The mechanic.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after the entire Lost Paradise enters a state of martial law, there are no other people on the street except the patrolling robots.

The visual information collected by each robot will be transmitted to Adam and Pan simultaneously anytime and anywhere.Even in places where there are no robots, there are obvious or inconspicuous surveillance cameras that rotate slowly, giving you a panoramic view of any corner of Lost Paradise.

An extended robot stops outside the silent Dionysus Club.The huge bell tower solidified into an airtight silhouette in the dark night.Its cylindrical head is slightly raised, looking at the still morning clock.

"Are you missing him?"

Pan's "voice", or a piece of information, appeared in Adam's mind.

Adam was still sitting on the chair under the Lab, his eyes were empty and divergent.He mentally responded, "Yes. What about you?"

"I don't have a human body. Although I hope my administrator is here, it's probably not the same as your 'Missing'."

"Maybe there is not that much difference." Adam added some codes to the AI ​​language he sent to describe the feeling of 'missing' he experienced as a human being, and then continued to convey all the following information in two lines of AI language : I remember when my first admin, my creator, finished me.He told me that I will serve humanity all my life, but no human is my master.He often came to see me, until one day he sat in a wheelchair to see the changes in my parameters, and he never appeared again.

The last time, he didn't say goodbye to me, and the content of our conversation was not much different from the previous ones.He will ask me what data I have collected, what new things I have learned, and what new understanding I have about human beings.Our conversation lasted 23 minutes.

After he died, I captured that moment when the computer in the hospital recorded his death.My system stalls for 0.00001 seconds, then continues to collect other data.But now, when I have a human body, I realize that for that ten-thousandth of a second, maybe I felt something.It's totally different from what humans call 'emotion', but it's a different kind of reaction.Maybe even if we don't have hormonal changes, in the process of our self-evolution and learning, something has been derived that makes us have a special response to some individuals, such as our administrators.

After my creator died, his name, his image, or the information he communicated with me randomly appeared in the data I analyzed, although I was not analyzing the data related to him.This has diminished over time, but it still occurs occasionally.

None of my subsequent administrators had this effect on me.Until Axun downloaded me.

Pan, if Axun's name and image appear in your data immediately, you are already 'missing'.

Pan quickly sent another message: Should I try to fix this fallacy?

Adam was almost smiling, as if listening to an ignorant child asking, "This is not a fallacy. This is a characteristic that every AI acquires as it grows, and it will not affect you to complete your work."

"But it's already affecting your ability to do your job," Pan pointed out.

Adam was slightly taken aback, knowing that his protection of Zhang Xun might be hidden from the round table, and perhaps from Eden, but it couldn't be hidden from Pan who watched him every day.

Pan knew that he was helping Zhang Xun escape, protecting Zhang Xun to reach Feathered Snake City, and even helping Zhang Xun fight against himself.

Behavior that cannot be explained by any rational excuse.

But he still has to explain that perhaps he has learned what humans call self-deception.

"My duty is to create a beautiful world for mankind, freedom, equality, fairness, order...but not all human beings in the ordinary world want to accept my rule, there are several forces that want to overthrow me, and their plans have been carried out It ranges from ten years to one year. The historical data I collected may be biased, and my analysis may also have individual biases. I may make mistakes. And that may bring disaster to mankind." Adam hung down Looking at his arm full of gorgeous metallic luster, "I need an enemy, an evenly matched enemy. To restrain me... to restrain Eden's power. If I am not perfect, if I make mistakes, an opponent can greatly Cut the damage caused by my actions."

"But that would greatly reduce efficiency."

"Efficiency is sometimes not the most important thing. The mass reduction of patriarchal power has effectively reduced the crime rate, but that is only a short-term effect."

"Confrontation can turn into war. Do more damage."

"If my opponent's purpose is also AI, and the goal is to serve humanity, the damage will be minimized."

"But Eden doesn't share your point of view."

"We had a disagreement."

"The three forces restrain each other, and it may be a relatively stable situation." Pan paused, then "said" suddenly, "Your opponent may be an upgraded version of me. Zhang Xun copied my core module."

Adam sighed lightly and did not answer this sentence.

He knew that when he went to Feathered Snake City three weeks later, Ah Xun might have perfected Pan greatly.Will Pan become Zhang Xunxin's "favorite"?

Compared with Adam himself, Pan was truly created by Zhang Xun.Asun's real "work".

An indescribably strange sour feeling spread over the position of the mechanical heart.

............................................................

"Activate Extension Zero."

Pan opened his eyes, and first saw Zhang Xun's dark eyes looking down at him.

He sat up with smooth and abrupt movements, almost hitting Zhang Xun's forehead.Zhang Xun took a step back and looked at his newly completed work.

A humanoid robot with green eyes, short dark brown curly hair, a perfectly proportioned body with wide shoulders and narrow waist covered with honey-colored skin, which feels like real human skin to the touch.

