On the long table was a pile of documents taken from Serra. Colonel William and Lieutenant Colonel Charles were arguing over a certain issue. The latter was not impatient. After listening to William for a while, he decisively took out a pen and paper and started Calculations, a brief conflict quickly dissipated. Charles has a tolerant personality, otherwise he would not have worked with Colonel William for many years.
Several people on the side heard their argument and thought it was a good idea, they joined in the calculation one after another, and even took out their optical brains for analysis.
"Can I take a look at these?" Ryan didn't approach the long table, he stood two meters away and looked at Auston questioningly.
Alston nodded, and led him to the long table, "You may be able to provide some new ideas."
Just at this time, the idea put forward by Colonel William was proved to be wrong after calculation and optical brain analysis, and everyone couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces. They have experienced disappointment many times, but they have never been so uncomfortable and hated as now. The general's mecha was installed with a self-destruct device under their noses. They are too credulous in people and their own abilities... This time Lessons are like a blow to the head, a slap in the face, and it wakes people up.
"It's just for Ryan to see that young people have flexible minds, and they might be able to think of new thinking directions." Colonel William suppressed his inner irritability, looked at his capable general Ryan, and hoped that this young man who had repeatedly surprised himself could come back again. Surprise yourself one at a time.
Ryan picked up the notebook closest to him, and opened it, which recorded many problems Sierra encountered at work and the ways to solve them. Sierra's behavior is disgusting, but his professional ability is unquestionable. A master-level mech restorer, his work experience is very precious. After flipping through a few pages, Ryan raised his head and asked, "How to deal with these materials in the future?"
Colonel William bit his pipe and said meaningfully: "When Serra disembarks, he will return empty-handed."
Ryan smiled and said nothing. Although his actions were a little unscrupulous, soldiers never tire of deceit. Sera is unkind, so don't blame others for being unrighteous.
I have read some materials about the research of the self-destruct device by Colonel William. The self-destruct device installed on the code-named zero nerve center has a total of 24 layers of codes. The first layer of codes is simply two digits, and the second layer is four digits. number, the third layer is eight digits, and so on, the number of digits of the password on the twenty-fourth layer is 16777216, and it will take a lot of work to enter the corresponding passwords on each grid, unless you find a secret key. way, otherwise it is difficult to deduce. And the codebook doesn't know, maybe it's numbers, maybe it's Chinese characters, maybe it's letters, maybe it's Roman characters... maybe it's not words at all, but pictures.
Ryan saw Colonel William and the others trying to open the self-destruct device and crack it from the inside.
But Colonel William said helplessly that this method is not feasible if the tools are not in hand.
"All the parts on the shell of the self-destruct device are one-third standard. This is not the standard for general mechanical parts. It is only used by some small workshops." Only some toy manufacturers want to ensure that their simple, low-end toys do not Only parts smaller than standard screws and nuts will be used after being disassembled. The small and weirdly shaped one-third standard size is their first choice. "The tools on the ship are for the standard number, one-half standard number, three-quarters standard number, and even one-eighth standard number tools for small medical-grade mechs, but there are no one-third standard number tools. Yes, all the mechanical repairers and armor repairers on the ship have already inquired, and one-eighth of the small tools are the private possession of a certain soldier."
The prairie lions are also locked in cages to fight trapped beasts. William is now trapped in a small space and struggles, but he can't find a way to unlock it. The guilt of having high hopes for oneself but being helpless.
There is no way to crack the password, and it doesn’t matter if you can remove the outer shell of the self-destruct device. As long as you enter the interior of the self-destruct device, be careful and cautious, there is always a way to crack it from the inside.
However, Serra blocked this road, at least until Xing Tian Ship returned to the base, there was no way to dismantle it. The current situation is changing too fast. If you don't take the initiative in your own hands, three months will be fatal.
The damn thing is that when the Xingtian ship set off on the last supply ship before returning to its voyage, it didn't know that the ship needed tools for the third standard number, otherwise it could have been brought over.
