#162 - Chapter 162 Communications

Cheng Feng carefully studied the card in his hand, attempting to combine the machine dog's information with the possible realities Da Zhou might face.

After much deliberation, he comprehensively summarized the machine dog's strengths and weaknesses, concluding that having it was better than not having it at all.

Then, Cheng Feng decided to try putting the card away temporarily, but just then, he clearly felt that the machine dog within the card seemed somewhat restless, as if revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Cheng Feng softly soothed, "Now is not the time for you to come out. If I release you now, we won't be able to transport you out of the city smoothly! Be patient, and when night falls, I will release you, and I will also introduce you to two partners."

Without a doubt, Cheng Feng was referring to Baibai and Cheng Yi—they also belonged to the category of robots.

It was just unknown whether a unique spark would ignite when the machine dog from Planet Cybertron encountered these two.

With one hour remaining until the city gates closed, Cheng Feng precisely grasped the edge of time and quickly left the city. Baibai and Cheng Yi were already patiently waiting for his arrival outside the city gates.

Running at full speed, like a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist, he dashed towards a pile of hills far outside the city. Finally, upon reaching his destination, he stopped and gasped for breath.

Cheng Feng reached into his pocket and pulled out a card, his eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness. He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and with a thought, the card vanished without a trace. Replacing it was a metallic monster resembling a leopard and a dog, with unique eyes on its head and a ferocious and terrifying body.

"Hello, Machine Dog!" Cheng Feng curiously reached out and gently stroked the machine dog's head and body. This was the first time he had seen such a realistic object in person. Apart from seeing similar scenes in movies, he had never had such an experience in real life. The machine dog could not speak; it could only express its intentions through special means.

Just as Cheng Feng was carefully observing the machine dog, Baibai suddenly spoke, "Master, I have received a signal requesting to be received."

Cheng Feng turned his head, his gaze landing on Baibai, then looked at the machine dog, and asked doubtfully, "Is that you?"

The machine dog seemed to understand Cheng Feng's meaning and nodded, indicating affirmation.

Cheng Feng turned to Baibai and said, "Then try to receive this signal and see what it wants."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baibai did not make any obvious movements, but suddenly a synthesized electronic voice came, "Master, can you hear me?"

Cheng Feng looked at Baibai and the electronic dog beside him in surprise, suddenly realizing. So this was the way robots communicated!

Conveying information through specific signals and languages, the power of this technology shocked him.

"Great! I can finally communicate with you." Cheng Feng's face showed joy, and he nodded repeatedly in approval. At this time, the Decepticon spy named Machine Dog also reported to Cheng Feng without any pretense.

Cheng Feng naturally had his own plans and arrangements for letting the machine dog out of the city.

He always had a question in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Machine Dog, the world here is completely different from the world you originally came from. Do you have any high technology that you can share with Baibai?"

The machine dog was silent for a moment, then replied, "Sorry, Master, I did not bring any extra knowledge packs. After sharing information with Baibai just now, we found that our information databases both take seeing you as the starting point for initialization. We both need to reabsorb new social environment information to continuously improve and update our knowledge bases."

Cheng Feng felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but he gradually let it go.

Since encountering the robot Baibai, Cheng Feng's first thought was whether he could climb the technology tree.

Unfortunately, Baibai and Cheng Yi were like a new refrigerator bought home. Although they could be used normally, wanting to understand their manufacturing process was simply a fantasy.

It seemed that the machine dog's situation was similar. Cheng Feng could only temporarily put aside this expectation and continue to think about his next plan.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I can only accept reality." Cheng Feng thought to himself self-comfortingly.

After carefully considering everything, Cheng Feng began to make arrangements.

First of all, he had to give full play to the machine dog's unique information collection and transmission functions, making it a mobile information base. If he could successfully achieve this, then Cheng Feng would have two humanoid mobile phones!

Next was the planning of maps and the marking of special locations such as exotic flowers, rare herbs, and strange beasts. The purpose of doing this was to maximize the machine dog's potential.

As for self-destruction, it was an extreme measure taken by robots when facing desperate situations—generating tremendous destructive power by reversing the energy block. Cheng Feng did not want to encounter this situation one day. After all, no one wanted to see their machine dog disappear like this.

Just then, a red light flashed in the machine dog's single eye, and then Cheng Yi next to him said, "Yes, Master, I have now amplified the signal and can contact Baibai and Cheng Yi. According to Da Zhou's statement, my signal coverage can reach a maximum radius of two hundred kilometers."

Cheng Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that the distance from Liujia Village to Qingxi County was only a mere thirty-plus li, which translated to about fifteen kilometers.

He asked excitedly, "In that case, you, Baibai, and Cheng Yi can directly communicate even if you are two hundred kilometers apart?"

"That's right, and we can also achieve real-time sharing of images."

"That's amazing!" Cheng Feng secretly marveled. The mechanical creatures of Cybertron were indeed extraordinary.

"Very good, then you can move freely, but remember to keep in touch with Baibai and Cheng Yi at all times. Don't exceed the signal range. If there are any emergencies, you can have them relay them to me. Especially regarding the situation of strange beasts and minerals, there is an endless mountain range behind Liujia Village, which contains abundant resources. You can go there and explore it."

Perhaps because the machine dog had higher biological performance, it performed extremely well in terms of information transmission. In just over ten minutes, it successfully copied the entire database of the two robots, Baibai and Cheng Yi.

When the machine dog took the initiative to indicate that everything was ready, Cheng Feng led Baibai and Cheng Yi back to the county town quickly. The machine dog strode off into the darkness with brisk steps.

It would be Cheng Feng's eyes, able to bring all the resources within a two-hundred-mile radius under his control, becoming a sharp weapon in his hand.

As they approached the city gate, Cheng Feng turned around and signaled Baibai and the machine dog to try to communicate. Soon, the machine dog's voice came from Cheng Yi's mouth.

Watching the near real-time communication, Cheng Feng suggested, "You can also follow Cheng Yi's line of sight to understand the structure of the county town, their way of life, etc., and collect as much information about Da Zhou as possible for future use."

"Okay, Master," the machine dog said through Cheng Yi's mouth.

"Also, change your address and just call me Master."

"Okay, Master."

Cheng Feng didn't say more and rushed home with all his might.

Today was really rewarding.