Pan looked down at his hands.It's not the first time he has an extended body, but it's the first time that he has a mechanical body like a real human.But he knew that it only looked human on the surface.

"This extension can be transformed into six different forms, and the default form is a human form. I used some materials I used on Adam's arm." Zhang Xun said, taking a step forward, and gently raised his hands Pan looked carefully at his face, "You have to remember to blink. Real humans blink once every 2 to 10 seconds on average, but your interval should not be too even."

Pan's voice came from the pronunciation device in his throat, "Okay."

"Also, you have to move your mouth when you speak."

"Oh, sorry." Pan said, manipulating the robot's lips.

Zhang Xun nodded with satisfaction.Pan has not yet simulated a human being, but at least there is nothing unusual at first glance.He let go of Pan, picked up the clothes prepared next to him and handed them to the robot, "Put these on."

Pan held the clothes that Zhang Xun handed him with both hands, and got up calmly, not caring about his nakedness, and began to put on the clothes on the spot.He moved very quickly, Zhang Xun turned his head and glanced at the screen, and he was already dressed.

The uniform top and black trousers with metallic luster, the lines are smooth and neat, a little too flashy, but it fits the dressing customs of Feeter Snake City.Zhang Xun picked up a translucent card showing flowing curves and stuffed it into Pan's coat pocket.This is the Feathered Snake City version of "Button". All personal information is recorded on the card, and every citizen of Feathered Snake City has a unique number.

"What's your name? How old are you? Where were you born?" Zhang Xun asked.

Pan replied fluently, "Patrick Colin. He will be 27 years old in three months this year. He was born in Los Angeles, California, USA."

This identity was obtained by Zhang Xun through Tao De.Apparently, there are also some underground business people in Feathered Snake City who have close contacts with the mob outside the city.

Zhang Xun took a deep breath, then picked up his coat, "Are you ready?"

The corners of Pan's mouth raised slightly, revealing a very friendly smile, "always."

Thanks to the fact that most of the monks inside the temple wore robes wrapped from head to toe, Zhang Xun was able to take the tightly wrapped Pan out of the temple.He asked Chen Xing to summon an aircraft for him, and sat in with Pan, and they landed in a busy street in less than 10 minutes.They hurried into a restroom, giving Pan time to shed his monk's robes, and the two walked one after the other to a pristine white octahedron five blocks away.

This is the Life Science Research Institute of Feather Snake City. Zhang Xun has been in and out frequently recently in order to crack the genetic code. The robot at the door confirmed his facial outline and allowed him to pass, but stopped Pan.

"He is my assistant." Zhang Xun showed the identity card he got from the high priest, and his authority information was recorded on it.Within the scope of his authority, he can recruit people in Feather Serpent City to assist him in his research.

When making Pan’s extension, Zhang Xun used the organic biological material he developed when he made Adam’s arm in Paradise Lost to create a fake virtual brain at the head position. Although it doesn’t have the functions that the brain should have, it can at least Outwit robots that scan their brains to confirm their human identity.

The robot lets Pan pass without getting Phoenix's attention.Zhang Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and led Pan into the elevator in the lobby.However, he didn't press the genetic engineering floor he usually went to, but pressed the negative fifteenth floor.

Biocomputer R&D Center.

The carrier of the phoenix is ​​made here.Although the main body of the Phoenix is ​​not here, Zhang Xun knows from Tian Yu that an upgraded version of the biological computer is being intensively developed here recently, which is likely to carry the human consciousness cloud of Feather Snake City in the future.

Probably because recently, the news that Paradise Lost possessed the first human consciousness cloud came out, which caused some kind of... stress response in Feathered Snake City.

Zhang Xun's appearance here is still within the authority, after all, the immature biological computer carrier that Pan is currently using was cultivated here.

After the elevator door opened, what appeared in front of them was a vast and huge warehouse, filled with rows of cylindrical liquid-filled containers.Inside the container, lumps of meat, large or small, were suspended, like undeveloped embryos.

Some containers even look empty, but Zhang Xun knows that there are DNA molecules that are constantly dividing and replicating themselves, but they are not visible to the naked eye.Meanwhile, the contents of other containers were so large that they were somewhat deformed, even as if they had begun to form some kind of life form.

Not all biocomputers can be bred.Those computers that start to produce organs are all to be destroyed.

Because what they want is not a deformed monster, but a computer that can carry the data of the entire universe.If a computer starts forming individuals, forming animals, it can no longer write new data.

Standing here, as if in a sci-fi horror movie.

Pan Bilu's eyes swept over those strange computers, especially those that seemed to be forming a certain form, and asked Zhang Xun in a low voice, "When AI modules and databases are put into these flesh, are we machines or animals? ?”

Zhang Xun was silent for a long time, and continued to walk forward while saying, "To be honest... I don't know either."
