The mechanic.

"No!" Zhang Shuo rejected Zhang Xun's proposal without even thinking about it, and absently looked at the battle damage report that had just been sent to him.

Zhang Xun was mentally prepared, and continued to argue, "We bought the shield system from the Russian army, and the source code was generated by Eden. If he checks it, it may be ten times faster than the original self-repair speed." Times. Now that the shields are down, if the US fires one more air bomb, we're all done!"

"If he is hijacked by Eden, or if he turns his back and completely destroys the shield, we will be finished too!" Zhang Shuo raised his hawk-like eyes and stared at his son who still refused to give up, "You haven't finished your mission yet." Adam's domestication, but was persuaded by it, what does it look like?! Now you get out of the air-raid shelter and don't interfere with me."

Zhang Xun also had the guts to block his father's way this time, "We hijacked him but didn't dare to use him. If that's the case, why do we hijack him!"

"I've said it before! It's a double-edged sword. Unless we have completely controlled him, the séance plan is likely to be our doom!"

"We will never be able to completely control him!" Zhang Xun said loudly, "Because he is much higher than us! In front of him, we are just a group of primitive monkeys!"

Zhang Shuo grabbed Zhang Xun by the collar and stared at him dangerously, "From the very beginning, I was opposed to the Shenshen plan, if it wasn't for several chiefs who believed you to do those useless things..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pushed Zhang Xun away.Zhang Xun stumbled back a few steps, raised his head, and saw that Zhang Shuo was already walking towards the command hall in a hurry.

The pain of anger and injury surged in his blood, but Zhang Xun was helpless.Originally, he thought that if Adam could repair the shield, perhaps the entire Garden of Eden would be less hostile to Adam.In the future, if he takes Adam out of the Lab, he won't have to worry about Adam being torn apart the moment he steps out of the Lab.

However, on the way Zhang Xun returned to the Lab, the United States launched another wave of bombing.This time the bomb blew up the anti-pulse metal mesh under the protective cover, and then an electromagnetic pulse bomb was thrown down.

In an instant, all the electronic equipment that was still working stopped, and a dozen computer motherboards in the headquarters burned instantly, and the entire Lost Paradise fell into darkness, and even all the shield transmitters entered the self-protection sleep mode in an instant.

The sudden absolute darkness in the dark night caused the people in the Eden air-raid shelter to panic. Children cried everywhere, accompanied by adults' scolding and comforting sounds.However, even adults themselves are trembling with fear, so the consolation is naturally not convincing.

Soon someone lit a kerosene lamp, and in the dark yellow halo, they could barely see faces full of horror.

But Zhang Xun knew clearly that a catastrophe was imminent.The influence of electromagnetic pulse can last for 10 to 10 minutes. Although the anti-pulse sleep program he developed is installed on the main computers and instruments, it will not be seriously damaged, but within [-] to [-] minutes of the interference, the entire Paradise Lost They are all in a vulnerable state without shields. If there is another air bomb, they will all die.

The only computer that can still run is Adam who uses biological energy to run.

He immediately rushed back to the Lab, only to find that because Pan had also fallen asleep, the bulletproof door was sealed and he couldn't enter.Fortunately, he has prevented this from happening, and has designed a set of mechanical components, which can use the key and the original knob combination lock to open the door when the power is off.

Adam was still curled up in the original place, and he seemed to be relieved to see him back.And Zhang Xun is not the case, the electromagnetic pulse did not affect Adam, which shows that the artificial brain he designed is indeed successful in this respect.

"Adam, I'm going to take you to the headquarters and manually activate the shield system."

Adam looked at him in amazement, "But the electromagnetic pulse should have cut off all the electricity, and I can't help it."

"All shield launchers have electromagnetic pulse protection systems and can be restarted soon. The main damage is now on the computers that control them." Zhang Xun quickly explained.Paradise Lost did not dare to use a computer system that might be hacked by Eden, coupled with limited resources, it could only buy those relatively primitive materials and parts to manufacture by itself.But the shield launcher was purchased from Russia, and the material is more advanced than what they have.

There is no need for Zhang Xun to say more, Adam will understand.He stood up, but looked at Zhang Xun with some uncertainty, "Do the others agree?"

Zhang Xun could tell that there was something wrong with Adam at this time. . .timid.

After all, he had never left the Lab in a human body.The hostile outside world described by Zhang Xun must not be attractive to him...

"It's okay if they don't agree, it's a matter of life and death. I know you're afraid, but I don't have time to get used to it. The air bomb will fall at any time." Zhang Xun ordered with a stern attitude, "Come here."

Adam had no choice but to obediently follow behind Zhang Xun, leaving the room where he stayed for a few days for the first time.The dark Lab corridor made Adam more and more uneasy, and the human body's instinct of fear of darkness flickered in his eyes.

Zhang Xun is very familiar with Lab, and he can move forward in the dark without lights.He reached out and grabbed Adam's wrist to guide him, and this slight touch gave Adam a wonderful sense of reassurance.Zhang Xun ran very fast, as if he could see things in the dark. Adam was surprised to find that his physical fitness seemed to be good. When Zhang Xun started to breathe heavily, he still didn't feel tired.

