"Master, what is the difference between humans and machines?"

"...Hmm, I can't say for sure."

"Is it a body of flesh and blood?"

"Compared to that, I think the heart is more important."

desolate ruins.

Dead silence.

Xu Xi was wearing power armor, using mechanical force to amplify his strength, and forcibly carried a large piece of computer components and walked. Every time he took a step, he would always leave deep footprints.

Regarding the final processing results of the federal computer, Xu chose to dismantle it in batches and carry it back to the underground base one by one.

This process is boring and monotonous.

The size of the federal computer is huge, and it will take a long time to transport all of it.

But compared to the temporary hard work.

Xu Xi was even more reluctant to leave it in the ruins of a building.

"Huh~~~", a cool breeze blew gently on Xu Xi's face through the gaps in the armor, reducing the fatigue brought by the hot weather.

A robot servant AI that knows no fatigue and no pain.

Know that humans are different from it.

Therefore, Ailei continuously adjusted the power armor so that Xu Xi could use this federal killer in the most comfortable state.

"Master, is the coolness appropriate?"

"That's very helpful, Elly."

Xu Xi praised with a smile. Inside the armored helmet, his hair was messy and wet, slightly soaked with sweat.

Thanks to the attentive service of his own robot servant, he did not feel too tired.

On both sides of the road, the shattered wreckage of vehicles swayed in the wind. In this never-ending doomsday scene, there were occasional green spots, stubbornly rooted on the bricks.

The weather is hot.

The heat wave distorted the scenery before my eyes.

Inexplicably, walking on these old remnants of human civilization, Xu Xi felt a chill unique to steel.

In contrast, the inside of the power armor is slightly heated.

"Master, please drink some water."

"Well, okay... Elly, I have something to ask you."

"Please go ahead."

"When did you put this glass of water into the armor?"

"Because I'm worried that you might get thirsty on the road, I modified the armor's parameters in advance so that it has a small water storage space. Doesn't the master like it?"

"Uh... No, you did a great job."

Xu opened his mouth and slowly drank cool pure water through a catheter.

The clear water flows into the throat, clearing the brain and making the whole body feel comfortable and relaxed.

"Is Elle's talent in the wrong place?"

While drinking water.

Xu Xi thought so in his heart.

As an intelligent AI, Ailei's scientific research talent is undoubtedly top-notch, but now it is used to transform the drinking function.

Could it be that this is an old habit inherited from the housekeeping robots?

It's a bit of a waste of talent, but maybe I don't dislike this kind of Elle. This is the color unique to Elle, a distinctive feature of a new life.

"Aile, you know, in my hometown, intelligent AIs like you are very popular, and people will fight for you."

"Will Elle be popular?"

"Yes, I will."

"What about the master?"

"I like this kind of Elle, too."

Xu Xi answered truthfully. Who can refuse an obedient, well-behaved and capable AI?

"Squeak...squeak..." On the screen of the power helmet, the micro-expressions symbolizing Ellie suddenly flashed like snowflakes.

After a moment, the micro-expression returned to normal.

"Ellie likes the master very much, too."

Intelligent auxiliary robot AI, said Ai Lei.

…

The land of the Sixth Satellite City was filled with roaming intelligent machines. In order to avoid unnecessary fighting, Xu Xi quietly increased the engine output and returned to the laboratory before dark.

The underground space was dark and dim.

But the Xu family is already familiar with this.

After removing the obstacles and turning the complicated corners, Xu Xi strode into the underground laboratory and placed the federal computer components he had carried on the ground.

This is just one of many parts.

In the future, Xu will need to continue transporting until all the federal computers are completely emptied.

"Master, I will prepare dinner and hot water for you."

"Okay, go ahead."

The cold electronic synthesized sound left the power armor and returned to the core of the main body, taking over the entire operating system of the laboratory.

Lights came on and machines hummed.

The high-speed rotating gears made a slight hissing sound, and much of the power armor was removed along with it.

"It's an amazing achievement of technology."

Inside the laboratory, the power armor began to charge. Xu Xi walked over to the computer components that had been moved in and touched their surface with his palm, making a hissing sound.

Perhaps the system has never seen the heyday of the Human Federation.

But as the saying goes, a glimpse of the corner reveals the whole picture.

Through the intelligent machines I have seen so far and the incredible supercomputers in front of me, I can somewhat imagine how powerful the Federation is.

"Even a federation like this has to face destruction."

"My chances of winning are low..."

Xu Xi seemed to be thinking about something. Fortunately, he didn't have to fight to the death with the intelligent machines. With the help of the machine soul Joy, he could hide perfectly and avoid being overwhelmed by the intelligent machine disaster.

shake head.

Don't think about it anymore.

Xu Xi focused his attention on the computer in front of him.

Think about your next steps for the future.

His eyes scanned across the crystal clear lines, which were colorless and shapeless, like real and condensed belts of light.

It has a tough texture. Despite being a computer, it has thicker frontal armor than a power armor.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

And most importantly, the core computing components that are buried layer by layer.

"The most urgent thing is to activate the energy base of the Federation computer. Although I don't know how much energy is left, I think it will be enough for my base."

"If that doesn't work, I'll just have to go out and hunt omnics and make do with their meager energy cores."

Xu Xi whispered to himself.

Walk along the computer's components, taking a close look at its inside and outside.

"I don't understand. The value of this computer is far superior to the federal technology I've come across before."

"Fortunately, I have mechanical resonance, so I can slowly understand it."

"and--"

"With Ailei as a child, we don't have to worry about wasting computer performance. We can even make it a step further and make the base even stronger."

Maybe there is a pause.

He looked towards the walls of the base on both sides, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

He is a joker.

But being able to cheat does not mean being omnipotent.

Xu Xi could communicate with the soul of the machine and learn its structure and principles, but he could not create a mature production system out of nothing.

Over the past few years, we have only been building qualified shelters and researching the technology of the intelligent machines at hand.

It took up a lot of time.

But now it's different. With the Federation computer and Ellie, Xu Xi can try to go a step further and create a real sci-fi base.

"Master, dinner is ready."

Synthesized mechanical sounds rang in my ears.

Xu Xi responded subconsciously with an "OK".

Then he put down his research and walked towards the place where he usually had his meals.

"Ellie."

Xu Xi looked hesitant.

"What's wrong, Master? I am always at your service."

"Are you sure these are for me?"

Ai Lei seemed to be particularly happy today, so much so that she brought a large plate full of instant cubes, which made Xu Xi look at her in silence.

The attributes of domestic robots are still being developed.
