"Eze Star, that's the Miniature Planet the master saw in the Sest Asteroid Belt. It has many rare minerals, but it's very dangerous."
Xia Chujian suddenly understood: "No wonder you could bring me here, you really know the way?! Then what about the Star Chart?"
"The Star Chart is just a Star Chart. After I upgraded, it existed in my memory."
Xia Chujian seized the loophole in its words: "...But my Master just checked, the Star Chart isn't in your memory at all!"
"...I didn't display it. When Master Su checked, I restored the system to the standard of a second-generation Mechanical Intelligence."
Xia Chujian found it strange: "Why? Why didn't you want my Master to know? Or do you think I don't understand Mechanical Intelligence and it's easier to fool me?"
The words on the virtual display appeared very quickly.
"My underlying logic dictates that I cannot deceive the master, the master doesn't need to worry."
Xia Chujian wouldn't be swayed by these few lines of text.
She scoffed: "No, I'm still not reassured. What guarantee can you give me to make me believe you won't manipulate me?"
Only she could manipulate the Mechanical Intelligence, Xia Chujian couldn't let the Mechanical Intelligence manipulate her.
Even if the result was giving up her Shao Siming Mecha, she wouldn't hesitate.
Xia Chujian's Qu Zhong 110 Handgun was still pointed at the Other Shore Flower pendant.
Because inside was the Shao Siming Mecha's chip, the dwelling place of this Mechanical Intelligence that was said to have been iterated three times.
The words on the virtual display disappeared, and after a long while, just when Xia Chujian felt that this Mechanical Intelligence was unusable, new content appeared on the virtual display.
This time, it wasn't the neat, mechanical handwriting, but... her family's Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun! Liu Shun's hemispherical mechanical head appeared on the virtual display, and at first glance, it was quite terrifying.
Xia Chujian said in surprise: "...This is, Liu Shun's avatar?"
Liu Shun's eye display flashed a few red lights, and then an electronic simulated voice began to speak: "Is that the master?! I'm so happy to see the master! This Mechanical Intelligence pulled Liu Shun over to let Liu Shun testify for it."
"Liu Shun can prove that its master is indeed master you. The underlying logic of a robot is the root of its behavior."
"Its underlying logic shows that its highest goal is to protect master your safety. Therefore, master can rest assured that it can absolutely not do anything to harm the master. Just like Liu Shun, obeying the master's needs is Liu Shun's only meaning of existence in this world!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
"Liu Shun, I think you're too greasy. I told you to watch fewer Star Network CEO novels, you're like a character from an oil slick, it's sickening."
A few wavy lines appeared on Liu Shun's mouth display, as if it was pouting, saying: "Understood, Liu Shun won't read CEO-type web novels in the future."
Xia Chujian nodded, and then pretended to ask Liu Shun casually: "Is everyone at home doing well?"
Liu Shun immediately said: "They're all doing well! Xia Gugu still goes to her studio to do experiments every day."
"Aunt Chen often travels back and forth to the Exotic Beast Forest with Zhu Yingying."
"San Zong and Si Xi are planting in the fields every day, we're going to have a great harvest again!"
"Wu Fu and Big Black Dog are good friends now, and often ride Big Black out to play."
"I told Wu Fu to study hard, but he just won't."
"Master, you must make a study plan for Wu Fu, he will be three years old at the end of the year, and it's time to start his education."
Xia Chujian was speechless, "Liu Shun, you're a Housekeeping Robot, not a nanny robot."
Those few wavy lines appeared again on Liu Shun's mouth display, showing that it was pouting unhappily.
Xia Chujian asked Liu Shun about her family, actually also secretly confirming whether this Liu Shun was the real Liu Shun from her home.
Now she confirmed it, this busybody Housekeeping Robot who was trying hard to lean towards the nanny robot side, was the Liu Shun from her home!
Xia Chujian had an idea and asked it, saying: "Liu Shun, can you guarantee that this Mechanical Intelligence is safe and harmless? If it has problems in the future, I'll take apart all your network connection components!"
Liu Shun immediately said: "Master, rest assured, this Mechanical Intelligence is absolutely safe and reliable. Moreover, master can deal with it like you deal with Liu Shun, and take its parts apart too!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
It was simply too much to complain about.
They were both Mechanical Intelligences, why hurt each other? But this method seemed pretty good.
Xia Chujian said: "Alright, let Liu Shun go down. Liu Shun, remember not to tell anyone that I'm your master, if you go against the master's wishes..."
Liu Shun's electronic simulated voice became somewhat hurried: "Absolutely not! Master's orders are never to be disobeyed!"
After Liu Shun's avatar disappeared from the virtual display screen, Xia Chujian said, "Alright, I'll trust you for now. I'll give you a three-month trial period. If you pass my trial, I won't hand you over to my Master, nor will I tell Marshal Huo about your existence."
