Chapter 10 chapter eight

The lights in the restaurant were turned off, and the 38-year-old father appeared at the door with a cake, and five candles reflected his smile.The candlelight paints Dad a very warm golden color, and this impression will remain in Yuan Yuan's memory bank forever. Grandma, mother and 8-year-old sister Xianyun all laughed, urging him to meditate on a good wish.He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked his father: "Is it okay to have one more wish?" Dad smiled and said, "Yes, why not." "Is five wishes okay?" Dad laughed even louder: "Yes, God must be very generous to Yuan Yuan today."

So he thought of five wishes in his heart.He wished his grandmother to live to be a hundred years old; wished his father to be the biggest scientist in the world; wished his mother no gray hair; wished sister Xianyun happy every day; and wished himself to grow up quickly.The candles were blown out, and they finished their festive meal happily. After dinner, his father took him and his sister outside to enjoy the cool.The tall treetops of poplars penetrate the orchid sky, rustling in the night wind, and small spots of light shine through the dense leaves of holly trees.He and his sister monkey were on his father's back and knees, listening to his father's talk about the stars in the sky.Yuanyuan, do you know?That is Altair, named in astronomy as Alpha Aquila; that is Vega, Alpha Lyrae; Cowherd and Vega are 16 light-years away, and it takes 32 years to receive a reply after sending a telegram.The red giant star is α Scorpius, which was called Antares or Great Fire in ancient my country. Its diameter is 330 times that of the sun and it is 270 light-years away from the earth.Now the maximum viewing distance of astronomical telescopes is 10 billion light years, so what we see is actually the situation of these galaxies 10 billion years ago.Here, time and space have become one.At that time, there was no earth, let alone life.

Yuan Yuan remembers that he had a strong curiosity about "life" at that time.he asks: "Is there anyone on the other stars?" Dad said: "In theory, there is absolutely, but unfortunately there is no evidence so far. Of course, aliens are definitely not human. They may be plants, they may breathe sulfur dioxide, they may even exist in an energy state, or The imaginary life of computer information." Sister Xianyun frowned and asked, "Father, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything?" But Yuan Yuan remembers that he already had an instinctive understanding of these insights when he was 5 years old.Dad's words aroused some doubts in him, and he suddenly asked:

"Dad, why am I different from other kids?" Dad laughed out loud then, but he could feel Dad was covering something up: "Silly Yuanyuan, what's the difference?" "A lot, a lot. Why don't I cry? Why is there an extra sleep switch? Also, I never dream, but Sister Yun, Xiaogang, and Xiaoying can do it. I really envy them." He found sister Xianyun secretly laughing, and his father stopped her with his eyes.Then Dad said lightly: "You'll dream when you grow up. Two or three years at most." "real?" "certainly." He remembers being elated that he would soon be able to have colorful dreams like other children.But he felt that elder sister Xianyun had been secretly laughing, as if she had something to say to her father in a hurry, and his father was quietly stopping her.At that time, he played a small game, he shouted to go out to play, and when he was out of Dad's sight, he slipped back quietly like a cat.He heard his sister whispering:

"Dad, why can't Yuan Yuan know that he is a robot?" Dad smiled kindly: "He is still young, if he knows that he is not the biological son of parents, he will be sad." "When can I tell him?" "Soon, I think it will be two or three years at most. Yun'er, you see Yuan Yuan's intellectual development is so fast, and he will soon be unable to hide it, even if he wants to. We will tell him then. "He heard Dad talking to himself: "Not yet, maybe the bond is not strong enough." Yuan Yuan appeared in front of his father with a pale face: "Dad, I know. I'm a robot!"

Dad was obviously surprised, he stood up and forced a smile: "Silly boy, don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Yuan cried angrily: "I know. You have lied to me, you have been lying to me!" He shook off Dad's arm.Rushed into the night sadly. That night, Yuan Yuan hid alone in the bushes by the Weiming Lake, listening to his father, mother, and sister calling him anxiously.But he gritted his teeth and kept silent.Why is he the only one among so many kids who is a robot?Only he has no real father, real mother, alone, and even the whole universe has no one of his kind! In the middle of the night, he heard his grandma come out, and the old man's slender voice trembled in the cold night:

"Yuanyuan, come back—" He finally couldn't help it, climbed out of the bushes and shouted: "Grandma, I'm going back!" Then he ran back with a bang.There was no one at home, and it seemed empty, and he suddenly felt a kind of bone-chilling loneliness.After thinking about it, he opened the terminal of Wolfe's computer, and Wolfe appeared on the screen with a smile on his face: "Wolf Computer is willing to help you." He asked with concern: "Yuan Yuan, what's the matter so late?" Yuan Yuan hesitated.He felt a natural affinity with Wolfe, perhaps because they were half-kind?He whispered:

"Wolf, my good friend, I will tell you a secret, and you will keep it secret for me. Will you?" "Of course, I will obey your orders." "Wolf, let me tell you, I'm probably a robot. My brain is also a computer like yours." Wolf called up the "surprised" expression program, "Really?" Yuan Yuan nodded and murmured: "Well, I am a robot alone, grandma, father, mother, sister and so many others are not. I am too lonely. I want to have sisters, brothers, many, many Robots, a big family of robots, will be passed down for thousands of years. Do you agree?"

