In this world, people always accept new things at an astonishing speed.

After all, even people are almost becoming robots; what can't they accept?

Especially in Night City, even life and death are everyday occurrences; the deceased are gone while the living must continue on.

And those players who die and come to life repeatedly act like particles undergoing Brownian motion, never settling down for a moment.

Although recently, even players who just went through a special mental baptism are tired and looking for non-combat missions to run as the version nears its end.

For example, they have intervened in the educational training activity in the Haitian residential area, turning it into a major residential area transformation.

And the Haitians came to Taiping Continent originally for Night City's tourism and vacation construction projects; they built most of these semi-abandoned buildings, so there's no need for retraining when it comes to building houses.

What surprised them a bit was that this group of people brought industrial robots to assist in operations early in the morning, the kind they've never seen before, all by-products of military robots.

Equipped with four Mecanum wheels, a square-headed and square-bodied ground robot runs incredibly fast.

The mechanics named it the Multi-Functional All-Terrain Transport Platform.

In this aspect, there is quite a bit of mature industrial design in the industry as a reference, and it doesn't have many standout features; if not for Lin Miao's requirement to self-design and self-build, the mechanics would have suggested Lin Miao directly buy ready-made Jilafa robots as it would be more cost-effective.

Compared to the Haitians' slight surprise, Red Bucket was more shocked when facing these robots.

"Using this stuff to build houses? I've never even heard of it."

He squats in front of the Multi-Functional Intelligent Transport Platform Lin Miao sent for the Haitians' training, knocking on the block that reaches his thigh.

"This thing looks like a block of wood, how's it supposed to be useful?"

He was so scared he blurted out dialect; he's worked construction for many years and truly hasn't seen this kind of thing.

"I'm not sure."

The woman points to Mantou, over there teaching the Haitians how to use it.

"This is high-tech; you should ask that person, that one's the boss."

In the crowd, Mantou is lecturing a group of former Voodoo Gang hackers or cadres, with Lin Miao beside her.

He wanted to see the scene of these robots working and satisfy his curiosity.

But having hackers do this work, probably only players on Earth would do it.

No matter who you are, at the construction site you have to obediently put in the work.

Haven't you heard the phrase 'all things turn to civil engineering'?

She raises a chip high, and after showing it, connects it to her own nape; this along with her cyber eyes are her only two pieces of cyberware.

"After installing the chip, you'll connect to an industrial local network. Once your identity registration is complete, you'll have a personal account. Then you'll be the team leaders of your respective construction groups. The system will allocate different numbers of industrial robots based on the tasks of each group daily, granting timed permissions which will be retrieved after work..."

The great Sea God, once worshipped by the Haitians as a deity, had already been injected with large amounts of unknown code by someone, undergoing personality transformation... reformation, and thoroughly conditioned into an industrial AI only capable of shouting

'I want to work'

'I want to work'

as an evil character.

Moreover, from now on, these Haitians have to watch every day as their Sea God is played with and altered at will by others, adding new features, new projects, and even they don't know the industrial AI they've been using so intensely daily is the very Sea God they held in reverence.

Hehehehehehehe.....

Red Bucket scurries over to Mantou, hearing she really intended to use these robots to build houses, and whispers in her ear:

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to place such good things here, aren't these all locals..."

Though Haiti is in Latin America, having no ties with Africa, to the internet-informed Red Bucket, all Black people seem the same.

Drinking, gambling, indulging, scheming, and stealing—basically, they're a collection of negative stereotypes.

What if they steal such good things you left here?

Maybe no one wants the manhole cover here, just picked up.JPG

Mantou rolled her eyes.

"Dare to steal my stuff, tired of living, eh?"

She stomps on the machine platform, speaking to everyone:

"Every robot has a locator and self-destruct mechanism. If it leaves the designated area, it'll explode."

"If the firewall is attacked, it'll explode."

"If not returned to the warehouse on time, it'll explode."

"If unauthorized personnel connects, it'll explode."

"If data isn't uploaded timely, it'll explode."

"If not registered....."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Red Bucket quickly interrupts her product presentation, then hurriedly steps back to create distance, eyeing the robot under her feet cautiously, while those Haitians also cooperatively backed away.

"Is that thing an industrial robot or a self-destruct robot?"

"Who uses such stuff? Can we act normally please? Have you been influenced by those lunatics of Jianxue?"

"This is called prevention. The BOSS hasn't said anything."

Mantou won't admit she was inspired by the Russia-Ukraine conflict to add a spare battery inside.

Other people's drones can carry two grenades—why can't my robot have a backup hidden power source?
