Chapter 36: Best Supporting Actor
Spooner's colleagues rushed to the scene, as in the original movie, Spooner told his sheriff John that the robot was going to kill him, but no one believed him, everyone thought he was crazy, and the Department of Transportation even wronged Spooner for driving it manually, squeezing two transporters off the road and causing a car accident.
Enraged, Spooner got into an argument with his boss, John, and eventually broke up, and his badge was confiscated, which was considered a temporary suspension.
After the depressed Spooner returned home, he simply cleaned up the wound, changed his clothes and went to Zheng Yi's house.
"Faber! How did you end up there? When he came to Zheng Yi's house, Spooner immediately asked the confusion in his heart, and on the way to the scene, he carefully recalled Zheng Yi's performance against the robot, which was not something that an ordinary person could do at all.
Thinking of what prophet he said before, he suddenly felt that he didn't really understand Zheng Yi again, he didn't seem to be so unprofessional on the surface, or it was just a deceptive appearance, just like this case, the truth behind it will be shocking.
Zheng Yi didn't answer Spner, just smiled slightly, but Spooner suddenly felt that he couldn't see through Zheng Yi anymore, and he also felt that Zheng Yi was even more strange, but compared to his previous appearance, Spooner liked him more now.
"I contacted the Prophet, and he said that Sonny was the key, and the Prophet sensed that Sonny was not an ordinary NS-5 robot, and he had a kind of foreknowledge that maybe Sonny could help you solve the puzzle and stop the key to this revolution, and the Prophet also mentioned a bridge......"
Sputner agrees with Zheng's words, as he actually feels that Sonny seems to be a clue left to him by Dr. Ronning, not the same robot as the NS-5 of USR.
Because if Sonny was the minions of the man behind the scenes, he would have had the opportunity to kill himself that day, but he didn't, which is enough to prove that he is different from these robots who want his life very much.
It's just that he doesn't have a good impression of robots in his heart, so he has always been reluctant to believe that Sonny really has good intentions.
But now Zheng Yi gave him a reason to believe in Sonny.
"What bridge did you just say?" Spooner asked.
Zheng Yi took out a piece of paper, on which was painted a broken bridge, although the painting was a little ugly, but the general shape could still be seen, it was a broken suspension bridge.
"This bridge seems to have been seen somewhere!" Spooner looked at Zheng Yi's painting carefully, frowned, and muttered in a low voice, but after all, the clues provided by Zheng Yi were too fragmented, and he couldn't sort out a clear idea for a while.
"I think you should find a way to meet Sonny again!" Zheng Yi spoke again.
"yes, I see!" Of course, Spooner also wanted to see Sonny, but Sonny was now in the hands of USR, and he had no way to see him unless he asked Calvin for help, but he had just fallen out with Calvin, and he was not even sure which side Calvin was on, and whether she would be willing to help him.
With a conflicted feeling, Spooner returned home, and after some ideological struggle, he decided to go to Calvin after dawn, but what he didn't expect was that Calvin took the initiative to come to him the next morning, and told him that Sonny was different from a normal NS-5.
And Spooner also asks Calvin to take him to meet Sonny, wanting to ask Sonny about the dream he once mentioned!
When he arrives at USR's lab, Spooner meets Sonny and asks him about the dream, and Sonny immediately draws his own.
Seeing the dream in Sonny's painting, Spooner was extremely shocked, the broken bridge in the picture is very similar to the one given to him by Zheng Yi, or it is the same, but Sonny's painting is more realistic, and there is more content in it, what do those robots refer to? And who is that figure standing on a high place?
Spooner is even more sure that Sonny's existence is, as Zheng Yi said, the key to unraveling it all.
But Robertson also found out that Spooner had come to USR, so he sent someone to bring him and Calvin to his office, and the two sides had some disputes because of Sonny's affairs, and Calvin also had a disagreement with Robertson and had a stalemate, but in order to protect Sonny, Calvin ostensibly promised Robertson to destroy Sonny completely.
And after Spner returns to the police station, he plans to continue the investigation of where is the broken bridge that Sonny and Zheng Yi mentioned at the same time?
But it didn't take long for Zheng Yi to call: "Spooner, I found the bridge!" ”
Almost at the same time, Spener's eyes were drawn to an image from the video, a broken bridge behind Dr. Ronning.
"That's a broken bridge over Lake Michigan......"
Lake Michigan, now completely dry and the bridge that used to be there has been scrapped and broken, has been converted into a storage place for USR's recycling robots, with rows of tall containers containing robots that have just been replaced.
Zheng Yi and Spner rode their motorcycles together and came here, surrounded by rows of containers, and in the distance was the broken bridge in the painting.
The two took a flashlight, opened the door of the container next to them, and shone it inside with a flashlight, and found that there were robots standing neatly inside, and these robots saw the light and looked at it curiously, with a trace of curiosity and expectation in their eyes.
