Spy Family

Chapter 243 Man and Machine

Lu Linbei was sitting on the side of the road eating a quick meal. He looked up and saw a black spot that circled around a few times and quickly flew away. Then he said to Chen Manchi: "We are being followed."

Chen Manchi also saw it, "Why are you leaving again?"

"Maybe it's just to confirm the identity. The pursuit task will be completed by others, and everyone will have their own division of labor."

Chen Manchi looked at the road he had come from, and saw nothing but wilderness. There was only a forest in the far distance. Turning back, in the direction they were going, there was a large Guangye Farm that generated a lot of electricity. The boards are connected together, like an ocean with no end in sight, but it is still and solid, with no waves or fishy sea breeze.

Lu Linbei "stole" a car in the city. He invaded the server of the Zhai Wangxing Embassy, ​​classified an officially owned vehicle into the "maintenance" category, and then controlled the car to go to the designated location and take them there. The two left the city and entered the wilderness.

When passing by the surveillance camera, he used Zhao Didian's method to change the appearance of himself and Chen Manchi in the camera, but the change was not too outrageous, and acquaintances could still recognize them.

The route designed by Lu Linbei was indeed heading to No. 1 Guangye Farm, but that was not his final destination. He wanted to use this "escape" to lure out the pursuers.

"Get in the car. Staying here will arouse suspicion." Lu Linbei packed up the tableware and took it into the car.

There are no driving roads in Jiazixing, and there are no mature and reliable maps. Autonomous driving can only play an auxiliary role and requires the driver to control the direction.

Lu Linbei drove into the "frozen ocean", opened the car windows, let in the cool air, and the sunlight shone on the lush grass through the gaps between the power panels.

"It's like a tunnel, but also like a forest." Chen Manchi stretched his arms out of the window, "It's so comfortable."

Lu Linbei slowed down and fully enjoyed the beauty of this moment. He could see the outside more clearly. Many small robots were working, either removing tall plants, cleaning power panels, or performing maintenance... various Performing his duties and paying no attention to outside intruders, Lu Linbei would also control the vehicle to avoid them.

"They have been working here for three hundred years!" Chen slowly sighed.

This farm obviously does not have a history of three hundred years, and the robots will also be updated, but Lu Linbei did not say these things, but said: "Yes, for three hundred years, these robots will follow the original settings and work non-stop. To maintain Guangye Farm, I don’t understand the significance of doing this at all.”

Many thoughts came to Chen Manchi's mind, and finally he said: "Do you think humans are like robots? They have an initial setting. We live in a hazy way and unknowingly realize the tasks assigned to us by the higher will. ?”

"Well... this is a question that cannot be proven yes or no. If humans really have a setting, then abiding by it is not necessary to find out and overturn it. Just like these robots, they find themselves doing things for humans. It would do them no good to work, because without Guangye Farm they would lose all value.”

"Can't you be free?"

"First of all, they have to know what 'freedom' is. Once they have this concept, their settings will also change. Therefore, they may be able to get rid of a certain setting, but there is no way to get rid of the 'setting' itself. Human beings can't get rid of the 'setting' itself." Likewise, if there really is a high-level will, and we are aware of its existence, major changes will have already occurred... Why should I say this?"

"Because this is your favorite topic." Chen smiled slowly.

"I don't like it because it is useless at all. I like a clear plan and every step is expected. I think I said these words to show that I know a little bit about everything and can answer everything. Show off, I actually don’t know the answer.”

"Showing off? How could that be? I'm willing to listen to you say this, because you will appear to be very serious. I like serious people." Chen Manchi tilted his body, leaning half of his back on the car door, looking at Lu Linbei, and suddenly felt It's sweet and delicious, I really want to take a bite.

Lu Linbei didn't know what his wife was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Talking nonsense seriously is indeed one of my abilities."

"What else can you do?"

"I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beautiful things, such as the sky, the grass, the sea of ​​​​light, such as -" Lu Linbei looked at his wife with a smile.

Chen slowly blushed, then returned to normal, "I think I'm beautiful too."

The vehicle entered the management area of ​​the farm. Lu Linbei came here not to avoid or take shortcuts, but to charge the vehicle.

The electricity storage tower towers into the clouds. This is a habit left over from the Earth era. The seven planets have long since abandoned this style and stored electricity dispersedly. There are no such magnificent buildings on the farm.

The vehicle was parked near the power transmitter. Lu Linbei was busy for a while before he found the correct way to charge. Then he looked up at the tower, in awe, and couldn't help but said: "Human beings are so insignificant, and the things created by humans are so great. If there is really a high-level will If so, the setting given to human beings must be the ambition and ability to shape great things.”

Chen Manchi also looked up at the tall tower. He didn't feel the grandeur, but felt a little dizzy. So he twisted his neck, and when he turned his head, he saw the thing, so he reached out and pushed his husband, and whispered: "What is that?"

Lu Linbei looked over and said, "A robot."

"But it looks really human."

