Flight N-177 slowed down successfully.
The patrol ship of the Pan-Asian First Fleet had set off 11 hours ago and was expected to catch up with them in 48 hours.
At that time, professional pilots would come to take over the flight, and professional equipment would replenish the propellant for the flight and take them home.
On the other side, the passengers who had survived the disaster and the six flight attendants on the flight spontaneously formed a temporary rescue group to maintain order on the flight. They also distributed food and drinking water to the elderly, children, and other passengers.
When Lu Zhou returned to the cabin again, many people gave him hugs and thanked him.
Some people wanted to exchange virtual community accounts with him. However, Lu Zhou, who came from the 21st century, was completely confused about virtual community and the like. In the end, he left a string of penguin accounts that made others even more confused and perfunctorily passed by.
After lunch, Lu Zhou left his seat, got up, and went to the corridor outside the cabin.
The bodies of the two hijackers had been removed. Volunteers composed of passengers dragged them to the already empty robot rest area.
As for the pile of robot wreckage on the ground, no one touched them. It seemed that they intended to hand them over to their owners and the Pan-Asian authorities.
It didn't take long for Lu Zhou to find the rusty old robot.
In the previous battle, the hijacker wearing the exoskeleton armor had completely destroyed it in a brutal way, so there was only a pile of wreckage lying there.
However, even so, Lu Zhou still wanted to thank it.
"Thank you."
Looking at the robot body that could no longer move, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and mourned for it for a while.
Although the time they spent together was very short and there was no dialogue, in these short few days, it had saved him twice.
Maybe it was because he had spent too much time with Xiao Ai, but he always felt like he couldn't completely treat human-like AI like machines.
How should I put it?
It's like seeing your own child.
"Woo woo …"
On the way back to the cabin, Lu Zhou saw a seven or eight-year-old girl with a cute ponytail. She was wiping her tears with her little hands and squatting on the ground, sobbing softly.
Lu Zhou squatted down in front of her and asked in a comforting tone.
"Lost with your family?"
"My tail … she … she's broken."
"… Tail?"
Looking up at Lu Zhou, the little girl nodded with tears in her eyes. She opened her clenched right fist, revealing the memory card-like thing in her palm.
"Tail … is Lili's good friend. Every time I am sad, she will sing for me and comfort me."
As she spoke, the little girl's voice became even sadder.
She sniffed, looked down at the memory card in her hand, and spoke in a choked voice.
"… Don't worry. When Lili returns to Earth and has enough pocket money, I will definitely fix you. When the time comes, I'll get you a more beautiful one … "
Lu Zhou: "…"
Originally, he thought that "tail" was something, but he didn't expect it to be a robot.
Thinking about how in order to save him, the robot sent by Xiao Ai activated all the robots on the entire ship, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If only he had money now.
If he had money, he would compensate her with the most expensive configuration.
Unfortunately, the little money he had on him was borrowed from a British guy. After the flight arrived, he didn't know how much of his "inheritance" he would inherit.
"If your tail knew that you were so sad because of her, it would definitely be very sad …" Lu Zhou, who was squatting in front of the little girl, touched her head and gave her a reassuring smile. "Go find your parents, they are worried about you."
"Yeah …"
Perhaps she was infected by the sunny and handsome smile, the little girl nodded. Although there were still tears in her eyes, she was much better than before.
She stood up and patted the corner of her skirt. She bowed her head politely to Lu Zhou. After saying thank you, she ran away in the direction of the cabin.
Looking at the little girl's back, Lu Zhou thought for a while and returned to the previous pile of machine wreckage.
After fumbling on it for a while, he pulled out a black cuboid about the size of a harmonica and a similar shape from the chest of the broken robot.
"Is this a memory card?"
It looked much heavier than the one in the little girl's hand, but the interface and shape were basically the same.
Is it because the machine is too old?
"… When we return to Earth, I'll give you a new body."
At least change to the kind that can talk.
Of course, the premise is that I have to save enough money first …
After standing in the corridor for a while, Lu Zhou, who had nothing else to do, looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then turned around and returned to the cabin.
