The Cubs Picked Up Are All Villains

 Ruan Shiqing plunged into the database of Metis and was unable to come out.

    The books in the primary database filled his gaps and solved many of his doubts. He was like a sponge, impatient to absorb water, reading books one by one, and unknowingly writing down most of the books in the notebook at hand.

    It wasn't until Xiong Yuanyuan came to the door with the parts and knocked, that he was called back to the real world. 

    He turned off the virtual screen and stood up, but suddenly felt the world spinning. Fortunately, 09 supported him in time and said worriedly, "Sir, you have been reading for three consecutive days. Your body needs to rest."

    Ruan Shiqing realized, "I used it for three days?"

    09 nodded. "Yes, for three days and three nights without response."

    No wonder he felt dizzy and weak, Ruan Shiqing rubbed his bulging temples, feeling a headache at his bad habit of being addicted to books he liked. The same was true in the original world, often forgetting to eat and sleep because of indulging in new projects.

    While welcoming Xiong Yuanyuan in, he drank a cup of warm water to quench his thirst, "What about the cubs? Are they okay?"

    "The little masters are very worried about you." 09 handed him the nutritional supplement. "Please gain some energy first."

    Ruan Shiqing drank a tube of nutritional supplements and felt a little more energetic. "I'll go see them later."

    Xiong Yuanyuan was waiting on the side, so Ruan Shiqing had to count the parts first. Most of the parts needed on the modification list were here, and the remaining small parts needed to take time to replace.

    "Thank you." Ruan Shiqing transferred the star coins to him, remembered the AI, and asked, "Have you seen Zhinao's AI? What do they generally look like?"

    ? ? ?

    Xiong Yuanyuan scratched his head. "I have never used Zhinao, but after seeing others use it, Zhinao's AI is cold, right? Is it similar to a robot?"

    After seeing the busy 09, he quickly changed his words and said, "That's not right, there are also lively ones like 09, maybe there are also in AI."

    The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

    Ruan Shiqing thought about it, and felt that what Xiong Yuanyuan said was not unreasonable. 09 is very humane, maybe Noah is the same? When he bought it, the shopping guide did mention that this smart brain is a classic smart brain of Naxi company, and perhaps the AI equipped in it is also more advanced. But no matter what, the casual black system is odd.

    Ruan Shiqing dispelled his doubts and decided to study Noah next time.

    After making an appointment with Xiong Yuanyuan to go to the underground market to find materials tomorrow, Ruan Shiqing went upstairs to see the cubs.

    The little mermaid sank to the bottom of the water and blew bubbles. He didn’t see his father for three days in a row. He was a little helpless-- in his weak cognition, only parents can treat their cubs so well. Ruan Shiqing gave him a little duck, built a small pool for him, and carefully kept his cut hair as a keepsake. In his memory, in addition to the cold laboratory, the dwindling number of his kind had never felt of such warmth and happiness.

    He has unilaterally regarded Ruan Shiqing as his father.

    Hearing the sound of footsteps, he jumped out of the water, his fish tail swayed cheerfully, and he stretched out his hand towards Ruan Shiqing on the edge of the bucket: "Ah!"

    "Sorry for worrying you." Ruan Shiqing took a towel and wrapped him, held him in his arms, and touched his head lightly. The little mermaid squinted and rubbed against his palm. Ruan Shiqing looked at him and said in surprise, "Is the wound on your face much better?"

    The little mermaid's long blue hair was cut short, and the ends were just up to his chin, sticking wetly to his cheeks. They highlighted his delicate facial features even more, but at the same time, made the wounds on his face more obvious. Fortunately, the wound has begun to heal gradually and does not look as ferocious as before.

    Listening to what he said, the little mermaid subconsciously turned his head to take a look at the water's surface, then turned back and nodded heavily at Ruan Shiqing. There was also a little pride when he raised his tail to show him the newly grown scales on the tail fin.

    The new scales on the tail were not as soft and weak as before and glowed with a healthy luster in the sun, a very beautiful sapphire blue. 

    Ruan Shiqing touched it lightly with his fingertips and praised, "It turned out to be a little blue mermaid. It's even more beautiful than I imagined."

    After speaking, he observed the little mermaid's expression. The little mermaid who had received the compliment was really happy, his chin was slightly raised, and his blue eyes were bright. This is a little mermaid who only pays attention to appearance and likes to be praised.

    Ruan Shiqing smiled secretly.

    Rong Heng, who heard their movement and came out of the room, saw this scene and couldn't help but snort.

    He squatted at the side, noticing the blue and black bags under Ruan Shiqing's eyes, and snorted again.

    Ruan Shiqing noticed him, bent over, and picked him up while yawning, and walked into the room. "Take a nap with Dad."

    ? ? ?

    Rong Heng twisted in disgust but did not break free from his restraint.

    On the contrary, the little mermaid was very happy. He took a towel to dry his hair, then sat down obediently by the bed. He even deliberately picked up Ruan Shiqing's pillow, patted it, and put it back, indicating that Ruan Shiqing could sleep.

