Truth be told, Hao Ren really did not expect the first found survivor to be a robot.
Only after he got close to further inspect the wreck did he realize what a sorry state the robot was in. Not only was she severed from the waist down, but most of her remaining body parts were also barely intact. Additionally, a majority of her outer shell and synthetic skin had been burnt away by the flames post-crash, resulting in a warped skeletal structure. One arm had come off during her crawl out of the wreckage, and it was about two meters away from her body. The other arm was literally a mess of frame and wiring. As most of the facial features were burnt, Hao Ren could not tell what the robot originally looked like. But from the body shape, he could deduce that it was designed with a feminine body in mind, so Hao Ren decided to use "she" to refer to the downed pilot.
