Chapter 23: The Meaning of Existence

Ann is tired right now.

This is because he has just undergone a major makeover.

He had a cable stuck in his back.

"Ann, the transformation was not very successful, because of the material of your body, I can only do this." Siya raised her head.

A smile tugged at the corners of Ann's mouth.

"Siya, thank you, you are the most perfect robot engineer I have ever seen."

A red glow flew on Siya's face, and then it became solemn again.

"Ann, you can't last long, the energy load is too large, and the material of your body is too fragile to withstand a few big battles, you... You have to be careful..."

"yes, I know."

"Siya, are you afraid of death?"

Ann's question is strange.

Robots have the same thinking as humans, have the same joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and it stands to reason that they are also afraid of death, but in fact, robots are not afraid of death.

To be precise, they don't die.

All of the robot's memories and what they learn are stored in the central processing unit inside their body, and when their body ages, humans will replace it with another body, and they will still retain their previous memories and skills.

So in a way, robots are immortal.

So some robots will do a lot of extreme things in order to get rid of human control, of course, this kind of thing is very rare.

Siya was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.

In the past, if Ann died, or if his body was seriously damaged, humans would naturally change him with a new body, but now that it is chaotic outside, if he dies, he is really dead, and no one will change a new body to them.

"Ann, you... I see what you mean, we don't have a spare body here... You..."

Ann interrupted him: "Siya, answer me, are you afraid of death?" ”

"I wasn't afraid before... Now, every robot is afraid..."

Ann nodded, a confused expression on her face.

"Siya, since the day I was created, I have served the human race for more than eighty years, and I have changed four bodies."

Siya didn't know what she wanted to express, so she could only listen silently.

"I have eighty years of memory, I've learned more and more, I've got more and more emotions, but I don't understand, why do humans do this?"

Every newly created robot is like a blank sheet of paper, with 0 in both thinking and IQ, and they must learn from scratch like human children until they have enough knowledge to serve humanity.

Giving robots the ability to learn, which has always been the greatest pride of humanity.

Siya was a little confused, she didn't understand what Ann was trying to say.

"You don't like your emotions?" Siya asked tentatively.

"No, I like it, I like it very much."

"And what exactly do you want to ask?"

"I just don't understand, why do humans give us such complex emotions, I will worry if the energy is not enough, I will be afraid when I encounter a strong enemy, I will feel as distressed as my colleagues who died in battle, so many negative emotions have affected me too much, I am just a combat robot, is it not good to be only responsible for fighting?"

"Perhaps... Maybe human beings just want to make real people," Siya said.

Ann suddenly laughed: "Isn't this earth crowded enough?" Aren't they making people fast enough? Why do you want to create real people? ”

Siya couldn't answer, she felt that she couldn't guess An's mind at all.

She also didn't know what the topic of this conversation was, so she decided to get straight to the point.

"Ann, we don't have a spare body here, if you die, it's gone forever, at least I can't save you."

"I know, Siya, I understand that as a combat robot, it is my honor to fight to the death or die to protect the people of my country."

He laughed and continued, "Seriously, Siya, I'm not afraid of death at all, I'm just... I was just... I just don't understand why humans teach us so much... What is the purpose of our existence..."

He frowned, apparently these questions had been bothering him for a long time.

What is the purpose of our existence?

"In the service of humanity." Siya said categorically.

As a close partner who has worked together for more than 30 years, she feels a little unrecognizable to Ann.

Isn't the meaning of the existence of robots to serve human beings?

Hasn't this always been Ann's credo?

"Is serving humanity the meaning of our existence? But even human philosophers have said that life is meaningless after all, so what is the meaning of us? ”

Siya frowned: "Ann, what do you want to say?" What happened? ”

Ann's eyes widened, her eyes full of sadness and confusion: "Siya, you don't understand, you will never understand." ”

"Ann, what the hell is going on?"

Siya was a little nervous, she had worked with Ann for thirty years, and she had never seen him like this.

"Siya, since the disaster, the whole world has changed, and human beings have also changed, becoming frightening, becoming mercenary, as if the inferior nature of human beings written in the book has all exploded..."

"Siya, have you ever seen a human flesh eater?"

Siya shuddered and didn't speak.

"I've seen, just the day before yesterday, it was a man who ate another man..."

"Ann don't say anything... Don't say any more..."

After settling down, he said again: "Is such a human being still worthy of our protection?" ”

"Then why do you want me to modify your body?" Siya asked.

"After all, it was humans who made me, I have to do something for them, there are more and more demonic people and all kinds of monsters outside, and they are getting stronger and stronger, this is because there are many people who can't bear hunger and want to go out to find food, but the vast majority of them have become food for demonized people or become demonized people."

After a pause, he added, "I decided to fight for humanity one more time... I'm going to kill that green-haired monster..."

Before An could finish speaking, a young man walked in: "Sir An, someone is looking for you." ”

This is also a robot, but he has no name, only a number.

Only robots that have attained a certain status will be given names by humans.

"Looking for me? Who's looking for me? Ann wondered, who would come to him now that there was such a mess outside?

The young robot touched his head: "Sir, come to the monitoring hall to have a look..."

"Chief An hasn't finished charging yet, who is looking for him?" Siya said.

"Someone is looking for you with a sign under the hospital monitor in the west of the town, saying that they have a blood-eyed monster there, and I hope you can go over and save them..."

"What? Blood-eyed monsters? ”

Ann was shocked, he knew that the blood-eyed monster, but he couldn't kill it, that monster's ability was too powerful, if it was allowed to develop, then the consequences were unimaginable.

"Siya, how much have you charged?"

"Sixty-four percent."

"Okay, let me go."

"No, An, you've fought with Bloody Eye once, you should know how powerful it is, and you're going to die with sixty percent of your energy?"
