A drop in temperature made two elderly people sick. Qin Minghui also coughed twice when she returned to her room in the evening.
01 was extremely nervous. He came over and scanned her from head to toe, worried that she had contracted a minor illness before recovering from her serious illness.
"Winter is coming soon." Qin Minghui held the thick coat that 01 gave her and looked outside with some emotion, "When I just woke up, the temperature was still early summer, and in the blink of an eye it's almost winter."
01 took out the cough medicine that he said he made specially, mixed it with warm water for her: "Little Miss, take the medicine."
Qin Minghui held the warm cup of water and felt the hot steam blowing in front of her eyes. She listened to the wind outside and said with some concern: "01, you've been out for a few days and haven't come back yet. Is your body really okay?"
After all, that is his main control body. It would be terrible if it was damaged.
01 raised his hand and said, "I promise, there's no problem. In fact, I'm already on my way back. This trip went very smoothly. I've completed the mission. Tomorrow, young lady will be able to see the big robot 01 back."
"That's good." Qin Minghui held the cup and sighed, "When the weather is bad, I worry more than usual when I think of you being outside alone, and I also miss Big Robot 01."
01 suddenly supported himself on the ground with one hand and pressed his chest with the other. Qin Minghui was startled and asked hurriedly: "01?!"
"It's okay, it's just that the sight of the young lady worrying about me is so heart-warming!" 01 said.
Qin Minghui: “…” 01, you really change every day. I wonder what strange knowledge you have learned today.
In the dead of night, everything was quiet except for the howling of the cold wind. A black figure wearing a hood appeared on the street. He was agile and flashed around the houses of the elderly like a shadow, which was very suspicious.
He walked to the outskirts of the village, took a look around, selected a few places, and then began to get busy.
The next morning, when the old people got up and came out of their warm house, they were greeted not by a biting cold wind but by a gently warm breeze. The temperature outside was surprisingly almost the same as inside the house.
The elderly who get up late are still confused, but those who get up early have already found the reason for the high temperature.
Suddenly, four strange huge devices appeared around the village. There was a ring on a tall pole, and large and small fan blades were distributed on both sides of the ring. They were rotating in a strange way. It looked like a windmill, but it was not a windmill.
“Who made this?”
"Is this what raised the temperature?"
"I measured it and the temperature throughout the village was stable between 22C and 25C, the same as the indoor temperature. Beyond these devices, the temperature is much lower."
"This is a device that circulates warm air and keeps the temperature constant, right? How does it heat? Let me study it."
"Oh, don't mess it up!"
Qin Minghui also stood up and saw a group of old people discussing who did it. She turned around and looked at 01, saying in a positive tone: "It was you who did it."
01 nodded and said, "Yes, cooling down will cause discomfort to the elderly and patients with weakened immune systems, so I found a solution from the database, spent two days perfecting the plan, and built this device last night."
Qin Minghui subtly heard a hint of anticipation in 01's tone, so she said, "01 is amazing! Did you do this all by yourself? That's great, the temperature is so comfortable."
01 bowed modestly: "Nothing, young lady, it's just a small matter."
Qin Minghui smiled and thought, two days ago, she didn't know that Grandma Li Ze was sick... But 01 probably knew, since he hacked into the main system, everything that happened here could not be hidden from his eyes. Did he think of making such a heating device at that time
Grandma Hui also came over. She coughed as she walked. She looked at the warm air circulation devices critically for a while, then looked at 01 suspiciously, and then looked at the ground thoughtfully.
"Ahem! 01, you used the main system permissions to activate a part of 'Riser' and let it heat, right?"
The capital of "Mo", "Ruiser", is a huge robot, and it is sleeping here - everyone knows this, and Qin Minghui also has some guesses.
01Honestly said: "Yes, this is the most convenient and quickest way."
Grandma Hui gritted her teeth and wanted to curse, but she didn't know how to start.
