Starry Sky Railway: People on the train, nine to five

Strange.

How strange.

How could there be no movement at all?

After Zhou Xiao transformed another automatic robot in the mechanical settlement, he sat on the steps of Svaro's castle and fell into deep thought.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, you are really awesome. Clara admires you." Clara, wearing a red coat, stood barefoot beside Zhou Xiao, looking at him with admiration.

With the addition of Zhou Xiao to the mechanical settlement these days, a group of automatic robots with broken mechanical bodies have been repaired and partially modified.

Zhou Xiao's repair technology requires fewer metal parts, so the number of automatic robots that can be repaired will naturally increase.

The miraculous mechanical transformation technology made a group of automatic soldiers shout "3q, Doctor Zhou".

"What do you admire?" Zhou Xiao, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked at Clara and asked.

"I admire you big brother for being able to wake up so many friends..." Clara said excitedly.

After spending a few days together, Clara's vigilance towards Zhou Xiao had obviously decreased a lot, and she gradually began to regard Zhou Xiao as a "family member" of the mechanical settlement.

"That's nothing..." Zhou Xiao stood up from the steps, stretched his body, and then prepared to leave the mechanical settlement. He came to the mechanical settlement at a fixed time every day to "practice".

"Thank you, Doctor Zhou Xiao..."

The automatic robot not far away went through a wave of self-check logic modules, and then slowly thanked Zhou Xiao in that mechanical voice.

The problem with this automatic robot is that its left and right mechanical legs are scrapped. After Zhou Xiao's modification, it now has eight mechanical legs and is very stable.

It's no problem if one or two are missing.

...

Being thanked by the automated soldiers was a sound Zhou Xiao had heard quite often recently, making him feel as if he was providing free medical treatment.

Doctor Cyber?

Such a title suddenly occurred to Zhou Xiao's mind.

Pure idiot.

...

"Let's go." Zhou Xiao patted his butt and prepared to leave. Before he took two steps, Swarovski's voice rang out and called him.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao..."

"?"

When Zhou Xiao heard Swarovski calling him, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"whats the matter?"

"I want to...talk to you about a problem." Swarovski spoke straight to the point.

"?"

Zhou Xiao felt helpless when he heard Swarovski's request.

During the days in the mechanical settlement, Swarovski would come to him to discuss some issues almost every few days.

The purpose is to see the impact of variables on big data analysis.

...

After a moment.

Swarovski sat down opposite Zhou Xiao and stated the topic of this discussion:

"The question we're discussing today is... how to preserve the suburbs."

...

ps: Please support me~

Chapter 31 Lord Dark Hook!

Well known.

The current outside temperature of Yalilo VI is extremely cold and not suitable for human survival. The city builders built the last city of Beloberg with the will to preserve it.

But according to Swarovski's data, the temperature in the city of Beloberg is gradually decreasing, and the earth marrow resources in the lower area are also decreasing.

The ultimate result may be that the lower level areas cannot survive.

...

"Based on the current known reserves of earth marrow in the lower area and the average consumption of earth marrow in recent years, it can support the lower layer for one hundred and seventy-five days, with an error of no more than three months..." Svarro analyzed using big data.

"By then, everything above and below ground will be completely sealed in ice."

Hearing Swarovski's question, Zhou Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and recalled the plot in the original book.

"You can just seal the star core, solve the source of the cold wave and protect the lower area."

"Star core?"

Hearing this special term, Swarovski called up the data about star cores in the database.

He didn't know whether the star core was related to the cold wave. According to his database, the previous batch of city builders had been studying the star core but in the end nothing came of it.

"How to seal the star core is a problem I cannot give a solution to." Svaro's mechanical voice sounded slowly.

"As long as you take out sixty Star Qiong, someone will come to seal it..."

"What do you mean?"

"Ah, you don't understand the gag. You forgot it."

...

The conversation with Swarovski did not last long, and Zhou Xiao walked towards the Goethe Hotel.

"Big brother."

Before Zhou Xiao walked into the hotel, Xiao Hao came jogging to the hotel entrance, holding something in his hand. He seemed to be unsteady on his feet and was limping a bit when he jogged.

"It's you..." Zhou Xiao was not too surprised to see Xiao Hao.

These days, Xiao Hao often comes to Zhou Xiao, this "good guy", with what he thinks are delicious food and drinks from the lower class area. The food is not expensive, just some snacks.

Sitting on the steps outside the Goethe Hotel, Xiao Hao handed Zhou Xiao a piece of the yellow-brown crystal in his hand and said:

"Sugar, big brother, please try it."

Zhou Xiao took it and saw a bruise on the short section of Xiao Hao's forearm under the miner's suit.

"A fight?"

Hearing the word "fight", Xiao Hao's expression became a little unnatural, and he said hurriedly: "No way... we just bumped into each other in the mining area."

