"Can't find it?" He Xueshi's expression changed suddenly, "The one outside..."

"That is a prototype that we barely produced after trying many other rare metals." The little robot explained, "No matter how you look at it, compared with the real mechanical core, it's like the difference between a monkey and a human." the gap between geniuses."

After listening to the little robot's words, He Xueshi pondered for a while, then said slowly, "What's that metal called?"

"Melting marrow."

"Melting marrow?" He Xueshi chewed on these two words. For some reason, he always felt that the name of this metal sounded a bit weird, not like a product of the technological world, but rather like something in some fantasy novels .

However, at this point, He Xueshi doesn't think it is necessary for the little robot to deceive him.

"The molten marrow is in the form of a liquid at normal temperature." The little robot continued to explain, "Those in the mechanical core seem to be inside the glowing lines, and what flows is the molten marrow."

"The production of molten marrow is very rare. It is said that only special mineral planets are produced, but the location of the mineral planet is a secret among secrets, and ordinary people have no way of knowing it."

"The discarded mechanical core can be recycled, and the molten marrow inside can be taken out and reused, but the corresponding extraction technology is also required. Interstellar Pirates is on par with regular companies in the recycling of mechanical cores. When I was still on the mechanical planet, I had Secretly backed up the extraction technology. But there will be some losses during the extraction process, so..."

Here at least, recycling is out of the question.

First, there is no supporting factory here for recycling technology. Second, even if the mechanical core that was intentionally damaged by a small robot before is recycled, the molten marrow inside is not enough to make a brand new mechanical core, unless the current The two mechanical cores are refined together.

Thinking of this, He Xueshi couldn't help but feel a headache.

He never expected that such an accident would happen.

"Maybe..." He Xueshi rubbed his eyebrows, "Maybe there are metals that can be used on other planets?"

The little robot shook his head, "Director Xu helped to apply, but the effect was not very good."

"If you still can't find the melting marrow, maybe the design principle of the entire mechanical core will be completely different."

He Xueshi frowned, this was not the result he wanted to see.

After thinking for a while, he asked the little robot, "Xiaoqi, when are you going to show Director Xu the broken mechanical core?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet."

He Xueshi turned his palm, and in the next moment, a cuboid-shaped mechanical core appeared in his hand.

Looking at the mechanical core handed to him, the little robot was a little dazed, "Master?"

"You give this to Director Xu." He Xueshi said, "See if there is any way to fix it."

"The mechanical core cannot be repaired, it can only be destroyed." The little robot blurted out.

"I know." He Xueshi nodded, "But in this situation, we can only find a way to fix it."

The little robot hesitated to take the mechanical core handed over by He Xueshi, "Okay, master."

"You don't have to worry about the marrow melting." He Xueshi got up and touched the little robot's head, "I will find a way."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the little robot to answer, He Xueshi tapped his head, "Open it and let me see your current mechanical core."

"Oh."

The shell was opened, revealing the inner core.

He Xueshi looked at the mechanical core that was still running well, and felt more and more worried in his heart.

The mechanical core has a corresponding service life, just like a computer, it will have a rough service life, and how long it can be used actually depends on the luck of the user. If you are lucky, you may continue to use it for a few years.

Right now, the little robot is in this state.

The mechanical core he is using now has exceeded the age limit, and no one is sure how long it will last.

After looking at the mechanical core, He Xueshi carefully installed the shell of the little robot, and after patting him on the shoulder, He Xueshi left the office with the little robot.

After Xu Zhaoli heard the knock on the door, he said without raising his head, "Come in."

"Director Xu."

After hearing He Xuezhi's voice, Xu Zhaoli immediately put down his work, got up and said, "Mr. He, are you done talking with Xiaoqi?"

"Yeah." He Xueshi nodded, "I heard Xiaoqi talk about the hardships you encountered in your scientific research work, and I suddenly thought, I still have a broken mechanical core here."

A broken mechanical core?

Xu Zhaoli's expression immediately became serious.

Of course he knows what the mechanical core means, and their scientific research institute is now going all out to try to overcome the difficulties of the mechanical core.

With Xiao Qi around as a comparison, everyone is actually not very satisfied with the "big guy" that has been researched so far.

But no matter what, it was their first "child", and everyone was very excited to see his birth with their own eyes.

It's not that no one has the idea of ​​dismantling the little robot, but those who have this idea count as one, and they are all suppressed by Xu Zhaoli.

At least, so far, the little robot is unique.

Although Xu Zhaoli is equally curious, since the current technology has not been achieved, he certainly will not allow others to do something to the little robot.

What's more, for now, the strength of the little robot is obvious to all, and Xu Zhaoli is absolutely unwilling to become enemies with the little robot and He Xueshi behind him.

That is purely asking for trouble for oneself, what's more, it will cause even greater damage.

Therefore, when He Xueshi took out the broken mechanical core, Xu Zhaoli was overjoyed.

"This..." Xu Zhaoli stepped forward, carefully observing the mechanical core held in the palm of He Xueshi, his eyes were full of obsession, "Look at this line, how smooth and beautiful!"

"Right!" The little robot chimed in, "I've said it before, the prototype of the mechanical core that is still outside is really ugly, ugly, ugly!"

It's ugly to use three in a row, enough to see how little the little robot looks down on the mechanical core outside.

After admiring the mechanical core for a while, Xu Zhaoli quickly asked He Xueshi to sit down.

"Look at me, I was so excited just now." Xu Zhaoli apologized repeatedly.

He Xueshi shook his head, "Director Xu, I also have something to ask for your help."

"What's the favor?" Director Xu immediately said, "If I can help, I will definitely help!"

"This busyness is also related to Xiao Qi." He Xueshi said after considering, "Except for this obvious damage, the rest of the mechanical core is very intact, so I would like to ask Director Xu to help Find a way to fix it."

repair?

Hearing He Xueshi's request, Xu Zhaoli was taken aback.

He glanced at the little robot, and said after deliberation, "Mr. Crane, could it be... is there something wrong with Xiaoqi?"

He Xueshi sighed, "This mechanical core was originally used by Xiao Qi to replace it, but..."

He pointed to the scratches made by the little robot on the mechanical core, "A scratch was accidentally made on it, and some functions cannot be used."

"You also know that Xiao Qi has almost no other replaceable mechanical cores. If this mechanical core can be repaired, I can be completely relieved."

Xu Zhaoli nodded, "I understand what Mr. He means, but now I can only say that I will do my best."

"Also, I'm not afraid to tell Mr. Crane the truth. With our current research progress, we might not even have a clue how to disassemble this mechanical core."

After explaining the matter of the little robot clearly, although He Xueshi was worried, he had to leave Yaoyu Research Institute.

When he was silent, Long Xuanzhi suddenly said, "Xue Shi, have you considered reshaping Xiao Qi's body?"

He Xue paused, then turned her head to look at Long Xuanzhi, "You mean..."

"Since Xiaoqi has already produced human consciousness, even if the mechanical core cannot be successfully researched, we can still try to prepare a new body for him." Long Xuanzhi said to Hexue, "The only problem is that Xiaoqi's situation It’s too special, and I’m not sure if it will be successful.”

Most of the things that Long Xuanzhi has come into contact with before are like seizing houses, but if he can use Tiancaidibao to recreate a body for Xiaoqi, the inside is empty, and then transfer the consciousness of the little robot into this body , that is equivalent to the little robot coming back to life.

For small robots, this is actually no different from changing the shell of a robot.

But the only problem is that Xiaoqi's situation is too special, and Long Xuanzhi dare not say that he can succeed [-]%.