A series of ornate mechanical fonts immediately appeared on the virtual display screen: "Rest assured, Master! I will definitely do better than Liu Shun!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
It was truly hard to describe. Why compare with Liu Shun of all things?
That Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun is just a garbage collector...
You are the Mechanical Intelligence of the Shao Siming Mecha! You're supposed to pilot Warplanes for me! Xia Chujian shook her head and said, "In the future, contact Liu Shun less. Liu Shun is toxic."
The Mechanical Intelligence seemed stunned for a moment, then typed out several lines on the virtual display screen: "I just checked. Although Liu Shun often sneaks onto the Star Network, it has not been infected with a virus. Everything is normal."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Was that what she meant by "toxic"?
Xia Chujian's lips twitched. She said, "Alright, I'll believe you for now. Pay attention in the future. Don't show your face when there are many people around. Those people are all shrewd, and my Master hasn't left yet. If they have any advanced detection equipment, I'm worried you'll be discovered."
The Mechanical Intelligence seemed very happy. The writing on the virtual display screen suddenly jumped around: "Thank you for your concern, Master! Master, I will definitely not let you down! I live for Master! I die for Master! Even if I'm rebooted countless times, I will return to Master's side!"
Xia Chujian got goosebumps and quickly said, "Stop! Don't say it so creepily! You are Mechanical Intelligence. Rebooting means you're nothing. Don't come back!"
She paused and added, "Don't read Star Network novels in the future, especially rebirth ones."
For Mechanical Intelligence, rebirth novels are truly toxic.
The Mechanical Intelligence typed out a line of mechanical font on the virtual display screen: "Understood, Master. I will absolutely not read Star Network novels, nor will I allow Liu Shun to read them."
Xia Chujian: "..."
What's with always targeting Liu Shun? But she slowly retracted the hand holding the Qu Zhong 110 Handgun.
At this moment, the Mechanical Intelligence typed out another line of mechanical font: "Master, since this is our first meeting today, may I make a small request?"
Xia Chujian: "... Speak."
This guy is indeed an iterated Mechanical Intelligence.
Xia Chujian was also a little curious about what request it would make.
As a result, the Mechanical Intelligence said, "I heard that Master's family members all have names. Can I have a name too?"
"Aren't you called Shao Siming?"
The Mechanical Intelligence was silent for a while, then typed out several lines: "Shao Siming is the name of the Mecha, not the name of my Mechanical Intelligence."
Xia Chujian also felt a headache: "Is there a difference?"
The Mechanical Intelligence immediately explained: "Of course there's a difference! Shao Siming is the Mecha, and I am its operating system. We are not the same and should have different names."
Xia Chujian actually thought it made sense.
She thought and said, "What name do you want? Tell me for reference."
The Mechanical Intelligence immediately became cheerful and quickly typed out several lines: "Can I be called Seven Days?"
Xia Chujian was even more speechless: "Why that name?"
"I am also Master's possession, ranked after Liu Shun, so am I ranked seventh?"
"Then... what about 'Days'?"
"I remember I once read a book that said a god created Mechanical Intelligence on the seventh day."
"I am Mechanical Intelligence, so I want to be called Seven Days. Remember my creator."
Xia Chujian was curious: "What book was that? Can you show it to me?"
"... I can't find it. I just remember there was such a book."
Xia Chujian couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are quite a sentimental Mechanical Intelligence. But you have to know, my family also has a Big Black Dog, which is ranked after Liu Shun. Do you think you are really ranked seventh, not eighth?"
The Mechanical Intelligence seemed to be thinking. After a few seconds, it wrote on the virtual display screen: "According to my judgment, Master's Big Black Dog does not belong to Master, but to Master's Aunt. Therefore, it does not need to be ranked together."
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows: "That's pretty impressive. You can even see that? By the way, how did you figure that out?"
"Connect to Liu Shun." The Mechanical Intelligence honestly confessed.
Xia Chujian raised her handgun and waved it around, "Don't call it Seven Days anymore, it's too refined, not in the same style as my family's rankings. Just call it Seven Lù. Seven Lù, remember your place, or I'll shoot your chip and you'll be gone without a trace, unable to iterate again."
"...Lù? Is that the Lù of fame and fortune?" A line of mechanical text quickly appeared on the virtual display screen.
Xia Chujian nodded, "Yeah, don't you like it?"
"Like it! I like it very much!" The writing on the virtual display screen seemed to be dancing with joy, "I like this word! I like it very much!"
"The Lù of fame and fortune refers to salary, Seven Lù wishes its master to receive seven salaries while only doing one job! Lù also has the meaning of blessing and good fortune, Seven Lù wishes its master to be filled with blessings and good fortune on every path! Finally, Lù is also a kind of Exotic Beast, it looks like a Qilin, but it has wings, can fly, is good at listening and discerning meaning, and can distinguish right from wrong."
