Chapter 42： Ryan's little secret (2)

There was a pile of materials from Serra on the long table. Colonel William and Lieutenant Colonel Charles were arguing about a certain issue. The latter was not impatient. After listening to William for a while, he took out a pen and paper and started. Calculus, a brief conflict quickly dissipated. Charles has a tolerant personality, otherwise he would not have worked with Colonel William for many years.

A few people on the side listened to their argument and thought it was a good idea.

"Can I take a look at these?" Ryan did not approach the long table, he stood two meters away and looked at Auston questioningly.

Allston nodded and led him to the long table, "You may be able to offer some new ideas."

At this moment, the idea proposed by Colonel William was proved wrong after calculation and optical brain analysis, and everyone couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces. They have experienced disappointment many times, but they have never felt so uncomfortable and hated now. The general's mecha was equipped with a self-destruction device under their noses. They were too credulous, and they believed in their own abilities... This time The lesson is like a head-on blow, a blow to the head, and a wake-up call.

"Just let Ryan see. The young man has a flexible mind and may be able to think of a new direction of thinking." Colonel William suppressed his irritability and looked at Ryan, his capable general, hoping that the young man who had repeatedly surprised himself would be able to do it again. Surprise yourself one at a time.

Lane picked up the notebook closest to him, opened it, and recorded many of the problems Sera encountered at work and how to solve them. Sera's behavior is disgusting, but his professional ability is unquestionable. A master-level mecha repairer, his work experience is very precious. Ryan flipped a few pages and looked up and asked, "How to deal with these materials in the future?"

"Sera will come home empty-handed when he disembarks," said Colonel William, biting his pipe.

Ryan smiled without saying a word. Although he did everything he could, he was not afraid of deceit and Sera was unkind, so don't blame others for being unjust.

After reading some information about the self-destruction device researched by Colonel William and his team, this self-destruction device installed on the code-named zero nerve center has a total of 24 layers of passwords. The first layer password is simply two digits, and the second layer is four digits. Number, the third layer is eight digits, and so on, the number of digits in the password of the twenty-fourth layer is 16777216. It is a huge amount of work to enter the corresponding passwords on each of these boxes. way, otherwise it is difficult to deduce. And the codebook doesn't know, maybe it's numbers, maybe it's Chinese characters, maybe it's letters, maybe it's Roman characters... Maybe it's not words at all, but pictures.

Lane saw Colonel William and they tried to open the self-destruct device and crack it from the inside.

But Colonel William reluctantly said that this method is not feasible if the tools are not at hand.

"All the parts on the shell of the self-destruction device use one-third standard size. This is not the standard for general mechanical parts, and only used by some small workshops." Only some toy manufacturers want to ensure that their simple, low-end toys are not It will be disassembled, and then parts smaller than standard screws and nuts will be used, and the small and oddly shaped one-third standard size is their first choice. "The tools on the ship are for the standard, one-half standard, three-quarter standard, and even one-eighth standard for the use of medical-grade small mechs, but there is not one-third. Yes, all the fighters on the ship who have repaired mechanics and mechas have already inquired, and one-eighth of the gadgets is the private collection of a certain soldier."

There were times when the prairie lion was locked in a cage to fight beasts. William is now trapped in a small space and struggling, but he can't find a way to unlock the lock. The guilt that I hoped for but was powerless to do.

There is no way to crack the code, even if you can remove the shell of the self-destruction device, as long as you enter the inside of the self-destruction device, be careful and cautious, there is always a way to crack it from the inside.

However, Serra blocked the road, at least until Xing Tian returned to the base, there was no way to dismantle it. The current situation is changing too fast, if you don't take the initiative in your own hands, three months will be fatal.

Damn it, when Xing Tian ship set off on the last supply ship before returning to voyage, she didn't know that the ship needed tools for one third of the standard, otherwise it could be brought over.

