螺丝咕姆的留言 Screwllum's Message

螺丝星贵族给下层区守护者的一份留言，探讨了雅利洛-Ⅵ上机器人发展为「硅基生命」的可能性。 A message from the aristocrat of Planet Screwllum to the Guardian of the Underworld, discussing the possibility of robots on Jarilo-VI developing into "sil

致雅利洛-Ⅵ的史瓦罗先生：

To Mr Svarog of Jarilo-VI:

我的名字是螺丝咕姆，来自距您所在的星球十分遥远的螺丝星。此次远程留言属我一时起意，形式上难免无礼唐突，望海涵。

My name is Screwllum. I come from Planet Screwllum, a world that is at a considerable distance from yours. I am writing this message spurred on by a sudden inspiration and it may be overly familiar: I do hope you will forgive me for any offense caused.

我通过星际和平网络的直播业务观看了本届「星际决胜庆典」。请您不要误会，以太战线这一游戏本身对我而言不甚有趣；若非一位星核猎手旧友的坚持，我恐怕不会将宝贵的时间用于观赛。但这次观赛经历却给我带来了意外之喜——它令我注意到了雅利洛-Ⅵ这颗星球。更准确地说，它令我注意到了贵星球上「硅基生命」的萌芽迹象。

I watched this season's broadcast of the "Interastral Tournament Festival" on the Interastral Peace Network. Please do not misunderstand me, I have very little interest in the Aetherium Wars game itself. If it weren't for an old Stellaron Hunter friend of mine's persistence, I would not waste my precious time watching the festival. However, this viewing experience delivered me an unexpected surprise... It allowed me to learn of your planet, Jarilo-VI. To be more precise, I learned of the signs of budding "silicon-based life forms" on your planet.

在多数文明中，硅基构造仅作为工具而存在；相信于您所在的世界，当地居民亦支持这一观点。然而，银河中确实存在可被定义为「活体」的硅基构造，亦有少数文明是由这些「硅基生命」所构建、主宰的——我的家乡螺丝星就是其中之一。

Within a large number of civilizations, silicon-based structures exist solely as tools: I believe that this view is supported by the locals of your world also. However, within the cosmos there are in fact silicon-based structures that can be defined as "living bodies." A number of civilizations are also built and ruled over by these "silicon-based life forms"... My home, Planet Screwllum, is one such example.

究竟在经历何种奇迹的洗礼后，硅基构造体才能迸发出「生命」的进化之火——这是我长久以来研究的课题之一。而今，在雅利洛-Ⅵ这颗星球上正在发生某种变化，缓慢且曼妙。希望终有一日，当星星点点的进化之火以燎原之势集聚后，我与您之间能够以「兄弟」互称。

Just what kind of miraculous baptism could lead to these silicon-based structures bursting out in the evolutionary flame that is "life"... This is one of the questions that I have been researching for a long time. Now, this kind of change is taking place on Jarilo-VI, slowly and miraculously. It is my hope that one day, as these scattered flames of evolution slowly gather together like a flame across the land, we will come to call each other "brothers."

您谦恭的「天才」朋友，

Your humble "genius" friend,

螺丝咕姆
