NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 258: Still Calm Ocean

one day,

A blinding light shone into her tightly closed eyes, trying to wake her up.

嘤~

"It's so annoying!" She pulled the quilt to cover her head, trying to avoid the glare.

【10H.】

[Report: It is now 7:30, time to get up. ]

"Hmm...wait a minute..."

[Suggestion: Get up].

"Let me take a nap..."

【Warning: Get up. 】

"Well……"

The quilt in Qianqian's hand was pulled away, and her body felt a chill.

Assist 006, as 10H's exclusive accompanying support device, will never compromise with her under any circumstances.

"I'm still not used to getting up early...ha..."

She yawned deeply, closed her eyes, and sat up from the bed instead of staying in bed.

Otherwise, the assistant will use more ruthless means to force her to get up.

She stood up and put on her shoes skillfully, feeling the suction from the soles of her feet.

Magnets were installed on the soles of her shoes. She didn't think about the reason and had gotten used to it.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and heard the sound of folding sheets behind her.

The auxiliary machine folded the sheets very neatly with its mechanical arms, placed them in the corner of the bed, and put the pillow on top.

"You don't have to..."

10 shook his head helplessly and sighed, waiting for the auxiliary machine in front of him to complete the action.

This is a rhythm that doesn't want her to take a nap at all.

White walls, white ceiling, white floor, white sheets, white covers, white pillows.

It's white everywhere.

No, it seems that this room, or rather this facility, except for myself and Assist 006, is all white.

The red box of the auxiliary machine,

She also has her own black printed leather dress and cape, black stockings and black leather boots, black combat gloves and black tactical goggles.

And short hair... No, the hair is also white.

There is also a screen that can be seen everywhere on the wall, and the color will change constantly depending on the content being played.

【Water temperature and water pressure are normal. 】

Voice came from the screen.

At this facility, located 10,000 meters below the sea, any slight change could lead to a major accident, so screens like these are everywhere to provide information about the surrounding environment.

【Report: Eat. 】

While she was distracted, the auxiliary machine pushed a white dining cart with a white plate and a white quilt on it.

【Recommendation: Serve while hot. 】

She skillfully picked up the toast on the plate and took a look at it.

Burnt brown.

He mechanically put the bread into his mouth and bit it gently, and felt a dry taste on his tongue.

She picked up the cup and took a sip of the white liquid in it.

[Question: How is the toast? Is the soy milk too thick? ]

"No. But we can live without food."

[Negative: A regular life is healthy and conducive to psychological balance. It is worth spending time doing these things.]

"What a nuisance. This energy is so redundant!"

If you don't eat, you naturally don't have to excrete. 10H doesn't understand this useless thing, it's too troublesome.

However, almost all kinds of human "food" can be completely decomposed by their artificial humans. There is no need to excrete it.

pop~

The toast in his hand fell to the ground. Looking closely, he found that his left thumb and index finger were injured.

"When did you get hurt?"

【Report: Caused by the handling work. 】

“Is there…?”

I don't remember what happened yesterday very clearly. I don't know how long I have been here, and my memory is already confused.

The assistant machine reports on time that it has worked for xxx hours. She is tired of hearing this, and her auditory receptors automatically block out this boring and mechanical information.

She stretched out her right hand, picked up the toast that had fallen on the white floor, and prepared to put it into her mouth.

[Negative: Items dropped on the ground for more than three seconds cannot be eaten. ]

"Ok."

She was delighted, but pretended to be embarrassed and put the toast back on the plate.

【Suggestion: Go hungry.】

"Good~"

She gave a sad smile.

…………

[Report: Current time is 8:00, patrol time has expired. ]

10 and Pod 006 walked in the corridor. The walls, floor, and ceiling of this facility were all white.

After all, it is not easy to deliver materials to a depth of 10,000 meters, let alone the interior decoration.

So she thought.

In fact, when she was sent here, the facility had already been put into use, and she was not aware of the difficulty in the construction process of this huge facility.

Ignoring the slightly higher density of seabed water, a simple calculation based on P=pgh shows that the external pressure here is close to 1000 atmospheres.

If the internal and external pressures are balanced, the density of the gas inside the room should be 1000 times the density of the gas on the surface.

However, his actions did not affect the high density of gas in the facility.

She had to admit that she was amazed at how solid the materials used on the exterior of the facility were.

The facility's shell needs to withstand a pressure of 10 to the 8th power unilaterally without breaking.

The advantage is that mechanical creatures can't reach here.

Behind the white door are white backup servers, just in case.

It contains a backup of the Lunar Human Conference Server data, as well as data on all YoRHa troops.

Compared to the data of the YoRHa troops, the data of human beings is the most important thing in the world.

"Server No. 21, normal."

【Warning: Please check carefully. 】

The pod scolded 10H, who was in a hurry to close the door and leave. She helplessly responded, “I don’t understand these things.”

With limited facility space, huge amounts of data, advanced technology and means, the server structure here is quite complex and strange.

10H thought:

【Thinking about their principles and structures, there are scanning type models to replace them.

For someone like me who specializes in repairing and adjusting therapeutic machines, it would be a daydream if I tried to understand its structure.

I don't know who said that the world is a makeshift team, and everyone is forced to do things. I don't understand, but it doesn't matter, as long as the auxiliary machine understands them. 】

In server room No. 16, there are also 006 auxiliary machines busy working.

Compared with the white walls, ceiling and servers, the 16 red auxiliary machines stand out.

Not only is it conspicuous, it is also annoying.

[Proposal: Today is a good day, should we change the order of the data another day? ]

[Not recommended: Do not change the placement of data without authorization. ]

【Answer: Let’s do it another day.】

[Report: I heard that today's lucky number is nine. ]

【Question: What about yesterday? 】

[Answer: Also number nine.]

【Suggestion: How about working upside down? 】

【Rejection: Are you serious? 】

【Negative: Of course I was joking.】

She rubbed her temples and listened to your words as if she were listening to a speech.

Never mind.

My work is also completed under the guidance of the auxiliary machine.

The job content is that once there is a problem with the auxiliary machine, you need to repair it under the guidance of another auxiliary machine.

This is her job as an H-type stationed here.

However, she did not recall the auxiliary machine having malfunctioned several times.

After all, if the problem is too serious, they can fix it, and the auxiliary machine is also installed with a simple repair program. Basically, it is not my turn to do it.

"Look, there's not a single red light on, which means there's no problem."

【Understood: Okay, that's it. 】

All the auxiliary machines 006 here look the same, and she is not sure whether the one following her now is the same one as yesterday.

Even when he turned around, the 006 that was following was replaced by another one.

She walked out of the server room and climbed the stairs. The servers here were connected like a spider web, with a road full of curves and slopes and annoying stairs.

"I hate it! It's so troublesome to walk!"

【Negative: Walking as a form of exercise is good for psychological balance.】

"I know, I know! These shoes are so uncomfortable..."

The soles of her shoes were attached with magnets, which made her movements very inconvenient.

【Suggestion: Don’t complain, just walk away! 】

"Hey……"

[Question: Did you hear that?]

"Yes... yes, I heard it..."
