The mechanic.

They plan to leave this icy and snowy abandoned Arctic research base around three o'clock tonight, when Pan and the other two super AIs start to launch a large-scale false data attack on Eden's European server.The attack will last about three hours, long enough for them to enter the territory of the Freedmen of Greenland.

After arriving in Greenland, they will get in touch with Lucille and other leaders of free folk and mobs, and Natalie will also get in touch with her family at the same time.They will choose two people, plus Adam, and try to inject the virus into the three locations most likely to break through the defense, close to Eden's core biological server, according to Adam's collected data analysis.

Zhang Xun listened to the howling wind outside the inspection base, lying on his side on the creaking cold bed, looking at the pendant in his hand with some ecstasy.His dry thumb slowly stroked the tangled vines on the pendant, thread by thread, as if that was the most important thing in the world.

A bang brought him back to reality from a trance.Adam accidentally kicked his foot against the hard foot of the bed as he walked towards him, and his handsome face twisted together, presumably from the pain.

"……How are you?"

"It hurts..." Adam held on to the railing of the bed for a while, and his appearance almost resembled that when they first met, Adam was not quite used to the human body.Adam, who was just learning to walk at the time, often bumped into furniture because he was not skilled enough to control his legs.

Adam limped over to sit next to Zhang Xun, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take off his boots and socks to check his toes, luckily the nails were not chopped off...

The corners of Zhang Xun's mouth lifted slightly, with a rare urge to smile.

When was the last time you wanted to laugh?

"Why have you been so clumsy lately?"

Adam looked at him with a pair of big blue eyes, seeming aggrieved, "I have stayed in Eden's network for too long, and I have to re-adapt to the human body."

For AI, one second may be equivalent to several years in the network field, and the time unit cannot be compared with human beings... Maybe it is understandable.

Adam looked at the pendant in Zhang Xun's hand, with some surprise in his eyes, "You still keep it?"

"...There is no reason to throw it away."

"It's fine if it's before injecting nanorobots..." Adam didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Xun knew what he meant.

Zhang Xun gradually lost his own characteristics as a human individual, and those emotional attachments are also passing away.That's why he started to become numb and lack mood swings, and at the same time began to show a series of symptoms of depression.

Zhang Xun's love for Adam should also be worn away in this process.

But obviously, Zhang Xun was still holding on to something and refused to let go.Even though he knew it was like sand and couldn't be grasped, he still had to try.

"You know, in this world, there are not many people I have loved." Zhang Xun said softly, raising his deep eyes, filled with a trace of sadness, entangled with Adam's gaze, "Now maybe only There is only one left. I think, with a little effort, I can still keep some."

To love an AI whose world view is completely different from his own is full of thorns and pains, but Zhang Xun still wants to choose to continue to love and continue to work hard to retain his own feelings.Because even pain is better than nothing.

Adam stared at him quietly, with something similar to sadness deep in his eyes.He was sad, but Zhang Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to comfort him, "It's good that you are here, after all this is over, you can use my DNA model stored in your database to restore me, Is it right?"

Adam hesitated for a moment, nodded, and quietly took Zhang Xun's hand holding the pendant, "I will cure you."

But at this moment, there was a sound outside the door of the expedition team.Everyone immediately became alert, and Anya and Diego picked up their weapons and aimed at the direction of the gate.

The door opened, and a tall, handsome man stood outside.Anya's eyes were piercing, and she pointed her gun at the opponent, "Who are you!"

"Anya, don't shoot." Zhang Xun looked at the man with a calm expression.

Anya glanced back at him, "Do you know him?"

The man standing at the door has clear green eyes and dark brown slightly curly hair. His eyes pass through the gap between everyone and he looks straight at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun nodded, "He is Pan, and this is the body I gave him."

Adam opened his eyes slightly, and turned to look at Pan.All his communications with Pan were in the electronic field, and he didn't know that Axun also gave another AI body.

Pan looked around and quickly scanned every human body, making sure that except for the known Zhang Xun, no one else was infected by nanobots.Then he strode in, ignoring everyone else, and headed straight for Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun almost thought that Pan wanted to give him a hug...

Of course this is impossible.Hugging is a purely expressive gesture with no actual function.

Adam watched Pan's movements closely, and when he realized that he was invading Zhang Xun's personal space, he frowned and reached out to stop him.

Pan stopped and turned his head to stare at Adam in an all-too-steady manner.

Adam stared at him too.

Blue eyes meet green eyes, something tense in the air.

