long night fire

"I will beg her!" Shang Jianyao replied confidently.

Long Yuehong was speechless.

At this time, Shang Jianyao returned to "normal" and said with a smile:

"But there is no rush. We still have to stay in the initial city for a while to find a suitable body for 'Yuan Nao'. Well, it feels weird to call him 'Yuan Nao' now. We have to give him a new name!"

Seeing Thermaltake said, the business is more excited:

"How about 'Code Zero'?

"Starting from zero, using the code name to express the separation from the past..."

Long Yuehong didn't want to hear more weird names, so she quickly changed the subject:

"It's not so easy to get a suitable body, is it? We have spent a lot of time in the original city, and we have never met anyone who sells robots."

This kind of thing, as long as it can be repaired, no matter what team needs it, and now there are no more than three forces that can still produce it on the gray soil, except for "Mechanical Paradise", and the output is very small.Most of the time, relic hunters rely on digging in the ruins of the city, trying to save electronic components for someone to repair.

Shang Jianyao also showed a troubled expression.

After soaking in the bath, the two wrapped themselves in bathrobes and entered the cafeteria. Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen had already occupied a table and were enjoying delicious food there.

This bathroom near the Senate is of good quality, at least enough meat and some desserts.

When Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong each sat down with a plate of food, Jiang Baimian looked up at them, and Gulu took a sip of plain water and said:

"After dealing with the matter of the 'Source Brain' avatar, we will collect some items such as electromagnetic shielding clothing and electromagnetic interference devices, and then we will go to Icefield Terrace City through the sphere of influence of the 'Salvation Army'."

Before she became a road idiot, she checked the information inside "Panguan Biology", and knew that Taicheng is in the northeast of the ice sheet. All had to walk on the ice sheet, and supplies were very difficult. However, from the "Salvation Army" site to Taicheng, you can still encounter many human settlements along the way.

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao would rather put down the fork with a piece of roast beef on it than applaud Jiang Baimian's words.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him:

"The most important issue now is how to find a suitable body for the 'source brain' clone.

"We always keep promises, keep our promises, and do what we say."

Really... Long Yuehong recalled how many times Jiang Baimian even lied to his teammates.

"Good robots are very hard to come by." Bai Chen has rich experience in this area, "unless you lock down a team and find a way to abduct their robots back."

"Abduction" is a very gentle expression.

"This is not good." Shang Jian Yao shook his head, "Everyone has no grievances."

Bai Chen glanced at him:

"You can reveal your identity, and there will definitely be a lot of relic hunter teams to arrest you, and then there will be revenge."

"It's too dangerous." Jiang Baimian stopped the topic from slipping in a dangerous direction.

She considered it for a while and said:

"Should we look for ones that are completely broken, can't be repaired by others, and have a more advanced model?

"With Lao Ge, as long as suitable and sufficient electronic components can be saved, the probability of repair is not low."

"That's a way of thinking." Bai Chen recalled, "Aside from the broken ones, I've only met sellers of government robots. They don't have weapon modules and corresponding programs, and they're very restrictive, so they're not very popular. They are often disassembled and sold as electronic components."

Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Is the model of that domestic robot advanced?"

Chapter 124 He still has to thank us

Green Olive District, Antana Street, a dilapidated warehouse converted into a shop.

Gnava, who was wearing a long cloak, followed Jiang Baimian and the others into the room.

It's filled with electronic components in various ways, jumbled like the ruins of a bombed city.

The boss is from Honghe, sitting behind a dilapidated table, using different tools to repair the walkie-talkie.

Feeling the shadows enveloping him, he raised his head and looked towards the door, his eyes quickly fell on Bai Chen's face.

"What parts do you want this time?" The boss with a light yellow beard asked, "You haven't shown up for two years, right?"

"More than that." Bai Chen responded briefly, and then went straight to the topic, "Are there any broken or badly repaired robots?"

The boss's eyes lit up:

"Are you finding an expert in this field and want to make a fortune repairing robots?"

A robot that is completely broken and cannot be repaired can only be sold as electronic components. If the condition is better, it can be sold for one or two thousand aores. If it is seriously damaged, it may not be able to be recycled for two or three hundred aores. It is quite cheap to sell scrap iron and steel.

The repaired combat robots are priceless products in the entire "First City" sphere of influence, which is much more expensive than the military exoskeleton devices purchased by the "Old Tune Group".

This absolutely reliable and powerful companion who is immune to many influences is the "dream lover" of all relic hunters. Anyone who has the conditions to get one wants to have one, and the more the better.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn't interrupt, and handed the stage to Bai Chen, who was most familiar with this place.

Bai Chen calmly replied:

"That's right.

"There is a gentleman who is buying broken robots, and wants to develop a new model by himself by dismantling and studying their parts. His bid is higher than most people on the market. I want to come to you to try my luck."

"Which powerful person?" The boss put down the walkie-talkie and tools in his hand.

If you are not a member of a big force, even if you come up with a new type of combat robot, you will not be able to mass-produce it for profit.

If you want to assemble one by yourself by collecting various electronic components, you may not be able to get it together in two or three years.

"I don't care which powerful person it is, I only care about the price he offers." Bai Chen's expression didn't change at all.

The boss stood up and muttered a few words:

"It reminds me of an old world saying: An arms dealer who does not sell weapons to hostile forces is not a good arms dealer.

