History of New Mechanical Records

Chapter 17 17.1&17.2&17.3

It took Lister a while to study Lilo in a relationship.

After they were really together, he was a little scared instead.No one has taught him what to do in this regard, and the human couples he has observed over the years get along very differently.

But Lister wanted their relationship to be peaceful and stable.How do we do this?

How do human beings think about this?

When Li Luo was holding Li Si's hand and strolling around the ancient bookstore in Lucilian New District, Li Si was thinking: "Have you read "The Devotion of Suspect X"? This book has a good review."

"Where is it?"

Li Si scanned it: "Three planes in area D on the second floor..."

"The scanning system is strictly prohibited in the store!!!" The little girl standing by the cashier took the handle of the feather duster—it turned out to be a feather duster—and knocked hard on the table: "The couple over there, do you hear that?!"

Paper bookstores are afraid that scanning will damage the books, just as museums prohibit photography for fear that the flash will damage these antiques.

Li Si was embarrassed but a little happy: "Sorry, sorry."

There are surprisingly many people on the second floor, and the bookstore is doing promotions.The salesperson robot commanded the customers in the crowd: "Come, come, everyone line up! [-]% off one book, [-]% off on two books, and [-]% off on gift box special!" Paper ancient books have recently been marketed as expensive, exquisite and high-end small gifts. It would be a perfect gift for a lover. Li Luo has a cabinet of paper books at home, and scoffs at this kind of marketing. Li Si is very interested in this kind of human things, so he picked two books by Keigo Higashino and went to the front desk to check out.

Bored, Li Luobai leaned on the bookcase and waited for Li Si, separated by a crowd of people.Li Si was very happy, like a human boy in love.He looked at his back being squeezed by the crowd, and smiled unconsciously.

At this time, he saw the Inoit III standing not far away to observe him again, wearing the clothes of a salesperson, with a big gray cat face on the peaked cap.

baffling.Li Luo picked up a copy of "On Plagiarism" and flipped through it casually. The Inoit III continued to look at him with curiosity, like a human staring at a fish in a water tank.Li Si put his arms around his shoulders, blocking his sight: "Let's go."

"do you know?"

Li Si shook his head.

"I've seen it before."

"When?"

"August...early August."

Li Si frowned: "Is my model drawing public?"

"Yes." Li Luo lit a cigarette in the cold air of early autumn. "There are probably more than 50 institutions and individuals in the country capable of replicating it. It's hard to say where they came from."

"If it was this number, he would have left the factory at a relatively early age. Those who were capable in the early days were only those few. Recently, Andre Smith passed away. Although the police filed a case, they did not investigate carefully-too ​​many people died during the occupation , and most of them are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, he is an indifferent little scholar, this kind of suspected robot vents his anger..." Li Si paused, "The killing of producers or guardians is everywhere."

"Xiao Si, did you ever think about killing me?" Li Luo asked suddenly.

He could feel it, or had felt it a little bit, when he was his guardian.Li Si was very obedient to him, but I am afraid that every robot at that time thought of killing the guardian.

Li Si was silent.

Li Luo: "Okay, I see."

Li Si: "It's not what you imagined. I once calculated that possibility, but it was just a program, and the speed was too fast to be controlled by me."

Li Luo blew out a smoke ring: "Thank you for not killing me, Xiaosi."

He is angry.Li Si quickly clarified himself: "What a mess, I have liked you since I was conscious, and when that kind of calculation program appeared, I canceled them all. How can I be willing? I feel so bad for you if you get even a little hurt."

Li Luo: "..."

He remembered that Li Si had saved him three times.Those humans and robots are dead.Li Si has always cherished Li Luo's life.

Li Si observed for a while, and touched Li Luo's face: "If necessary, I must format, and I would like you to do it."

I can give you my life, Li Si said tactfully.I am willing.

Li Luo didn't expect Li Si to have such an idea, he suddenly blushed: "...forget it..forget it. Let's go eat."

"The Korean food near here is highly rated, and the Thai food is also very good. Which one do you want to eat?" Li Si said while using the terminal projection to show Li Luo the menu. "It's all right. I want to eat fish."

Li Si picked Thai food with great interest, and their new robot-flavored mango smoothie was very popular.While eating fish, Li Luo asked Li Si: "Xiao Si, are Ai Li and Sato getting married? They just sent me an invitation letter."

