After dinner, Tie Slag leaned lazily on the chair, looked at Ye Xinling who was cleaning up the dishes, and ordered, "Clean the dishes with the water you used to wash the rice and vegetables just now, and then wipe the floor with the water, and finally pour it into the vegetable field." ”

"Yes, master." Ye Xinling replied obediently. The rest of the time, she washed the dishes, mopped the floor, and watered the vegetables under the watchful eye of the iron slag......

After doing these things, a lot of sweat oozed from Ye Xinling's forehead. She habitually lifted her sleeves to wipe her sweat. At this moment, a white tissue appeared in front of her. She took the tissue and held it in the palm of her hand, but her eyes were staring directly at the owner of the tissue. Then, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sweet smile. It was the first time Iron Slag had seen her smile. When she laughed, she had two dimples on her face and a sweet smile.

Iron Slag was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect her to laugh so sweetly, so sweet.

"Master, is there something on Xinling's face?" Ye Xinling bit her lip and asked.

Iron Slag nodded his head, "Yes." ”

"What's there?" Ye Xinling asked seriously. She stared at the iron slag, her eyes becoming more and more hazy. I saw that there were autumn waves in her eyes, as if they were about to drip water.

In the face of Ye Xinling's powerful offensive, the iron slag couldn't bear it. He turned his face away and scratched his hair, "There's a demon." ”

"Master, do you need to warm up your bed tonight?" "No, I don't." "But Xinling can't do anything but warm the bed."

"Do you have amnesia? I remember you just passed, you will be logistical and driving. Iron Slag frowned.

"However, as soon as Xinling arrives at night, she will only warm up the bed." "Is there a difference between night and day?" "Yes, as soon as Xinling arrives at night, her heart will beat non-stop."

"If you don't have a heartbeat, you're going to die?" Iron Slag asked.

"It's not an ordinary heartbeat, it's a heartbeat that is very strong. Heavy, one after another, plopping and plopping, the heart felt like it was about to jump out of the chest. At this time, Xinling will feel that all her strength has been drained, and even breathing will become difficult, and then, Xinling will forget everything, and she will not know anything. ”

"Are you writing?" Iron slag asked straight up. ――[Here, I would like to pay tribute to the respected three-perched fish and the god of rain]

"Okay, since the master doesn't need to warm the bed, then Xinling will go sleep in the living room." Seeing that the iron slag was a little angry, Ye Xinling did not continue the topic with interest.

Subsequently, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward. After a while, Iron Slag was the first to break the silence, and he instructed Ye Xinling to clean up the room. Then, he found a beach chair in the office, opened it, and lay down on it.

At this time, the moon gradually rose into the sky.

At night, Iron Slag lies on a beach chair and looks up at the starry sky. The stars in the sky shone brightly, like bright eyes looking down on the earth.

Looking at the starry sky, Iron Slag remembered a lot of past events. He remembered the time Lena had first arrived in Iron Mountain. He was only fourteen years old at the time, and the Iron Old Man had been dead for many years. He can only survive on his own. Every day, I have to go to the garbage dump to grab things, and live a life of hunger and hunger. Although life is very difficult, at least he can survive, at least he doesn't need to live on the streets.

But the good times didn't last long, and since the death of the old man Tie, the forces of all parties in Iron Mountain Town have been fighting the idea of this base. It's just that they didn't divide the accounts evenly, so they didn't do it immediately. The low mountain is the territory of the Iron Old Man, and no one dared to fight the idea of this place when he was alive. Because the whole Tieshan Town knows that the old man is not afraid of death, crazy and persistent. Although he was only one man, no force was willing to provoke him.

This low mountain can be attacked and defended, and the old man of iron has spent a lifetime of hard work to build this place, turning this place into a solid fortress. However, the laws of this world are not very binding. Six years later, the major forces of Iron Mountain Town completed the division of this fortress and sent hundreds of people to take it over.

At that time, the fourteen-year-old knew that he was going to lose this evidence, the home left to him by his adoptive father. But there was nothing he could do, so he had to strapher his whole body with explosives, pour fuel oil everywhere, and prepare to die with the invaders.

That day, if it weren't for Lena, he would have become a real pile of iron slag.

The old man once taught him: "A man must know how to repay his kindness in order to stand on heaven and earth." ”

The old man also taught him: "Men should protect their women." ”

Iron Slag doesn't know if Lena counts as his woman, because the identity and status difference between them is too far apart. But Lena was gracious, righteous, and perhaps loving to him. So he had to do everything he could to change her fate. However, in order to do this, it is necessary to gain enough strength, enough to counter the power of the Shiros family. However, he had no idea how to gain power.

As he thought about it, a thick feeling of tiredness suddenly hit. For a moment, the eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Maybe it was because of the days of hard work and sleeping in the open air, he was really tired.