The authority of the main system used to be her only, but because the system was too large, they did not dare to give the main system too much self-management authority, so all functions needed her to manage. She was old and powerless, so in order to prevent any errors, she simply shut down most of the system and disabled many functions.
Now 01, the guy who gained the authority of the main system through intrusion, runs much faster than her. In a short period of time, he mastered all the functions of the main system and put them to good use.
She wanted to lose her temper and order 01 to turn these off, but when she saw her old friends' relaxed faces and how comfortable they were in the warm breeze, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Seeing that Grandma Hui was sitting aside and sulking with her again, Qin Minghui squeezed 01's hand, asked him to sit aside, and walked to Grandma Hui. 01 searched his pockets and handed her a thermos cup. Qin Minghui smiled after being stunned.
"Are you here to speak well of your 01 again? Ahem!" said Grandma Hui.
Qin Minghui opened the thermos and poured her a glass of water, then asked with concern, "Is your cough still not getting better?"
Grandma Hui snorted, but still took the cup of hot water and took a sip. She glanced at 01 who was standing nearby with his back to them, and said, "It's strange that it's good. Ask your robot what good things it has done! It makes me so angry!"
"Huh? What did he do? If it was something bad, I would definitely have a good talk with him."
"What? Humph!" Grandma Hui changed 01's head into a cat-faced mask and went to her house to act out the bloody battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Qin Minghui wanted to hold back, but she couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Grandma Hui glared at her: "You're still laughing?!"
Qin Minghui said, "Isn't this better? 01 also has a temper. Grandma Hui, you don't like him, and he can always sense it. He can vent in this childish way, and I feel more at ease."
Grandma Hui continued to hum: "Have you ever thought that he calculated and analyzed that this method is more harmless, so he did it deliberately to reduce your guard?"
Qin Minghui's smile faded, and she said helplessly, "Why is it that when it comes to 01, no matter what he does, your first reaction is to deny and question him?"
"It's like teaching a child with flaws. Denial and questioning won't make him better. Trust and guidance will. If Grandma Hui is worried that he will become bad, can you try to teach him? Maybe it's not that bad. I ask Grandma to give 01 a little trust, believe that he has a friendly attitude and is kind to everyone, okay?"
Grandma Hui kept thinking about Qin Minghui's words and returned to her home. Looking around, her home was empty, as it had been for decades. She sat down on a chair, leaning against the table, looking somewhat dazed and melancholy.
The biggest reason why she rejected 01 was that 01 had captured the main system and gained administrator privileges. As a robot, he had too much power. If he wanted, he could easily destroy all of them, and she had no way to shut down 01. Such uncontrollable power made her feel worried. The uncontrollability of robots was written in history.
"Cough! Cough, cough, cough!" Grandma Hui was lost in thought and started coughing violently, and couldn't stop for a long time.
Suddenly she heard a subtle sound. She turned her head and saw that the cooking robotic arm in her house started moving without being started. It took the hot water, picked up the bottle of cough medicine next to it, soaked the medicine, and then handed it to a cleaning robot parked in the corner.
The slow-witted cleaning robot came over with the medicine and delivered it to her.
Grandma Hui's home probably has the fewest auxiliary machines among all the elderly. These machines will not work automatically unless she turns them on. Now they are moving on their own, obviously being mobilized by a 01 who has mastered the main system.
"…" Grandma Hui was silent for a moment, then took the cup of cough medicine, "I will watch you and see if I am wrong or your little lady is wrong."
As soon as she finished speaking, the media player on the wall suddenly turned on automatically, and a simulated sound of footsteps sounded, as if someone was approaching, followed by a knock on the door, a creaking sound of the door opening, and then a mechanical voice said, "Excuse me, I came here to say something, the young lady must be right, goodbye."
After this series of noises, the media player was turned off and the room returned to silence.
Grandma Hui held the cup in her hand, irritated by the rebellious 01, and two blue veins popped out on her forehead again.
