[This is a cost-effective multifunctional humanoid robot that I designed based on existing mechanical and materials technology, combined with cost considerations.]

Meng Lang took a closer look, two arms and two legs, two eyes, but no nostrils...

Hmm, this silver robot looks about seventy to eighty percent similar to the Baiyeji logo robot.

There aren't any exaggerated design elements; the whole body even exudes a sense of cheapness...

This made him relieved but also somewhat disappointed.

"Looks pretty ordinary..."

[Ordinary means universal. Although there are more efficient design schemes, given the current environment and industrial foundation.

An unconventional robot is far less versatile than a common design.

And the humanoid design means I can directly use most tools made for humans without redesigning and manufacturing them.]

Hmm... so when you use human weapons, it must be just as smooth...

Meng Lang couldn't help but add a thought in his mind.

"Alright, let's go with plan B, execute immediately."

[Sorry, your account balance is insufficient!]

"What?" Meng Lang was stunned.

How is that possible? With such a long string of net asset numbers on my balance sheet, how could I not even have a mere 8 million...

Uh... wait!

It suddenly dawned on him, because he had given Mr. Lin a large sum some time ago, his little stash was now empty, barely enough to maintain basic living...

Though he still had a large amount of Bitcoin, that stuff couldn't be easily touched.

Selling just one coin might trigger a global cryptocurrency earthquake.

After all, that's the "Genesis Address," and activating it, or even showing an intent to cash out, might directly cause a Bitcoin price crash.

To "cash out," he needed a more stable plan to maximize the benefits...

And because of previous transfer operations using Alipay, Mr. Hu pointed out the "investor relationship" between him and Gao Yuan, making Meng Lang realize the importance of "keeping private and corporate matters separate."

Since then, he tried not to let his small fund and Wanwu Holding's capital flow have too many connections.

So indeed, he was an invisible rich man, but most of the funds were in the group's "public accounts"...

"I don't have money, and you still gave me two such expensive plans?" Meng Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes irritably.

[Therefore, I suggest you use the group funds and borrow the site and equipment of Baiyeji's "Industrial Robot Research Department" for manufacturing.

The identity of the Demon Hunter not only has a purchasing authority of within 100 million in funds, but also has the authority to allocate and use most of the company's materials and facilities.

In fact, the budget of 8 million considered Baiyeji's existing resources and equipment. Otherwise, this budget would have to double.

This way, it's not only more efficient, but you can also refund part of the corporate income tax in the name of R&D.]

Uh...

Meng Lang had a strange look in his eyes.

You understand how to legally minimize tax liabilities...

And this sly operation... is using public resources for private purposes, right?

He couldn't help but think of the wealthy people who register their luxury cars and planes under the company's name.

Using public money to build his robot, and then using his robot to create his black technology...

Yes! Not spending a dime of his own money; at most he just over-reports a bit on R&D materials and consumables, it's as good as being undetected...

This indeed was a good method.

Baiyeji had indeed long since established an Industrial Robot Research Department. After all, his "Super Factory" relied heavily on industrial robots, and the related personnel and venues were already prepared in advance.

Purchasing these components under this department's name would undoubtedly be safer...

"Then execute according to this plan."

[Yes! Task confirmed, searching for products... material selection in progress... process planning in progress... BOM creation in progress...

Completed! Allocation of related procurement orders in progress... Allocation of related manufacturing tasks in progress...]

In just a few short minutes, Zero had published all the hundreds of related component purchase orders on the group purchasing network and multiple large domestic and international component trading platforms through the Tianshu ERP.

And Baiyeji's "Industrial Robot Research Department," also received the robot assembly plan issued under the "Demon Hunter" name.

Seeing the urgent time requirements, relevant staff began to intensively study the freshly released robot assembly manual...

Meng Lang looked at each project progress bar with some emotion as it slowly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For a normal R&D team, just understanding the drawings, selecting components, making plans, and arranging personnel would take at least one or two months for these preliminary preparations.

If it were those inefficient organizations, this leader signature, that leader review, it wouldn't be strange to spend one or two years.

However, for Zero with its vast retrieval library, the time it took was almost negligible.

And it was still multitasking with both the humanoid robot and "Brainwave Amplifier" production plans progressing simultaneously.

This is AI crush over humans...

The historical trend of humans being replaced is unavoidable...

Looking at the slowly rotating 3D model of the robot on the computer.

"This model, hasn't been named yet, right?"

[Yes, please name it!]

Meng Lang hesitated for a moment.

"Defensive forts stand towering in Huanwu City Defense Circle, third-generation Guardian robots cover the mountains, unmanned seventh-generation fighter jets blot out the sky..."

Thinking of this description in "No One Survives"...

"Then let's call it... Guardian Series Type I!"

...

Three days later...

"Hey! It's been the third day, there's no movement, we're not going to starve that thing to death, right? This is a precious live specimen."

A person in a lab coat, observing a white puppy inside that hadn't moved for quite a while, couldn't help but worry.

"Relax, all indicators are normal. Instructions from above say just follow the manual." Another person in a lab coat said, staring at the monitor equipment.

Then he raised his watch to take a look.

"Hmm... it's about time."

...

The dog inside slightly opened its eyelids weakly, looking at the two humans in the observation room with slightly reddened eyes, filled with hatred inside...

It couldn't hear what the two were saying but felt that these humans were a bunch of lunatics.

Went through so much trouble to capture it alive, only to starve it to death?

What kind of damned operation is this?!

From the initial impotence and rage, bearing a glimmer of hope to continue disguising itself as an innocent purebred Earth pet dog.

To later finding out that humans had long discovered its secret, knowing that continuing to disguise was futile, it could only gradually calm down, adopting a non-violent non-cooperation attitude.

No matter what humans asked, it responded with defiant stares, a look of not bothering to deal with them.

It thought the other side would shoot it dead, or dissect and slice it.

It had already prepared for the worst, but who would have thought... the other side just cut off its food without a word!

From initial disdain to gradually becoming angrily agitated.

There's no helping it, now it's just a dog, though it still had absolute control over this "body."

But the body's craving for food, transmitted through various brain neurohormones, continuously stimulated its nerve endings, driving it restless...

Yes, the Divine Race is powerful, but their form of existence determines that they are even more sensitive to all mental stimuli than ordinary creatures.

It was like it was cursed with "pain doubling," struggling to resist the most intense survival instincts of a creature.

If it weren't necessary to absorb nutrients and survive alone in Earth's atmospheric environment, it had already considered whether to abandon this flesh body...

Because the increasingly intense and unbearable hunger was gradually eroding its rationality...

"Plop!"

At this moment, something suddenly fell from above, landing right in front of it.

It weakly opened its eyelids again, and what came into view...

Was a chicken leg emitting a tempting aroma...

The air suddenly quieted down.

It stared at it for over half a minute, wanting to close its eyes, but the enticing meaty smell wafting at the tip of its nose made its entire body start trembling with excitement.

The rationality in its mind told it that this was all a human conspiracy.

No matter what those humans intended, it absolutely must not let them succeed.

However, the creature's strong desire to eat kept urging it...

Eat it! Hurry and eat it!

It's just a chicken leg, must fill the stomach to have the energy to deal with these humans.

In the end, after a struggle lasting several minutes, it slowly closed its eyes...

Then...

With a roll of the tongue!

Mm... delicious!

Meng Lang couldn't help but curl his lips seeing this scene through the shared screen.

It seems that even an alien species still retains the most basic survival instincts of a creature.

"The body is a precious raft to cross the world, and also the shackle of the soul..."
