Xia Xin nodded, put away the palm-sized box and got up to say goodbye.

Tang Yan and Zeng Hua sent the two out of the door to watch them get in the car and leave before returning to the office building.

"Tong Huaiyu went back?"

"Hmm." Zeng Hua said: "If there are no accidents, the first batch of marine fish will be delivered to the nearest pier a week later. ”

"How is the overhaul of the equipment of the canning production line?"

"The filling and sealing equipment is running normally, and the raw materials and workers are in place and ready to be put into production at any time."

"Workers...... Don't worry, once the supply of marine fish is on the right track, let the group of Mr. Skillful Robots and Miss Helper robots go into trial operation for a period of time to see the effect. ”

"Okay."

After Tang Yan sent Zeng Hua away, he stood by the window and watched Cai Wei and Rena who were sitting on the roof of the factory in front of him blowing the wind, and sank his consciousness into the system space.

After talking with Comrade Jiao yesterday evening, the system prompted that Comrade Jiao's trust in him reached 100%, the mission goal was achieved, and the gift package had been delivered.

He returned to his room in the evening and clicked on the gift bag.

The most striking change is the increase in the resource balance from 238 to 8238.

He secretly admired that he had put so much energy, spent so many brain cells, and sharpened his lips for so long in gaining Comrade Jiao's trust, and it turned out that his efforts had been richly rewarded.

Get 8,000 bonus points in one go!

Just as he was excited to add bonus points, he suddenly found that there was an extra email in his inbox.

Tang Yan clicked on it, and the system interface automatically switched to browsing mode, and then he saw model diagrams, mathematical formulas, and engineering parameters......

He was stunned all of a sudden, and he could be said to know nothing about the knowledge involved in mechanical engineering, electronics, communication technology, casting technology, etc.

Although his level is not enough to understand the content inside, one thing is certain, the content of the document is about the command center------ the design drawings of the command center and related engineering materials.

In other words, with the resources and technology level up to the standard, he can build a Terran base in StarCraft.

What is the Terran base? It is an outpost of space colonization, which can provide functions such as residence, communication, command, defense, basic medical care, ore smelting, material supply, etc., and more valuable, it can also fly and move, and change the location of the stronghold.

Of course, under realistic conditions, it is impossible to build a command center in every minute and every second as in the game, and with the current level of science and technology and material reserves in the world, it is almost impossible to build a command center.

He was well aware of how difficult it was to stand in the way.

But...... Why did the system open the design drawings of the command center to him?

Maybe Amy can give him some guidance, after all, she is her own lieutenant, and it is her job to maintain the operation, construction, and resource allocation of the base in game mode.

It's a pity that in order to help herself get out of trouble, she leaked the key information to unlock the Star Spirit Module, and was once again locked up by the system, this time for two months, and he could only press his restless mind and wait quietly.

………………

At the same time, in a hidden place.

There was the sound of tapping and tapping in the empty hallway, very regular, or rather rhythmic.

Shiny leather shoes hit the shiny floor, sometimes with their toes down, sometimes with their heels down.

The letter waved his arms, twisted his toned psoas, hummed a tune that only he could understand, and walked along the corridor illuminated by the bright lights, his expression joyful, like a child finding a new toy.

Da Da Da, tap ......

Da Da Da, tap ......

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

"Yo, you seem to have found a new interest, Xin." It was a woman's voice, and it sounded lazy, as if she had just woken up from a nap: "Isn't it good to be a painter?" I think your temperament is more suitable for being a painter. ”

Shin stopped when he heard this, covered his right cheek with one hand, and looked through his right eye to see the woman standing against the wall in the corner in front of him.

She is very tall, 1.9 meters tall, wearing a white leather armor, a white mask, and white high heels.

Ren is dressed in black, black and bright.

She was dressed in white, white and bright.

"Liang, you know, Ren won't let me talk to you, she said you have a bad temper and may eat me at any time."