In the vast universe, the distance is calculated in light years. It is impossible to tell the supply ship halfway through to turn around and get the tools and come back again. The hundreds of thousands of people on the ship will be hungry for a long time. Conducive to the stability of the military on the ship.

Ryan: "..." Under his calm exterior, his heart was full of indescribable words. He raised his head and looked at the codename Zero, who was squatting and kneeling, but what he thought was the original, who had already climbed up. During the production of the mecha, he gave the machine called Little Strawberry There are several sets of small tools on the shell of the armor, standard size, one-half standard size, one-third standard size, and so on. Why is there the last one? He considered that the child's toys might be available in the future. It needs to be modified, so after I found the only one-third standard tool in the warehouse, I installed it.

There are some bad premonitions, and I hope not to act rashly or act without authorization in the first place.

"Wait." Ryan interrupted Colonel William who wanted to continue to tell his helplessness. He nodded apologetically, quickly rushed to Code Zero, jumped up after a short run, and jumped to Code Zero's knee, where he jumped to his shoulder with the help of his strength. When he came to the back of the code-named zero, he took a few steps inside and the person standing on the ground couldn't see his figure.

The underground people either prefer to work in the civil service and have seldom exercised hard, or they know that they are not as brave as they were when they were young. Looking at Ryan's vigorous posture, they are more or less envious.

After turning around and exhorting a few words, Auston followed Ryan's footsteps and went to code zero.

Several of the people present knew the inside story. Knowing that the young couple had another relationship with generals and soldiers, they all showed tacit smiles.

Colonel William sighed, "It's better to be young."

"William, if you indulge your hair to prevent the evaporation of sweat, and throw your stinky sweat on us when you wave your arms, be careful we beat you."

William stroked his hairy arms and the water in one hand, "It's born like this, what can I do? Is it possible to do a hair removal surgery?"

"Why can't you, with so much hair, your wife doesn't tell you that you are stubborn!"

William snorted twice, fully showing the demeanor of a lion. As long as he didn't get stuck in the code cracking, his combat effectiveness would explode. If he started to chug, the group in front of him would be scum. Just as he was about to speak, he was handed a dry towel in front of him. Lieutenant Colonel Charles said without raising his head, "Although the quarrel at this time relieves everyone's tense emotions, it is also easy to interrupt the train of thought. What do you think, Colonel?"

William hummed twice again, took the towel, wiped his hands, and died.

"It's still Charles who has a way."

"Otherwise they wouldn't be able to work together for so many years, and I would be crazy if I were William's deputy for a day."

"...We seem to be his subordinates."

"..."

On the back of Code Zero, the space was relatively cramped. When Auston went up, he saw Ryan sitting cross-legged next to the "Heart of Machinery", with the small mecha beside him, and his movements were exactly the same. When he saw what the little mecha was doing, his face changed slightly, and he didn't make a sound.

The small mecha breastplate was opened, and two wires were pulled out. One was connected to the code-named zero nerve center, which was reading the information in the code-named zero system, and the other was connected to the self-destruction device, quickly calculating the removal method. The eyes of the little mecha flashed yellow light very quickly, proving that his system was operating extremely fast. While reading the information, he was analyzing and dismantling from the inside of the self-destruction device. The fingertips of the small right hand opened a small hole, Screwdrivers with "--", "=", twisted hexagonal shapes keep appearing, layer after layer into the core area of ​​the self-destructing device.

Auston stopped to one side and didn't say a word. Ryan, who was still focused on watching the dismantling process, moved to the side to make room for Auston to sit down. After Auston sat down, the inside of the palm-sized self-destruction device appeared in front of him. The metal wires in the black self-destruction device were criss-crossed. Serra expected that someone would dismantle it, so the wiring was messy and complicated, so it was suspicious. True and false constantly, dismantling the wrong piece of metal plate and cutting the wrong wire may activate the self-destruction device.

Often, the moment people turn on the self-destruct device, they stop there.

But the original is not a human being. He is a meticulous AI without so many concerns and ideas. He will never stop when he says it is going to be demolished, and he starts directly.

