Chapter 515: The Man of the Machine

"Da... Da... Da ......" The sound of strong footsteps sounded from far and near, and Henry Sdorf walked from a distance with a steady step. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Behind him, a staff corps of more than thirty men automatically lined up in two columns and followed him closely. The calm and strength characteristic of the Russian nation is undoubtedly evident in these people.

As the commander of the 63rd Fleet, like other commanders, he always likes to use people of the same nation. For example, most of the staff officers and low-level soldiers of the First Fleet are Chinese who are known for their tenacity, the Second Fleet is mainly composed of flexible Americans, and the Third Fleet is mainly Europeans who are known for their rigor and stability.

Such a situation was strongly avoided in the early days of the establishment of the Jinwu Fleet, because at that time it had just left the earth, and the concept of the country was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was easy to form a division by gathering the country as a unit, and it was not easy to deal with the national contradictions accumulated in history.

However, this disappeared without a trace with the addition of the Aimys and later more races, all of whom were earthlings, but when it was called, they were divided into Chinese, American, Russian, Japanese, and European. Nowadays, the name of the country used to be more of a classification similar to the national cultural circle.

And after the risk of secession is eliminated, it seems much more normal for soldiers of the same country to gather in a fleet. After all, it is much more efficient for soldiers with the same cultural traditions to fight together than to mix together. It's as if two followers of Islam together are much more powerful together than one Islam and one Christian together. First of all, in terms of cultural beliefs, the two sides cannot fully trust, let alone fight together.

"Inside" saw Henry Sdorf and his party coming, and Gorky, the head of the scientific research group, hurriedly led the way in front and walked into the nearest door. This is a white room of more than 70 square meters, the area is not large, and if all 30 people get in, there will be a feeling of crowding. The room had been set up, and a circle of tables and chairs made of space plastic had a white sheen like ivory, forming a circle around the room.

In the open space of the center is a metal canister, which has been preliminarily processed by the scientific research department. The bulky boron-lead alloy cans have been discarded, and now used to hold brains is BL113 Bioalloy, a biological alloy that was first found in the body of a carnivorous creature.

This land overlord will often swallow some metal bonanza, which is refined and enriched in the body, and then secreted into the body surface through exocrine means, and then synthesized into a reinforced biological armor that clings to the surface of the dermis in place of the skin. At present, the manufacturing method of this biological alloy has been mastered, and the medical chamber and the reinforcement chamber used for body strengthening are made of BL113 alloy.

The BL113 alloy tank is filled with a high concentration of nutrient solution, which is the one that acts as a supplement for the soldiers after the body is strengthened, this nutrient solution can meet all the nutritional needs of the human body, and does not need to be digested for the first time, just like glucose can be directly absorbed by the human organs. It is a good medium for the brain, as long as you pay attention to sterility.

The Canners (as the soldiers jokingly called) did not make any sounds, even though the newly installed system had been integrated with a sound-producing device, and an automatic translation system had been installed to prevent language barriers between the two sides. But the other party is like a goose with a stupid head, and only turns around and barks when you kick it, and the rest of the time it is completely silent.

"Uh-huh......" After everyone sat down, Henry Sdorf cleared his throat and prepared to speak: "I am Vice Admiral Henry Sdorf, the commander of the Golden Crow Fleet, then, for the sake of our better communication in the future, please introduce yourself to us" Henry Sdorf finished speaking and waited for the other party's next words.

“…………”

"Commander, it's not okay to ask like this, the other party is like a semi-intelligent assistant program that has just stepped off the production line, very dull, it can't understand your question at all" Gorky broke the silence and explained to Henry Sdorf.

"Well, you ask, ask him what his name is, whether he is male or female, how old he is, what his position is, the goal of his mission and, most importantly, the location of his home planet. Damn, we searched the entire star system and didn't find his home planet, there is no trace of civilization on all the planets. And a civilization capable of building probes for the galaxy, even if it is extinct, should have some clues left before it is right," Henry Dorf straightened his beard and threw the question in front of Gorky.

"Okay!"

"Answer your name, please?"

"Unfamiliar words, unclear meaning"

"A name is a code name unique to intelligent life, a title used to distinguish it from others, that is, how do others call you?"

"Nine and three-sixths!"

"Meaning?"

"In the ninth cycle of the star system, six one-way spacecraft of the ring star system were launched from the parent star, nine and three-sixths, the third of the six in the ninth batch"

"What is the mission goal, that is, your role on the probe?"

"Observe the star system and regularly inform the parent star of the galaxy. When the conditions are met, we will explore outer space to find the cause of the formation of the death storm."

"Where is your home planet? Which planet are you from? Gorky asked, opening the star map of the star system and pointing to several of the planets.

"The second planet of the inner star system"

"Ask them about the physical morphology of their race," interjected Henry Storf.

"Do you have a body? I mean a body that looks like us, not just a mind like you."

"After the Bodogs are sexually mature and reproduced, they will remove the thinking organs, and the other tissues will be sent to the protein recovery center for recycling."

"Recycling?"

"To make a nutrient solution for the survival of the Bodoga people, as well as the life materials necessary for the survival of the next generation of the Bodogs"

"Vomit...... Eat yourselves??? ”

“？ …… Don't understand. Making the most of every resource and ensuring the survival of the group with maximum efficiency is the first priority of the Bodogs."

"Did you get into the probe of your own volition?"

"Voluntary? Unfamiliar words. The greatest value of every Bodog's survival is to be useful to the race, and being able to be loaded into a detector is the greatest embodiment of the value of three sixths of nine and sixths" Three of Nine and Six didn't know what it meant to be voluntary, but he explained it according to his own ideas.

With the increase in communication with each other, the minds of nine-and-three-sixths have also become much more active, and they are no longer the rigid machine language they used to be. The previous stiffness was partly due to the nature of the work of the nine-and-sixths, and on the other hand, it was also related to the time that the nine-and-sixths had been alone in space for so long. In the age of the earth, some people have done experiments in this regard, and if they do not communicate with people for a long time, they will become dull and withdrawn, and even lose the ability to speak.

"Flying to outer space is destined to be a path to death, aren't you afraid of death?" Henry Sdorf interrupted Gorky's questioning and asked a straight question. As long as it is an intelligent life, there is no one who does not fear death, and even as long as it is life, it is instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and Henry Sdorf would like to hear what nine and three-sixths think about this.

"What is death?" Nine and three-sixths felt that they had encountered far more questions that day than at any time in their lives, and if it weren't for the fact that the other party looked similar to the Bodogs, nine and three-sixths would never have answered so many strange questions.

"Cessation of life activities"

"Isn't it normal for machinery to stop running sometimes? Why be afraid? "Nine and thirty sixths of a strange thing.

"I'm talking about yourself, intelligent life, not that pile of cold steel"

"Nine and three-sixths are machines, and intelligent life is nothing but a special kind of machinery! There is no intelligent life in the definition of the Bodogs, everything is mechanical, and the functions of the mechanical ......" (To be continued.) )
