Chapter 1587: The second big discovery

Views:

Looking at the manipulators and tractor beams busy on the engineering console, Hao Ren asked the analysis host in the laboratory: "How long will it take to fix her?"

"It is expected to take forty-eight hours," the analysis host quickly gave an answer, "The damage is too serious, and some logic circuits can no longer be deduced in reverse. The adaptability of the mods requires extensive testing and virtual launches."

A full forty-eight hours... It only takes one week for the Giant Turtle Rock to be repaired to the point where it can be re-launched, but it takes two days and two nights to repair such a machine adjutant from an indigenous civilization. This time is inevitably a bit disappointing, but Hao Ren quite understood.

He was the one who brought back the pile of wreckage himself—of course he knew the state of the robot adjutant, and the process of repairing it could hardly be described as "maintenance". The product under the system, the analysis host can forcibly complete this process with its powerful research and calculation capabilities, but the massive virtual tests that need to be conducted in the middle cannot be skipped at all.

Nolan has a ready-made blueprint for self-healing, but no one can get the blueprint for the robot lady in front of him.

"Just repairing the hardware is not enough," Vivienne said next to her, "the most important thing is her memory... Can we extract the memory bank first? Even if the logic circuit cannot be repaired, we can know her brain What's in it."

"The AI module used by this object is quite special. The memory bank and the logic circuit cannot be separated, and the logic circuit is rooted in the motherboard. This structure requires the use of its original logic circuit to read the memory bank accurately, or interpreted as , only its initial logic will be able to understand the files in its memory bank - it is therefore advised not to attempt to read the memory bank until basic repairs have been completed."

After a while, the analysis host added a few more sentences: "It may be possible to try to forcibly crack the memory bank, but the chance of data damage is 50%."

"Forget it, anyway, we'll have to wait two more days," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Are you sure it can be fixed?"

"It can be repaired up to 70%. After the subject wakes up, it may be completely repaired with its active cooperation."

The analysis host gave a satisfactory answer this time.

"Do you think this robot lieutenant will cooperate with us after waking up?" asked Nangong Sanba, who came to watch the fun, "In my impression, the AI is quite rigid, if she is set with some recognition module, What if you automatically switch to berserk mode when you meet a stranger?"

Before Hao Ren could say anything, the data terminal hit Sanba on the head with a brick: "Be careful what you say, this machine is a super advanced and flexible AI assistant! This machine is not rigid at all!"

Hao Ren casually pulled this tempered brick aside: "Go, go, sometimes I wish you could be more rigid and save a lot of nonsense. It's okay if the robot doesn't cooperate, anyway. After the main board and logic circuit are repaired, Nolan can directly intervene in her thinking part. It would be better if she can actively cooperate. If she is not willing to cooperate, just unplug her hard disk and card reader and plug it into Nolan's body, and she can still read. …”

Nangong Sanba scratched his hair: "Although there is nothing wrong with what you said, it sounds weird to me."

It will take a while to fix the robot girl, and Hao Ren doesn't quite understand the specific process, so he simply handed over the matter to the laboratory host to complete it on his own, while he returned to the crew rest area of the spaceship.

The crew quarters are the best-preserved part of the spaceship. Since it is located deep inside the ship, it hardly suffered any physical impact during the attack and fall. Although it lost gravity and energy supply for a time, it was still in Nolan Heavy. After rectifying the energy flow of the spaceship, the functions here have been fully restored. There is a small bar in the center of the residential area—it is called a small bar, but it is also fully functional and spacious, and there are all kinds of drinks produced by the synthesis machine at any time. It is everyone’s favorite place when the spacecraft is on a long-distance mission. place. Now everyone has no missions, and there is a strange and dangerous planet outside the spaceship, no one is interested in going out for night tours, so everyone came here one after another, chatting and playing cards to pass the time.

An autonomous machine floats behind the silver-white bar counter, tentatively acting as a bartender. Its mechanical tentacles flexibly twist and turn in the air, doing bartending in dazzling ways—but in fact This is useless, because apart from Nangong Sanba, no one in the family likes cocktails. Hao Ren just thinks that as a bar, there should be a bartender who can throw a lot of glasses flying around to have an atmosphere. , so a task was specially arranged for this self-discipline machine to pretend to be bartending...

As soon as Hao Ren sat down in front of the bar, Roll swayed over. The cat girl nimbly climbed onto the high stool and waved to the bartender's self-discipline: "I want a glass of vodka!!"

Hao Ren: "Give her a glass of warm water without sugar."

Roll continued to yell: "I still need boiled fish!!"

