"Okay. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhou Xin nodded, then contact the person in the engineering ship, let's see what the mystery is in that cabinet.

The screen flashed, and then Zhou Xin saw a person sitting on a chair with a serious expression, while the huge cabinet behind him was standing quietly.

It was a man about Dart's age, the oldest of the Atlanteans on board, and unlike Dart, his face was pointed, and he wore a very old-fashioned round eye, and he was very thin, and he looked like a standard scholar with a weak scholar.

Before Zhou Xin could take a closer look at him, Dart spoke in surprise, "Tarst?!" Why did you come to the ship, you came, you haven't come to see me for so long, what are you doing? ”

A voice suddenly appeared in front of him, and the researcher named Duster was startled, he looked around for a while, and under the guidance of Zhou Xin, he saw a screen not far away.

He walked up to the screen and said helplessly to Dart, "I want to see you too, but there is no way, I want to look at this thing." As he spoke, he stepped aside a little to reveal the cabinet behind him.

"What the hell is in here?" Dart asked, "What's the use of just guarding this cabinet when you don't inform me when you get on board?" ”

"Aren't you busy settling the people?" Tarst scratched his head and replied, "We want you to tell you about this after you're done with this, but it's not in a hurry." ”

"The cabinet is so important, but things are not in a hurry?" Dart asked, confused.

"As long as you can bring the ship, the rest is really not in a hurry."

"So what's in this cupboard?" Dart asked, and then he looked puzzled, "I think you seem to be guarding the base research institute with the others, and where did you get this kind of cabinet in the research institute?" ”

"The cabinet is not from the institute, but from the outside." "It's not the cabinet that's all about the cabinet, it's what's in the cabinet. Then, he said a name, and after listening to him, everyone in the command cabin showed mixed expressions, "Atlas, it's Atlas in the cabinet, and it's our job to keep it safe." ”

After hearing his words, several Atlanteans present suddenly showed slightly excited expressions, "It's actually Atlas?!" Dart was surprised and said, "Does the Dean want to leave this thing to us?" ”

Spred, on the other hand, had a visibly worried expression, and after hearing what had happened to the Atlanteans before, he seemed to be a little wary of the artificial intelligence. However, seeing that the Atlanteans in the command module still have so much respect for artificial intelligence, he didn't say anything. However, many of the other Thunderers had a different expression from Spred, and they seemed to be slightly happy, as if they didn't think it was a bad thing to have an artificial intelligence.

However, Zhou Xin did not show obvious emotions, and he listened to Dart's next conversation without being surprised.

"I don't know what the Dean thinks, he just told us that we must send Atlas on the ship, and he said that Atlas will help you well, as for the rest, the situation was too urgent at that time, and the Dean didn't explain it to us in detail." Duster said.

"Help—" Dart thought for a moment, then he said, "Anyway, it's not okay to keep the Atlas on the engineering ship, you might as well have the fleet check it out and take it down." ”

"It was supposed to be the way it should be." Duster said helplessly, "But those robots don't know about Atlas, so what if something goes wrong if you check it casually." ”

"Don't worry, I'll let them pay attention, and this is a routine inspection, just to check if there are any harmful microorganisms in the cabinet, it won't matter." Zhou Xin answered beside him.

"In that case—" Duster thought for a moment, "but I'd still like you'd be able to keep an eye on you while you're inspecting, because your robots are too old-fashioned to communicate." ”

"Okay." Zhou Xin agreed, "Anyway, it's okay now, otherwise Dart and I will go over now." He proposed, and Dart did not object.

"Your will." Tarst made a strange gesture to Zhou Xin, and Dart explained it to Zhou Xin next to him, and he realized that this gesture was a way for the Atlanteans to pay respect.

After the communication, Zhou Xin led Dart to the dock where the engineering ship was parked, followed by Christy and a few other Atlanteans, even Ralph, who was very curious about artificial intelligence, and Spred followed silently with a blank face. On the way, Dart sighed, "It's been a long time since I've seen Atlas, and I really miss it." ”

"Haven't seen you in a long time?" Zhou Xin asked strangely, "Could it be that even you have a hard time seeing artificial intelligence?" ”

"That's not what I meant." Dart explained, "Its interactive interface is often seen, but the cabinet as the body is not so easy to see, and the artificial intelligence can repair itself without the need for special care, just provide it with a maintenance robot." Then he flashed a look of reminiscence, "I remember the last time I saw its cabinet was when I was a kid, when I snuck into the room where the AI cabinet was kept, and then I saw a bunch of machines that I had never seen before. It didn't take long for me to be discovered, and then I was reprimanded by the Dean, and then I realized that the room contained the Atlas itself. Then he looked puzzled, "I remember that there were a lot of cabinets in there back then, why did they only bring one cabinet up." ”

"Just go and see." Zhou Xin replied.

A few minutes later, they came to the dock where the engineering ship was stored, and before they could reach the engineering ship, Zhou Xin saw four people standing at the door of the engineering ship, and when they saw Zhou Xin walking towards them, four people greeted them. After a few words, they walked towards the inside of the construction ship.

Walking to the side of the cabinet, Zhou Xin carefully looked at the cabinet, which was similar to what he had seen before. This cabinet is really a very ordinary metal cabinet, the surface of the cabinet is gray, and it is not covered with gorgeous patterns as Zhou Xin imagined before, and the whole seems to be a simple combination of six metal plates to form this cabinet. It is about a person more than a person tall, with a length and width of nearly one meter, and from the outside, this is completely a cabinet that can even be called rough, and everyone never imagined that there is a high-tech artificial intelligence in such a cabinet.

