Green Olive District, Antanna Street, a shop converted into a dilapidated warehouse.

Gnava, wearing a long cloak, followed Jiang Baimian and others in.

It is filled with electronic components in various ways, as messy as if the ruins of the city had been bombed.

The boss is a Honghe native. He is sitting behind a ragged table and is repairing the walkie-talkie with different tools.

Feeling the shadows over, he looked up at the door, and his eyes soon fell on Bai Chen's face.

"What parts do you want this time?" asked the light yellow-bearded boss, "You haven't appeared in two years, right?"

"More than that." Bai Chen responded briefly, then went straight to the topic, "Is there a broken robot that is not repaired?"

The boss's eyes lit up:

"You are an expert in finding this field and want to make a profit by repairing robots?"

A robot that is completely damaged and has poor repair can only be sold into electronic components. If the situation is better, it can be sold for one or two thousand Ores. If it is severely damaged, two or three hundred Ores may not be able to be recycled. It is likely to be sold as scrap iron and scrap steel, which is quite cheap.

The repaired combat robots are products that are priceless in the entire "First City" sphere of influence, which is much more expensive than buying military exoskeleton devices in the "old commissioning team" at the time.

This companion who is absolutely reliable and has strong combat power and is immune to many influences is the "dream lover" of all ruin hunters. If you have the conditions, you want to get one, and the more you have the best.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong did not interrupt and handed the stage to Bai Chen, who was most familiar with the place.

Bai Chen replied calmly:

“That’s right.

"A gentleman is buying broken robots and wants to develop a new model by disassembly and researching their components. His bid is higher than most people on the market, and I want to come here to try your luck."

"Which big force is the person?" The boss put down the walkie-talkie and tools in his hand.

If you are not a member of a major force, even if you create a new model of combat robot, you will not be able to mass produce and make profits.

If you want to assemble one of the various electronic components by yourself, you may not be able to get it all in two or three years.

"I don't care which big force it is, I only care about the price he offered." Bai Chen's expression did not change at all.

The boss stood up and muttered a few words:

“It reminds me of the old world saying: The arms merchant who does not sell weapons to hostile forces is not a good arms merchant.

"In Antan Street, I have seen several people killed by their customers. I hope you are not the next one."

He picked up the greasy cloth, wiped the greasy hands, and walked towards the door leading to the rear area.

This is a front store and back warehouse layout.

Jiang Baimian and others followed closely behind.

Compared with the messy outside, the warehouse was unexpectedly neat, with different electronic components and different old world electrical appliances placed in different places in different categories.

At first glance, Long Yuehong actually saw two robot bodies.

One of them has close to fragmentation, many missing parts, one has a hole in the chest, and the rest are intact, but the metal skeleton looks slender and the overall is quite "slim".

"You are not lucky." The boss pointed to the bodies of the two robots and said, "A recently a ruin hunter came back from the blood-colored wasteland and packed them and sold them to me.

"One is a robot that specializes in repairing the power grid, which can be transformed into an all-round type. Uh, I mean the all-round in the repair field..."

"Can we repair humans?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

The boss thought about it seriously:

“It should be possible.

"A robot with a wrench, 1.9 meters tall, and a body full of iron, can't beat an ordinary human?"

"At least five." Shang Jianyao helped calculate.

"And, its main module does not restrict its use of submachine guns, assault rifles, and grenade guns. As long as it can be repaired, it is still a very popular companion." As a businessman, the boss praised it first, "The problem now is that the damage is too serious, and there are too many parts that need to be replaced or repaired, including the main chip."

Isn’t this a waste product? Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart.

The boss instead introduced another body:

"This is a maid-type robot. It has a high level of artificial intelligence, but there is no attack module. It is said that before the old world was destroyed, they would have a layer of artificial leather when they left the factory, and their appearance looked very close to us humans.

"This damage is fine, but the main chip is blown away..."

The boss's voice became less and less, as if he could not pass the level of his conscience by saying this.

For a robot, the main chip is the most technologically irreplaceable and hard to repair.

After a pause, the boss became more confident:

"Anyway, you are selling it to others for research. These two models can broaden his horizons and enrich his knowledge base."

