First generation female Alpha

Cen Zhao stared blankly at this incomprehensible invitation letter for half an hour, then took a deep breath, and decided to do something else to change his mind before interpreting it.

Since Uncle Yan sent her this invitation letter without anything attached, it proved that she must have the ability to decipher it, or he thought she had the ability to decipher it.If she thinks so, then she must have overlooked some important information, or didn't think of some means of interpretation, which made it impossible for her to understand it.

Because he just wanted to change his mind, Cen Zhao didn't do the design work, but came to the assembly center of the four institutes and asked the administrator for an assembly task.

Although Cen Zhao didn't stay in No. [-] Institute for a long time, because of his appetite and talent in mechanical design and assembly, he was recognized by the resident staff in No. [-] Institute. Therefore, when the administrator saw her coming, he didn't even think about it. Thinking about it, I handed over the two most complicated tasks to her, and then asked her with earnest eyes: "How long are you going to stay? I haven't been here for so long, and my skills are rusty, why don't you come over and practice your hands?"

Cen Zhao rejected his "invitation" with a dry smile, took two tasks and ran away. Under the guidance of the task robot, he came to the assembly point of the first task.

This is a separate assembly workshop, and the parts are neatly placed in the room. At first glance, it can be seen that it is the masterpiece of the mechanic who is famous for his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Cen Zhao likes this arrangement very much. The placement of each part is clear at a glance, and she does not need to spend time sorting out before assembling.

It's a pity that there are very few designers who are willing to do this. For a designer as unkempt as Nie Xingli, the assembler needs to search for the necessary parts all over the room, and the preparation work may take an hour.

Standing at the door and looking around, he took out the design drawing and looked at it. He had a rough model of the whole machine in his mind. Cen Zhao moved his wrist and began to assemble it.

Today, she is no longer the little rookie who passively activated the ability. The ability is like a command to her. She only needs to mobilize a little bit of the ability to complete this kind of work perfectly. There is no time limit for the ability. It needs to be consumed, which can be said to be handy.

Large and small parts were sent to Cen Zhao by the auxiliary robot in a pre-set order. Her hands were flying up and down. The movements were not graceful, but they were pleasing to the eye because of their extreme simplicity.

If there are others watching at this time, they will find that they can't concentrate on other things at all, and all their attention will be on Cen Zhao's hands. Some people may even imagine that if such hands are caressing themselves ...

Twenty minutes later, Cen Zhao installed the last piece in its place, and looked curiously at the newly formed machine.

If she is not mistaken, this machine should be some kind of small unmanned space transportation warehouse, but the inner storage capacity is not large, and the control system is also very simple. It looks like an old model that was eliminated five years ago, and it is not worth it. Issue advanced assembly tasks and assemble with a fit of more than 95%.

If I insist on the advantages of this machine, it has a beautiful appearance and looks like a cute little animal after assembly. The two observation windows are like two big eyes, which are very cute.

When did that designer take this route?She clearly remembered that he always took the most simple route, even the design made by the students to make the machine look beautiful was severely criticized by him, how could they do it by themselves?

Thinking about it, Cen Zhao was not idle when handing over the task, and then he was about to let the task robot take him to the next task site.

However, before she could leave the studio, the door of the studio opened again, and the designer walked in.

Before he had time to say hello to him, Cen Zhao was completely attracted by the baby in his arms.

"Huh? Professor Xu, is this your child?"

Professor Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that you accepted my task, so I took advantage of it, thank you! Yes, this is my son... no, it should be my daughter? It's not right, it seems to be son?"

Seeing Professor Xu's confused face, how could Cen Zhao not know what's going on?

"A child of a new gender?"

"Yes, after a preliminary test, it is a child of Beta gender, but whether it is male or female can only be known when the child is half a year old. Now everyone is calling 'baby' and 'baby', and they don't care about it. "

"It's so cute!" Cen Zhao leaned over, carefully stretched out a finger and poked the little baby's chubby face, then looked at his big watery eyes, grabbed his finger, and held it in front of him very seriously. Seriously, as if doing some major research.

"Wow, the way the baby thinks is carved out of the same mold as Professor Xu, really like it!"