As soon as he saw this cabinet, Ralph was shocked and exclaimed: "This cabinet is too simple, is it, is it okay to put such a valuable thing in it as artificial intelligence?" ”

"Don't underestimate this cabinet." "Although it doesn't look good, the metal that makes up this cabinet is the hardest alloy we've ever made, and because it's so hard, we can simply process it into plates and assemble it into this cabinet, which is very difficult to produce, and we don't have a lot of it, so to speak, more than half of the alloys in the base are used in this cabinet." ”

"Is it really that hard?" Zhou Xin walked to the side of the cabinet, stretched out his hand and knocked on it, and the knock made two crisp knocking sounds, "It feels no different from ordinary metal." ”

"Of course, you can't see the difference, but the difference in nature is very large, if you want to know its nature, I have a little sample here, you can take it and study it." As he spoke, he pulled out a small piece of metal from his body.

Taking the fragment, Zhou Xin looked at it and handed it to the others, and after passing it around, the fragment returned to Zhou Xin's hand. He then handed the fragments to the engineering robots that followed him and asked them to analyze them. Then, Zhou Xin turned his gaze back to Tarst's direction, "Alright, now let's get back to business, how to open this thing." As he spoke, he reached out and patted the cabinet.

"Let's get started." With that, Tarst and the three researchers behind him walked in all four directions of the cabinet, and then they stretched out their right hands, and one pressed it against one side of the cabinet.

Zhou Xin saw that just where their hands touched the cabinet, a dent the same size as their hands suddenly appeared. Then the dent lit up slightly, and then Zhou Xin heard a "click" sound from the cabinet, and after hearing this sound, the four people retracted their hands and retreated.

"This is open?" Zhou Xin asked in surprise.

Before he could finish speaking, the cabinet began to change. Its four sides began to open in all directions, and everyone took a few steps back when they saw this. After a while, the cabinet was completely opened, and the contents appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Inside the cabinet were several black boxes stacked on top of each other, connected by wires, but other than that, there was nothing strange about them, not even the slightest movement of their operation.

"There's artificial intelligence in there?" Zhou Xin looked incredulous, "Doesn't this look like some black boxes?" It seems to be similar to the normal console we make. As he spoke, he motioned for the probe next to him to go up and check.

Duster stared at the detector as he said, "Then what do you think it will be, it's not for seeing." Also, Atlas wasn't supposed to stay in these boxes in the first place, and this time we only let it in because of the urgency of time and the limited space. ”

"And where was it staying?" Although I had heard Dart mention it before, because it was a memory from his childhood, Dart's description was not very accurate, so Zhou Xin was still a little curious.

"It turns out that the device it was in was much bigger than this cabinet." Tarst replied, "It takes up enough space in a room, and it was a little unhappy to let it into the cupboard this time, and before going in, it kept complaining that it was too small, and the dean coaxed it for most of the day before it reluctantly entered." ”

As he spoke, the probe had completed its inspection of the cabinet, including the box, and had found no living presence sufficient to endanger the ship. After listening to the probe's report, the group took a few steps forward and surrounded the black boxes.

Zhou Xin reached out and patted the top of the box, "Okay, since everything is normal, then you can start this artificial intelligence next." He turned to Duster and asked, "Where is the switch, and how do I turn on this device?" ”

Tust walked over to the box, and in a surprising motion, he raised his foot and kicked the bottom box hard, and said, "Don't pretend, I know you're awake." As he spoke, he kicked twice.

Everyone watched Tust's movements in amazement, even Dart, who was an Atlantean, was surprised, only the emotions of the four researchers who carried the cabinet before did not fluctuate, but they were accustomed to it.

"No kidding." Zhou Xin said in surprise, "How is this possible-" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the boxes stacked together suddenly moved. The box at the bottom was the first to emit a red light, and then in order from bottom to top, the boxes began to light up in turn, and when all the boxes were lit up, the red light on the box turned yellow, and then some of the yellow light went out, and the remaining light formed a pattern that Zhou Xin had seen before-the outline of the Great West Continent, and then all the lights went out, and the boxes did not move.

"This-" Looking at the restored box, Zhou Xin didn't know how to continue, he was afraid that before he finished his next sentence, those boxes would have new changes, but this time after waiting for a long time, those boxes were still stacked quietly together, nothing happened, hesitated, Zhou Xin still spoke, "What is the situation, why is there no movement when it is lit up, is it broken?" ”

The expressions of the four people remained unchanged, and Tarst kicked the bottom box again, and then slapped the top box with his hand, "Don't pretend, hurry up, there are important things to do." ”

After only the third shot, the boxes lit up red again, but this time the red light seemed to form some patterns, and Zhou Xin recognized them a little, and found that these patterns seemed to be Atlantean characters that he had seen from Christy before. The Atlanteans present all showed expressions of crying and laughing when they saw the string of words, and seeing that everyone else showed blank expressions, Christy explained in a low voice next to her: "It says: I haven't woken up yet, don't make any noise about me." After listening to her explanation, the other people present also showed the same expression.

"If you don't get up, the dean will come to teach you a lesson." There was no way, Duster had to resort to the last resort......
