Far away from the origins of the base, he rarely received an order from Gu Xia asking him to go back immediately, and he also knew the urgency of the matter, so after directly handing over the matter at hand to Ning Mu to manage, he immediately got in the car and drove towards the base quickly.

"What's going on? So anxious. ”

Ning Mu opened the canned food in his hand, and during this time, with the development of Beilian agriculture, the types of food have also increased a lot.

Coupled with a series of seeds taken out of the underground facilities, the variety of staple and sideline foods on the Beilian side has been greatly improved.

Even because there are well-preserved animal fertilized eggs in the underground facilities, under the vigorous promotion of the old summer, Beilian has begun to hatch and reproduce animals on a small scale.

I believe that in the near future, Beilian will be able to eat some meat from time to time, and there will be no need to make those strange things into protein supplements, and then let everyone send them down with water.

Anyway, Gu Xia himself has never eaten this kind of thing, and compared to the lack of protein, so Xia can't stand the nausea after knowing the raw materials of protein supplements.

But fortunately, I can take out a few canned soybeans from the system factory from time to time to eat, and I can solve the problem of protein shortage.

"It seems that the chief asked the minister to go back quickly, probably because there is something important to discuss with the minister."

Poking a potato with chopsticks and putting it in his mouth, an officer beside Ning Mu replied while chewing.

"Okay, then this time will be slower, the origin is not here, the control of the robot is not with us, we can only rely on ourselves for the time being."

During this time, because of the help of satellites, whether it is communication or maps, Beilian has done as much as possible.

Therefore, Xia also chose the time to adjust Ning Mu to the position of the commander of the standing army to assist in the expansion of the Northern Alliance, and now they are more than three hundred miles away from the base of the Northern Alliance, although they have not yet stepped out of the area that has been expanded to the last time.

……

After half a day of waiting, Gu Xia finally saw the origin in the office.

At this time, the origin is still a dusty appearance, and you can see the hurry along the way at a glance.

Therefore, Xia took the origin to clean it, and in the process of rinsing, so Xia paid special attention to the back of the head of the origin.

Indeed, as Fu Changhui said, there is a circular interface there, which is not much different from what he remembers.

While waiting for the origin to return, Gu Xia had already observed the back of the heads of the engineering robots, and they did not have a similar access location.

Therefore, the accuracy of this message can be basically determined.

Waiting for Origin to dry, Natsu brought him into the office.

Sitting on the chair, Xia Xia quietly looked at this old friend who had been following him, and did not speak for a long time.

But in the end, he spoke.

"Origin, are we friends?"

"Of course."

"I'm asking you a question, and you can choose not to answer it, but if you still think we're friends, I want you to tell me the truth, okay?"

"You ......"

The origin seems to be aware of something, and at this time he is a little speechless like an ordinary person, probably because the processor can't process this information.

"Someone told me that you are not actually an engineering robot, but a CTXK-type war robot, I didn't believe it at first, but the facts are there, and I've seen a lot, and now I can't help but believe it."

Therefore Xia directly said what he knew, not caring at all about the possible consequences.

Origin was stunned for a long time, and the indicator light on his head flickered several times.

"I didn't expect to be found now, can you tell me, what are your plans for me? Is it destruction or something else? ”

The voice of the origin is calm, and there are no fearful feelings in it.

"I don't have that plan, I just want to ask you a question, do you already have self-awareness and intelligence?"

Yes, after the initial loss, Gu Xia quickly came out of the loss, and what replaced this feeling was a kind of curiosity.

"I'm not sure, but if compared to my kind, I'm really a lot smarter than theirs."

So Xia showed that this was really the case, and continued: "In this way, my speculation should be fine, if you don't have self-awareness, you won't think of lying to me, and you won't show so many different behaviors from other robots in the days to come." ”

"Why do you conclude that I think these behaviors are something that the main core has learned in communicating with humans for a long time, and maybe it's just an act used to deceive the human senses."

The mechanical voice of the origin was still so calm, so calm that the old summer could not feel a little temperature.

But judging from what Origin said, Xia felt that his thoughts were fine, and Origin did have a sense of self.

According to the technology on the stars, the origin is that he has stepped into the era of synths.

"I once knew a robot who had self-awareness, but didn't realize that in front of others, she would have the same joys and sorrows as an ordinary person, but after discovering her journal, she closed her heart and told others that she was deliberately imitating human behavior."

And when others tell him not to pretend to be human anymore, he reverts to his sluggish appearance. But then I learned that she actually had a sense of self, and it was only to protect herself that she used a clumsy way to cover herself. ”

So Xia paused as he spoke, and walked to the Origin.

"Origin, do you say you're like that child, just using excuses to cover yourself, or like her, not being aware of yourself, and hiding in a clumsy way?"

Yuan Yuan didn't speak for a long time, and it took more than ten minutes before he suddenly said, "Is there really such a robot?" ”

"Really."

"My detector tells me you're lying, he doesn't seem to be real."

"Ahem......"

"Can you tell me the truth?"

So Xia wiped his forehead, in this case, the origin has the mind to argue with himself, and his purpose is probably achieved.

"I said, I believe she really exists, but she doesn't exist in reality, understand?"

"Meaning, he exists in some kind of book or story?"

"yes, not really."

So Xia said angrily and turned around: "How can I say it, she made me believe more that robots can also have self-awareness." ”

"It's funny to say, she always says she's a high-performance combat robot, but she's actually a housekeeper, and then she always messes things up, but it's cute."

"Can I know his name?"

The voice of the origin came from behind.

Her name was ...... Atherine, a little turnip. ”