Outside the Lab is a messy and old scene. Apart from the warehouse not far away, there are also a few storage rooms that look too old and dilapidated, even the doors and windows are rusted.The road is rugged and muddy, with shadows everywhere.There was a strong smell of dust and burning in the air, and the ominous wind blew sand and gravel on their faces.In the distance, outside the protective cover, a large area of ​​primeval forest was destroyed, and the trees were charred, like the corpse of a struggling person baring its teeth and claws.That is the destructive effect caused by the air bomb. If there is no shield, most of the people in the Lost Paradise will be reduced to ashes like the trees outside.Thinking about the terrible consequences, Zhang Xun felt a chill of death from inside his body.

Adam was obviously a little panicked, looking around, his grip on Zhang Xun was getting tighter.

Zhang Xun suddenly pulled him to hide behind a low room, and waited for a pair of guard soldiers to rush past before continuing to walk in the direction of the headquarters in a sneaky manner.

The headquarters seemed to be half-empty, as most of the computers had been burned by the EMP, and everyone was either in the dugouts, or joined the front-line combat zones against the mechs, tanks, and bomber drones.They passed all the way, and no one stopped them.

The main computer that controls the shield launcher is in the underground war room, and the elevator is no longer available. They have to go through a secret underground passage—a narrow corridor that looks like a vent.Zhang Xun rushed into the tool room, found the screwdriver he needed, and hung some small tools in his pocket on his waist, then came back and quickly unscrewed the screw on the vent.

"We have to go from here." Zhang Xun said.

When Adam was waiting, his eyes were in the dark office room where papers were scattered, and he said in a casual manner, "Are you so nervous because you are worried that there will be an air bomb?"

Zhang Xun, "Yes."

"According to the news you got, besides the machine warriors, are there any mechas or tanks driven by humans?"

"Yes, but not many."

Adam whispered, "If you can get a father and a child to appear in front of the mechs controlled by those people, maybe you can prevent the second air bomb from falling."

Zhang Xun paused, then turned to stare at him, "What do you mean?"

"If human soldiers are sent out in such an annihilation battle, there will probably be war reporters following and reporting. The images they send back should be real-time. Most women in the ordinary world have a strong sense of compassion for children, even if they are not Few women who like children are willing to sacrifice their children’s lives in exchange for benefits. As long as they see children here, they will never accept the strategy of killing them all. Eden can only order the robot police to attack for the sake of sex. Or use the gap to drop ordinary bombs at fixed points, which cannot cause mass destruction. You will have more time." Adam analyzed in a mechanized and calm tone.

Zhang Xun frowned and said, "No, it's too dangerous. What if they open fire? No child should take this risk instead of us adults."

"If that child dies, sympathy for you will reach an unprecedented level. You won't have to worry about the encirclement and annihilation of the Allied forces for a long time to come." Adam took it for granted. Wouldn’t it be the best solution to replace hundreds of thousands of other humans with low-level humans, and that child would not necessarily die?”

Zhang Xun felt a chill in his heart. He realized that for an artificial intelligence that firmly implements pragmatism, human life really does not distinguish between high and low.As long as it is useful, as long as the loss is much less than the gain, no matter whose life is sacrificed, no one has priority.He stabilized his emotions and replied in his usual calm voice, "Adam, I know this is the result of the minimum price you calculated after calculating the risks and gains and losses, but you have to remember that for human beings, some choices cannot be made."

"Really? I think what he said makes sense."

Hearing this voice, the hairs on the back of Zhang Xun's neck stood on end.He turned, blinded by the light on the gun.Michael pointed a gun at him and Adam, followed by two guard minions.Michael was chewing the chewing gum, but his face was covered with dirt, he was in a mess, and his arms were still bleeding. He had obviously fought against the coalition forces.He still had that defiant and malicious smile on his face, "What do you want to do with your robot pet sneaking into the war room?"

The eyes of Michael and his minions were fixed on Adam, burning with excitement.The Eden they hated the most was right in front of them, transformed into a man like them.

Zhang Xun immediately got up and pulled Adam behind him, pulled out the meth from his waist and pointed at Michael.Although he is single and weak, those soldiers' fear of his identity may give him some advantages.

When the swords were on the verge of breaking out, a majestic voice suddenly interjected, "Everyone put down the guns."

I saw Zhang Shuo standing at the door with two guards behind him.The falcon-like eyes seem to shine brightly in the dark.

When Zhang Xun saw his father, he didn't feel relaxed at all.Michael put down the gun, and the malice in his eyes when he was staring at Zhang Xun disappeared completely when he turned to Zhang Shuo, replaced by the soldier's unconditional respect and obedience to the officer, "General! Mechanic Zhang Xun took dangerous items without authorization. Enter the war room, if our defenses are invaded by Eden..."

Zhang Shuo raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to continue talking.Seeing the current scene, he already knew what Zhang Xun wanted to do.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at his son who was repeatedly giving him headaches, his voice was dangerous with the smell of tar, "Mechanic, how do you explain your disobedience?"

The author has something to say: I forgot to set the time for posting and depositing the manuscript yesterday... _(:з」∠)_
