The mechanic.

In the hinterland of Paradise Lost is a dark green lake called Lost Lake.A nearby giant water pump continuously pumps out the lake water and transports it to the drinking water treatment center. The distilling machine roaring day and night keeps filtering and processing the overly acidic water here, and then transports the water to the surrounding urban areas through complex pipelines.

About one kilometer away from the Lost Lake, there is a circular building.Like other buildings in Paradise Lost, it is made of wood and steel plates, surrounded by complicated pipelines and fortifications.The double-opened front doors were cast with heavy bulletproof alloys, and dozens of large and small gears drove their opening and closing.Above the gate hangs the flag of Paradise Lost, a crimson background with a white Da Vinci Vitruvian Man printed on it, but bleeding where the ribs are.

This circular building is the seat of the Round Table Council.

There are a total of [-] council members in the council, and there are ten chief councilors on the chair, who come from ten Lost Paradise districts.Each Chief Councilor is the highest governor in their respective district.Any decision must be supported by two-thirds of the chief councilors and most of the councilors before it can be implemented.Most of these councilors come from certain elite families, and almost all of them have served in the garrison and have been officially commended by the round table at least once.

Zhang Xun didn't come in very often, because he was not a soldier, and he was obsessed with technology, so he didn't participate in the politics and decision-making of Paradise Lost.But after all, he was born in the elite class, and his father was a commander after all, so he also met several members of the round table council.He didn't like the atmosphere of the round table, those depressive greetings full of invisible threats and the seemingly peaceful but deep smile made his hair stand on end.But now, he took Adam to stand in front of the gate and wait.Several guards guarded the door with guns in hand, staring at Adam behind him with curious eyes.

This morning, Zhang Xun put a metal ring on Adam's neck.Adam raised his head slightly to facilitate his movements, and asked in a serious tone, "What is this?"

Zhang Xun paused for a while, with an inexplicable sense of guilt, "This is an electric shock collar, which is used to control threatening people or animals. The remote control is installed in my watch, and there are five gears in total. The amount of electricity that stings enough to cause temporary paralysis."

Adam didn't show any sad or disappointed expression, but nodded understandingly, like an obedient golden retriever.

In fact, Zhang Xun didn't intend to use such a thing at all. He didn't think that Adam under the current situation would make an out-of-control move, because Adam knew that it was meaningless and would only accelerate his demise.Wearing this on Adam is to show those congressmen that Adam is under his control and will not pose any threat.

The door swung open with the rattle of gears, calling him on behalf of the Chiefs.Zhang Xun looked back at Adam and said to him, "Remember what I told you." Then he stepped in.

There are ten chief councilors sitting in the half-circle seat in front that is higher than the seat opposite.Among the ten people, the oldest is 78 years old, and the youngest is only two years older than Zhang Xun. Everyone is dressed in a suit and tie, and is formally dressed.Pairs of eyes of different colors are slightly drooping, without emotion, colder than a machine

Most of the seats in the semicircular circle were empty, and only a few military and Lab observers sat here and there.Zhang Xun noticed that his father was not present, presumably to avoid suspicion.

Instead, James sat on the side seat next to the MP's seat, looking at him with concern.Then he looked curiously at Adam beside him.

Probably his father sent him to listen in on his behalf.

Not only James, but everyone was staring at Adam, showing somewhat unbelievable expressions.In the body of such a young man, there is actually the culprit who almost destroyed the males on the entire planet.

The chief of the fifth district sitting in the middle began to read the document in front of him without emotion, which was a protest letter handed in from the first unit of the guard army.

"... Obtaining local information is of great significance for us to understand Eden's further action plan against us. We have reason to believe that this bombing is just a prelude. And if we can get the latest mecha from the coalition, it can be developed for us. More advanced weapons provide a great boost. But obviously, the North American server realized the significance of the captives to us, and deliberately killed the captives, which shows that the R&D department failed to domesticate Adam. Continuing to keep the North American server may make the Eden Invasion lose opportunity for Paradise's defense systems, and poses a major threat to the survival of Paradise Lost..."

