Chapter 226 Deep Virtual Reality 53
"Ning, I heard there's a company-sponsored social dance party the day after tomorrow night. Are you going?"
Annika handed the data to Xie Ning, her eyes glancing at the test subjects with admiration, not for their superior appearance, but for the perfect data she had processed.
"I won't go. There's a test tomorrow, and there'll definitely be a lot of data to process afterwards." Xie Ning picked up his coat from the back of the chair and went out with Annika.
"It's such a pity. If you had worn a gorgeous dress to the banquet, you would have been very popular with the men... Speaking of dresses, I spent a long time looking through them while I was slacking off today, and I realized that I don't have a dress suitable for a banquet yet. It's a pity that I haven't been paid yet, otherwise I would definitely have gone to the shopping mall to buy a new one."
Now, even if she doesn't like it or thinks it's unsuitable, she can only wear the old clothes.
“I remember you just bought a new one last week.” Xie Ning swiped her iris to enter the elevator.
"That was last week, and it was a short skirt, not elegant enough. I was hoping to meet my soulmate at the party. We people who spend all our time in the lab and have few holidays, we always see the same few people, it's impossible to find a boyfriend. Sigh."
Annika glanced at Xie Ning and asked, "Ning, don't you want to find a male companion? Anyone would go crazy spending all their time with cold data and experimental subjects."
Xie Ning paused for a moment, then said, "Compared to chatting with men, I prefer immersing myself in the world of data."
The technology here is so advanced, she doesn't even have time to study, why would she want to find a man?
“Bookworm!” Annika scoffed.
That day, the combat capability tests of the five test subjects were completed ahead of schedule, so Xie Ning was able to leave work early. While everyone else went to the party, she had the time to go to Andrei's place to modify and replace the children's prosthetic limbs.
It was still working hours, so there were few people on the maglev train. Outside the window were skyscrapers that looked like steel giants, lacking the vibrant colors of the night and appearing somewhat desolate. A light drizzle was still falling from the gray sky, a characteristic of this world.
As the arrival announcement sounded, the familiar dark gray building silhouettes came into view. This place was far from the center, and the buildings looked more dilapidated and decayed, even the neon lights were dimmer than elsewhere.
Turning the corner, the further in you go, the more lively the surroundings become. There are more and more neon lights, and the streets are still bustling. Andrei, who was squatting on the side of the street idly poking at the robot's head, saw Xie Ning and his eyes lit up instantly. He ran over to her with a trot.
"Thank you, Ms. Xie."
"Sorry, I went back to get my toolbox. I've kept you waiting."
"It's alright, it's alright," Andrei quickly waved his hand.
The rooftop hadn't changed much. Xie Ning opened his toolbox and, seeing that there were no outsiders present, asked, "They're androids, aren't they?"
It is a declarative tone.
The children sitting nearby suddenly became uneasy, while Rella and Andrei froze, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at each other. Rella asked in a low voice, "You told...?"
"No, I didn't!" Andrei said, feeling wronged. Was he the kind of person who would talk nonsense?
"Ms. Xie, if you don't want to..."
"Did I say I didn't want to?" Xie Ning asked, puzzled as to why Rella would think that way. She then opened one of the small compartments and took out a glove.
"To me, there is no difference between androids and humans. The only difference is that when modifying prosthetics, I need to test their tolerance. However, androids have genetic defects, so I need to know their current age in order to control the degree of modification."
Hearing Xie Ning's gentle explanation, the two breathed a sigh of relief and began to introduce the children to her.
Some of them were quite old, and the oldest was Rella, who was seven years old.
This is her factory age; her physical age is frozen at nineteen. She has not awakened any superpowers, but she possesses extremely strong medical talent.
Andrei, however, was a real human who had lived with his grandmother since childhood. He didn't say how he and Rella got together and adopted android and human children, but their encounter must have been beautiful.
Xie Ning wrote down all the data and only started making modifications for them after completing the analysis.
......
Little Bell covered her eyes in amazement. Not only could she see a colorful world, but these eyes could also see very, very far, and even help her analyze things. Little Bell felt so happy she almost fainted.
Lycia jumped up nervously, only to hit her head on the ceiling. Xie Ning chuckled and caught her, then taught her how to control her prosthetic limb.
Then she crossed out the design in the notebook. She had tried to modify it, but it could only increase the jumping power of the prosthetic limb. If Lycia used it well, she could jump from the roof of this building to the roof of another building.
The levitation technology is still difficult to integrate; it can only lift people up to about five centimeters, and it's hard to control their movement. She needs to go back and study it further.
Only a few others succeeded. Xie Ning silently noted them down, then sent the completed spreadsheet to Andrei and Rella, asking them to remember to provide feedback.
All failures must be corrected and improved.