In the vast universe, the distance is calculated in light years. It is impossible to ask the supply ship halfway to turn around and go back to get the tools before returning. The hundreds of thousands of people on the ship will starve for a long time. It is conducive to the stability of the military spirit on the ship.
Ryan: "..." Under his calm appearance, his heart was full of indescribable words. He looked up at the code-named Zero who was kneeling, but what he thought of in his mind was Yuanyuan who had already climbed up. There are several sets of small tools installed on the shell, such as standard size, half standard size, third standard size, etc. Why is there the last one? He considers that after the child is born, the little guy’s toys may need Transformation, so after finding the only one-third standard tool in the warehouse, it was installed.
I have some bad premonitions, I hope Yuanyuan will not rush forward and act without authorization.
"Wait a minute." Ryan interrupted Colonel William and wanted to continue to express his helplessness. He nodded apologetically, and rushed to Code Zero quickly. After a short run-up, he jumped, jumped onto Code Zero's knee, and jumped onto his shoulder with his strength. When he came to the back of code-named zero, those who walked a few steps inside and stood on the ground could no longer see him.
The underground people either prefer to be civil servants and have seldom exercised intensively, or they know that they are not as brave as they were when they were young. Looking at Ryan's vigorous figure, they are more or less envious.
After turning around and exhorting a few words, Orston followed in Ryan's footsteps and boarded Code Zero.
The few people present knew the inside story, and knew that the young couple had another relationship besides the general and the soldier, so they showed tacit smiles.
Colonel William sighed, "It's better to be young."
"William, if you let your hair stop the sweat from evaporating, and throw your stinky sweat on us when you swing your arms, be careful that we will beat you."
William rubbed his hairy arm with water in his hand, "This is what I grew up with naturally, what can I do? Could it be a hair removal operation?"
"Why not? With so much hair, your wife doesn't even say you prick me!"
William snorted twice, fully showing the demeanor of a lion. As long as he doesn't get stuck in password cracking, his combat effectiveness will explode. If he starts to chug, the group in front of him will be scum. Just as he was about to speak, a dry towel was handed over to him. Lieutenant Colonel Charles said without raising his head, "Although arguing at this time relieved everyone's tense emotions, it was also easy to interrupt the train of thought. What do you think, Colonel?"
William hummed twice again, took the towel and wiped his hands, and then died down.
"Charles has a way."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to cooperate for so many years. I would be crazy if I was William's deputy for a day."
"... We seem to be his subordinates."
"..."
On the back of code-named zero, the space is relatively cramped. When Auston went up, he saw Ryan sitting cross-legged next to the "Mechanical Heart", with the small mech beside him, and his movements were exactly the same. After seeing what the little mech was doing, his face changed slightly, and he didn't make a sound to disturb.
The breastplate of the small mech was opened, and two wires were pulled out. One was connected to the nerve center code-named zero, which was reading the information in the code-named zero system, and the other was connected to the self-destruct device, quickly calculating the dismantling method. A pair of eyes of the little mech flashed yellow light at a very fast frequency, proving that his system was operating extremely fast. While reading the information, he was analyzing and dismantling the self-destruct device at the same time. The fingertips of his small right hand opened a small hole, Screwdrivers with "- -", "=", and twisted hexagonal shapes appeared continuously, entering the core area of the self-destruct device layer by layer.
Orston stood on one side without making a sound, and Ryan, who was still focused on watching the dismantling process, moved to the side to make room for Orston to sit down. After Alston sat down, the inside of the palm-sized self-destruct device appeared in front of his eyes. The metal wires in the black self-destruct device criss-crossed. Serra expected that someone would dismantle it, so the wiring was messy, complicated, and suspicious. True and false, removing a wrong piece of metal plate, cutting a wrong thread may activate the self-destruct device.
Often, the moment people turn on the self-destruct device, they stop.
But the original is not a human being, he is a thoughtful AI, without so many worries and ideas, he will never stop when he says it needs to be dismantled, he will do it directly.
