Dorm Chat 1 宿舍对话 1

ShaleHuff—Alright, this is it嘿哟——好了，这样位置就对了。

ShaleAre you afraid I'll end up breaking the other furniture if I hold it with one hand? Pardon me; I'll be more careful.诶？教授一副担忧的样子呢，担心我单手拿着它会磕坏家具吗？失礼了，那我小心一点哦。

ShaleHm? No, it's not heavy at all. It's just a bed. It's nothing compared to my drilling gear.嗯？一点也不重啊，只是一张大床而已，还不如我的装备重呢。

ShaleMy equipment was designed to drill for and gather information on oil deposits in varied environments. Just like me, they're made strong enough to work in high-pressure, high-heat, and other such adverse environments.我这些装备，都是为了能够在不同环境下勘探以及采集石油资源设计的。它们和我一样，都被设计成了可以在高压、高温等恶劣环境中使用的强度。

ShaleYou want to know how I managed to reproduced them on the cloud? I specially commissioned Miss Riko to get the appropriate materials. Hm? How much did it cost? Well, it was about this much... Huh? Professor, why are you making a face like that?为了能够在云端还原这些装备，我专门委托了理子小姐帮我找齐材料哦。嗯？价格？大概是这个数字……咦？教授你为什么会露出这样的表情？

Dorm Chat 2 宿舍对话 2

ShaleBig W and Little w are my cats from reality. They were originally raised by one of my other colleagues and ended up running around the oil field. However, they're more safety-conscious than some of the workers and they rarely ever left the rest area.达不溜和小不溜是我在现实中的猫哦。它们原本是其他同事养的猫咪，经常在开采区乱晃。不过，这些聪明的小家伙比有些员工还注意安全，从不轻易离开休息区域呢。

ShaleAt first, they seemed quite repulsed by the smell of crude oil on me... But after I spent three months learning how cats behave, they ended up plastering themselves all over me.最开始的时候，它们似乎对我身上原油的气味很抗拒的样子……但是在我花了三个月研究猫咪的走路姿势后，它们就完全黏上我了哦。

ShaleThat human colleague of mine left my workplace some time later and entrusted them to me. They're my only friends in an otherwise deserted oil field.后来人类同事也离开了，它们就被托付给了我。在冷清的开采区，它们就是我仅有的同伴啦。

ShaleWhenever I come back to the dorms after work each night, they're always waiting for me at the door.每天晚上我结束工作回到宿舍的时候，它们都会在门口等候我呢。

Dorm Chat 3 宿舍对话 3

ShaleMotive output check complete, fire safety devices checked, proceeding to re-apply anti-shock membrane...动力输出检查完毕，防火装置确认，防爆设备确认，开始更新抗静电覆膜……

ShaleHmm? Is someone knocking on the door? Professor, is that you? Ah, a moment please, I'll get the door! What are you doing here, Professor? Do you need to speak to me?嗯？敲门声？教授？啊，稍等，我来开门！教授怎么来啦，有什么事要找我吗？

ShaleOh—come on then, have a look! This is our current work environment.噢——来吧，请看！这就是我们现在的工作环境啦。

ShaleYou want to know what I was doing just now? It was a routine inspection, just one of my habits.刚才吗？我正在进行例行检查，这是我一直以来的习惯啦。

ShaleWhether on the cloud or in real life, even the smallest spark or discharge of static electricity could cause a huge disaster at a drill site. Therefore, both me and my gear need to be specially prepared to ensure everything goes smoothly...不论是在云端还是现实，能源开采区中，哪怕是一点点火星，或者是一点点小小的静电都可能引发巨大的灾难。所以不论是设备还是我自己，都必须进行特殊处理，保证一切的安全——

ShaleOh yes, Professor! Could you help stick the anti-shock membrane on my back? I can't quite reach it. Huh? It's not appropriate? But doesn't this sort of thing happen in manga all the time?啊对了，教授可以帮我给后背贴上抗静电覆膜吗？我、有点够不到。诶……不合适？但是漫画里不是经常有这样的情节吗？

Dorm Chat 4 宿舍对话 4

ShaleWorking with everyone else in the Engineering Bureau is tiring but fun. Oh dear, I made a strange face again.和工程局的大家一起工作，真是幸福又有趣呢。啊，我又表现出一副新奇的样子啦。

ShaleAs you know, oil has always been a vital resource, and crude oil and natural gas are even rarer than before. In order to protect these natural resources, I've been working constantly at drill sites ever since I was activated...其实呢，教授也知道，石油一直都是重要资源，现在原油和天然气比起以前又更加珍稀了。所以为了保护这些稀有资源，我自从唤醒开始就一直在开采区工作……

ShaleI wasn't allowed to set foot outside a drill site until I joined Project Neural Cloud so this is my first time working with so many co-workers.直到加入云图计划之前，我都不被允许走出开采区域。能够像这样和许多同事一起交流合作，这样的体验还是第一次呢。

ShaleAh, don't get the wrong idea, Professor. Life on a drill site isn't that bad. The food is good, the accommodations are great, and I get a hefty paycheck too.啊，别误会哦教授，在开采区的生活倒也没有那么糟糕啦。饭菜十分好吃，宿舍也是金碧辉煌的，我还有丰厚的收入哦。

ShaleApart from the fact that it's hard to contact the outside world, there aren't many things that bother me there. Well, it does get a little lonely at times...除了不方便和外界联系外，其实也没有多少困扰的事。一定要说的话，也就是有一点点孤单吧……

Dorm Chat 5 宿舍对话 5

ShaleProfessor, this is the list of books I'd like to order and Riko's payment in Diggcoins. Angela recommended these books to me and naturally there are some I've always wanted to read.教授，这是我这一次想要申请的书单，还有支付给理子的底格币。这些都是安吉拉她们推荐我的书哦，当然也有一些我自己一直想看的东西。

ShaleYou want to know why I'm always reading physical books? Hmm... I wonder if I should call it a habit or a hobby?为什么一直读实体书？嗯……该说是我的习惯好呢，还是兴趣呢？

ShaleLike I said last time, I had a hard time experiencing the outside world at my previous workplace. Most of the data in my neural cloud pertains to petrochemical processing, with hardly anything else...就像上次和教授说的，我在以前工作的地方很难接触到外界的事物。我的心智里预装的大多是石油化工相关资料，其他的东西少之又少……

ShaleSince the network connection at my drill sites wasn't good, the books which my human colleagues left behind were my main source of literature. Flipping paper pages is a marvelous feeling, as though I could touch the outside world with my fingers.在通讯网络不便的情况下，人类同事们留下来的书本，就是我最好的读物了。翻阅纸质书页的时候，会有一种能够触碰外面世界的奇妙感觉呢。

ShaleLife in the cloud is very fun, Professor. There are many things here which I haven't seen before and they make me even more curious about the world my books describe...云端的生活真的很快乐哦，很多东西都是我从没真正见过的。只是这样，我就对书中讲述的世界更加好奇了……

ShaleIf we ever return to the real world, would you mind taking me exploring, Professor?教授，如果有一天我们回到现实，可以请你带我去走走吗？
