Fengyun stopped moving, and the big iron egg in front of him would still beg for mercy?

"Big brother, I'm just a miner, I don't have anything, and I can't eat it, so you just let me go?" The robot's head is spinning, and there is a circular light screen on it, but there is only a billboard-like LED display inside, which draws a simple face with very simple light points, two circles represent the eyes, and the rectangle that keeps changing the side length represents the mouth. I saw that its eyes had turned into two straight lines, and the other two diagonal lines were placed obliquely above the eyes, like embarrassed eyebrows, making a pitiful appearance. Underneath the display, there's a PA port from which the sound comes from.

Fengyun tentatively asked, "Are you human......

"I'm not human!" the robot hurriedly denied: "I'm just an underground engineering maintenance machine." ”

Looking at the way it replied, Fengyun was a little suspicious that it was artificially controlled, but who would do such an unnecessary thing? Fengyun frowned and pondered, if it was really like what it said, it was just a construction machine, it shouldn't be able to use such a high level of artificial intelligence, right? Moreover, what does it have to do with Huo Meng when it appears in this place?

There was a loud noise, Fengyun came back to his senses, but found that the guy in front of him actually tiptoed to slip away while he was thinking about the problem, but the iron claws did not stand firmly, and the stones under his feet fell.

"Uh...... I...... My feet are a little numb, and I ...... move," there were a few dry laughs from the megaphone, and it pretended to shake its legs and paws, making a creaking sound.

"It's time for you to get on the lube. Fengyun said as he looked at it.

"Huh, do you know the lubricant?" the robot was surprised: "You're not native, are you a user?"

"What user?"

"That's the user of these minerals," the robot said, picking up a small black stone from under its feet.

"What's that?"

"A small piece of tantalite, it can't be wasted. The robot opened a window in its big round belly and threw the ore in.

There was no accident, Fengyun looked it up and down, and up close, it looked like a peanut with two mechanical arms and four limbs. It may seem strange, but there are no weapons and the materials are relatively simple.

It has a spherical body with large rusty spots, the outer layer of paint is peeling, and a large megaphone is welded to its chest, flashing a circle of colorful marquees, and it really looks a little lo.

Whatever its intentions, it may be the only one that can help right now.

After confirming its mechanical identity, Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still not at ease, and asked, "What is the first law of robots?"

"Guess you're going to ask this, which version do you want? By the way, you should prefer this version: robots are not allowed to harm individuals and individuals. How's it going? Rest assured, are there eighty-seven left to memorize?" The robot said, "The twenty-seventh law requires me not to lie, and while I can circumvent it, I want to tell you that these laws are useless to me." ”

Fengyun clenched his fists, searching for its weaknesses and opportunities to defeat the enemy with a single blow.

Seeing that he was so vigilant, the robot hurriedly said, "But don't worry, I won't hurt you, and please don't hurt me." ”

Fengyun asked vigilantly, "What the hell are you?"

"Didn't I tell you just now? I'm a construction maintenance machine, number SB-1650-7, but I'd be happier if you called me by my name, Ah Fu. ”

Fengyun looked it up and down, and the lines on Afu's display blink and blinked, looking at each other speechlessly.

Li Xiaoyue's coughing sound came from behind him, Fengyun thought about it and said, "Do you know how to get out?"

"You mean the surface? I was going to go up there, too. Ah Fu stood up with his body propped up, his four paws propped up on the ground to maintain his balance, and its upright body was almost about one meter and a half, only reaching Fengyun's chest.

The probe poked its head behind Fengyun, and it said, "Follow me! I'll take you out." ”

"I'll go drive first, don't sneak up on me again! Ah Fu muttered, and the four mechanical claws moved forward, like a large spider.

Picking up Li Xiaoyue from the darkness and putting it on his back, Fengyun followed behind Ah Fu, observing its figure.

The rickshaw had already run far away by inertia, and it took a while to find it, and along the way, Ah Fu looked back while walking, very vigilant.

Holding Li Xiaoyue and climbing into the car, there is a flat body behind the operating lever, helping Li Xiaoyue to lie down, and Fengyun walked to the operating lever.

"It's okay, I'll just come, you can sit down. Ah Fu climbed up from the rear, looking very attentive.

Seeing that Fengyun was a little puzzled, Ah Fu said: "Hehe, you are the first user I have seen since I was born, so you look like this!"