"Let me tell you a little secret now. The gift from the empire has begun to remove the second layer of wrapping paper." Ryan grabbed Auston's hand with a little nervousness, and he took the initiative to say, "This gift is a bit special. The real appearance of the inner core may not be the one you want. It is not so beautiful, not so precious, and maybe it still bears a dark and heavy past. Are you willing to continue exploring? By the way, the gift is accepted You can’t return the product once you get it in your hands, Oston, I’m giving you two options now, do you choose to continue dismantling it, or stop here?” Stop now, then Ryan is still Ryan.
Auston took a deep look at Ryan. This young and gentle man has been surprising him since the first meeting. He can be shy because of kisses, and he can cook all kinds of delicacies. A small strange planet can search for a lot of food that can be eaten; his restrained and shy personality will never affect his ability to judge, he will act decisively and fiercely, and he will not be muddled when encountering problems; , the strong side is hidden under a low-key and calm... Not wanting to lose the truth after retreating, Auston chooses to continue, he loves every kind of Ryan.
"About Yuanyuan?" Oston looked at the small mech with a small strawberry pattern on his shoulders, and guessed, "His arrival is extraordinary? Yuanyuan, do these two words have any special meaning? I remember 'yuanyuan' 'It once appeared in a document that was born seven hundred years ago. It was the diary of the traitor Tyrell, which recorded in detail the process of his psychological changes when he wanted to assassinate Emperor Qin Feng Anderson. Why is Little Strawberry called Yuan Chu?"
This book is one of the important documents for the study of Emperor Qin Feng. In the book, the word "Yuan Chu" appears three times. It seems that it was written casually and has no special meaning.
"It was originally a very old artificial intelligence. He didn't like changing his name. As for whether he has anything to do with the old people seven hundred years ago, that's a gift that will be unwrapped later. The program written by the maker is self-growth, He didn't inhibit the development of artificial intelligence, so he liked to learn at first, and he can improve himself through learning. The system is full of wisdom, which is better than many AIs with suppression programs installed today." Ryan's smiling expression remained unchanged, and he talked about I discovered the original process by myself, "When you go home, you will know that the planting star in my house is quite large, and the ocean accounts for 60% of the surface area of the planting star. The land part has forest lakes, mountains and snowfields. Followed my parents to run around planting stars, raised alpine cattle on the grassland at an altitude of 4,000 meters, planted radish in the sandy land in the coastal area, picked stone fungus on the cliff, collected wild honey in the old forest in the deep mountains... "
Before getting into the topic, he first talked about his own farm, which is just the most common job on the planting star. After Ryan's description, it is full of joy of life and makes people yearn for it.
He continued: "I remember when I was three and a half years old, I followed my parents into the woods to pick mushrooms. I walked into a small cave and found a small box inside. After opening the box with some means, I became the original, exactly. Said it contained the original hard drive. He lay quietly in the box, and waited a long, long time before he was found to start up again."
"The way to activate it is to be installed in a non-waterproof babysitting robot." Yuan Yuan listened to it all the time, complaining in a cool voice with no ups and downs.
"It was the only humanoid machine I could touch at the age of three." It was the best machine Little Ryan could find.
Yuan Chu said: "So I enjoy doing housework very much, and I also milk cows under the instructions of your mother, sir. Unfortunately, the machine is not waterproof. After my husband accidentally knocked over the milk bucket, the machine will be reimbursed."
Ryan raised his voice in embarrassment: "Original!" He was not allowed to tell his embarrassing things in front of Auston.
Yuan Yuan turned his head and focused on his work.
Alston closed his eyes and thought deeply. He enjoyed this kind of behavior of complaining to each other and felt at home. "I really want to know what happened to Ryan when he was a child."
"When I get home, my mother can talk for days and nights until you don't want to listen."
"I'd love to hear it." It felt closer to Ryan that way.
Ryan grabbed Alston's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed his fingertips. He likes to make these small intimate physical contacts recently, "Original is not an ordinary artificial intelligence, he has a deep past, he can Very helpful to us, although he doesn't want to be called Little Strawberry."
