Looking at the robotic hands and tractor beams that were busy on the engineering workbench, Hao Ren asked the laboratory's analysis host, "How long will it take to fix her?"
"It is estimated to take 48 hours," the analysis host quickly answered. "The damage is too severe. Some of the logic circuits can no longer be deduced in reverse. The default plan is to use a universal module to replace it. As it is not possible to determine the adaptability of the artificial intelligence to the universal module, a lot of testing and virtual booting are required."
A full 48 hours … The Petrachelys only needed a week to be repaired to the point where it could take off again, but it would take two days and two nights to repair the robot adjutant from the indigenous civilization. It was a little disappointing, but Hao Ren understood.
He was the one who personally transported the wreckage back. Of course, he knew the condition of the robot adjutant. The process of repairing it could hardly be described as a "repair". It was almost a reconstruction, a reconstruction of a product under a new technological system. The analysis host could forcibly complete the process with its powerful research and calculation ability, but the massive virtual testing required in the process could not be skipped.
Nolan had a ready-made blueprint for self-recovery, but no one could get their hands on the blueprint of this robot lady.
"It's not enough to just repair the hardware," Vivian said. "The most important thing is her memory … Can you extract the memory bank first? Even if the logic circuit can't be repaired, we can still know what's in her mind. "
"The AI module used by this object is relatively special. The memory bank and logic circuit are inseparable, and the logic circuit is rooted in the motherboard. This structure means that the original logic circuit must be used to accurately read the memory bank. In other words, only its original logic circuit can understand the files in its memory bank. Therefore, it is recommended to try to read the memory bank after the basic repair work is completed."
After a while, the analysis host added a few more sentences. "Or you can try to forcibly crack the memory bank, but the probability of data damage is 50%."
"Forget it. It's just a matter of two more days," Hao Ren waved his hand. "Are you sure it can be repaired?"
"It can be repaired to 70%. When the object wakes up, it may be completely repaired with its active cooperation."
The analysis host gave a more satisfactory answer this time.
"Do you think this robot adjutant will cooperate with us after it wakes up?" Nangong Sanba, who had come over to watch the show, asked, "My impression of AI is quite rigid. What if she's programmed with some kind of recognition module and automatically enters berserk mode when she meets a stranger?"
Before Hao Ren could say anything, the MDT smashed its brick on Sanba's head. "Watch what you say. I'm a super advanced and flexible AI assistant! I'm not rigid at all! "
Hao Ren casually pushed the hot-tempered brick aside and said, "Go away, sometimes I wish you could be more rigid and save a lot of nonsense. Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if the robot doesn't cooperate. After all, after fixing the motherboard and logic circuits, Nolan can directly interfere with her thoughts. It's better if she actively cooperates. If she doesn't want to cooperate, I can just unplug her hard drive and card reader and plug them into Nolan. He can still read her … "
Nangong Sanba scratched his head and said, "Although there's nothing wrong with what you said, why do I feel that something is wrong?"
It would take some time to fix the robot lady. Hao Ren did not quite understand the specific process, so he simply left the matter to the laboratory host to complete while he returned to the crew rest area.
The living quarters were the most well-preserved part of the spaceship. Because it was located deep in the spaceship, it had not suffered any physical impact during the attack and the crash. Although it had lost gravity and power supply for a while, after Nolan reorganized the energy flow of the spaceship, it had been fully restored. There was a small bar in the center of the living quarters. Although it was a small bar, it was fully functional and spacious, and there was a variety of drinks produced by the synthesis mechanism at any time. It was the favorite place for the crew to hang out when the spacecraft was on a long-distance mission. Now that no one had any mission, and outside the spacecraft was a strange and dangerous planet, no one was interested in going out for a night trip. So everyone came here one after another and began to chat and play cards to kill time.
An autonomous robot floated behind the silver-white bar, temporarily playing the role of a bartender. Its mechanical tentacles were twisting and turning in the air, doing the work of mixing drinks in a dazzling manner. But in fact, it was useless, because except for Nangong Sanba, no one in the family liked cocktails. Hao Ren just felt that a bar should have a bartender who could throw a bunch of glasses all over the place to create the atmosphere, so he assigned the autonomous robot the task of pretending to be a bartender …
As soon as Hao Ren sat down at the bar, Rollie came over. The cat girl nimbly climbed onto the high barstool and waved at the bartender. "I want a glass of vodka!"
