Chapter 11: Pupil mirror and wrist brain
There are no longer large or small mountains of garbage ahead, but a relatively open flat land. The two-story building is surrounded by a large metal mesh, and Jock can vaguely see the blue stars flashing from time to time on it.
It's actually an isolated power grid.
Above the main entrance of the power grid, there was a mechanical eyeball the size of a basketball. When the three of them appeared not far away, the big eyeball looked over.
Gazes like scanning passed in front of the three people one after another, and then they heard a "click" and the door under their eyes opened automatically.
"Welcome...to the...Spider...shop!" The big eyes made a stiff mechanical simulation sound, two words, two words in one sentence.
Kate took the lead and led the way, Jock pulled the trolley and followed silently behind her, while Rupert, who was already covered in "meat", walked excitedly at the back.
After entering the range of the power grid, Jiao Ke habitually observed the surrounding environment.
The field of view was quite wide, and there were various mechanical parts everywhere on the ground with some weeds. Two robots were cleaning the house, but they did not react at all to the arrival of the three people.
The door, which had been repaired with countless layers of metal skin, opened with a sliding sound, and Jock immediately saw the tall machines with flashing lights inside, like neatly arranged vertical cabinets.
The bottom of the entire house is supported by thick metal pillars. A metal pedal slowly slides down from the threshold. With it, a trolley can be pulled directly in.
On the walls around the house, there are many mechanical arm-like things, they are shaking like tentacles, and there is an eye at the tip like the door.
Under careful observation by Qiao Ke, there were many dark holes on these mechanical arms.
The three of them walked into the house one after another.
A teenager wearing a coil cap, a T-shirt with exaggerated graffiti and jeans was sitting on a swivel chair and looking at Jock and the others.
On his right wrist, he wears a dark gold metal collar. A small bump on the collar is emitting a holographic image. Judging from the shape, it should be a scanner.
The holographic scanner emits a burst of blue light, and the light curtain instantly sweeps across the three people and the trolley. Jock discovered that the boy's right pupil was flashing with blue light, and these lights combined to form various strange patterns.
After a few seconds, the holographic scanner on the boy's wristband and the light in his eyes disappeared at the same time.
"150 Camilla." The boy's voice was without any emotion.
"Okay." Kate seemed to have already gotten used to what happened just now, and agreed directly without saying anything more.
After hearing Kate's affirmative reply, the boy turned his chair and turned his back to face the three of them.
Immediately afterwards, the boy clicked on the desktop, and a blue light screen display immediately appeared. He continued to tap on the desktop, as if tapping on a keyboard, with the light flashing.
"Today's expenditure: 150 Camila." Such a record was displayed on the blue light screen.
"Give."
The boy had already sat on the chair and turned around, handing the three coins in his hand to Kate.
"Thank you!" Kate happily took it, and after confirming it, she put the coin into her pocket.
"Next week, I will be able to save enough money to buy a wristwatch." Kate said happily.
'Wrist brain?'
Jock didn't know what it was. There were too many novel things in this world for him.
"Add three mice." The young man stretched out three fingers on his right hand: "I can sell you a pair of wrist brains today. In addition, I will give you a pair of eyeglasses."
The boy's face was still expressionless. He looked at Kate: "Of course, the decision is yours."
"Buy! Let's buy!"
Before Kate could speak, Rupert was the first to express his position. He quickly walked to the young man and handed the three largest rat corpses hanging on his body to the young man.
"These are the three biggest ones. They were all caught on the road just now. They are very fresh!"
Kate was also overjoyed. She took out all the coins in her pocket, counted them carefully, and handed them all to the boy.
"Thank you, Pearl, you are so generous!" Kate said happily.
"It turns out that this boy's name is Per." Jock remembered his name in his heart.
"come on."
Per still looked indifferent. He opened a drawer under the table and took out a pair of black wristbands that were similar to the ones he wore on his wrists.
However, this wristband looked much shabbier than his.
"It needs to be activated." Pell held the wristband in his hand and said to Kate.
Kate nodded, then stood in front of Pell, then turned around and turned her back to him.
Pell put the black wristband under the back of Kate's head. He heard a soft "dip" sound, and the black wristband emits a light blue halo, and then immediately returned to its original shape.
"That's it."
Kate turned around excitedly and put on the black wristband that Pell had given her on her left hand. She gently tapped the wristband with her right index finger, and a holographic image immediately appeared on the bump of the wristband.
It's herself.
"Identity verification has been activated!" Kate raised her left arm, turned it gently, and said happily to Rupert and Jock.
"Not bad!" Jock responded with a smile. Although he didn't understand the specific function of this thing, it didn't stop him from being happy for Kate.
It must be a good thing!
Rupert said nothing, but the excitement on his face already showed his mood at the moment.
"Come here and install the eyeglasses for you." Pell's voice was like a machine without emotions.
At this moment, his right hand was holding a 30 cm long metal needle.
The tips of the needles were transformed into the shape of a tripod. They were like tiny fingers holding a small piece of almost transparent light blue film.
Jock looked at the small film, and a word immediately came to his mind: contact lenses.
‘Pupillary lenses?’ He continued to look at it curiously, wondering what the specific function of this thing that looked exactly like contact lenses was.
Kate stood in front of Pell. The two were very close at this time. Kate leaned forward slightly so that her field of vision was parallel to Pell.
Pell slowly moved the metal needle in his hand towards Kate's right eye, and the tripod held the contact lens in place.
'This way of wearing contact lenses is really special.'
Rupert and he both stood quietly, waiting for the scene to be completed.
Jock calmly adjusted his position so that he could clearly see the entire process.
I saw that the contact lens perfectly covered the pupil of Kate's right eye, and the originally golden eyes gained a layer of light blue.
Chapter completed!