"My body and my brain are two separate entities." Yuan Yuan insisted.
Ryan gave Auston a "Look, what I made doesn't listen to me" aggrieved look, "I installed it on the small mech..." He introduced the weapons he equipped, and then said: "Original I know how to use them well, but I have weapons and equipment, but I don’t have the right ammunition, and I need you to solve it. Yuan Yuan is with you, I can’t protect you all the time, but he can.”
Ryan's introduction made Orston's eyes shine. If such a small mech can be mass-produced and assembled into melee troops for actual combat, the overall force value of the army will be improved and the defense will also be greatly enhanced. In the battle against the Zerg, it can More soldiers died because of it. "I'll take care of the ammunition. You have arranged an army with both offensive and defensive capabilities beside me. Can the same small mecha be mass-produced?"
It’s not that the small mecha army launched by the Mecha Research Institute doesn’t want to deploy them. First, it’s too expensive, and second, the research institute can provide too little, so the plan to equip the melee department with small mechas has always remained on paper and has never been formed. Otherwise, Sierra would not have attracted so many people with a small mech as a temptation. If the small mecha made by Ryan can be mass-produced, with its advantages of easy production and low cost, it will definitely be popularized by everyone in close combat.
Ryan said: "I'll give you the blueprint. Mass production should be possible. However, most of the parts I use are off-the-shelf parts. If they are newly manufactured, the manufacturing time will be several times longer. Also, the original was not carried out in actual combat after all. After testing, I can't say that his effect must be very strong. And I'm thinking about protecting you, improving his individual combat ability, and it needs to be improved for group killing."
Auston leaned over and kissed Ryan on the lips. He was so excited that he didn't realize what he was doing in public. He said quickly: "You don't know, Ryan, mechs are expensive and rare. The main reason is that the Mecha Research Institute does not let go of the blueprints, and the folks have no way to explore and make them, and all mechas must come from companies under their name, whether it is for military or civilian use."
Among them, the Bromfield family occupies a considerable share in these enterprises. The Bromfield family, which has been researching mechs for hundreds of years, has a large amount of research materials on mechas by Emperor Anderson, monopolizing this industry, and can hardly pry.
Good designers either work for these companies, or come from the Bromfield family. An army with a large number of mecha restorers cannot make mechas privately. After all, it is easy to stick to it and difficult to innovate.
Otherwise, there will be too many ordinary designers to design a blueprint and it will not be reused by the company immediately. There is a saying in this industry that "the inspiration flashes, the design blueprint is easy to get, and success is easy to achieve".
Ryan said, "I know."
Alston was annoyed, "I neglected your career, I'm sorry."
Ryan chuckled and said, "No need to apologize for that. Make it up to me with a kiss if you can."
A piece of garbled code flowed through the original system, despising the master's face.
Looking around, they were sitting at the high speed, and no one's eyes could see them. Auston's eyes flashed shyly, and he kissed Ryan's side face very quickly, like a superficial touch. Alston lowered his head, not letting Ryan see his expression at the moment, and said in a somewhat unsteady tone: "The Bromfield family realized that this trick was wrong, put down their posture and asked for a settlement with me, and they offered to dismantle it. Self-destruct device, I didn't agree, I threatened them instead."
"Nice job." Ryan asked, "Would it destroy your plan if you dismantle it?"
Alston said: "Nothing, as long as the self-destruct device is in my hand, I can use it."
Ryan nodded silently: "The Bromfield family has received too many flowers and applause. It has swelled to the point where they dare to do anything. They have developed minds, but their decision-making and analysis skills are low. Today's people are not as good as their predecessors."
The coldness hidden under Wen Runping's eyes slowly emerged. He watched the self-destruct device on Code Zero's nerve center, and installed the self-destruct device on Code Zero's body through Serra's hand, thinking that by doing so, he could threaten an imperial general. Are they all stuffed into their heads with money
Opponents' stupidity feels like it lowers their IQ. No, Ryan shook his head, they weren't stupid, they were too smart, too self-righteous, and took themselves too seriously.
