Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 101

(minor repair)

I hope all the stars can lead the way for him.

Nan'an couldn't remember how to return to the rose base afterwards.

In my impression, the sound of propellers came back to my ears, there were researchers in white coats, and a large number of medical personnel—but his eyes only fell on Lin Ze.

As for what's going on around him, Nan'an didn't care at all. He was drenched all over, so he grabbed Lin Ze's hand, refusing to let go.

Until Julia came over.

She walked hurriedly, glanced at the instrument and said, "How is the situation now?"

"The preliminary judgment is a penetrating injury outside the eye."

"I'll do it." She said, but the white gloves handed over by the assistant, "Prepare the % dicaine solution, and check the eyelid hook."

Nan'an stood aside, looking helplessly at the busy medical staff around him.

He was afraid of hindering Julia and the others, but he didn't want to let go, so he bit his lips anxiously.At this moment, he suddenly felt Lin Ze's hand move.

Nan'an rushed over immediately.

The opponent's fingertips gently grasped him.

Although Lin Ze didn't speak and the situation didn't allow Lin Ze to open his eyes, Nan'an felt that he knew.

"Lin Ze..." Nan An couldn't say a word, so he could only hold the other's fingertips tighter and clasp his fingers together.

At this moment, Julia put her hand on Nan An and said comfortingly, "Leave it to me."

Nan'an cried uncontrollably, big tears fell down.

After letting go of Lin Ze's hand, his eyes kept falling in that direction, and more emergency personnel came at this time, so Nan'an took a few steps back and was led by Ellie to the corridor.

"Are you hurt?" Ellie asked.

Nan'an shook his head: "I just wiped my arm." Ai Li took out the red medicine, dipped it with a cotton swab, and carefully applied the medicine for him.

At the end, when the bandage was wrapped, I heard Nan'an say, "Actually, it doesn't need to be."

He spoke as if talking to himself, and said softly: "I can transform into the form of a robot, so that I won't get hurt..." After a pause for a few seconds, he lowered his head again: "If, if Lin Ze does the same alright……"

Nan'an kept his head down without continuing.

After a few seconds, Ellie held his hand: "Don't worry."

She put away the medicine and said, "Julia is one of Rose's top ophthalmologists, and she will definitely take care of it."

"but……"

Nan'an didn't say anything, the scene in the flat building was all before him.

And just remembering for a few more seconds, he will think of those silver eyes that are as warm as stars.

So Nanan wanted to cry again.

But this time, he seems to cheer up, not as vulnerable as he appears - if that human sees him crying like this, he will be sad too.

As he thought, he reached out and wiped away his tears.

By the time the last few medical staff had left, it had been a whole night.

And Nan'an stayed in the corridor all the time.

He was covered with a small blanket given by the nurse, and his eyelashes drooped slightly. He just stayed there quietly. Although he held a thermos in his hand, he didn't take a sip.

Only Julia, Ellie, and a few base members were left in the entire ward.

Lin Ze's injury has been treated, but he did not wake up because of anesthesia.When the nurse outside the door left, Nan An got up, quietly scratched the door frame, and listened to the movement inside.

"It seems that the situation is rather difficult." A member of the base said, "A few days later, Yinling will not be able to hold back."

"Is there no other way?"

The base member shook his head: "Only Dr. Lin can crack it now, and it will take about a week for other members."

Ellie: "Isn't it okay to crack it together? I can help."

"That's not the problem." The base member said, "Dr. Lin processed a lot of data when recovering the silver bell, including the ability of the researchers. One week is already the fastest."

They said no more.

At the moment when the base personnel were about to leave, Ellie caught a glimpse of Nan'an from the corner of her eye.

Seeing everyone's eyes falling, Nan'an slowly walked out from behind the door. In addition to a thermos cup, he also had a plastic bag in his hand - which contained omelet rice and vegetable salad with oil and vinegar sauce.

"Why don't you rest?" Allie said, "I thought you were asleep."

Nan An whispered: "Not sleepy."

He said, put the omurice and vegetable salad in the small refrigerator aside, then turned to look at them, lowered his head and took an apple, and peeled the apple very carefully.

The atmosphere in the ward seemed stagnant.

After a few seconds, the staff at the base sighed, and said, "I'll deploy the corresponding researchers first, and carry out the cracking task first. We will do our best, but don't get hopeful."

After the voice fell, the footsteps gradually faded away.

"Lin Ze..." Nan'an mustered up the courage to speak at this moment, "How is he?"

