Alien signal? It seems to be from me.

Chapter 39: Start replicating the mechanical prosthesis

no matter when.

No matter where.

Whenever he woke up from a dream, the hour hand would point to seven o'clock with incredible precision.

Today... the real time has changed...

Zhou Zheng was not sure what this change meant, and at the moment he had no idea what caused this change.

Close your eyes and relax on the subway.

The morning news was playing in the headphones, but it was still some irrelevant things, and there was absolutely no content related to alien signals.

There is no way to determine whether the news was deliberately concealed to prevent people from panicking, or whether the signal sent by the higher-ups was not received by the Earth at all.

This feeling of uncertainty made him feel a little irritated, but fortunately there was a solution to this problem.

Thinking back to the business card in the office drawer, the initiative is still in my hands. As long as I feel the time is right and take the initiative to contact the Dongxia Space Agency, I will naturally know the truth of the matter.

If you think about it carefully, there is actually a lot of good news:

The technology for mechanical prostheses has been mastered, and it will be just a matter of time before my sister can stand up again.

The seven-day limit of the dream world has been successfully broken, and the record of the eighteenth day should be refreshed soon.

The identity of the monster chasing the bison herd is now clear, but we haven't figured out how to deal with it yet.

Unfortunately, there is also a lot of bad news:
The first thing to be affected was the change in the timeline in the real world. The one-hour delay made him anxious for the entire morning.

Furthermore, there has been no news about the signal sent to Earth after the radio station was upgraded, and it is not certain whether Earth has received it.

But this matter is just like the Werewolf. Taking the initiative to bring it up at this time is no different from self-destructing as a werewolf.

"Forget it, why think so much."

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly laughed at myself.

there's always a solution to any problem.

It was really inappropriate to be so worrying and self-pitying. It was as if he had suddenly become more timid since he confirmed the reality of the dream world.

I have survived alone in the dream world for so many years, but I didn't rely on scaring myself.

Blindly fearing the unknown will not solve any problems in the end. This is the experience he gained from so many years of survival alone.

The series of unknown events beyond his control made him a little unbalanced, but fortunately he has finally adjusted now.

If you are indecisive when encountering a problem, just act rashly and don't solve it if you can't solve it.

When the subway arrived at the station, he put away his phone and stood up.

There was only one thing he had to do right now, and that was to go to the company to help his sister make the mechanical prosthesis.

Today is the weekend.

There is no one in the company except the security guard.

Zhou Zheng went straight to the R&D workshop and headed straight for the 3D printer that the company had purchased at a high price.

Although our company is not large in scale, all the necessary hardware facilities are considered to be top-notch in the country.

Not to mention that after the last Xinxing Technology incident, Chenxi Technology, which has benefited from the incident, is showing a trend of moving towards becoming a first-tier company.

Only a fool would leave the ready-made resources unused and go out to buy them at a high price.

Buy a fine horse in the East Market and a saddle in the West Market.

Buy a bridle in the South Market and a whip in the North Market.

He's not a secret agent, and sneaking around like this will only attract more attention, right?

He had already made the 3D model at home, and now he just had to choose the material and start printing.

The only thing that requires special attention is probably the energy issue.

In fact, the general routes of alien technology and Earth technology are not much different. The only difference is that the other develops faster.

In some aspects, Earth's technology is even superior to that of aliens, otherwise the two sides wouldn't be able to integrate and upgrade each other. But there is only one thing that is completely unrelated.

--energy.

Unlike the basic energy sources on Earth, such as thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, etc., the energy solution of alien civilizations is those energy crystals.

Stable structure and powerful performance.

Not to mention the utilization rate!

Zhou Zheng made a rough calculation and found that only a thumb-sized energy crystal would be enough to cover his and his sister's electricity needs for five years.

Of course, this is not a fair comparison.

Because energy is divided into levels, electricity can only be considered a primary energy source, and energy crystals have at least obtained the third level of energy or even higher.

If we compare only in terms of energy, unless the Earth can really achieve controlled nuclear fusion, it can only win over alien civilizations in terms of energy.

This is an advantage of the parent star, just like the moon has a huge amount of helium-3 that is scarce on Earth.

Every planet has its own unique resources, so there is no need to envy others too much.

That's exactly the problem.

The energy solution adopted by those mechanical prostheses is energy crystal, which ensures that they can still be used freely after ten years.

There is no such incredible thing on Earth, so if Zhou Zheng wants the replica mechanical prosthesis to be used normally, he must develop an alternative energy solution.

The huge 3D printing equipment started to operate.

The consumables are melted and reconstructed inside the chassis according to the model plan.

"what is this?"

Su Yunan has never had the habit of wearing high heels, so she makes no sound when she walks.

In addition, Zhou Zheng was so focused on the design drawing in front of him that he didn't notice Su Yunnan until she walked to the 3D printer.

This is just great,

He was caught by his boss using public property for personal purposes, and even he, who was thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush.

"It's a prosthetic limb."

After thinking briefly for two seconds, Zhou Zheng looked at the mechanical prosthesis being printed and gave a localized translation.

Mechanical prostheses are a bit too shocking for the current technology on Earth, while prosthetic limbs sound much more normal.

Anyway, these two things are almost the same in appearance and function, and most people can't tell the difference.

"Is it for Zhou Ke?"

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Zheng say this, Su Yunnan nodded without any doubt and continued to ask.

"Yes, I recently came up with a new idea."

Zhou Zheng closed his computer and shrugged: "I hope it works well."

A medical professional and chief designer, he also develops robots at an artificial intelligence company.

With all the buffs stacked up, it was only too reasonable for him to design a prosthetic limb.

It was so reasonable that Su Yunan was not surprised at all to hear this answer. After all, the model in the printer had already taken shape.

Everyone in the company knows Zhou Ke.

During the winter and summer vacations, there was no one to take care of his younger sister and his hometown was too far away, so Zhou Zheng would bring her to the company to take care of her.

In addition to Zhou Ke's likable personality, everyone in the company loves this poor little girl.

Su Yunan had come over to take a look after hearing the noise, but after hearing this, she decided not to leave.

He picked up a chair and sat aside, as if he had thought of something, quietly watching the "prosthesis" being printed in the machine.

Eyes full of anticipation...
