[Transformers] Once upon a time there was a machine

"Has anyone seen the specimen I put on the table?"

A university professor is rummaging through his belongings, trying to find the fresh sample he just brought back from some corner.

"Sorry, Professor, I just saw Professor Perceptron take that bottle of weird stuff off your desk."

The professor in the white armor couldn't help turning his head: "What a strange thing, it's a plant, a type of organic life! According to the investigation, it should be a part of the reproductive organ. Do you know the reproductive organ? The organic life The combination method is very special, two sets of chromosomes from different basal bodies need to be combined to form the next generation. The organs used to achieve this purpose..."

The TF who couldn't help being talkative couldn't help but had a headache: "Okay, okay, Professor Megatron, don't give me a lecture, don't you think it's more important to get back your lost property?"

Megatron suddenly realized that yes, if he moved slowly, Professor Perceptron would probably slice up the precious living sample he had so hard to obtain!So the professor immediately rushed to find Perceptron, the leader of another research project.

Perceptron is a gentle-looking doctor who always has a smile on his face.But almost everyone is afraid of Perceptron, because you don't know what's hidden under his smiling face.It is said that when Perceptron was still a student, his tutor was jealous of his knowledge and intentionally lost the research report of Perceptron, and did not plan to let him graduate.later?Afterwards, no one saw the mentor again, and the police came to investigate and found nothing.The other professors were too terrified to pick up the troublesome student, and only Megatron took it upon himself to do so.

In fact, when Megatron found that Perceptron's attainments in the field of research far surpassed his own, he decisively wrote a letter of recommendation, so Perceptron became a professor to take over his original supervisor's position.Although there are still many bad rumors about this problematic character, for example, he has such a good relationship with the bottom gangsters that he 'lends' them superchargers (electronic drugs), for example, he knows the man in the ambulance who was killed because of organ trafficking and private transformation. The notorious ex-med student who was half a black market doctor by now.But Megatron knew that Perceptron has a keen sense of scientific research, a calm and meticulous mind, and a self-justified view of right and wrong.In fact, Megatron had given up on probing his student's motives altogether, ever since he knew that a large percentage of the superchargers that Perceptron sold to the lower classes were actually used in black-market doctors' clinics.He believed in perceptrons, although he also felt that there were factors that favored his students.

But sometimes, well, most of the time... the style of perceptron is quite scary and extreme for ordinary TF.For example, he recently heard that the perceptron has added an analytical instrument to his taste sensor, and now the perceptron can analyze the compositional details and even the molecular level of all the substances he eats.However, for normal TFs, TFs that use 'eating' to analyze substances are still quite scary... Some students are already guessing whether there is TF on the menu of the sensor.

What Megatron is worried about is that Professor Perceptron has already eaten organic matter in his stomach at this time, which is not acceptable, organic matter has a corrosive effect on TF's metal.Although the amount is small or not obvious, bacteria and residues will still remain inside the body and slowly corrode TF.

So the caring nanny Wei found Professor Gan, and said righteously that the specimen was his own, please return it quickly, and don't eat it.

"I just gave it away."

Perceptron couldn't help laughing, even Megatron thought it was funny that he ate everything, but his diet had always been one-dimensional, really.

"Give it away? What does he want this for, decoration? Research?"

Megatron was puzzled, and expected the perceptron to tell him what other special uses this organic creature could have.

"flower."

"……what?"

"That plant is a flower."

The sensor clicks on one's wrist, and a holographic image is displayed, which is a three-dimensional map of flowers, and the narration is accompanied by descriptions and explanations in Cybertron text.

"Carbon-based civilizations in distant galaxies often use it to give friends as gifts."

Megatron was a little surprised, he just realized that this thing is a flower, from which literature did he read about the perception sensor like giving a gift?He wants to go back and study it carefully.

"No, professor, not seeing it. Someone told me that I want to find such a thing. It is called a flower, and it looks very beautiful. Carbon base appreciates it and uses it as a gift for females, it seems It's an understanding, and it's all he told me."

Perceptron turned off the hologram, and Megatron saw on his face something he'd never seen on Perceptron before—a genuine, heartfelt smile.

"It's the first time I heard you mention your friend." Megatron was a little relieved, "May I ask, who is your friend? Well, I mean he knows a lot about--flowers, you know I'm researching That sample, I want to know more about that sample."

Perceptron was a little surprised, but he only froze for a moment, then smiled and told Megatron the identity and name of that person.

Orion.Pax, a librarian.

Yes, that explains where that knowledge comes from, and it doesn't seem at all surprising that a perceptron befriends a knowledgeable person.

'I thought, I might go to the library and borrow a book. '

Megatron, who has always used his authority to let students borrow books for him, or download texts directly from the school database, thought of going to the library himself.