Professor Xu looked proud: "Right? The little guy must be a genius in mechanics. Let me tell you, he can understand the language of machines! Isn't it amazing? He can't even understand the words of his parents, but he can understand the words of these machines , It has been several times, he can respond to some mechanical language, so I plan to bring him to the studio a few more times, let him receive the influence from an early age, and when he is really sensible, he must be a real little genius!"

Cen Zhao stood there in a daze, not even noticing that his fingers were being pulled into his mouth by the baby.

Mechanical language?

Yes, why did she forget that there is still this available? !

Thinking of this, Cen Zhao withdrew his finger that had been licked twice, turned around and ran straight to his studio without even saying goodbye.

Behind her, Professor Xu, with a look of no surprise, lightly tapped his baby's head, told him not to eat indiscriminately, and then went to check the "big toy" he just put together with the baby.

Cen Zhao ran all the way back to the studio, and used the existing parts and materials to build a mechanical language tool machine, and then scanned the translated unknown language into the machine, waiting for the operation result.

Machinery has its own language—a phrase originated by a mechanical physicist more than 70 years ago.

When he proposed this theory, many people thought it was just a unique romance of a mechanical lover. It was not until he came up with a complete set of mechanical language interpretation methods that he shocked the entire industry.

The mechanical language mentioned here is different from the noise produced by general mechanical operation. They are usually not captured by the human ear, and they do not belong to any kind of sound waves. To interpret them, special conversion methods are required to finally become able. language understood by people.

However, although this theory has shocked the industry, it has not received much attention, because the actual application range of mechanical language is too narrow, and the meanings that can be expressed are very simple, and these translated "languages" are ultimately only to assist human understanding The state of the machine, but there are too many means to detect the state, and "listening" is only one of them.

After this research result was made public, someone tried to use mechanical language to reverse-compile the code, that is, to convert the information to be transmitted into mechanical language, and then the interpreter decrypts the content. A rare folk password game.

Cen Zhao didn't think about it at all before, because encryption and decryption using this method requires specific tools, and it is indeed very rare. She only heard it once from Qingyun College students since she was a child, and it was just chatting between classes. mentioned when.

If it wasn't for her good memory, she would have forgotten all about it long ago.

It took only 15 seconds for the decryption machine to go from startup to quietness, and Qiqi received the decrypted files very quickly.

Sure enough, those unreadable languages ​​have been converted into the common language of the Federation, which clearly marked the time, place and project.

It was also at this time that Cen Zhao understood why Uncle Yan thought she was slow in completing the task.

The effective time of this invitation letter is only 45 days, and today is the eighth day it has been effective. If she delays the mission of Jingnan Star for another month, or there are too many vague parts in the design, this invitation letter It's expired.

The location indicated in the invitation letter is inside a fringe star field called "Eastern Wilderness" of the Federation. It has been less than 20 years since this star field was brought into the territory of the Federation. There are many planets that need to be opened up in the star field. The star field where hunters gather together, where the federal military has also deployed a lot of troops, belongs to the conventional military control area, and ordinary people cannot go there without special passes.

Two years ago, when Cen Zhao was not the captain, he went to the Eastern Desolation Starfield with the seniors from the Star Base, arrested a notorious criminal gang, and got a taste of the sturdy folk customs of the Eastern Desolation Starfield.

Today's Cen Zhao would certainly not be overwhelmed by the atmosphere there anymore, it would be better to say that she felt excited just thinking about it, but she never had the chance to go again, now that she has the chance, how could there be any reason not to go?

Although this invitation is not clearly stated, it should be a ticket to open up wasteland for a certain planet or certain planets. One invitation letter can be used by two people. Counting from the day when the invitation letter is activated, there is one month of free time.

If you are lucky, you will find a special vein within this month, and getting rich overnight is not a dream.

But there is still one spot, who should she take?

While thinking, Cen Zhao submitted a vacation application to the base, directly applying for [-] days, and then left the team management work to a team member who was regarded as a daily support by her.

Asking for leave, Cen Zhao went out to finish the remaining assembly task, and then knocked on Zhong Liuying's door.

As soon as the door opened, the rich pheromones belonging to Zhong Liuying rushed towards him. If another Beta had stood at the door, he might have been paralyzed on the ground and peed his pants, but Cen Zhao didn't change his face, and walked to the bed where he was lying. In the center of the room, Zhong Liu, who was panting heavily, came beside him and kicked his arm with his toe.

"Get up, the captain will take you to learn more."
