Chapter 16 Garbage Treatment Plant

Adam stared at the person who was examining him with a pair of blue eyes.Zhang Xun stood behind the man, looking at him with concern.

Adam knew that the person in front of him was the security consultant mentioned by the round table.He carefully observed the man's expression.Facial micro-expression recognition was easy for Adam, and he could see the person's dislike for him-a composite of artificial intelligence and human...and the fear that the other party tried to hide.It's not the first time he's seen the other person named Michael, but this person has an impulsive personality and almost no ability to hide his emotions. Obviously, he is not an important person in Paradise Lost, and his threat is relatively low.

So Adam curled his mouth and showed a friendly and innocent smile to Sistine, "Hello."

Sistine didn't smile, but stared at him coldly, "How long have you been in Paradise Lost?"

"Seventeen days, ten hours, 33 minutes."

Adam knew that he didn't have to go into such detail, he said this to cater to a considerable part of the stereotype of artificial intelligence in Paradise Lost.

Appropriately confirming the other party's stereotypes can slightly reduce the other party's fear and give them a sense of "controllable".But this kind of catering should not be too much, otherwise the hostility will be deepened.

Sistine laughed mockingly, "How about it? Seeing us male humans being forced to hide in this barren mountain like rats and bugs, isn't it a great sense of accomplishment?"

Adam said, "I don't hate male humans. Your pain doesn't give me any pleasure."

"That's really nice to hear?" Michael glared at him angrily, "Do you think men are so easily fooled by you?"

Adam said, "Before I had a human body, I couldn't generate human-like 'emotions'. After I had a human body, I didn't have any reason to hate male humans. On the contrary, I began to have a new understanding of male humans. Know."

"New cognition? What kind of cognition?" Sistine slightly changed his posture and looked at the humanoid computer in front of him.

"Individual differences." Adam said, his eyes turned slightly, and fell on Zhang Xun, "My mechanic taught me a lot of things that I thought were irrelevant before. In my cognition, all human beings Behavior trajectories are all analyzed from big data. To me, human beings are like a predictable group of animals with fixed behavior patterns. I only pay attention to things at the macro level, and promote them at the most appropriate time and place. The process of history. But now, human beings are no longer data in my eyes, but have a more personal and concrete image. I realize that I used to be narrow-minded.”

It is difficult for Zhang Xun to judge the authenticity of this statement with his own naked eyes.Later, I should confirm with Pan, who is constantly observing Adam's micro-expressions and checking Adam's heartbeat and body temperature data, whether the other party is lying.But Sistine was silent for a while, judging from the body language of him leaning back, he seemed to be a little bit convinced.

Indeed, when Adam said this, his eyes were focused, full of sincerity, and his tone was even quite emotional.The sense of alienation from the "machine" has faded away, and it suddenly looks more like a human being.

"Do you think I will believe your words and let my guard down?" Sistine said.

"I don't think you will." Adam smiled. "I roughly understand my image in your perception. It is wise to maintain a certain amount of hostility and vigilance towards me. I can understand it."

"Your artificial intelligence is too good at lying. I have already applied to my superiors for a psychological evaluation of Adam, and a specialized psychologist will evaluate whether he is a cunning liar with evil intentions. The round table has been approved, and he will come tomorrow." Sistine said, looking at Zhang Xun, "You also need to take the test to confirm whether you have been controlled by Adam."

Zhang Xun could no longer hide his anger, and his eyes showed a cold light similar to that of his father, "You have already applied for a detailed evaluation before meeting Adam. Is this inappropriate?"

Sistine sensed Zhang Xun's aggressiveness at last, so he stood up and faced him, spread his shoulders, and used his burly figure to intimidate Zhang Xun, "Not appropriate?"

"You haven't met Adam, and you haven't communicated with him, and you already think he needs a psychological evaluation. It means that you have biased against his and my abilities before meeting. As a security consultant, shouldn't you be neutral and reason?"

"Are you questioning my ability as a security consultant?" The threat and aggressiveness in Sistine's tone became more and more obvious.

Zhang Xun said politely and coldly, "I don't mean that. It's just that I'm a little confused about the captain's decision. If necessary, I can ask the round table to further confirm the significance of setting up a security advisor, whether it's just a means to replace me. If That's right, there's no need to be so troublesome."

Adam blinked his eyes wide, his eyes wandering between Zhang Xun and Sistine who were facing each other uncomfortably.

Sistine sneered, "You think you and your AI won't pass the test?"

"Captain, Pan will record every word we say. I didn't say anything just now that I think we can't pass the test. If you don't remember, I can let Pan replay it. It's just that the domestication period approved by the round table is one It’s only been half a month since I’ve had a psychological evaluation, obviously I’ve doubted my ability. And Adam has just recently helped Paradise Lost to resist Eden’s attack and protect the entire Paradise Lost. If a captive dies is more important than the lives of all the people in Paradise Lost, so I have nothing to say." Zhang Xun paused, straightened his body, and looked at the angry officer on the opposite side without flinching.

Sistine, who has always been used to saying one thing, and his subordinates have no doubts, obviously lacks experience in dealing with mechanics. Zhang Xun couldn't think of a reasonable argument to refute what Zhang Xun said.He said in a hot and hostile voice, "One month? Well, there are still [-] days left. If he fails the psychological assessment after [-] days, you can expect to be downgraded!"