"Be more careful. If you can't do it, don't pick it up. Find another job."

"I have found a new job in..."

Zhou Xiao didn't hear clearly what Xiao Hao said next. He licked the crystal in his hand.

It didn't taste sweet at all, but rather bitter, which immediately made him frown. He looked at Xiao Hao.

“Is this candy?”

"Yeah..." Xiao Hao licked another crystal in his hand with some doubt and found that the taste was completely different from when he first bought it.

"How could this happen..." Xiao Hao was slightly stunned. His intuition told him that he seemed to have been cheated.

"where did you buy it?"

"The mining area...under the mining area." Xiao Hao answered: "I bought it from an old man. He said it was a special sugar crystal...I even tasted it."

Eh.

Zhou Xiao sighed silently.

The little Hao in front of me is really too trusting of others. This may be the innocence and kindness of children.

Based on his contact with Xiao Hao in the past few days, he found that Xiao Hao wanted to help any person or creature that Xiao Hao felt was pitiful...

Although his own life is not as he wished, he cannot bear to see the sufferings in the world.

A child who grew up in an orphanage with both his parents gone had to make a living at a young age. He picked up crystals in the mining area, but couldn't sell a single one in half a day...

Even if he eats less, he will help the little wild cats that pass by and ask for food...

In the chaotic environment of the lower zone, the young boy is like a lamb, and he may be torn apart by the wolves of the lower zone at any time...

Xiao Hao's left eye became blind because he trusted strangers too easily.

Seeing that Xiao Hao was a little depressed, Zhou Xiao was silent for a second, then touched Xiao Hao's head:

"Come on, I'll take you to buy some candy."

Well, there were only limited ways Zhou Xiao could help Xiao Hao. He just bought the crystals that Xiao Hao picked up, took Xiao Hao to eat something, gave him a bath, and so on.

As for further help, he could only say that it was unlikely that he would do so. Firstly, he was not a very helpful person, and secondly, he didn't know how many days he could stay in Yalilo 6. Being in darkness was more despairing than seeing a ray of light in the darkness and then falling into darkness again.

...

"Big brother...is there anything you like?"

While walking on the road, Xiao Hao suddenly asked this question.

"Things?" Zhou Xiao shook his head when he heard that. "I don't like anything. If I do like anything, it's probably just some small amount of money."

"Money..." Xiao Hao scratched his head, then smiled foolishly: "I like it too... With money, I can do a lot of things..."

"Hey? Lord Dark Hook!" Little Hao suddenly shouted towards the child not far away as if he saw someone.

Hearing the voice, Lord Darkhook turned around, saw Xiao Hao and waved:

"Knight Hao of Stone!"

Stone Knight...?

Zhou Xiao said that this name is too childish and will easily lead to social failure, and only people of Xiao Hao and Hu Ke's age can say it.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Knight Hao of Stone." Hook walked over with several of his "men".

"This adult who doesn't look like a good person... is he the Zhou... the good man Zhou Xiao you mentioned?"

Hook pinched his waist and looked up at Zhou Xiao.

"..."

"Yes, Lord Dark Hook." Xiao Hao was happy to see Hook.

The reason he knew Hook was because Hook had protected him when he was bullied, so he easily joined the Mole Gang founded by Hook.

It’s just that Xiao Hao usually has his own things to do and usually doesn’t participate in the Mole Party’s adventures.

Hook looked Zhou Xiao up and down several times, then said:

"Very good, you have my approval... I now allow you to be friends with Knight Hao of Stone."

"Since you are a friend of Knight Hao of Stone, you are also a friend of the Mole Party. I have to give you a nice title..."

Hook stroked his chin, racked his brains to think, and then uttered a six-word title.

"Grim Owl Knight!"

"..."

Upon hearing this title, Zhou Xiao's expression became like the expression of the old man on the subway looking at his phone, with a lot of black lines on his forehead.

"Don't give people random titles!"

...

Chapter 32: Just one cut!

No matter how Zhou Xiao objected, the name of the Grim Owl Knight was remembered by the kid Hook, and in the days that followed, whenever Hook saw Zhou Xiao, he would call him the Grim Owl Knight.

A few days passed in a flash, and Zhou Xiao still didn't wait for San Yueqi and others to come to the lower area. Instead, he established a certain contact with the train through Swarovski's modified auditory receiving transmitting unit and receiving unit.

"We have received radio signals from outside the planet..." When Svaro's mechanical voice sounded, Zhou Xiao, who was squatting nearby, slowly stood up.

"This is logistics officer Zhou Xiao. Can the train crew receive my message?" Zhou Xiao used the receiving and transmitting unit to send out an electronic signal that could be deciphered by the train crew.

Not long after this message was sent, Swarovski received an electronic signal of the same frequency.
