Two days later.
Anne was once again called into a workshop in the engineering department of the Orville by the same group of guys who had not learned their lesson.
There, Anne discovered that everyone was enjoying the mobile phone and the video from this world that was playing four hundred years ago, as well as the beautiful sister who was introducing herself in the video.
Watching?
So, after observing for a while, she asked somewhat boringly:
"That is to say!"
o(*?^?*)
"Did you successfully open it as I was told?"
(?▽?)
As she said that, Annie looked directly at the weird uncle John, because she knew that he was in charge of the engineering department.
However, the fact that it took the other party two full days to repair the phone under her instructions was still a little too bad. If it were the earth four hundred years ago, an engineer with such poor skills would probably be reduced to the street.
The two-square-meter mobile phone repair shop in the corner of the street can't survive, right?
From this point alone, Anne felt that the opponent, who was known as the smartest brain in the Planetary Alliance, was not up to par.
In particular, she still remembered the glorious history of the other party being almost brainless twice by a group of aliens because he lost control of his emotions last time. That alone made her despise him.
"Yes!"
"At first we tried to charge it, but found that it still couldn't be turned on."
"Then, I simply upgraded and replaced its battery, upgrading its originally small battery storage capacity to the industry standard of our time, so that it can be used continuously for at least ten years without charging?"
"it's good now!"
"You can freely browse the information there and study it. I even made a data conversion head for it using the kind of data cable Annie mentioned, so that the content inside can be copied at any time.
come out."
John said with pride.
Although the battery inside was originally broken, after his reverse research, he found that the capacity of the thing was only an outrageous 2,000 mAh, so that it had to be charged after being used for a day at most?
But now, after he replaced the quantum battery with a new one, the capacity is at least 4,000 times its original size, which is a full 8 million mAh!
"Ten years?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"That's quite a long time."
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
After hearing what the other party said, Anne couldn't help but nodded with some shame, and then thought for a while before continuing to add:
"Four hundred years ago, even the best mobile phones on Earth could only be played for about one day, and could only be put on standby for two to three days if not used."
??(??￣?￣)????
"But ten years is too long to require charging. It is definitely not necessary. Mobile phones generally need to be replaced after two or three years."
(?~?)
With a flat mouth, Annie thought about the mobile phones she had used in Colson's world and Mikoto's world before she made sure to supplement and correct them.
"ah?"
"Wouldn't it be better to take it longer?"
"Why do we need to replace this kind of communication equipment in two or three years?"
"Mine was issued and I have been using it for I don't know how many years."
Hearing Anne's strange statement, the first mate Kelly on the side was a little puzzled and asked strangely. At the same time, she also said that their multi-functional communicator must be used as long as it is not broken, and there is no such thing.
To follow the argument of replacement.
"yes!"
"Why change?"
"I studied its hardware yesterday. Although it is indeed very backward compared to the technology of our era, with the technological level of mankind at that time, this kind of mobile phone will be used for ten or eight years without any problems.
of."
"It is precisely because of this that I adjusted its battery capacity and determined the time of ten years."
John was also a little puzzled and told his research results.
Anyway!
He is very confident in his own technical ability and business level. In his opinion, the integrated circuit board and chip of this mobile phone have reached the highest level of technology at that time, and it is a very mature civilian product, let alone a commercial product.
It has only been ten years, and even twenty years, he feels it is completely feasible as long as there are no violent blows or accidents such as falling from a height.
"……."
(￢д￢.)
"It can't be ten years, think about it..."
(O ^~^ O)
Although what these guys said seemed to be right, after thinking about it for a while, Anne still had to explain to them disdainfully:
"Although it can indeed be used for ten years or even longer, and it has not broken even after being stored for more than 400 years, but if it is not replaced for ten years, won't the manufacturer that produced it go bankrupt?"
(?￣??￣??)??°
"Those capitalists, they really want people to change their mobile phones every month. Now they only let people change their mobile phones every two or three years, which is already very merciful."
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
After saying the last words that even she didn't believe, Anne couldn't help but sigh, but did not continue to make any more comments.
"ah?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"No way?"
"I don't quite believe it."
"Me too."
Ed and Kelly looked at each other and didn't seem to understand, so they both shook their heads and said in denial with a smile.
"ha!"
"impossible!"
"I've seen it, and its hardware can be used normally for ten years or even more!"
