Chapter 356: Chapter 328: Warmth

Whether it’s the biological technology-focused Prometheus, Gen-Sys,

or the Evil Science Alliance, known for their evil magic and lack of limits, their transformation technologies still have to abide by the constraints of reality and conform to the laws of life.

However, [Assembled Puppet·Modified] has a touch of idealism, "I reckon if this thing can operate, then it operates."

Li Cheng had no doubt that if this prop fell into Prometheus’s hands, they could pull off a cyberpunk move like "taking a person’s brain out and putting it into a computer room to create an employee who can work 24/7."

Though the real world was already sufficiently cyberpunk—Amazon Company would use AI systems to monitor employees’ workstations, computer screens, and eye movements, even their drinking water and bathroom behaviors. Once it detects an employee is "slacking off," it can bypass supervisors and directly fire them.

Domestically, the food delivery platform dared to exploit the lag in laws and regulations, eating up the merchants’ revenue upstream, charging membership fees to customers midstream, and infinitely squeezing riders downstream with algorithms, and still had the audacity to claim annual losses.

Everyone is losing money, so who is profiting? So strange.jpg

"The original [Assembled Puppet] combined with the [Technology Singularity Device] produces an effect far greater than 1+1. Falling into the wrong hands, the harm could be endless, fortunately, I got my hands on it."

Li Cheng mumbled about "thankfully technology is in the hands of civilization" and suddenly thought of something, hastily grabbing a brand new CPU, memory sticks, solid-state drives, and computer motherboards from the shelf, and turning to look at Gray Rain.

Oh no!

Gray Rain instinctively sensed something was wrong, scrambling backward hand and foot but was caught by Li Cheng by the collar with a resigned face, "I won’t hurt you, come here to upgrade your brain."

"I don’t want to!"

Gray Rain looked like an elementary school student waiting for a shot in the hospital corridor, shaking her head like a rattle.

Li Cheng coaxed and talked softly, and she reluctantly sat on the chair, nervously swallowing her saliva.

"Sit still."

Li Cheng placed the electronic components on the table, gently intertwining them with Gray Rain’s hair, prioritizing the CPU, "How do you feel?"

Gray Rain was silent for a long time, her eyes flashing with the light of wisdom, "...forty."

"Hmm? What forty."

"In this room, the combined number of your and my fingers and toes is forty."

Gray Rain said wisely and deeply, "Together we have four eyes, four ears, two noses..."

Are you seriously here?

Li Cheng felt a headache, "I’m asking if there’s any mental change, like improved computing power."

"Hiss—"

Gray Rain took a deep breath, seriously said, "I feel terrifyingly strong now, my brain is super fast, why don’t you ask me a math question? Anything will do."

"521×1314-520+8848." Li Cheng casually made up an equation,

Gray Rain smiled confidently, "891608"

"What?" Li Cheng’s eye twitched, "That’s not correct."

Gray Rain spread her hands, "Don’t ask if it’s correct, just say if it’s fast."

Fast, my foot. Something must be wrong somewhere.

Li Cheng didn’t believe it, suspecting Gray Rain’s memory was too small, causing the new CPU to underperform.

Thus, he activated [Assembled Puppet·Modified] again, connecting the 64GB memory stick and the solid-state drive to her hair.

This time, there finally was a change.

Gray Rain’s eyes sparkled, she picked up a test paper from the drawer and started writing away swiftly, the final results quite...peculiar.

In regular mathematical calculations, her performance skyrocketed, almost like a calculator.

But when faced with complex questions requiring abstract thinking, perceptual reasoning, like image ordering, logical reasoning, comprehensive analysis, her performance only slightly improved.

"Hmm..."

Li Cheng looked conflicted, pondering for a long time before roughly guessing the reason.

Gray Rain’s essence is that of an interstellar pirate, using Zeluo civilization and other interstellar civilizations’ technology to create a liquid metal robot.

It’s an engineering marvel, the technological content far surpasses that of Earth civilization stuck in the Solar System.

The reason Gray Rain usually appeared not very smart was that her creators, the interstellar pirates, hadn’t specially designed or optimized her intellect attribute.

In other words, her hardware is super powerful, but her software is extremely lacking.

Now, attaching Earth era CPUs, memory sticks, and solid-state drives to Gray Rain can only enhance the most basic computing ability.

Most of the computing power is limited by the lack of compatible software, unable to be fully realized.

Li Cheng scratched his head; Gray Rain, as a liquid metal robot, is thousands of years ahead in technology, there isn’t a single company or organization on Earth capable of creating compatible software for her.

Thus, she is too advanced yet too backward. Unable to progress or regress, stuck here.

Compared to Li Cheng’s regret, Gray Rain was quite happy.

The expansion of memory and hard drive made her feel refreshed, almost touched, and she quickly picked up her phone and started browsing short videos,

while watching, she said to Li Cheng, "Woohoo! Now with tens of TBs of capacity, I don’t have to store short video memories in my brain anymore, and delete old memories when there’s not enough space. Awesome!"

So, you, a super advanced future robot, are going to do just this?

Li Cheng rolled his eyes, just about to give her a light flick on the forehead, suddenly thought of something, his expression softened again.

Indeed, Gray Rain initially only had 256GB of storage space, of which a part was system files.

The longer she stayed with Li Cheng, the more memories they created together.

To remember every moment with him, Gray Rain had to use up storage space in 1GB chunks, leaving less and less brain capacity for herself.

"..."

Li Cheng extended his palm and gently touched Gray Rain’s little head.

Gray Rain instinctively shrank her neck, turning to see Li Cheng’s gentle expression, her face inexplicably started turning red, stammering, "Y-you yo-you you’re heavy."

"? What are you thinking about."

Li Cheng’s face darkened, letting Gray Rain continue with her homework, while he himself picked up the now-silver-colored assembled puppet and walked to the shelf.

Attaching electronic devices to hair is still too unstable.

Moreover, the liquid metal inside Gray Rain’s body flows slowly, her liquid metal muscles automatically tense up during combat, making installation inside her body unstable as well.

After thinking it over, Li Cheng simply took out sewing equipment, using special textile fabric from spacesuits, fixing the CPU and memory sticks inside the fabric to make a jacket.

Gray Rain would then be able to wear the jacket, connecting via cables to the external brain for activities.

The light bulb on the warehouse ceiling quietly illuminated,

Gray Rain sat at the desk doing homework, occasionally sneaking her phone,

Li Cheng was in the corner, stepping on the sewing machine, seriously sewing clothes.

"Da-da-da-da-da."

The scene was bizarre yet harmonious.