At this time, Julio Fernandez whispered beside him, "To be precise, it is twelve days, thirteen hours, 15 minutes..."

Everyone in the room glared at Fernandez at the same time, only Adam smiled approvingly at Fernandez...

Sistine strode towards the door, but stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Hiding him in such a place is a waste. Zhang Xun, I heard that there is a shortage of people at the garbage disposal plant. You might as well take him over there to help, and save us from spending a lot of money to support an idler."

The garbage disposal plant is actually a nickname, not a place that actually removes garbage.When the hunters brought back the materials obtained from the ordinary world to Eden, except for some urgently needed materials for agriculture or life, and items specified by Labs or military factories, the remaining metals that may or may not be useful And plastic products will be placed in an open "material classification place", and a special person will be responsible for cleaning, sorting and recording.As more and more non-essential materials were brought back over the years, many things were accumulated and rusted before they could be used, and turned into scrap iron, which was left in the open space for many years and no one cared about them.Gradually, we renamed the material sorting office as a waste treatment plant.

There are only a few people working there, the workload is heavy and monotonous, and there is not even a shelter for shelter above their heads.Later, it almost became a labor camp for the army to punish soldiers.

Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment, slowed down his tone, and asked, "Since when?"

"Right now."

Zhang Xun considered the possibility of persuading Sistine to withdraw his order, and then gave up this idea.Perhaps this is also a good thing. The number of people working in the garbage disposal plant is limited, and most of the rest are garbage that has been neglected for many years. Perhaps it is more controllable for Adam.He then said, "How can I register Adam's identity? As an ordinary recycler?"

"You decide these details yourself. But be careful, don't let me hear that he has caused any trouble, otherwise I will immediately let other mechanics and psychologists evaluate his danger." Sistine thought for a few minutes , and said, "And I will also send people to spot check, so you and your artificial intelligence better not play any tricks."

Zhang Xun lowered his eyes obediently, "I see."

He has irritated the other party, and now he can't add fuel to the fire.Moderate irritation can buy yourself time, but excessive irritation will only bring endless trouble.

After Zhang Xun sent Sistine and Michael away, Adam suddenly raised his head and said, "Pan, where is the garbage disposal plant?"

Pan was silent.

"I know you can hear me, and I know that Xun won't let you answer my questions other than those related to my survival needs. But I'm about to go to work in a garbage disposal plant, and providing limited information can help me adapt to the environment there as soon as possible and reduce the number of things I do. The potential for inappropriate behavior. I think it's tied to my survival needs."

After a while, the voices of Pan Ping and Lang Ran sounded, "Waste disposal plant is another name for material sorting department..." Adam listened carefully to Pan's concise introduction, occasionally nodding slightly.Then he suddenly asked, "Pan, have you ever left this Lab?"

Pan paused for a moment, then said, "I don't think this is a relevant question."

"I'm very happy that I can see what it looks like outside the Lab." Regardless of Pan's answer, Adam continued to say to himself, "The ordinary world is very different from the Paradise Lost that I saw after leaving the Lab."

"..."

“I even saw someone driving a vehicle. In the normal world, except for a few professionals, not many people know how to drive a vehicle anymore. Everything is automated, and a unified system operates to manage traffic flow and design driving routes.”

Pan said at this time, "It sounds like a very complicated multi-category classification problem."

"The calculation process is indeed very complicated. It requires at least fifty quantum computers to control a city and be able to successfully interact with the systems of other cities. But it is not a difficult task for us. I believe that after learning and training, You can also complete a system design like this." Adam narrated in his brisk voice, and even smiled at the camera somewhere in the sky.

Pan fell silent again.

Two hours later, Zhang Xun came back, holding the collar that Adam had to put on every time he left this room.He looked at Adam, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just looked preoccupied.

"Xun, are you satisfied with my performance today?" Adam asked.

Zhang Xun glanced at him, "The previous mechanical dance is unnecessary."

"I thought that would lighten the mood. Isn't there some kind of sarcastic humor in an artificial intelligence dancing a mechanical dance?" Adam seemed a little lost. "Don't they like mechanical dancing? Next time I can try other kinds of dances, what do you think?" How about ballet?"

"Don't..." Zhang Xun muttered, adjusting the settings of the collar in his hand.

"Xun, is it a good decision to provoke him?" Adam asked again, "Maybe I can pass that test."

"What I'm worried about is not just the test, but...forget it, you don't need to know this." What Zhang Xun worried about was that this Sistine was ordered by someone to deliberately find fault and replace him.If the test is carried out now, no one knows whether the test results will be manipulated.But now that he knew the candidate for the security consultant and had time, he could use his "bugs" to investigate the person's background.He needed a plan to counter and control the forces behind the scenes who were trying to manipulate Adam.

He took a deep breath and decided to change the subject, "Do you remember the rules of going out?"

"Must wear a collar, and the distance between you and you must be within ten meters of the line of sight, do not take the initiative to talk to others, you can only answer with your permission, and you cannot make threats to any human beings or may be considered threatening You must not intentionally destroy the property of Paradise Lost, and you must execute your orders." Adam recited proficiently.

"Very well. After lunch, I'll take you to a new place."