"I'll tell you a little secret now, the gift from the Empire began to remove the second layer of wrapping paper." Ryan grabbed Auston's hand with a little nervousness, and he took the initiative to say, "This gift is a bit special, The real appearance of the inner core may not be what you want. It is not so beautiful and precious. Maybe it has a dark and heavy past. Are you willing to continue to explore? By the way, gift receipt You can't return it once you get it, Auston, now I'll give you two choices, do you choose to continue to dismantle it, or stop there?" Stop now, that's Ryan or Ryan.

Auston took a deep look at Ryan. This young and gentle man kept surprising him since the first meeting. He was able to be shy and shy because of kissing, and he could make all kinds of delicious dishes. A small unfamiliar planet can search for a lot of food that can be eaten; his introverted and shy personality will never affect his ability to judge, he is decisive and ruthless, and he is not sloppy when it comes to things; , The strong side is hidden under the low-key and calm... Not wanting to lose the truth after retreating, Auston chose to continue, and he loved all kinds of Ryan.

"About Yuanchu?" Auston looked at the little mecha with a small strawberry pattern on his shoulders and guessed: "His arrival is very extraordinary? Yuanchu, do these two words have any special meaning? I remember 'Yuanchu' 'It once appeared in a document that was born seven hundred years ago. It was the diary of the betrayer Tyrell, which recorded in detail the process of his psychological changes to assassinate Emperor Qin Feng Anderson. Why is the little strawberry called Yuanchu?"

This book is one of the important documents for the study of Emperor Qin Feng. In the book, the two words "Original" appear three times.

"The original is a very old artificial intelligence. He doesn't like changing his name. As for whether he has anything to do with the old man 700 years ago, it is a gift to be opened in the future. The program written by the manufacturer is self-growing. There is no suppression of the development of artificial intelligence, so he likes to learn at first, he can improve himself through learning, and the system is full of wisdom, which is better than many AIs with suppression programs installed today." Ryan's smile remained unchanged, and he said I discovered the original process by myself, "When you go home, you will know that the planting star in my house is quite large, and the ocean accounts for 60% of the surface area of ​​the planting star. The land part has forests, lakes, mountains and snowfields. I ran with my parents who planted stars, raised alpine cattle on the grassland at an altitude of 4,000 meters, planted sand radishes in the coastal areas, picked stone ears on the cliffs, and collected wild honey in the deep mountains and old forests…”

Before entering the topic, he first talked about his own farm, which is just the most common job on planting stars. After Lane's description, it is full of fun and yearning for life.

He continued: "I remember when I was three and a half years old, I followed my parents into the woods to pick mushrooms. I walked into a small cave and found a small box in it. After using some means to open the box, it was the original. Said to have the original hard drive. He lay quietly in the box and waited a long, long time before he was found to start again."

"The way to start is to put it into a non-waterproof babysitter robot." Yuan Chu had been listening by the side, spit out in a cold voice with no ups and downs.

"That was the only humanoid machine I had access to when I was three years old." It was the best machine little Ryan could find.

Yuan Chu said: "So I enjoy doing housework and milking the milk under your mother's instructions. Unfortunately, the machine is not waterproof. After my husband accidentally knocked over the milk bucket, the machine was reimbursed."

Ryan raised his voice a little in embarrassment: "Original!" Not allowed to say his embarrassing thing in front of Auston.

Yuan Chu turned his head and focused on his work.

Auston closed his eyes and pondered deeply. He enjoyed this kind of behavior of scolding each other and exposing faults. He felt at home, "I really want to know what happened to Ryan when he was a child."

"When I get home, my mother can talk for days and nights until you don't want to listen."

"I'll be willing to listen." That way I felt closer to Ryan.

Ryan grabbed Auston's hand, brought it to his mouth and kissed his fingertips. He likes to do these little intimate physical contacts recently, "Jiangsu is not an ordinary artificial intelligence, he has a deep past, he can Good help, although he doesn't want to be called Little Strawberry."

