"Where have you been hanging around? Why was there no signal transmission for so long?"Receiving the communication from RPK16, AK12 asked with some surprise.
"Well, I was just a little curious about the structure of this ship, so I wandered around. This ship is really a bit outrageous; it's hard to imagine that such a huge vessel actually flew over from the sky."
RPK16 walked while communicating with AK12, occasionally looking up to survey the various facilities in the corridor.
Although she did not inform Angelia and the others of her course of action, she did not take the initiative to cut off communication with AK12.
The reason she couldn't be contacted was that her communication system, after arriving at the area outside the main gate of the power zone, was directly blocked by some kind of unknown interference.
"Isn't this kind of thing already known? We're on the top deck now, you..."
"Ah, got it. I saw another interesting place over here. I'll be with you guys in a little while..." RPK16 said, and without waiting for AK12 to respond, she directly cut off the communication.
On the opposite side, AK12, hearing RPK16 cut off communication, looked up at Angelia with some confusion. "This guy, isn't he a bit too reckless?"
RPK16 was a doll assigned to Angelia along with AK15. AK12 didn't expect that RPK16 seemed not to pay much attention to the mission or Angelia's instructions.
"Hmm? It's probably just some kind of mistake in debugging. Just have her go back for a checkup after a few days here in Renault," Angelia said, waving her hand somewhat unconcernedly.
RPK16 was, after all, a tactical doll made by Statesec itself, and it was definitely different from those tactical dolls of Griffin. Whether in terms of the root protocols or the authority to act, the dolls on the Statesec's side were definitely more liberal.
Seeing that Angelia didn't seem to care much about RPK16's mode of operation, AK12 shrugged her shoulders.
Since her own commander didn't care, what was the use of her thinking so much?
It would be better to relax; this kind of opportunity to be able to take advantage of mission time to be lazy in a bright and honorable way was something that never came along.
Just as AK12 was relaxing on the top deck, RPK16, who had just walked out of the power zone in the middle of the ship, was staring at Renault's workroom.
"Anyone here? I'm coming in," RPK16 said at the entrance of the workshop, smiling as she directly opened the door and walked in.
Renault didn't lock the door to his workroom and usually didn't have much of a habit of locking it, as he would spend most of his time there and could spend much more time there than in his own exclusive cabin next to the bridge.
Therefore, when RPK16 just came in, what she saw was the blue device with a strange glow that Renault had placed on the work table...
As for the figure sitting right next to the table, RPK16 always felt that her current recognition system seemed to have some kind of abnormality, and it was simply unable to judge that figure as a living person.
The motionless look, without any ups and downs, coupled with the cluttered images that flashed up from time to time in the recognition system, made her put her full attention on those devices on the tabletop.
Snap!
Just as RPK16 ghostly reached out her hand towards those blue devices on the workbench, Renault directly slapped her hand down.
"Don't touch other people's things without asking."
"Hey! It hurts!" Although she was shouting in pain, RPK16 was obviously still smiling, as if she had some sort of quirk.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Renault. There seems to be a problem with my recognition system," RPK16 defended herself, but her eyes were still fixed on those devices on the countertop.
She had actually noticed these things when she first came here earlier. These devices didn't look too big, but among the scanning devices of the dolls, the energy level had already reached an undetectable level. Such a small thing, the energy possessed inside had already completely exceeded those energy cores used by military dolls.
Coupled with the size of these devices, which were very similar to the energy cores of dolls, if she guessed correctly, these devices should be used by Renault to replace the power cores of dolls.
Angelia had already mentioned before that all the dolls under Renault' command had been modified by Renault, so regardless of how long these devices could maintain the dolls' actions, they were definitely better than the power cores of civilian dolls.
Moreover, although the power core of civilian dolls is labeled as civilian, the power core of military models only has longer endurance, plus a built-in emergency mode module that can forcibly disable the doll's body damper.
If the makers of civilian dolls weren't deliberately trying to save money, the power cores used by some of the necessary civilian dolls wouldn't be too different from the military versions.
The only difference was that the range and power were slightly weaker.
So, if she could get some new technology from Renault' side... get some new technology... What could she use it for after getting it?
Looking at the smile on RPK16's face, who was originally staring at those power cores, suddenly converge, staring blankly at those cold fusion engines without knowing what to think, Renault shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything.
The power zone side had no Sangvis Ferri doll willing to go there, not just because it didn't need cleaning.
Because over there in the power zone, it would have a certain impact on the doll's neural core, mainly affecting the doll's recognition module.
After staying over there for more than half an hour, the doll's recognition module would have some glitches.
Such as not being able to recognize friendlies, or not being able to recognize specific objects, and a series of other conditions. In addition to this kind of glitch, there was also the possibility of creating some human-like hallucination-like conditions among the doll's visual system.
As a result, the power zone became a no-go area for the ship's SF dolls after rumors of several cutters bumping into ghosts in the power zone.
However, this phenomenon has no effect on the dolls who have replaced their doll bodies, or else Renault would not have directly installed a cold fusion engine on the AR15 for testing.
The condition of this RPK16 suddenly freezing in front of him should have been affected by the disturbance in the power zone.
However, this condition is not permanent. As long as you leave the power zone, after a period of time, the doll's self-checking system will be able to recover on its own.
However, those who had encountered this situation before were all simple-minded Rippers, and it was still unknown what would happen to the more mature dolls after encountering this situation.
Perhaps it was because of the interference and the strange sights they saw? Or maybe they thought or figured something out through those images?
Thinking of this, Renault narrowed his eyes, took out his notepad and pen, and turned to stare at RPK16, recording the changes in her condition.
