Chapter 183

Fortunately, Mugen himself didn't care about money, so he was only surprised for a short time. He soon got in a good mood. During this time, their car drove out for a long distance. Along the way, they didn't meet any places of interest that needed to be explained by tatalin, only the long wall behind the layers of green trees.

It should be a factory. All the land within the enclosure belongs to the property of the factory. After estimating the area of the factory, Mugen smacked his tongue.

Sure enough, after another hour's driving, mugan finally saw a heavily guarded gate in front of him. The gate looked extremely wide, allowing a standard size military warship to pass at the same time. On the gate, mugan saw a simple sign with black characters and red background. There was no exaggeration or abstract deformation, and the standard character was used on it "Sumei machinery" is printed on the page.

"This is Pandera's largest machining plant, SUMEC machinery, one of thousands of enterprises in the hands of plutocrat SUMEC." "It's also the ordnance factory designated by the military department. You can buy all the metals you need here," he said

Mugan nodded and gratefully said thanks to each other.

However, at this time, his father Xiao a, who had been sitting beside him, suddenly poked him and turned his head according to his meaning. Mugen's eyes just fell on Uncle alpha in Xiao a's arms On the screen, there is a line: "we don't get out of the car, take a, Mengmeng can go, but we can only go with our head. Sigma needs to change its shape."

Mugen was stunned and nodded for a while.

Although not happy, sigma is still afraid of power and becomes his brother's personal schoolbag, which is hung behind Mugen's back. Mengmeng takes off her head very easily: he still likes to watch the fun! This is the place where advanced robots are produced. He, a country bumpkin robot, has long wanted to come and see it!

When the car stopped at the gate, the guard robot carefully checked the documents of all the people on the car, and scanned the military brand suspension car inside and outside. It took 15 minutes for them to pass.

"That's what robots are. They will always be dedicated to their duties." There was no impatience with the complicated examination.

He was obviously very familiar with the terrain here. Facing the endless variety of factories, he took Mugen and others directly into a path on the right.

When they got to the bottom of the three story building, there was a blonde lady waiting there. She was wearing the Institute's unique white uniform and ID card. It seemed that she was the staff here.

Sure enough -

"Hello, I'm Luo from Sumei machinery, please come with me." She only gave a brief introduction of her name. Without even asking the identity of tatarin and mugan, she took them away.

This lady must often receive guests from the military, mugan thought.

"I've received the purchase list from lieutenant prinster. We have most of the metals on the list in our warehouse, except for famia and Micah." Take them into a very large white room. Ms. Luo presses a button, and a white seat just in line with the number of people on the floor rises, even the seat of robot xiaoa.

"You need 121 kg famia in total. The quantity we can provide in our warehouse is only 100 kg. I'm sorry for the remaining quantity. We are short of stock. In addition, we don't have Mika at present. We have just delivered a batch of military orders, which lieutenant prinster also knows. That order has exhausted our Mika inventory. "

Ms. Luo was very business minded. After a while, she hesitated and said:

"I heard that these metals are used to make robots. In this case, why not buy brand new robots? Our factory also produces the most cutting-edge military robots. The amount of your purchase list can buy ten of the top military robots at present. "

This is a very practical suggestion, which is beyond the scope of Ms. Luo's work. After all, she is only a staff member of a military factory, and all she can see is a purchase list. She doesn't know what this list is for, but it is a professional reason that makes her guess that these metals should be raw materials for manufacturing military robots.

Ms. Luo doesn't know, but Mr. prinster does. He doesn't understand the relationship between Mugen and robots such as alpha. He's just a mobile check sent by the military to be solely responsible for purchasing and paying. In his opinion, Ms. Luo's suggestion is actually very good, so he took a look at Mugen.

But Mugen shook his head and then, in order not to be friendly, he said no.

Mugan himself was simply unwilling, but he didn't know that this smile was a bit unpredictable in the eyes of other human beings.

As soon as she felt nervous, Ms. Luo secretly warned herself: Yes, people only buy materials instead of finished products. The reason must be that she didn't want to disclose the internal design of the robot, and she was out of order.

She quickly sent people to collect the materials on the list, and then Ms. Luo changed the topic"It suddenly occurred to me that there might be another place, maybe Fabia and Mika."

With an idea, Ms. Luo opened her smart brain, and after inputting a line of instructions, her serious face suddenly burst into a smile:

"it's also a coincidence that she really has it. She just arrived today."

Standing up, under the sign of Ms. Luo, Mugen and his party followed her around the building. They finally followed Ms. Luo to another white room.

There are many "parts" in this room, either a mechanical arm or a mechanical thigh This is a robot organ warehouse.

"They're quick. They've brought it in." Satisfied with the efficiency of her subordinates, Ms. Luo took Mugen and others to the display stand in the middle, pointed to the things on the display stand and said, "I almost forgot: there is no one in stock, but there is one on the robot. A lot of Fabia is used in the head and chest of the robot. After being refined, five kilograms of Fabia can be obtained."