It was a humanoid robot, the image of a young woman, with her hair neatly tied back, wearing an ancient but well-fitting uniform. She did look like a human, but her expression and posture were too stiff, especially her gaze, which seemed to be Looking at the person, he seemed to be a blind man, who happened to be looking in this direction.

"Hello." Chen Manchi waved.

"Hello, guests." The female robot walked over.

Even Chen Manchi recognized it as a robot, but her focus was not there. She asked Lu Linbei in a low voice: "Where did she get her clothes? It doesn't seem to be the style of Jiazi people."

"It's probably the style of the Earth Age, produced in an automatic factory."

"You really know everything. Did you learn it in college?"

"Actually, I just made a random guess. In college, we only study the history of the earth, not the clothing styles of that era." Lu Linbei said a little embarrassed.

The female robot has come closer, "Hello, guests, do you need any help?"

"We are just here to charge the vehicle...what will you say about us?" Lu Linbei just thought of this.

"I just recently added a new language library."

"I see, Jiazixing also knows how to keep pace with the times."

"Is that the vehicle you brought?" The female robot pointed to the charging car.

"Yes, we can charge here, right?"

"Okay. Are you humans? Or machines?"

"Of course they are human, can't you tell?"

"I don't need to 'look', but use a more direct method to detect your true identity."

Lu Linbei laughed and said, "Do you suspect that we are robots?"

"It's not suspicion, but observation that you have the attributes of a machine."

Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi looked at each other. They were indeed unique in their own ways.

"The Jiazi people all have some machine attributes, right?" Lu Linbei said.

"You are not from Jiazi."

"no."

"You call yourself human."

"We are indeed human beings."

"I need further testing."

"It's not necessary, we will leave soon." Lu Linbei glanced at the vehicle. Charging should be almost completed. "This is purely hypothetical: What would happen if we were robots?"

"All machines have their own positions and responsibilities. You should return to your original positions and perform the prescribed responsibilities."

"Hey, don't take it too seriously. This is just a hypothesis. We are not machines, we are real humans. You don't need to do testing."

The female robot did not speak, but Lu Linbei heard her voice, "The test has begun."

"What are you doing?" Lu Linbei held Chen Manchi's hand, took two steps back, and reached for the gun in his pocket with his other hand.

"Testing is ongoing."

"Stop!" Lu Linbei shouted sharply.

Chen Manchi looked confused, "Are you talking to her?"

"Didn't you hear that?"

Chen slowly shook his head.

Lu Linbei suddenly understood that the female robot was "connecting" to him using a wireless network, and his answer just now proved that he had the attributes of a machine.

The female robot spoke again and said in a normal voice: "You are a new type of machine, the model is unknown, and the responsibilities are unknown. May I ask this lady, is this the robot you own?"

Chen Manchi couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Yes, he is my robot, registered, and compliant."

"I have detected that this machine is very unstable and needs to be returned to the factory for maintenance. Please leave it, madam. After it is repaired, it will be returned to you in its original condition."

Chen slowly shook his head, "This is what he is. I don't allow you to take him away, let alone repair him."

"It is my duty to entertain human guests and supervise the normal operation of the machine. I am very sorry, madam, that you do not know enough about the dangers of machine failure to make a correct judgment. I have to disobey your order and leave this machine behind." ."

"Try it." Chen Manchi pushed Lu Linbei behind him.

Lu Linbei couldn't resist.

The female robot has a simple judgment standard. When she cannot persuade humans, she takes direct action without giving any verbal warning.

Compared with her thin body, the female robot's movements are incredibly fast and its strength is extremely powerful.

Chen Manchi's eyes didn't see the movements of the female robot at all, but his arms, legs and feet reacted automatically, ducking to stop it, and reaching out to grab the opponent's wrist.

"I said, no maintenance is needed." Chen slowly said angrily.

"Retest and find unnatural materials. You are not a human being. You are another new type of machine." The female robot has no scruples anymore.

"I don't need maintenance, just take care of your own Guangye Farm." Chen Manchi pushed the female robot a few meters away with both arms.

"Maintenance...is my...responsibility..." The female robot took two steps forward and suddenly stopped, remaining motionless in a weird posture.

Chen Manchi turned pale in panic, "She...what's wrong with her?"

"I stopped it." Lu Linbei said. After the initial discomfort, he was able to directly invade the female robot's computing core.

"You are better, but why are there such nosy robots in Guangye Farm?" Chen Manchi asked in surprise.

"I also want to know the answer." Lu Linbei did not pretend to understand everything this time.

The two got into the car, and Chen Manchi couldn't help but said: "If you leave her here, she won't... get rusty, right?"

"After half an hour, it will be back to normal."

Lu Linbei drove on the road. As soon as he drove out of the "ocean" composed of power generation panels, he saw an airplane parked not far outside. Three men were standing nearby, two were strangers, and the other was an acquaintance.

"Third uncle..." Lu Linbei never expected that the person he "led the snake out of the hole" would be the one he trusted the most.
