star hunter

Xi Kai didn't think about it for too long this time. Not long after Xi Lin's "Return" forum was established, Xi Kai contacted Xi Lin.

The agreed place is in the "disappeared" area of ​​Black Viper, but it is a bit far away from the central area. There is an asteroid almost covered with electronic equipment and mechanical structures, and this asteroid is Xi Kai, or in other words, Xi Kai

The home base.

When Xilin approached the asteroid, he felt a strong mechanical signal. It gave Xilin a strange feeling. It was somewhat similar to Sigma, but it was very different.

"There is a large intelligent control center here, which controls almost the entire planet." Gray Cat did not continue to "quarrel" in the forum. This planet made Gray Cat feel very special, even friendly.

In other words, that intelligence knows who is here now and shows emotions.

Yes, emotions. Different from the rigid emotions of other robots, such emotions are more like those displayed by humans, just like the "original state" standard mentioned by Shi Kai.

Most of the entire electronic star is mechanical, and there are only some people related to the Xi family.

"Welcome here, dear friends." A voice sounded.

This voice was transmitted through the communication system on the aircraft driven by Xilin. It was very gentle, like a kind old man speaking with a smile.

"Who are you?" the gray cat asked.

"My name is Chip, and I heard from Xi Kai that you know Sigma."

"Huh? Do you know Sigma too?" The gray cat raised its tail. He tilted his head and looked around. He didn't see any robots similar to Sigma. But the owner of this voice made the gray cat feel like Sigma, quite similar.

"We are old friends. You can say that Sigma and I are brothers."

"Are you one of those five original robots?" Xilin asked.

"Yes."

Following the instructions displayed on the screen, the aircraft flew into a fortress surrounded by mechanical equipment. This fortress was like the center of a "spider web" with other mechanical bodies distributed around this fortress.

After entering the fortress, Xilin saw Xi Kai waiting there. There were also two unknown people, who should be members of the Xi family. Except for these people, the others were all robots, robots that looked similar to humans.

.

Since Xi Kai was able to invite Xilin here, it also shows his sincerity this time. Not even the top executives of Black Viper have been to this electronic star.

"Where's Chip?" The gray cat looked around and asked impatiently.

Xi Kai smiled and said, "Follow me."

Signaling others not to follow, Xi Kai led Xilin and Gray Cat to a large place inside the fortress. During the process, Xilin discovered that there were many access control, but there was no need to swipe a card or identity verification, the door would open automatically.

.As Gray Cat said, everything here is controlled by an intelligent center.

Arriving at this venue, the door opened automatically. Xilin followed Xi Kai and walked in. What caught his eye was a huge mechanical body with intricate circuit boards and connecting wires distributed everywhere. And somewhere above, there was a flashing

Round screen of light.

As Xilin and the others approached, the circular screen moved down until it was eye level with Xilin and the others. A human face, an old man's face, was displayed on the screen.

"Nice to meet you."

"Are you Chip?!" The gray cat squatting on Xilin's shoulder stood up and looked carefully at the face on the circular screen, "Why doesn't Sigma have a face?"

"It has it." The circular screen showed Sigma's iconic flashing blue light bar "face", "This is it."

"Then why are you like this?" The gray cat raised its paw and pointed at the old face. "It feels very incongruous."

Xi Kai next to him smiled bitterly. It was not only incongruous, but there was nothing he could do about it. If it weren't for the remedial measures taken later, even Chip would be gone.

Xi Kai didn't say much this time. It was mainly Chip who explained Xilin's doubts. He talked about the origins of the five robots and some things that happened after that.

The five robots are just as Xilin thought. When the ancestors of the Xi family came over, they accidentally discovered a substance that could be used as a brain complex for robots, and developed these five original robots.

Something happened later. When they came over, they encountered a rebel rebellion in the empire. Most of the people and robots died. Only a few survived and met Lansa Freeman, who was excluded at that time. Freeman

Provide them with shelter, and at the same time, jointly develop a batch of intelligent combat robots.

