Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 73

Nan'an was so angry that his hair exploded.

Nan'an's breathing froze for a moment.

His gaze passed Lin Ze and Ellie, and landed on the temporary storage area in front of him.

This is the closest moment between him and that package, and it is also the best time to be able to know that mission.

Nan'an waited for Lin Ze's reply.

As long as he agreed to Julia and went in to check the package first, he could follow in and know exactly what the Kepler base was going to do.

Just when Nan An looked away, he turned around and said to Julia, "No need."

Nan An was slightly startled when he heard that, he looked at Julia, and the other party, like Lin Ze, showed no expression, just nodded and said, "Okay."

This answer made Nan'an a little confused. It seems that under his understanding, Lin Ze should enter the storage area, check the security of the package, and then take further measures, such as strengthening security or moving the location.

But none of these.

Nan An frowned, feeling a little puzzled.

At this time, Lin Ze's communicator rang, which was the frequency of ordinary messages, which seemed gentle compared to the rapid beeping.

So Lin Ze answered the phone.

The researcher's voice came from inside: "Dr. Lin, all the researchers are now on the second floor of the base."

Lin Ze: "Where is the police department?"

"We're all here, and we're in touch with researchers. At present, the specific architectural structure of the second city has been divided into 15 yuan areas, which are classified by the letters ABCD, and are now being explained."

Lin Ze: "Thank you."

With a beep, the communicator was hung up.

After a few seconds of silence, footsteps sounded again in the corridor, and they walked upstairs.

Seeing Lin Ze striding forward, Nan An reluctantly kept up with him. How should I put it, this big villain himself walks fast, and if he is in a bad mood, he will walk even faster.

Nan'an now felt that he was not in a good mood.

I don't know if it was because of that phone call or what.

"Am I going too?" Panting, Nan'an managed to keep up with Lin Ze, "I heard that all the researchers have to go..."

"Need not."

Nan'an said softly: "Why?"

"The purpose of this time is to let the staff of the research institute familiarize themselves with the city, including residential areas, entrances and exits, and police deployment locations." Lin Ze said lightly, "It can be regarded as additional training."

training?

Nan An was slightly taken aback.

He tilted his head and thought for a few seconds before reacting.

When the base in the four cities was invaded before, Lin Ze asked Jason to explain the specific situation. As far as the research institute was concerned, they did not know the entrances and exits, and even the number of elevators in the sky.

But at that time, Nan'an was not too surprised when he heard it, as if he knew it a long time ago.

Is it because someone said it before?

Nan'an couldn't remember.

They arrived at the lab where the puppies were.

This is a small room, but it is divided into countless areas. The innermost part is separated by a glass plate. Judging from the small table full of pet supplies and the empty small bed, this is the puppy lived before.

The researcher leads the pup out.

Just like a normal dog, the pup is alive and kicking, even though it has no limbs or body.

Two data cables were tied to its head, all the way to the mechanical roller below, and then to the cut-off at the back of the head. Other than that, it had the same soft brown hair as a normal pup.

"Dr. Lin." The researcher said, "The test report has come out, and now it is very healthy and can be taken away."

Lin Ze nodded and took the rope.

"This bag contains the daily necessities for taking care of it." Another researcher took out a large cardboard box, "There are milk powder, nutrient solution, lubricating oil, after two weeks, you can feed dog food, and according to once every three days, To exchange food..."

Listening to the researcher's instructions, Nan'an quickly took out the booklet from his pocket, and carefully recorded it stroke by stroke.

The above title was written long ago - Nan'an's Puppy Guide.

By the way, a lot of Q-version bones were drawn on the side, and little hearts and stars were graffitied.

The researcher's description, while simple, is complex.

Just one feeding is detailed to each feeding, including the ratio with the nutrient solution and the frequency of use of the charging pump.

In just a few minutes, Nan'an felt a little sleepy.

Despite pinching the pencil, Nan An kept nodding, like a little perpetual motion machine.Feeling drowsy, his characters gradually became smaller, and finally became smeared, and became blurred shadows in front of his eyes, like tadpoles with small tails.

At this moment, he felt someone approaching, and then the booklet in his hand was taken away.

Nan An raised his eyes to look at him: "Huh?"

"Stop writing." Lin Ze said, "There is a manual."

"But I..."

Lin Ze interrupted him: "The Institute has all notified that there is a temporary meeting there."

"That's it." Nan An responded, rubbing his eyes, "Then do I need to go?"

"can."

Lin Ze's answers are always short, and Nan'an is used to this.

So he got up, looked at the puppies circling around Lin Ze, took a few steps forward, and wanted to take the rope leading the puppies.

At this moment, he heard Lin Ze say, "You are responsible for taking the paper bag."

Nan'an: "?"

He wants to lead the dog wow.