Just at this moment, her home medical robot started up again and came over to measure her blood pressure.
Grandma Hui: “…”
The temperature in the village became comfortable, and the elderly who had been staying indoors came out to walk around again. Everyone gathered under the big tree in the center of the square, basking in the sun and chatting. Only Grandma Hui was not there. As everyone chatted, they talked about 01 again.
"Actually, there's no need to be so averse to 01. I think he's actually quite good." said an old man.
The others looked at him in surprise. Grandma Li Ze also stopped knitting and said curiously, "Didn't you say the same thing as Hui before? You also said that 01's system should be deleted."
The old man looked at the leafless branches above him awkwardly and whispered, "This isn't... Two nights ago, I forgot to take my medicine and got sick in the middle of the night. I also forgot to turn on the nursing robot, which almost killed me. At that time, the nursing robot turned on automatically and came over to feed me medicine... Now I guess it was probably the nursing robot turned on by 01 in the main system."
"For this matter, I should thank him."
Grandma Li Ze laughed and said, "Go and thank him yourself, why are you saying anything to me?"
The old man groaned twice and stopped talking.
Qin Minghui had just had an attack, took some medicine, and sat on the bed with her hair disheveled. 01 held her, stroking her hair, looking at her too pale face, unwilling to put her down, letting her lean on his arms. Qin Minghui let him do what he wanted, she was in so much pain that she didn't want to move, saw water dripping from the gap in his hood, reached out to take off his hood, took a look and said, "01, you are leaking...?"
"Actually, I wanted to ask you before, how did you make these tears?"
01 said: "In order to be more like a human, I made a detailed tear gland system, which will store some water in the body, and when I feel sad, it will condense into tears and flow out."
Qin Minghui looked at the teardrop on her fingertips curiously, tasted it, and asked in surprise, "Is it salty?"
01You really pay attention to details.
01 Answer: "Well, I store salty water and sweet water in my body. This way, if I get thirsty outside and can't find water, I can just take it out and drink it."
"It can also be heated," he added.
When talking about his own functions, 01 is always serious, as if he is showing off his treasures.
Suddenly he looked outside and said, "Miss, I'm almost there. I'll be outside the village in three minutes."
"Are you back?" Qin Minghui stood up happily, "Then we'll go pick you up."
They arrived at the entrance of the village just in time to see the giant robot 01 walking out of the village. It was completely different from what it was before it left. The current robot 01 was completely unrecognizable. There were many traces of liquid corrosion on its huge body, and the round eyes on its head were broken. Except for the main control room on its chest, which was still intact, other places had varying degrees of damage.
As eye-catching as his awful appearance was his abundant harvest. He actually used his broken shell to grow more than a dozen bloodworms, a large string of bloodworms trailing behind him to form a small hill, and in addition, there was something like a white rock in his arms.
"How did it become like this!" Qin Minghui clenched 01's hand, "No wonder you refused to let me know what was going on over there!"
"It's okay, young lady. My body doesn't have a pain system." 01 comforted her and picked her up to prevent her from getting close. "Young lady, you can't get close to the source of infection. You will be infected again."
Qin Minghui was so focused on the injuries on 01 that she almost forgot about it. Just as she was about to turn around to look for protective gear, Grandma Hui came over wearing a hood and a sealed suit.
"Put it on quickly." She threw a set of protective clothing on 01's head.
Qin Minghui took the clothes off 01's head and put them on silently. 01 checked her carefully again.
The rest of the elderly in the village also put on protective clothing and took shelter in the buildings. 01, who was outside the village, then walked into the village with the bloodworms and went straight to the pharmaceutical building. Wherever he passed, there were robots that carefully cleaned up to prevent the infection source from remaining around.
"Come on, come with me to learn how to make medicine." Grandma Hui stretched out her gloved hand and instructed Qin Minghui and 01.
Qin Minghui: "Yes, okay."
01: "Although I also want to say 'OK', I have learned it."