"It's out of danger."

While checking the drip speed, Julia took out the electronic board to record: "But there is a situation where you have to be prepared first."

Nan'an's breathing became short of breath: "What?"

Julia sighed.

"The trauma to the right eye is serious, and with the fragments in the wound, it can no longer be saved." She tapped the screen, and the other party's physical data popped up, "So it was removed."

Nan'an opened his eyes wide.

The apple in his hand fell to the ground without holding it.

He never imagined such a situation.

In the concept of small robots, human injuries are completely incomprehensible to them, but now, he suddenly understands a little bit.

Humans are not injured the same way as robots are.

It cannot be said that if it is broken, it will be replaced with a new, exactly the same part. In many cases, it is irreversible at all, just like those humans with prosthetic limbs.

Thinking of this, Nan An's eyes turned red again.

"Then what do we do now?" His tone was anxious and helpless.

Nan'an couldn't imagine the consequences of Lin Ze's loss of one right eye—losing one side of his sight would affect his vision, which would affect his shooting accuracy and research.

He silently picked up the fallen apple.

The moment he pulled up the small round stool and was about to sit down, he heard two beeps.

Julia picked up the communicator.

As usual, Julia briefly reported the situation, but at the end of the call, she suddenly mentioned an ophthalmology research project.

Regarding this, Nan'an had heard from Lin Ze before.

In terms of mechanical eyes, human beings are making breakthroughs - from a single imitation of the cornea, to a multi-level combination, and then to the simulation of the entire eyeball.

Brief memories can't bring up anything, but at this moment, Nan'an does.Subconsciously looking at Julia, seeing the other party hang up the phone, she also looked this way.

They stared at each other for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Nan An saw Julia smiled slightly.

"The base contacted me just now, saying that the ophthalmology research done a few months ago has been approved and can be used clinically." Julia paused, "And this research is——mechanical eyeballs."

Nan'an was by Lin Ze's side.

Time was pressing, and Julia contacted the base as soon as possible to prepare for the transplant of mechanical eyes.And Ai Li went to the apartment once, which was commissioned by Nan'an. When she went back to get the materials, she helped him take something out of the room.

At this time, it was still raining outside the window, and the roar of the plane occasionally sounded in the distance, falling on Nan'an's ears.

Even so, Nan An still took a nap for a while. He obediently lay beside Lin Ze, holding his fingertips.

But just fell asleep for a few minutes, he seemed to be dreaming of something, suddenly woke up, and opened his eyes.

After going back and forth like this a few times, I lost all sleepiness.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Ze, the light outside the window outlined his outline, and his breathing was peaceful - it seemed that he was just caught in a dream.

Nan An just stared at it for a while.

After a while, he took out the chip from his pocket, and after tapping it, the simulation image of the mechanical eyeball was directly displayed.

It was given to him by Julia before she left, and she said she wanted to keep it for him and return it to her when she came back.

Nan'an reached out and tentatively touched it.

——This is the color of full silver, cold, with a mechanical beauty. Compared with the color of Lin Ze's pupils, it is a little lighter, like stars covered in ice fog.

Other than that, it is not much different from human eyes.

When he was looking at the silver eyes of the machine, Ellie's movement suddenly came from behind him.

"I'm back." She walked into the ward and put her backpack on the chair behind Nan'an, "Are you okay?"

"Ah."

"Julia said that there is still half an hour, and the transplantation will start immediately." Allie said as she took out a round lamp from her bag and gave it to him. "This is the star lamp you want."

Nan'an took the lamp and smiled lightly: "Thank you, Sister Ai Li."

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on Lin Ze again, and he didn't speak again.

The long eyelashes covered the expression in his eyes, but it seemed that Nan'an was thinking, or secretly making some decision.

With the sound of rain, the room became even more silent.

Ai Li reported the data of the testing equipment, and then sat down beside Nan An.

When the communicator sounded, she relaxed a little and pinched the bridge of her nose.But when she looked at Nan'an, she found that he was still holding the star lamp.

Ellie was a little puzzled suddenly: "What is the function of this lamp?"

"I want lighting." Nan'an replied in a low voice.

"There are so many lights here." Ellie said softly, "Including the searchlights for inspection, the brightness is sufficient, and there is no need for it."

Hearing what Ai Li said, Nan An suddenly smiled.

He looked sideways at Lin Ze who was lying on the bed, and after a while, he said slowly, "I just hope... the moment he wakes up and opens his eyes, all the stars can guide him."