"If I were a person of that era in 2015, I would never replace the battery after I bought it. I would replace the battery when the battery life was gone until it was completely broken. What could those manufacturers and capitalists do to me?"
Shaking his head, John looked disdainful and said angrily: He was not willing to believe Anne's statement that was full of loopholes.
"yes!"
"It has been sealed for four hundred years, but it can still be opened after changing the battery. It can be used normally for more than ten years, right?"
"It looks pretty good now and is very lightweight. Why should I change it?"
Gordon looked at the phone and expressed his agreement with John's statement. He couldn't help but take another deep look at the charming girl who called herself "Laura" on the screen of the phone. It was hard to look away from the other person's eyes.
Move away from your body.
"You are right, it is indeed possible!"
(?~?)
Regarding those claims, Anne had no intention of denying them, but just flattened her lips again.
"but……"
???(＿＿*)??
"Some capitalists will play tricks on the programs, and then often upgrade the system. After that, they will not delete and streamline those useless programs for you, which will occupy more phone memory and make your phone's system data more and more crowded.
It’s complicated, and the storage space is getting smaller and smaller, and then the phone will become more and more stuck and less smooth!”
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"When the time comes, if your experience is getting worse and worse, should you change it or change it?"
|???ω??)??
Anne said that the childish ideas of these idiots in front of her had been cracked by the black-hearted capitalists and manufacturers four hundred years ago.
It involves the term 'planned obsolescence', which is a conspiracy strategy used by many industrial products. It means: intentionally designing products with a limited service life so that their actual service life is shorter than what their physical properties allow.
Once it has reached its limit, it is ready to be scrapped after its designed life, thereby stimulating consumers to continue buying similar products to obtain more sales profits.
That’s what mobile phones are like!
The actual lifespan of the various spare parts on that thing may indeed be more than ten years. However, those people with too many minds will use various precise calculation methods to achieve perfect experience for only three years or even less at most.
It has a long service life, and once the time is up, various problems may begin to occur or it may no longer be able to be used normally.
In short, they have many ways to force people to change their mobile phones. Unless people can make up their minds and never update the system, never watch videos or play any games, and just use their mobile phones as communication tools?
And if you can't do it, then you have to accept your fate and replace it in two to three years, or at most four to five years. There is no other way!
"ah!"
"how so?"
"Were the capitalists four hundred years ago so terrible?"
"This is crazy!"
"my God!"
"Today, four hundred years later, if anyone in the Planetary Alliance dares to do this, they will definitely be sent to prison!"
"that is!"
"And I can guarantee that if any manufacturer or company dares to mess around like that, people will definitely sue it for bankruptcy!"
"It's too crazy..."
"That's a crime!"
"Excessive!"
“Isn’t this deceiving and exploiting consumers?”
"Treating people as slaves?!"
After hearing Annie's statement, everyone who suddenly came over naturally denounced and loudly denounced with righteous indignation.
However, they quickly reacted, thinking that this mobile phone was already a product more than 400 years ago, and those black-hearted capitalists were probably all dead by now, and they didn’t even know if they had any descendants. If they went to denounce more
There seemed to be no point in saying more, so I had to shut my mouth angrily.
"alright!"
"Everyone, please save your worries."
"What people did four hundred years ago, it is not our turn four hundred years later to judge. After all, that era has passed for a long time and has become a history to be studied. We cannot imagine and dry
of."
At this time, the doctor of history, who Anne didn't quite recognize, didn't remember her name and didn't seem to be very good at history, spoke up, and reluctantly smiled dryly to appease Ed, Kelly and everyone else.
"Anyway!"
"Commander John, the work you do is really important and amazing to us!"
"The chat records, messages, call records, photos and videos and other data in this mobile phone are very important for our museum to study the earth four hundred years ago and the real life and habits of humans on earth!"
"You helped us discover a huge treasure. I believe this will definitely set off a storm in the academic world of history in our time!"
"Please be sure to extract the data from this phone and give me a copy, please!"
Then, the other party sincerely pleaded with John.
"You want a copy of the data?"
"That's no problem!"
"It's very simple, I can give it to you tomorrow!"
"certainly!"
"When the time comes, I will put it into the database of the Orville. It is only 64 gigabytes in size. You can download it in less than half a second."
With slumped shoulders, John responded with all his heart, indicating that he had no reason to refuse such a simple thing.
"It would be great!"
"I will download it and take a look at it then."
"Me too!"
"And me, this is really fun!"