"Give her a bowl of cat food - add a small dried fish, the kind with less salt."

The mechanical bartender quickly prepared the cat girl's food, and the latter held the bowl with a happy face: "Thank you big cat~~"

This guy actually doesn't know what the food she ordered is, she just learned it from the TV and other people's conversations, so every time she asks the mechanical bartender for food, Hao Ren has to correct it by the side, otherwise this guy Gotta poison myself sooner or later - not everything is good for cats, and the bad thing is that she wants to try everything, last time she even wanted onion rings and garlic...

Hao Ren asked for a glass of Coke with ice, and used the cold drink to cool down his slightly feverish brain, so that he could think carefully about the affairs of this mysterious planet. Lily was sitting not far away with a glass of ice cubes and While chewing ice cubes, he looked at the Nangong brothers and sisters and Yizaks who were fighting the landlord, and occasionally directed the game indiscriminately, showing great interest.

"Bartender! Here are two plates of edamame!" Izaks played a hand of cards and raised his head in greeting.

Then came Nangong Wuyue's voice: "By the way, give me some tea~~"

Elizabeth, who was playing with Doudou in the far corner, also yelled, "I want ten lamb skewers!"

"There are two more chopsticks!!" This was undoubtedly Doudou's voice.

"Hao Ren, to be honest, I've advised you to turn this place into a chess and card room a long time ago," Vivienne sat down next to Hao Ren, "Do you think any of the people in our family can get along with the bar— Even if you change to a barbecue stand, it will be better than now."

Hao Ren waved his hand: "There should be a bar on the spaceship! Don't you think it's very interesting for the pilot to go back to the bar of the spaceship after performing space combat missions? And a barbecue stall inside the starship is a good idea." what the hell..."

Nangong Sanba, who was playing cards, also echoed after hearing it: "That's right, and whoever said that no one is taking care of the wine business, I'm not considered a human being - where can I find cocktails if I set up a chess and card room!"

Vivian rolled her eyes: "Eight people order peanuts, edamame, big kidneys in the bar or one person order cocktails in the chess and card room, which one do you think is more abnormal?"

Hao Ren thought about it, and felt that it made sense...

Vivian pursed her lips, gently shaking the juice in her hand, showing a thoughtful look: "Hao Ren, do you feel that this planet... is a bit strange?"

"Strange? You mean the eldest son of this planet?"

"Yeah, I heard from Nolan that the eldest son of this planet is in a very 'inert' state, and traces of the survivors' rebel bombing missions can be seen everywhere on this continent, but the eldest son inside the planet is very It doesn't look like he's going insane with only a fairly limited counterattack, but he's also not sane, since he doesn't show any signs of communicating—and counterattacks fairly decisively when attacked, Although there was no follow-up pursuit, the counterattack was equally merciless."

"Furthermore, after the lullaby system was activated, no significant changes were observed in the tentacles of the eldest son," Hao Ren nodded. "Under normal circumstances, once the lullaby system is activated, the tentacles of the eldest son will show signs of short-term tremors, rigidity, and wilting." In severe cases, there may even be organic atrophy and shedding of the surface layer, which is caused by the shutdown of the nervous system, but it has been nearly forty-eight hours since Nolan started the lullaby, and the main tendril closest to us seems to be completely unaffected .”

"I'm afraid it's another special model?"

"God knows," Hao Ren shook his head, "Anyway, it's good news that the eldest son of this planet is not so active, so our safety factor can be greatly improved."

Vivienne deeply agrees with this.

At this moment, Nolan's radio interrupted Hao Ren's thinking: "Boss, I found something here."

Hao Ren looked at the mechanical bartender in front of him: "Take it."

One of the bartender's mechanical tentacles was lifted into the air, and Nolan's holographic image immediately appeared on the front of the tentacles. Miss Jian Niang waved to Hao Ren: "Boss, I repaired a set of optical observation modules for the spaceship, and then I looked up at the sky. , guess what I saw?"

Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Don't be a secret—what's in the sky?"

Nolan directly switched the screen, and a silver-white giant-egg-like space structure appeared on the holographic projection, and the background of the projection was the bright cosmic stars.

"Oh—" Lily couldn't help exclaiming after seeing this scene, "Is this... a space station?"

A series of information flowed quickly in his mind. The moment Hao Ren saw the space station, he had a lot of associations and reasoning. He quickly put together the information he had collected so far and his usual thoughts. One thought Then emerged from these messy messages:

"I guess... this is the giant spaceship that was launched into space that year recorded on the relief?"