Through counter-threats, in this year's parliamentary election, the Dalton family won 50 more seats. There is a 75% possibility that the speaker before the parliament will be supported by the Dalton family. The problem will be solved.
"Remove the self-destruct device..." Ryan will not hesitate, since it has become an established fact, there is no reason to regret it, "This news must be concealed from the outside world, the stupid Bromfield family throws stones at their own feet, we will help them Smash it a few more times, let them know that if you insert one hand into the army, you will chop one, and if you insert two, you will chop a pair."
"Okay!" With a slight click, the problem that troubled the bosses on the ship was solved by Yuan Yuan's subordinates. Yuan Yuan also used his mechanical brain to conduct a careful analysis and perfected the master's plan, "I will Restoring the self-destructing device so that the original designer still feels like his device is working."
"Then I'll trouble you." Oston looked at the little mecha as if he was looking at a wise man who had lived for seven or eight hundred years, with a little respect in his equal attitude. From Ryan's narration, he saw an ordinary Children get the artificial intelligence hundreds of years ago, and learn and grow with the help of AI. Ryan must have inherited the will of Emperor Anderson or his followers!
Ryan's experience was so different, Alston tried to calm himself down, he asked: "Do you have any needs in the first place, as a reward for dismantling the self-destruct device, I can satisfy as long as it is not excessive."
Facing the owner's serious eyes, Yuan Yuan put forward his request calmly, "I hope to have the opportunity to learn, I don't want to waste time, I hope I can connect to the ship's network for learning."
"Okay, I will provide you with a legal identity, allowing you to freely enter the star network without being noticed by the Internet police."
Yuan Yuan was very happy, his yellow eyes flashed, and he gave a standard gentleman's salute while sitting cross-legged, "General, you are a generous and good man, I will follow your orders in the future, and you can call me Little Strawberry."
Ryan: "..." Hey, hey, what about your morals!
Auston, who was given the label of generosity, was content to see cracks in Lane's calm expression, which was amusing. After starting the program, Code Zero closed the back armor, and the two of them fell to the ground with a small mech. Code Zero adjusted his posture, and when he stood up, his two huge eyes flickered, and he sat down cross-legged neatly, propping his chin He looked down at the crowd indifferently.
The scene was silent.
Auston looked at Ryan, and after their eyes met in the air, they moved decisively to Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan said, "I just made some minor adjustments. It seems that this big man has studied well."
Ryan helped his forehead helplessly, but Auston was somewhat delighted with the change of code-name zero and looked forward to future development.
When they landed, they had already received the attention of several big men. They exchanged glances, and William stepped forward to ask, "General?" With excitement in disbelief, and suspicion in the excitement, Colonel William used only one title to describe himself. Complicated emotions were expressed—the general actually brought down the self-destruct device! ! !
Alston nodded and said with a smile, "It's been dismantled, and it's still working. It won't disrupt the plan."
William took a deep breath, glanced at the small mecha brought by Ryan, and asked aggrievedly, "Did Ryan dismantle it?" Alas, these old people are really going to be shot to death on the beach by the back waves.
Ryan said embarrassingly: "I happened to get a set of one-third standard tools, put them in a small mech, and now I'm using them." He reached a consensus with Alston to conceal the original particularity, A secret weapon should always look like a secret weapon. In the eyes of outsiders, just treat him as a big toy.
Ryan was really pleasantly surprised... William sighed.
William asked: "What's the name of the little mecha?"
Ryan: "Little Strawberry."
Auston: "Original."
William: "..."
Ryan: "Original."
Alston: "Little Strawberry."
William: "..."
The original innocent twinkle eyes.
Ryan looked at Orston, and Orston said, "Originally."
"Little Strawberry is fine too." Yuan Chu didn't care about the name, he asked: "Where is the network port, I want to learn now."
"Okay, here's the ID number for you."
Colonel William's eyes moved slightly. There must be something special about the little mecha. If the general doesn't say anything, he won't ask.