Several guards around were holding guns, all of which pointed at Adam without exception.It seemed to have agreed to the demands of those protesting soldiers.

Zhang Xun listened patiently, his back was straight, his eyes were determined, and he looked a bit like his father.His palms were actually sweating, and his heart was beating slightly faster than usual.After the fifth chief finished reading, he raised his lazy eyes and looked at Zhang Xun, "We have learned about the situation from various sources. It is said that you brought Adam into the war room privately at the beginning. As Adam's mechanic, you are right. He was solely responsible. How do you explain Adam's actions?"

Zhang Xun said loudly, "The situation was critical at that time, and all the computers could not be repaired in a short period of time with traditional methods. Adam's training had already achieved preliminary results, and it was the best choice at that time. General Zhang Shuo approved it for this reason. My actions. And Adam's performance is obvious to all. Without him this time, Paradise Lost may no longer exist. Isn't this enough to prove Adam's plasticity and usability?"

"Then how should we explain the prisoner?" Another three-district councilman in his 50s asked, staring at Adam, with a bit of disgust and provocation in his tone, "Did the prisoner know that he and Iraq The two launchers were damaged during the first bombing, who knows if it was his fault?"

"Our barrier launch system is relatively old, and it is not surprising that it malfunctioned under the power of air bombs." Zhang Xun retorted in a restrained and submissive tone, "As for the killing of prisoners, it is inevitable in war Accidental injury. The technology of downloading a super artificial intelligence like Eden into the human body is the first time it has been implemented. It is understandable that Adam’s calculations are affected by the basic human brain and have a certain deviation. I think it is really unnecessary because of this negate Adam's value to Eden."

"Deviation? Will there be deviation in Eden? If Adam starts to have deviation because he became a human, how can we use him to fight against Eden? The seance plan took decades and cost countless manpower and material resources. Deviations appear." The sixth chief, also the youngest chief, has a certain mechanic background.At this moment, he was staring at Zhang Xun with dark brown eyes, and his sharp eyes seemed to be somewhat targeted, "Is this deviation because you made a mistake in the process of séance? If so, you as Adam The mechanic's capabilities need to be reassessed, and maybe we should replace you."

His words had a certain influence on the other chiefs, and two chiefs even nodded along.

Zhang Xun was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Adam, who had been standing quietly behind Zhang Xun at this moment, suddenly said, "I think my mechanic's seance technique is perfect, and there are no mistakes."

All eyes were on Adam, and the atmosphere changed subtly.

The sixth chief stared at Adam, his tone became more and more dangerous, "You mean, it wasn't an accident that you killed the prisoner?"

Adam said, "Indeed, it's not an accident."

Zhang Xun's heart twitched, and he turned to look at Adam in astonishment.

What is he doing?Didn't you teach him everything?

Adam continued, "I'm worried that the captives will be alive and abused and killed by some women-hating soldiers. Using captives to negotiate with the coalition will not lead to anything, because Eden doesn't care whether individual individuals live or not. It will only use This opportunity intensifies the conflict between the ordinary world and the lost paradise, which is harmful rather than beneficial. As for the technology you want, most of the mecha update and maintenance systems of the coalition forces are designed by Eden. In other words, the technology you want is all It's in my database. So I don't think killing captives has any negative effect on Paradise Lost."

After these words were finished, the conference hall was silent for a while.After a long while, the third chief said gloomily, "So you regard all our Paradise Lost soldiers as inferior rapists? As long as women appear, they will lose their minds and become inhuman beasts?"

Zhang Xun hurriedly said, "That's not what he meant." But at the same time, Adam also replied, "Can you guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to abuse female prisoners, and there has never been any incident of torture and killing of prisoners before?"

Anger spewed from the eyes of several chiefs, and the third chief shouted, "You really still have your heart towards the enemy!"

"Maybe Zhang Mechanic's approach is too gentle." The first chief said in a calm voice, "but Eden should understand that he is a slave and is our research object. The only thing he can do is to carry out orders. No Eden following orders is too dangerous."