"Do you believe Ren's words too?" The woman giggled, "Don't be stupid, she's just afraid I'll snatch you away from her." ”

"Thy pale face, sickly eyes, blood-stained lips, and loose hair...... There is a very chic beauty, like those who have dedicated their lives to art throughout history. ”

Xin looked at her: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true."

"Then I'll go back to painting?"

"Okay, okay, when you become a well-known painter one day, I will be your bride."

"Forget it." The letter said very seriously: "I'm afraid I won't be able to control it and suck your blood dry." ”

"You suck my blood, and I eat your flesh. This is the ultimate love......"

Shin's eyes lit up after hearing her words, and he turned around and walked to the corridor on the right, repeating her words as he went, "Extreme love...... Yes, the ultimate love ......"

As the figure of the letter disappeared at the end of the corridor, a sword was handed to Ryo, pointing at her throat.

"I've warned you many times not to take the letter lightly."

The woman in white glanced at the woman in black, ignored the long sword in front of her, and combed her long hair with her hand: "Which eye of yours saw me attack him?" For handsome men, I like to be more direct than to start. ”

After saying this, she stuck out her tongue and gently wiped it over the white face towel, leaving stains of saliva.

Ren's eyes suddenly froze, his face flashed, and the long sword went further, less than half an inch away from Liang's body.

"This is the last time, and the next time I will cut off your head with a sword."

With that, she withdrew her sword and turned to leave.

"Cut!" Liang looked at her back as she faded away, and sneered, "I heard that you were robbed of your long sword by a man named Tang Yan when I was away?" ”

Ren paused abruptly and looked back.

"Do I need to avenge you?"

"No, you don't."

Ren finished speaking, and was about to continue walking, but the door to the room on the other side of the fork opened when a middle-aged man with white hair and beard walked out.

"Oh, old man. I've heard 'Virtue' say, aren't you afraid that the Dominator will be furious and come back to punish you? "The woman in white looks like she is not afraid of big things.

Ren didn't move, and looked at the middle-aged man fixedly.

In the end, he didn't say anything, and walked in the direction of Ren and Shinlai with his head bowed slightly.

"Don't go." Liang looked at his back and said, "Do you know anything about that man named Tang Yan?" ”

The old man did not answer the question, and the figure faded away, and the footsteps could not be heard.

Ren glanced at Liang who was standing against the wall at the fork and turned back.

Silence returned, save for the muffled hum of the vents.

Liang sighed, wrapped his left hand around his chest, pinched his temples with his right hand and shook his head gently: "I seem to have missed a lot of interesting things, it's really disappointing......"

………………

"You really don't plan to hire former Maxim's Cannery laborers?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Now the reputation of Maxim's canned food has been greatly damaged, and the merchants of the Western Alliance have made it clear that they will not implement the agreement of previous years and import a large number of canned products. If it's just a small batch of canned fish, those Mr. Skillful robots and Miss Helper robots are enough to support the operation of the cannery, so why hire the original people and pay them extra wages. ”

"I can't agree with your decision. Be! From the perspective of commercial interests, replacing human labor with robots can save costs. But have you ever thought about it, when Gem City raises the standard of protection fees, and those laborers have no jobs to support their families, how can they afford the high protection fees? What happens if they and their families are evicted from the city because they can't afford to pay protection money? ”

"Does this have anything to do with me? I didn't drive them out of the city. ”

"There was an old saying, 'I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.'" They may die of starvation, be eaten by the beasts and living corpses that roam the wasteland, become a wall of the dead used by marauders to claim their territory, become slave traders' money-making tools, or even become bandits. Can you bear to see something like this happen? ”

“……”

"Although you are not the actual perpetrator, your actions are tantamount to aiding and abetting the abuse, becoming an accomplice to the evil forces."

"You sharp-toothed iron pimple, just a robot is here to educate me?"

"I'm a robot created by humans, but I have a clear definition of good and evil, good and brutal, right and wrong, like you humans, who can always find a reason to hurt others, plunder others, and violate others."

