Ancient Zoo Vault

The old man tapped twice on the computer keyboard, and a model of a mecha flashed on the screen.

The old man stared straight at the model until four red English 'OVER' appeared on the screen, and then he cheered: "Success!" ”

Hu Si hurriedly ran over from an instrument, put his head up to look at it, laughed twice, and patted the old man's shoulder: "Amazing, the whole set of programs has been cracked by you!" ”

The old man nodded triumphantly: "Who called me the number one computer genius in the alliance, I think back then..."

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes rolled around, and he quickly shut up.

Fortunately, Hu Si didn't pay attention, and had already rushed towards the mecha with a bunch of messy tools, shouting: "It's okay now, it's okay now, I can completely modify it according to my own ideas... Hey..."

Within a few hours, the shell of the mecha had been dismantled by him, and Hu Si was busy humming a small tune, muttering from time to time: "Mmmm... This miscellaneous bundle of energizers is only 70 energy degrees, garbage...

But with this spiral accelerator just... Hey..."

"It's a mess of power distribution, so... That's perfect..."

"Old man, old man... How about the core control program... No problem? Okay, okay, then I'll tear this down... Hey..."

"The protective layer outside the cockpit is best to be coated with a layer of ultra-silicon synthetic powder, damn, old man, you have a lot of treasures here, there are such materials..."

The old man smiled and leaned on the box in front of the computer and nibbled on the chicken legs, nodded, and said vaguely: "That's, this is one of the three major scientific research bases in China before the end of the world, and there are many good things..."

"Old man, how about installing another backup system for it? Why don't you make a fully automatic control system? Or an anthropomorphic driving system? ”

The old man's eyes suddenly bulged, and he almost choked to death from the chicken legs: "Damn, go and go... No play! ”

Hu Si gave him a look full of contempt: "I heard that the Wang consortium has invented such a thing... Are you inferior to them?

The old man glared and said, "Even if that thing pulls up a team of several hundred people, it will take a few years... Am I a alone?

Besides, computer programs are not omnipotent, this kind of system is at best a little better in terms of accuracy, and in practice, it is definitely not as good as a well-trained mecha combatant! Unless we can find that piece..."

Halfway through speaking, the old man seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing again, and quickly covered his mouth.

Hu Si didn't care about him, he just muttered there: "Aren't I pursuing perfection?" How else is it worthy of the great title of our two cranky people..."

.......

Ten days later

"Brother Ma, how's it going?

Although this beam of refueling guns is still only 70 energy degrees, after being supercharged by the spiral accelerator, the power has doubled!

And this protective layer, as long as it is not hit continuously, it can withstand all attacks below 150 energy degrees, and here..."

In the secret room of the ancient zoo, Hu Si pulled Ma Ping'an and chattered endlessly, boasting about the awesomeness of the mecha in front of him.

In front of the two of them, an earthy yellow mecha emitted a strange glow in the slightly dim light of the chamber, like a pile of strangely shaped butter.

This mech was one of the two mechs that were 'picked' from the repair center.

But now it's a completely different story.

The original black body is now an earthy yellow color with a subtle glow, which is the effect of coated with a super-silicon synthetic powder.

Although it is a bit ugly, according to Hu Si, the defense of the mecha has been greatly improved.

In the left hand, a one-meter-long beam refueling gun also has an extra section, a spiral bulge is added at the top, and the war knife in the right hand is also about ten centimeters wider, and there are nail-sized curved ripples on the sharp blade, flashing with blue light...

Ma Ping'an looked around the mecha with satisfaction, and nodded: "Well, yes, yes, even if the unlucky guy who lost the mecha stands here, he can't recognize it..."

Hu Si smiled and pointed to the three X-5s next to him: "The performance of these machines is much stronger than these two, and when Uncle Chaoxiang cracks the program, I will do it, and it will be more powerful after the modification, and the two ordinary mechas are not necessarily their opponents." ”

Ma Ping'an touched his chin and smiled, with such five mecha plus the thirty or so brothers of the rhinoceros, his strength is almost on an equal footing with the Shotgun Society, this old man is really a treasure.

The old man was a little unhappy, and muttered beside him, "Let me work again... Salaries and bonuses are not paid at all, isn't this exploitation of the elderly... Violation of Union Labor Law..."

Ma Ping'an sighed, patted his head, and shouted: "Forget and forget, well, let's do it, Uncle Chaoxiang, how about a roast chicken for each mecha?" ”

As he spoke, he found a greasy paper bag out of nowhere and shook it.

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed it impatiently, tore open the paper bag, grabbed a fat chicken that was roasted and browned and steaming and gnawed it, and said vaguely: "Well, one is not enough, one a day, one a day is about the same!" ”

"Ah, eat slowly, leave me some..."

Hu Si swallowed his saliva wildly beside him, and after a few glances, he finally couldn't hold it back, put down the tools in his hand, stretched out a pair of black dirty hands, and pounced on them to grab them.

I don't know when Sisi's girl learned such a good craft, since she started to bake the first food, first rhinoceros, Hu Si, and then this old man, as long as she tasted it, almost all of them became the protagonist of 'I'm crazy about food'.

(Note: "I'm Crazy About Food", a well-known TV series in New World, tells the story of how a group of humans who survive on an isolated island due to death cherish life and cherish food)

"Greedy old man..."

