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

"Achoo!"

Guo Yi was sitting in the car when he suddenly shivered and sneezed.

"Are you catching a cold?" Medic asked immediately, reaching out to check Guo Yi's pulse.

Guo Yi directly swatted Medic's hand away, rubbed his nose, and said gloomily, "I don't know why, but I suddenly got the creeps.

I always feel like someone is out to get me..."

"Ha, what kind of place is this?" Ostrich laughed out loud when he heard Guo Yi. "This is our turf, our home base!

Is there really someone here who wants to get you?

You must have lost your mind."

Leng Feng nodded and chimed in, "Let's forget about them. With us War Wolf here, who has the guts to pop up?"

Hearing Leng Feng's boast, Ostrich unconvincingly started arguing with him...

Everyone chatted and laughed, teasing one another.

After a long while, Xiao Zhuang drove the armored vehicle, interrupted the chatter in the back, and steered it down a hidden entrance: "We're here."

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

Guo Yi looked at the elderly people, his mouth dropping open in surprise, then he hurriedly rushed over, supporting Elder Zhou with his left hand and Elder Zhao with his right, looking at the other elders with apologetic eyes and complaining incessantly, "What's wrong with you all?

Why are you letting these idols wait for me here?

Are you kidding me?"

He Zhijun and the secretary behind the elders smiled wryly and shook their heads at Guo Yi: "You think you can do better?

It's like you think we'd dare to forcefully drag them back..."

Elder Zhou looked at Guo Yi in front of him, his eyes crinkling into slits from smiling: "You're finally here.

Well, this place didn't disappoint you, did it?"

"Mm-hmm~" Guo Yi nodded, his eyes shining as he looked around. "It's much better than I imagined!

This environment, this style, and these facilities are worthy of space technology~

That place I had before looked nothing like a serious research facility no matter how I-looked at it!"

"Let's go, we can talk as we walk." Elder Zhou nodded, then broke away from Guo Yi's grip and strode forward: "My body is still tough, I don't need any support."

Elder Zhao was the same: "Go support the older ones behind us!"

Guo Yi turned his head to look at the slightly hunched older woman and man: biology and medical expert Elder Lin, and fire control and tank expert Elder Xue.

As it turned out, Elder Lin proactively walked over to Guo Yi and patted his shoulder: "We old timers are still in good shape, no need for that!"

Then, she took Guo Yi's hand, walking alongside him while chatting kindly and casually: "You're more handsome and sunny than in the photos!

You're a good young man!

The future lies in the hands of young men like you; you are the future of the country!"

"Yeah, seeing you really makes me feel old." Elder Xue walked beside Guo Yi and also said kindly, "Don't be too nervous, though; we old timers are still tough.

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

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

As a person, you must strive to have a clear conscience!

In your work, you must give it your all!"

"By the way, you have a set of the gravity control system on hand. There are still some points I don't understand, so let's have a good discussion about them later..."

"Oh, and me too.

As for the E-Carbon derivative materials, looking at the data you provided, there should be a few more. Why haven't you made them yet?"

"..."

Surrounded by the elders, Guo Yi watched them shift from showing care for him to discussing various academic subjects, and he was filled with joy.

He finally had people he could talk to, and at the same time, his heart was filled with immense respect for these elders.

A lifelong dedication, for the country and the people.

This sentence was vividly and thoroughly embodied in them.

At the same time, a large part of the reason he could live so comfortably until now was precisely because of the dedication of these elders!

However, just as Guo Yi and the elders were chatting away enthusiastically, He Zhijun interrupted their topic, standing in the elevator and looking at Guo Yi: "Is there anywhere you want to go first?"

"Let's go to the information hub first," Guo Yi said without hesitation. "Let Doggie move house first so that the entire factory can be considered officially started.

Otherwise, without Doggie's control, I always feel it's very inconvenient."

"Mmm." He Zhijun nodded, pressed the elevator button, and then joined the elders in watching Doggie at Guo Yi's feet.

Doggie's electronic eye scanned everyone present, and suddenly it resolutely shouted at Guo Yi, "To protect the physical and mental health of minors, the State Council Decree No. 364 promulgated the 'Provisions on the Prohibition of Child Labor,' prohibiting employers from recruiting minors under the age of 16.

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

At the same time, it is prohibited for any unit or individual to introduce employment to minors under the age of 16, and minors under the age of 16 are prohibited from opening businesses to engage in individual business activities.

Under 16 years of age, the parents or other guardians of a minor have the obligation to ensure that they are not illegally recruited by employers. Employers must also check the ID cards of recruited personnel when hiring. Labor security administrative departments of local people's governments at or above the county level, public security, administrative departments for industry and commerce, education, health and other administrative departments, as well as mass organizations such as trade unions, the Communist Youth League, and the Women's Federation, bear relevant obligations.

You are not a qualified parent, and I am not even ten years old since my birth!

You are actually making me do child labor!"

"..."

When Elder Zhou and the others heard what Doggie said, everyone's eyes lit up.

This was a Strong Artificial Intelligence robot?

It was so magical and fun!

Guo Yi's face darkened, especially when he heard Ostrich snickering nearby with a "pfft, pfft" sound.

Unable to bear it any longer, Guo Yi very familiarly grabbed Doggie, lifted it up, and shook it desperately: "I'll wake you up. Does your logic not work unless it gets shaken?"

"Ouch~"

Computer expert Elder Tan let out a miserable cry when he saw Guo Yi's action, and nervously snatched Doggie away from Guo Yi's hands: "It's still a child, you can't just hit and scold it like this!"

Then, Elder Tan stroked Doggie and said to it gently, "Good child, don't be afraid, be a good boy~

We're not using child labor..."

Guo Yi held the empty air and looked with a helpless expression at Elder Tan, who had clearly fallen into his own world.

Then, he turned his head and looked aggrievedly at the others: "This..."

"Haha~" Elder Zhao looked at Guo Yi, who looked as if he had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded, and cheerfully explained to him: "It's fine.

Elder Tan is just like a hunter who has spotted exciting prey; he used to have some projects related to artificial intelligence in his hands.

Now that he sees Doggie's Strong Artificial Intelligence, he's definitely excited!"

"..."

The group of people arrived at the ninth floor chatting and laughing.

Everyone watched as Guo Yi stood in front of a huge cylinder.

Under the illumination of the lights, the cylinder emitted a black luster, resembling a pitch-black pillar reaching up to the heavens.

In front of the cylinder stood a huge operating console.

At the same time, there was a circular indentation on the console.

Guo Yi picked up Doggie with one hand and crudely pressed it into the indentation.

Elder Tan, watching Guo Yi's action, suddenly felt a pang in his heart: that was Strong Artificial Intelligence!

As half of Doggie's body went in, its electronic eyes began to flash incessantly.

Then, the surface of that pitch-black cylinder began to slowly emit a pale blue ghostly light from the bottom up.

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

The surrounding machines began to hum after Doggie entered the pit, and then returned to silence.

Everyone looked around in amazement, and when Guo Yi saw the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Factory Zero is officially launched!"

Thanks to the big donor "Chi Yan D Ming Wang" for the tip!

I should have updated a few more chapters to express my gratitude...

But I'm really being squeezed dry...

I am deeply sorry!
