Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Daniel

This is Bailey's third time aboard a spaceship.The scenes of the first two spaceflights are still vivid.He knew that he would be sterilized all over his body, put on the clothes sterilized by the aliens, and then be completely isolated. It was an Aurora ship, much more spectacular than the Solaria ship he had been on last time.There are also more cabins in the spaceship. After a complex full-body disinfection, Bailey put on the clothes prepared for him.The material is smooth and glistening, changing colors at different angles. He asked the robot that followed him into the spaceship: "Man, is this a thermostatic suit?"

The robot replied, "Yes, sir. These are all-weather clothes. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. They are comfortable to wear, but they are expensive. Even in Aurora, only a few high-ranking officials are qualified to wear them." "Really? God!" He took a look at the robot, and saw that it was a low-level robot, similar to those on Earth.But there was a certain indescribably subtle expression on the robot's face that the earth robots didn't have.Its expression can also change slightly.He smiled a bit as he introduced the all-weather clothes to Bailey. The body of the robot is made of metal, but it looks like it is woven, and it moves with the movement of the body, and its color contrast is also pleasing to the eye.Although he doesn't look like a humanoid robot, the robot appears to be wearing clothes.

"What do I call you, man?" Bailey asked. "My name is Giscart, sir." "R. Guiscart?" "You may call me that, sir, if you think fit." "Is there a library on board?" "Yes, sir." "Bring me some movie books about Aurora." "Which book?" "History—politics—geography—any other subject that will make me understand Aurora." "Okay, sir." The robot went out.The doors are double.Bailey stepped forward and tried the doorknob. It was locked.This was completely within his expectations. He surveyed his cabin.There is a superwave TV screen in the room.He pressed a button casually, and music sounded in the room immediately.He kept the volume down as much as possible.The symphony played seemed a little out of tune.Bailey shook his head resignedly.

At this time, he heard the door opening behind him.He turned around, thinking Giscart was back with the movie book.But it was not Giscart who came.The man he saw was primly dressed, with high cheekbones and bronze hair pulled back. "My God!" said Baley, gasping for breath with astonishment. "Friend Ilya," said the visitor, coming forward with a faint smile on his face. "Daniel!" Bailey stretched out his arms and hugged the robot tightly. "Daniel!" "Long time no see, Daniel," Bailey said, slowly letting go of his arms. "Yes, friend Ilya. Nice to meet you!"

"You have feelings too?" "I can't say that I have human-like emotions, Ilya friend. I can only say that my mind is more fluid and my body feels lighter when I see you. This feeling may be equivalent to your human's 'happy' emotion." !" "Why are you on board too?" "Dr. Fastolfer sent me on board to fetch you for several reasons. First, it will give you the company of a familiar friend. Second, it will make me feel 'happy' to see an old friend, if I So to speak. But most importantly—" At this moment the door opened again and R. Guiscart entered.

Bailey didn't like R. Giscart very much, because he looked exactly like an ordinary robot. "What's the matter, man?" Bailey asked impatiently. R. Giscart said: "I brought the movie book you asked for" "Okay, put it down, you can go out." "Okay, sir," the robot turned its head to Daniel, as if asking for his superior's approval. R. Daniel said calmly, "Stand outside the door, my friend Guiscart." "Okay, friend Daniel." With that, R. Guiscart walked out. "Why did he stand outside the door, Daniel?"

"This is an order from Dr. Fastolfer, friend Ilya. Giscart's mission is to protect you." "Protect me? Why? Who will come to murder me?" "Don't know. But since the Yandell Parnell case—" "Yandre Parnell?" "It's a robot that was destroyed." "Let's just put it this way. That robot named Yandell Parnell was 'murdered.' He was murdered by a human, wasn't it?" "Yes. But who? Nobody knows." "Motive for murder?" "do not know either." "Parnell is a humanoid like you?"

"Yes, like me." "Would the aliens on other planets think he was a human and kill him?" "Impossible. The aliens can tell the difference between a robot and a human at a glance, even though a humanoid robot looks like a human," "What if some idiot can't see the difference?" "On the contrary, Ilya friend," Daniel said calmly.No matter how violent the argument may be, he never rushes it. "It takes a roboticist to bring about the total destruction of an advanced model of robot." "So Fastolfer's political enemies charged him?"

"yes." "Is there no one else?" "No. You know, Dr. Fastolfer is the most eminent roboticist in Aurora." "What did Dr. Fastolfer say?" "He has categorically denied any involvement in the case." "What's going on then?" "That's the mystery of this case." "Okay, let me think about it, Daniel." "Okay, friend Ilya. It's time for you to sleep too." In the next few days, Bailey ate, watched movies and books, and slept.He can't tell the difference between day and night.One day Giscart came in and said:

"We're almost to Aurora, sir." "When will it be?" "It will be here in a few days." "Okay, Giscart," Bailey said, and the robot walked out without a sound.
