Chapter 20: The Petrified City
Angela's appearance is very different from the design of the waiter robot, and if it weren't for her experience on the Liberals Alliance, she would have almost fooled Renault. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Angela, are you a robot?" Renault asked directly.
"Distinguished guest, I am your waitress Angela." As she spoke, Angela blinked her big watery eyes, her long eyelashes were very moving, and even her chest imitated human undulations.
"And what about the people of this city? Miss Angela. ā
Angela paused: "That's not what I can answer, sorry. "Angela's appearance is almost exactly like that of a human, but it is limited to a single restaurant service program. Extremely high IQ and single ability greatly improve the safety of the robot.
"So how long has this restaurant been open?" Renault asked with a different question.
"Our restaurant has a long history, about 3 million years old, and the most delicious whale burger is famous in Dallas and Independence."
It turns out that the ancient city of Yuga in Renault's eyes, whose real name is Dallasga, is even more surprising is that it has a history of 300,000 years of existence, although I don't know what it has to do with Earth Day, but at least it is much older than the current human civilization.
"Is your service here good? Why aren't there a single guest? Carmella asked, looking at the empty and orderly dining room.
"Ding-dong." Angela's eyes project a spatial image, which is a questionnaire. "I'm very sorry, but in the last month, the complaints of our store are 0, the hygiene is full marks, and the turnover is 3600 Yuga. Don't know where the guests have gone? ā
The turnover was not zero, and Renault had a glimmer of hope in his heart: "So what is the situation of the latest consumption?" ā
"Oh, it looks like the guest is from out of town. It's 999 years since Dallas Gas' petrol season, and our turnover is just the energy we recycle from our used bread every month. Angela always had a big smile on her face.
"Yuga? Could it be a coin made of Yuga crystal? "Yuga crystal is 30 times harder than diamond, and cutting requires advanced equipment and smelting into currency, which the New Federation cannot complete.
Angela: "That's right. We have six payment methods, one is Yuga, and the other is ......" Obviously this set is very proficient.
"Forget it, sir, we don't have yuga, we can't eat this meal." Tycos swallowed. Renault shrugged his shoulders, and it seemed that there was only that, and there were no six payment methods for them.
Renault, Tycos, and Carmela stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant. Angela came to the front with a smile on her face, Renault and their non-consumption did not affect the robot's mood in the slightest: "Everyone, please give me a five, and you will get the freshly baked bread on the table for free." ā
Angela had already packed the bread in her hands and handed it to everyone with both hands. How can you not earn a free lunch, the three of them gave a 5 points, picked up the bread, said thank you, and walked out of the restaurant.
"Chief, what does 36 years of petrification mean? It's true that no one has been here for 36 years, but where does the energy of these robots come from? Carmela looked up at the sky, "There's no sun there." ā
This city can run for thousands of years without human existence, and always keep the whole city running in an orderly manner, this kind of fine control human beings can not do at present, in short, all the phenomena show that the civilization here surpasses the existing civilization of mankind.
According to the information map in his mind, Renault decided to enter a residential area, the BA4 Garden Sanctuary Community.
"Be vigilant, evacuate as soon as you notice anything unusual, and then meet at the restaurant." Renault took the Hules laser gun out of his waist and said with a serious expression.
"Boss, why do we have to go to the neighborhood, there are so many shops in this city, I'd rather go there and have a look." Tycos tempered body is completed.
Carmela took the opportunity to sarcastically say, "I think you should go to the brothel first, so as not to complain." ā
This is not surprising to Renault, other places must be the same as restaurants, robots are operating, we must find a living person, there is no doubt that the community is a better choice.
"Less nonsense, let's go."
BA4 Garden Shengjing Community is an inconspicuous low-end community, and the security should be the worst. There are ten buildings in the whole complex, each building is 110 floors, the appearance of the building looks like a spiral slide, and the rooms on each floor can receive the light outside at 360 degrees, of course, not the sun, because there is always only daylight here.
Every 10 floors, there are man-made sky gardens, growing all kinds of trees and flowers, and each window is a green oxygen bar, this design beyond their imagination made Renault and their admiration. It's a paradise on earth for the crowded human buildings, but it's considered the most upscale neighborhood in Dallascar.
The flowers and plants in the community are the same as before, because there is a natural recirculating irrigation system, and all the windows are made of self-cleaning materials.
"Here, here, Tykos smash it." Renault said, pointing to a piece of glass. Tykos stretched out his steeled fist and slammed it into the glass.