    Ruan Shiqing smiled and gave him a thumbs up, took a shower, changed into pajamas, came out, and lay on the fluffy pillow patted by the little mermaid.

    When he was about to sleep, he remembered something. "Do you have a name?" 

    Of course, he asked the little mermaid. The little mermaid's eyes darkened. When he was in the laboratory, those people called him "047". He shook his head. With a low "ah" sound, he grabbed Ruan Shiqing's fingers.

    "Then I'll give you one, okay?" Ruan Shiqing pointed at the puppy. "His name is Xueqiu, you should have a name too."

    He thought about it, touched the little mermaid's short blue hair, and said, "How about just being called Ruan Yuebai? We will have the same surname. In my country, the color of the moon is light blue. It matches you well." (OG, it's yue is moon and bai is white, it's difficult to phrase properly, )

    Ruan Yuebai. The little mermaid solemnly recited the name in his heart and nodded vigorously. From now on, he is not 047 of the laboratory, but Ruan Yuebai. He clenched Ruan Shiqing's fingers and shook them happily.

    Rong Heng frowned. You put so much effort into naming the artificial mermaid but treated me so casually. Snowball is just the name of a kitten and a dog. His Royal Highness the Prince lowered his head and looked at himself. Am I not as good as an artificial mermaid? This does not make sense. Unreasonable!

    The two cubs took a nap with him, and Ruan Shiqing woke up feeling full of energy. In order to make up for the neglect of these three days, he brought the two cubs with him when he went downstairs to work.

    The small pool in the yard of the first floor had not yet been built, so the little mermaid sat on the chair wrapped in a large towel, looking curiously at the books on Ruan Shiqing's workbench. It was easier for the pup to settle down. He found a soft cushion and put it on the workbench, so he could play or sleep as he pleased.

    After doing this, he was worried that the cubs would be hungry, and it would be difficult to notice when he was focused on work. So, Ruan Shiqing went to the kitchen to get them a few tubes of nutritional supplements.

    When he went into the kitchen, he noticed that there were four tubes of nutritional supplements on the window sill. Ruan Shiqing frowned suspiciously. When was this taken out? 

    But, since he was in a hurry to get to work, he didn't think too much about it. He took the four tubes and put them all on the workbench, telling the cubs to eat by themselves if they were hungry.

    09, who was building a small pool in the yard, noticed and said loudly, "Don't worry, sir, I will tell the little masters to eat on time." The last time Master Snowball couldn't unscrew the nutrient cap, he helped!

    After setting up the cubs, Ruan Shiqing opened the notebook and concentrated on work.

    In the past three days, he read dozens of professional books in the database of Metis and basically understood the level of technology in this world. He also has some ideas on how to modify the engine of the shuttle racing car.

    It's a bit strange to say that the technology of this world is not far from the technology of his original world. Many technological products exist in two different worlds, but the time of invention, the principle of operation and names have been subtly changed. For example, the neuron connection helmet in this world was called the holographic cabin in his original world.

    In this world, the neuron helmet has been merged with the intellectual brain, which has become very convenient, and the holographic network has long been popularized. But in the original world, the holographic network has not been around for a long time, the holographic cabin has only been updated to the fifth generation, and the more convenient holographic helmet is still being tested.

    This does not mean that the technology level of the original world lags behind. Although the development of the holographic network is relatively lagging behind, his world is more advanced in terms of energy and power.

    Take engine energy as an example. The most advanced engine energy in the world uses tokamak nuclear fusion technology to create small or even miniature tokamak reactors, which absorb a large amount of hydrogen through palladium as a raw material. But nuclear fusion produces ultra-high temperatures, and almost no container can withstand temperatures several times higher than the core of a star. So this world was extracted from the shell of the Zerg, and a new metal "Worm" was invented. 

(The Author's nuclear physics for the made-up world. Take with a grain of salt.)

    This new type of metal can withstand high temperatures and is a good container. But it also has a fatal flaw, that is, this metal depends on the Zerg. Once the Zerg are eliminated, the metal will gradually cut off the supply. If a new energy supply method cannot be developed before this time, the empire's energy supply will be disrupted, causing an energy supply crisis.

    But in his original world, the tokamak nuclear fusion technology was only in the stage of small-scale experiments and was almost shelved because no high-temperature resistant container could be found. Instead, antimatter energy was prevalent. By allowing equal amounts of positive and negative matter to meet, an annihilation effect occurs, and the explosion generates huge energy. The energy conversion efficiency of this energy supply method is as high as 100%, and the power of making weapons is even greater.

    And the world he was originally in had completely mastered the method of converting matter into antimatter through the "mirror method", and had also promoted and applied this technology to various fields.

    But in this world, antimatter was still just a theory that was in the stage of conjecture and had not yet been successfully demonstrated.

    Two different worlds are like two branches growing out of the same big tree, with the same source, but each has its own strengths.

The author has something to say:
