"Master, what are you doing?"

"Wipe down the base's camera, so you can see the stars more clearly."

"Master, have you forgotten that I now have my own body and can go outside and look around on my own."

"This... I'm sorry, it's become a habit for me and I can't change it immediately."

[Simulation Year 4, Winter]

[It has been several months since you made the machine for Elly. Now, a cold but beautiful figure has appeared in the laboratory where you used to be the only one.]

[She is silent, always one step ahead of you, preparing your daily needs]

[She is flawless, and her mechanical mind can handle everything perfectly. She is your right-hand man in the experiment.]

[She is easy to please. Just stay with you for a while and she will smile happily.]

You are pleased with this.

[Thinking that his robot servants are no different from ordinary people]

[But Ailei's strange silver-blue eyes, like a deep blue lake, with deep waves and ripples, can still reveal the non-human identity at first glance]

[Occasionally, you would wipe the camera at the entrance and exit for Elle out of habit]

[When the robot girl reminded you, you realized belatedly that now, Ailei no longer needed your special wiping.]

[Whether it is controlling other machines or controlling her own humanoid body, Elle can do it easily]

[That day]

[Your hands, which were wiping the camera, were stained with a little dust, and became slightly black and slightly dirty]

[The robot girl takes a clean wet cloth and carefully and seriously wipes off every bit of dirt on your hands. She looks very serious, just like you wiped the camera for her.]

【Goodwill is mutual, giving is two-way】

[Your warm heart can be clearly felt even by a machine]

[Therefore, the loyal servitor likes you even more]

Bright, dazzling, and glaring.

Even in a desolate wasteland world.

When winter comes, the cold winds will also bring snow, which will fall from the sky onto the Sixth Satellite City.

Perhaps it was fate or coincidence, but a handful of snowflakes passed through the cracks in the building, delicately weaving through the steel and concrete, and finally fell to the door of the underground laboratory.

Xu Xi stood here, receiving the attentive service from Ai Lei.

Until Elle wiped his palms clean.

"Thanks, Ellie."

Looking at the long golden hair so close.

Xu Xi stretched out his hand and rubbed it gently, and felt that it felt very smooth.

Different from human hair, Airei's long hair is made of special materials. It feels magical to the touch and is an indescribable pleasure.

"This is what I should do. I am always at your service."

Ai Lei took back the warm wet cloth and lowered her head slightly. Xu Xi couldn't see her expression and eyes clearly.

I just felt the machine under my hand tremble a little.

…

[Simulation Year 5, You Are 24 Years Old]

[The spring breeze blows, the winter snow melts, and in the deserted city filled with wind and sand, new buds sprout in some corners, indicating the revival of spring]

[You are going further and further on the road of becoming a mechanic]

[Long-term machine soul pleasure and mechanical resonance make your knowledge extremely terrifying]

[Am I awesome like this? ]

You don't think

[You know very well how big the universe is and how small you are. The knowledge you have is nothing at all.]

[You look back at the past developments and everything in the laboratory, and know that you must change something]

Always.

The goals of the Xu family are very clear.

That is to accumulate enough knowledge, have a deep understanding of the technological system, and want to analyze the incredible beautiful life simulator from a technological perspective.

He had no intention of making an enemy of anyone and just wanted to study quietly.

But this doesn't work.

Outside, the bright spring light is pouring down, and those dead and silent ruins that symbolize the end of the world seem to be reborn with an extra layer of light.

Wandering omnics trampled the new weeds.

Either they attack each other or they move aimlessly.

All the information is transmitted to the screen in the laboratory by the newly manufactured monitoring equipment.

"As expected, we still have to move towards the outside world," Xu Xi said to himself, writing down the characteristics of various intelligent machines with a pen in hand. Below him was a very thick notebook.

The data is in duplicate.

One is recorded manually by Xu Xi, and the other is recorded electronically by the robot.

"Over the past few years, I have mastered all the relevant technologies in the laboratory."

"The value of the federal computer is high. I am still in the breakthrough stage, but it is only a matter of time before I can fully understand it. I urgently need new research materials."

"Although we can develop technology on our own, but—"

"That's too slow, and it conflicts with my entry. The effect of mechanical resonance means that I need to fight against those omnics."

"Only by dealing with those rebellious omnics can I explore the world and study their technology."

Xu Xi put down his pen and gently closed the heavy notebook.

Lights shone from overhead.

It brushed past the ends of his hair, passed over his cheek, and landed right on the cover of the book at just the right angle.

"From the perspective of civilization and technology, the activities on the planet are just the beginning."

"Exploring the universe is the true starting point of science and technology."

"Therefore, intelligent machines related to starship technology will be my key target in the future."

Xu Xi pondered.

Set the sea of ​​stars as your future action goal.

Of course, it is too early to talk about this now.

If you want to set out on the sea of ​​stars, you must integrate the resources of the planet, that is, defeat the intelligent machines and seize the Federation heritage.

But before that.

The Xu system needs to move forward step by step to avoid being overwhelmed by the endless tide of intelligent machines.

"Let's start with the Sixth Satellite City. If we can't even conquer this city, let alone leave the planet," Xu Xi said in deep thought with his eyes slightly closed, holding the thick intelligent machine record atlas in his hand.

Just at this moment, Ai Lei brought a glass of warm water.

A new sprout that sprouts in spring is added to the water.

The water color is light brown.

It smells nice.

"Master, please have some water," the robot girl bent down and handed over water. Her golden hair was tied into a bun with a pure white ribbon. She was wearing a fitted light red dress. Her smiling expression revealed the calmness of an intelligent robot.

"The K-type automatic turret you requested has already started production."

"We expect to complete the defense of the base in ten days."

"The modification of power armor is also in progress."

"..."

The cup of water emitted a hazy white vapor and was placed flat in front of Xu Xi.

After finishing this, Ai Lei introduced the work status in an orderly manner, with clear pronunciation and a steady tone, without the previous stiff electronic tone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elle."

Xu Xi listened quietly to Ai Lei's report.

Finally.

Don't forget to add: "You look great today."

【bite--】

[Machine Soul Happy, Machine Soul Great Happy, Machine Soul Extra Great Happy]

Xu Xi picked up the cup and drank the warm water that Ai Lei had prepared for him. The thoughts in his mind remained the same as before.

My own robot servant is really easy to understand.
