Chapter 204 – Names are the origin of feelings

Names are the origin of feelings.

Things that have a name will no longer be merely expendable.

Each call, the accumulated habit, will make people’s hearts, unconsciously have a place for that name.

The Hsu system can’t read the machine’s mind.

He doesn’t know.

What kind of mind does the self-same machine servant have regarding the naming.

But the Xu system guessed that Ailee should like to do that.

Since taking her name, Ailee has shown more and more humanity, revealing more smiling expressions in the calm alternation between the sun and the moon.

Slightly worn screen.

The image is a patchwork of small squares of pixels.

In a not-so-great-looking gesture, he merged into an expression of a smile with a pronounced arc.

The feeling was subtle, like a sliver of warm sunlight slanting through the fingertips of a winter watch, feeling warmth from the hollow cold.

Even though Ailee didn’t have a thumping heart.

Unable to cuddle like a human.

But through that screen, Xu System could vaguely see that a newborn soul was smiling at him from within, smiling purely.

“Ailee, deactivate the weapon system restrictions.”

“Yes. Weapons systems are fully unrestricted, energy lines are feeding normally, and have been synchronized to the external screen.”

“Ailee, report on remaining energy.”

“Yes, currently storing 1001 TP3T.”

Several more days passed, and the power armor that Xu Department had been longing for finally finished its debugging, and was charged to the full state of 100%.

The body clangs and the gears bite.

Lever push-pull, precision interlacing.

The gray body is broad-shouldered, thick and severe, with multiple composites providing amazing protection while carrying a variety of attack weapons, stowed side to side and rear by metal racks.

System Xu looked at the full extent of the power armor and nodded slightly.

So-called power armor is not complicated to understand.

Faster.

Greater power.

Harder body.

And more firepower.

Everything is designed with the idea of enhancing the ability to fight alone.

System Xu didn’t feel that a single power armor alone would be able to combat the wave of Smartarms, but at the very least, it would greatly enhance his current combat power.

“Ailee, dress code.”

“Yes, Master.”

As Department Xu gave the order.

The loyal machine servant began to operate the robotic arm, gradually opening the power armor and suiting up in the Xu system from the extremities.

The torque swirls and dances, and the parts nest.

One carrier piece is perfectly attached.

[Weapon module loaded, primary weapon fully charged, secondary weapon fully charged]

[Antigravity module loaded, back jet preenergized 50%]

[Visual module loaded, visualization map generated]

[Radar module loaded, auto-surveillance enabled]

An ice-cold mechanical tone sounded beside Xu System’s ears.

It was Ailee’s voice.

Instead of coming from the outside world as a laboratory machine core, it appeared inside the power armor.

It was Xu’s department’s intention to get Ailee inside the power armor to take care of support matters and coordinate the battle in all aspects.

Power armor is so versatile.

It was inevitable that the Xu system would be manipulated by a single person, and there would be delays and mistakes.

And the addition of intelligent AI can help the Xu system, handle each battle as perfectly as possible.

“Master, the dress code is over, the lab doors are open and ready to go.”

“Well, let’s go.”

The Xu system took a step, and the heavy alloy armor followed its movements, one step at a time, landing thickly on the floor and shaking the dust.

Feel the overly loud commotion.

The Xu system eases its pace slightly.

This time, the armor made significantly less noise.

Accelerating the pace.

Arms power surges.

The Xu system stepped out of the underground space and once again came to the dangerous surface.

There was still the endless wind and sand, as well as the desolate and crumbling continuous ruins, and everything on the surface of the ground was no different from when Xu System first saw it.

“Hoo-“

“Hoo-“

The wind whistled and slapped the armor with dust and sand.

In the past, these winds and sands always hit his cheeks raw, but this time, Xu System, who was wearing power armor, no longer felt that way.

“Power armor is just fine.”

The Xu system marveled in his heart.

[Ding–]

[Your compliments have been very flattering to the power armor, and it’s become even closer to you.]

[You accidentally discover that the power armor’s value has risen by 1% across the board, both in strength and speed, and your power armor has become more courageous]

[Vaguely, you understand a little bit about the construction of power armor.]

……

The Xu system began to advance.

Clad in power armor, he completely ignored the harsh environment of the city’s ruins, stomping right through the sharp, apocalyptic garbage in the rise and fall of his stride.

The Xu system had planned ahead for this trip.

Searching for new energy sources.

Looking for new technology.

Those were his two main goals for the day.

Power armor is good for everything, but the energy consumption is too drastic and far beyond the solar power supply of the lab base.

Therefore, the search for new sources of energy is imminent.

As for the new technology, the ability to provide more knowledge to the Hsu system is equally indispensable and important.

“Ailee, how does it feel to see the outside world for the first time?”

Walking course.

The Xu system was talking to its own machine servant.

“It feels strange ……,” the electronically synthesized voice said, calm with bewilderment, while small dull micro-expressions surfaced in Xu’s system’s helmeted vision.

“According to the Federal Data Bank, the latest edition of the Sixth Satellite City Report, the Sixth Satellite City is supposed to have large areas of greenery, but I did not see it.”

The Machine Servant is aware of the existence of the Wisdom Crisis.

But it’s never really seen.

Previously, the understanding of the world only existed in the information materials in the laboratory, and the verbal narration of Xu Department.

This trip today was among the first for Ailee.

Department Xu smiled, “Information and reality, there is ultimately a difference, Ailee, you need to learn to observe the world on your own.”

“I will, Master.”

Pixel-pieced micro-expressions reveal a serious look.

Wind and sand.

The Xu system manipulates the power armor further and further.

Occasionally, the mindless machine servant would question him, asking questions that weren’t in the databank.

“Master, do you get lonely?”

“Why do you say that.”

“Federal biology mentions that humans are social creatures, unable to live apart from the group, and that all values derive from the group.”

“Haha, I’m fine, there’s nothing I don’t like about my current life.”

“So the master won’t be alone and lonely?”

“Well …… it’s true that it won’t, after all, with you.”

in a cycle of inquiry and response.

The Xu system maneuvered its power armor and managed to make its way through the ruins of multiple buildings to the park located on the other side.

This is the same laboratory where the Hsu system resides.

Responsible for developing federal technology.

Located in a number of high-tech companies.

“Teo Security, Mercury Technology, Saikyo Energy ……,” Xu System’s eyes scanned, finally settling on the energy company’s building.
