A name is the origin of emotion.

Things with names will no longer be mere consumables.

Every time we call out, the habit accumulated over time will make that name occupy a place in people's hearts unconsciously.

Xu is unable to read the mind of a machine.

He didn't know.

What kind of feelings do you have when naming your own robot servant?

But Xu Xi guessed that Ai Lei must like doing this.

Since being named, Ailei has become more human, showing more smiling expressions in the peaceful alternation of sun and moon.

Slightly worn screen.

The image is a patchwork of small squares of pixels.

Using an unattractive posture, a smile with a distinct arc is created.

The feeling is very subtle, like the fingertips waiting in winter, with a ray of warm sunlight shining through, and feeling the warmth from the empty cold.

Even though Elle didn't have a beating heart.

Cannot hug like a human.

But through that screen, Xu Xi vaguely saw that there was a new soul inside smiling at him, a pure smile.

"Elei, remove the restrictions on the weapon system."

"Yes, the weapon system has been fully released, the energy circuits are supplying power normally, and the external images have been synchronized."

"Elly, report the remaining energy."

"Yes, the current power reserve is 100%."

A few days later, the power armor that Xu Xi had been dreaming of was finally debugged and charged to 100%.

The body is shiny and the gears are meshing.

Lever push and pull, precision staggered.

The gray machine has broad shoulders, is heavy and solid, and is made of multiple composite materials to provide it with amazing protection. It is also equipped with a variety of offensive weapons, which are stored on the sides and rear of the machine by a metal frame.

Xu Xi looked at the full view of the power armor and nodded slightly.

The so-called power armor is not complicated to understand.

Faster speed.

Greater power.

A harder body.

And more firepower.

The concept of all designs is to enhance the combat capability of individual soldiers.

Xu Xi didn't think that he could fight against the wave of intelligent machines with just a power armor, but at least it could greatly enhance his existing combat power.

"Ellie, get dressed."

"Yes, Master."

As Xu Xi issued instructions.

The loyal servitor began to operate the mechanical arm, gradually opening the power armor, and putting on the armor from the limbs.

Torque dances and parts fit together.

Each carrier is perfectly possessed.

[Weapon module loaded, main weapon fully charged, secondary weapon fully charged]

[Anti-gravity module has been loaded, back jet reserve 50%]

[The visual module has been loaded and the visual map has been generated]

[Radar module has been loaded, automatic detection has been turned on]

The cold mechanical sound rang in Xu Xi's ears.

That was Ellie's voice.

It did not come from an external laboratory core, but appeared inside the power armor.

This was Xu Xi's idea. He asked Ailei to enter the power armor and be responsible for auxiliary matters and coordinate all aspects of the battle.

Power armor has too many features.

Since it is controlled by one person, there will inevitably be delays and mistakes.

The addition of intelligent AI can help Xu Xi handle every battle as perfectly as possible.

"Master, the dressing is complete, the laboratory door is open, and you can leave at any time."

"Well, let's go."

Xu Xi took a step forward, and the heavy alloy armor followed his movement, landing thickly on the floor step by step, shaking the dust.

Feeling too noisy.

Xu Xi slowed down his pace slightly.

This time, the sound made by the armor was significantly smaller.

Speed ​​up the pace.

Mechanical force surges.

Xu Xi walked out of the underground space and came to the dangerous surface again.

There was still endless sandstorms and desolate and dilapidated ruins. Everything on the surface was no different from when Xu Xi first saw it.

"call--"

"call--"

The wind howled fiercely, sweeping up dust and sand that hit the armor.

In the past, the sandstorms always hurt his cheeks, but this time, after Xu Xi put on the power armor, he no longer felt that way.

"Power armor is great."

Xu Xi admired it in his heart.

【bite--】

[Your praise makes the power armor very useful, and it becomes closer to you]

[You unexpectedly discovered that the values ​​of your power armor have increased by 1% across the board. Whether it is strength or speed, your power armor has become more powerful.]

[In between, you understand a little bit about the structure of the power armor]

…

Xu's group began to move forward.

Wearing power armor, he completely ignored the harsh environment of the city ruins, and crushed the sharp doomsday garbage with his steps.

Xu Xi had planned this trip in advance.

Searching for new energy sources.

Find new technology.

These are his two main goals for today.

Power armor is good in every way, except that its energy consumption is too high, far beyond the capacity of the solar energy in the laboratory base.

Therefore, finding new energy sources is urgent.

As for new technology, it can provide more knowledge to the Xu system and is also an indispensable and important thing.

"Elly, what do you think of seeing the outside world for the first time?"

In the process of walking.

Xu Xi was talking to his own servant.

"It feels very strange...", the electronically synthesized voice was calm and confused. At the same time, a small expression of confusion appeared in Xu Xi's helmet vision.

"According to the federal database, the latest edition of the 6th Satellite City Report, 6th Satellite City should have a large area of ​​greenery, but I don't see any."

The robot servants are aware of the existence of the Omnic Crisis.

But it has never actually been seen.

Our previous understanding of the world only existed from information and data in the laboratory and oral explanations from many people.

Today's trip is the first time for Ailei.

Xu Xi smiled and said, "There is always a difference between data and reality. Ailei, you need to learn to observe the world for yourself."

"I will, Master."

The micro-expressions made up of pixels show a serious look.

In the wind and sand.

Xu's system controlled the powered armor and went further and further.

Occasionally, the careless servitor would ask him questions that were not in the database.

"Master, do you feel lonely?"

"Why do you say that?"

"As mentioned in the Federal Biology, humans are social creatures. We cannot live without a group. All values ​​come from the group."

"Haha, I'm fine. I'm not dissatisfied with my current life."

"So the master won't be lonely being alone?"

"Well... I really won't. After all, you are here."

In a cycle of question and answer.

Xu Xi manipulated the power armor and successfully passed through several ruins and arrived at the park on the other side.

This is the same laboratory where Xu Xi lived.

Responsible for the research and development of federal technology.

There are many high-tech companies here.

"Special Olympics Security, Mercury Technology, Saiqing Energy..." Xu Xi's eyes scanned the area and finally stopped at the building of the energy company.