“……”

"Human beings always talk about survival of the fittest, always talk about natural selection, and then say that they are just advanced animals. In my mind, this is nothing more than a lie used by meat eaters to deceive the weak, and to give their oppression and exploitation a seemingly true but actually fallacious basis. Once such a lie is repeated thousands of times, it will become the truth and take root in the hearts of the people, and the weak will weaken their sense of resistance and lose their blood. ”

“……”

"I think what makes humans different from animals and plants is their creativity, and only animals that are not human will hunt and eat species at the bottom of the food chain and desperately plunder the resources for survival. Human beings are wise, and the development of human civilization is a process of creating wealth, and only by making it clear that wealth is created, not plundered and oppressed, will human civilization continue to move forward. ”

“……”

"So, Mr. Tang, do you want to be a wealth creator? Or be a higher animal that respects the law of survival of the fittest? ”

"Comrade Jiao, the person who designed you is a philosopher, right? I'm really curious how a guy like you can be tolerated by a science and engineering designer who talks about science and keeps his mouth shut about materialism. ”

"Don't change the subject, you now have production resources like Maxim's Canning Factory, which can provide living conditions for some humans living in the wasteland, so do you choose to take on this responsibility or choose to ignore it?"

"Comrade Jiao, don't be so serious, where is the matter so serious."

Sand, sand......

This is the end of the recording, replaced by a slight noise.

No one knows where it started, but the contents of this tape quickly spread throughout Gem City.

Even if it's just a tape, you can't see the speaker's face, and you can deduce their identity from the content of the conversation.

Obviously, the character with the metallic voice is the overseer of Vault 1017, Comrade Jiao------ a government assistant robot produced before the outbreak of nuclear war, who once exposed Luo Zuoming's crimes of defecting to the Western Alliance through Al Jazeera.

Comrade Jiao's interlocutor was naturally Tang Yan, the deputy head of the Panda Man Legion, who had just obtained the Maxim's Canning Factory.

The debate between the two sides is whether robots should be used instead of humans to produce canned marine fish.

Tang Yan advocated abandoning the employment of original factory workers and rational use of robot resources, while Comrade Jiao's view was to insist on people-oriented.

Many people have taken a keen interest in this stubborn and pedantic robot, which a month ago was hard at all, and now it is using aggressive rhetoric to criticize and educate the flamboyant guy.

Some people were worried about its safety, speculating whether it would annoy the person who was poisoned.

Nuclear war has collapsed the world pattern, and also collapsed the rule of law and morality, and it is ironic and beautiful for the wasteland humans to have such a true and righteous robot in the current world.

The virtues of the pre-war man are inherited in it.

Irrelevant people can get some spiritual baptism from the dialogue between one person and one machine. Those involved, especially the former Maxim's Cannery workers who had been in contact with Xia Xin, fell into deep unease.

Their worst fears happened.

It's been more than a week since Xia Xin met with labor representatives, but there has been no response from Maxim's Cannery, and the sudden increase in the standard of protection fees by the tax department of Gem City has caused them a lot of mental stress.

Falling into a difficult situation is not the most terrible, but the despair caused by the sudden disillusionment of hope.

Comrade Jiao is the overseer of Vault 1017, it can't control the affairs of the Maxim's Canning Factory, and the wasteland is not a reasonable world, it has always been who has the biggest fist and who has the right to speak.

Comrade Jiao's attempt to kidnap a mercenary leader with moral force seems ridiculous, it is really self-aware.

But whatever the outcome of the controversy, the workers are grateful for its advocacy and arguments for this robot that lived in the old days.

As low-level people, whether in Gem City or in Maxim's Cannery, they have never had the right to speak, and if they don't have the right to speak, they naturally have no opportunity to express their demands, Wang Ming, Luo Zuoming, Merlin, White Widow...... These people represent the interests of the powerful and the rich, and they are the meat eaters in Comrade Jiao's mouth, of course, they will not speak from the position of predators, and now there are finally people who are willing to speak for them, even if Comrade Jiao is just a robot.