At this time, the moonlight gradually sprinkled all over the earth, and a gust of early winter north wind blew gently, bringing a trace of coolness. Iron slag curled up and lay on the beach chair and gradually fell asleep......

In the haze, Iron Slag seemed to hear someone calling him, someone pulling him, someone holding him, someone taking off his shoes......

The next day at noon.

Iron Slag woke up to find him lying on the bed in his bedroom. There was a soft touch on the side, and the iron slag turned his head to see that it was Ye Xinling sleeping beside him. I saw her wearing thin underwear, leaning sideways against him.

At this moment, Ye Xinling slowly opened her eyes. Then, she just stared at the iron slag motionlessly. is like a young girl who is in love for the first time, staring at her first love, her eyes are full of infatuation and attachment. After a while, she showed a faint smile, "Master, good morning~"

"Good morning." Iron slag whispered. In this atmosphere, he involuntarily used a more gentle tone, although he was not used to it.

Then they got up, did some light washing, changed into clean clothes, and finally closed the door and went to Lao Niu's repair shop.

After going out, they took to the gravel road. Since it was now downhill, they walked very easily.

"Master, are you good friends with Lao Niu?" Ye Xinling looked at the repair shop at the foot of the mountain and asked.

"Hmm." "He's nice and kind." "Hmm." "But he didn't dare to talk to Xin Ling." "Huh?" "When Xin Ling first came, he didn't dare to look at Xin Ling."

"Well...... "Master, why is this happening?"

Iron Slag grinned, "He's embarrassed." ”

"Is he afraid of women?" "Hmm." "Then how will he find a wife in the future?"

"What are you looking for a wife?" Iron Slag asked rhetorically. For someone of his age, it seems that finding a wife is still a long way off.

"Master......" Ye Xinling was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer......

A few minutes later, Tie Slag walked into the repair shop with Ye Xinling. In the open space in the middle of the repair shop, the iron slag learned the animal call, "Moo...... Moo...... Moo......"

"Master, how do you learn to bark a cow......" Ye Xinling was halfway through, covering her mouth and laughing.

"It's a code." Iron slag explained.

After a while, the old cow and the daffodils came out of the tin hut. Both of them had deep dark circles on their faces, and it seemed that they had been working all night on the intelligent AI module.

"What a miracle!" "What a cow!" The old cow and the narcissus doctor scrambled to sigh. Then, the two of them began to talk and talk incoherently about the role of the Tie Zhaming intelligent AI module. Iron Slag listened for a while before he understood what they meant.

The smart AI module found in the yàn room of Nata Xia Shi is an upgrade module that can be loaded on any computer. Last night, the old cow and the Narcissus doctor loaded the module on the red comet's on-board computer. As a result, Red Comet's computer immediately gained intelligence and took over full control of the locomotive.

Subsequently, Red Comet's intelligent computer called itself Alice Nataxia.

After several hours of communication, Alice Natasha asked the old cow and the narcissus doctor to equip the red comet with dozens of devices such as vision sensors, iris scanners, and miniature robotic arms. However, Lao Niu did not have much equipment on hand and only partially loaded it. Then, Alice asked to access the international network to download the latest world information. However, Lao Niu does not have an international network here. In the entire town of Iron Mountain, only the Autonomous Council has an international network fiber from Silver City 13. If Alice wants to download materials, she has to go to the Guild.

After listening to the old cow and the narcissus doctor, the iron slag walked into the iron shed. At this time, the tin shed was full of all kinds of equipment and lines. These devices and wires are connected to the red comet in the middle.

Iron Slag walked towards the red comet, and as it approached, the red comet sounded a mechanical synthesized sound close to a female voice.

"Hello, I'm Iron Slag." Iron slag to.

Iron Slag frowned and thought about it, he couldn't remember any password.

Iron Slag scratched at his hair, he couldn't remember any password. You Ge didn't tell him that this smart module needed a password.

Listening to the hurried countdown, the iron slag scratched his scalp hard, and there was no way.

At this moment, Ye Xinling walked up from the side and whispered a set of numbers in the ear of the iron slag. Iron Slag listened to this set of numbers, and it felt somewhat familiar. Immediately afterward, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered that this set of numbers was the password that You Ge had entered when he opened Nataxia's room—Nataxia's birthday.

Thinking of this, Iron Slag immediately repeated this set of numbers loudly.

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical synthesis, the locomotive's front shoots several rays of red, blue, and green light, scanning back and forth on the body and eyes of the iron slag. The red light comes from the iris scanner, the blue light comes from the coordinate locator, and the green light comes from the 3D image generator.

After a few minutes......

"Please let her call you master." Ye Xinling built yì to.

Iron Slag rolled his eyes, "Alice, you can call me a friend. ”

At this time, the old cow, who had been squatting silently by the wall, couldn't help but sigh: "Moo...... High-tech ah......"
