Will robots dream?
The answer to this question seems to be obvious.
Robots rely on preset programs and practical data to think at the logical level, which is extremely rational.
And dreaming seems to have nothing to do with reason.
It is an extreme manifestation of perceptual thinking in human thinking, and an act that cannot be simulated by no amount of data.
In other words, only creatures with souls can dream.
Icarus has a soul, she is special.
At this moment, in the confrontation with the thorny enemy, her mind was pulled into a dream.
This is an experience Icarus has never had.
The unknown will always make people fear, and fear will bring resistance.
She almost subconsciously reorganized the data flow in her mind, and wanted to wake herself up from the state of sleepiness, and Diana was about to break free from the constraints...
"If you still want to see Merlin... don't struggle, go to bed."
The voice from the dream sounded in Icarus's mind.
It was like a hammer suddenly coming, hammering hard on Icarus's heart.
Facing the strong enemies from the outside world and the call of dreams.
The young lady made a choice without hesitation.
She was immersed in the dream.
Consciousness seems to have left the body, as if it falls from a high altitude, falling towards the other spiritual world.
"boom"
In the square of Nubani Industrial Park, the female demigod, who was suppressed by thousands of intelligent weapons and bodies, burst out with divine power again.
The blue flames soared into the sky, and the beating curtains of light were like real burning flames, gathering the metal creatures that pressed her into the flames, melting and twisting their bodies.
In the explosion caused by the tumultuous flames, the metal cage shaped by the intelligent manipulators with their bodies was torn apart.
The fragmented metal limbs danced in the air, like raindrops hitting the ground.
Further away from the square, there was a constant stream of intelligent machinery rushing out of the warehouse and rushing towards where Diana and Icarus were.
The female demigod moved her wrists, and she carried a round shield and a burning sword, and walked towards Icarus, who was standing not far away.
She was like the most ruthless and cruel butcher on the battlefield. She waved the sharp blade in her hand, and as the sword fell, the intelligent weapons that tried to stop her were cut off with one knife.
The blue war power is rolling.
It represents the anger that surged in Diana's heart, and the kind of warrior fanaticism is spreading.
The daughter of Amazon made up her mind to defeat her opponent.
"it's over!"
The demigod walked to Icarus's eyes. She looked at the tragic appearance of the smart girl, and stared at the sapphire-like eyes.
She waved the burning sword of the Fire God, and slashed down in the streaming light brought by the sharp blade.
But in the end it stopped at Icarus's forehead.
"Um?"
Diana looked at the unresponsive smart weapon in front of her, like a warrior who was waiting to die with her eyes closed.
The intelligent weapons around also stopped charging strangely.
They stood there, as if they were suddenly shut down, like metal sculptures standing on this messy battlefield.
The battlefield where I just returned the life-and-death battle fell silent in an instant.
It is as quiet as everything that happened just now is like a dream.
"What the hell? Have you given up resisting?"
Diana frowned and looked around.
She reached out and patted Icarus on the cheek, but the latter did not respond.
I don’t know if Diana heard it wrong, but the intelligent weapon in front of me, which seemed like a fierce god just now actually made a deep impression...
snore?
"Sleep?"
The female demigod stared at Icarus in surprise.
"Robot? Sleep?"
"She is dreaming, if the data I observed is correct..."
A voice rang out in the sky behind Diana.
The female demigod turned around and saw a huge suspended chair covered with various buttons and robotic arms floating in the air.
Sitting on that chair was a thin man.
Next to the man, there was a woman wearing a black long skirt and looking pretty neutral.
Well, the hairstyle is quite trendy.
"Dr. George?"
Diana recognized the doctor on the suspended chair, and she put away her sword and shield.
She asked:
"I haven't seen you since the outbreak of the crisis. I thought you ran away early."
“I’m collecting data.”
George didn't even look at Diana. He stared at the sleeping Icarus and whispered:
"Some special data... about Icarus, about her evolution, about the soul models she uploaded to the network, etc."
"Then now?"
Diana looked at the dead battlefield around her and the completely destroyed Nubani Industrial Park, and she said with her waist on her back:
“What should I do now?”
"Of course it's evacuation, sister."
Dr. Moira, who was sitting next to George, raised her finger and pointed to the sky, and she said:
"A 2-ton tungsten gold rod is falling towards this place at supersonic speeds. The kinetic energy it generates when it lands is enough to destroy the entire industrial park and everything in it."
"There are still 5 minutes left for us to evacuate...why? Didn't those who fired the Staff of God notify you?"
"No one told me."
Diana pointed to her ear and said:
"The communicator broke from the beginning, and Steve... Did you see Steve? He was still here just now, we're going to take him away."
"He was sent away by a smart machine and should have arrived at the safe zone now."
George manipulated the suspended chair and said to Diana:
"Icarus didn't want to kill you at all. She seemed to be just losing her temper and just want to teach you a lesson."
"Kill me?"
Diana looked back at the dull Icarus, and she ran along the ground with the floating chair, speeding up.
She said:
"This mechanical girl can't do it... Merlin can't kill me!"
"Then you're wrong."
George's slow voice came from mid-air, he said:
"Theoretically, every smart machine in an industrial zone can self-destruct."
"You saw it just now, Icarus can order them to do anything."
"There are more than 50,000 activated intelligent machines here. If they are detonated in a special way, the explosive kinetic energy gathered together is enough to break through the continental shelf."
"Yes, Ms. Diana, the power of this explosion may not kill you..."
"But if she wanted to, you're really that close to 27% of the time today may be buried here."
Super Brain Man whispered:
"So I said it all, Icarus was just losing his temper."
"You can understand her as a rebellious girl in adolescence who does something sad but doesn't cross the bottom line."
"She has just evolved after all, and she is learning to be a real person."
"Will she die?"
Diana, who ran like the wind, asked:
"Will the stick of God you mentioned kill her?"
"Look at the aside from what you asked..."
This time, the one who answered Diana was Ms. Moira.
She sneered:
"Icarus has a soul. Although no one knows how she did it and how she broke through the limits of data, her soul is still composed of data."
"Sister Diana, for robots, the body is like clothes. If you want to change, you can throw away..."
"You played with Icarus wonderfully, but to be honest, you can't hurt her by just physical means. To put it bluntly, she was just 'playing' with you."
"Do you know how many 'clothes' are in Icarus' 'closet'?"
Moira's ridicule made Diana frown.
But she couldn't refute.
really.
Even if she ruined the mechanical body, Icarus would have lost a set of "cloths".
This battle was meaningless from the beginning.
"The woman around Merlin...that Carol, plus Icarus now..."
Diana whispered:
"What a bunch of monsters!"
—————————
"Bang"
Icarus's consciousness falls rapidly in the dream world.
The falling speed was completely inconsistent with the laws of physics. She was like a falling bird. In a messy time, she fell on a lawn.
There is no pain, not even a sense of impact.
She quickly got up from the lawn and looked around with caution.
In front of her was a gorgeous golden palace, behind her was an unknown tree with low but numerous black vines.
The gentle light fell from the sky and found it in this small area, outlining a strange and quiet atmosphere.
Icarus turned around and could see the wall behind her, made of light, and on the other side of the wall, there was a dim light gathering and flowing.
That was a substantial nightmare.
All the power in her body disappeared.
She came here in a state of soul...
"It's really not easy to find you."
The sound that had called her into her dream rang out again.
As the palace gate opened, Zhatanna, wearing a magician's dress, fishnet stockings and high boots, appeared in front of her with a smooth black long hair.
"Zatana Zatara?"
Icarus recognized the woman immediately.
She knew that Zatanna and Merlin had an intersection.
As Merlin's intelligent assistant, Icarus also knows that Merlin will always be immersed in dreams for a while during the week.
With Zatanna.
That was Merlin's little secret, and not many people knew it.
"Yo, the soul of a robot."
Zatanna looked at Icarus's soul form with a strange look.
She seemed to be looking at some rare thing, and she circled around Icarus several times, making a surprise sound from her mouth.
“It’s pretty.”
Zatanna commented.
Icarus's soul form is indeed quite beautiful.
Unlike human souls, Icarus' soul maintains the appearance of a robot.
The silver-white metal is shaped into the arc of the body, just like real skin, dotted with a ring of radiant energy on the body, and behind the very anthropomorphic head, there are long hair made of blue light spots.
This makes Icarus look so refined and unreal.
Just like those science fiction movies, mechanical girls who always have some weird erotic atmosphere.
“Where is this?”
Icarus didn't care about Zatanna's comments, she asked with a frown:
"Am I dreaming now? Is this the feeling when humans dream?"
"No, no, don't make a mistake."
Zatanna reached out and shook her hand, she explained:
"You are indeed dreaming, but this scene has nothing to do with the dreams of most humans."
"This is a dream world belonging to Melin and I, and it comes from a solidified dream created by the excessive absorption of dream sand."
"You may not understand these magic terms. In short, you'd better consider this place as another real world."
Miss Magic waved her hand, her expression became more serious, and she said to Icarus:
"I took the risk to bring you in to confirm something."
"Something hidden deep in your soul."
Zatanna stretched out her hand, and in her magical inspiration, Icarus felt his soul trembling endlessly.
That feeling was awful, she took a few steps back.
"Don't move!"
Zatanna maintained the spell casting action, she said:
"You are also very confused about why you suddenly have a soul."
"You are also puzzled by what happened while you are sleeping."
"You also want to confirm whether Merlin is still alive? Will he return to this world..."
"If you want to know this, don't move!"
Icarus' expression changed a little.
To be honest, she doesn't trust Zatanna very much.
This distrust stems from first contact, as well as this strange dream world, and also from Icarus' disagreement with Zatanna's secret relationship with Merlin.
in other words...
envy.
It was a sour mood, as if I had eaten several lemons in one breath.
Although Icarus hasn't really eaten lemon.
But if all this is related to Merlin's final whereabouts, as Miss Magic said...
Then Icarus is willing to take risks.
"Open your heart!"
Zatanna put her finger on Icarus's soul's forehead, she said:
"Uh, I mean, data flow, those lights, don't let them move around! I'm dazzled..."
"This is the first time I have checked the soul of a robot. To be honest, this experience is quite novel. Your soul form is indeed completely different from that of a human... Well, I found it!"
After a few seconds of searching, Zatanna let out a pleasant laugh.
With her fingers stretched out.
Icarus could feel that something hidden deep in his soul was extracted.
She opened her eyes and saw a black ball of smoke jumping in Zatanna's palm.
"This is?"
Icarus asked.
Zatanna glanced at her, flicked her fingers outwards, and the smoke was held into the air.
Between the injection of magic, the smoke spreads out like an open projection. As the smoke gathers and disperses, the illusory Merlin appears in front of Icarus and Zatanna.
"It's Merlin!"
Icarus screamed in surprise.
She opened her arms and rushed towards Merlin in front of her, but she was empty.
As the smoke gathered and dispersed, Zatanna gathered the broken soul back to the state of smoke.
"Not Merlin."
Zatanna said to Icarus, who was standing there:
"It's his soul, to be precise, one third of the soul."
"You are his Horcrux, Icarus."
"You are one of the people he trusts most before his death. He has entrusted his future to you, even if you don't know this."
"Come on, follow me."
Zatanna watched the smoke in her hand return to Icarus's soul, and she waved to the Mechanic, and she said:
"I'll explain it to you."
“And, we need to plan…”