Ma Ping'an muttered, his face full of hesitation: "One a day, I think Uncle you will really make a price, this is a super delicacy with seventy or eighty kinds of precious seasonings, each of which has to be carefully cooked for three days and three nights...

One a day can't stand it... Well, one in three days, how about it? ”

"One in three days? No, it doesn't..."

The old man finally swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and just wanted to shake his head, but heard Ma Ping'an add, "How about rewarding one more every time you complete a job?" ”

He blinked, pondered, nodded, snatched the last remaining chicken wing from Hu Si's hand, quickly gnawed it, and ran away quickly with the bone in his mouth: "Hurry up, where... Where is there still work! ”

"Well, Uncle Misconception, come, it's time for this one..."Hu Si squeezed his eyes at Ma Ping'an, and followed with a smile.

Ma Ping'an seemed to have suffered a big loss, sighed and turned around, looking at this secret room of hundreds of square meters.

Hu Si contacted him yesterday with a communicator and told him that the old man seemed to be looking for something here, which made Ma Ping'an's original suspicions clearer.

If there was a secret door to the ground behind that strange mech, why weren't there two secret doors leading elsewhere?

After careful attention for a long time, there was no trace of anything unusual on the surrounding walls.

Thinking that this old man had been here for a few years and had not found anything, Ma Ping'an was not in a hurry, so he gave up looking for it first.

There is time, as long as Hu Si keeps an eye on it, he is not afraid of the old man's ghosts.

Then, his eyes focused on the strange mecha, and Ma Ping'an's heart moved.

Like all kinds of instruments in this secret room, this mecha should also be a pre-apocalyptic product, with the technology at that time, the performance of this mecha should be far better than the current mecha, if it can be repaired...

Thinking of this, Ma Ping'an suddenly became interested, waved his hand and called Hu Si over: "Have you checked this mecha?" Does it work? ”

Hu Si waved a wrench-like tool in his hand and shook his head: "I've seen it a long time ago, but this mecha is very weird, almost every important system in it is controlled by a processor.

Looking at the circuit links outside the processor, they should all be controlled by a master control chip.

But I followed the line for a long time, but I didn't find the main control chip, so I couldn't repair it..."

"Uh, can't find it?" Ma Ping'an asked strangely.

Hu Si showed a look of shame: "As long as it is in this body, how can I not find it with my professional level!"

It's gone! Missing! Someone snatched it away! ”

"Uh, in that case, can't it be replaced with another chip?" Ma Ping'an looked at the strange mecha, and he still had a thief's heart.

"Well, this... I didn't think about it, so I asked the old man. ”

Hu Si touched his chin with his black hand and ran over to pull the old man over.

"You're going to fix that mech?" The old man looked at Ma Ping'an with strange eyes.

"What a waste to put there... If this one is repaired, well, I'll pay you ten roast chickens! ”

Ma Ping'an looked distressed, as if he had suffered a lot in such an unequal exchange.

"Ten roast chickens..."

The old man seemed a little tempted, but soon came back to his senses and shook his head like a rattle: "Don't do it, don't do it..."

"That mecha has a total of forty-eight main processors and forty-eight spare processors, each processor has its own set of programs, and the main control chip is gone, so the main control program has to be compiled now..."

"That set of programs is one roast chicken, and the main control program is counted as two..."Ma Ping'an quietly increased the chips of temptation.

"No... No way! The old man's hesitant tone was a clear indication that he was struggling.

"The master control program counts as four! Plus, after it's all fixed, add a roast suckling pig! Ma Ping'an threw out a killer move.

"Well... All right... However, the program of this mecha is too complicated, and it will take a lot of time..."The old man finally surrendered.

"It's okay, ten days is not enough for a month, and a month is not enough for two months, how about it?"

"Well, three months, three months I can guarantee that they will all be cracked." The old man counted the time.

"Deal!" Ma Ping'an happily stretched out his hand and patted the old man's shoulder.

"Also, the main control chip is gone, so I have to buy one to replace it."

"Well, what kind of chips are needed?" Ma Ping'an's eyes glanced at the computer next to him.

"Ordinary can't be used, alas, the pre-apocalyptic technology is really too advanced, such a program operation, at least you have to use the best Aurora series now..."

"Aurora series?"

Ma Ping'an opened the virtual screen on the identity chip, linked to the Internet and searched for it, "The latest model is the Aurora seventh-generation S16, by the way, it costs 650,000... Grab the money..."

But after thinking about it, how can you buy a better new mecha for more than one million, and then calculate that you can still make up more than one million in your account with your identity chip, Ma Ping'an gritted his teeth and asked, "That's it, okay?" ”

The old man lowered his head and thought for a while: "It should be okay, there is no better one anyway, but there is no original program, even if I compile a replacement, at most I can only restore the most basic systems of this mecha." ”

"The most basic system?"

"It's weapon systems, power systems, environmental acquisition systems, and so on."

Ma Ping'an asked curiously, "Does this mecha have other systems?" ”

The old man blinked: "Judging from the pre-apocalyptic technology, this mecha shouldn't be so simple...

I've also researched that at least half of the systems are functionally unknown.

But it's useless now, without the original main control chip, even Superman can't recover its original ability...

I can't tell you exactly now, but I'll have to fix it, but it's a lot better than the current mecha. ”
