Chapter 316: Indenture



Lin Qingliu did not intend to explain the origin of the robotic arm in detail to the [Sky Curtain] in front of him.

There is no need for the other party to know.

These two robotic arms are creations from mankind's golden age, that is, the spaceship age. They embody extremely high levels of technology. Even if Ji Yongxing were to disassemble them and study them carefully, it would be difficult to replicate them perfectly.

Many of these components are no longer available in Hope City in theory or in practice.

At this time, in the entire Hope City, there was only one person who could take out such valuable items, and that was Wan Juan, who was guarding the spire and could only move back and forth between his room, the cabin where the host was located, and the data center.

During the last communication, the two sides also exchanged information about [Sky Curtain]. Wanjuan only then realized that the program that often came to hang out on the host machine was also a friend in a certain sense.

She had not known about this before, and she had spared the other person's life simply because she wanted to observe, and she even helped to clean up the mess several times.

Although Tianmu always stole computing power from the institute's mainframe by disguising itself as the institute's computers, this kind of thing could not be concealed from Wanjuan at all.

It can even be said that if the mycelium outside the city exists in the form of a computer virus, then Wanjuan alone can completely eliminate it without leaving any trace of garbage data.

After learning that the other party was a new type of artificial intelligence, Wan Juan gave to Lin Qingliu the arm that he had used before and had now dismantled in order to disguise himself as a human.

Wanjuan is an artificial intelligence created by mankind during its most glorious period. From the moment it was activated, it enjoyed almost endless memory space and computing power.

Even if the main program is placed on a machine, this machine is still the crystallization of human technology and wisdom. It has more materials than you can imagine, and its versatility in its complete state is limitless.

Therefore, even as an artificial intelligence, Wan Juan found it hard to imagine that there is an artificial intelligence in this world that cannot upload its own body at will and its entire body is packed in a hard leather suitcase that can be folded and taken away.

This feeling is not like a healthy person seeing a disabled person, but more like a young lady who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth learning for the first time that there are beggars in the world.

It's really a refreshing worldview.

Perhaps it was out of overflowing sympathy, or perhaps it was out of concern for the younger generation who were born under such conditions, Wanjuan gave his unused arm to Tianmu through Lin Qingliu, without requiring the other party to pay any price. His concern was evident to all.

But it would be unscientific not to pay a price for such a good thing after it passed through Lin Qingliu's hands.

So, after recognizing a human as his godfather and signing an electronic labor dispatch contract for fifty years with only obligations but no rights, and no wages, bonuses, performance allowances, subsidies, insurance, or rest holidays, the less than one-year-old Tianmu finally happily got the pair of robotic hands he wanted.

Lin Qingliu gave him these arms directly, and the price was just a negligible fifty years of free labor.

In response to this, Lin Qingliu gave the following reason: For artificial intelligence whose lifespan is almost endless, what does a short fifty years count for?

Of course, he didn't actually intend to exploit [Sky Curtain] for that long. It wasn't like the other party's creator didn't want this guy anymore. He couldn't come to visit the foster family and find that his own child was a slave there. That would be hell.

There are only two reasons why Lin Qingliu did this. First, he felt that he needed some help from Tianmu. After all, he couldn't go to Ji Yongxing for everything. If he wanted to improve his knowledge level, it would be good to have the help of such an artificial intelligence.

As for the other reason, it was simply because this guy was too noisy. Today he wanted to add wheels, and tomorrow he wanted to dye the shell green. Lin Qingliu needed to improve his status to ensure that his orders would be obeyed by the other party.

After connecting the long-awaited new hardware to his own interface, Tianmu felt it for a while and discovered a sad fact:

My other hardware is a bit poor and cannot support these two advanced accessories.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is also very reasonable.

These two hands were high-end ones that Wan Juan had used before. The data fed back by the large number of precise sensors on them alone was enough to make Tianmu's current processor drink a pot, not to mention the manipulation of other details.

Under the influence of various debuffs, the sky curtain is like a small horse pulling a big cart to these arms.

Seeing that he was already dizzy from the flood of data, Tianmu finally took the initiative to cut off the connection with the two external accessories.

He looked at Lin Qingliu with hope:

"Please help me upgrade the accessories. I can do anything."

The man in front of him, whose facial features were a little blurry, seemed to have a smile on his face. He nodded and said lightly:

"Draft a contract."

On the screen of the sky, the expression disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a newly opened document.

"Today, there is an artificial intelligence [Tianmu] (hereinafter referred to as Party A), which borrows 500,000 information coins from the human Lin Qingliu (hereinafter referred to as Party B), with a monthly interest..."

After selling out his future for the second time, Lin Qingliu took out several accessories that he had prepared long ago and began to modify the skylight bit by bit.

After restarting, Tianmu felt the presence of the two arms.

With the hardware upgrade, he felt completely different from last time.

If the last time was when I fainted directly from the impact of massive data, this time it was like embracing waves one after another while bearing the weight.

Although carrying the weight made Tianmu feel uncomfortable, it also enhanced his stability, preventing him from fainting easily.

In this way, he finally experienced the true top technology.

Such smooth joints, such realistic design, such sensitive sensors...

At this moment, in Tianmu's eyes, all the beauty in the world was concentrated on these two arms.

For a pair of treasures like this, what kind of top-notch work would be considered worth the money?

As Tianmu was eagerly waiting, Lin Qingliu gently placed a strip of object in his hands.

The advanced sensors quickly brought a large amount of data. Before Tianmu could react, the data had already been analyzed into conclusions:

A cylindrical hollow stainless steel metal with a lateral extension at the heavier end and a large number of plastic filaments on top...

Tianmu's processor gave the answer that he didn't want to hear or see.

Lin Qingliu's big hand knocked on his hood again:

"Go, first task, sweep the dust over there. It's so hard to clean it after the renovation."

Seeing that Tianmu was indifferent, he added:

"Turn the fan down a bit so it doesn't blow everywhere."