There was a "bang" The glass shattered, and the originally clear space, with a burst of energy fluctuations, the originally broken glass grew again, and at the same time, the outer light network of the building flashed with dazzling light.
Streams of super strong electricity flowed through the bodies of the three Renaults, fortunately they were wearing special spacesuits, but the intensity of the voltage was too high, almost breaking through the insulation, and a burning smell came out. The insulation of the spacesuit can withstand at least 100,000 volts of high voltage, but now it is almost impossible to stop it.
As you can imagine, a large number of robots are coming this way, and Renault hurriedly shouted: "Tycos, smash it, force!" ā
"Okay, yes." Tycos threw his fist again, bang. This time it wasn't the sound of glass breaking, and Tycos was stunned, "Head, head, this glass." ā
". Hard! Smash it for me with all the strength of the milk! Renault commanded loudly as he watched vigilantly to see if any robots were coming.
Tycos rounded his fist again and smashed it down again, enough force to knock out a near-ground mech.
"Click" finally the glass shattered again.
Renault was overjoyed: "Hurry in." Renault dragged Carmela by the waist and got inside, and Tycos jumped in as well. As the three of them entered the room, the shattered glass quickly returned to its original state.
"Holy shit, what the hell is this, fix it yourself and resist blows every time. We're in, but how do we get out? "Tycos knew very well that he had used almost all his strength to break the glass just now, and if the strength increased again after regeneration, he would not be able to break it if he wanted to get out.
Renault glanced at it, and several security policemen outside the glass had just arrived, and they looked exactly like real people. The more beautiful the robot, the less powerful it is, and sure enough, a few people grunted for a while, and did not take further action, but contacted other robots.
"Let's go, let's go take a look." It was a good time, and Renault and they slowly walked into the house. The decoration of the house is also very luxurious, and Yuga's tiles cover the floor.
There was a man sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Renault tried to communicate with him, only to find that it was nothing more than a stone statue, with clear, delicate and vivid facial features, and the height and size of an adult earthling.
Renaud reached out and touched the stone man, a granite-like stone. Carmela raised the Hooles laser pistol in her hand and aimed it at the statue's head.
"Carmela, what are you going to do?" Renault stopped Carmela's pistol.
"Chief, aren't you interested in what's inside?" Yes, Renault also wanted to cut open to see what material was inside, but a stone statue that appeared in the house, if the inhabitants of this place were these stone statues, then the consequences of killing them were very serious.
"Let's take a look at the other rooms first, if there are any living people." There was a lot of room, Renault they looked around and found that there were 6 bedrooms, two dining rooms, a living room, as well as a swimming pool and golf course.
In three of the bedrooms, there are three stone statues, actually lying on the bed, and they are wrapped in a quilt. The state is extremely natural, an adult and two children, as if they suddenly encountered some hardship, and instantly turned into stone statues. Once upon a time there was a god named Medusa in human mythology, who was extremely beautiful but had a heart like a femme fatale, and anyone who looked at her eyes would be turned to stone. The scene in front of me was as if I was facing Medusa's curse.
Horror, what would it be like if the whole city was all living here with stone statues. Renault suddenly remembered that when he was in the restaurant, the waiter robot had said that this was the petrochemical period of 999 years, what did it mean, and what happened to this highly civilized city?
"Tycos, carry him away and find a place to study it." Renaud gestured to the stone statue on the couch, "There will be a lot of robots arriving soon, we need to get out of here quickly." ā
"Yes, head." Tycos made a cat waist and put the stone statue quilt on his body, the stone statue is not too heavy, it is not a burden for Iron Man Tycos, the question is where to get out.
According to human habits, there should be a door in a house as a passage in and out, but Renault and his team searched everywhere but did not find the door.
"Holy shit, no door? It's hard to be these people, they don't need a door to enter or exit. "Tycos is ready to use his fists to solve this problem.
"Wait, if you keep fighting, this place will only get stronger and stronger, and it will become our prison." Renault's eyes searched everywhere, and finally the solution to the problem landed on the stone statue.
Perhaps it should be like this, Renault suddenly said: "Tycos, maybe you are right, you should knock down this wall." ā
"Silly big man, it's time for you to demolish the house." Carmela patted Tykos on the back with interest, picked up a grape from the coffee table and put it in her mouth, it was cold and cold, and the temperature of the room was completely different, how did this happen.
