Continued Love - Chap 23

Chap 23
Little Robot

The efficiency of the machine to transport items is very fast. Because the Empire planet is connected to many planets with transportation channels, it is not too unusual. Generally, the order is placed the night before and it can be delivered the next morning.

Cheng Jin rarely bought a bunch of ingredients for a big price, including beautiful and delicious red sausage, fresh fish, and green vegetables. He started cooking the soup in the morning, but when the soup smelled, the first guest he waited for was not his elder brother, but Ai Xue Rigel. He was blond, and when he walked in, it was as if the sun was still lying on top of his head, and his golden hair was a little shining, reflecting his beauty. He didn’t come empty-handed, and seeing that his not very strong arm actually carried a very large box, if the door was wide enough, he couldn’t even get it in.

Cheng Jin was dumbfounded, and asked, “What are you…what did you bring?”

“Gift.” The beautiful man smiled like a spring breeze. “It is a thank-you gift prepared by our family. After all, the Admiral saved my life. My family is very grateful. I originally wanted to thank him personally, but I’m afraid to disturb you, so I came alone.”

Cheng Jin was still extremely astonished, looking at the box in front of him that could almost fit him in, and whispered, “Well, you don’t need to take that much.”

Ai Xue glanced at Lu Tao who was standing next to him, and said with a chuckle: “He said you like to open gifts.”

When Cheng Jin heard these words, his face suddenly turned red. He felt that his image might be a little bad, and he didn’t want to blame her husband, so he could only thank him. He wanted to move the box in a little bit, but it took a lot of effort to reluctantly hold it up. He wanted to move but couldn’t do it. When he was in a hurry, Lu Tao reached out and took the box, lightly acting, “It’s heavy I’ll take it.”

“Your strength is really great…” Cheng Jin sighed, and hurriedly greeted the guests, “Please sit down, what would you like to drink? I have tea and coffee. I also made a little hot cocoa. Would you like a cup? ?”

“Then hot cocoa, and double the sugar for me, thank you.” Ai Xue started to visit their house with great interest, and she said some praise from time to time as she watched it. Cheng Cheng’s little robot probably saw the handsome guy, and his sliding speed was faster than usual. He even stopped after a drift in front of Ai Xue. When he served the hot cocoa, his eyes were constantly in position. Flash, “Mr. Beauty, please use a drink. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheng Cheng. I am the host’s favorite little robot. I am good at cleaning. I like to clean up the dust in the room while listening to music. The singer is Tim…”

Obviously, its words did not arouse Ai Xue’s disgust. The beautiful man listened with particular interest and even chatted with it, “I also like Tim, and I like his song “Dancing in a skirt” “The Robot”, that song is really beautiful.”

“Wow, me too! I like this one the most!”

“…”

Seeing Ai Xue chatting with the robot enthusiastically, Cheng Jin hurriedly got into the kitchen. After a while, the admiral also walked in, looking unhappy. Cheng Jin wondered: “What’s the matter?”

“The robot betrayed me!” Lu Tao gritted his teeth a bit.

Cheng Jin laughed happily, “It has always been like this, and it can’t move when it sees a handsome guy, but it’s still like you the most.”

Lu Tao was obviously not comforted by his lack of logic, but raised his eyebrows, “Why do you say so?”

Cheng Jin sprinkled some ingredients into the soup and said: “Cheng Cheng is the first and last generation of emotional robots.” The existence of robots is actually inevitable. Technology is to make humans more comfortable and longer life. However, when the progress is reached to a point, robots that can replace most of the human labor force will be produced. Whether or not to give robots human emotions has been disputed by many parties.

Some people think that robots are just tools to do various things instead of humans. They only need to complete procedural tasks and do not need any emotions. Others feel that only when robots have human emotions can they understand humans better and do things more in line with people’s wishes. In the end, the latter group of people won the victory. The newly produced robot joined the human emotion program. There was even an inventor who created a kind of “family bond”, that is, in the robot program, adding a little bit extracted from the owner’s body. The genes come out, so that the robot’s emotions are subtly linked to the owner.

When this invention was invented, the inventor became famous for a while. At that time, many wealthy people thought this kind of robot was very interesting, so they placed an order at a high price.

“My family also placed an order. I was the one who chose to pick it up, so Cheng Cheng has similar preferences to me.” Cheng Jin said that his face was a little red, “I like you the most, and of course he also likes you the most. When he saw you for the first time, he was more intimate than my little master.”

Lu Tao thought it was funny, “Is that so” Suddenly he narrowed his eyes dangerously, “So, do you like handsome guys too?”

Cheng Jin quickly shook his head and waved his hand, “i don’t, I only like you.”

