Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

In the TPC research laboratory, Nakajima frowned, his eyes fixed on the paralyzed recycling Bomos robot in front of him.

The robot, originally tasked with collecting geological data from Venos, suddenly malfunctioned, meaning the attack on the Venos supply base might never be fully understood.

Nakajima was extremely anxious. While checking the robot's various indicators, he was thinking about possible solutions.

At this moment, he heard bursts of sobbing. Beside him, Mai Midorikawa was crying bitterly, covering her face with her hands as tears continued to flow.

Mai's crying was particularly harsh in the quiet laboratory. Nakajima finally couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted at Mai, "What are you doing? Can you please stop crying?"

Mai was startled by Nakajima's roar. She looked at Nakajima with some grievance, slowly picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then, she looked at Nakajima with tears in her eyes and said, "I just feel so sorry for Labmos! It suffered such a terrible thing on the planet Sorvino, and now it has become like this..."

Nakajima tried to calm himself down. He knew Mai was a kind person who had a special affection for robots. But he still felt that Mai was a little too emotional!

Nakajima's tone softened slightly. "Mai, it's just a robot. It doesn't feel fear like a human, nor does it experience hunger. It doesn't have any of those feelings we have. It's just following its programming, so it's normal for it to malfunction."

Mai pouted angrily and retorted to Nakajima: "When humans encounter terrifying things, their brain nerve cells will be stimulated. In this case, it is easy to suffer from temporary amnesia!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and persistence in her voice.

However, Nakajima did not back down. He pointed at the red and silver robot under the mechanical arm in the porthole and emphasized: "But it's just a robot! Robot! How many times do you want me to tell you before you understand?" His tone was a little impatient, and he seemed helpless about Mai's point of view.

Mai was not affected by Nakajima's attitude. She continued to emphasize her idealism: "Although it is just a robot, Labmos has a heart just like humans. I really hope it can get better soon." She stared at the robot, as if she could see its inner world through the isolation layer.

Nakajima scratched his scalp frantically with both hands, looking a little irritated and crazy. He shouted, "Ah, Captain, I can't stand it anymore! Open the door and let me out!" His emotions were on the verge of collapse, while Mai on the side was still staring at the robot opposite the isolation layer in a daze, and kept talking.

Nakajima looked at Mai and couldn't help wondering: Why would the captain want such a little girl to work with him? Robots have hearts? This is nonsense! He felt like he was being driven crazy by Mai's strange ideas.

In desperation, Nakajima channeled his grief and anger into strength and continued trying to activate Labmos's IC. However, the repeated false alarm commands made his efforts seem futile.

At this time, the communication camera switched to the command room, "Nakajima, what's the situation now?" Bored Zhao Ming and Liang came to the command room from the police bureau office and continued to pay attention.

Nakajima reported to Zhao Ming with a helpless look on his face: "BOSS, this is the 365th attempt, and there is no way to start it!" As he spoke, he continued to press the keyboard to enter commands.

However, accompanied by a shrill alarm sound, the screen kept flashing with the prompt sound of "Error Error".

"This is the 366th time..." Nakajima continued weakly, "I still can't start it!"

Koda shouted encouragement from the side: "Don't give up, Nakajima! Try harder, you can do it!"

Inside the command room, Kibi Gosuke looked at the current progress records with worry: "It seems that now we can only pin our hopes on Kariya and Asuka."

Liang Ze reached out and gently teased the chubby Hanaijiro sitting at the conference table. At the same time, he turned to look at Zhao Ming and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhao Ming shook his head helplessly. "No, I don't have much experience in the software field. The optical quantum communication function required by the Saisha combat suit and Guntras, both the software and hardware, were created by Dijing and Ye Rui."

He paused and continued, "However, if you want to directly destroy the robot's autonomous consciousness, I do have a way. I can use the Xingtian Summoning Device to forcibly delete its digital genetic function. It should be easy to do in no time."

"Absolutely not!" In the operating room with glass portholes, after hearing Zhao Ming's method of forcibly deleting the Labmoss program, Mai slammed her palm on the table with a "bang" sound to express her opposition.

Nakajima, who was standing by, had been tortured by her to the point of exhaustion, and was now sleeping soundly on the table, exhausted.