"On Antana Street, I have seen several people being killed by their own customers. I hope you are not next."

He picked up a greasy cloth, wiped his greasy hands, and walked towards the door leading to the rear area.

This is a store in the front and warehouse in the back.

Jiang Baimian and others followed closely behind.

Compared with the chaos outside, the warehouse is unexpectedly neat, with different electronic components and different old world electrical appliances placed in different categories.

At a glance, Long Yuehong actually saw two robot bodies.

One of their bodies is close to being fragmented, with many missing parts, one has a hole in the chest, and the rest are still intact, but the metal skeleton looks slender, and the overall body is quite "slender".

"You guys are lucky." The boss pointed to the two robot bodies, "Recently, a relic hunter came back from the Scarlet Wasteland and sold them to me.

"One is a robot that specializes in repairing power grids. It can be transformed into an all-rounder. Uh, I mean the all-rounder in the repair field..."

"Can humans be repaired?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

The boss thought about it seriously:

"it should be OK.

"A robot with a wrench, a height of 1.9 meters, and a body full of iron, can't beat an ordinary human?"

"At least five." Shang Jian Yao helped to calculate.

"Moreover, its main module does not restrict it to use submachine guns, assault rifles, and grenade guns. As long as it can be repaired, it is still a very popular companion." As a businessman, the boss first boasted, "It is now The problem is that the damage is so severe that there are too many parts that need to be replaced or repaired, including the main chip."

Isn't this a waste product... Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart.

The boss turned to introduce another body:

"This is a maid-type robot with a high level of artificial intelligence, but it does not have an attack module. It is said that before the destruction of the old world, they will be covered with a layer of artificial skin when they leave the factory. The appearance looks very close to us humans.

"This damage is okay, but the main chip was blown away..."

The boss's voice was getting weaker, as if saying this was a little too much for his own conscience.

For a robot, the main chip is the part with the highest technological content, the most irreplaceable, and the most difficult to repair.

After a pause, the boss became confident:

"Anyway, you are selling it to others for research. These two models can broaden his horizons and enrich his knowledge base."

"It makes sense." Papapapa, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Bai Chen nodded:

"Let's make a price."

The boss smiled:

"The repair robot costs fifteen hundred Ore, it is very popular, and many electronic components can also be used on other robots.

"That maid robot is [-] Ores. Really, it is very cheap. Even if it is disassembled and sold as electronic components, I can get back at least [-] Ores. If it is blessed by Zhi Sui, it may reach a thousand."

After touching the "wallet" which was not thick, Jiang Baimian muttered:

"The level of artificial intelligence is very high..."

She was looking at Gnava in the cloak and whispered.

Gnava nodded slowly.

Although the maid robot has no functions, it is only missing the main chip. At that time, install the spare chip carrying the "source brain" avatar, repair the surrounding circuits, and change the battery compartment. Tried to activate it.

After understanding the team leader's suggestion, Bai Chen, who saw Gnava's movements, began to bargain.

In the end, the "Old Tune Group" bought the maid robot at a price of 720 Ore.

Jiang Baimian stuffed the banknotes to Bai Chen, and silently muttered to himself:

"It's time to apply for a new grant..."

The exploration of the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 can be reported upwards, indicating that the previous funds have been spent.

The only thing Jiang Baimian needs to consider is how to inform the company about the secret laboratory without involving Gnawa.

……

Red Giant Wolf District, in the rented apartment of the "Old Tune Group".

Shang Jian Yao solemnly pressed the start switch.

Then, he took two steps back, stood side by side with Jiang Baimian and the others, and stared at the silver-gray maid robot.

A red light quickly appeared in the maid robot's eyes, and after a flash, it moved its head left and right.

"This..." It issued a soft female voice.

Jiang Baimian wanted to congratulate, but finally chose to smile.

The maid robot's speech speed suddenly accelerated:

"Why are there no weapon modules?

"Many useful modules are missing...

"Only sweeping, mopping, cooking, washing dishes, cleaning windows..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Long Yuehong always feels that the "Yuan Brain" clone in front of her is much more humanized than in the laboratory, and she even shows signs of emotional collapse.

He speculates that there are two reasons for this:

One is that the "Source Brain" avatar is completely separated from the main body and is no longer under control, and the corresponding core modules are gradually developing in the direction of humanization. The other is that this maid-type robot is quite good at carrying artificial intelligence.

Jiang Baimian, who had already prepared the draft, took a breath, took a step forward, and said with a smile:

"It's a stopgap measure."

When the red light in the maid robot's eyes turned to herself, she explained sincerely:

"You also know that it is very, very difficult to get good combat robots in the initial city, and it may not be possible in one or two years, or even three or four years.

"For such a long time, even if we are willing to keep our promises and actively fulfill the contract, we cannot stand the possibility of accidents.

"You also know what our mission is. If one day we don't have time to find a suitable body for you, won't you be completely finished?"

"Bah, bah, bah, childish words, strong wind blows away!" The honest Shang saw Yao with a look of disgust.

Jiang Baimian glared at him, seeing that the maid robot had "calmed down" and smiled again:

"So, we quickly found you a body that can carry that chip, and then you can upgrade as you want, without relying on others, relying on mountains falling, relying on water dryness, relying on yourself is the kingly way.
