The mechanic.

Zhang Xun lowered his head and pretended to concentrate on looking at the photon gun design drawings sent to him by several mechanics, but in fact he just glued his eyes to the paper, not knowing what he was looking at.

Adam's gaze on his back was like a thorn in his back.

After the weird conversation in the morning, Adam has been following him like a dog, with gauze wrapped around his head.Today is Saturday, and there are only a few sporadic workaholic mechanics and their poor assistant researchers who stay in the laboratory for a few weekends in the lab. Huo asked in astonishment.

Zhang Xun's unified official answer to this is: There was a little accident at the garbage disposal plant.

"A Xun, do you have a boyfriend?" Adam suddenly asked behind him.

Zhang Xun replied angrily, "I watch over you all day long, do you think I have a boyfriend?"

"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" Adam continued. "I know you have a father, a good friend, and many subordinates. But I never heard you talk about your love life."

How did this artificial intelligence become an emotional expert after a concussion?Zhang Xun was a little annoyed, and turned his head to stare at Adam who was hugging and stroking the alloy, "This is my private matter. Don't ask me."

"Emotional life is a very important part of a human being's life. Before gender separation, in order to keep replicating and continuing their own DNA, human body hormones will produce a series of complex chemical reactions, forming love. Some people say that this chemical reaction It is just a by-product of sexual behavior, and some people say that love plays a very important functional role in the replication and continuation of DNA. But no matter what kind of statement is said, it is agreed that for most human beings, love is important for a person. Both awareness of the world and character formation are significant."

"I don't need you to teach me how to be a human being." Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes, a little displeased.

Adam looked at him with concern, "I just want to clarify that I have never heard or perceived your emotional life in your words so far. In fact, judging from the time you spend in the Lab, I don't think you've had a love life for a long time."

"..."

Adam looked Zhang Xun up and down, his expression was very similar to that of a mechanic looking at a broken robot, "Your appearance is good, the only shortcoming is the lack of well-developed muscles, which may not meet the aesthetics here. Your IQ should be more High, but because love has been separated from reproduction, this item may not be very helpful for you to find a partner. Moreover, you are an introverted character with a certain lack of fatherly love, and you were bullied when you were a teenager, which leads you to be suspicious of other Humans lack trust. Maybe it's..."

"Enough!" Zhang Xun dropped the document in his hand and stood up abruptly, glaring at him irritably, "I told you this is not your business. Have you forgotten your identity again?"

Adam immediately said sorry and fell silent.

Zhang Xun squeezed his eyebrows as if he had a headache, and said after a while, "Thank you for protecting me yesterday."

Adam blinked twice, "But I failed."

"For human beings, sometimes the result is not important." Zhang Xun raised his eyes to look at him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but his mind was heavy on that smile, and he looked a little tired, "You know that you have yourself The risk of being seriously injured also protects me, overcoming your survival instinct, which is very precious to human beings." He paused, and then added, "However, it may also be because you know that if I am seriously injured, they will Maybe I will give you a new mechanic, not a mechanic who is easy to 'control' like me, so after weighing the pros and cons, you decide to make some sacrifices to protect me."

Adam was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Zhang Xun's last words.

"Or." Zhang Xun walked towards Adam, put his hands on the armrests on both sides of the armchair Adam was sitting on, and looked at Adam with a condescending attitude.At this time, Zhang Xun had a sharp speculation in his eyes, "You deliberately urged me to take you to the fourth district, deliberately go to the dangerous area, because you want me to worry. You want me to see you seriously injured appearance, which in turn allows you to have the ability to defend yourself."

Adam looked at him quietly, without anger, panic, or shame, "But I don't need to go around such a long circle to convince you. I can practice secretly by myself."

"You know that if you want to gain my trust, you can't lie to me. So all decisions must be voluntary." Zhang Xun's tone is still calm, almost as stable as Adam, so stable that it lacks human breath.

For a while, both of them were silent.The air between them was pulled tightly, as if it was about to break at any moment.

Zhang Xun suddenly smiled slightly, and the smile almost reached his eyes, "But it's okay. Control and anti-control, this is the essence of human relationships. You know human beings very well, Adam."

Adam finally said, "It was my intention to encourage you to go to the fourth district. On the one hand, it was out of curiosity, and on the other hand, I really hoped to cause some disturbance, so that you could reconsider the matter of giving me self-defense capabilities. But when I met After those five hostile humans, I found that I couldn't think like I used to. Everything I did was out of my control. I didn't control anything except the last bit of self-preservation. .”

His tone remained calm, and his expression didn't even change.But his eyes were slightly sad.

Zhang Xun straightened his body and looked at him with lowered eyes.He thought for a moment before saying, "I can allow you to learn martial arts, but the premise is that I must have more means to restrict you."

Adam was a little surprised.

Why did Zhang Xun agree after debunking him?

