Chapter 3, A Fortuitous Windfall (3)

Of course, because you are so impressive and remarkable! Just as Pei Shao was about to blurt out this statement, he fortunately hit the brakes at a critical moment. He said without blinking an eye, "Because I want to explore the mysteries of life with you!"

At that moment, the castle, which was about to speak, suddenly dimmed its once brilliant electronic eyes. The unique, rich, and dynamic metallic synthesized voice also gradually began to diminish

"Why can't it appear on carbon-based civilizations?" Regarding his home planet, Pei Shao also argued vigorously.

Long live! Pei Shao cheered inwardly. "By the way, Mr. Castle, I just thought of a question. Do you think you could..."

Isn't it the thing I picked up yesterday? Hmph, isn't it just a spark? Pei Shao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Isn't this just similar to Transformers?"

Oh, very well! That matrix cube, why did it suddenly disappear after creating you? Is it out of energy?

Could it be that it has run out of power? Pei Shao, in a state of panic and sweating profusely, suddenly had a flash of insight in his mind, "Just now, it seemed to have asked me if it could be charged. Does this mean that if it does not have enough power, it cannot operate normally? Just like our carbon-based life forms, the human body must drink water to sustain itself?" As Pei Shao pondered this, he quickly rummaged through his belongings and took out the original phone box, which contained the charger and the accompanying data cable. Just like our carbon-based life forms, the human body must drink water to sustain itself?" As Pei Shao pondered this, he quickly rummaged through his belongings and took out the original phone box, which contained the charger and the accompanying data cable.

Why? At this moment, the electronic eyes of the castle still retain a hint of hostility, although it has diminished significantly compared to before

What is going on? Pei Shao was taken aback. He was more anxious than when he was sick; he had finally managed to establish some contact with the bizarre silicon-based beings of the castle, and now suddenly they were about to short-circuit? Oh heavens, please do not play tricks on me... Pei Shao looked at the increasingly dim electronic eyes of the castle, feeling more and more at a loss.

The advanced life form characteristics of carbon-based evolution are mammals, while the advanced life form characteristics of silicon-based evolution are viviparity. In other words, each of you humans, as advanced life forms, has a corresponding maternal body, but for us silicon-based beings, there is only one maternal body, which is the 'Mother of Silicon'

When he had everything sorted out and turned his gaze back to the castle, it had transformed from the shape of a robot back into that of a mobile phone. Pei Shao did not hesitate to immediately take out the charger, prying open the end of the phone. Fortunately, although the appearance of the castle had changed, the charging port was still exactly the same as before.

Because your carbon-based life and our silicon-based life had a great war tens of thousands of years ago, with the battlefield being the universe. From the remnants of the 'Mother of Silicon,' I have also learned that this war severely depleted the vitality of both sides. After the war ended, both parties detonated several stars in the universe using black hole bombs, clearing a corridor that is several dozen light-years wide, devoid of any positive matter. Furthermore, both sides agreed to rest and recuperate from then on, living out their lives without further interaction. The castle spoke very seriously, but to Pei Shao, it sounded like an incomprehensible scripture.

As soon as the castle, restored to the form of the robot hetushucomcom, opened its electronic eyes, it saw Pei Shao's unmistakable expression. A fleeting look of gratitude crossed his face. Pei Shao hurriedly asked with concern: "How do you feel? Mr. Castle, are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"What the hell! An IQ over 300, can they still be called Earthlings?" Pei Shao thought to himself, feeling quite displeased. However, what surprised him even more at that moment was that the castle could accurately state his IQ. Although an IQ of 125 is not considered genius, it had at least allowed him to boast about it for a while during his university days. Now, however, it was preceded by a modifier in the other party's words, 'merely.' This IQ of 125, while not genius, had once given him a sense of pride in his university class. Yet now, it was belittled by the term 'merely' in the other party's mouth. Pei Shao truly felt like crying without tears.

"Alright, I promise you!" the castle said faintly

Pei Shao took a long breath only after plugging the charger into the power source. However, his expression began to tense up, hoping that all his speculations were correct. Otherwise, having lost the castle, Pei Shao truly did not know whether he would feel even more depressed in the months to come

Oh! If I still don't understand such a simple matter, wouldn't that make me a fool? Pei Shao thought to himself

"You did well!" The castle's casual compliment made Pei Shao excitedly dance with joy. "Then, how about I take charge of charging you from now on?" After his excitement, Pei Shao immediately said, seemingly afraid that the castle would not agree.

Although the castle is considered a highly advanced life form, it still lacks sufficient understanding of the cunning side of humans on Earth. Upon hearing Pei Shao's words, it immediately displayed an expression of appreciation. Of course, this expression was fleeting.

You may also refer to it as a matrix cube At this moment, the castle closes its eyes to recharge, yet its mouth remains active

Rest assured! Pei Shaohui waved his hand, displaying an attitude of indifference, and said: "Humans on Earth have not even managed to create a spacecraft capable of leaving the solar system, let alone any cosmic wars."

Thank heavens! Pei Shao stared intently at the castle that was undergoing changes, nearly jumping up in joy

Although he does not yet fully possess it, his erudition has long left Pei Shao in complete admiration.

I just want to ask about that... um, the spark from yesterday...

You may speak! This time, the castle's attitude has finally undergone a slight change. However, even this small change is enough to keep Pei Shao excited for several days.

Finally, after enduring a few minutes that felt as long as a century, Pei Shao once again heard that delightful "chih chih ka ka" sound

However, it is not entirely the same! The castle looked at Pei Shao with great dissatisfaction, and the pair of powerful, flickering electronic eyes made Pei Shao involuntarily shiver. "The small piece you picked up yesterday is merely one billionth of the energy from the Silicon Mother, which is equivalent to 1000 cubed. Due to certain special reasons, these energy fragments that make up the Silicon Mother are distributed across various corners of the universe. What surprises me is that one of these fragments actually appeared on a planet with a very primitive carbon-based civilization."

However, the castle paid no attention to Pei Shao's expression and continued to explain: "With your current level of intelligence, I can only explain it this way. Silicon-based life refers to life that has evolved from silicon atoms. Similarly, carbon-based life, which includes you Earthlings, has evolved from carbon atoms"
