019: New Home's Brain (Thanks to "Chiyan D Mingwang" for the reward, this chapter is an extra update for you)

"Achoo~"

Guo Yi, sitting in the car, suddenly shivered and sneezed.

"Are you catching a cold?" the medic asked immediately, reaching out to take Guo Yi's pulse.

Guo Yi, however, directly slapped the medic's hand away, rubbed his nose, and said dejectedly, "I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a bit creeped out.

It feels like someone wants to harm me..."

"Haha, what kind of place do you think this is?" Ostrich burst into laughter upon hearing Guo Yi's words. "This is our territory, our stronghold!

Someone here wants to harm you?

You must be out of your mind."

Leng Feng nodded and added, "Let's not talk about them. With us, the War Wolves, here, who would dare show their face?"

Ostrich, hearing Leng Feng's self-praise, argued back in disagreement...

The group chatted and bantered, teasing each other.

After a long while, Xiao Zhuang, driving the armored vehicle, interrupted their conversation from behind and drove down a hidden entrance. "We're here."

When they got out of the car, they found Elder Zhou, the others, and He Zhijun already waiting for them.

Guo Yi's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the elderly people. He quickly rushed forward, supporting Elder Zhou with his left hand and Elder Zhao with his right. His eyes darted apologetically towards the other elders, and he complained non-stop, "What's going on?

Why are these idols waiting for me here?

Are you kidding me!"

He Zhijun and the secretary behind the elders shook their heads at Guo Yi with a mixture of amusement and helplessness. "If you think you can do better, you do it!

It's not like we could have forced them to come back with us..."

Elder Zhou looked at Guo Yi in front of him, his eyes crinkling into a smile. "You're finally here.

How is it, this place hasn't disappointed you, has it?"

"Mhm, mhm~" Guo Yi nodded, his eyes shining as he surveyed the surroundings. "It's much better than I imagined!

This environment, this style, these facilities, they truly befit cosmic technology~

My old place, no matter how I looked at it, didn't seem like a proper research facility!"

"Let's go, we can talk as we walk," Elder Zhou nodded, then gently pulled away from Guo Yi's support and strode forward. "I'm still quite spry, no need for assistance."

Elder Zhao chimed in, "You go help the older ones behind you!"

Guo Yi turned to look at the elderly couple with slightly bent backs, the biology and medicine expert Elder Lin, and the fire control and tank expert Elder Xue.

As it turned out, Elder Lin proactively walked over to Guo Yi's side, patted his shoulder, and said, "We old folks are still in good health, no need for this!"

Then, he took Guo Yi's hand, and as they walked, he kindly chatted with Guo Yi, saying, "You're even more handsome and radiant than in your photos!

A fine young man!

The future lies with young people like you; you are the nation's future!"

"Yes, seeing you really makes me feel old," Elder Xue said kindly, walking beside Guo Yi. "But don't be too nervous; we old guys are still healthy.

We can still protect you for a while, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Of course, don't slack off just because we're protecting you!

As a person, you must act with a clear conscience!

As for work, you must give it your all!"

"Speaking of which, you have a gravity control system on hand, and there are some points I don't quite understand. We should discuss them properly later..."

"Mhm, and for me too.

Regarding the derivative materials of E-carbon, based on the data you provided, there should be a few more types. Why haven't you developed them?"

"..."

Surrounded by the elders, Guo Yi watched as their concern for him gradually shifted into discussions about various academic subjects, and he was filled with joy.

Finally, he had people to talk to, and at the same time, he felt immense admiration for these elders.

They had dedicated their lives to the country and its people.

This saying was embodied in them to the fullest extent.

At the same time, the fact that he could live so peacefully up to this point was largely due to the contributions of these elders!

However, just as Guo Yi and the elders were engrossed in their lively conversation, He Zhijun interrupted them. Standing in the elevator, he looked at Guo Yi and asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go first?"

"Let's go to the information hub first," Guo Yi said without hesitation. "We need to get Doggy moved first. That way, the entire factory can be considered officially operational.

Without Doggy's control, I feel it's very inconvenient."

"Understood," He Zhijun nodded, pressed the elevator button, and then, along with the elders, watched Guo Yi's footsteps as Doggy followed.

Doggy's electronic eyes scanned everyone present, then suddenly and firmly shouted at Guo Yi, "To protect the physical and mental health of minors, Decree No. 364 of a certain institution promulgated the 'Regulations on the Prohibition of Child Labor,' prohibiting employers from hiring minors under the age of 16.

According to the regulations, employers, including state organs, social organizations, enterprises and institutions, privately non-enterprise units, and individual industrial and commercial households, are all prohibited from hiring minors under the age of 16, which constitutes child labor;"

It is also prohibited for any unit or individual to introduce employment to minors under 16 years of age, and minors under 16 years of age are prohibited from starting individual business activities.

For minors under 16 years of age, their parents or other guardians have the obligation to ensure they are not illegally recruited by employers. Employers must also verify the identification of those they hire. Labor and social security administrative departments, public security, industry and commerce administration, education, health, and other administrative departments at or above the county level, as well as mass organizations such as trade unions, the Communist Youth League, and women's federations, have related obligations.

You are not a qualified parent, I am not even ten years old!

You actually want me to work as child labor!"

"..."

When Elder Zhou and the others heard Doggy's words, their eyes lit up.

Is this strong artificial intelligence?

It's so amazing and fun!

Guo Yi's face darkened, especially when he heard Ostrich chuckling "puchi puchi" beside him.

Unable to stand it any longer, Guo Yi skillfully picked up Doggy, held it up, and shook it violently, "I'll make you wake up, your logic doesn't flow smoothly unless I shake you, right?"

"Ouch~"

Computer expert Elder Tan let out a scream when he saw Guo Yi's actions, and nervously snatched Doggy from Guo Yi's hands, "It's still a child, you can't scold and hit it like this!"

Then, Elder Tan petted Doggy and said to it gently, "Don't be scared, good child, be good~

We are not using child labor..."

Guo Yi held his empty hands up and looked helplessly at Elder Tan, who had clearly gotten lost in his own world.

Then, he turned and looked at the others with a wronged expression, "This..."

"Haha~" Elder Zhao looked at Guo Yi, who seemed like he had made a mistake and was waiting to be scolded, and happily explained to Guo Yi, "It's okay.

Brother Tan is just excited by what he sees. He had some projects related to artificial intelligence before.

Now that he sees Doggy's strong AI, he's naturally thrilled!"

"..."

The group, chatting and laughing, arrived at the ninth floor.

Everyone watched as Guo Yi stood before a massive cylindrical object.

The cylinder, illuminated by the lights, emitted a dark glow, like a pitch-black pillar reaching the heavens.

In front of the cylinder was a huge operating console.

There was also a circular recess on the console.

Guo Yi directly lifted Doggy with one hand and roughly pushed it into the recess.

Elder Tan, watching Guo Yi's actions, suddenly felt a pang in his chest: that was strong artificial intelligence!

As Doggy was half-inserted, its electronic eyes began to flicker continuously.

And the surface of the pitch-black cylinder began to emit a faint blue light from bottom to top.

At the same time, everyone present felt as if the entire ninth floor had come alive.

The surrounding machines started to hum after Doggy was placed in the recess, and then returned to silence.

Everyone looked around in amazement, and Guo Yi, seeing their surprised expressions, couldn't help but curl his lips upwards, "Factory Zero is officially activated!"

Thank you to the great "Crimson Flame D Pluto" for the reward!

I should have updated several more chapters to express my gratitude...

But I'm truly drained...

My apologies!
