Alien signal? It seems to be from me.

Chapter 20 Zhu Xutai's Doubts
I have to say that the official service speed is fast.

After filling out the application and questionnaire on the official website, the local hospital called me the next day.

Zhou Zheng took some time to take his sister to the hospital, and after her qualifications were verified, she was fine.

After going through the offline application process, the package containing the mechanical exoskeleton was delivered to my doorstep on the third day.

"Brother? What is this?"

Today is the weekend.

After hearing the noise, Zhou Ke pushed his wheelchair and curiously leaned over to ask.

"An auxiliary exoskeleton." Zhou Zheng answered casually while unpacking the package.

"Is that the one you took me to the hospital to fill out the application form for yesterday?" Zhou Ke looked down at his empty trouser legs, his tone revealing his confusion: "Who is it for?"

The box was finally opened.

The pure white exoskeleton is lightweight and can provide sufficient power support for disabled people by simply wearing it on the legs, helping them to walk freely.

Zhou Zheng tried wearing it and roughly felt the power of this thing.

Just like what was said in the introduction, this thing can only serve as an aid for walking.

The effect on normal people is minimal, at best it just makes walking less tiring.

Although I had expected it, I still felt a little disappointed when I finally got it.

"You are a dog!"

Zhou Ke's expression was shocked, and his pupils trembled as he watched his brother trying out the auxiliary exoskeleton without paying any attention to him.

"No! Zhou Zheng, you're really going too far!"

"You're stealing things from disabled people, aren't you?"

Zhou Ke stretched out his hand and pointed at his brother tremblingly.

Hearing his sister say this, Zhou Zheng's face turned red and he touched his nose embarrassedly.

But he couldn't explain it. He couldn't say that he bought this thing just to replicate it in his dream, right?

I always feel like after saying this, I'll become even more socially dead, okay?

And more importantly, he didn't plan to tell his sister about the mechanical prosthesis until she was back on her feet.

Since it has been confirmed that the alien spaceship in the dream does have mechanical prosthetic technology, Zhou Zheng is confident that he will definitely not fail.

But no matter how confident he is, he can hardly guarantee how long it will take to replicate the mechanical prosthesis in reality.

The wait after regaining hope is agonizing, not to mention regaining legs. He doesn't want his sister to spend the rest of her life waiting in this agony.

and so……

Hearing Zhou Ke still spouting trash talk, Zhou Zheng quickly pushed his sister back to the room with a stern face.

As the door closed, the world finally returned to peace.

Since there is no way to explain it, I can only mute the microphone manually.

Back in the room, Zhou Zheng took the tools and began to study the auxiliary exoskeleton in front of him.

Looking at the pure white device in front of him, he took a deep breath, his heart filled with pain.

It’s so damn expensive!

Just to buy this thing in front of you, I spent a year and a half's salary.

If he hadn't received a share of the company's shares, his savings wouldn't even be enough to buy this thing.

So I was extremely cautious when I made the purchase, fearing that if I accidentally broke it, I would not have the money to buy a second one in the short term.

"Come on! Zhou Zheng! You can definitely do it!"

Finally, he cheered himself up and concentrated on disassembling the auxiliary exoskeleton in front of him.

This is also where he feels most inconvenient.

The dream world and the real world are two completely independent worlds.

Zhou Zheng couldn't be like some hero in a story about two worlds, able to take something from one world to the other at will. Just like now, if he wanted to replicate the exoskeleton armor in the dream world, he would have to master the technology in reality first, and then go to the dream world and create a set by hand.

This leads to...

Ever since he tried to open the treatment chamber, Zhou Zheng has devoted himself to studying, and the knowledge he has learned during this period has been extremely diverse.

From crop planting to oxygen cutting, from hand-kneaded earth guns to today's exoskeleton armor.

In just one month, he felt that he was going further and further down the path of breaking the law.

Look at the skills we have learned. Apart from farming, which one is legal?
Even the oxygen cutting is an alien-strengthened version. This thing can cut through Earth's bank vaults like a hot knife through butter.

I don't even bother to mention the remaining hand-rubbing, earthen guns, and exoskeleton armor.

Zhou Zheng let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, I have always been a legal citizen on Earth and have never attracted much attention.

"..."

"Chenxi Technology?"

Zhu Xutai looked at the avant-garde robot with a puzzled look in his eyes. "I remember that all the products we bought before were from Nova Technology, weren't they?"

Because of the alien signal, he has been working overtime at the company during this period.

Therefore, he knew nothing about the "Xingxing Technology Explosion Incident" that was widely discussed on the Internet.

It was not until his wife angrily told him the story that Zhu Xutai finally breathed a sigh of relief with a look of fear on his face.

Even the look he gave the little robot became much softer.

Zhu Xutai's brows grew deeper as he boredly flipped through the instruction manual of the little robot.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing."

Zhu Xutai pursed his lips and said, "I just feel like this new technology looks very familiar."

For some reason, he always felt that he must have seen this technology somewhere.

And it happened recently, otherwise he wouldn't have such a strong sense of déjà vu.

But where is it?

He rubbed his temples, feeling that the answer was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say it.

It wasn't until he noticed his wife's dissatisfied look that he coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Wife, let's go to the movies tonight?"

I have neglected my family for a long time because of work. There is really no need to bring work home and make people angry.

He stood up and helped his daughter put on her clothes, then picked up his wife's bag.

Zhu Xutai took a last look at the lonely little robot before turning off the lights.

The sense of familiarity was so strong that it caused him to be distracted when he saw it just now.

I'll spend time with my family today, and then think about it carefully when I go to work tomorrow.

So, with the switch pressed.

The world inside the house fell into darkness again.

In the darkness, the little robot ran to the charging station by itself.

After adjusting the angle and connecting the charging device, the expression on the screen turned into a satisfied squinting look.

"Goodbye, Master."

"Have fun tonight."

In a pitch-black room.

An emotionless electronic sound echoed in the room.
