The audience in the 369 live broadcast room also sweated for the broadcaster:
[That robot looks like a killing type. Why is it attacking humans like crazy? ]
[Listening to Dr. Yao, is this robot self-aware and out of control? ]
[I came here from another live broadcast room, so it’s better to hide underground. Such low-temperature cyclones appear in many places during the polar night period, and surface creatures instantly turn into ice sculptures. ]
[Has anyone gone to see what's going on with Dr. Yao? Is everything okay in the spaceship? ]
[The temperature inside Dr. Yao’s spaceship is always constant. It’s not as cold outside the cave as the center of the cyclone, but it’s still a land of ice and snow. ]
[The climate of this planet is amazing. It had been so gentle, full of life, and sunny, and suddenly it was pitch black and so cold. ]
[This is better than the situation where one side of some planets is always dark and the other side is always being burned. At least this polar night period is not too long. ]
[Those surface creatures are not adapted to the polar night at all, and are hunted by flying monsters. The climate has changed drastically, and there are not many plants left. Even if the extreme night period only lasts for two or three years, it will probably take a long time before it can regain its vitality. ]
[There is no point in thinking so far ahead. The bloggers and others only need to survive for a few dozen days. It is very simple to return to the spaceship and survive. ]
[How to get back to the spaceship? Will the broadcaster go back to skating? ]
[Don’t talk about how to go back. The liquid robot has condensed again. They need to survive the wave in front of them first. ]
[I see that this robot is not as tall as before. It is just a small ball, not human-shaped. ]
[The poison sac attack may have damaged some of its structure. ]
[I hope this thing can be controlled, Dr. Yao, come on, support remote control! ]
[What are you afraid of? Keep firing with your gun. Use all the poison sacs. If it's not enough, summon the Thousand-legged Giant Centipede to deliver it to your door. ]
Li Sa also thought the same thing. If she couldn't do it, she tricked the nearby giant centipede to come over and hit it first. It took a while and waited for the robot to get smaller and smaller, so its lethality might not be so great.
Unexpectedly, the robot condensed into a human form again, and the shorter robot made a sound: "XXDDAA"
There was a bunch of unintelligible bird singing, but it seemed that it had put away the sharp weapons in its hands and gradually transformed from a human into a ball. It can identify the doubts of these people.
Li Sa was the first to ask the question, and the chicken and the duck exchanged several words.
The liquid robot continued to adjust the syllables it produced, not getting closer, and gradually turned into a rounded ball shape, which seemed to be much gentler than before.
Several other people also felt that the robot was trying to communicate, so everyone talked a lot. Li Sa reminded everyone to speak in Chinese and maintain language consistency.
So, after the liquid robot collected enough language information, it was finally converted into human speech that Li Sa and the others could understand.
"Armistice, please don't destroy me." A cautious expression appeared on the metal ball's face, just like a 3D emoticon pack.
"Why did you attack us?" Li Sa asked.
The metal ball replied: "You are not the masters and do not have their genetic characteristics."
"We are a large human force that came to this planet recently." Li Sa made up nonsense with a sincere face. We have found the spacecraft that fell from space.
"Where is the backup landing ship?" Metal Ball asked.
Li Sa said: "Answer my question first, are there any survivors in the advance team?"
"Sleeping."
"There are only dead people in the dormant cabin of the underground base. There are signs that a small number of advance team members left the base early."
The metal ball was lost in thought, as if it could use some system to detect the conditions of the remaining dormant cabins, and finally said with a sad face: "They are all dead."
"Do the people who left first have any descendants?" Li Sa asked carefully.
Metal Ball said: "I don't know, we lost contact. When I woke up, I found that all the equipment had problems and all the same kind were damaged, so I started the rescue procedure. The backup landing ship can carry people out of here."
Fan Gang asked curiously: "Are there other dormant pioneers in space?"
"Only fertilized eggs."
Li Tianya asked more pragmatically: "Are you the same kind? Do you still have the same kind, and they are all liquid robots?"
"Well, we are responsible for the construction and defense of the base. We should take turns to sleep and recharge, but they are all broken. I am the only one..." At this point, the outer skin of the metal ball simulated a strange expression, like a chaotic Thinking concretely.
Li Sa recalled Dr. Yao's speculation that the liquid robot in front of her might have developed self-awareness. Although it didn't look like a human being, it might actually have capabilities far beyond those of conventional AI auxiliary equipment, and it might have a soul.
"Didn't you destroy those dormant cabins?" Li Sa was unable to perceive the thoughts of silicon-based creations, so he could only use language to deceive.
The metal ball's expression became even more confused, rolling around on the ground. When it encounters areas contaminated by burning gasoline and poison sacs, it will also emit two wails, really like a living thing.
But Li Sa couldn't sense the true thoughts of this thing. Unlike carbon-based intelligent life, it was difficult for her to establish equal trust in this thing. If it weren't for the fear of poison sacs and fire, they might have died long ago, and there wouldn't be any normal peace talks happening now.
Li Sa said: "My partner wants to access you remotely, can you open an access port?"
"The base is broken, it can't be charged, and it can't be remotely controlled." The metal ball tried hard to express.
Li Sa understood that what was behind that door might be equipment and liquid metal robots. They usually took turns waiting there, charging, and patrolling around regularly, but since some kind of disaster, everything had changed.
This metal ball cannot be charged. If its components are continuously lost and damaged, this can be regarded as life-threatening in a sense. Anyway, visual inspection shows that this thing is much smaller than the one when it turned into a machete robot and killed everyone.
Li Sa has no way to contact Yao Feier for the time being, but if contact is lost, how did he summon the spacecraft from space to come down? She asked, "How did you contact the ship?"
The metal ball was lost in thought, and the ball lay stunned on the ground.
It seems like it also has a fragmented memory, or something extremely fragile, making it unable to answer this question. Of course, it may also be to cover up some truth and refuse to answer. After all, its expressions are imitating others, and its language is learned and used now, which has a certain gap with the language and emotional elements it originally mastered.
Li Sa had seen that language on the spaceship. It was very similar to hieroglyphics, or it could be said to be condensed QR codes. Perhaps those in the exploration advance team read relevant information by "scanning codes" instead of identifying individual words.
For advanced civilizations, the efficiency of information conveyed by simple written language is too low. If there is no direct spiritual communication, then it will take a long time to learn and master a knowledge through language, text and pictures.
Li Sa suddenly had an idea and recalled some details of the bones in the damaged dormant cabin. Those people all had a piece of brain damage, and the incision was very round. It might be a bullet hole, or it might be a mark caused by other surgeries.
In the world she is familiar with, brain-computer interfaces are no longer a myth. Some people have already tried to install compatible chips in the human brain. So do these civilized people who explore the universe also have some kind of device similar to a brain-computer interface? So they don't need to be proficient in every technology. They just scan the code from where and retrieve the information when they need it?
Reading information and uploading new knowledge to a larger knowledge base should be two-way operations. Knowledge can be uploaded, so can human thinking consciousness be uploaded somewhere?
Could this metal ball be able to read some information from the "cloud" knowledge base, or even be forcibly downloaded by some other information, so that it becomes the less-than-smart thing it is today?