"It makes sense." Slap, Shang Jianyao applauded.

Bai Chen nodded:

"Put a price."

The boss smiled:

"The repair robot is 1,500 Ore, which is very popular, and many electronic components can be used on other robots.

"That maid-type robot, Eighth Borde, is really, very cheap. Even if it is sold into electronic components, I can at least take back sevenh Borde. If I protect myself, I might get one thousand."

After touching the "wallet" that was not thick, Jiang Baimian muttered:

“The level of artificial intelligence is very high…”

She whispered at Gnava, who was wearing a cape.

Gnava nodded slowly.

Although the maid-type robot has no functions, it only lacks the main chip. At that time, install the backup chip carrying the "source brain" clone up, repair the surrounding lines, and change the battery compartment to try to activate it.

He understood the team leader's hint, and Bai Chen, who saw Gnava's movement, began to bargain.

In the end, the "old tuner team" bought the maid-type robot for 720 Aure.

Jiang Baimian silenced himself while stuffing the banknotes to Bai Chen:

“It’s time to apply for new funding…”

The exploration of the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 can be reported to the above, indicating that the previous expenses have been implemented.

The only thing Jiang Baimian needs to consider is how to inform the company of the secret laboratory without involving Gnava.

…………

In the Red Giant Wolf District, the apartment rented by the "old adjustment team".

Shang Jianyao pressed the start switch solemnly.

Then, he took two steps back and stood with Jiang Baimian and others to stare at the silver-gray maid robot.

A red light quickly popped up in the maid robot's eyes. After a flash, it moved its head left and right.

"This..." It made a soft female voice.

Jiang Baimian wanted to congratulate him, but finally chose to smile.

The maid robot's speech speed suddenly accelerates:

"Why don't there be any weapon module?

“There are many useful modules…

"Only sweep the floor, mop the floor, cook, wash dishes, and clean the windows..."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Long Yuehong always feels that the “source brain” clone in front of her is much more humanized than in the laboratory, and there are signs of emotional collapse.

He guessed that there were two reasons:

First, the "source brain" clone has completely separated from the subject and is no longer under control. The corresponding core modules are gradually developing towards humanization. Second, this maid-type robot has a very good bearing capacity for artificial intelligence.

Jiang Baimian, who had already finished writing, took a breath, stepped forward, and said with a smile:

“This is a stopgap.”

When the red light in the maid robot's eyes hit her, she explained sincerely:

"You also know that it is very, very difficult to get a good combat robot in the initial city. It may not be possible in one year or two, or even three or four years.

"For such a long time, even if we are willing to keep our promises and actively fulfill our contracts, we cannot withstand the possibility of accidents.

"You also know what our mission is. If we die one day before we have time to find a suitable body for you, will you be completely finished?"

"Bao, babe, baby talks without restraint, the strong wind blows away!" The honest Shang Jianyao looked disgusted.

Jiang Baimian glared at him, and saw that the maid robot had "calmed" and smiled again:

"So, let's find you a body that can carry that chip first, and then you can upgrade whatever you want, no longer rely on others, relying on mountains and mountains to fall, relying on water and water to wither, and relying on yourself is the king.

"Look, we have also prepared an additional grenade launcher for you. Gnava has researched it. You can install it after a little modification."

The maid robot's eyes flashed a little red, and the silver-gray metal palm stretched forward:

“What you said is indeed very reasonable.

"Thank you for keeping your promise."

Several members of the "Old Transfer Group" all breathed a sigh of relief, including Gnava.

Jiang Baimian then stretched out his left hand and shook it with the other party.

The maid robot retracted the metal palm and said with relief:

“I will tell Gnava how to remove residual information now.

"By the way, from now on, please call me 'Alpha', and this will be the starting point for everything."

ps: This time, China Literature held a salon in Hainan and also created a writer training class. I finally couldn't escape the lecture class for a year. Today I had to talk for three hours, which was miserable. Then there was a live broadcast event held by China Literature and Video Account at night. So, I smiled and asked for a leave of absence, and there was no update at night.