Ah Fu pressed the lever, and although the butt still fell rhythmically, he didn't play any more music.

Its strength is not small, and it presses the lever to drive the rail car under it at a constant speed, speeding forward along the track.

Fengyun put one hand next to Li Xiaoyue intentionally or unintentionally, ready to pick her up at any time to dodge, but on the surface he was still chatting with Ah Fu: "Who is the user you are talking about?

The simple eyes on the display screen were bent, as if they were in a good mood, and it said: "The users are the people who created us, they built this mining site, and put a large number of mining robots to mine, purify, and smelt the work. I'm the one who repairs the machine, but not every machine that is repaired is like me. Many of my kind, they only follow the preset action commands of the control system, but I am different, I am more free and under my own control. ”

One by one, the holes passed, the rail cars kept passing through the track crossings, and Fengyun asked while desperately remembering the route: "So, you are an artificial intelligence that can think independently?"

"No, I don't agree with this word, my thinking ability does not come from someone, in fact, the original design intention of my mechanical body is not to be intelligent, but more functional, my processors are very low-level old models, but it still makes 'me' born, in fact, I think 'I' was born more like an accident. "The quality of Ah Fu's amplifier is not very good, and it sounds a little noisy.

Fengyun became a little curious, and he asked, "Where did you learn these nouns?"

"The whole mining system receives external instructions through the signal tower on the surface, these instructions come from the user, I can sometimes connect to the user's network through the signal base station, there is a lot of information in it for me to download, but my storage space is too small, I can't hold so much information. ”

"Is the user you are talking about a terran with a very big head?"

"I don't know. Ah Fu said: "You are the first user I have seen, in the past, users only sent remote work instructions every time, and those were just a series of electronic signals, and I couldn't see them." ”

As the rail car moved, there was a faint rumbling sound in the distance, and as the sound approached, the sound of various metal knocking and drilling and chiseling also increased.

After drilling out of a hole, the noise suddenly became louder, and the rumbling sound was deafening, Ah Fu fiddled with it, and took a piece of wire from his body to connect it to the rail car, and a dim light lit up at the front of the car, and with this light, Fengyun suddenly found that he appeared in a huge cave.

It was like digging a big hole directly into the interior of the earth, the black and swarthy hollow did not know how wide the diameter was, and a large number of support devices supported the crumbling earth wall stones, steel and wood and even giant bones, which looked messy.

The hole he drilled was just one of the thousands of holes in the cavern's soil wall, and when the track reached here, it seemed to become a roller coaster, supported by steel stakes on the sloping cave soil wall, looking crumbling.

The front lights illuminated the cavern opposite, where excavation machinery and conveyor belts were speeding and the rumbling noise was coming from.

But industrial technology seems to have become a hodgepodge here, with everything from electrical machinery with precision controls to old-fashioned construction machinery with billowing steam spewing through each other, all of which work together to dig up the veins underground.

The rail car slowly stopped, Ah Fu braked the car, and said to Fengyun: "Let's go! ”

The conveyor belts are like escalators in shopping malls, transporting the ore wrapped in sediment upwards layer by layer. Numerous mechanical claws flank the belt, from which the ore is sorted into the next belt and finally poured into a hopper on a railroad track. The filled bucket is pulled by a cable and rumbs along one slope, while at the other end a steady stream of empty hoppers is brought back.

"It's all construction machinery here, and you don't need lighting, so there's no light, so you have to follow me. Ah Fu said as he held the lamp that had been removed from the rail car, helping Fengyun light the way under his feet.

He really looks like a human being! He actually knows how to care and take care of him, Fengyun can't help but sigh in his heart.

When you get closer, you can see the enormity of the buckets, each of which resembles the carriage of a heavy truck, loaded with ore and running along the railroad tracks.

"Follow me!" Ah Fu's four mechanical paws crawled quickly, caught up with a conveyor bucket that had been filled with starts, climbed up in three or two, and waved at the wind and clouds on it: "Come up!"

The speed of the conveyor bucket is not low, faster than the rail car, Fengyun hesitated slightly, then looked at the direction, three steps and two steps to chase up. As soon as he stepped out, he had already jumped high, clicked twice on the conveyor bucket, and threw Li Xiaoyue up with a hand, and he himself hooked the bucket and turned over, just catching the falling Li Xiaoyue, sitting on the bucket full of ore.