Hao Ren said, "Give her a glass of warm water, no sugar."
Rollie continued, "And fish in hot chili oil!"
"Give her a bowl of cat food — with a small piece of dried fish, the kind with less salt."
The bartender quickly prepared the cat girl's food, and the latter held the bowl with a happy face. "Thank you, Big Boss Cat …"
The cat girl actually had no idea what she ordered. She learned it from the TV and other people's conversations. So every time she asked the bartender for food, Hao Ren had to correct her, or she would poison herself sooner or later. Not all food could be given to cats, and the worst part was that the cat wanted to try everything. She even wanted onion rings and garlic last time …
Hao Ren asked for a glass of iced cola, using the cold drink to cool his slightly heated brain so that he could think about the mysterious planet. Lily was sitting not far away with a glass of iced cola, crunching on the ice while watching the Nangong siblings and Y 'zaks playing Fight the Landlord. Occasionally, she would randomly direct the game and seemed to be in high spirits.
"Bartender! Give me two plates of edamame! "Y 'zaks called out as he played his cards.
Then, Nangong Wuyue's voice came. "Give me some tea too …"
Y 'lisabet, who was playing with Lil Pea in the far corner, also shouted, "I want ten mutton skewers!"
"And two chopsticks!" It was undoubtedly Lil Pea's voice.
"Hao Ren, to be honest, I've long advised you to turn this place into a chess room." Vivian sat down next to Hao Ren. "Do you think anyone in our family is compatible with a bar? Even a barbecue stand would be better than this."
Hao Ren waved his hand. "There should be a bar on the spaceship! Don't you think it's very cool for a pilot to come back to the spaceship bar after a space mission? And what the hell is a barbecue stand on the spaceship … "
Nangong Sanba, who was playing cards, also chimed in. "That's right. And who said that there's no one to take care of the liquor business? Am I not human? How am I going to get cocktails in a chess room?"
Vivian rolled her eyes. "Eight people ordering peanuts, edamame, and kidney in a bar or one person ordering cocktails in a chess room. Which one do you think is more abnormal?"
Hao Ren thought for a while and felt that it made sense …
Vivian pursed her lips and gently swirled the juice in her hand. She looked thoughtful. "Hao Ren, don't you think this planet … is a little strange?"
"Strange? You mean the First Born of this planet? "
"Yes, I heard from Nolan that the First Born of this planet is in a very 'inert' state. There are traces of survivors and rebels carrying out bombing missions all over the continent, but the First Born on the planet only made a very limited counterattack. It doesn't look like it's going crazy, but it doesn't look like it's sane either, because it doesn't show any signs of communication. And when it's attacked, it's quite decisive. Although there's no follow-up attack, it's still merciless in its counterattack."
"And there's no obvious change in the tentacles of the First Born after the lullaby system is activated." Hao Ren nodded. "Under normal circumstances, once the lullaby system is activated, the tentacles of the First Born will show signs of short tremors, stiffness, and wilting. In serious cases, there will even be organic atrophy and surface shedding. This is caused by the shutdown of the nervous system. But it has been nearly 48 hours since Nolan started the lullaby system, and the main tentacle closest to us seems to be completely unaffected."
"Maybe it's another special model?"
"God knows." Hao Ren shook his head. "Anyway, it's good news that the First Born of this planet is not so active. Our safety factor will be greatly improved."
Vivian could not agree more with this.
Just then, Nolan's voice interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts. "Boss, I found something here."
Hao Ren looked at the mechanical bartender in front of him. "Bring it over."
The bartender lifted a mechanical tentacle into the air, and a holographic image of Nolan immediately appeared at the front of the tentacle. The shipgirl waved at Hao Ren. "Boss, I fixed a set of optical observation module of the spacecraft, and then looked up at the sky. Guess what I saw?"
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows. "Don't keep me guessing. What's in the sky?"
Nolan switched the image directly. A huge, silver-white, egg-like space structure appeared on the holographic projection, and the background of the projection was the bright universe of stars.
"Oh, oh —" Lily could not help but exclaim after seeing the 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 deductions. He quickly put together the information he had collected so far and his usual thoughts. A thought then emerged from the messy information.
"Let me guess … this is the giant spacecraft that was launched into space as recorded on the relief?"