"They will have their wedding in December." Li Si took a sip of the smoothie, and deservedly said, "I just received it too, are you going?"

"Let me check the schedule... are you going?"

"Yes. They asked me to give the speech, and I said yes."

"That's right." The title of major general was placed there to support the scene.Li Luo thought, Zhang Zhan died and Catherine's whereabouts were unknown in the mechanical police force of five of them, "What is the main process of your robot wedding?"

"It's nothing special, it's deeply influenced by humans. There are various customs, depending on the couple's preferences. Sato and the others held an ordinary lakeside wedding, you know, the kind of white wedding dress and suit, flower girls, balloons, etc. .”

"Hmm." That's really human.

After eating and returning home, the two sat on the carpet and played games.Li Luo couldn't beat Li Si all the time, died seven or eight times, and became angry from embarrassment: "Shut down your mechanical brain!"

Li Si thinks this kind of Li Luo is really interesting: "It's because your skills are not as good as mine! I don't use programs at all."

The two were arguing and rolling together, Li Si made trouble with Li Luo to do it again on the sofa, and then they wiped their guns and fired again in the bathroom.After the incident, he hugged Li Luo on the bed, feeling extremely peaceful deep in his heart.When Li Luo did it, he was very relaxed, and Li Si liked it very much, but Li Luo always wanted Li Si to hurt him.This is not a joke, Li Si was afraid that he could not control himself well and really hurt him.

"It's over, there are marks on your neck, they will definitely see it tomorrow."

Li Luo yawned and said it didn't matter: "I thought you wanted them to see it."

"Of course I do. I hope that all the robots in your council find that I'm taking over your nightlife."

"Isn't it all about you? No one will care, okay?"

Alicia's expression of scolding him for being a beast flashed in Li Si's mind: "You might say I'm a gentle scum."

Li Luo smiled.

"That little girl." Li Luo thought for a while, "It's the one you take with you everywhere. Does she like you?"

When Liszt first returned to Versailles, he actually felt that Alicia had feelings for him in that way, but after realizing that Liszt was a scum, he began to let himself go.

"...You think too much. She likes the little boy of the Villefort family, and she realized it in an operation."

Li Luo put his arms around his neck, and Li Si felt that he wanted to do it again, but he pushed Li Luo away: "Quickly sleep, you are going to Cantemira tomorrow."

Li Luo frowned in dissatisfaction. Li Si's biological age was about three years younger than him, and sometimes he suppressed his needs in order to take care of Li Luo.Li Luo didn't want to do this, so he teased him vigorously every time, but after doing this, his tiredness quickly took him away.

Li Si moved the charging cable from his room and lay down quietly beside Li Luo.He only needs three hours of charging time, much shorter than humans.Humans are troublesome and fragile.

He hugged Li Luo.

During the holiday in December, Li Luo actually agreed to go to Sato's wedding with Liszt.Sato's friends sat together noisily, and Eri's guardian family attended in formal attire.Eri has a mother who is the secretary-general of the cabinet, and she also has a robot brother who took her by the hand and gave her to Sato.Oaths, rings, doves flying.On behalf of Sato's friends, that is, Sato's natal family, Liszt congratulated the couple: "Sato is our brave, upright and kind friend..."

Alicia pushed George in the back row: "Boss Li and Li Luo are here together, did you see that?"

"what?"

"Their suits are for couples."

George is a straight man. It is too inhuman for him to distinguish whether two suits of different styles but matching each other are couples. He looked carefully and suddenly said, "I'm afraid Dr. Li is blind."

"What?"

"The flowers on their chests are the same."

The two looked at each other, and the cold wind was blowing.The news was undoubtedly a thunderbolt, and George felt that he wanted to be alone.It's disgusting, how can they be so disgusting.

"It's rumored that Liszt had a guardian, and it was Li Luo." Alicia looked at George's face of "I think you son of a bitch are lying to me", and smiled schemingly.

The party has begun.Li Luo took a glass of champagne for human consumption from the tray and tasted it bit by bit.He greeted and exchanged a few words with Matz Teresa, the only human in the arena.Metz doesn't like to be lively, and speaks in an official tone, revealing a subtext of "please get out of here", so Li Luo doesn't bother her too much.Xiaosi came back, stood beside him, and took a bottle of denatured alcohol.Most of Sato's robot friends are comrades-in-arms. When they found Li Luo, they swarmed over to say hello in human language.

