Chapter 110: Home
Detective Projection looked at the scrolling data display.
The various notification messages within the communication network have become contradictory to an absurd degree.
"The Eye of Surveillance attacked our central system with a large amount of virus code." said a technician in the command room.
Inspector Sheying frowned as he looked at the thousands of messages flashing on the communication network. He started a call with Cao Yu: "Cao Yu? What's going on over there?"
"Hello."
A calm voice came from the communicator. Although it was accompanied by a buzzing noise, Sheying realized that it was not from Cao Yu. The voice of the brown-haired young man was more frivolous and lively, and his tone could not be changed even in serious reports. "Who are you?"
"The Eye of Supervision greets you." The communicator said so. It was a very pleasant voice, a little low. "Thank you for your thoughtful care for the suspect."
Inspector Sheying asked angrily, "Where is Cao Yu? Where is Cao Yu?"
"Your squire is sleeping on the cold ground . You can come over later and arrange a better bed for him."
"Where are you? I tell you, if you dare..."
A light laugh came from the communicator. "After communicating with your ship's crew, I would like to give you a sincere suggestion. The food in your cafeteria is too unpalatable. I suggest you change the cook."
"you……"
Communications were cut off.
A few seconds later, another call came in. "Inspector! The suspect Chen Yuxin was kidnapped by the people of the Eye of Supervision!! Agent Cao Yu was injured and unconscious..."
Then another message came in, from Captain Clare, who said, "My Lord, there is a communication from the mourners."
"What did they say?"
"Thank you for cooperating with our team-building activities. We will now evacuate as planned. I would like to remind you that our attack just now was not at full strength. If you want to try to pursue us, we will not hold back and will greet you with 100% full strength."
“…”
Captain Claire said, "Inspector, they are telling the truth. The mourners' firepower is far superior to ours. If we pursue them rashly, the worst result will be that we will be wiped out in two hours."
Detective Projection slammed his fist down on the data slate.
With a slight tremor, Xiao Zhen stepped into the command room. The lights in the vast room were dimmed to the lowest setting, surrounded by thousands of bright stars, and in the center was the aqua-blue planet. Walking on the dark bridge was like floating in the deep space.
He took off his helmet. Two robot assistants slid over to help him remove the armor. The metal interface clicked, and the armor parts automatically detached from Xiaozhen's body. The robot assistants took the parts one by one and recovered them. After taking off the armor, there was no obvious sense of weight loss. This combat armor fits the body to the greatest extent.
After taking off his armor, he turned into the human Yan Zhen again, at least in appearance he was still that human boy.
A robot approached him, its movements smooth and light, without any mechanical heaviness.
Roken M89 said: "Roken M89 has something to ask you."
"Please go ahead."
"Did you encounter any UN series robots on the Minerva?"
"UN series? I met a robot wearing a red robe. It should be from the UN series."
"UN852-R3, Data Director of the Security Council's local office."
Xiao Zhen touched his chin and said, "That should be it."
There was a hissing sound of electricity inside the metal shell of Loken M89, and Xiao Zhen wondered if this was the way the robot expressed its emotions.
Xiao Zhen said, "I took it apart."
The sound of electricity stopped for two seconds, then turned into another subtle noise. A mechanical electronic smell spread in the air. Xiao Zhen didn't understand the meaning of it. Maybe this was the robot's expression of excitement.
Roken M89 spoke up: "Very good."
"I think it won't take long to restore it."
"Master Yan Zhen, I have been calculating the possibility of tearing off the central core chip of UN852-R3 in the future."
"You are a robot. Do you feel pleasure in deducing this kind of plan?"
"I cannot understand the specific meaning of the emotion of joy of living beings. Although this kind of deduction is meaningless to the real situation, it can undoubtedly effectively reduce the generation of chaotic codes in my system."
I understand. You really want to see the UN852-R3 in the local office of the Safety Committee member turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Mr. Cat was sitting on the central table, looking at multiple flashing data boards, and in front of him was a rotating stereoscopic projection. Each data board was displaying nearly a thousand messages at the same time. Xiao Zhen noticed that Mr. Cat's paws were moving very quickly across these data boards. This was not an unconscious behavior of the animal, but it was processing information quickly. The movement of the cat's paws was without any hesitation, fast and skillful. This meant that it was fully aware of all the data information reported.
Just now, Xiao Zhen had secretly implanted a virus program on the Wisdom Goddess according to Mr. Cat's instructions. He guessed that this program should not be just a Trojan horse that destroys the internal system of the Wisdom Goddess. As for Mr. Cat's real purpose, he was not interested. The most important thing at the moment was to solve the problem of the son of Commander Herak of the Sky Clear Star.
"My people will check Chen Yuxin's physical condition, so don't worry." Mr. Cat's eyes did not leave the three-dimensional projection image.
"I will not agree to hand Chen Yuxin over to the Heracles."
"Neither am I going to. One regular human girl can't solve every problem."
"So now, have you found the results of your search?"
"We searched the entire river where Commander Herac's son fell into the water."
"What's the result?"
"We didn't find the body of the poor Prince Herak. After investigating the surveillance cameras of all the communities along the river, we finally made a new discovery. This discovery was made before the Security Committee members did."
"What ?"
Mr. Cat tapped the data board. A puppy appeared on the 3D screen. The dog was holding a blurry object in its mouth. After zooming in on the screen, it was still not clear what was in the dog's mouth. The screen showed that the image was being intelligently analyzed. After a few seconds, the image clearly marked that the puppy was holding a frog in its mouth. A data frame framed the half-exposed frog's legs and body, and outlined the pattern on the frog's body. That was the totem of the Herak people.
"Why do I feel that this dog looks familiar?" Xiao Zhen said. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then the next second, his premonition came true.
"We have found the puppy's owner."
Teacher Li’s big portrait appeared on the screen.
"Congratulations, another old acquaintance of yours."
“…”
Teacher Li is looking at the recipe.
His chicken soup was a huge success and was well received by everyone in the family (himself, the monster, and the puppy).
Encouraged by the great success of the chicken soup, Teacher Li was eager to try other recipes.
Once a dish is successfully cooked, novices often have the illusion that they are talented future chefs. Regardless of cooking or not, this illusion can occur in many industries, and Mr. Li is no exception.
He was going to try a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, which was his wife's favorite in the past.
I went to the supermarket to buy some spareribs and prepared all the seasonings. Teacher Li put on his kitchen apron. He was a serious person, and he did everything in a methodical manner, and ritualistic procedures were essential.
Cut the ribs into 1-inch pieces and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes. The recipe says that the warm water needs to be 50 degrees Celsius, so Teacher Li took out a thermometer and measured the temperature before putting the ribs into the warm water.
After 10 minutes, he took out the ribs, filtered out the water, poured the ribs into the oil pan and began to dry-fry. Soon, the kitchen was filled with a fragrant aroma.
The monster was hanging on the door again, staring at his pot without moving. Teacher Li looked back with the spatula, and it immediately retracted its head.
After a while, he popped his head out of the door again and stared in. Simba the dog joined him.
A monster and a dog squatted at the door with great concentration.
After frying for ten minutes, Mr. Li turned off the fire. As soon as he turned around, the monster retreated behind the door again.
Seeing it like this, Teacher Li couldn't help but wonder if he had beaten it too hard a while ago. He thought about it, went to the living room, and took out a bag of fruit candies from his bag. He bought them at a convenience store after school.
The students in his class seemed to like eating this kind of fruit candy very much. He saw the candy packaging bags on the students' desks more than once. As long as someone ate it, half of the classroom would be filled with the aroma of fruit candy.
Teacher Li always turned a blind eye to it. Yesterday after school, he somehow walked into a convenience store and bought a bag of fruit candy. He doesn't like sweets very much, but maybe, that thing, might eat this kind of candy.
He took the fruit candy in his hand and waved to the monster. It ran to Teacher Li and stared at the fruit candy with curious eyes.
Teacher Li tore open the package, took out two candies and handed them to the dog. The dog took them, sniffed them, and then put the candies into his mouth.
It had a strange expression on its face again, the same one it had when it drank the chicken soup. Teacher Li guessed that it must like it very much.
Sure enough, the two candies went into its stomach immediately. It licked its paws with great satisfaction, and stared at the candy bag in Teacher Li's hand. Teacher Li grabbed three more and handed them to it. The monster turned around with the candy in its hand, squatted on the sofa and started eating.
