Him and their stars

General Griffith, from the Iron Army Complex, is one hundred and fifteen years old and in the prime of his life as a Palladium man.

As we all know, more than 90% of the currently known civilized races in the galaxy have their natural life spans concentrated in the range of sixty to one hundred and twenty years old. As for the Pallai people, the main ethnic group of the Iron Army Alliance, as long as they don't die unexpectedly, most of them will live to be over 200 years old, and they belong to the rare 10%.

The long years have given the Pallai people rich study and work experience, as well as richer life experiences, and also given them more choices in life. Griffith is both a soldier and a politician - this is the same thing in the Iron Army Complex anyway - but he told Yu Lian that the profession he is most proud of is actually that of educator and artist. He believes that it is impossible for him to go down in history as a national leader, but he should be able to leave some historical achievements as a cultural person.

"A man of culture!" Apart from smiling and repeating mechanically, Yu Lian really didn't know what to say anymore.

"Yeah, bang bang bang bang..." General Griffith simulated a section with a rhythmic electronic sound: "Colonel, don't you think this music actually contains a grand epic?"

If this guy really sang a piece of electronic music, Yu Lian would just admit it. But the key problem is that although the bang bang bang bang he hummed just now still has a little sense of rhythm, it is completely out of tune and cannot be considered music at all. Of course, if you think about it carefully, it is somewhat similar to the atmosphere of rotation and friction of various machines in an automated factory.

"In this universe, the only things that can make all civilizations reach a consensus are mathematics and music." The electronic sound emitted by General Griffith beat: "Look, although you seemed to disagree with my singing just now, But at least you can feel the beauty inside, right?”

That being said, as long as you accept this setting, it does sound pretty good. Especially for an industrialist like Yu Lian, he could really hear the surging vitality inside.

"So, isn't this music? Can't this carry culture and art?" General Griffith said: "I think this is what I should leave to future generations."

"I see, a super-large theme park with the theme of a robot factory, this is what you are going to leave us all." Yu Lian thoughtfully said: "The sound of the automated work of the robot control is made more detailed. Played in a rhythmic way, it becomes the theme song of the park. This is indeed a type of music."

"Yes, everyone does have prejudices against intelligent robot technology, and such prejudices will also be derived from our ethnic group. However, prejudices are caused by inherent cognition. If we want to eliminate this, we must first ourselves Take practical actions." At this point, General Griffith's electronic voice flashed, as if with a hint of gratitude: "However, I must also thank you, Colonel Yu Lian."

"Thank me?"

General Iron Man's lightbulb eyes flickered with light, which seemed to be brewing with some abundant emotions. The electronic synthesized sound was turned up to the maximum in an instant:

"I dream that one day, on the Red Mountain of Wolfgang, the son of Wolfgang Gladiator will be able to sit down with the son of Astral Knight and talk about the friendship of comrades. I dream that one day, even Heilao The Nemesis Sector and the Symoea Sector, two places where justice has disappeared and oppression is rampant, will also become oases of justice and peace. I dream that one day, a poor young Razakai will live in a place that is not based on their race. , but evaluate their lives in the universe based on the quality of their character. They are not born to be servants and servants of the Tirero people, they may also become scholars, engineers, and artists."

Yu Lian really didn't expect that one day his masterpiece would appear here, and for a moment he really didn't know what expression he should use to respond.

“I dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will descend, the rough and tortuous roads will become smooth, and the Holy Light will be revealed and shine on the world.

I hope to convey this belief to you! With this belief, we will be able to carve out a stone of hope from the abyss of despair. With this faith, we will be able to transform the cacophony of bickering in this country into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this belief, we will definitely understand that ten thousand years is too late, we only seize the day! "

If General Griffith's electronic synthesized sound can really cause some emotional fluctuations, this is probably the time to be passionate. It's a pity that, as I said before, in a universe where the technology tree is distorted at this point, electronic synthesized sounds really only have a stick. As a result, even if General Griffith tried his best, he could not make these words impassioned. Instead, he made Yu Lian next to him feel like he was being publicly executed.

General Griffith didn't care whether Yu Lian was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes on the floor. He said seriously: "It is because of your encouragement that I made up my mind! I must make it The main theme park of robot technology has been created! I also have a dream to see everyone get rid of their confusion and prejudice against technology. I want everyone to understand that robot technology is also a valuable asset and historical accumulation of galactic civilization! As a cultural worker, it is our duty to do so!"

Major Poppas never expected that this big shot from the Iron Army Complex, who had lived for at least a hundred years, would actually be Yu Lian's fanboy. He immediately worshiped the latter like a mountain. Look at his His eyes seemed to be on a pilgrimage.

"I think if it were you, you would understand, right?" General Griffith said again.

Yu Lian still didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze out a smile without any level.

Well, the Pallai tribe has probably been in a mechanical can for so long that they really think of themselves as robots. As a famous cultural scholar of this ethnic group, what General Griffith wants to do now is to dispel the prejudice against intelligent machines in this idealistic universe.

"If you understand robot culture, you will understand the Iron Army Complex. As long as everyone understands each other, there will be no more wars." General Griffith explained to Yu Lian: "I want to create a model Come out. If the world can even accept the concept of mechanical culture, then it should also be able to accept the culture of other races."

He has never mentioned the concept that intelligent machines are also life, and he probably still has some doubts. However, Yu Lian could understand what the other party meant and sincerely praised:

"Well, you are such a good Asa... such a gentle and loyal elder!"

General Griffith's pair of electronic lights began to flicker on and off again. Although there was no other reaction from his body, Yu Lian could feel that the other party was obviously very useful. It was probably hidden in his iron belly. The main body is now bubbling with joy.

