Looking at those busy robots and traction beams on the console, Hao Ren asked the analysis host of the laboratory, “How long will it take to repair her?”
“It is expected to take 48 hours,” the analysis host quickly replied. “The damage is so severe that some logic circuits cannot be reverse-engineered, and the default plan is to replace them with a universal module. There’s a lot of testing and virtual booting to do because there’s no way to determine how the AI would fit into a common module.”
48 hours… It only took a week for the Petrachelys to be repaired to the point where it could be re-launched, but it took two days and nights to repair a robot adjutant robot from an indigenous civilization. Hao Ren was a little disappointed, but he could understand it.
He himself brought back the wreck, so he knew the state of the robot adjutant. They could not say they were ‘repairing’ the robot. They were actually recreating the robot, or to be exact, they were recreating a product under a whole new technology system. The analysis host could make up this process forcibly with its powerful research and calculation ability, but it was completely impossible to skip the massive virtual tests that needed to be carried out.
Nolan had a blueprint for self-recovery, but no one had a blueprint for this robot.
“It’s not enough just to fix the hardware,” Vivian said, “The most important thing is her memory… Can you extract the memory bank first? We’ll know what’s in her head even if we can’t fix the logic circuits.”
“The AI module used by this robot is special. The memory bank and logic circuit cannot be separated, while the logic circuit is rooted in the motherboard. This structure makes it necessary to use its original logic circuit to read the memory accurately and correctly. In other words, only its initial logic circuit can understand the files in its memory bank- so it is recommended to read the memory after completing the basic maintenance work.”
Moments later, the analysis host added, “you may try to break the memory, but there is a 50 percent chance that the data will be compromised.”
“Well, then just wait for two more days,” Hao Ren said, waving his hand, “sure you can fix it?”
“It can be restored to 70 percent. After it wakes up, it can be completely repaired with its active cooperation.”
This time, the analysis host gave a relatively satisfactory answer.
“Do you think the robot adjutant will cooperate with us when she wakes up?” Nangong Sanba asked. “In my impression, AI is quite rigid. What if she’s programmed with some sort of recognition module that automatically switches to the berserk mode when she meets a stranger?”
“Watch your mouth, I’m a super advanced and flexible AI assistant! I’m not rigid at all!” yelled the data terminal.
Hao Ren pushed the data terminal aside and said, “It’s okay if the robot doesn’t cooperate. After repairing the motherboard and logic circuit, Nolan can directly get involved in her thinking part. If she doesn’t want to cooperate, we’ll just take her hard drive and the card reader and plug it into Nolan, and we’ll still be able to read it…”
It would take a while for the robot to be repaired. Hao Ren did not understand the specific process, so he handed it over to the laboratory host, and he himself returned to the crew rest area.
The crew cabin was the best-preserved part of the spaceship. Because it was deep inside the ship, there was little physical impact during the attack or fall. Despite losing gravity and power for a while, it was fully functional after Nolan reconfigured the power flow. In the center of the residential area, there was a small bar with complete functions, spacious space, and all kinds of drinks created by synthetic mechanism were available at any time, and therefore, this was the favorite place for them to come when the spaceship was on a long voyage mission. Now everyone had no task, and outside the spaceship was a strange and dangerous planet, no one was interested in going out for a night outing, so everyone came here, chitchatting and playing cards to kill time.
Hao Ren felt that a bar should have a bartender, so he specially arranged a task for this autonomous bot, pretending to be a bartender, but no one liked cocktails or anything like that except Nangong Sanba.
Hao Ren saw Rollie coming up as he sat down in front of the bar. The cat girl climbed up onto a high stool and beckoned to the bartender, “I want a vodka!”
“Give her a cup of warm water, no sugar,” Hao Ren corrected.
“And Sliced Fish in Hot Chili Oil!”
“Give her a bowl of cat food — and a small dried fish. The one with less salt.”
The bartender quickly prepared the cat girl’s food, and she held the bowl with a happy look on her face. “Thank you.”
The cat did not really know what food she ordered, it’s all learned from TV and other people’s conversations, so every time she asked the bartender for food, Hao Ren had to correct it, or the food would kill her sooner or later. Not all food could be given to cats, and what’s worse was that she wanted to try everything. Last time she even wanted onion rings and garlic…
Hao Ren ordered a glass of ice cold coke to cool his slightly overworked brain, so as to think carefully about the mysterious planet. Lily was sitting nearby with a glass of coke, playing cards.