"My body and my brain are two separate entities," Yuan Chu insisted.

Ryan gave Auston a look of grievance, "Look, the things I make don't listen to me", "I installed it on the little mecha..." He introduced the weapons he had equipped, and then said: " Yuan Chu knows how to use them well, but he has weapons and equipment, but there is no suitable ammunition, and you need to solve it. Yuan Chu is by your side, I can't protect you all the time, but he can. "

Lane's introduction made Auston's eyes shine. If such small mechas can be mass-produced and assembled into melee troops and used in actual combat, the overall force of the army will be improved, and the defense power will also be greatly enhanced. More soldiers died because of it. "I'll deal with the ammunition. You have arranged an army with both offense and defense by my side. Can the same small mecha be mass-produced?"

The small mecha army launched by the Mecha Research Institute is not unwilling to configure, one is too expensive, and the other is that the research institute can give too little, so the plan of equipping the mecha department with small mechas has always stayed on paper, and it has never been formed. Otherwise, Serra wouldn't have so many people tempted by a small mecha. If the small mecha made by Ryan can be mass-produced, with its advantages of easy production and low cost, it will definitely be popularized to everyone in melee combat.

Ryan said: "I will give you the drawings, and mass production should be possible, but most of the parts I use are off-the-shelf parts. If they are made new, the manufacturing time will be several times longer. Also, after all, the original was not carried out in actual combat. After testing, I can't assert that his role must be very strong. And what I consider is to protect you, improve his individual combat ability, and need to improve if he kills in groups."

Auston leaned over and kissed Ryan on the lips. Excited, he didn't realize what he had done in front of the crowd. He said quickly, "Lion, you don't know, mechas are expensive and rare. The main reason is that the Mecha Research Institute does not release the drawings, and the private sector cannot explore and make them, and all Mechas must come from companies under their name, whether for military or civilian use."

Among them, the Bromfield family occupies a large share in these enterprises. The Bromfield family, who has been studying mechas for hundreds of years, has a lot of research materials on mechas by Anderson the Great, monopolizing this industry, and it is almost impossible to pry.

Good designers either work in these companies or come from the Bromfield family. The army with a large number of mecha repairers cannot make mechas without permission. After all, it is easy to stick to it and difficult to innovate.

Otherwise, there are too many ordinary designers to design a drawing, and it will not be reused by the enterprise immediately. In this industry, there is a saying that "inspiration flashes, design drawings, white, rich, beautiful, rich and handsome, and success is easy."

"I know," Lane said.

Auston was annoyed, "I ignored your profession, sorry."

Ryan chuckled and said, "No need to apologize for this. If you can, make it up to me with a kiss."

A piece of garbled code flowed through the original system, despising the owner's face.

Observing left and right, they were sitting at high speed, no one's eyes could see it, Auston's eyes flashed shyly, and he kissed Ryan on the side of the face very quickly, like a dragonfly. Auston lowered his head to prevent Ryan from seeing his expression at the moment, and his tone was a little unstable: "The Bromfield family realized that this move was wrong, put down their posture and asked for a settlement with me, and they offered to tear it down. Self-destruct devices, I didn't agree, I threatened them in return."

"Nice job." Ryan asked, "If you tear it down, does it ruin your plan?"

"It's okay, as long as the self-destruction device is in my hands, I can use it," Auston said.

Ryan nodded silently: "The Bromfield family has received too many flowers and applause. It has grown to the point where they dare to do anything. They have developed minds, but their decision-making and analysis ability is low. Today's people are not as good as their predecessors."

The coldness hidden under Wen Runping's gaze slowly emerged. He stared at the self-destruction device on the code-named zero nerve center, and installed the self-destruction device on the code-named zero through Sera's hand, thinking that by doing so, he could threaten an imperial general. Are they all stuffed with money in their heads?