He was lost in reverie.The father who arrived later heard these words and stopped in surprise.Mother helped grandma trembling and then arrived.Grandma burst into tears, holding Yuan Yuan in her arms: "Yuan Yuan, my good grandson, you're terrified of grandma!" His mother and elder sister Yun also surrounded him tightly, Yuan Yuan forced a smile and said: "I'm fine. Grandma, you all go to sleep, I want to sleep too." The next day, the whole family seemed to have forgotten about it.But Yuanyuan found sadly that the adult's love for him was mixed with never-before-seen caution.Sister Yun went to school, and Xiaoying Xiaomeng came to ask him to play simulation games again.He's still the captain of an Earth-based spaceship, and he absent-mindedly presses his laser cannon, tearing apart the alien droid's spaceship.Xiaoying happily hugged his shoulder from behind:

"Yuan Yuan, we have won! The robots have been wiped out!" This sentence was like a steel needle piercing his nerves, and he trembled and suddenly cried angrily: "Why do you hate robots? Why do you want robots to die! From today on, I will never let robots be killed again!" Xiaoying and the others looked at him in surprise and fear.He saw the fleet commander quietly appear at the door of the spaceship-in reality, it was Dad who walked in.He immediately turned to his father and complained: "Dad, they are all looking forward to the death of the robot, I will never play with them again!"

He saw doubt in his father's eyes.He suddenly thought that his father was not a robot, and suddenly felt a strangeness and alienation that he had never had before.So he shut his mouth and walked away in silence. Grandma died a few days later.When she went out to visit her grandson that night, grandma fell and injured her pelvis, causing further complications. The body of the 73-year-old man could not withstand the blow.Before his grandma died, Yuan Yuan experienced an emotional return. He forgot the diaphragm that had grown up in his heart these days, and lay down on the hospital bed and cried loudly: "Grandma, I won't let you die!" He could feel his grandmother's skinny palms gently stroking him, and his mother pulled him away from the hospital bed.His father had been cold and silent in those days, and he remembered that it was from this day that the love in his eyes disappeared. One evening, Yuan Yuan was playing alone among the toys.Suddenly Dad walked in and looked at him with a strange expression.Dad said: "Yuan Yuan, go to sleep." Yuan Yuan raised his head strangely and asked, "Sleep? It's only seven o'clock." But Dad couldn't help it, he raised his arm roughly, pressed the switch, and his mind immediately turned into a blue blank background.But the alertness of the last moment made him try to hold back a little energy.He could vaguely feel his father hugging him, walking up and down.He heard the sound of equipment, a figure swaying behind the blue background, and low voices of conversation.Dad whispered: "Freeze the desire to live." "The self-explosive device is installed." That bit of energy quietly seeped away, and his remaining consciousness slowly melted into darkness.In the following 37 years, these memories have been locked tightly, almost as if they were separated in another world by a barrier of life and death.After Brother Park performed the operation on him, he could feel something in his heart trying hard to break through a hard shell and get out. Now Wolfe's words smashed the hard shell.He paled and asked in a low voice: "Wolf, my friend, why haven't you told me for 37 years?" "You never entered a query command." "What about today?" Wolfe replied in a low voice, his rhythmic synthetic voice beginning to take on an emotional shift: "Yuanyuan, I don't know. Ever since I helped Mr. Park decipher the transmission code of the desire to survive, there has always been a throbbing desire in my body, urging me to do certain things without waiting for the master's instructions. Yuanyuan, I am very Scared, I must have malfunctioned." Yuan Yuan was stunned for a long time before saying, "Wolf, goodbye." "Goodbye, Yuanyuan." He returned to his bedroom, staring at the ceiling in a daze.Suddenly he noticed a slightly rotating camera lens in the corner of the ceiling.He immediately concentrated his keen electromagnetic sense, followed the weak electric field of the wires in the wall, and easily found the source of the wires—leading to Dad's study.He just wondered why he hadn't noticed it for 37 years. He sneaked to the door of his father's study and looked around, but there was no one else.The study door was locked, but the lock was a trivial matter for his extrasensory abilities.A few seconds later, he poked open the door lock with a wire. The atmosphere in the room was gloomy, and the heavy velvet curtains were still drawn tightly.The black table and the black high-backed swivel chair were all standing in the dim light, and Old Master Confucius was staring at him in the dark.He quickly found the cleverly disguised screen and switch.He pressed the switch, and the face of Confucius quickly disappeared, and the thin LCD screen flickered, and then the room he was familiar with appeared on the screen.Yuan Yuan pressed the switch, and the screen flashed the parents' bedroom, sister's bedroom, living room, dining room... He turned off the switch, and the LCD screen returned to a portrait, but the glow of the screen still remained on the portrait.He looked around and felt a strong energy field inside the drawer.He concentrated his senses, and a vague shape of a high-power laser gun appeared in his mind. The energy field was emitted by the high-energy battery in the gun body. Yuan Yuan was silent for a long time in the study, with wise eyes and a serious expression.He crossed a 37-year life gap in one step, from a 5-year-old child to a 42-year-old adult.He murmured in his heart: "It turns out that I am a robot, the alien that my father guards against in every possible way. Dad, Yuan Yuan, who has lived in ignorance for 42 years, has woken up today. I want to overcome obstacles and create the era of robots alone. Dad, mom, sister, I want to Parted with you." Hearing his mother coming back through the crack of the door, he slipped out quietly, closed the door, and wrapped himself up in the 5-year-old Jiaohan: "Mom!" He giggled and greeted his mother from behind. Mom said angrily: "You little villain, you scared me. I have good news for you. Your sister is coming back soon." Despite knowing his "heterogeneous" status, he still felt intense joy, and he exclaimed happily: "Really, Mom? Is my sister's filming in Africa finished?" "It's done. She called to say that the rainy season they've been looking forward to has finally come. She will come back after shooting the rainy season scene." "Great, I really miss her!"