"How wonderful It's a step closer to the amount of Fabia needed to make up the list, and Ms. Luo laughs happily.

However, mugan was stunned -

what was on the display was The black robot who once met him in the harbor.

But different from that time, the robot now has only its chest and head. The light screen on the head is still broken. However, not only the left arm, but also the right arm have disappeared, and the lower body has been removed.

Like an object, his remains lay alone on the display platform.

What's different from before is that his light screen is dark, and there are no more light spots flashing, which mugan had when he saw him.

He's dead.

When I saw him in the morning, although he was damaged, he was still "alive". But how could he be "dead" after such a while? Just because there is Fabian metal on his list, the warehouse is short of stock, but does he happen to have it?

Isn't it possible to repair it?

Trying to suppress the shaking in his voice, mugan asked his doubts.

Ms. Luo shook her head: "you may not know that this robot is a military model. It costs a lot to manufacture and repair. This is the 28th time it has been repaired. Its model is out of date, and the repair cost has exceeded the original manufacturing price. We will not provide repair service for the buyer. This time, it will be returned It's just for scrap. "

"Robots can't be scrapped at will. You see, the municipal waste treatment center has a special recycling and disposal point for waste robots, which is specially responsible for the unified recycling and scrapping of robots. This military model is even more so, and generally needs to be sent back to the original factory for scrapping..."

It turned out that when he came back alone, his left arm was gone and the light screen was broken. Was it to send him back to scrap?

Because it is scrapped, so even no seats, can only lie in the luggage compartment with the cargo back?

Mugan suddenly felt very sad.

He gently clenched the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, then tightened Mengmeng in his arms, and finally took a look at the robot xiaoa behind him.

"Can this robot be repaired? I mean, put it back together... " Mugan asked clumsily.

"No need? The robot has been scrapped, its body has been broken down, and its brain has been removed. " Ms. Luo is puzzled.

Mugan can only be silent in the end.

After refusing Ms. Luo's service to refine Fabia, mugan collected the remains of the black robot, picked up other materials prepared by the other party, and then left Sumei machinery.

Before leaving, Ms. Luo said that she would remember to help him pay attention to the arrival information of Fabia and Mika. Once the new products are put into storage, she will immediately inform lieutenant prinster.

Mugan thanks her.

Mugan is in a very low mood. However, he is an adult now, so he did not show his sadness all the way. At tatalin's invitation, they went to another restaurant for dinner. Mugan once again expressed his gratitude to them. After making an appointment to see them tomorrow afternoon, mugan was sent to the hotel where he stayed.

As a child, he threw himself into little a's father's arms. Mugan's grief broke out in an all-round way, and sigma immediately changed from a mechanical schoolbag to its original appearance, sticking it between mugan and little a like a plaster. He had to join himself in.

While the three were huddling together to comfort each other, five big heads were studying the remains of the robot that had been placed on the hotel bed.

"This robot is kappa." After a while, beta came to the conclusion: "after producing the kappa produced by sigma."

"When we left, kappa was only half done." Eta in the hard disk immediately turned to the photos of kappa, he even has kappa's body structure map!

"Well, although other metals have changed, the metal on the chest has not." This is the heavy mechanical sound of ipsilon.

"Of course, it won't change. The most precious material on him is the metal plate with famia composition on the front and back of his chest." ETA cut in.However, no matter how precious things are, they have become the materials that people sell. Just like they were back then.

If they didn't escape there in those years, it would be the same for them?

The body is broken down, the useless is abandoned, and the useful is used on other machines.

Five big heads are silent.

In the silence, Sigma's voice sounded in the room:

"Sigma will not work, Sigma will stay at home."

The little robot's fighting spirit aroused by his elder brother's work suddenly died down, and Sigma's volunteer became squatting at home again.

"It's good at home, too." Robot small a's manipulator not very gentle touched Sigma's head, and then mugan's.

This kind of behavior represents "gentle comfort", which comes from human textbooks.

It was a very cold and stiff touch, but Sigma and mugan were comforted at the same time.

Take the remains of kappa into your stomach. Sigma asks you not to dissolve and refine kappa. Mugan naturally agreed to his request, and then he was a little worried:

"but in this way, Fabia is really not enough. I don't know how long they will be like this..."

Mugen decided to turn to Doug, a classmate of dizong era. He was a local. Although he graduated and went to other galaxies for internship, he immediately said that he would ask for leave to come back after hearing that Mugen would go to Pandera. They made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning.

After confirming the time with Doug again, mugan went to bed. Although he was in a very low mood, because he had no rest on the spaceship before, he slept very deeply and didn't wake up all night.

And sigma is in his sleep do not wake up when secretly get up.

Using the scanning device to confirm the depth of the elder brother's sleep, sigma sneaked out of the hotel door.
