When the Yamato returned to the real universe from the jump state, He Ming's duty mission also ended.
After saying hello to Okita Shisan, He Ming followed the analyst and left the first bridge, heading to the dining hall to look for Belfast and Xiaoying.
The two of them seem to have fallen in love with reading recently, perhaps because of their interest in the broadcasting that Yuriya Misaki is responsible for. After helping out in the canteen, they always like to sit in the corner with a book borrowed from Yuriya Misaki.
It turned quietly.
No, when He Ming stepped into the dining hall, he saw two figures, one large and one small, quietly turning over the books in their hands.
Looking from a distance, He Ming seemed to be familiar with the books in their hands.
After getting closer, He Ming finally saw the content on the page clearly, and then he realized that it was the book Yuria Misaki had recently read on the radio - "The Heart of Observer No. 9".
"Huh? Sir, you are here."
Perhaps because he felt He Ming's breath approaching, Belfast raised his head and said hello to He Ming.
At this moment, He Ming noticed that something seemed wrong in Belfast's eyes.
"Are you coming out today?"
He Ming smiled slightly and sat down opposite "Belfast".
The next second, the small shadow sitting on the shoulder of "Belfast" flapped its wings and flew to He Ming's shoulder. He opened his hands, hugged the side of He Ming's face and rubbed it, then flew back to "Belfast".
On Te's shoulder, he waved his little hand, signaling to turn the page quickly.
"Belfast", no, it should be said that Sasha Iskandar apologized quietly and turned the page of the book gracefully.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoying stretched out his little head and stared at the new content on the page.
"I have been somewhat interested in the content of this book recently. Therefore, I asked Miss Bell to do a small favor. I can borrow it and read it before Miss Yuria Misaki starts broadcasting every day."
"The heart of Observer No. 9? I didn't expect you to be interested in it!"
Sasha Iskandar is the second princess of the Iskandar royal family who comes from an advanced civilization that far exceeds the level of science and technology on Earth.
According to Iskandar's technical level, the existence of Observer No. 9 in the book is not uncommon, and he is even active in various fields, and even Gamilas, who was enlightened by Iskandar and led him into the cosmic era.
Similar techniques are also being used.
The only difference from Observer No. 9 in the book is that the autonomous robots used by Iskandar and Gamilas are just tools of the two countries, rather than autonomous robots with their own thoughts.
"Well, humans are indeed very interesting."
Sasha lowered her eyes and carefully read every word and paragraph in the book, carefully understanding the content inside.
"There seems to be a sentence in human language: Can autonomous robots dream of electronic sheep?"
"Well, there is such a word."
He Ming nodded in response.
"However, regardless of the technological gap between Earth and Iskandar, there is no case similar to No. 9 in our historical records of Iskandar."
Sasha raised her hand and gently touched Xiaoying's head, but the little guy was dissatisfied.
After Xiaoying hummed twice, he continued to read the content on the page attentively.
"There has never been a similar case on the human side. From the time when humans entered the era of information technology explosion, all robots with self-thinking, self-thought, and even the ability to touch the soul almost only exist in books and many film and television works.
Among fantasy works."
"Yeah?"
Sasha lowered her eyes and continued to read the words in the book, but her thoughts couldn't help but drift to the scene last night when she had a spiritual communication with Yulisa, who was still sleeping.
"Sasha, did you know? Just now, a strange entity suddenly appeared in the Yamato's internal network. I even said hello to it, but it ran away without me paying attention.
"
"Oh, really? Then what did you tell him?"
"This? I just asked, who is he?"
Then, Sasha accidentally remembered the book Yuria Misaki had recently read on the radio, and that's why the current scene happened.
Sasha moved her lips slightly and glanced at Xiao Ying, who was concentrating on reading a book.
"Sir, do you think Xiaoying is a living being with a soul?"
"Huh? Why do you ask that?"
He Ming was a little surprised.
Although the birth of Xiaoying is based on a series of coincidences and adventures, there is no doubt that Xiaoying is an electronic life form with its own thoughts and soul.
He Ming waved, and Xiao Ying raised his head as if he was aware of it. After seeing He Ming's movements, he immediately flapped his wings and flew to He Ming's palm, holding He Ming's thumb and shaking it back and forth like a baby.
"Although Xiaoying was born from within Chengying by chance, it is undeniable that she is an independent living being with a soul."
"Really? Then, sir, you think robots are existences that can have their own souls."
Sasha smiled and said crisply.
"Well, that's true."
What a frank admission.
This point does not require any denial.
The names of the others are not known.
But around him, from the intelligent AI cubes Adino and Xiaoying, to the mental cores such as King Kong, Maya, and Belfast, and finally, the super-dimensional fortress' main control AI Wayros, which of these existences does not possess
Self-personality, existence with soul.
"In this case, I understand something."
Sasha smiled slightly and was about to continue speaking when a warning sound suddenly sounded.
"Warning! Warning! The ship has entered the first alert state! The ship has entered the first alert state!"
"The captured puppet soldiers have escaped from the analysis room! All irrelevant personnel immediately go to the safe area to avoid encounters with the puppet soldiers! All members of the security department are dispatched!"
As soon as they heard this announcement, the people in the dining hall started to commotion.
"Everyone, don't panic! The security department has started taking action! You just stay here and don't run around! I'll go check on the situation!"
"Yes! Second officer."
Seeing He Ming sitting in the corner stand up to comfort the staff, everyone felt reassured and gradually regained their composure.
"Bell, do you want to come with me? My intuition tells me that maybe the strange existence that Yulisa discovered is the puppet soldier."
Sasha, "Belfast" nodded, closed the book in her hand, followed He Ming and walked out of the dining hall.
Xiaoying tilted his head, flapped his wings, and flew out.
Chapter completed!