The stupidity of the opponents feels that they have lowered their IQ. No, Ryan shook his head, they weren't stupid, they were too smart, too opinionated, too important to themselves.

Through counter-threat, in this year's parliamentary election, the Dalton family won 50 more seats. There is a 75% probability that the former speaker of the parliament is someone supported by the Dalton family, and those who have been stuck with the army's military spending The problem will be solved.

"Remove the self-destruction device..." Ryan would not hesitate, since it has become an established fact, there is no reason to regret it, "This news has to be concealed from the outside world, the stupid Bromfield family will throw stones at their own feet, we will help He smashed it a few more times to let them know that if they put one hand in the army, they would chop one, and if they put two, they would chop a pair."

"Okay!" With a slight click, the problems that annoyed the big guys on the ship were solved by Yuan Chu, who also used his mechanical brain to conduct a careful analysis and perfect the master's plan, "I will Restoring the self-destructing device so that the original designer still feels like his device is working."

"Then I'll trouble you." Auston looked at the little mecha like a wise man who had lived for seven or eight hundred years, with a little respect in his equal attitude. From Ryan's narrative, he saw an ordinary Children get artificial intelligence hundreds of years ago, learn and grow with the help of AI, Ryan must inherit the will of Anderson the Great or his followers!

Lane's experience was too different. Aston tried to calm himself down. He asked, "Did you have any needs in the first place? As a reward for dismantling the self-destruction device, I can satisfy it as long as it is not excessive."

With the master's serious eyes, Yuan Chu calmly put forward his own request, "I hope to get the opportunity to learn, I don't want to waste time, I hope I can connect to the network on the ship to learn."

"Okay, I will provide you with a legal identity so that you can freely enter the star network without being noticed by the network police."

Yuan Chu was very happy, his yellow eyes flickered, he sat cross-legged and gave a standard gentleman's salute, "General, you are such a generous and good person, I will follow your instructions in the future, you can still call me Little strawberries."

Ryan: "..." Hey, hey, what about your integrity!

Auston, who was given a reputation for generosity, was pleased to see the cracks appear in Lane's calm expression, which was funny. Start the program and let Code Zero close the back armor. The two of them and a small mecha fell to the ground. Code Zero adjusted his posture. When he stood up, his two huge eyes flickered, and he actually sat down cross-legged and supported his chin. He looked down at the crowd lightly.

The scene was quiet.

Auston looked at Ryan. The two eyes met in the air and then moved to Yuan Chu. Yuan Chu said, "I just made some minor adjustments. It seems that this big man has learned well."

Ryan helped his forehead helplessly, but Auston was a little pleased with the change in code zero, looking forward to future development.

When they landed, they had already received the attention of several bigwigs. Several people exchanged glances and asked William to ask, "General?" Unbelievably excited, excited and a little suspicious, Colonel William just used a title to call himself Complicated feelings were expressed - the general actually brought down the self-destruction device! ! !

Auston nodded, smiled and said, "It's taken down, and it's still working, it won't ruin the plan."

William took a sigh of relief, glanced at the small mecha that Ryan brought, and asked aggrievedly, "Did Ryan take it down?" Alas, these old people are really going to be slapped to death on the beach by the back waves.

Ryan said embarrassedly: "I happened to get a set of one-third standard tools, which I put in a small mech, and I'm using it now." He and Auston reached a consensus and concealed the original speciality. A secret weapon always has the appearance of a secret weapon. In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a big toy.

Ryan was really surprised... William sighed.

William asked, "What's the name of the little mecha?"

Ryan: "Little strawberry."

Auston: "Original."

William: "..."

Lane: "Original."

Auston: "Little strawberries."

William: "..."

Originally, his eyes sparkled innocently.

Lane looked at Auston, and Auston said, "Original."

"Little Strawberry is also fine." Yuan Chu didn't care about the name, he asked, "Where is the network port, I want to learn it now."

"Okay, I'll give you the ID number."

Colonel William's eyes moved slightly. There must be something special about the little mecha. If the general didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
