Chapter 229 Extra 8
The timekeeping method used on the spacecraft is slightly different. There are 30 hours in a day, so according to the time on the spacecraft, it is now the first night after the system was suspended.
“Knock, knock.”
Lu Ming heard a knock on the door, listlessly got up from the bed and opened the door.
Lan, who was standing outside the door, smiled and said, "Good evening, Captain. May I come in?"
"certainly."
Lu Ming opened the door, turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room, and asked Lan who came in, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lan sat down across from her and shook his head, "I haven't received any new information."
"So why are you here?"
"Xing detected that you haven't eaten for over twenty-five hours since you woke up, so he asked me to check on you."
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you the artificial intelligence of the reincarnation system? Why are you still involved in these matters? I feel like you've become my personal butler now."
Unexpectedly, Lan nodded. "Your feeling is correct. In addition to managing the reincarnation system, one of my duties is to assist the captain in handling matters on the ship."
"Really?" Lu Ming was a little surprised. She asked, "What about Xing? Isn't she the main system of the spacecraft? Why have I never seen her avatar robot?"
"Xing's intelligence level is not high enough, so there are no simulacrum robots. Her main responsibility is to maintain the stable operation of the spacecraft."
"Is that so? Aren't you very busy? You have to take care of everything."
Lan laughed, then said seriously, "Actually, my computing power is very strong. When I'm working, it's my self-learning program, not my work, that takes up most of my memory."
"Study? Study what?"
"A lot. For example, all the knowledge built into my database, how people behave like humans, how humans express emotions, how to express humor, and so on."
"Sense of humor? Then tell me a joke?" Lu Ming suddenly became curious.
Lan replied, "I'll tell you next time you're in a bad mood. Now, eat. Hunger is very harmful to a body that has just woken up."
"Oh, okay." Lu Ming pursed his lips, then sat down at the dining table, found the round bell built into the table that he had mentioned before, and pressed it gently.
"bite."
A bell rang, then a red light flashed, and then there was silence.
Lu Ming looked around curiously, then asked Lan on the sofa, "What then? No menu or anything?"
Before Lan could answer, she heard another "ding-ling-ling" sound.
She turned her head and saw that the tabletop opened to both sides, flipped over and folded down, and a square dinner plate slowly rose up. At the same time, when the bottom platform reached the height of the original tabletop, it slowly expanded into a new tabletop.
However, Lu Ming didn't have time to look at the table. She stared at the food on the plate with disdain and turned to Lan, "What are these? Is this really food?"
Lan came over, stood beside the dining table, and introduced her like a waiter.
He first pointed to a lump of white, batter-like, thick substance and said, "This is the staple food. The raw materials are chicken and carbohydrate powder, mixed with vitamin liquid."
Then he pointed to the straw-like things next to him and said, "This is a dietary fiber energy bar. It can well supplement the fiber needed by the human body."
Next came a small bowl of yellow, egg-like lumps. "And this is artificial protein. The molecular particles are extremely small and very easy to absorb."
Finally, there was a cup of red, soft, blood-like substance, and he said, "This is a dessert, specially prepared to cater to your human dining habits. The ingredients are—"
"Oh, alright, alright."
Lu Ming interrupted him quickly, fearing that after he finished introducing it, she would be forced to eat it under the pretext of supplementing nutrition.
She looked at the very unappetizing meal in front of her with an embarrassed look, hesitated for a long time, and then picked up the fork next to her and reached for the bowl of "eggs", which seemed to be the only thing edible.
She took a cautious sip and it didn't taste good at first. However, just as she was about to open her mouth, a fishy smell burst out of her mouth, almost making her vomit.
She covered her mouth and waved her hands at Lan, "Oh my God, what kind of devilish food is this! Why is it so fishy?"
Lan blinked. "This is made by simulating the seafood in human meal recipes, so..."
Lu Ming rolled his eyes: "I think Xing's intelligence level really needs to be improved."
Before Lan could ask any questions, she continued, "I'm not going to have to eat this every day, am I? Are there any ingredients? I can make it myself."
Lan nodded. "Although no previous captain has ever made such a request, you do have fresh ingredients at your disposal. Follow me."
Thank goodness! Being a captain has this benefit, it's worth it.
Lu Ming quickly stood up and followed him out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, her pajamas automatically turned back into a uniform.
The two came to another large room on the captain's lounge floor. It was very empty and there was nothing in it.
Lu Ming was wondering when Lan snapped his fingers and a transparent screen dropped down from the left side of the door. He tapped on it a few times, and suddenly many workbenches appeared from the walls and floor on both sides of the empty room. Then, a complete set of pots, pans, stoves and other utensils appeared from the workbenches, which made Lu Ming amazed.
Lan pointed to the large four-door refrigerator and said, "Whatever ingredients you need, you can select them on the screen, click OK, and wait ten seconds before you can get them. But please pay attention to the portions. If you waste them this time, the ingredients you get next time will be half as much."
"Is that so..." Lu Ming supported his chin and thought for a while. Just as he was about to choose the ingredients, he suddenly thought of a question.
So she asked, "Has he eaten yet?"
On the other side, Carl was feeling very uncomfortable because of the previous jump, and he was also worried, so it took a long time before he felt a little hungry.
Although he was not happy about it, he would not go against his body, so he observed for a while and finally found the bell that the boy had just mentioned on a table.
However, after pressing the button, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and there was no movement.
Carl thought, don’t prisoners deserve to eat?
But soon, he heard a knock on the door.
He walked over and looked out the window.
The corridor was empty, with nothing in it except a dining cart.
Carl raised his eyebrows and opened the door. The dining cart outside the door drove in automatically. Only then did he see clearly that the dining cart was actually a household robot.
The small robot slid to the dining table on its four wheels, then extended two mechanical arms from its sides and placed a square tray covered with a silver cover on the table. Simultaneously, a message appeared on a long screen on the side: "If you have any special cravings, please write here. Enjoy your meal." This was followed by a smiley face.
Carl thought this robot food truck was actually quite interesting. Although he didn't order anything, he patted its "head" gently and said softly, "Got it. Go ahead."
The small food cart gurgled out again, and did not forget to close the door after leaving.
The corners of Karl's lips curled up slightly, and he watched it go out. Then he sat down at the dining table and took off the silver cover.
When he saw what was in front of him, his expression changed slightly.
On the tray, there was a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge, three side dishes, and a small plate of sweet and sour ginger slices.
It has good color, aroma and taste.