The third chief said coldly, "Maybe we should neutralize him."

"I think neutralizing Eden in this way is equivalent to giving up the efforts of so many researchers over the past few decades. Everyone also suffered some casualties in order to steal the North American server. Maybe the mechanics can be replaced and soldiers can be used to guard and manage Eden." Chief Six said.

Putting the military in charge...is like handing Adam over to a pack of wolves with hate and violence in their eyes, who knows what they'll do to Adam?

Zhang Xun quickly and boldly interjected loudly, "Adam's killing of the captives just shows that his domestication has achieved remarkable results."

The sixth chief laughed and said, "Didn't you just say that it might be a mistake? Your artificial intelligence deliberately made you unable to step down. It is a taboo for a mechanic to have no prestige in front of the artificial intelligence that he is in charge of. Such a basic requirement requires you to If you can’t even do it, how can you talk about successful domestication?”

Zhang Xun took a step forward, and glanced at the faces of each chief with different expressions in turn, "Adam killed the captive, which just shows that he already has compassion. Eden never considers the interests of individual individuals, all his strategies They were all formulated from a more macro perspective after big data analysis. But now, he knew that his behavior might draw the anger of the guards, but he did it anyway, because he didn't want to see a female prisoner being tortured lethal."

"We have rules and regulations to protect captives!" said the second chief angrily. "The women of the ordinary world demonize us as primitive people, as monsters. Don't you think the same about your own countrymen? I think you might as well put on women's clothes Submit to Eden and forget it!"

"Whether Adam's concern is right is another matter. According to Eden's big data, when men dominated the world, the crime rate of men was indeed overwhelmingly higher than that of women. This is a complicated matter." social factors. But those data are also the only channel for Eden to truly know men. Now he has just been sent to the gods and has been locked up in the Lab. His cognition of men is still 200 years ago. There will be such This prejudice is not surprising. On the other hand, now that he is a man and has human emotions, I think this is evidence that we can domesticate Adam. He will sympathize with women and the same with ours. Empathize with the situation. Letting him volunteer to help us is much more efficient than forcing him to torture him."

Zhang Xun's statement was loud and clear, without any haste.At this moment, he looks so similar to his commander's father, there is a certain convincing determination in his brows, which makes people want to believe his words unconsciously.However, Zhang Xun didn't have any bottoms in his heart. Not all of the ten chiefs agreed with the plan for descending. Be cautious, especially the sixth chief has a certain hostility towards him, while the second and third are very disgusted or even opposed, and the fifth and seventh chiefs are on the sidelines.Even those who agree with the séance plan may not necessarily agree with his ideas.

"How do you know that he really sympathizes with that woman and is not lying to you?" Tenth chief asked, but his tone was milder, "His knowledge and intelligence far exceed all of us combined, and his way of thinking is also It is completely different from humans, how do you understand his thoughts?"

"I can, because I turned him from an emotionless machine into a human." Zhang Xun said, even slightly raised the corners of his mouth, looking confident and firm.

At this time, the fifth chief who had been silent since the beginning of the recitation, but was very prestigious and the oldest, suddenly signaled the guards to take Adam to a lounge to watch over, and then said to Zhang Xun, "Zhang Xun, you as a mechanic We have no doubts about your ability. You are also the only one who has broken through the technical bottleneck of the séance project, the first genius in the world to turn a machine into a human. You and Adam also contributed a lot to the bombing a few days ago. However, you also Knowing how dangerous and deceitful artificial intelligence can be, even the creators of Eden were completely deceived by its innocuous appearance. When you create Adam, you also develop a certain emotional dependence on your creation, we need Know what plan you have. How to tame Adam step by step, to what extent, and what kind of measurement standards can help us intuitively understand his degree of tame."

Obviously, the Fifth Chief was speaking for him, giving him a chance to convince everyone.As soon as he opened his mouth, the other hostile chiefs had to suppress their hostility.This is a big turnaround.

Zhang Xun cleared his throat, handed over the ten documents in his hand to the guards, and distributed them to each chief, "That's exactly what I mean."
