Chapter 185: Robot Kingdom [Part 1] (2/2)

Carl continued to smile gently. After the brief introduction, he said, “Please follow me, everyone.”

A s.p.a.ceplane descended from the sky following Carl’s voice. Carl made an inviting gesture, but he did not follow the group into the s.p.a.ceplane. The s.p.a.ceplane had a pilot inside already.

The s.p.a.ceplane flew away when both squadrons had gone up the vehicle. Meanwhile, Carl leaped into the flying car he sat in before and followed them from behind.

The destination of the s.p.a.ceplane was a village-like place. Here, there were no high rise buildings, and no atmosphere of bustling cities like other planets. It looked more like an isolated world.

The group were all a little amazed by the sight before them.

The ‘men’ carried many bags of packed crops into the warehouse. The ‘women’ were bantering with each other and drying clothes beside pomegranate trees. The ‘children’ were playing games in groups, running everywhere with soil stuck on their bodies.

“They’re all…” Cary looked a little suspicious.

“They are all robots.” Eudy said.

“They’re all robots?!” Tang Qiuqiu stared curiously at every person on both sides of the street. These ‘people’ looked different from the robots she’d seen before. Don’t they look a little too… real?!

“Wah——”

A child’s cry broke through the air. Several kids had accidentally kicked another kid while they were playing, and as a consequence the kid who was kicked did not s.n.a.t.c.h the playing card he wanted in time.

The crying sound was truly indistinguishable from the real one, drawing tears from anyone who heard it and shocking those who learned about it. The tears in the kids’ eyes were especially realistic, smearing his already dusty and soil stained face even dirtier than before.

“Are they… really… robots?” Cary asked again.

This time, Eudy and Beaver fell silent too.

A man walked out of the house because of the kid’s cries and picked him up from the ground. He wiped the tears from the kid’s face and tried to calm him down with a smile. He handed over a playing card to the kid, and finally the kid who had cried so hard that his face was swollen red finally broke into a smile.

Eudy and the others continued to maintain their silence. Even Shawton did not dare to guess recklessly, or it would be embarra.s.sing if they made a mistake.

Carl who was leading the way in front simply smiled faintly at the sight. He continued to guide them forwards.

When he pa.s.sed by the chair the kid had sat down on earlier, Cillin extended a hand and wiped the tear of the crying kid that had been left behind on the chair seemingly at random.

“What is it? Did you find something?” Cary moved over and saw the water on Cillin’s hand, “Is that a tear?”

The gray cat that was originally lying on Cillin’s shoulders grew energetic and stretched its neck over. Seeing this, Cillin wiped part of the tear on his finger directly onto the gray cat’s whiskers.

The gray cat shook its head in disdain, ‘Tsk, water.”

“Yes, water. That is all there is to it.” Cillin said.

Cary didn’t quite come to realisation just yet, “What do you guys mean?”

Tico, dressed in a big white coat walked over and explained, “If it just just water, then that kid just now really is a robot. A human’s tear does not contain just water. If we are to categorise them, they can be differentiated into basic types, reflexive types, emotional types and so on. For example, the tears leaked when a person is sad or moved are different. The composition of the tear is different. Be it the metallic elements such as sodium, pota.s.sium, manganese etc or enzymes, the composition of a tear is different depending on the situation.”

This was the complexity of a human being. Unlike human beings, a robot could only leak water from their eyes no matter how realistic they appeared to be. They were not as complex as a human’s tear.

“I see.” Cary nodded in understanding.

“Even so, Robert Family’s robots are just too shocking.” Eudy lamented. It was real, too real. The sensation of touch and the blue veins popping from the ‘man’s’ arm when he held up the kid looked very realistic.

However, they were all robots. In Robert Family’s robot kingdom, every ‘person’ here could instantly change modes and transform into a combat tool that was no less dangerous than the Third Squad and Sixth Squad’s combat personnel if needed.

This was just the robots in Robert Frentz’s robot kingdom. What about the domain of other members of the Robert Family? Did they look about the same as well?

“Robots like these could sell for at least eight figures per unit outside.” Beaver said. He was aware of the Robert Family’s special robots’ selling price at least.

“Maybe we can buy an arm if we sell me.” Cary mumbled to himself.
