Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 50

What is the logic of this scientist?

The moment the gate of the base closed, it seemed that the whole world was cut off.

Nan'an seemed to hear the movement outside the door, the sound of scratching the outer wall of the base, but in an instant, it seemed that there was nothing.

He held the rose quietly, just like every time before.

Lin Ze didn't take the communicator at this time, probably because of the solar storm, he straightened up and gave Nan'an something that looked like a chip: "The temporary card of the base research institute."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the elevator.

Along the way, there were blood-stained police officers and flustered researchers.

Nan'an felt that these people were too different from Lin Ze. The person around him seemed to have never changed emotionally.

After entering the elevator, Nan'an asked, "What do I need to do next?"

Lin Ze: "First count the population of the four cities."

Nan'an responded.

He looked at the rapidly descending elevator, not knowing how to speak.

There are too many things, or too many emotions, and it is like being stuffy in the chest and unable to vent.

As a little robot, Nan'an felt confused - from this point of view, he was getting closer and closer to a human being.

In the end, they walked all the way to the [-]th floor in silence.

As soon as the elevator door was opened, the researchers who came over to meet were stunned when they saw Nan'an and Lin Ze. After a few seconds, they retracted their expressions, and then took out the tablet and the chip of the suspended projection, and began to report the situation.

Lin Ze walked while listening to the report.

Nan An followed behind them, looking left and right, trying to find Biddle and Jill again.

They were now in the middle of the dungeon, on a covered bridge about ten meters wide.Looking up, there are criss-crossing tracks, large suspended trains, and white light circles. They start from the dome and circle the city every 30 meters or so, serving as the main lighting for the underground.Downwards are also covered bridges, which stagger left and right and move every 10 minutes or so, which is conducive to the diversion of residents.

Without heavy rain and fog, Nan'an obviously felt that the air was much drier, and everywhere he could see were cold silver buildings and rows of robots.

"Dr. Lin, after a preliminary judgment, the underground city has now evacuated more than 300 million people." The researcher said, "The specific population statistics have already begun."

Lin Ze: "Where are the injured residents?"

Researcher: "About tens of thousands."

"This is the last evacuation personnel." He said, "According to the division, the residents who are not injured and have not been implanted with chips are given priority, followed by those implanted with chips and mechanical arms, and finally the injured."

Nan An blinked his eyes, but he didn't hear the person implanted with a high-risk chip.

From this point of view, those who voluntarily gave up are most likely the type of people who were injured or implanted with the corresponding chip, Nanan thought so.

"The injured are all in the monitoring area." The researcher said, "We will detect the condition of their wounds, and whether there are chips and abnormalities in the mechanical prosthesis."

Nan An: "What about the others?"

"It will be classified according to the chip situation."

"Classification?"

Lin Ze: "According to the danger, it is divided into one to three levels, and the third level is the highest."

"The first level is an ordinary chip, numbered at the beginning of MBC. This type is a basic smart chip, which is a necessary mechanical prosthesis." The researcher explained to Nan'an, "The second level is numbered TRC, which belongs to intermediate intelligence. After implantation, various signs can be detected. Similar to a health check, it's a voluntary implant."

"As for the third level..." the researcher said, "This category is quite special. We found that most of the mutated chips are similar to the ones implanted by robots ten years ago, and a small part is still unknown."

Nan'an: "What do you mean by unknown?"

Lin Ze: "Some frequencies are similar to robots."

Nan An was slightly taken aback.

"The reason has not been found out yet." Lin Ze said, "But this type of chip is not the source of the mutated infection this time."

After the words fell, Nan'an saw Ai Li come over.

In addition, Flo, Delya, and then Koroy and other interns followed Flo and the others, holding electronic boards for processing data.

"Dr. Lin, the police department and the data department will arrive at the dungeon headquarters later." Ellie said, "Two hours later."

Lin Ze nodded.

Ellie: "The rest of the materials have been sent to the resource allocation office."

"It's work."

Nan'an was listening to their conversation. At this time, he was soaked from head to toe, just like some residents passing by around him—after all, in that situation, almost no one would think of holding an umbrella in order to survive.

Nan'an spread out the wet roses one by one, asked Ellie to take a small square towel, wiped them carefully, and finally put them together in the transparent bag given by Lin Ze.

After finishing all this, Nan'an heard that Deya said that the base has divided the living quarters of the research institute, and he can get the room magnetic card first.

"Doctor, you should come too." Deya's tone was a little nervous, as if he didn't dare to talk to this C-level scientist, "The researcher said that he has left the magnetic card at the headquarters, just take it before you go to the meeting."

Lin Ze still nodded, with no expression on his face.

The headquarters is in the middle of the underground city, and it is a pentagonal building, which is also surrounded by a huge light circle. On every third floor of the building, there are slender corridor bridges, which connect with the five surrounding buildings. According to Ellie, These five buildings mainly correspond to the five major departments of the base, the data department, the police department, the research institute, the resource allocation office and the artificial intelligence department, and among them, the human function department is permanently blocked.

They come to headquarters.

The aperture illuminated the base's headquarters room brightly. When Nan'an entered the door, Lin Ze had strode into one of the rooms. The communicator beeped and began to process things.

So Allie, Flo, and Koroy followed in.

Nan An did not follow them.

Also, although he is a researcher, he is only a clerk of the research institute and a teacher who takes care of the cubs. For chip research, and other wavelengths and frequencies, these are not his field of knowledge.

Unless he disassembled himself and studied it.

As soon as this idea came out, Nan'an trembled.

It seems... pretty scary.

So Nan An unfolded the roses one by one on the table, intending to count the rose petals to see if they could make a shape.And at this moment, when he counted to the tenth piece, he heard a soft door opening.

