what happened? A question came to Rick's mind.
Have I been kidnapped? Being planted by a machine? Rick quickly established the facts before him.
The surrounding area is surrounded by some irregular and messy rocks. In this cracked land, there are many places like this. It only takes a few stray bullets that are enough to lift the land. However, Rick can be sure that there are dozens of kilometers around the settlement. There is no such place.
The mechanical girl, let’s call her a girl for now, spoke in plain and direct language:
"Question, no reproductive excitement has been detected, and it is an error in speculation that humans will have impulses in this sentence pattern?"
"...Where on earth did you get such information?"
"Seven hundred and eighty-three days of observation of human settlements, detecting and recording language from the reproductive process."
Rick, who didn't expect to get a reply, unexpectedly got a reply from the mechanical girl.
It turns out that some couples in the settlement like to play this kind of thing, this is the first reaction in Rick's mind.
Wait - Rick suddenly realized, what the other party just said was the 783rd day of observation of human settlements? In other words, since at least two years ago or even longer, humans have actually been targeted by the mechanical species, and they are secretly observed like they are observing animals that have been completely transformed?
So what is the purpose of his desperate efforts to cover up the existence of the human race in the past few years! What are the people who died because of this?
"Confirmed, the subject's heartbeat is accelerated, the body temperature is rising, and the reproductive organs are unresponsive, which is inconsistent with the reproductive records."
The cold voice of the mechanical girl was like a plate of cold water poured on Rick's head.
Now is not the time to dwell on the past. Now that the settlement has Master Shen, there is hope, and what he has to do now is to take this information back alive.
"Please tell me...what do you do for a living?"
Rick asked - if he had met this girl before, dying alone and silently would have been the best option to cover up human traces, but now it was completely different.
From the beginning, the other party has been speaking human language. Combined with what she said, and after observing human beings for so long, Rick has already made some guesses. This appearance is likely to be related to what the settlement has been doing these days. The biggest changes that have taken place are related.
"Answer, I want to explain the unique language used by humans." Without any hesitation, the mechanical girl answered.
"...unique language?"
Rick repeated it, a little surprised that he didn't hear any sentence patterns about Master Shen.
cheat? Or something else? I have never heard of the mechanical race as having the habit of deceiving others.
"Confirm, the unique language named 'heart' by humans." The mechanical girl nodded mechanically, confirmed and added her answer, "The unique language named 'heart' is most commonly used in individual reproductive behaviors. The use is a special language that conveys information through skin tissue contact. It is judged to be a communication method that the machine species lacks. It is speculated that as long as it imitates reproductive behavior, this machine can also read and understand the unique language of the 'heart'."
...heart?
The mechanical girl explained in great detail, and the chaotic thoughts in Rick's mind gradually became clear.
For some unknown reason, human beings are continuously observed by mechanical species for some purpose, and try to explain some unique emotions among human races, called "heart" emotions. From the brief negotiation just now, Rick can roughly understand the language and emotions. From the action, I felt that the machine race is a race that does not have such a thing as "emotions".
So what should be done at this time is to extract the necessary information and try to bring it back alive as much as possible.
"The mechanical species are connected together through something called a connector. This method of being able to connect regardless of the distance is obviously more convenient than the unique language of the human heart."
"Negative, connecting body and 'heart' are completely different ways of communicating information. This machine wants to analyze whether the machine species has a 'heart', 'self', and 'soul'."
--it is as expected.
Rick's heart accelerated slightly. The mechanical species, just like its name, although it has great strength, has always relied on a "rigid" thinking like a machine to survive. In other words, he can be bold Ask questions without worrying about being lied to or induced.
Maybe you can also rely on the advantage of "heart" to induce the other party in turn.
"Are you the only one who wants to understand the human heart, or do all the machines want to understand it? Through the connector, the information between you is completely shared."
"Negative, this machine has been disconnected by the connector. The reason is that many errors occurred due to theoretical loopholes, and it is judged to be irreparable."
--right! That's the information.
Rick was already a little excited in his heart. He had been thinking since just now, if the entire mechanical species is watching humans, why do they need to tie him so far away? This is undoubtedly to prevent Master Shen from chasing him. , as for the mechanical race, he once found relevant information in the wreckage of some war relics. Although the individual strength is not as good as other more powerful races, but as long as they are gathered together, they will not be afraid of any individual!
Combining this information, it is not difficult to deduce that the only one observing humans is the mechanical species in front of them, because she is broken.
"You want to know your 'heart', right?" Rick suddenly felt relaxed, "Everyone's 'heart' is different. If you want to have your own 'heart', it's not enough to just observe me. You need to Go and observe everyone in the settlement.”
As long as he returns to the settlement, Master Shen, whose strength is comparable to that of the divine species, can naturally capture him easily. Compared with the goblin species map obtained today, an independent mechanical species is undoubtedly more valuable in terms of information. If Can we bring this guy back...
"Confirmed, the subject's physiological index is normal and he is not lying." Unexpectedly, the mechanical girl looked a little shaken, "Deny, there is an unanalyzable existence in the human settlement, it is judged that the risk is extremely high, deny, the analysis of 'heart' Need to go to human settlements...calculation error, inability to compare program values, calculation error, error..."
Hey, it's smoking!
Rick stared blankly at the mechanical girl who seemed to be in a sluggish state and kept repeating "mistakes".
Are you dying because you can't decide who is more important, the value of your heart or the dangers faced by human settlements? You have important information, nothing can happen to you!
...
Shen Fu's attention has been focused on the two people over there.
Although it is a voyeur, there is no need to worry about seeing any disharmonious scenes. After all, the mechanical race does not rely on biological behavior to reproduce, so even though it looks like a young girl, it is still mechanical in nature and has no holes.
