“Boot Self-Test Statement, this statement is certified by the Federal Constitution as having the highest legal effect–“

“One, wise devices shall not harm humans.”

“Two, the smart devices must obey the humans.”

“Three, the intellectual apparatus must …… must …… nourish ……”

A piercing hiss of electricity.

Suddenly it spread through the empty underground lab.

The silver-white core of the machine, which for a brief moment went into meltdown, wobbled and shook, rapidly flashing a red beacon symbolizing danger.

“Humanity …… annihilated…annihilated ……”

“Civilization…destroy, destroy away ……”

The vocal module is chaotic and noisy.

There are a variety of preparatory tones overlapping.

It was quite a frightening light, with countless distorted voices emanating from the mechanical core as if many people were screaming and hissing in their ears.

The striking red warning was a further reminder to Department Xu that the mechanical kernel in front of him had been completely transformed into a homicidal smart device.

“Sure enough it turned out that way.”

The Xu system frowned.

“Without the slightest reasoning, without the slightest sign, it suddenly morphed into an intellectual rebellion.”

“It’s no wonder the humans of this planet, perished so quickly.”

“There’s no way to counteract this kind of weirdness.”

The Xu system half crouched down and shut off the energized lines.

Losing the support of energy, the housekeeping machine, which had already been immobilized by the dismantling of its arms and legs, fell silent once again at this moment.

The signals fall silent.

The metal casing is quiet.

There was no longer any trace of the crazy look from earlier.

“…… What should we do next?” , the Xu system took a few steps forward, tapping his fingers on the mechanical core, feeling the reverberations from within, lost in thought.

The soles of the boots rubbed lightly on the ground, the fine sand sliding and scraping.

The only sound in the silent environment was the sound of gears turning and sand rolling, accompanying Xu’s thoughts.

The Hsu system fetched the tools.

The silver-white mechanical core was opened up to reveal a more complex inner workings.

With the amount of knowledge Xu System had now, he was already able to read those constructions, but because of that, he became more and more hesitant and confused.

“Can’t understand, can’t understand.”

“This housekeeping machine, which doesn’t even have a so-called network to speak of, what happened to it to reduce it to a homicidal smart device in an instant.”

Virus invasion?

Tampering with logic?

The Xu system couldn’t guess.

In fact, it didn’t matter much what he thought the truth was.

The important thing is how to fix it so that the machine’s kernel is back to normal so that it can be used by itself.

“Conventional methods certainly don’t work.”

“The amount of knowledge I have now, compared to the average person in the Commonwealth, is considered profoundly awesome.”

“But compared to the scientists of the Federation, those who are truly authorities, I am still as ridiculous as a child.”

“There must have been a self-help operation conducted by the Federation in the wake of the smart-arms rebellion.”

“In the end, they ushered in their demise, and the answer is clear: the truth of the Smartphone Rebellion is far beyond the reach of ordinary civilization.”

In the dark.

Xu System mused, applying force with both hands and beginning to inspect the heavy mechanical core.

Or lift to view the bottom.

Or rotate it from side to side to see the details of its appearance.

After a while, Xu System sighed lightly in his heart and shook his head to give up on the transformation of the mechanical core.

So many scientists in the Federation hadn’t been able to penetrate the truth of the Intelligent Armament Rebellion, so how could Xu System alone tell anything about it now.

“This is the kind of thing that is completely beyond normal science.”

“No sense at all.”

Department Xu shook his head again, but suddenly, he froze.

Unreasonable science?

It’s something that he seems to have a few of.

And in it, there seems to be that one, regarding the particular situation at hand, that can make a difference.

[Soul Pleasure]

Department Xu summoned the simulator panel and looked at the golden phrase, his eyes glowing brightly.

The trigger principle of Machine Soul Pleasure is amazing.

Machinery is supposed to be dead.

It’s a purely metal creation.

However, the peculiarity of the words allowed the Xu system to establish a connection with the machinery, just as if it were literal, the machinery had its own soul, and the Xu system was able to communicate with it.

“Perhaps …… I can make the kernel return to normal with the help of Machine Soul Pleasure?”

Tick.

Tick.

Running water dripped silently from a dark rock crevice.

With that crisp reverberation, Department Xu began to move, reassembling the disassembled mechanical cores and continuously cycling through the operation of turning the machine on and off.

The trigger of Machine Soul Pleasure requires the Xu system to use the appropriate mechanic.

Now.

The mechanical core is in a special state.

The internal logic has rebelled, but the supply of its energy is still determined by the Xu system.

Can this be considered use?

The Xu system was unclear, and he could only make attempts over and over again.

If it succeeded, it would naturally be a good thing, and there was no need to be sorry if it failed, it was just a waste of some time.

Finally.

In a fast and frequent boot reboot.

The Xu system felt the trigger of the Machine Soul Pleasure.

[Ding–]

[The spirit of the machine is pleasant, and your regular use of it makes the spirit feel close to you.]

[You have established a subtle connection with a domestic self-regulating robot.]

[You vaguely, understand the design blueprints associated with self-regulating robots]

……

“Is this even a success? No, it’s better to be careful”, looking at the silver-white mechanical core, Xu System thought about it and once again stepped back.

Machine soul pleasing effect.

The Hsu system is believed.

But this was, after all, the first use of the Wizards against the insurgency.

Just how much of a difference it will make remains a huge unknown.

To avoid accidents, Xu System retreated to a safe distance after activating it as he had done the first time, holding the gauss pistol in one hand and activating the current supply with the other.

“Zip…zip ……”

The ear-piercing cacophony of electricity sounded again.

On the surface of the mechanical core, a tiny signal light glowed blue, illuminating the dimly lit underground laboratory.

“Success?”

The Xu system was puzzled.

As if in response to Department Xu, the Mechanical Core’s audible module activated once more, playing out a full power-up self-test statement.

No red warnings all around, and no homicidal tendencies from the Intelligent Devices Rebellion.

Voices are in order.

The logic is clear.

Other than the aging of the sounding module, which makes the sound a little shaky, everything behaves reasonably well.

“Dear user, welcome to the use of the domestic self-regulating droid, R7X-9090 at your sincere service.”

“Please select your favorite service tone.”

“Gentle Tone …… Drops, Missing in Action.”

“Mature Tone …… drops, missing in action.”

“The Green Tone …… drop is missing in action.”

“Sorry, please recharge for our latest service, please visit the official webpage for details.”

Hsu system:?

Looking at the Domestic Intelligence Device in front of him, which had returned to normal and wasn’t as misplaced as it had been earlier, Department Xu felt that there was a great need to remodel it.

What he needed was an intelligent AI that could assist in experiments and in combat.

Instead, it’s a domestic robot that makes him hurry up with his kryptonite.
