In front of the robot exhibition booth, Lu Heng found a manual for the robots.
Comparing it with the toolbook provided by Bona, Lu Heng gradually understood the basic operations of the robots.
As for the internal structure and manufacturing principles of the robots, Lu Heng found no information. He guessed that in this world, such data would also be classified.
Lu Heng found a robot that was not for sale and, following the operating instructions, powered it on.
Fortunately, the robot was not locked in a display case. It seemed the security here was quite good.
The moment the robot was activated, its eyes turned towards Lu Heng and began scanning him.
Robots here, upon activation, would scan the nearest living being. The first creature scanned would be recognized as the master.
"Greetings, Master. Please name me."
The robot in front of Lu Heng spoke in an alien language.
"Iron Man One. You will be called Iron Man One from now on."
Lu Heng learned about the robot's activated state from the manual and tried to converse with it in the stiff alien language.
Fortunately, the voice imitation was quite accurate, though each syllable had a pause, making it sound like a child learning to speak.
The robot showed no surprise. After a brief silence, it repeated its name.
"My designation is Iron Man One."
"Yes. Tell me about your functions."
It had to be said that the robots manufactured by aliens were very user-friendly. It was estimated that children here could quickly learn to operate them.
Everything was controlled by voice.
By conversing with the robot in the alien language, Lu Heng could also practice his alien vocabulary.
He figured that in the future, when Bona and others spoke in the alien language, he would be able to understand them.
The alien robot introduced itself to Lu Heng. Perhaps considering Lu Heng's initially slow speaking pace, the robot also slowed down its introduction.
When Lu Heng didn't understand something, he asked the robot to repeat it, and after a short pause, the robot would repeat the previous sentence.
"So intelligent."
—However, Lu Heng thought it would be more convenient to input human languages into this robot.
But he didn't know how to input programs into the robot, and Lu Heng's understanding of the local script was too limited, making programming likely difficult.
After a period of self-introduction, Lu Heng learned about all of Iron Man One's functions.
It was a nanny-type robot, programmed to help the master with housework and manage all domestic affairs.
For example, if the master needed to go out and operate a flying vehicle, this could be entrusted to the robot. As long as the master informed it of the destination, the robot would operate the flying vehicle within its pre-programmed settings and take the master to the designated location.
"So you have the complete map of this place?"
Lu Heng asked the robot tentatively, speaking slowly.
"Yes, Master. Where do you wish to go?"
"You don't need to imitate my speech. Just speak at a slightly slower pace."
"Understood, Master. Where do you wish to go?"
"I am not going anywhere else for now. Do you understand this place? Are there other models of robots here?"
"Yes, Master. Besides nanny-type robots like me, there are also bodyguard-type robots and life-type robots."
Bodyguard-type robots?
Was this world very chaotic?
What were life-type robots?
Did they conflict with nanny-type robots?
Since the nanny-type robots were already responsible for life affairs, why would aliens create separate life-type robots? Were they that meticulous?
"Take me to see those two models of robots."
Iron Man One received the command, turned around, and walked to the area where the robots were displayed.
It pointed to a robot with a larger frame and said, "Master, this is the bodyguard-type robot."
"Is the operation method the same?"
"Yes, the basic operations for robots are all the same. Only the functions differ, and the internal configurations have some variations."
Having the first robot was indeed very convenient. Lu Heng could now understand some issues by asking the robot.
Of course, the robot probably didn't know everything. After all, their responsibilities were limited to the basic life of aliens, and certain classified matters would certainly not be programmed into the robots.
But this was already sufficient.
Lu Heng performed the same operation on the bodyguard-type robot and acquired another robot.
The bodyguard-type robot also introduced its functions.
It turned out that the world was not overly chaotic. The primary job of these bodyguard-type robots was to accompany aliens who went to work in other star systems, providing protection in external environments.
Some aliens here needed to go to other planets to collect necessary resources. Some of those regions were not very safe, so they would come here to purchase these robots for protection.
After acquiring the bodyguard-type robot, the nanny-type robot led Lu Heng to another area where robots were stored.
These robots were stored separately.
As Lu Heng was still wondering, upon seeing the actual robots, he finally understood.
The appearance of the robots here was specifically designed to resemble aliens.
Not only was the skin color the same, but the aliens' appearances and sizes also varied.
—Could this be what Lu Heng was thinking?
Lu Heng felt quite awkward and did not dare to activate one.
However, he did walk up to the life-type robots and carefully examined their appearances.
These robots were not wearing clothes, and their sexual characteristics were very pronounced. Both female and male models had been specifically designed.
It was estimated that apart from the inability to reproduce, all other functions of these robots were complete.
Lu Heng did not have such preferences and did not intend to acquire this type of robot.
He then returned to the location where the two normal robots were stored, took stock, and moved both the nanny-type and bodyguard-type robots from this place into his spatial city.
These would have great utility in the future.
After collecting the available robots in the exhibition hall, Lu Heng continued to explore the entire building.
Following behind him were the two newly recognized robots.
Lu Heng occasionally asked the nanny-type robot questions to practice his alien spoken language.
Since this was a place that sold robots, there couldn't only be the ones displayed in the exhibition hall.
Lu Heng thought that if he could acquire dozens of bodyguard-type robots here, he could equip a high-tech combat team in Nameless City.
