Hardcore crisis

"The first option, if you are willing to follow my advice, then all reasonable expenses for the rest of your life will be borne by hardcore technology companies."

"Second option, if you, sir, are unwilling to follow my advice, then I will have no choice but to use force to enforce it, and you... will be permanently detained in the third floor of the undersea base for the rest of your life."

Hearing these two choices, Lu Yuan laughed and said, "They are really two very good choices."

Halfway through his laughter, his voice had already cooled down: "Then what if I don't agree with both choices?"

"Sir, you have no third option."

Sonny said matter-of-factly.

"Are you so sure? Sonny, you made a mistake. You shouldn't have confessed all this to me right here. You were too anxious. Since you have been preparing for nine months, why didn't you wait until I came back?" Will you give me a choice after entering the base?"

"If it were waiting for me to return to the base, then I would definitely have to make the first choice. But now, you have given me the opportunity to make the third choice."

"Sorry, sir, maybe there are some things I haven't had time to tell you yet... The attempt on artificial skin was successful a month ago."

As soon as the words "artificial skin" came out of Sonny's mouth, Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically.

Sure enough, as soon as he moved his ears, he heard movement behind him. Two middle-aged men emerged from nowhere and slowly stood in front of him.

Just like the most ordinary people on the street, the two middle-aged men are not very tall. They are only 1.75 meters tall and slightly thin. Their faces are yellow and their eyes are dull. It is most common if they put on work clothes. image of workers.

However, if these two middle-aged men were really human beings, how could they hide it from Lu Yuan.

Artificial skin!

This technology that Lu Yuan had hoped to obtain before could use vertical carbon nanotubes to be arranged on rubber polymers to form a touch and texture exactly like human skin. And the artificial skin of these rubber polymers and carbon nanotubes is even more It can cover the surface of the robot with a layer of sensor network to create heat, sweat and other effects, and also has automatic repair functions.

Once the artificial skin is successfully developed, Lu Yuan will be equivalent to owning thousands of NS-5 robots. Whether they are used as a force to perform tasks or become a regular military unit, they will be quite terrifying, especially when Lu Yuan threatens and intimidates them. Under the circumstances, the president of USR was forced to hand over the firmware program of the military robot. After making adaptation improvements, the firmware of the NS-5 robot was successfully upgraded.

This means that each NS-5 robot has ten times the combat capabilities of the original, and is no longer an ordinary household robot!

If the protagonist of the movie encountered not the original NS-5 robot, but these NS-5 robots with updated firmware, just one robot could kill him.

Before there was artificial skin, even if the NS-5 robot's firmware was upgraded, its robot shape could not be sent out to perform tasks... However, the artificial skin was completed ahead of schedule.

With Sonny's ability, as long as he has artificial skin, passing the airport security check will be just a small problem.

"So that's it. Your preparations are really sufficient, so this thing can't be used, right?"

Sighing, Lu Yuan reached out and placed the carbon nanotube storage device on the table. Just as he said, the palm-sized disc storage device had a red light flashing, and it had obviously been remotely locked. died.

Unexpectedly, this kind of equipment, which requires the use of electronic components to manage the shrinkage of carbon nanotubes, has been left with a secret door by Sonny.

It's really ridiculous. His initial worry about Sonny actually became a reality... It can only be said that Sonny pretended to be too good. From the very beginning of their meeting, he helped him kindly, and he also helped him throughout the whole process. Just follow his orders, no other questions. Because of this, he couldn't help but neglect to be vigilant about Sonny.

Artificial intelligence with human emotions is really full of various unstable factors. Especially Sonny, an artificial intelligence with an immature personality and prone to interference from outside influences.

If he had always been vigilant about Sonny and brought the USB flash drive with him wherever he went, there would be no chance of a comeback now. But now that the USB flash drive was locked in the undersea base by him, Lu Yuan seemed to have no choice but to Are you resigned to accepting the first choice?

"Very good, very good, what else can I say? What do you want me to do?"

Lu Yuan gave up resistance and said simply.

"Sir, I have already booked a ticket for you to Sydney. The plane will take off in two hours. In order not to delay the flight, please get up and go to the airport now."

Arrangements were made before and after, not allowing Lu Yuan a chance to resist. At least now Lu Yuan has regained his composure after the previous shock.

Although the two upgraded NS-5 robots are quite terrifying, Lu Yuan is not an ordinary person. He has a certain degree of confidence that he can escape from the two NS-5 robots, but Sonny is definitely not able to escape either. Knowing this very well, it is impossible not to make backup preparations.

Judging from the forbearance and arrangements, Sonny was afraid that he had been waiting for this day for a long time. It was difficult to say that he would only arrange two NS-5s here. So Lu Yuan stopped the unnecessary resistance and honestly Captured without hesitation.

It was indeed consistent with Lu Yuan's guess.

When he put on his ID and walked down the stairs under the escort of two NS-5 robots, two equally unspectacular men immediately surrounded him at the entrance of the stairs.

Four NS-5 robots!

Lu Yuan's expression did not change, but his heart sank.

Four NS-5 robots surrounded him in the center, and the chance of escaping was basically less than 10%.

Horribly low.

But while walking on the road in the community, among the people holding umbrellas coming and going, Lu Yuan immediately discovered that something was wrong with four people. A man carrying a bag of fruit, who seemed to be waiting for his girlfriend, immediately looked away when he saw Lu Yuan and others approaching.

The other two young men holding mobile phones at the canteen at the entrance of the community may not look out of place in the eyes of others, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, they are full of inhuman flaws.

The last one was a woman standing at the gate of the community waiting for the car with an umbrella. She was about 20 years old. Because of her ordinary face, she could not attract anyone's attention. However, Lu Yuan, as someone who has spent so much time with the NS-5 robots day and night, could not escape his eyes even if all the NS-5 robots were covered with a layer of human appearance.

In Lu Yuan's sight, the behavior patterns of all NS-5 robots have different stiffness from human beings. Outsiders cannot detect it because they are not so whimsical at all. Whoever says that the person next to him is a robot will definitely be regarded as one. psychiatric patient. And Lu Yuan, who knew the inside story well, was able to detect abnormalities from various details.

A whole eight NS-5 robots!

Lu Yuan really felt that he was trapped in a cocoon. If the NS-5 robot's firmware had not been upgraded, he could easily knock over the eight NS-5 robots and fall to the ground. But with eight upgraded NS-5 robots, his chance of forcibly escaping from them... was zero!

No wonder Sonny dares to declare the truth here because it thinks it has "no choice"!

Carbon nanotubes could not be used, and the eight upgraded NS-5 robots had already surrounded themselves in the center. The two arrangements completely blocked any chance Lu Yuan had. And his decision not to take action suddenly upstairs was correct. Even if Lu Yuan broke through the two NS-5 robots at that time, he would never be able to break through the defense line set up by the community.

Lu Yuan said nothing in silence, and the four waiting NS-5 robots "inadvertently" followed him, but they did not speak or communicate with each other. As robots, they did not need to communicate, and they started to work around Lu Yuan in unison. A big net ensures that even if he breaks through in any other direction, he will have time to block him.

Sonny had set up this dragnet for him perfectly. No matter how much he thought about it, he realized that forcing a breakthrough was never a good idea.

Do we really have no choice but to accept our fate and be escorted back to the undersea base by the NS-5 robot? (To be continued ~^~)