Everyone was a little nervous.These two AIs are clearly on the same front now, why do they seem to be fighting now?

Zhang Xun's gaze wandered twice between the two AIs, breaking the silence, "Pan, is this your extension or your core module?"

Pan turned his head and looked at him, "It's my extended body. I know you're going to flee to Greenland tonight, so I'm here to escort you."

"But aren't you going to attack Eden tonight? You need all the resources."

"Ensuring that you and others arrive safely at your destination is crucial to successfully defeating Eden. I have done simulations and allocating one-fifteenth of the resources here will not affect our confrontation with Eden."

Pan paused, and continued, "In addition, I used the opportunity of lurking in the Eden Network to infiltrate various social networks, analyzed the population data on those websites, and located more than 700 million people with anti-Iranian The propensity to upload and fear uploads accounts for one-fifth of the current population of the earth. This is only the more radical population, and the consciousness of some relatively neutral population is easy to be influenced and deflected, so I did not choose them. I have one by one with These people who opposed Eden established an encrypted connection and organized a new anti-Eden anti-upload organization. They called themselves Bronze Men.

They don't know my identity, but I set up a local area network for them in a certain area, so that they can have unmonitored conversations and receive my instructions.This time the Bronze Men will social hack across the world at the same time as we attack Eden from the web.They'll sneak into all the important city management extension AI R&D centers trying to plant some basic viruses or sabotage the servers.Therefore, according to the simulation and prediction of Phoenix and me, this operation will completely disrupt the order of at least 21 key cities, traffic will be paralyzed, and power supply will also be cut off.Eden may use mechanical police or mechanical soldiers to maintain order, which can effectively weaken Eden's detection ability. "

"If there are casualties in the process of disrupting the city's order, or those who are seriously ill in the hospital and waiting for emergency treatment, how do you plan to deal with it?" Adam asked sharply.

"Collateral damage cannot be avoided, but all hospitals have backup generators that can last for more than two days, so they will not be affected. Any extended AI that is successfully implanted with a virus by the Bronze Man will be controlled by me, Phoenix and Morningstar .While Phoenix and I are mainly responsible for attacking Eden, Morningstar will use those compromised systems to monitor the situation in the city, and if anyone needs help, it will use the fastest way to reach the scene."

Adam nodded slightly, without further questioning.

Pan looked at Zhang Xun, took out a gun from his pocket, and handed it to him.

Zhang Xun recognized at a glance that it was James' gun.

"Did Jamie receive the modified nanorobot?" He pointed at the one-handed laser gun, as if he could still feel James' body temperature on it.

"Received, now he is recovering, and it will take some time. He wanted to come out to help you, but was stopped by me and Todd."

Anya also heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her younger brother's name.

Zhang Xun suddenly felt much more relaxed.If in the end they fail and are wiped out by Eden, at least James among them can survive and have a chance to find a place not controlled by Eden, and spend the rest of his life with Todd safely, don't Get involved in any game between AI and humans.

The time was getting closer and closer to three o'clock in the morning, and everyone was waiting nervously.No one spoke, and everyone just silently prepared their weapons and packed their bags.

Zhang Xun, who had been looking at James' gun, suddenly whispered to Adam and Pan, "I've been thinking about it for the past two days. All the uploaded consciousnesses have started to influence each other due to the lack of clear boundaries, but after all, most of them are not suffering from schizophrenia. The consciousness of humans with multiple personality disorder or multiple personality disorder has a strange unity that can accommodate contradictions. If we can use this unity to create a protective film, maybe the uploaded consciousness can be maintained in the collective consciousness for a period of time. Possibly even permanent independence."

Adam looked up at him with unpredictable eyes, "What does this unity mean?"

"I don't know yet... Maybe it's a certain complex that runs through a person's life experience, or a memory that has a great significance for the journey of a person's personality, maybe it's an unfulfilled long-cherished wish...Anyway, it's something that people don't know Things that are willing to let go." Zhang Xun slowly described his vision, "If we can quantify this unity, we can create a coat that wraps the uploaded consciousness like a protective shell... In this way Being uploaded, you can still maintain a certain self."

"Why are you thinking about this?" Adam frowned, turned to face Zhang Xun, "Do you want to give up? Do you want to be uploaded?"

Zhang Xun looked at him in a daze, and shook his head slightly, "I'm just thinking, if I can't recover, if there is such a day in the end, we should be ready."

At this moment, a green light flashed in Pan's eyes, and he said in a calm but solemn voice, "The attack has begun. We must move immediately."
