Chapter 9: The Difference Between Teleportation and Murder

Liu Jianming felt that his whole body was sore.

Of course, this is not because Liu Jianming has done a lot of strenuous exercise or a lot of heavy labor, but because he is too lacking in exercise.

Of course, Liu Jianming has to carry this pot by himself, because it is completely his own choice to be so tired. As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats.

It all started with a blueprint, a blueprint from his assistive robot operating system file. When Liu Jianming learned of the existence of this blueprint, he couldn't wait to see what the finished product would look like. But just as Liu Jianming was waiting to see the finished product roll out of the printer, Tie Dan's words made his whole body ache for a long time.

"There are no channels for transporting raw materials in the base right now, sir, I think you'll have to move the materials yourself."

"Wait, myself, by hand?"

"Do you think the material can still run into the printer on its own legs?"

So, after more than half an hour of hard work, Liu Jianming finally threw enough production materials into the floodgates of the printer. The printer began to rumble, and Liu Jianming lay directly on the ground in large characters, panting and not moving.

About 10 minutes later, the printer's airlock door opened, and there was a dull sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Who designed this thing, dare to be lazy anymore! Isn't it just an iron box with two rows of wheels and four mechanical arms, which is not cool at all! Are designers extreme minimalism?!

"Allow me to introduce you to this machine." Tie Dan didn't feel anything wrong at all, and operated the machine to make various movements. "This is the Porter Type 3 robot, which is literally a professional handling robot."

"This... Can it be used? Liu Jianming pointed to the iron box with wheels, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"It's excellent design, Mr. Administrator." Tie Dan circled around the handling robot and flew back to Liu Jianming.

"According to the design goals provided on the blueprint, the robot can accelerate to a maximum of 60 km/h, and it can start and brake very quickly"

The handling robot aimed the "front of the car" at the material warehouse, and ran into the depths of the warehouse with a single breath.

"And through the operation of the robotic arm, a large amount of materials can be placed on the body of the robot."

The handling robot came back with a lot of printing materials piled up.

"In addition, the machine not only has a zero radius of rotation, but also increases the robot's pickup range in the future with a retractable column hidden in the body."

The handling robot turned around in place a few times, and then the metal box suddenly split into two, and several metal columns appeared in the middle, pushing the upper body to a height of four or five meters at once.

And with the synergy of multiple robots, they can reach almost any corner of the entire production floor. Not only for handling, but also for the construction of workshops and the production of large items, this kind of robot can play a great role. ”

After the iron egg finished speaking, the handling robot walked to the side of the printer and directly threw all the things piled on the body into the printer with the mechanical arm.

"Now we can make a second handling robot." Tie Dan flew close to the printer and looked at it, and returned to Liu Jianming, "Now you don't have to manually carry anything in this base, the handling robot can complete all this, and it is more efficient than you." ”

"That's pretty good." Liu Jianming looked at the handling robot and said angrily. "There's nothing else I need to take care of here."

"Not yet, Mr. Administrator, thank you for your help." Tie Dan paused at this time, "I suggest you leave here quickly, I haven't found any food in this base, it should be said that even if there is food, it should be expired by now." I don't recommend this as a base until you have a stable supply channel. ”

"Ouch, I'll go!" Liu Jianming suddenly slapped his head. "I've forgotten about this stubble when I've seen it so much here! Anyway, how am I going to get out, I don't even have a door, hey! ”

"Please be uneasy, sir, since I have made this proposal, there must be a way to implement it." The iron egg floated towards a wall, and after a few steps, he looked back at Liu Jianming, "Please follow me, sir." ”

Liu Jianming had to follow Tie Dan, and when they came to a wall, a door the size of a person opened on the wall. Liu Jianming looked inside and found that it was a very small room, and a metal box the size of a vending machine but taller than a person took up most of the space. Liu Jianming looked at the big iron box, and the first sentence that came out of his mouth was:

"Is this a new type of coffin?"

"This is a teleporter, Mr. Administrator." A one-man high door opened on the iron box, and the inside was empty, "As you can see, it can be teleported to another location by yourself, and of course, you can also carry things with you, as long as you can fit into the machine." ”

"Teleporter?!" Liu Jianming exclaimed in surprise, "I'm going to be black technology again!" By the way, where can this thing be teleported? ”

"Unfortunately I don't know, Mr. Administrator." Tie Dan lowered his body, "This kind of teleporter can only teleport point-to-point with other teleporters, and the computer only finds a teleporter signal, and the distance between the two sides is completely unknown. ”

"Only one teleporter signal? And you still don't know the distance? Not to mention how that signal came from, why are both sides connected to each other, but there is still no way to know the location of both sides? “

"It's a matter of programming the teleporter's calculations." The light in Tie Dan's eyes suddenly began to change brightly and darkly, as if he was calculating something, "The positioning of the teleporter is a special set of coordinate systems, I don't know what unit this coordinate system is based on, I can only know the numerical results of the calculation." For example, if the distance between point A and point B is calculated to be 500, I don't think you can tell the exact distance between them, maybe they are on opposite sides of a wall, maybe they are tens of light-years apart. The only thing I can tell you is that you'll be teleported inside another teleporter, and that's it. ”

"Since you don't know, I can't blame you." Liu Jianming shrugged, "So what can you know about the portal on the other side?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything." Tie Dan lowered his body again, "Now I am in the state of an amnesiac person, my memory has nothing but system files, I'm sorry, I don't know more about the current situation than you do. ”

"However," Tie Dan raised his body at this time and stared at Liu Jianming, "I think it's worth a try, because if there is no problem with the event recording of the main control computer, the signal of that teleporter will only appear after you are resurrected here." ”

"Then there are two possible explanations for this."

"Fortunately, your partner discovered your abnormality and guessed that you might be resurrected here, so he turned on the teleporter that hadn't been activated for a long time and let you pass."

"The worst thing is that your enemies find out about you and use the same tricks to lure you over, intending to capture you."

"Of course, it's also possible that some passerby doesn't know how to make a teleporter with the same system, but this probability is too low to be considered."

"Either way, I think it's better than starving here, isn't it?"

Liu Jianming wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say. yes, it's not a death to stay here, so why not take the risk? Even if something really goes wrong, the most it will be here to resurrect. Thinking of this, Liu Jianming walked straight to the door of the teleporter, and just as he was about to go in, he suddenly thought of something that had puzzled him before.

"One thing suddenly occurred to me." Liu Jianming turned his head, "The principle of this teleporter, shouldn't it be to remotely clone a me, and then kill the local me." That's how a science fiction novel I've read before is written. ”

"It's not worth it at all, Mr. Administrator." The iron egg dangled in front of Liu Jianming, "Cloning a human body has very high requirements for operating instruments, and it requires materials to be prepared in advance, and the speed is very slow. Remember the previous cloning you took, when the cloning took half an hour, and it took you half an hour to wake up, and it only takes 10 seconds to teleport once. You don't have to worry about that happening. ”

"That's good." Liu Jianming breathed a long sigh of relief, "I don't want to be murdered for no reason." ”

Liu Jianming walked into the teleporter and said hello to Tie Dan one last time before leaving.

"Then I'll say goodbye first. Iron egg, it doesn't matter if you're the only one here. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Administrator, I can take care of myself. Well, Mr. Administrator, have a great trip. ”

The door of the teleporter closed, and Liu Jianming saw a bright light appear in front of his eyes.