It seems like it really likes it.
Simba also came over curiously and sniffed the candy in the monster's hand under the sofa, but it just shook it in front of the puppy as if showing off and put it in its mouth.
This monster really looks like a child.
Teacher Li turned back to the kitchen and continued his sweet and sour pork ribs. He poured water into the pot until it was level with the ribs. He took a measuring spoon and added seasonings one by one according to the recipe, rice wine, soy sauce, vinegar, and eight tablespoons of sugar. After adding everything, he turned on the fire. The instructions said to simmer for 40 minutes, so he just cooked it slowly.
The kitchen was filled with the appetizing aroma of meat, and Teacher Li felt that this attempt should be successful.
He returned to the living room. The monster was stealthily picking through the fruit gummies in his bag, and Simba followed it, looking very excited.
Teacher Li coughed.
It jumped up in fright, turned around and ran back to the sofa at a very fast speed, showing its paws to Teacher Li to show its innocence. The whole bag of fruit jelly fell to the ground in front of Simba, and the puppy among the scattered candies became a criminal. Simba immediately squatted down and made a wronged gesture, whimpering non-stop.
Teacher Li put the fruit gummies back into his bag. He was too lazy to argue with these two. As long as they didn't destroy the house or attack the hens, Teacher Li felt that he could tolerate them. He returned to his desk, took out the lesson plan, and started his work.
Although it is a junior high school, the current teaching task is very heavy. Teacher Li believes that the students in his class are actually smart students, but the current grades are really not optimistic. He feels that he needs to improve his teaching methods and homework focus. He visited the open classes of the sister schools a few days ago and exchanged teaching experiences, which made him feel a lot.
It will take some effort, he thought.
Opening his notebook, Teacher Li adjusted his lecture focus and examples based on the lesson plan. Different solutions to the same algebra problem led to different test points. He circled and drew, thinking about his own experience.
…
Time passes by unknowingly.
Suddenly, he slammed the book down. My chops!
He glanced at the time and found that an hour had passed.
Spare ribs! My spare ribs. They're going to burn!
Teacher Li rushed into the kitchen, but there was no burnt smell, only the appetizing aroma of sweet and sour pork. The fire on the stove had been turned off. He opened the lid of the pot, and the shiny brown ribs were emitting a hot aroma.
The monster was leaning against the door, looking at him cautiously.
Is it the one that turned it off?
And it didn't even steal any food.
Teacher Li felt a little touched. Then he glanced at his opened bag on the living room table. The bag of fruit jelly candies was lying on the floor, with not a single candy inside.
“…”
Teacher Li glared at the monster clinging to the kitchen door.
The monster grunted vaguely.
He turned around and scooped up a piece of shiny brown ribs with a shovel and tasted it. Not bad. Although the ribs that were nearly burnt by the monster were not as good as his wife's cooking skills, they were still acceptable.
He arranged the ribs neatly on a plate and brought it to the table.
The monster and Simba became excited again and rushed to the dining table.
Under the gaze of Teacher Li, it sat on the chair in a proper manner, its lower body and limbs just wrapped around the chair, and its upper body stood straight, staring at the ribs on the plate. Teacher Li thought that since it knew to turn off the fire to avoid burning, its cognitive ability must be very strong.
So Mr. Li handed it a pair of chopsticks. He also picked up the chopsticks, pointed at the monster, and picked up a small piece of pork ribs.
The monster held the chopsticks in its claws in a weird way, and then imitated Teacher Li's posture to pick up the spareribs. At first, it simply poked the spareribs with chopsticks, but in less than two minutes, it learned how to use chopsticks.
After picking it up, it held it up to show him proudly. Teacher Li nodded. It immediately put the ribs into its mouth.
The monster showed a strange happy expression again and began to eat with relish.
That's not bad.
Maybe I can teach it more in the future.
…
Ding Dong...
The doorbell rang outside.
Who would come looking for him at this time? Now that the monsters have basically stopped destroying the house, the property security guards should not come looking for him again.
Teacher Li put down his chopsticks, walked to the entrance and opened the door.
His student, Yan Zhenzhen was standing at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