Liang, who was in front of the communication, looked at Mai helplessly, spread his hands and said, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Seeing this, Mai looked at Liang pitifully like a puppy and said coquettishly, "Senior Liang, please give me some more time." There was a pleading light in her eyes, which made it difficult to refuse.

Zhao Ming saw this and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mai, you can do whatever you want."

After getting Zhao Ming's permission, Mai immediately cheered up and devoted herself to the work. However, in the next few hours, she kept trying various methods but still could not restart Labmos.

"Error, error..." The same message kept flashing on the computer screen, and Mai's mood became increasingly heavy. She couldn't remember how many times she had heard this sound, but each time it made her feel extremely frustrated and helpless.

"It still doesn't work. It's like this again. What's going on?" Mai murmured to herself. She still firmly believed in her heart that Labmoss could be awakened, but she felt that she had not found the right method yet.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Mai's mind: "Got it! It can't be such a long password, right? Let me try it!" She quickly typed a long string of commands that Labmos usually said most often on the keyboard, then held it up tightly with both hands, looking at the small robot in the opposite porthole with anticipation.

Following Mai's input of a series of long commands, the originally quietly standing trapezoidal small rice cooker robot Labmoss seemed to be injected with new vitality, and its dormant soul was awakened.

The two orange-yellow vertical-bar eyes in front of it first flashed a faint light, and then all lit up.

"Beep, beep..." After a series of crisp communication sounds, Labmos's intelligent voice system said, "You can start..."

Labmos's body trembled slightly, as if trying to adapt to this sudden restart. Its joints made a slight "clicking" sound, and its two small pincers slowly raised up and began to swing in an elegant and agile posture, as if showing Mai that it was ready.

"Ah? Finally succeeded!" Mai couldn't wait to look at the computer screen in front of her, only to see the word "passed" written on it.

She was so excited that she could almost hear her own heartbeat, and immediately communicated with Labmos: "Good morning, Labmos. I'm your number one super fan in the universe, Mai Midorikawa. Just call me Mai."

Labmos' childish voice said, "Mai, TPC code name 8035NS, affiliated with the Super Victory Team of TPC headquarters." Then, it went on to tell a series of private matters such as Mai's registered residence, height, weight, etc.

"Enough, enough. You are worthy of being the excellent Labmos! There is no need to say more about this." Mai looked at Nakajima who was about to wake up, and suddenly a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, so she hurriedly spoke to stop Labmos from continuing.

Mai paused to calm down a little, then asked, "By the way, Labmos, I have a few questions I want to ask you."

"Ask anything you want. I can tell you everything I know!" The little robot's yellow vertical bar eyes twinkled and looked very cute. Its voice was crisp and loud, as if it was full of confidence.

"What exactly happened on Sorvino?" Mai's tone was a little anxious, she was eager to know the truth.

Labmos's eyes flickered, as if he was recalling something, and he replied, "Using laser weapons manufactured by TPC to carry out sabotage operations. First, the fuel storage depots, then the communication systems, that's it."

"Made of TPC?" Mai frowned, shocked by the answer. "Who did it?"

Labmos's voice remained calm, without any ripples: "It's me!"

"I don't believe it. How could you do such a thing?" Mai stood up suddenly, her eyes fixed on Labmos in the operating room, an expression of disbelief on her face, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"I did it!"

"Impossible!" Mai screamed in despair.

"Oh my, Mai, why are you yelling so loudly?" Nakajima, standing by, covered his ears, having been woken up by Mai's shrill cry. Mai pointed at Labmos in the porthole. Nakajima turned around, staring at the robot inside with wide eyes, and said, "Labmos has finally started."

The red and silver robot waved its blue pincers and continued, "It's all true. It was me, TP39, who destroyed the TPC Sorvino supply base."

Nakajima shook his head in disbelief after hearing this. "Labmoss, is there something wrong with your program? How could you do such a thing?"

Labmos responded firmly: "I can't be wrong. All the data shows that it was me."

Mai shouted excitedly, "There must be a reason. Labmos wouldn't do this for no reason."

At this time, Zhao Ming, who had rushed into the command room, asked over the comms: "You two should calm down first and find out why Labmos did this."