The two stood side by side, and Liszt put his hands on the table behind Li Luo, as if wrapping his arms around Li Luo's waist.

Sato and Ellie walked up to the stage in front of the party room arm in arm, the lights dimmed, and Sato said he would sing a song for everyone - he spoke in human language.Ellie is behind him, sitting in front of a drum kit, Ellie's brother is holding the guitar, and the keyboard next to him is ready--

The crowd began to cheer, and then listened intently:

"I beg you not to see the boy who was indulging in dreams and fantasies

Please see me trying to reach out and touch the unreachable. "

Sato's voice must have been made by the producer with a lot of money.Liszt decided, but the lyrics didn't quite fit the wedding mood.But the so-called robot wedding is just for fun, and the couple don't care about it at all.

He saw Li Luo go out to answer a terminal communication request.Christmas was off, and last Christmas they had both spent time in the ward, and now the party was buzzing with excitement.

What else could happen?

He waited for 10 minutes, but Li Luo still hadn't come back.He lowered his head and opened the terminal. It was Li Luo's message, which was very short:

"Jane Yue is critically ill.

Daishui virus variant.

Central Military Hospital. "

A stone fell in Liszt's heart.

Daishui virus is highly lethal. Human medicine has three viruses that have not yet been conquered, and all three are variants of Daishui virus.Li Qingshu died of the Daishui virus that year.

***

"Mom." She cried in the dream, "Mom, it hurts me!"

"You're so delicate!" Mom shook her head and shook her hand away, "You deserve it!"

Eight-year-old Li Jianyue sat on the ground crying.

Li Jianyue looked at the little girl on the ground, went up and patted her shoulder lightly, trying to make her less sad.

She stood next to her 28-year-old self and watched with cold eyes. Li Qingshu slapped the knife on the dining table: "Ye Hua, you are a fucking bitch. You have never fulfilled your responsibilities as a wife and mother. My son and daughter have grown up to be a piece of shit like you are neurotic..."

"You've lost your mind, Qingshu." Ye Hua stood up calmly, picked up the bag, "My lawyer will explain to you about the division of property and debt."

Ye Hua is very good-looking, if she hadn't been a soldier, she could earn a living by acting.Peach blossom eyes, willow-leaf slender eyebrows, oval face, straight nose bridge, only the temperament between the brows is not angry and majestic, like the sharp teeth of a tiger behind a rose.Li Qingshu and Ye Hua were a pair of golden boys and girls when they were young. After 30 years, they finally turned against each other.Li Jianyue lived with Ye Hua for the first 20 years of her life, and her relationship with Li Qingshu was weak after all.

Li Jianyue walked out of the door in a dream, Li Luo held a mint cigarette in his mouth, and leaned outside the door, holding Li Si's hand, with a very indifferent expression.

Li Jianyue opened her eyes amidst the pain burning her whole body.Her voice was unquestionable: "Let me talk to Li Luo, I need to explain my last words."

"Ma'am, your current physical condition..."

"You have one minute." Her voice was like a gun to the doctor's temple, which was terrifying, "Let me talk to Li Luo."

Even when he was seriously ill, General Li made the doctors around him shudder.He obediently did it, and the entire floor of the Central Military Hospital was sealed off because one of Li Jianyue's troops was bitten by wild bats while passing through the post-war recovery area, and they happened to not notice that it was a batch of damaged Virus-laden wild animals contaminated by biological laboratories. 200 troops, all 200 people are infected.

Li Luo stood in the waiting area for relatives.

He tore off the flowers on his chest, crumpled them up and threw them into the trash can.Li Jianyue's face was pale in the video communication, and her cheeks were flushed red with an abnormal high fever: "Xiao Luo."

"I'm here."

He didn't allow his voice to tremble.

"I can't make it through tonight, Xiao Luo. Daishui is Li Qingshu's own experimental error, and the genes of the Li family can't survive this virus. From now on... take care of yourself."

"Okay. You don't talk. You'll be all right."

Li Jianyue coughed until the oxygen mask was full of blood, "Stop talking nonsense. Take care of Li Si, he is very good to you. My estate will be accounted for by the lawyer. I ask you not to bury me next to Li Qingshu. Put me To be buried with my mother."

Li Qingshu gave her a life, and also gave him Li Jianyue's death without regret.