Nan An followed the prestige, and then slightly opened his eyes—it was a familiar old figure, who was coming in with a slight bow.

Professor Biddle?

Nan An propped his hands on the table, squinted his eyes for a while, and seeing that it was indeed Professor Biddle, unbelievable joy immediately surfaced on his face.

In the next second, he ran over, and a piece of the rose was rubbed off by him, and it fell to the ground dangling.

Biddle was still smiling, and even touched Nan'an's head.

"Are you okay?" Nan'an said impatiently, "I didn't see you before, so I thought something happened. Seeing that Lin Ze was too busy, he didn't ask..."

Biddle just listened and finally smiled.

"It's okay, kid." Biddle took out a cookie from his pocket, "Although I was separated from other people in the research institute, I was lucky that I didn't encounter any mutant robots along the way, and followed others to another Entrance to the base on one side."

Nan An smiled until his eyes narrowed.

The grandfather who committed the crime against the wind is fine, this is really great!

Nan'an decided to hang out with Biddle in the future.

So he took the cookies, and there were small English words written on the outer packaging, which were completely dry. When Nan An put it in his pocket, he wiped it with his little hands, lest there would be any water droplets, which would melt the cookies. Soft.

After finishing all this, Nan'an held Biddle and talked for a while.

And the office area has many researchers coming and going.

They looked hurried, and kept coming in and out with their buzzing communicators.

Until the end, Nan'an saw the last few strange researchers walking out of the research area while communicating - it seemed that only Ai Li and the others were left.

Nan'an looked at Lin Ze and the others.

In a daze, he saw Ellie beckoning, asking him to come over and discuss about room allocation.

So Nanan followed Biddle, and when he entered the door, he saw Lin Ze leaning on the side, with a few magnetic cards on the table.

It seems that the room is indeed allocated.

"It's just a few minutes." Ellie said to everyone, "The rooms in the research institute are all assigned to double rooms now, let's get over it."

Seeing Ke Luoyi and the others, Nan'an nodded.

"The previous assignment was judged and voluntary by the base." Ellie said, "It's the same this time."

Hearing this, Nan An frowned.

He is not a little robot who chooses rooms. The room he was assigned last time had a small kitchen and a small table, which he liked very much.Therefore, this time, in Nan'an's opinion, as long as there is a small kitchen for him to cook omelet rice, it is enough.

So Nan An whispered: "I want to apply for..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ze's gaze swept over.

Nan'an and him looked at each other for a few seconds, and continued to finish the rest: "The base personnel are assigned."

Then, he saw Lin Ze pursed his lower lip.

Nan An didn't understand what was wrong with the scientist, so he glanced left and right at the other people, and found that everyone's expressions were different from other times.

As for the difference, it was too difficult for him, a little robot, to understand.

"I'm in a room with Delya." A young researcher suddenly said, stepped forward and took one of the magnetic cards away, "I'm in trouble."

Ellie smiled: "Okay."

Immediately afterwards, several researchers stepped forward, applied for voluntary housing allocation, and took away the magnetic card.

In the end, there were only two magnetic cards left on the table, corresponding to two double rooms.

Nan'an's small eyes were left-handed, right-handed, and his mouth was puffed out for a few seconds, and he decided to follow the trend.

If there's some clean freak who won't let him eat cookies, or weird humans who won't let him lube/grease at night, then it's going to be trouble.

"Then how about..." Nan'an said, "I'd better volunteer."

Ellie looked over again.

Nan'an: "?"

He didn't understand the meaning of this look.

But he couldn't think much at the moment, because everyone seemed to be waiting for him to speak.

Don't waste too much time because of him.

So Nan'an thought about who to share with.

Before that, when he decided to go to dinner with Flo, Lin Ze looked very unhappy, probably because Flo made some mistakes, such as stealing cookies and candies, so the human scientist's face was frozen like this.

But now it seems that Lin Ze has a tendency to be unhappy again.

Although Nan'an didn't know why, and he couldn't figure out the kind of puzzlement when he frowned, but according to his understanding, as long as Flo was avoided, it was easy to think about it.

After several rounds of rigorous deduction, Nan'an came up with the final answer.

"Then I..." Nan'an paused for a few seconds, and chose the safest option, "I'll live with Ke Luoyi."

"Huh?" Ellie was taken aback again, obviously not responding.

Seeing this, Nan An was startled: "?"

"Are you sure?" Ellie glanced at Lin Ze, hesitated to speak.

So Nan'an realized that Lin Ze hadn't chosen a room yet, maybe because he jumped in line and chose first, which made the scientist black again.

but……

Nan An looked around, and besides Ai Li, there were only him, Ke Luoyi, and Lin Ze.

Ellie is a girl, so naturally she wouldn't live with them.

You can't have a triple room.

Thinking of this, Nan An felt that he had encountered a century-old problem.

Just as he was tapping his little head and frowning to think, he heard Lin Ze say lightly: "I've been thinking about it for so long, don't stop."

Nan'an: "??"

What is the logic of this scientist?

Almost instantly, Nan'an made a decision.

Anyway, this scientist is so fierce that he is still not allowed to live in a room, so he must seize the opportunity to live with Ke Luoyi under any possible changes.

Besides, it is reasonable for a C-level great scientist to live in a room alone.

So Nan'an stepped forward, took one of the magnetic cards in a hurry, and said in a very affirmative tone: "This is the one, I won't change it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Ellie's eyes.

——The very puzzled look in his eyes still showed a hesitant expression.

Nan An was puzzled again: "?"

After a few seconds, he was reminded by Ellie: "The one you took is Dr. Lin's magnetic card."

Harm, this is not fate.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