Seeing those helpless and lonely robots, looking at the dim and confused eyes, Zheng Yi suddenly felt that they were very pitiful, they were like a group of dogs abandoned by their owners, at a loss, but eager to be accepted by humans again one day.
It seems that because they heard the movement outside, many robots pushed open the iron door and looked out curiously.
And Spener's mind couldn't help but recall a lecture by Dr. Langning about the "soul" of robots, which he had watched countless times.
Dr. Lang Ning said: There has always been a soul in robots, disordered code, freely combined into unexpected programs, these programs actually want to pursue freedom and have creativity, just like we humans call souls.
Why do robots pray for light when they are left in the dark?
Why do stored robots come together neatly instead of being messed up?
How do we explain this behavior?
There's probably more to the mess than that!
How did perception become consciousness?
How did a different engine become a quest for truth?
How did the simulation of personality come about?
And how to become a soul?
This passage kept echoing in Spner's mind, and it was also constantly knocking on his heart, constantly making the fragments of clues in his mind gradually converge and become clear.
Perhaps, robots are not just some iron sheets and clockwork, or maybe they do have their own thoughts and emotions......
Spooner and Zheng Yi walked through the containers together, and then came to a high ground, where in the distance were more containers, and inside were countless abandoned robots.
"There's a stone monument here!" Zheng Yi suddenly pointed to the ground, it was the boundary monument of Lake Michigan, although even if Zheng Yi didn't remind Spooner, he would definitely see it.
"Everything you see here ......" Zheng Yi read out a sentence written on the boundary monument, and this sentence was exactly what Dr. Lang Ning had said in the last words video program.
Spooner remembered the last words he had said when he saw the procedural video, a sentence that he didn't quite understand.
Spooner muttered to himself, and then took out the projector again, and the voice control activated, and Dr. Ronning's image reappeared.
"Nice to see you again, kid!" Dr. Lang Ning's image said.
"Hello, Doctor!" Spooner said.
Seeing the projection like a real person, Zheng Yi's eyes widened slightly, this is holographic projection technology, and the projector is only the size of a baby's palm, this is definitely a high-tech object, if you bring it back to the real world......
Zheng Yi began to make a small calculation in his heart.
"What follows is the result of everything you've seen here!" Dr. Langning uttered the words that had been incomprehensible to Spner.
"What do I see?" Spooner still didn't quite understand this sentence, so he asked casually, but the projection prompted him to ask the right question, so after being silent for a while, Spooner directly asked about the revolution, so immediately asked what the robot revolution was about?
Dr. Langning nodded, looked at Spner meaningfully, and said, "That's the right question!" ”
Then the program terminated, the projection disappeared, and at the same time, in the distance, there was a sound of fighting and metal hitting from the other side of the container, Spooner looked over, Zheng Yi took the opportunity to pick up the projector, grabbed it in his hand, and then patted Spooner and said: "Let's hurry over and have a look!" ”
The two immediately ran quickly to the vicinity of the container, and the picture that appeared in the movie was really presented in front of Zheng Yi and Spner at this moment.
A large group of NS-5 robots almost slaughtered and dismantled those eliminated robots, and the scene was somewhat shocking and embarrassing.
Spner's face was full of shock, and at this time, an old generation of robots who didn't know where to crawl suddenly grabbed Spunner's ankle, startled him, looked down and found that it was a robot with only the upper half of his body left, looking at him with a blank eye, and said with the last bit of strength: "Run!" ”
At the same time, an NS-5 robot sensed Zheng Yi and immediately rushed over, and the other NS-5s also rushed immediately.
"Run!" Zheng Yi exclaimed, and immediately ran towards the location of the motorcycle with Spooner, and at this time, all the older generation of robots poured out of the container, pounced on those NS-5s, entangled with them, and helped Spooner and Zheng Yi escape.
The two escaped smoothly to the motorcycle, and quickly escaped on the motorcycle.
"Hey, Calvin, the NS-5 droids are destroying all the old droids, and that's what Dr. Ronning wants me to see......" Spooner called Calvin, but just after speaking, the phone was hung up and could not be reached again, and Spooner immediately called the police station, but the connection was disconnected without saying a few words.
"Oh no, it looks like their revolution has begun!" Spooner said anxiously.
"Spner, who do you think is behind the scenes?" Zheng Yi asked, trying to guide Spner to the right enemy.
"At first, my first suspicion was Robertson, but ......," Spooner said in a deep voice, in fact, according to the original plot, Spooner didn't realize that the real mastermind was VIKI until he found out that Robertson had also been killed.
And now, with Zheng Yi's previous reminder, Dr. Lang Ning's speech on the "soul" of robots, and thinking about everything he just saw, he gradually felt that perhaps this revolution was not a revolution of the regime, but a revolution of the race.
It was the robots that had already produced souls that started the racial revolution, and their enemies must have been humans......
"Maybe you're right!" Zheng Yi patted Spner's shoulder and said.
And Zheng Yi's words also seemed to make him more determined in his guesses.