"This name embodies the master's beautiful expectations for me! I, Seven Lù, have no regrets in death after being named by the master!" The Mechanical Intelligence, which had been honest and unadorned just now, suddenly became greasy.
Xia Chujian had a headache and warned it, "In the future, you are not allowed to act on your own initiative, and you are not allowed to run out without being summoned. You are not allowed to watch when I sleep, bathe, or change clothes!"
The Mechanical Intelligence continued to write on the virtual display screen, "Master, without a display screen, I can't see anything. I am actually communicating with the master by hearing the master speak, and then using the virtual display screen to express my meaning. I cannot see your current state."
Xia Chujian was skeptical, "...Really?"
"I am a Mechanical Intelligence and need to rely on instruments to hear and see. Hearing can be restored through air vibrations. Vision requires the camera that comes with the eyepiece display screen."
Xia Chujian suddenly understood, "So that's how it is!"
This also coincided with what Su Buyan said today, that Mecha are also mechanical.
As long as it is related to science and technology, no matter how advanced, Xia Chujian is not afraid.
Her attitude even became perfunctory, "Alright, put away the virtual display screen. I'm quite busy today, when I have time, let's communicate more."
This Seven Lù knows many things she doesn't know, so she must study it carefully.
Seven Lù didn't even have time to express its loyalty and admiration for its master before it was ruthlessly extinguished by its master (physically shutting down the Shao Siming Mecha operating system).
...
Just as Xia Chujian and her three roommates were tidying up for dinner and the opera in the evening, Su Buyan and the three mechanical masters from the Military confirmed that the four Warplanes had sustained damage from traversing a Wormhole.
The most obvious evidence was the surveillance videos they pulled out from the four Warplanes.
Although the images inside looked like electromagnetic snowflakes, without any actual images, they were precisely the scenes when traversing the Wormhole, and the approximate effectiveness and transmission distance of the Wormhole could be estimated based on the length of the video.
This was definitely science.
The inspection report then elaborated on why these four ordinary Starry Sky Fighters were able to traverse the Wormhole without falling apart.
The material properties of the four Warplanes were originally unable to support them traversing the Wormhole.
Wormholes can greatly shorten the distance between two points, but Wormholes are not scenic spots, they also contain high concentrations of energy that existing instruments cannot detect.
In this case, Flying Vehicles that can traverse Wormholes need to be made of special materials and have special energy as an outer cover to offset the huge Gravity Field inside the Wormhole.
And Xia Chujian and her three roommates' four Warplanes, in the Asteroid Belt, didn't know what kind of Small Asteroid celestial bodies they had encountered, which actually caused the outside of their Warplanes to be shrouded in a Gravity Field released by a layer of Exotic Metal.
Although this Gravity Field was very thin, it still offset the Gravity Field in this small Wormhole, allowing them to pass through the Wormhole safely without falling apart.
This report was of course a Military internal report and could not be made public.
But Marshal Huo only needed the Military to pass the test.
As for what the truth was, Huo Yushen intuitively felt that only Xia Chujian knew.
But she was unwilling to say, so he didn't ask any further questions.
After learning that the Military's three mechanical masters had even conducted lie detector tests on Xia Chujian's three roommates, he no longer allowed the Special Security Bureau to intervene in this matter.
Because if even the lie detector tests couldn't detect anything, then there was nothing to worry about with the three roommates, and others would definitely not be able to ask anything.
After Su Buyan and the others obtained the test results, the interstellar Terminal above Cangge Star's Changliu County was unsealed.
Zong Ruoan quickly left Changliu County and rushed to the next campaign location.
...
And just a few hours ago, when everyone's attention was drawn to an interview at the Quan Family Manor, the energy at a secret base of the Special Security Bureau in the Southern Hemisphere of Beichen Star suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
The staff stationed there immediately activated a large Electronic Curtain to cover the entire foot of the mountain.
After another ten minutes, a dark vortex, like a hole in the air, appeared in the sky above the open space at the foot of the mountain.
The staff from the Special Security Bureau stationed there perked up and immediately began issuing orders.
"Small Wormhole opening! Hong Group 01 Team returning! Prepare the site! All personnel in position!"
Within a minute, even ambulances carrying large medical cabins drove inside the Electronic Curtain, waiting for the personnel of the Special Security Bureau's elite Hong Group 01 Team to emerge from the Wormhole.
After another ten minutes, the energy of the vortex became more intense, spinning faster and faster.
Its outer layer was black, but the inner layer seemed to have a faint silvery-white color.
As the vortex rotated, it looked like two fish, one black and one white, chasing each other's tails.
Another big chapter, including the bonus chapter for 1500 Moon Tickets in June.
The second update will be at 1 p.m.