The Admiral was satisfied with this, but he was also questioning, “Why is it the last generation? I have read a lot of materials, and I have seen the evolutionary history of robots briefly, but I haven’t seen this paragraph.”

“Because it’s a banned past, if you don’t have memory loss, you must know it. It was a lot of trouble at the time.” Cheng Jin was very happy to see Lu Tao listening carefully, so he said in more detail. I was not very young at that time. I still listened to my brother. The inventor took a total of 30 orders and made 30 robots with emotions similar to those of the owner. One of them failed.”

“What’s the problem?”

“I heard that on a certain night, the little robot that was originally just a household killed all its owners, and only the owner who had the same genes as him was still alive.”

Lu Tao’s eyes widened, and Cheng Jin said, “Isn’t it scary? When it was reported by the media, it caused heated discussions on all the planets. It should have been a lot of trouble at the time, but I am not sure. I only asked my brother, Why does that robot kill people? Isn’t it just a household robot? If robots can kill people, is Cheng Cheng unsafe.” Cheng Jin was a little embarrassed at this point. It took several days for my brother to make it clear to me. He said that the killing robot did this because it heard the strong desire in the owner’s heart, and it was manipulated by emotions. The reason why the owner wants the whole family to die is because of the abuse by his stepmother and the neglect of other family members.”

“But the little master later denied that he had the intention of killing the whole family. He only said that he was indeed abused and wanted to escape from this home. He didn’t understand why the robot did that. Later, the robot was disassembled and analyzed and invented. My home was probably monitored. Most of the previous 30 orders were refunded, and some robots that were completed were destroyed. Cheng Cheng also thought that he would be finished at that time, and his mood was very depressed every day. He doesn’t cry, but he looks very sad.” Cheng Jin was guilty, “My brother kept it.”

After Lu Tao listened carefully, he could actually explain his doubts, “The reason why this incident is so violent is because there have been rumors that robots will replace humans sooner or later, because their abilities are very powerful, in some respects. , Human beings can’t compare with their all-out efforts. With this opportunity, the opposition’s voice will naturally be louder.” He added: “Listening to you, I now understand why the empire planet is restraining robots. I’ve seen incomplete information before, and I feel that this turning point is a bit abrupt.”

I never understand or think about things that are too profound. Now I hear that I have helped Lu Tao solve the puzzles, and I just feel happy. The soup is ready, just simmer it over a small fire, he poured out a little, and handed it to Lu Tao, “You taste it, is it good?”

As soon as Lu Tao took it over, Ai Xue’s voice rang out from the kitchen door, “The husband and wife are hiding here to eat delicious food, and leave me a visitor who came to visit. Is this really good?”

Cheng Jin felt embarrassed and said quickly: “I just let my husband taste it, Mr. Regal, would you like to have a bowl too?”

Ignoring the eye knives that the old partner flew over, Ai Xue smiled lightly and happily: “Of course I want a bowl.”

Cheng Jin filled him with a bowl of soup, and the doorbell rang. He guessed that his elder brother had arrived. He didn’t even pick up his apron, so he hurried to open the door. Ai Xue saw his movements, raised her eyebrows, and asked, “Who is here? Is it possible that he is so excited…”

Lu Tao said with a cold face, “His brother.”

Ai Xue smirked, “I originally wanted to guess that it was his brother, hey, old man, what do you look like? Why is it that I want to grab someone from you? But then again, you never mentioned him before. My partner’s affairs rarely come back, making me think that your relationship is at odds.”

Although he probably understood that the way he and Cheng Jin used to get along was not what he thought he used to, Lu Tao was still startled and asked softly, “Never mention it?”

Ai Xue shrugged, “Yes, I have been with you for three years, and I have never seen Xiao Jin. Isn’t that very telling?” He said again, “But maybe I am not worthy. After all, Mr. Moss knows him. It belongs to your partner, and Ferri knows it too.”

Lu Tao obviously cares more about another thing, “Xiao Jin?”

“It doesn’t seem like a life.” Ai Xue smiled happily, drank the soup in the bowl, and said: “Let’s go, and meet your eldest brother. By the way, we also know him.” Walking out, his usual soft expression has been restored on his face. Lu Tao followed in his footsteps.

The two walked to the living room. They thought they would only see Cheng Xu coming alone, but they didn’t expect that there was another person next to him.

The man was tall and should be more than 1.9 meters tall. When he stood, he looked like a small mountain in front of him, but his facial features were handsome in contrast to his body, and he was not at all inferior to Ai Xue’s beauty. His eyes are green, his eyelashes are long and thick, and there is a smile at the corner of his mouth, with a look of affection. He seemed a little surprised when he saw Ai Xue, “Brother Xue, long time no see.”

Ai Xue Rigel was obviously more surprised than him. After a moment, he said: “Little Qi…cousin?”
