There is nothing bizarre about Xiao Chu's origin, just as the vicious-eyed inspector Lei Xiongwu said, she is a member of the limited edition of Coca Company's new GT-60 mechanical maid eleven years ago, and it has been rolled off the production line of the Capital Star Circle C1 Baiyangxing Coca Branch, in addition to her, there are nearly 20,000 similar bodies.

Shi Chen's parents ordered it before his sixth birthday, but before they could activate the chip, they returned to the exploration ship on the point of no return early due to a phone call.

The reason why she is different may be because of the chip, at the age of curiosity, Shi Chen saw that the chip inside was similar to the ornament around his neck, so he replaced it, and the result was that without entering the activation code, the body was able to act autonomously.

At that time, Shi Chen was very excited, this was his first and most meaningful gift, so he named Xiaochu and his surname was Shi, which is the origin of Shi Xiaochu.

But unlike the machines next door, Xiao Chu seems to be a little too stupid, she doesn't know anything, just like a newborn baby. But she was a little too smart, and at first, no matter what Shi Chen did, she could imitate it perfectly.

Until Shi Chen found out one day that his maid was secretly connected to the optical fiber network, the two electronic eyes suddenly bloomed with countless brilliance.

At that time, he didn't know that it was because of the huge data exchange that was reflected in the electronic eye, and he thought that his mechanical maid had become a sperm.

But what made him a little disappointed was that as he grew up, the surprise brought by Xiao Chu ended here, except that the tube was a little wide, and he liked to measure probability theory, which was no different from other autonomous household robots, and even sometimes he would suddenly crash and fall into a long sleep, as if the processor was aging.

This may be the hour, maybe it's not good, he didn't grow up at the time, he pretended to sigh like this.

It wasn't until this moment that Shi Chen knew that he had finally begun to touch the secret of that chip, and he knew the origin of his maid's difference.

But he still didn't know the origin of the chip, because after he had a memory, the chip had been with him until he replaced it in Xiao Chu's body, and he didn't get a first glimpse of the secret.

However, in front of him, there seemed to be an opportunity for him to unlock this secret.

It took Shi Chen three seconds to suppress his boiling mood, swallowed with some difficulty, and asked Xiao Chu, who seemed to have changed a little, "Are you still the original Xiao Chu?" ”

Xiao Chu still sat there paralyzed, without the slightest reaction, until a full half minute later, her voice sounded in her head again: "Master, according to the data self-check, the previous data has not been lost, so I am still Xiao Chu, but there seems to be something more in my source program." ”

"Oh? What's more? Shi Chen's heart moved and asked.

"I don't know what to do."

"Then why did you call yourself an adjutant before?"

"I don't know what to do."

"How could you not know the way? Is there a mechanical maid as stupid as you? Shi Chen was suddenly annoyed!

I don't know if it was Shi Chen's illusion, Xiao Chu's voice seemed to be lower: "According to the cloud program report, the energy is insufficient, the core database cannot be opened, and the combat system cannot be opened, please replenish energy." ”

"Recharge?" Gu Qian rubbed his eyebrows, and then denied: "If it is enough to charge, then you should have mutated a long time ago." ”

"Master, according to the research and development of artificial intelligence, this belongs to the system upgrade after the source program is unlocked, and it does not belong to the mutation, I belong to the machine, the machine can only be the upgrade of the source program, and only organisms will mutate in the case of genetic structure change"

"Enough! You don't need to be popularized! ”

"According to the program self-test, the source program unlocking this time is because the excess current influxes into the body, resulting in overload of charge, resulting in the damage of the nuclear battery and energy overflow, and the excess charge temporarily meets the energy required for the source program unlocking."

"You mean that you have to be overloaded with more than a certain amount of charge to meet your energy needs?"

"Yes, master, but I need to be warned, an overcharge can cause great damage to the body, from the dissolution of the central processing unit to the explosion of the nuclear battery. And now, with the internal electronic system of my body paralyzed by 87.4%, I am afraid that I will fall into a deep sleep if I experience a similar charge overload. ”

Shi Chen's head suddenly overflowed with cold sweat, he was just going to take Xiao Chu to the second power plant on the street to replenish energy.

Only then did I think that Xiao Chu's state at the moment was close to being scrapped, although the parts in it could be replaced with cheaper parts to maintain the most basic functions, I am afraid that 10,000 federal coins were indispensable, and his current net worth was only more than 10,000, which was really a headache.

Seeing Shi Chen's solemn face, Xiao Chu continued: "It's not just electricity that is energy, and I need to remind you that electric energy is only a primary energy source with high consumption and low energy. ”

"What kind of energy do you need?" Shi Chen asked straight to the point.

"According to the preliminary calculation results, the ghost energy crystal can meet the energy demand, and it is estimated that I only need three catties of ghost energy crystals to fully open the core database." Xiao Chu lightly spit out a word.

Three catties of ghost crystals

Shi Chen, who had just come to be refreshed, suddenly wilted like a deflated balloon.

He is not unheard, it is precisely the name of the ghost crystal, and the entire federation is probably known to everyone.

The curvature navigation technique that has contributed to mankind's official entry from the era of earth countries to the era of galactic colonization is the ghost energy crystal.

Spectral crystals can only be born in harsh star fields with extreme gravity and gravity, they are all conceived since the Big Bang era, and every spectral crystal mine is a treasure for mankind.

