Chapter 7 - Everyday Pain

When 99 is with the companion robot, she will make a sweet and clear laugh like a silver bell. When her laughter is transmitted through the monitoring, Wei Lanshan can be infected by her happiness.

She is really a very cute child. She can already walk, run and talk.

99, who is over one year old, already knows that the beauty who takes care of her is a machine. As for how she found out, it was because she was so energetic that she didn't sleep all day. The beautiful sister was playing with her and suddenly stopped moving!

This scared 99, and she screamed desperately.

Wuyuan, who was outside, heard her shouting and thought something had happened. After he came in and found that the low-level robot had no energy and stopped moving, he looked at 99 with contempt.

Don't ask 99 how she could tell that a machine like Da Kezi could make a contemptuous expression. She was sure and certain that the expression on Da Kezi's face was "stupid"!

But in the end, Wuyuan still replaced the energy for the low-level robot sister.

If the companion robot cannot move, it means that it will take over the job of taking care of 99. It is a medical assistant and will not take care of such a noisy baby!

Later, 99 gave the beautiful girl a name called "Si Xi", which is simple and easy to remember.

Si Xi is very gentle and smiles every day. She accompanied 99 through a very difficult and very difficult experimental career.

99 spent the first year as a baby in the closed underground laboratory under the care of Si Xi.

Usually, there is no one in the space where she is, only endless white and cold instruments.

Whenever this happens, she will close her eyes and empty her mind, letting her mind go out to play.

Once before, when she was playing with Si Xi, she accidentally discovered an interesting thing.

When her mind was empty, she found that her mind could travel freely in this building without any obstacles.

There is also physical fatigue caused by drug injection, which can be recovered by using the meditation method when sleeping.

So every time the robot named Wuyuan left the laboratory, she would sleep for a while, let her mind sneak out to play, and by the way, she could find out a lot of things she didn't know.

She saw the scene outside her space, there were many strange things here, she knew that the technology here was extremely advanced, she estimated that it was hundreds of years ahead of Blue Star, but the reality still exceeded her expectations.

The civilization here is a higher existence, and their technology has reached an incredible level. I am afraid that this is a civilization that has surpassed her home planet for thousands of years, not just hundreds of years.

She is deep underground, but she can still maintain basic human life, without wearing a protective mask or carrying an oxygen tank.

There is a quasi-stellar light and heat sphere here, and there is also an air circulation system to provide them with basic living conditions.

There is also Si Xi who takes care of her. Si Xi looks no different from a real person on the surface, and only when you look at the back of her head will you find something strange.

There is a square gap at the back of Si Xi's head, which is used to place energy stones.

And the big shell Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan is not in human form, it has many tentacles, usually only two of them are used normally, and the rest of the hands will only be extended when doing experiments. It has amazing computing ability and strong hands-on ability.

99 also found that there were several other girls in this underground laboratory, probably for the same purpose as her.

99 knew that the owner of this laboratory was Wei Lanshan, the best biomedical scientist in the entire alliance. She usually stayed in her room and only appeared when doing experiments.

For 99, except for being stripped naked by her from time to time for testing, various drug injections and blood draws, there was nothing particularly bad in the first year.

The second year was an extremely painful year for 99. She felt that her body was about to collapse at any time.

The pain that seemed to break all the bones in her body made her think that she was going to die again soon.

Just like now, her small body was lying in an isolated sterile container, with tubes all over her body, and unknown drugs flowing in the tubes.

The ruthless big shell Wu Yuan was observing the data on the side.

All these drugs had to be pushed into her body within one day. The various side effects of the drugs made her feel that there was probably no pain in the world that could compare to the pain she was experiencing at the moment.

With body spasms, shortness of breath, and cardiac arrest, 99 felt that her cells were reorganized countless times in an instant. She seemed to be torn apart and then reorganized again. The pain of being peeled off alive was worse than death.

When she couldn't bear it, she would groan and try to struggle, but her body and limbs were fixed. Even if she screamed her throat out, Wu Yuan would not let her out.

Wu Yuan would only record the data expressionlessly, because it was a medical assistant robot and had no empathy program.

So no matter what, 99 was just indifferent, and would say: "99, don't move, otherwise the data will jump and it will be difficult for me to observe."

After trying it once, 99 never spoke again. How could she get sympathy from a cold and emotionless lab assistant robot when talking about life?

On days when she wasn't doing experiments, 99 would suck the nutrients given to her by Si Xi, talk to Si Xi in simple words, and pester Si Xi to tell her all kinds of interstellar anecdotes.

If Wei Lanshan or Wu Yuan were present, she would remain absolutely silent.

She was already fluent in her speech, and there was no obstacle in communicating with Si Xi.

99 knew more things, and from Si Xi, she knew everything that it could tell her with Si Xi's authority.

She didn't know that everything about her was seen by Wei Lanshan.

Wei Lanshan didn't know why she was interested in this little thing, and she would observe the interaction between 99 and Si Xi in real-time synchronous monitoring every day.

She found that the little 99 had the thinking of an adult, and she would ask the companion robot named Si Xi in a roundabout way, just to get the information she wanted.

But what Si Xi could say to her was actually very limited.

Sometimes 99 would be very frustrated. She would run to the place where Wei Lanshan came in from the lab and lie there looking for an exit, but to no avail.

Sometimes she would lie down at the window in the space and look at the man-made scene outside.

When she was angry, she would look at her short arms and legs and sigh silently.

She was especially cute when she propped up her cheek and thought about life. Her smart eyes kept staring at Si Xi.

She also reached out and touched Si Xi: "Si Xi, if we can go out in the future, I will take you to see more beautiful scenery and eat delicious food. I ate so much nutritional supplements that I vomited. Okay?"

Si Xi would bend his head, blink his blue eyes and ask her: "99, what do you mean by more beautiful scenery and delicious food? How delicious is it? I can't eat it."

99: "Yes, it's a pity. Then I will write a program for Si Xi that can let you feel the taste. And, I will definitely earn more star coins in the future and give you a more beautiful body. So it's a happy decision. Let's make a pinky promise."

99 stretched out her still tender little hand, held Si Xi's finger that had already shed some of its skin, and made the first promise she made after coming here to a machine.

From then on, no matter where she was in the starry sea, 99 would take Si Xi with her.

When Wei Lanshan heard her say this, she felt a sour feeling in her heart. It turned out that she was not a heartless person without empathy?

She admitted that 99, the experimental subject, who made a serious promise to a machine at this moment, touched her long-silent heart.
