Chapter 316 Emotional Value

  ...

  It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Shen Ye and 2B went out. Although they were in a desert area, it still got dark quickly. After all, the environment here was caused by the war, not the climate.

  Although it was dark, the streets of the camp were brightly lit, and countless lighting equipment made the camp as bright as day.

  In addition to Shen Ye and 2B, there are also busy androids on the street. They are renovating the camp all night long, and the lighting equipment is prepared to facilitate their work.

  The reason why they were renovating the camp day and night was to make the environment here better and more convenient for Shen Ye to live in. Shen Ye himself knew this.

  "It's really hard for them."

  Thinking that these artificial humans had to work so hard just because he didn't want to go to the lunar human base, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, but at the same time he also felt a little empathy, because he knew how hard the workers worked.

  2B, who had been following him closely and never looked away from him, shook her head slightly when she heard what he said. "They don't feel it's hard, but rather an honor. Serving the commander is their dream. I wonder how many androids envy them! Not just any android can participate in the construction of the camp. After all, they are very close to you in the camp, so no matter how hard the work is, they will only feel happy."

  "You make it sound like I'm the boss exploiting others while they work overtime all day." 2B's words made Shen Ye murmur to himself, feeling even more guilty.

  After a pause, Shen Ye looked at 2B and said, "So you should be very happy now."

  After saying this, Shen Ye felt that he was asking a question even though he already knew the answer. 2B's eyes never left him, and the smile on her face had never left her face since she left the house.

  "Of course." 2B nodded vigorously. She then looked around and continued, "Not only do I feel happy, I also feel lucky to have met you so early and to have fought alongside you. This is something that even the commander would envy."

  2B's expression was a little smug when she said this. She had heard other androids express envy when they talked about this on the public channel more than once.

  "In that case, then let others envy you even more." Looking at 2B's somewhat vain expression, Shen Ye smiled. Androids also need emotional value feedback.

  Thinking back to when she was at home, with A2 and Accord around, she had no chance at all. Shen Ye felt that he had to provide 2B with emotional value, so he hugged 2B under countless envious gazes and whispered, "Do you know what you should do next?"

  2B blinked, and it took her a while to understand, and she immediately offered her red lips...

  When she returned home, 2B looked dazed as if she was drunk. She seemed not yet awake from her great happiness and vanity. She did not come to her senses until Shen Ye let go of her hand. After looking at Shen Ye who yawned and entered the room, she walked to where 11B slept and sat down. She told her what happened tonight as if to show off. Naturally, she received a lot of envious words.

  Listening to the low whispers coming from outside the room, Shen Ye also noticed the look 11B gave him. He couldn't help but sigh again. He might have to go out again tomorrow.

  …

  Nowadays, Shen Ye no longer needs to participate in battles and camp construction, and his most important thing at the moment is to provide various emotional values ​​to the artificial people, and then show his face from time to time, give some speeches, and motivate the artificial people to work hard.

  This made him feel more like a capitalist.

  But he soon got used to his status and the comfortable life it brought him. He lived a life of having food and clothes provided for him, and he was so happy that he didn't want to leave.

  However, as time went by, the camp was gradually improved and the construction of the artificial human factory was coming to the final stage, and he had more and more things to consider.

  Finally, after nearly a month, the first artificial human factory was completed, which was nearly half a month faster than expected.

  The factory was built, and as the commander of the androids, Shen Ye naturally had to go over to take a look. Then he gave a speech and received countless admiring looks and enthusiastic cheers.

  Several days passed like this, and Shen Ye became busier and busier. During these days, the Android Headquarters held several meetings, which were basically about the counterattack on mechanical life. Although he did not need to make any speeches or do anything else, and just sat at the head of the conference table, he still felt tired.

  What he hated most in his life was meetings. He didn't expect that even after his subordinates were all artificial humans, he still couldn't escape the torture of meetings.

  And today, there is another new summary meeting. Shen Ye still sits in the first seat, and White is still sitting next to her.

  He tapped the conference table with his fingers out of boredom. Although it was very rude, no one said anything to him. Instead, some people even asked him considerately if he wanted to put a cloth under the conference table, apparently fearing that his fingers would be hurt from tapping.

  "The first batch of androids have completed acceptance testing. All indicators meet the standards of the YoRHa model. After installing the core and implanting the data, they can be started normally."

  "The new database has been built, the best firewall system has been set up, and there are no backdoors left. We can consider transferring the data now."

  "We have also built a new master control system. In the future, we can upload android data directly to the master control system instead of uploading it to the bunker or other orbital bases."

  "Yesterday, we sent out more than a dozen android combat teams to clear out a large number of machine life tribes and recapture three large mining areas and several small machine life factories. Those factories are well preserved and only need a simple transformation before they can be put into use. However, they can only produce old model androids, not the YoRHa model."

  "The lunar factory has also entered the final stages and is expected to be put into use in a week..."

  Because it was a summary meeting, the senior executives of the androids were all talking about the progress of their work. It sounded like the progress was good and the situation was very encouraging.

  When the last android executive finished his speech, Shen Ye was already bored and wanted to sleep, but he still tried to sit up straight as much as possible. After all, he still had to pay attention to his image in front of the androids.

  Although, the androids don't care.