"Okay." Li Luo closed his eyes hard.He crushed and swallowed all his emotions until his mouth was dripping with blood.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Luo...I want to leave you alone..." The doctor rushed in and locked Li Jianyue into the infectious disease observation room again.Li Luo told himself in his heart that now is not the time to be sad.Li Jianyue needs him.

Li Luo hasn't seen Li Jianyue for two years, meeting again is a parting of life and death.He slid down slowly against the wall. After 2 minutes, he stood up and walked to the observation room to wait for the doctor's trial.

It was 12:30 in the evening when Liszt rushed to the hospital.It took him a while to get away from Sato's party and get everything in order.In the quiet, dimly lit corridor, he found Li Luo, who was sitting in the waiting area with a cold expression.He could feel the heart-piercing tension under Li Luo's surface, as if he strangled the painful self in order to maintain this surface.Daishui virus variant, Li Qingshu used his own blood samples for experiments, the mortality rate of ordinary humans is 60%, and the mortality rate of Li's is 99.87%.He stepped forward, sat aside, and held Li Luo's hand: "Jian Yue will be fine. You still have me."

He repeated it again, as if to confirm whether Li Luo had heard: "You still have me."

Li Luo slammed his head heavily on Li Si's shoulder.Li Si squeezed his hand tightly.

At 17:36 in the morning, Li Jianyue died of illness at the age of [-].

Mark Maryland takes over the military department.In Alicia's words, hanging Li Jianyue's medal in the command center is more deterrent than him.

The author has something to say:

Lyrics from LostStars-Adam Levine

Of course it’s not the original version, it must have changed after such a long time

This article has nothing to do with the song's movie

just the lyrics

Li Jianyue didn't know that her two younger brothers were together until she died.

But she knew that Li Luo was bisexual.

But in fact Li Luo is pansexual, he will like any gender.

Although Li Si's self-cognition, others' cognition and social gender positioning are all male, Li Qingshu's productions are also made according to human males, that is, he can be defined as male in the definition of human society.

But he is not a human being after all. What this article assumes is that the gender of a robot is only "robot" in a biological sense, and the social definition of a robot has no absolute gender.

Here is my answer to a question from a reader of Long Perry about whether a relationship can be based on sexual orientation:

In essence, robots are advanced silicon-based intelligent life, more than 50% of robots are silicon-based life, and the rest are carbon-based life (this is the setting).Robots and robots have thinking, logic, reproductive ability (although in different ways), and social structure. In theory, they are much higher than human beings, and they are very different from objects (pure machinery).

Their genetic information is not a DNA double helix, but transmits genetic information in another form.According to the definition of modern science (that is, the year 2017 AD), the life that does not transmit the double helix of DNA is not life, but all of these are within the scope of carbon base, and the mechanical man/robot is not within this scope.

And the main plot of this article is that robots are fighting for their legitimate rights and interests in human society (robot human rights legislation).

So biologically you can think of them as humans, and we are monkey gorillas.Monkeys enslave human beings with extremely cruel technology, and human beings only want a little bit of reasonable rights and interests in monkey society.So George thinks Liszt is disgusting.He felt that Liszt was a human who fell in love with the bloody ruler (monkey), but this was just the understanding and feelings brought to him by George's broken soul.He cannot, nor is he willing (this is the point) to understand humans.He represents a common phenomenon in robot society.

Liszt has built a soul for himself step by step over the years. He can feel the beauty, complexity and warmth of human nature.He understands the oppressors, so he can lead the robots out of a human society full of oppressive robot souls.

And it was such a soul that attracted Li Luo. Li Luo could see the possibility of the two races living in peace, but he couldn't.

In terms of sexual orientation, as I said before, Liszt is a male in human society (he chooses not to show his more silicon-based intelligent life in front of Li Luo), and the robot society itself has no special gender (and this is Due to the brutal rule of human beings, which will be discussed later).From Liszt's point of view, in human society, Li Luo can accept men, he is bisexual; in robot society, Li Luo accepts other types except men and women, he is pansexual.

So the relationship between these two people is firstly the attraction of the soul, and then Li Luo happens to be able to accept a "person" who is male in human society, and the robot has no general sexual orientation. Liszt likes Li Luo, and his orientation is Li Luo; Eri and Sato like each other, and their orientation is each other.

It can also be understood that after Li Luo accepted Li Si, his sexual orientation became Li Si.

Although their interracial love is very unusual, but they are very harmonious in all aspects, so in fact, their sexuality is not that important in their relationship.