"Although you are trying to manipulate me, there is some truth to your argument. I am not a fighter, and I can't even protect myself in special situations, let alone protect you." Zhang Xun said, taking it from his coat pocket. Produce a rhombus-shaped metal device similar to a chip, with several vertical and horizontal lines on it, and a hole in the middle, connected to a very thin nanometer 'silk wire' at the back, "I will implant this tracker on your forehead , no matter where you are, I can know and monitor your brain wave activity, and even read your data when you have strong emotions. At the same time, I can see everything you can see through this camera hole Things. When necessary, I can activate the standby function through this wire probe. A weak electric current will be sent out here, causing a short-term overload to your mechanical brain, causing you to enter a state of paralysis for up to five seconds. This overload It will not cause harm to your central cognitive module and your long-term short-term memory, nor will it affect your human brain lobe, but it may not feel very good. Any action that tries to remove this device will It triggers the paralysis effect and puts you in a completely standby state, and can only be awakened after I open your skull and manually unlock it."

Adam blinked a few more times, as if processing what he said, "You know where I am? How do you locate me?"

"The distance signals within the range of Lost Paradise can be covered. When you leave my control range, the standby program will be automatically triggered, and I will receive a warning." Zhang Xun paused, and continued, "You don't have to do anything else. Just ask, you just have to decide, do you choose to maintain the status quo, or do you choose to have self-defense or even attack skills, but be implanted with this device?"

Adam thought for a while and replied, "I choose the latter."

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

On Monday morning, Diego, who had just finished a morning exercise of [-] push-ups, was lifting his vest and wiping his sweat. When he turned his head, he saw Zhang Xun and Adam walking slowly from the direction of the gate of the garbage disposal plant.

He widened his eyes.

"You two are...fighting?" He looked back and forth between the two with bruises on their foreheads, "No, you two can't fight so seriously at your level. And what is that thing on the forehead of the robot? accessories?"

Adam reached out and touched the diamond-shaped device implanted on his forehead.

Zhang Xun held up a bottle of Russian Tsarskaya whiskey recently brought back by the hunter group, "I brought you a gift."

When Diego saw the bottle of wine, he couldn't see anything else, his eyes seemed to glow green, "HolyFxxking...where did you get it?!"

"I have my source." Zhang Xun smiled slightly, "But it's not for free, I ask you for something."

Diego immediately restrained his salivating expression, and looked at him suspiciously, "Please? What can I, a garbage dump manager, do for you?"

"I checked your information. You used to be the head of the Sixth Hunting Regiment. Later, the whole group lost contact during a hunting operation. About two years later, you suddenly appeared in Paradise Lost. After a series of evaluations, although you It is impossible to enter the hunting group again, but the Guards still reserved a position for you in the army. It is a pity that you have been drinking alcohol since then, and you have been in a bad mood. In the end, you were sent here by the military as an administrator because of drinking and making trouble. When you were the head of the regiment, you once won the championship of the fighting competition held every three years, and you are proficient in boxing, free fighting, muay thai, and taekwondo, and are known as humanoid weapons."

The more Zhang Xun talked, the darker Diego's face became, "...so what? You want me to beat someone up for you?"

Zhang Xun shook his head, "No, I want you to be Adam's partner."

"Huh?" Diego looked at Adam, who was smiling distortedly because of his swollen cheeks, in astonishment, "You really agreed? Damn, this kid really has a way of persuading people."

Adam laughed silently.

When Diego reached out to take the vodka, Zhang Xun suddenly withdrew his hand slightly, "However, please don't tell the fourth person besides us about this. I can get it for you every month in the future. Good wine. Until Adam finishes his training."

"All right, all right! You can say whatever you want!"

So Adam's training was carried out quietly every day in the garbage disposal plant.While the huge machinery was making a roaring sound and was sorting non-stop, Zhang Xun was sitting in the awning, blowing on the old electric fan, or reading some proposals submitted by mechanics and applications and design drawings that needed approval. Or draw some design drawings of your own ideas.James said that the recent hunting has become more and more dangerous, probably because the seance plan has caused more hostility and fear towards them in the ordinary world. The hunting group that went out last month was met by mechanical policemen before they even left the range of Rocky Mountain. The siege led to the decision of the Round Table to suspend all hunting.But this is not a long-term solution. Zhang Xun considers improving the body armor worn by the members of the hunting group, and installing a disruptive device inside to confuse the mechanical police's identification of gender characteristics, perhaps reducing their chances of being detected.

At this point, Adam gave him a lot of help. After all, the identification system of those mechanical policemen was designed by Eden.

I don't know what it's like to help others deal with themselves...

He raised his head and saw Diego taking off his shirt under the sun, revealing his strong bronze skin, sweating profusely but facing his opponent excitedly.Adam, on the other hand, was soaked in sweat, with blond hair sticking to his cheeks.But he squinted his blue eyes, lowered his body, and moved slowly and decently, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Zhang Xun still remembers that on the first day of training, Diego asked Adam to hit a sandbag, but the sandbag flew back and knocked Adam into a mess with a nosebleed... Now, he can predict and even avoid Diego He punched, and occasionally countered with a punch or two.

Adam's physical condition is very good. The owner of the original body has received enough strength and endurance training, so it will not be too difficult to implement the knowledge in his head now.

But now Zhang Xun has new worries.

The one-month deadline is approaching, and he must prepare with Adam for a comprehensive psychological evaluation.