As mentioned before, this is an era where there is a considerable degree of vigilance against robots and intelligent AI technology. Of course, there is no such thing as a so-called intelligent robot civilization.

Even though General Griffith has the appearance to be the protagonist in a District 11 carrot movie, in fact, this powerful and domineering steel armor is actually equivalent to the clothes of the Palladium tribe and can be replaced at any time.

Their bodies are actually closer to a round, large caterpillar. Their digestive organs and immune systems look very simple, but they are very adaptable to the environment, and they are quite simplistic. This may be one of the reasons why this race can live forever.

"But again, by next week at the latest, this place will be turned into a battlefield." Yu Liandao: "At that time"

"Yes! It's really nerve-wracking. My main goal is to inspect and coordinate the robot factory. How can I let the war exercise take the spotlight?" General Griffith also had a headache.

Obviously the inspection exercise is the main business, right?

"Forget it, I've decided to go to the ground today." He said.

It's still an electronically synthesized sound, but it's really not very impressive.

"Um...General, we have only completed less than one-third of the detection of the underground factory area!" said the "engineering officer" wearing gray armor.

He paused, then lowered his voice and added: "According to the available intelligence, the empire did not do too detailed a job when relocating and coordinating the factory. There may still be some hidden dangers inside. At least according to our scans , indeed found some traces of automatic mechanical actions..."

"A robot left over from those days?" Major Poppas interjected curiously: "But isn't it almost two hundred years ago?"

"In the ruins of the Enlightened Ones, ancient automatic machines have been discovered that are still in use today. I am afraid it will take hundreds of millions of years to count. Moreover, our most advanced battery life can also last up to one hundred and fifty years. It is understandable that he is over 10 years old." The gray-skinned engineering officer was an honest man, so he answered directly and frankly.

The rumors are true, these giant bugs wrapped in iron armor rarely have any evil intentions.

"Count Salvin is such an honest man! So are you." Yu Lian smiled and said: "How can you make money with a robot that can be used for two hundred years? If it were me, the battery life can only be used for two years at most, and the warranty period is at most It can only last for one year, and then the battery must be replaced. The same goes for the other parts. Just by engaging in parts replacement and authorized maintenance franchises, you can cut countless rounds of leeks."

The "engineering officer"'s mechanical eyes suddenly began to shine. Although he didn't understand what the last leek was, he must have understood the overall meaning: "Oh, I didn't even think of this?"

"This is evil! You fat worm who fell into the Palladium Cave!" General Griffith scolded the other party: "In short, this is never allowed on military robots!"

...meaning that civilian robots are enough? Wait, my casual remark, could it be that it has opened the door to a new world for the robot companies of the Iron Army Complex?

At this time, the commander of Desert Camouflage said: "And we don't have enough mechs. If there is a real potential danger, I can't protect your safety. The empire has also said that you can inspect it, but it is impossible." What kind of support is provided?”

"Do I need your protection?" General Griffith said loudly: "In order to develop robot culture, reaffirm the international image of the Iron Army Federation, and for the dream of all civilized races in the galaxy being able to be as close as one family, we are duty-bound!"

Yu Lian watched them argue quietly from the side, then poured himself a cup of coffee and started drinking it.

General Griffith said to him: "I am going to the underground palace today."

"Oh, oh." Yu Lian nodded.

"Most of the remains of the coordination robot factory are underground, but the specific drawings have not been preserved. It is said that the interior is as complex as a maze. I have to go down in person and record everything inside before I can restore the original appearance in the main park. "

"I wish you good luck." Yu Lian said.

General Griffith sat down a little dejectedly, then picked up a glass of juice with his iron hand and placed it on his chest. The armor there popped open, and a head about the size of a football stuck out. It stretched out a straw like an insect's mouthparts and swallowed the juice in one gulp.

One thing to say is that the round head is actually not as scary as imagined. It has no carapace, no scales, no flagella and extradermal tissue. It only has two pairs of eyes as round as black pearls. In addition, his mouth is dish-shaped. If the needle-like mouthparts are retracted, it will look like a cartoon-like octopus mouth.

Overall, the Palladium man's head is actually 70-80% similar to the Dumbo octopus. It's really not ugly, and it's not ugly at all.

General Griffith put down the juice, looked up at Yu Lian, rubbed his suction cup-like mouth and made a human-like sound:

"You are different from what I imagined." He said helplessly: "Rescue the rivers and lakes, young man! Is this what you people on earth mean when they say the rivers and lakes rescue the emergency? I really didn't know that Sarna planet would be in this situation, but The subordinates I brought here are all useless! Do you understand? I am in urgent need of manpower now!"

Neither the gray engineering officer nor the camouflage commander spoke, perhaps because they were already used to being beaten.

Yu Lian knew that the other party's voice was simulated using spiritual energy, and he immediately became happy, but he still calmly picked up the second glass of juice.

"So, Mr. Chosen Champion, my idol, can you do me a favor?" General Griffith said: "If you are willing to help me this time, I will personally give you a hundred security robots. They are all brand new automation products.”

Yu Lian had to admit that he was a little moved.

"In addition, we will transfer two automated palladium alloy plating production lines to your Hongfeng factory at cost price."

"The Red Maple Factory is not mine. It belongs to everyone." Yu Lian said expressionlessly, but his little heart was already jumping up and down.

There is actually no palladium in the palladium-plated alloy, but the armor made of this combination is like a silver mirror, which can absorb or even reflect energy weapons.

"It doesn't matter whose it is." General Griffith thought for a moment and then said: "In addition, I will try my best to push the general committee to transfer nano repair ship technology to the Blue Star Community. How about this?"

Yu Lian was really a little shocked this time and couldn't help but said: "Is this worth it?"
