Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 20 Boys' Personal Robot, New

The sun chases the night, and when it sets below the sea level, the lighthouse lights up on time.

Fishing boats sailed out to sea without worry. Smoke rose from the homes of workers returning home late from their morning shifts. The blue smoke blended into the gray-purple night sky, disappearing into the black dome where the stars resided. Children happily rushed home for dinner, leaving the streets empty. It was another ordinary day in Shita Town.

Lin Bo lowered the crank that turned the rewinding spring, and the Fresnel lens in the overhead light chamber began to rotate slowly. The hum of the incandescent lamp and the hum of the generator kept telling the mage about the health of the filament and the consumption of whale oil.

He listened carefully for a while and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the light bulb and the generator, so he felt relieved.

Long nights are perfect for absorbing knowledge. Such night readings always leave Lin Bo feeling somewhat quiet and reminiscent of the days when Old Tim was still around.

But since he had the ability to listen to everything, he suddenly had many more companions, many companions that only he knew about.

If he told others about his experience, anyone in Stone Tower Town who knew that he could understand the words of the wind and waves would definitely sigh: Another mad night watchman.

The work of dismantling the wreckage of the Sword Guard is still in progress.

The body design of this model is quite mature, and many structures are reserved for easy disassembly. There is no need to use chisels, electric saws and other tools to violently disassemble it. Just use a screwdriver and a wrench to slowly pry it open, which feels like peeling an onion layer by layer.

Lin Bo found that injuries to roughly the same parts of the body would not provide him with repeated skill proficiency because they were too easy to identify. However, he personally inflicted the fatal injuries on the three sword guards, and the injuries were in almost the same parts of the body, resulting in the proficiency provided by the last two being lower than expected.

After finally dismantling the three wreckages, his proficiency in endoscopic techniques reached 54.6, which was 5.4 away from upgrading. Seeing that it was already late at night, he still had to put the machines back together, so Lin Bo did not find another piece of scrap to practice his skills.

The internal parts of the Sword Guard were all laid out on the ground, and he referred to the book and marked the functions of each key component.

There are many components that only have simple schematic diagrams in books, which are very different from the complex real objects. When mechanics encounter this situation, most of them can only rely on guessing, first making a guess, then carefully verifying it, and finally summarizing the experience.

Lin Bo's approach is quite different. After all, he is a spellcaster. When encountering such a situation, he does not follow the scientific methodology. Instead, he directly uses the ability of listening to all things to communicate with the components and listen to what it says.

What these parts say themselves is quite authoritative, and they can tell you specifically what they do and what functions they are responsible for, whether it is transmission, self-correction, data caching, or calculation.

The memories of these past movements, which remain on the components in the form of scratches, wear, and aging, are their language and the basis for Lin Bo's inferences.

Not every component will speak, and the deep silence is not so easy to open. On the one hand, his level of tactile endoscopy is still too low, and on the other hand, these components are seriously damaged, which is Lin Bo's own fault.

Many spellcasters use similar methods to learn secrets, especially prophecy spellcasters. They often communicate through the magic network, and even ask various gods, quasi-divine powers, spirits, and demons to inquire about the secrets of certain things.

The fifth-ring prophecy spell "Legends" is an example. By naming a certain thing, the spell will describe important rumors about the thing to the caster, including some details, secrets, etc.

However, a common problem with divination spells is that the information they receive is rather vague. Sometimes the prophecy is just a piece of incomprehensible poetry or a mumbling motto, and the specific meaning needs to be guessed by the caster.

The information obtained by the True Name Mage's All Things Listening is first-hand information. Because it has not been relayed by other beings, it is very clear, making it convenient for Lin Bo to make judgments.

Once he has catalogued every component of the three sword guards and selected the usable parts, he can try to repair them.

Before we start, we have to find someone to purchase some of the damaged parts because there are no replacements available.

[Lighthouse Operator]: I want to buy some components for the Type VII Mechanical Guard. Do you have a quote?
[Picking up trash makes me happy]: Good morning! Another energetic day. How was your rest? Did you stay up all night disassembling the machine? (smirk)
[Lighthouse Guest]: I thought you could tell what I do from my nickname. I don't sleep at night. Also, the disassembly went smoothly, congratulations on starting another energetic day! [Trash Collector]: Just working for the gamers. Oh well, I can't help it, I'm too famous, my orders are booked until next month. Send me pictures of the parts you need first, then I'll wash my face and go find them for you in the warehouse.
Lin Bo only planned to assemble a complete sword guard by gathering the bits and pieces from the three wreckages, and in the end there were only twenty-seven parts that needed to be replaced.

Considering that the Sword Guard model is relatively rare, the price quote for the corresponding parts is naturally higher than that for miscellaneous soldiers, and it cost him a total of 8 disaster coins.

In addition to replacing damaged parts, the most important thing is the intelligent core, which requires professionals to overwrite the system and modify the permissions. Otherwise, once the power is turned on after installation, Jianwei will immediately jump up and fight Lin Bo to the death.

Rewriting the intelligent system was not a big deal for [Garbage Pickup], and it also gave Lin Bo several options to install different operating systems on the Sword Guard's intelligent core.

[Lighthouse Guest]: What are the differences between these operating systems?
[Picking up trash makes me happy]: The operating system is equivalent to the soul of the machine. Different models have different preferences, such as butler, servant, guard, lover, etc., depending on what you need.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Which is the cheapest operating system?

[Picking up trash]: (sweating) It's just a reinstall of the original system, turning it into a baby, without any pre-installed functions, so it doesn't cost money.

[Lighthouse Guest]: This is it.

[Picking up trash]: (stingy) (contempt)

[Lighthouse Guest]: (Smiling)

After the preliminary preparations were completed, Lin Bo officially began to work, splicing and assembling the internal components, and hammering away at some uneven parts of the outer shell. He was busy from the late night until dawn.

The lighthouse went out.

In the mechanical room on the third floor, the generator no longer hums, but the rotating device still has the last bit of spring to release.

Standing among the mechanical parts on the ground, a tall metal figure was bathed in the sunlight filtering in through the window, and the mottled silver-white paint on its surface spread out a milky light mist.

Lin Bo, his hands covered in sticky engine oil, pressed the manual switch and heard the various parts of the machine begin to buzz and activate, as if the hibernating forest was welcoming flocks of birds again in early spring. Only then did he reinstall the maintenance cover.

"Beep—system self-test starting...Self-test completed."

After completing the self-inspection, the Sword Guard stood there in a daze. Just as the netizen [捡垃圾] said, the reinstalled system did not have any advanced pre-installed programs, but only the most basic functions, collecting surrounding information, comparing databases, and conducting deep learning, just like a baby that constantly absorbs nutrition to grow.

All we can say is that the future is promising. As for now, it is no different from the full-body plate armor in the corridors of Hogwarts Castle. It can be regarded as an interesting decoration.

Lin Bo took two steps back and admired the fruits of his labor. For the sake of convenience, he mentally gave this guy a nickname, Iron Guard.

This is just a practice. As long as it can be activated, it will be a success. As for asking this mechanical guard to do more things, Lin Bo has no such idea for the time being.

Even if he wanted to chat with the robot to relieve his boredom, he first had to learn its system language before he could communicate. At present, it seemed that Tiewei only knew how to repeat a few words and was by no means a qualified language teacher.