Since then, the few remaining Xi family members and four original robots have signed an agreement with Emperor Lansa, and then, an organization - Black Viper - has appeared in the empire.

This is the same thing that every head of the Xi family knows. Xi Kai also knows this. However, there is one thing he doesn't know, that is, when he met Freeman, there were only four robots! As for why, everyone

The answer has not yet been found. There are many things that are still a mystery so far.

Xilin also realized this problem, "When I met His Highness Freeman, why were there only four original robots?"

Chip paused and sighed: "Later, the master erased a certain memory of ours. We don't know what that memory was. The only thing I remember is that the master said it was to protect the Xi family."

"The robot that disappeared was..."

"That's Sigma." Chip replied.

Xilin lowered his eyes. If it was Sigma, the memory that was cleared should be about sending Sigma from here to the Star Alliance. Moreover, the people of the Xi family concealed the technology they knew and passed through the two

The technology of the big galaxy!

"So, I want to ask, where did you see Sigma? Maybe these are about the erased memory." Chip asked eagerly. It has been wondering for nearly a thousand years, and finally heard it.

Regarding Sigma, as soon as Xikai told it, it made Xikai agree to Xilin's request.

Xilin originally came here to prepare for a showdown, but who knew that this guy didn't know that the Xi family was not from the Lansa Empire. In other words, they originally knew it, but their memory was erased later.

Seeing Xilin's hesitation, Chip added: "Not all the original robots that had their memories erased back then. I don't know if Sigma has had his memories erased, but Ah Yue certainly hasn't. Among the five of us, Sigma is the most

Simple, and Ah Yue is the best at pretending to be stupid. I only found out later that Ah Yue’s memory was not erased like the rest of us.”

Ah Yue was not one of the two abandoned original robots, but it was in a special state very early on.

In order to understand that kind of brain complex material, the descendants of the Xi family destroyed two original robots. Qip was also almost destroyed. If not for the later remedies, Qip would not have become

In this way, after Qipu's accident, Ayue entered a forced dormancy period, and no one could wake him up. Moreover, Qipu no longer allowed the younger generations of the Xi family to use Ayue for research. Even if it never happened again,

They can't build an original robot, and they won't be allowed to destroy Ah Yue.

Before Ah Yue entered forced hibernation, he had some chats with Chip. Only then did Chip realize that Ah Yue knew much more than they did. It was precisely because he could pretend to be stupid that he could keep more secrets and let them know more.

The master felt free to tell him the secret.

Even the Xi family could not force Ah Yue to be taken out for research. Many people tried to awaken Ah Yue, but to no avail, including Qip himself. Ah Yue seemed to have closed himself off, unwilling to talk to the outside world.

Contact. Unwilling to communicate with the outside world.

"Where is Ah Yue?" Xilin asked.

"Ah Yue has been in forced dormancy for more than seven hundred years."

Following Chip's voice, a light screen appeared in front of Xilin and the others. A robot similar to Sigma was displayed on the light screen, but it was lying there quietly without any reaction.

Xilin was thinking about whether to try to wake Ah Yue up, maybe he could learn from it the technology that was hidden back then, but his thoughts were interrupted by Xi Kai.

What Xi Kai is most concerned about is not what the disappeared Sigma did back then, but how to create the original robot. And he doesn't think Xilin can wake up Ah Yue.

"Xilin, do you think the original robot can be restructured?" Xi Kai asked.

Xilin frowned and looked at Chip's huge body and said, "I want to know what the brain complex you mentioned before is?"

Xi Kai shook his head, "I also said that we haven't figured this out for nearly a thousand years. The original robots who sacrificed two and a half only knew part of it."

Xi Kai nodded towards Chip, and an image appeared on the light screen. This was a spherical crystal, not a real sphere. It had a core, and then countless branches extended from this core. Each branch

They are all strangely shaped and very complicated fine crystal columns. These fine crystal columns are like covering the core with a thick layer of "fuzz".

