Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

[Falushan: Hmm, call me senior, and say it loudly!]

Paimon: This guy's at it again.

[Kavi: Farusan? That name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it.]

[Erhesen: An Introduction to Classical Mechanical Engineering]

[Kavi: ?! Wasn't that over a hundred years ago?]

[Falusian: So it's not too much for you to call me senior, is it?]

(Other old folks: A hundred years? That's it?)

In the video, Paimon, taking advantage of his ability to fly, quickly found a new videotape.

Call Tina and Yingmei over.

"Look, look! I found a new videotape! It even has a date on it, let me see... it looks like it's from about six months ago!"

"Time has moved forward quite a bit. What has happened during this time...?"

Tina turned on the videotape, and the video began to play.

Chapter 55 The Experiment That Made No Progress

In the video, Kakata appears to be malfunctioning, and Abatui is fixing it.

"I never expected that you would also cause a malfunction due to operational errors."

"It seems that making coffee is still a bit difficult for you, or is there something wrong with my settings?"

Kakata made a hoarse sound, "Gurgle gurgle."

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious and it was fixed quickly.

"Gululu?"

"Water got into the pincers, causing a short circuit in the wiring, and they can't receive signals from the crab's brain..."

Abatui was seriously analyzing the problem when he suddenly realized that the other party seemed not to understand.

He then shook his head. "Look at me, even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand, would you?"

"It's okay, I replaced the part for you, and you're fine now."

"Let's move around a bit and see if there's anything you're not used to?"

Kakata moved the crab legs as instructed.

It seems to be completely repaired.

Abatui gave a wry smile, "Be careful next time! We're short on funds lately, and we don't have many spare parts or energy left."

[Nasita: It seems they used a ley line extraction device because of budget constraints.]

[Kavi: After all, it's prohibited research; it's impossible to get funding for it, right?]

[Falusian: That kind of dedication is commendable]

[Tinari: It would be even better if we didn't damage the ley lines.]

[Ying: You guys didn't already go looking for that cave, did you? That person is probably still alive and well.]

[Sino: ...]

on the screen.

Abatuyi brought this frustrating topic to a close.

"Do you know what Kakata is like? I had a dream yesterday that you could talk."

"Those people at the Order of the Order, weren't they always saying things like 'mechanical intelligence is just an extension of statistics'? They were all stunned to see you could chat with me."

However, reality is cruel; Kakata's only reply to him is always the same one sentence.

"Gululu?"

"Alas, it was just a dream."

"Looking at your carefree attitude, you wouldn't even notice anything amiss, let alone chat with me. Even if I were gone one day, you probably wouldn't notice anything strange."

"Forget it, let's think about how to solve the energy problem next month first."

The video ends.

[Luminous: Paimon, do you remember what I called this?]

Paimon: Planting a flag?

[Ying: That's right]

At this moment, in the laboratory.

Abatui has been able to determine his current point in time.

That was recorded by myself last month, and the solution is the earth vein extraction device.

They plan to use the earth's veins to provide energy to Kakata.

Incidentally, they sold the failed research device to make money.

on the screen.

Tinari: "After Abtuyi left the Papal House, he disappeared without a trace."

"At the time, I thought he was disheartened and had given up on his research into mechanical life. I never expected that he had been hiding here all along, continuing his experiments."

Paimon: "He doesn't seem like a bad person. He even helped Kakata replace broken parts. Why did he set his sights on the ley lines?"

Ying: "He said there wasn't enough energy, so could this ley line extraction device be used to provide energy for Kakata?"

"Let's look again."

The group searched according to the numbers and quickly found the last two videos, but the handwriting on them was very messy.

Perhaps Abatui's condition is no longer quite right.

There was also a videotape without a date, and its placement was strange, unlike what Abtuyi would have put there.

"Maybe Kakata helped tidy it up?"

"I don't know, but these are the last two videotapes. Let's take a look together."

Amber: I agree with Paimon; Mr. Abatui doesn't seem like a bad person.

[Hu Tao: He's quite nice to that Kakata too.]

[Kaiya: You'll know after you watch it. There are only two videos left. Maybe his personality has suddenly changed.]

Video recording.

Abatui was staring blankly at the three ley line extraction devices.

This decision was too risky, but there was no other way.

"Gululu?"

Kakata approached from behind and tried to call out to him.

But the latter seemed lost in his own thoughts and did not respond.

"Gulu!"

Abatui then realized what was happening. "Sorry, Kakata, I was just thinking about something. Today might be a special day for me."

His physical condition is very poor now, and his voice is weak and feeble.

In the previous video, he was still able to joke with Kakata, but now, all that's left on his face is worry.

"In the recent experiment, I successfully added the instinct for life to you."

"When energy is insufficient or parts are damaged, you will prioritize executing the 'survival' command, proactively replenishing energy and replacing parts."

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: So, the experiment still failed. Kakata's search for parts was merely a survival command, not a result of autonomous thinking.]

[Erhesen: Very likely. It seems we overestimated this mechanical crab.]

[Paimon: But why didn't Kakata install the parts he took?]

[Nilu: Yeah, it's already broken and doesn't have enough energy.]

Video recording.

“That was very dangerous. And today, I did something even more dangerous.”

"Gululu?"

"I have officially launched the third-generation earth vein extraction machine, using earth veins as our future energy source."

"Developing mechanical life requires a lot of energy. Even if I save every penny, the money I have is far from enough."

The decision to activate these dangerous devices indicates that Abatui's mental state has indeed deteriorated.

"I get tired too, Kakata. After all this time, I don't know what's driving me forward anymore."

"They say that even if you simulate the functioning of biological organs, machines are still cold, lifeless tools. I want to prove them wrong, I want to turn you into living, breathing beings that can hear and speak..."

"Gulu!"

Looking at Kakata's appearance, Abatuyi became increasingly doubtful of himself.

"I won't tell you anything happy anymore, Kakata..."

"Language module, emotion module, action module... I have tried and tried my best to enrich and improve your functions, but I have never received any effective response."

"You are the most special one among all my achievements, but even you cannot understand me and can only give limited feedback to my pre-set instructions or keywords."

Abatui paced back and forth in the laboratory, his tone almost desperate.

"Kakata, even just once, I so wish you would just say something to me..."

"Gululu?"

"Yes. You don't understand, and you can't answer me."

"That's it. In a few days, I'll sell the failed ley line extraction machine and use the money to continue the experiment. We have to keep going; I have no other choice."

The video ends.
