《Love and Robots》4. Strange robots
Advertisement
Pi is a scout type robot, the main mission is to search, detect, identify and sneak attack enemy targets, pi is smaller, in the production of a variety of stealth technology, with high stealth.
At this time, he was walking at the head of the line. Although he looks the same as he usually does, the built in detection waves have spread out in layers of ripples around his body, creating a three dimensional representation of the terrain within a kilometer of each other.
Pi is synchronously sharing the mirror data it has collected with its peers over the LAN.
All the evidence is pointing to the fact that this is an incomparably desolate planet. The soil is barren, barren, and devoid of any trace of other human activity.
In this case, the presence of the infant human is even more abrupt.
Without an adult around him, how did he survive the harsh conditions of the planet? In the files sent over, alpha noticed the presence of a beast, a huge beast that existed outside his database, living in packs on the planet, and was definitely a predator.
The Alphas’ shimmering screen glows silently with undulating blue light.
He was reminded of it by the ever-increasing urgency of his alarm, and it was only eight minutes and four seconds before the self-destruct system was activated.
At this time, pi suddenly said: “The front 10 o’clock to 800 meters found suspicious targets! Danger coefficient 1! Do you need to clear suspicious targets? ”
“Go and have a look, ” alpha said, momentarily putting his doubts about the human infant on the to do list. His attention was drawn to the suspicious object he had been sent to find: a robot!
How could he not care that a robot had suddenly appeared on a planet that Alpha had judged to be so backward as to be devoid of any advanced productivity?
The five droids immediately arrived at the target at top speed.
From the moment the robot entered exploratory range, pi scanned it from beginning to end, from outside to inside.

” ... the target robot body is made entirely of fine steel, the dominant material for the first generation of robots, which was abandoned seven hundred and eighty years ago at the birth of the second generation... ”
“Completely unarmed inside and out, ruling out the possibility of battle droids... internal parts showing significant wear and tear... ”
At full speed, send the results of the second scan to the other robots. As a result, from the moment they first met, Alpha and his team had a full picture of what it was like to be a stranger.
However, when they actually saw each other, they both crashed for 0.1 millisecond.
I mean, I knew the robot was a dinosaur, but it’s a little old-fashioned.
In stark contrast to the monochrome alpha line, the robot doesn’t have a single piece of metal of the same color, so it looks like it’s been pieced together.
Even the mechanical arm is missing one side, do not know who to repair him, missing one arm was replaced with a wooden material.
It’s also..
Beyond the realm of logical computation -- a robot led by Alpha thought the same thing.
A slightly newer vegetable basket stuffed with a large ball was rolled at the foot of this comical, almost impossible-to-call-robot piece of junk.
His leg also fell off, although he is very old and very broken, but still see this leg fell off the reason is not walking off their own, but by external intervention, forced off.
The severed limb of the robot was found not far away, and Alpha took a closer look at the teeth marks and determined that the killer was the large beast seen in the previously sent image.
The robot was attacked by a wild animal, but it was soon discovered that the prey did not taste good at all, so it was dumped here.
“Let’s get out of here, ” alpha said in an impassive voice as he tossed the body parts to the ground.

Even though they are robots, alphas have no sympathy for him at all, and such rudimentary robots, presumably not intelligent at all, exist only as machines, unable to communicate at all.
But something even more out of the realm of Alpha Logic has happened --
“Good day, good day. ”
As Alpha and his men turned to leave, an ill timed greeting was clearly heard below their feet.
That’s the sound of a robot. It’s that piece of shit robot!
The alpha stopped short.
The robot is so primitive that it has no internal network and can not use brain waves to communicate with other robots. It can only speak to its own kind by means of sound.
“Hello, are you a robot, too? ”
The broken limb did not cause the robot to feel pain, so his voice sounded very calm.
“Yes. ” Alpha turned and looked down at the nearly disassembled robot, its head the most complete of any other part of its body.
Alpha’s feeling a little weird.
He thought it was strange that a robot with no intelligence could communicate with him!
“Hello, my kind, I haven’t seen you here before, are you just here? ” Not only to communicate actively, his logic is also very clear.
“Yes, ” alpha answered him truthfully.
“I’ve lived on this planet for 500 years, and all of this information is stored in my brain, and because my hard drive isn’t big enough, I only have some of it, and some of it is stored on another hard drive somewhere else. ”
“All this can be given to you. ”
He uttered a phrase that sounded flat, emotionless, and devoid of any inclination, because of the characteristic rigidity of the robot’s voice.
Alpha, however, recognized his subtext.
“What do you want me to give you in exchange for giving me such valuable information? ”
Ipsilon they may not be able to hear it, but Alpha, who has dealt with humans the most, immediately heard it in their words.
“I hope you can take care of a human for me after I break down, ” said the man, who was still a robot and was very honest about his terms.
“A human named Mugan is four years, seven months and three days old. You can extract his image from my hard drive later. I hope you can take care of him for me after I break down. ”
It was still a very cold, hard mechanical sound, but it sounded different from what you usually hear.
“He’s a very well-cared-for human being and won’t waste much of your energy. ”
“Did you come here with other humans? If so, please give Mugan to other humans. If not, surely you need to find a human to be your master? ”
“Muggan would make a great host. He’s the best human being I’ve ever seen. ”
As the robot continued, the noise in his voice increased, and if what he said at first was very logical, then what he said next was illogical.
That’s something only a human would say, alpha thought, his head cocked.
“Please, ” said the last word, and the tattered robot stared at the Alfa.
The red light disappeared from his eyes, and he made no sound for the rest of the day.
In human terms, he’s dead.
In robot parlance, he’s broken.
“It’s just running out of gas, ” alpha told Epsilon after picking up the broken robot and checking it. “Put everything on the floor away and let’s go back to where we came from. ”
“Yes, ” Ypsilon replied sullenly, and dutifully collected all the parts that belonged to the strange robot on the floor, even the vegetable basket.
The four droids are on the move.
At this point, the self-destruct system is only three minutes away.

Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!

I Was Reincarnated as Someone's Mana??
My name is Magnus Karlsson, and by a series of rather unfortunate events that I had absolutely no say in, I was killed and reincarnated. In this story, you will follow Magnus as he tries his very best to survive in a world that's been thrown into chaos, together with the man whose mana he is, Allan Woodsworth. Well, not a man per se, more of a little boy who has no idea what the fuck is going on, but, you know... I'm sure it'll be fine. Nothing bad will happen to the pair. Nope. No abandoned kids here. Anyhow. The world that Magnus has been thrown into is one perversed by the will of a great mage who, three thousand years ago, decided that it would be a great idea to infuse all the people of the earth with so-called "orbs". These magical crystals allow their handler to control and generate mana, which they can then use to become mages. Most barely use them, since the mana cost of doing such a little thing as a fireball spell is absolutely ridiculous. Said mage, Theodore Cromwell, Magnus used his resources to infuse not only humans with orbs, but animals as well, giving rise to what the mage community calls "horrid perversions of nature", but what the common folk calls "monsters". Orbs can be used for much, and it is through orbs that people keep track on their level of mana and such, and destroying the orb of a monster is A, the only way to kill it and B, a good way to absorb extra mana and raise ones level. It is such an orb that Magnus has been tranformed into. ------ To those that care, I'm very sorry about the title, it's just that, well, it's very good to be blunt about isekais like this since people such as myself search precisely for this, so having super-serious names like "The Magnus of the World of Orbs" would turn people wanting a simple and fun isekai off. I hope you give this story a fair chance! ------ Edit: IWRASM now has a deviantart page!!! https://www.deviantart.com/thefunartcorner