Seeing this image, Xilin's face twitched, and the gray cat also shook his beard.

Sensing the strange reactions of Xilin and Gray Cat, Xi Kai was suddenly startled, "Xilin, have you seen this?!"

Xilin is distressed, what should I say? How could it be like this!

"I have seen it by chance before, but this substance has been consumed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it again."

"Consumed by...?" Xi Kai felt that his newly boiling blood had cooled down, and then asked: "Was it used on robots? Where are those robots?"

Xilin shook his head and said nothing. The gray cat looked at Xi Kai in a bad way, full of hostility. He had already destroyed two and a half original robots, and now he still wants to pay attention to Xi Ying?!

What Xilin is worried about now is that if it is true as Xi Kai said, Xiying's thinking will be wider than he expected. After leaving the Star Alliance for so long, will Xiying go astray now?

Development? If he develops in a wrong way, it is very likely to set off a robot storm.

Xikai was about to continue asking, but was stopped by Kip. The hostility shown by the gray cat may not be clear to Xikai, but Kip was very profound, so it changed the topic.

"If you want to know more, you can try to wake up Ah Yue. If you can't wake up, we can't help much."

Xilin nodded, let's give it a try, we can only start with it.

Chip opened the door of the warehouse, and inside was A Yue who was forced to sleep.

At first glance, it looks similar to Sigma, but the color is a little different from Sigma. Other than that, there is not much difference.

Unlike humans, humans can still feel the breath of life while sleeping, but such robots stay here quietly like antiques that have been hidden from the world, without any life.

"Ayue, I brought two friends here, and they said they had seen Sigma." Chip's voice sounded, full of emotion.

Hundreds of years have passed, and now only Chip is guarding this place among the five brothers. The other four have been destroyed, disappeared, and dormant. Even though they are not real people, their thoughts and emotions are the same as those of human beings.

It’s almost the same, I’ll be sentimental and nostalgic, but what’s settled over the years is more helplessness.

After Qip finished speaking, Ah Yue had no reaction, just like before.

Xi Kai watched from the side, he still had no hope. If it was possible, the Xi family would have awakened it long ago, so why wait until now. Ah Yue seemed to be refusing to open it, refusing anyone.

Xi Kai has always wondered whether the ancestors frightened the original robot when it was used for research, so it closed itself off. Are robots' emotions so fragile?

After Xilin looked at it, he didn't say anything. Instead, he flicked the gray cat's ears and nodded his chin towards Ah Yue.

The gray cat jumped off Xilin's shoulder, walked around Ah Yue, then ran to Ah Yue's head, raised his paws and patted her, touching here and looking there.

This is a silent conversation process, completely communicated in mechanical language, just like the mechanical language used by the gray cat when he communicated with Sigma.

Although it was silent, Xi Kai could feel it a little bit, but could not fully understand it, while Chip's eyes on his old face became brighter and brighter, with some complicated emotions flashing from time to time.

Gray Cat was talking to Ah Yue, speaking in a specific mechanical language, talking about Sigma, but he didn't mention that they came from the Covenant at all, because Chip could understand it, so at least not yet.

Talk too much.

As the gray cat talked more, Chip felt that Ah Yue was beginning to send weak information feedback, but it was all directed towards the gray cat, so he didn't know what information Ah Yue was feeding back.

After the weak feedback information, the mechanical signal began to strengthen, and even Xi Kai could feel that the long-dormant robot was slowly "alive".

When the blue light flashed, Xilin knew that the gray cat had succeeded. Sure enough, whether it is a human or a robot, it needs to be moved with emotion and reason, otherwise it will continue to act stupid.

Don't know anything.

The blue light band gradually intensified. After changing a few times, Ah Yue suddenly turned over and retreated several meters away, and then a childish voice, full of doubts and horror: "You...who are you?!"

Chip's old face on the circular screen froze. Ah Yue was pretending to be stupid again.