Hearing this, including the doctor, Ed, Kelly, Gordon and others also echoed and praised.
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
But Anne was not interested, and instead gave everyone a blank look.
"Nothing to see!"
(′～`●)
"You should go somewhere else to play!"
o(▽｀ o)=3
After saying that and seeing that nothing happened, Annie planned to turn around and leave.
"!
"
!(?o?;)
"that……"
(??ω??)
However, before she had even taken two steps, she turned back again and asked cautiously:
"The canned herring that day may have been broken, or..."
|???ω??)??
"Let's try using that food synthesis machine to make a fresh one?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Anne blinked her beautiful big green eyes and suggested cutely, looking eager to try.
"!
"
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"That's right!"
"brat!"
"I have ordered that the 'canned herring' option be permanently deleted from all food synthesis machines on the ship. Your prank will not succeed!"
"God damn it!"
"The smell is unimaginable. Humans four hundred years ago would actually eat those stinking herring carcasses?"
"vomit!
"
"I can not make it!"
“I can’t help but think about that smell!”
"yes……"
"If Isaac hadn't turned on the exhaust system in time and cracked the door lock, I think I would have been suffocated on the spot!"
"That's terrible!"
"Indeed, I walked around the war conference room when I saw it. The smell there still lingers!"
"I strongly suggest that you use high-temperature rays to burn the floors and walls of the conference room?"
As soon as Anne finished speaking, Captain Ed, John, Gordon, First Mate Kelly and the doctor all turned pale with horror, and then they all expressed their thoughts and some suggestions.
It can be seen that the experience two days ago indeed left an indelible shadow in their hearts?
"that……"
(°ー°〃)
"Is it because the can has been stored for a long time?"
?(⊙?⊙)?
"If we get a new one, it won't be that bad!"
?(?^o^?)?
"Would you like to try it?"
?(????)?
Anne didn't care what they thought, and she didn't care how terrible their experience was when they were locked in the war conference room by her. Now she just smiled mischievously and strongly suggested.
Then, she pointed to the food synthesis machine embedded in the wall in the corner of the engineering department office, with the idea of ​​​​rushing to implement it as soon as she got the approval.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"no!"
"Don't try to lie to me!"
"I tried it after I went back that day, and the smell of the new canned herring is still the same. At most, it's just not that serious?"
"That's really terrible!"
"I haven't dared to go back to my room for two days."
At this time, before Ed and others could speak, Gordon quickly added and exposed Annie's terrible idea on the spot.
"Oh well!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"Then someone will treat you to something delicious some other time?"
(lll￢ω￢)
While feeling regretful, Annie began to think again.
She remembered that besides the rotten and fermented canned fish, there seemed to be other interesting foods, such as stinky tofu or durian.
"Don't!"
"Annie..."
"Please!"
"I have issued an order that it is strictly prohibited to synthesize certain alternative foods with pungent smells on the ship!"
"So, can you please stop for a moment?"
Ed's face was serious, but he still looked contented.
He now roughly understands why humans four hundred years ago would legislate to strictly prohibit the consumption of those rotten dark foods indoors. The day before yesterday, they were locked in the conference room with that horrible thing by the hateful little girl in front of them.
The end of the story also fully illustrates that point!
"Little Annie!"
"let me tell you!"
"We will never forgive you for what happened that day!"
The first mate Kelly next to her also straightened her face after resisting a subconscious feeling of vomiting, and solemnly explained her attitude and stance towards Anne's 'atrocity' that day.
"That's right!"
"Seconded!"
"Never forgive!"
"forever!"
Immediately afterwards, Ed, Gordon, John and the unknown doctor all agreed and once again cast stern and terrifying cannibalistic looks at Anne.
Although, it was more than the first time for them to do this in the past two days, but when they thought about that kind of thing, they still couldn't help but want to beat someone up.
"Is that so?"
(′～`●)
"If you don't forgive, don't forgive!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"Anyway, I have already forgiven myself!"
(????-)
For Anne, who has always been heartless, she doesn't mind the resentful looks from Aunt Kelly and Aunt Claire!
because……
She did it on purpose, so why would she mind if they didn't forgive her?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Then I'll leave first, and you can continue to study that shabby cell phone slowly!"
?(￣??)???
After saying that, after seeing that there was indeed nothing interesting or rare happening here, Annie hummed a song and picked up her little bear, turning around and walking away, still without any intention of correcting or introspecting.