"Can I lead the dog?" Nan An whispered, his voice became softer than before, like a coquettish child, very well-behaved, even with a little crying voice, "Puppy is so cute Yeah."

Under such circumstances, Nan'an felt that no one would refuse.

After all, it's okay to cry.

But this big science looked unmoved, he glanced lightly at Nan'an.Did not speak.

So Nan'an looked at him obediently and blinked a few times.But Lin Ze still didn't say a word, he still looked expressionless, and after a long while, he said lightly: "Star Lantern."

Nan An obediently went to get the big paper bag.

Compared with the previous box, the contents of this cardboard box are a bit lighter, but Nan'an is still exhausted carrying it.

So he gave up carrying the paper bag, and instead held it with both hands, so that all he could see were a few hairs on the back of the paper bag.

He swayed left and right, like a little drunk robot, staggered in front of Lin Ze by the way.

But this human being has no conscience.

Nan'an: "!"

His dumb hair shook, as if angry.

Continuing to walk forward with a muffled voice, Nan An began to murmur in a low voice, condemning this heartless scientist.Just when he was about to hit the door frame, he suddenly felt his arms empty——Lin Ze took his paper bag.

Nan An was taken aback again.

He looked at Lin Ze, and saw that the other party handed the rope to him.

Nan'an: "?"

He felt deeply incomprehensible, looked at Lin Ze, but saw that the other party was also looking at him, with the tails of his eyes slightly raised, which was completely different from the expression after answering the communicator just now.

Nan An instantly understood.

The scientist teased him again!

Now Nan'an was really angry, so angry that his hair exploded.

He snorted softly, and swore to himself that if he trusted this human again next time, he would eat omelet rice twice a week as punishment.

After coming out of the laboratory, Nan'an followed Lin Ze to a meeting.

But Julia stayed in the lab.

I heard from her that an artificial mechanical eyeball is being developed. In addition to the basic needs of human eyes, it also has various functions such as temperature sensing, monitoring, and infrared rays. So now she needs to stay and conduct research in the laboratory.

"I didn't expect Julia to be so powerful." Nan'an led the puppy into the elevator, "I thought she was just an ophthalmologist." "She is."

Lin Ze pressed the elevator button on the tenth floor and continued, "I used to be in charge of the ophthalmology department of the hospital."

"And after that?"

"After Yinling and Rose split, she was urgently called into the research institute to conduct related eye research."

Nan An: "Oh..."

He watched the floor of the elevator continue to descend, and whispered: "So you developed your eyeballs?"

"In the past, it was only the cornea, the iris, etc., which were only partial." Lin Ze said, "Now the research is on the whole eyeball."

Nan'an nodded.

He knows that this is a symbol of human technological progress, and he is happy.

However, this means that the pressure on Lin Ze will become greater, and the book "The Law of the Rose" will be opened to a new page, and then it will be filled.

Nan An lowered his head and rubbed the rope a few times, then suddenly said, "I have a small request."

Lin Ze looked at him: "What?"

"Can I have a new copy of "The Law of the Rose" every month?" Nan An raised his eyes and continued to whisper, "I want to see what changes there are."

Lin Ze's gaze was on him.

After a few seconds, he nodded: "Yes."

Nan An: "Really?"

"On the [-]st of every month, I'll ask Ellie to deliver it." Lin Ze said, "If you haven't received it, just ask me to get it."

Nan An: "Yes."

He decided to watch "The Law of the Rose" carefully, read all the rules set by the big villain, and then praise him, just like he praised the virtual image just now.

They came all the way to the meeting place.

This is a semi-open flat floor with several desks, projections and screens.One side is supported by a row of pillars, all the way to the corridor - it is said that it is because of a temporary meeting, so the venue is vacant, so the meeting can only be held here.

When Nan'an brought the pup over, Ellie and Flo were there, besides that, Biddle and Freeman were sitting at the table.

Seeing so many familiar people, Nan'an felt at ease.

He knew that Lin Ze brought him here this time only because he didn't know the way back, so he brought him along.

But Nan'an doesn't like meetings.

He didn't understand why human beings love meetings so much. Meetings are held in the morning, at noon, and even at night-it seems to be a customary working rule in society.

But it doesn't apply to him, a mechanical cub.

He hugged the pup and followed Lin Ze.

So except for Ellie and the others, all the other researchers looked over, looking at it as if they were dealing with a strange thing.

Nan An felt that they were coveting his pups.

He leaned against Lin Ze, freed up a hand by the way, and quietly grabbed Lin Ze's uniform sleeve.

There was another small discussion sound.

Nan'an didn't understand, he turned his head to look at Lin Ze, and saw that the other party was expressionless, talking to Biddle calmly.

"We collected data from all the robots in the Second City." Biddle said, "After analysis, we found that more than half of the robots had battery problems, but in this case, these robots were not affected and still have a long battery life. ability."

Lin Ze: "Have you done a radio wave test?"

Biddle: "Batching, but still weird, everything is normal."

Lin Ze frowned.

"Today's meeting is about this topic." Biddle said, "In fact, it should be a report tomorrow morning, and then reported to the base, because the personnel of the data department need time to collect. But just now, they just sorted out the data of ten robots. Data, something went wrong."

As he spoke, he paused for a few seconds, and then said, "This is the test data."

Nan'an followed Lin Ze's line of sight, and saw that the display not far away lit up.It records various detection indicators of the robot - signal output, voltage, weight, load capacity, etc.

Almost everyone's eyes fell on the top, including Nan'an.In fact, he has seen these in the Kepler base, so he is no stranger to them.

Nan'an's gaze moved down.

In the lower position, there are input resistance, pulse, operating temperature, etc., although they have a little knowledge, but the data are displayed in green, which should be normal signs.

Until the last one, endurance.

Nan An was stunned.

"108 hours..." one of the researchers murmured, "Still under the condition that the battery has only reached 20%? How is this possible?"

The researchers discussed.

Nan'an followed Lin Ze and sat down at the table beside him.

"According to normal standards, the maximum battery life of this type of security robot is only 108 hours after being fully charged." A researcher suddenly asked, "Could it be a record error?"

"No." Ellie said, "It's my follow-up data, and the data department has already checked it, so it's impossible to make mistakes."

The whole scene fell into silence.

And the red number remained on the screen, making it stand out.

Lin Ze glanced at the data: "Only one?"

"Yes." Ellie said, "We are testing the security robots of the base. They are usually responsible for the security of the base and daily patrols. Everything is maintained by the base, and there is no damage."

"Notify the base."

"Yes!"

Nan'an turned his head to look at Lin Ze. For some reason, he felt that Lin Ze's eyes were very heavy, which was different from before.

Being a robot, he figured something might be wrong.

But what happens?

Nan'an couldn't imagine it.

Just when he was about to ask Ellie beside him, he heard an exclamation.

It was a sound from the corridor, very soft.But in just a second, there was a violent noise, as if something fell from a high place.

For a moment, everyone's attention was on the outside of the corridor.

But nothing happened.

At this moment, Lin Ze got up. He didn't stop or say a word. He took the silver gun and strode directly towards the corridor.Seeing this, Nan An hugged the pup and followed him in small steps.

The corridor is pure white lighting, including the tiles are also pure white, spotless.But Nan'an saw the blood, which spread all the way to the end.

The sound came from the fire escape next to the elevator.

When Lin Ze pushed open the door, the scene in front of him made everyone gasp.

A researcher fell down the stairs.

To be exact, it was no longer one. Half of his face was torn off, leaving only the white bone support.

In addition, the limbs were twisted together, as if they were forcibly twisted together by some huge force, whether it was the arms or the leg bones, they were all twisted at the chest position.

"Oh my god...what the hell is going on?"

"Quick! Contact the police—"

The scene became chaotic in an instant.

Nan'an's eyes fell on the researcher.

But after just looking at it for a few seconds, I felt something covering my vision.

Lin Ze covered his eyes.

"Wait in the corridor." His voice came from behind, "Don't run around."

"But I..."

Lin Ze: "Ai Li is outside to contact the police department, you should go too."

Nan'an had no choice but to respond.

He was taken away from the scene by Lin Ze, and then saw Julia and several others rushing over, and handed Lin Ze a pair of gloves at the same time.Nan'an couldn't see their specific movements, but could hear their voices.

"The fatal injury was in the back of the head, probably from falling down the stairs," Julia said.

"Is it an accident?"

"According to the current situation, it does seem like an accident that the wound was in the rear."

She paused for a few seconds, Nan An felt that she might be doing some kind of examination, and then heard her say: "The rest of the wounds are preliminarily determined to be not man-made wounds."

Lin Ze: "What do you mean?"

Julia: "Simply put, it's a wound that humans can't inflict."

……

They were still communicating, but the voice of the researcher around them covered it, and Nan'an didn't hear anything anymore.He took the communicator and number that Ellie gave him, and started to contact the police.

Although it appears that the investigation is continuing, everything is moving in the right direction.

But for some reason, he had a bad premonition, and slowly climbed up his back, gradually spreading to his limbs.

Not artificial words.

So what will it be?

Could it be that……

Nan'an raised his head sharply.

At this moment, the communicators of countless researchers rang. It was an urgent communication, repeated over and over again in a mechanically cold tone.

"The following is an urgent notice."

"The base has been invaded by unknown mechanical objects, please put the researchers on standby immediately."

The author says:

Two finished writing sooner, and it will be updated around eleven o'clock——