When he returned to the cabin, the people had finally vented their joy of surviving the disaster. They no longer whistled at him or did things that, although they were kind, troubled him.
After returning to his seat and sitting down, Lu Zhou took off the brain-computer neural interface from the seat. He was about to connect to the database on the computer and continue to recharge his knowledge.
However, at this moment, not far from his seat, a woman with a beautiful face and a mature feminine charm settled the baby in her swaddling clothes, got up from her seat, and walked towards him.
"I want to say thank you."
Lu Zhou looked up at her and recognized this woman. It was the mother he had saved earlier.
"You're welcome." Lu Zhou looked at her and asked casually, "Speaking of which, where is your husband?"
"I don't have a husband."
"Sorry, I asked a heavy question."
"It's not what you think." The mature woman smiled and said, "Speaking of which, sir, are you a dormant?"
Professor Leonard on the side furrowed his eyebrows wildly. Lu Zhou didn't know what he wanted to express, but after thinking about it, he gave an ambiguous answer.
"… You can even tell that?"
"Many dormant people who have been frozen for a long time will have a lot of confusion about the morality and values of the current society after waking up, especially in terms of marriage and family."
"For example?"
"For example, in this era, there is no longer the traditional concept of family as there was a century ago. Although some people would still get married, most people would still be more inclined to live alone and have a docile robot companion. As for love, there are many similar substitutes in the virtual world. "
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Leonard and cast an unexpected look at him.
Professor Leonard shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
"She's right. About half a century ago, the old ways were no longer popular. My father gave birth to me at the age of fifty through artificial organs and scientific means. I don't have a mother, but I probably know that my egg donor is a woman of Italian descent, but I have never seen her. "
Lu Zhou didn't expect this guy to have such a past. He looked at Professor Leonard dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say.
"This is too …"
"If you want to sympathize with me, forget it. I think this is actually quite good. Everyone is like this. If it were a two-parent family, it would be very special. "
Lu Zhou opened his mouth, but he still couldn't understand this strange concept.
He thought that his point of view was already relatively advanced. He could accept not marrying for a lifetime, and he thought that there was no need to choose someone he didn't love just to continue his DNA. However, he still couldn't accept this casual family concept.
Can a child without a father or mother really have a healthy and complete childhood?
He always felt that if he had to deprive someone of something that should have belonged to them from the beginning, it was better not to let it come into this world in the first place.
This was both a responsibility for himself and a responsibility for the child.
However, in this era, things that he couldn't understand seemed to have become a common thing.
His mind was a little messy. His intuition told him that this was not a good idea, but after all, philosophy was beyond his professional scope. He couldn't tell why it was bad.
"Of course, nothing is absolute. There are also many couples who will walk into the hall of marriage, but today's society is more tolerant. It does not exclude or persecute those who disagree."
The lady with a mature feminine charm turned her head and threw a smile at Lu Zhou.
"And, after seeing you, I feel like I believe in love again."
Is this …
Flirting with me?
Lu Zhou vaguely read a trace of enthusiasm in her eyes. He hesitated slightly and said with confusion in his eyes, "But you don't even know my name."
"Things like a name are just a code. What I value more is your maturity, steadiness, reliability, and … Uh, masculinity? In any case, you're different from the sissy next to you. I quite like you. "
Upon hearing this sentence, Professor Leonard was suddenly unhappy and retorted.
"What do you mean sissy? You don't see it with your eyes — "
Ignoring Professor Leonard, the woman took a step closer with a smile, looked at Lu Zhou, and continued.
"At that time, only you stood up bravely and saved me and my child, and the little girl who helped me, didn't you? If you can — "
"Sorry, I already have someone I like."
Although she, like everyone else, had become a memory of the times …
She was a little surprised by Lu Zhou's answer, and a surprised expression appeared on her mature face.
But very quickly, that surprise turned into a bright smile. She continued.
She continued, "If you think the shackles of the heart are too heavy, I don't mind developing another relationship with you."
Lu Zhou: "Sorry, I mind."
Woman: "…"
