[Falusan: Uh-huh, call me senior and let me hear it, please speak louder]

[Paimon: This guy starts again]

[Kavi: Falusan? I seem to have heard of this name before, it seems very familiar, but I can’t quite remember where it is.]

[Elhaisen: Introduction to Classical Mechanical Engineering]

[Kavi:?! Wasn’t that more than a hundred years ago?]

[Falusan: So it’s not too much for you to call me senior, right?]

(Other old things: One hundred years? That's it?)

In the video, Paimon used his ability to fly to find a new videotape the fastest.

Call Tinari and Yingmei over.

"Look, look, I found a new videotape! There's a date written on it, let me see...it looks like it was half a year ago!"

"Time has advanced a lot. What has happened during this period..."

Tinari turned on the tape and the footage began to play.

Chapter 55: Experiments that Made No Progress

In the picture, Kakata seems to have a problem and Abatoi is repairing it.

"I never thought that you would also fail due to operational errors."

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

Kakata made a hoarse sound, "Gurgle, gurgle."

Fortunately, the problem was not serious and was fixed quickly.

"Gululu?"

"Water got into the parts of the claws, causing a short circuit in the wires, and they couldn't receive the signal from the crab brain..."

Abatoi was analyzing the problem seriously, but suddenly he remembered that the other party didn't seem to understand him.

Then he shook his head and said, "Look at me, even if I tell you this, you won't understand, right?"

"It's okay, I helped you replace the new parts, and you're fine now."

"Move around a bit and see if there's anything wrong with you."

Kakata moved the crab legs according to his instructions.

It appears to have been completely fixed.

Abatoi smiled bitterly, "Be careful next time! We are short of money recently, and we don't have many spare parts and energy left."

[Nashida: It seems that they used the earth vein extraction device because of the limited funds.]

[Kavi: After all, this is a prohibited research, so it’s impossible to apply for funding]

[Falusan: This spirit of research is acceptable]

[Tinari: It would be better if the ley lines were not destroyed.]

[Ying: You haven’t already gone to look for that cave, have you? That person may not be in any danger yet.]

[Seno:...]

on the screen.

Abatoi ended the depressing topic.

"You know what, Kakata? I had a dream yesterday that you could speak."

"Didn't the group of people in the Ministry of Education keep saying things like 'machine intelligence is just an extension of statistics'? They were all shocked to see that you could talk to me."

However, the reality is cruel, and Kakata always only says that one sentence in response to him.

"Gululu?"

"Alas, it's just a dream."

"Look at your heartless appearance. Forget chatting with me. Even if I'm gone one day, you won't notice anything unusual."

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

The video ends.

[Ying: Paimon, remember what I said this was called? ]

[Paimon: Plant a flag? ]

【Ying: That’s right】

At this moment, in the laboratory.

Abatoi was already able to determine the time point where he was.

I recorded it myself last month, and the solution is the earth vein extraction device.

Prepare to use the earth veins to provide Kakata with energy supply.

By the way, sell the failed research equipment for money.

on the screen.

Tinari: "After Abatoi left the House of the Decrees, there was no further news."

"At the time, I thought he had given up on his research on mechanical life. I didn't expect that he had been hiding here and continuing his experiments."

Paimon: "I don't think he's a bad guy. He even helped Kakata replace broken parts. Why did he set his sights on the ley lines?"

Ying: "He said that the energy is not enough, so, this earth vein extraction device could be used to provide energy to Kakata."

"Let's look for it again."

Everyone searched according to the numbers and soon found the last two videos, but the handwriting on them was very sloppy.

Perhaps something was not right with Abatoi.

There is also a videotape without a time stamp and its placement is strange, which doesn't seem to be played by Abatoi.

"Maybe Kakata helped sort it out?"

"I'm not sure. Anyway, these are the last two tapes. Let's watch them together."

[Amber: I agree with Paimon. Mr. Abatoi doesn't look like a bad guy.]

[Kumi: He's also pretty nice to that Kakata]

[Kaia: You’ll know after you finish watching it. There are only two videos left. Maybe his personality has suddenly changed.]

Video recording.

Abatoi was staring at the three earth vein extraction devices.

This decision is still too risky, but there is no other way.

"Gululu?"

Kakata approached from behind and tried to call him.

But the latter seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and did not respond.

"Gulu!"

Abatoi then reacted, "Sorry Kakata, I was just thinking about something. Today may be a special day for me."

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

In the previous video, he could still joke with Kakata, but now, there is only sadness on his face.

"In the experiment some time ago, I successfully gave you the instinct of life."

"When energy is insufficient or parts are damaged, you will prioritize the "survival" command and proactively replenish energy and replace parts."

[Coral Palace Xinhai: So, the experiment still failed. Kakata's search for parts was just a survival instruction, not the result of independent thinking.]

[Elhaisen: It is very likely. It seems that we have overestimated this mechanical crab.]

[Paimon: But why didn't Kakata install the parts after he snatched them?]

[Nilu: Yes, it is already in tatters and has insufficient energy.]

Video recording.

"It's very dangerous. And today, I did something even more dangerous."

"Gululu?"

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

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

Having decided to activate these dangerous devices, Abatoi's mental state is indeed problematic.

"I get tired too, Kakata. After so many experiments, I don't know what drives me forward anymore."

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

"Gulu!"

Looking at Kakata's appearance, Abatoi became more and more doubtful of himself.

"I didn't tell you happy things anymore, Kakata..."

“Language module, emotion module, action module… I kept trying and did my best to enrich and improve your functions, but I never got any effective response.”

"You are the most special of all my creations, but even you cannot understand me and only give limited responses to my pre-set instructions or keywords."

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

"Kakata, even just once, I wish you could talk to me..."

"Gululu?"

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

"That's it. In a few days I will sell the failed earth vein extraction machine and earn some money to continue the experiment. I have to keep going. I have no other choice."

The video ends.
