The addition of federal computers gave the laboratory base a new lease of life.

Energy.

The base is no longer restricted, the power armor can be deployed all day long, the lighting system can be turned on continuously, and the Xu system no longer needs to worry about any energy-related problems.

Equipment.

The Federal computer comes with many modules.

Although most of it is destroyed, the remaining parts, combined with Elle, can produce effects beyond imagination.

Xu Xi was certain that, with just a little time, he would be able to fully upgrade the underground laboratory and then have the power to take root in this doomsday wasteland.

Instead of being forced to shrink into the underground space like now.

Even finding materials and supplies is extremely troublesome.

"I still have a long way to go..." Lying on his back in the chair, Xu Xi rubbed his swollen temples.

Thanks to the two golden entries, he didn't need to practice self-cultivation diligently for this simulation, but that didn't mean he could slack off.

Whether it's intelligence gathering on rebellious omnics.

It’s still about the next development of the base.

Or perhaps it is a derivative development of firepower weapons.

All these things require careful consideration and a comprehensive approach to future actions.

"Ellie, is my lunch ready?"

"All is ready for you, Master."

Click.

A plate of freshly produced, slightly hot, brown instant cubes.

They are densely packed together, stacked like a pyramid.

"Ellie."

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Actually, my appetite isn't that big, so I don't need to prepare so much next time."

"Yes, Master."

The robot AI responded obediently.

…

[The flower of hope that blooms towards the sun is more gorgeous than any other sight]

[After several years of simulation, you finally see the light of dawn. You are absolutely sure that with the help of Elly and the federal computer, the future will definitely be better.]

[You focus on upgrading the power armor]

【bite--】

[Your diligent study moved the Armor Soul so much that it shared with you the optimization possibilities of the power armor.]

[Truth and knowledge open the door to you, and you suddenly feel enlightenment coming to you.]

[You begin researching automatic turrets]

[You start researching the Gauss sniper rifle]

[You began to study more intelligent machines. Mechagods are above you. You gradually understood the beauty of machines.]

[The development of the laboratory is booming]

…

[The superior performance of the Federal computer and the amazing computing power of Airei have greatly accelerated your research speed, and you are becoming more and more immersed in scientific exploration]

[With sufficient energy, Airei no longer needs to save energy, and can express its emotions to you with the simplest micro-expressions]

[Now, it often appears in various forms and looks much more vivid]

[Ailei listens to you very much]

【Complete your orders 100% every day】

[When it has nothing to do, it will quietly watch your actions, or stare at a pile of messy mechanical wreckage]

[One day, you completed the research on a new type of turret and noticed that your robot servant was distracted and there was a pile of wreckage that was nothing special.]

Maybe he recognized the pile of debris.

This is a matter of course.

After all, he had dismantled the pile of debris himself and piled it in the corner of the laboratory.

I thought maybe one day, I could recycle waste.

The items inside are very diverse, including the limbs of domestic robots, the damaged bodies of humanoid rebellious robots, and old machines collected from the ruins.

"Ailei, what are you thinking about?" Xu Xi asked.

"Master, I want to..." The robot servant always answered Xu Xi's questions, "I want to make a mobile body."

The calm electronic synthesized sound reveals a faint expectation.

At the same time.

A corresponding expression of hope appeared on the projection screen of the large computer, and the dim light illuminated Xu Xi's slightly stunned face.

The truth behind the servitor's continued accusations is actually incredibly simple.

It wants real touch, it wants real walking, not just in virtual data.

Xu Xi laughed: "Then why not do it?"

"no……"

The hopeful expression turned into a stiff shake of the head: "This is forbidden. Without the master's consent, Ailei cannot do this..."

Loyal servitors are always extremely subtle in their judgment of autonomous logic.

It often takes it upon itself to produce more instant cubes for Xu's system, or to create cells on the power armor to hold pure water.

But now.

Ai Lei was inexplicably stuck again.

I have been struggling for a long time with the idea of ​​making my own body.

"It's okay, Ailei," Xu Xi said.

It was a very gentle voice, smiling and encouraging the servitor.

"For some things, you don't have to care about my opinion. Just do it if you want to. I will support you."

Ai Lei seemed to understand what Xu Xi said, and her voice became slightly more joyful: "Do you mean to allow me to make a mecha?"

"Yes, I allow it."

"Thank you for your permission, Elle is very happy."

"Haha, I'm glad you're happy. Do you need my help?"

"Don't bother you with such a small matter. Please leave it to me."

In the quiet underground laboratory, the lights were turned on and many robotic arms began to work busily.

Or holding a repair tool.

Or grab the mechanical wreckage.

Under the command of the super AI, Ailei, a usable humanoid body was assembled in an orderly manner.

Xu Xi was watching from the sidelines, curious about what his own robot servant would look like.

"Although the simulator is no longer a little girl's upbringing simulation, the direction it's taking seems to be getting weirder..."

"This time it was actually trained by intelligent AI."

Xu Xi was filled with emotion as he watched the mechanical parts flying around.

After a moment.

Assembly work is completed.

"Click-click--", accompanied by the sound of the mechanical arm detaching, a half-dilapidated humanoid body appeared in front of Xu Xi.

Based on the human female body.

Has slender limbs.

This is an illusion. Beneath its petite appearance, it is still a robot soldier that can easily bend steel bars.

The machine created by Ellie looks perfect overall, but the materials used are too damaged. The steel core is exposed in many places, and the wires are crackling.

A truly qualified humanoid robot will have realistic-looking simulated skin.

The laboratory is short of this material.

"Master, I succeeded," Ailei entered the body, controlled the body's voice module, opened her lips synchronously, and said to Xu Xi with a smiling expression.

She doesn't care much about the appearance of defects.

My whole body and mind are filled with curiosity.

"Ailei, do you want to try walking?" With Xu Xi's encouragement, Ailei controlled her body and took a few tentative steps forward.

It's well controlled, but the body reacts badly.

Very sudden.

The body is broken at the knee joint.

The entire machine fell and hit the hard ground heavily.