Its current market price is 10 million 1 grams, but it is often difficult for this kind of military material strictly controlled by the government to enter the market, and even the very few ghost crystal mines that appear on the black market are often coaxed to at least 40 million grams.

How much is Xiao Chu opening his mouth at this time?

Three catties, 1,500 grams, 60 billion federal coins!

Shi Chen has been saving money for eleven years, and he has only just made his way into 10,000 federal coins, and he has to die if he wants to buy a bottle of gene activator and first-order standard gene components.

Even if you sell him for ten lifetimes, you can't get a gram!

"Can you make this joke a little colder?" Shi Chen wiped away the saliva that accidentally overflowed from the corners of his mouth with his cuffs, and looked at her resentfully.

"Master, artificial intelligence is no joke." Xiao Chu explained seriously, so the atmosphere was a little colder.

After being silent for a long time, Shi Chen sighed and said, "Let's not talk about that disappointing thing, anyway, even if there is no ghost energy crystal, as long as the electronic system, central processing unit and damaged parts are replaced, you can still work normally, no, it is really not worth it to directly make people desperate and collapse for the sake of a secret." ”

"Well, that's right, master." Xiao Chu obediently agreed.

"The external memory shouldn't be broken, right? Where was the video recorded? I'd like to see who dares to touch my maids!" Shi Chen looked at her smoky body, and the anger that had been forgotten by the shock gradually brewed again, and he touched Shi Xiaochu's chest and abdomen as he spoke.

Xiao Chu was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Master, I can directly transfer the information to you." ”

"Huh?" Shi Chen was puzzled, and suddenly found that faces mixed with excitement and desire appeared on his retina.

Shi Chen was stunned for a long time before accepting the fact that Xiao Chu could directly conduct information on his retinal nerves.

I can save money on buying the latest version of my personal terminal.

He stared at a stout man holding a stun baton and muttered, "Is that you?" Sooner or later, I'm going to have to make you pay the price you deserve. ”

"Master, according to the preliminary contact calculations, this person's health is about 1.3 to 1.6, and there are no genetic building blocks loaded, if you face him head-on, the victory rate is less than 11%."

Shi Chen's forehead jumped, pointed to his temples, and said angrily: "Who said that I want to fight him head-on?" I'm a human being, not you metal lumps who only know how to do it, rely on this! Got it? ”

"But according to my analysis of your cerebral cortex neuroreflexes, your intelligence is 1.14, and your level is only in the upper midstream, and in your human language, any non-elite is just a mediocre"

The muscle groups on Shi Chen's cheeks twitched uncontrollably for a moment, squinting at Xiao Chu's body, and asked, "You can actually directly and accurately analyze the internal condition of my body?" ”

"Yes, it seems to be a new function after the source program is unlocked, any microscopic changes in your body can be clearly observed, and local intervention at the molecular level can be carried out if needed, master, your heart is beating 21% faster than before, cerebral cortex discharge rate"

"If you want to go on like this, you can choose to continue." Shi Chen interrupted her analysis in a low voice.

Xiao Chu lowered his head in interest and kept silent.

"Wait, molecular intervention?" Shi Chen frowned, and suddenly his heart moved, thinking of what Xiao Chu said before, a possibility appeared that made his heart beat wildly again, and ordered: "Xiao Chu, can you analyze and intervene in my gene chain?" ”

"Yes master, but in the absence of processor assistance and other materials, only preliminary analysis and intervention can be carried out, does it need to be done now?"

"Do it now!" Shi Chen really didn't expect to get such an answer that far exceeded his psychological expectations, and he was a little excited for a while!

"Wait, a strand scan is in progress"

As far as Shi Chen knows, the current process of genetic engineering in the Federation is only based on the loading of external components on the gene chain, and the chain position is extremely easy to get out of control.

Gene correction is still in preliminary clinical practice, and the scientific research results that have been put into the market with the lowest risk are only the elimination of genes for genetic diseases.

I have to say that the birth of this scientific achievement has also intensified the strange phenomenon of consanguineous marriage in the federation in disguise, after all, the combination of similar genes is a shortcut to the birth of geniuses. In some wealthy aristocrats, inbreeding has even become an unspoken rule.

If what Xiao Chu said is true, even if she can't directly correct the gene chain itself, she can also give great help in loading the gene building blocks by herself, reducing the risk of gene chain disintegration when the gene is activated.

After a long wait in Shi Chen's opinion, Xiao Chu finally reacted: "Warning, according to the preliminary analysis, your gene chain fit rate is 2.13%, which is 47% lower than the normal value. ”

"Yes." Shi Chen raised his eyebrows, but agreed first.

"Optimization is starting"

"The gene chain has been optimized, and the chain is being recreated, and it is expected to be completed in 4323 hours, and the health will be increased to 1.3 after this optimization, and the gene fit rate will be increased to 2.26%."

As Xiao Chu's voice sounded, Shi Chen's body suddenly burned, and he even seemed to be able to hear his internal organs squirming, as if a force slowly seeped out from the depths, penetrating into the bone marrow, into the flesh and blood, and into the limbs.

Even the head has a cool feeling flowing, as if the dull brain has been sobered up a lot.

This is a very magical experience, Xu is this surprise far exceeded his original estimate, so that Shi Chen even felt a little unreal, in three months, he was able to increase the stagnant health by 0.5 value points, I am afraid that even the loading of first-order genetic components is not so fast.

But after his initial excitement, he wondered endlessly: "Why is my genetic compatibility rate so low?" ”
