Chapter Twenty-Seven: Another Earth

"Last night, the talented musician Zhang He, who has the reputation of 'Prince of Love Songs', visited Nanhua and held a great audio tour concert at Nanhua City Stadium. It was the second of his tour, and it caused a huge sensation, and the stadium with a capacity of 50,000 people was packed to capacity.

However, according to people familiar with the matter, after the concert, two young women forcibly broke into the backstage, and one of the women threatened Zhang He with a gun, which was suspected of emotional disputes. This morning, our reporter contacted Zhang He's side about this matter, and his agent strongly denied it. What is going on, this reporter will continue to follow up and report......"

On the virtual screen on the exterior wall of the Binhai Public Library building, today's news is being broadcast.

Yang Su, as usual, walked into the library through the staff passage.

He is a librarian and has been working at the Marina City Library for the past two years. With the help of his position, he flipped through all the books and documents in the library.

Books are one of the precious treasures of mankind, which condenses the development of the entire human history, condenses the essence of human thought and art from generation to generation, and reflects the cognition of the world by human beings in different periods.

The library has a large collection of books covering various periods and fields, as well as many valuable documents. Through comprehensive reading, you can quickly understand the development of the world, understand the background of the times, and integrate into today's society.

There is a lot of overlap between this world and his original world.

For example, it is also called the earth, 12 months and 365 days a year, there is also the sun and the moon, there is also the solar system, the milky way, and the whole world is ruled by humans.

For example, the various elements of the social system, the planning and layout of the city and various supporting facilities, people's living habits and entertainment and leisure methods, the love and pursuit of various stars, and so on.

But!

The technology in this world is very advanced.

More than 100 years ago, the explosion of science and technology, led by artificial intelligence and robotics, brought the fifth industrial revolution to the world.

Artificial intelligence systems and robots have been widely used, freeing human hands and freeing humans from all kinds of hard, heavy, complicated, boring, repetitive and other work that betrays physical strength and dignity.

Human beings can devote more energy to education, management, research and development, innovation and other work, which has accelerated the speed of scientific and technological development in the whole world.

Yang Su once suspected that he had traveled to the future.

However, different human histories, different continental plates, and different national maps are all telling him a fact -

This is another Earth!

The country to which he belongs is called the Shenzhou Empire, located in the eastern hemisphere, with a long history, a vast territory and a large population, and is one of the three major powers in the world today.

The country is divided into 56 provinces, and it is divided into nine major theaters according to the direction, and the central capital region is guarded.

Binhai City, located in Nam Giang Province, belongs to the Southeast Theater of Operations, is an economically developed city and a prosperous city, and was the provincial capital of Nam Giang Province 80 years ago. The Municipal Public Library is the largest and richest library in Nam Giang Province and one of the Empire's A-level libraries.

"Xiao Yang, did you see the girl my sister introduced to you last night, how do you feel?"

"That, I'm not compatible with her."

"Why is it not suitable, don't you look down on others?"

"It's that I'm not worthy of her, my education is too low."

"Well, that's a real problem. But don't be discouraged, the young man is talented, and my sister will help you find one again. ”

"No need, Sister Fang. I know you care about me, wait until I pass the academic exam......"

In the staff channel, chatting with personnel commissioner Liu Fang, Yang Su entered the men's locker room.

Change into your uniform, put on your badge, and head to the work area.

After the system scans, it is determined that the person and card are one, and the console is unlocked.

He pressed the start button, and the side door opened, and six robots in blue and white uniforms with artificial skin stepped out of the side door one by one, taking mechanical steps.

"Morning, 801."

"Hello, 802."

"803, is your leg hurt?"

"804, your button is open......"

These six robots are the employees of the 8th area on the third floor of the library, responsible for all the work of sorting books, registering borrowing, returning records, answering readers' inquiries, and helping readers find books.

Yang Su has only one responsibility - to manage six robots.

If the robot is damaged, malfunctioning, insufficient energy, or has abnormal behavior, he needs to report it to the corresponding department in the museum in time; Or there is a conflict with the reader and he needs to deal with it.

Overall, it's a very easy job.

Seeing that the six robots were doing their jobs, he picked up the communicator, called up the virtual screen, and watched the news on the Internet.

The library collection of books can help him understand the world, and the online information can keep him up to date.

Another awakened robot has been discovered?

Yang Su clicked on the news.

“…… Half an hour ago, an awakening robot was found in a hotel in Shimen City. The police dispatched the police quickly and quickly evacuated the hotel guests and nearby people; The military arrived in time to subdue it and there were no casualties. The following is the scene footage sent back by our reporter......"

In the clear picture, I saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes in the hotel lobby scattered and surrounded by five soldiers.

The non-commissioned officer who led the team kept communicating with the middle-aged woman, as if to persuade her to give up resistance.

After a while, the middle-aged woman suddenly became emotional, roared a few words, picked up the heavy solid wood sofa at her hand and smashed it at the non-commissioned officer, turned around and ran towards the hotel door.

A soldier opened fire decisively, and the bullet turned into a power grid to cover the middle-aged woman.

The intense electric current flashed with arc light, instantly burning the middle-aged woman's clothes, scorching part of her skin, revealing the metal torso inside.

The two soldiers remained on alert, and the other two immediately switched weapons, firing a black and white slurry. The slurry fuses with each other on the body of the middle-aged woman and gradually solidifies, and finally forms a cocoon that envelops the middle-aged woman.

The picture ends as the black-and-white cocoon is dragged away by the soldiers.

After the Fifth Industrial Revolution, robots entered thousands of households.

For more than 100 years, the robot awakening is not an exception, it is often reported in the news, and the public is accustomed to it.

Humans can accept robots, but they can't accommodate awakened robots. While vigorously developing robot technology, we have never relaxed our defense against robots. Once the robot is found to be awakened, it is either captured or destroyed on the spot.

Zero tolerance!

This is the attitude of humans towards awakened robots.

In the past two years, Yang Su has seen similar images in news reports many times, and each time he is shocked, and he thinks about the same question every time.

What should I do if I'm the one who is surrounded?

The problem is unsolvable, often sending chills down his back, and forcing him to be careful every day to avoid showing his feet and being discovered by humans to be an NPC.

"It's not boring to watch this kind of news again."

The fragrant wind hit, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl hugged Yang Su's arm and leaned on his shoulder affectionately.
