The mechanic.

Modifying human genes, modifying human brain, more and more places can be modified, and every cell in the body can be replaced.

So in the end, what can determine whether you are a human being, what can determine whether you are yourself?Are genetically modified children still their parents' children?Is the person who uploaded his consciousness to the cloud still a person?

All boundaries and definitions are being blurred, destroyed, and overturned.

In the ordinary world, a more complicated and complicated ethical review system often prevents some too radical technologies from being widely used.But in these refugee countries with less perfect rules and systems, especially emerging refugee countries, as long as they have the means to realize a certain technology, there is almost no power to stop them.If the human brain is upgraded and connected to each other to establish a shared consciousness, this technology will be developed later, when the cloud consciousness becomes more and more extensive, it will be a very powerful and terrifying weapon.It's even possible to surpass Eden's weapon.

Zhang Xun thought in a daze, maybe this is the end of all human beings.

Not some great plague, not some nuclear war, but the disappearance of individuals.All individuals are integrated into one, sublimated into pure absolute consciousness, and there is no distinction between self and others.

I don't know whether to yearn for it or feel afraid.

The sixth chief's upright and handsome face was covered with a thick haze.With a background as a mechanic, he fully understands the significance and threat of Feathered Snake City's plan.

Zhang Shuo said loudly, "The Feather Snake City is obviously very hostile to us. Judging from the trophies brought back by this hunting group, their technological development may already be higher than ours. An Eden has pushed us here In this situation, if Eden uses Feather Serpent City as a gun against us, Paradise Lost will be further isolated."

The sixth chief suddenly looked in the direction of Zhang Xun and Adam, casually touched the ring on his right hand, and asked softly, "Machine Zhang, you participated in this hunt, and you are the best in our Paradise Lost!" Mechanic, how do you think we should deal with Feather Serpent City's ascension plan?"

Zhang Xun knew that he had to be cautious in his answer.The sixth chief has always had inexplicable hostility towards him, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a trap.He pondered for a moment, then replied, "Feather Snake City accepted senior engineers who defected from the ordinary world, and got a lot of Eden's most advanced technology. But in my opinion, they didn't get the most core technology. Eden didn't Believe in humans, all the designs given to them have loopholes that even senior engineers can't detect. This time they stumbled on this, and when they go back, they will definitely review all their source codes in detail and try to fix the loopholes. This move will greatly delay Slow down their research and development speed. But at the same time, their acceptance of artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology is higher than ours, and their weapons will naturally be more advanced. This may cause some problems.”

The sixth chief looked at Adam again, "What do you think?"

Adam was succinct, "I agree with my mechanic."

The sixth chief frowned slightly, "That's it? You are familiar with the technology they stole. You used the loopholes you left in advance to control their machinery, but you also exposed those loopholes. Do you think they have the ability to fix the problem? "

Adam smiled politely, "My data is not sufficient. According to the existing data, they can fix about 70.00% of all the loopholes I left."

Zhang Xun silently glanced at Adam, how many loopholes did this guy intentionally leave in the first place?Do you really think of humans as fools?

However, given that those loopholes have not been discovered until now, humans may indeed be fools for super AIs like Eden and Adam...

The sixth chief's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making an annoying tiny sound.He pondered, and said, "We have indeed been standing still for too long. A person who fears and rejects technology is just a cocoon, sacrificing precious human lives in vain. I think we should start researching smart weapons and remote control systems."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.Zhang Xun couldn't believe his ears.

What?Did the roundtable actually agree to start developing an AI weapon system? !

Is it because of Adam's success or fear of Feather Serpent City?

"Chief, does this mean the round table?" A general asked tentatively.

The sixth chief's introverted but cold eyes shot at the general who dared to question, "What? Do you think it's just me?"

"No, I just feel that this is somewhat different from the meaning of the previous round table."

"Times are changing, and they are changing rapidly. We always abide by the same rules, and sooner or later we will trap ourselves to death." The sixth chief Miller's eyes lingered on Adam, and it was difficult to read the emotion on his face , "Species that do not actively adapt to the environment will be eliminated. If we don't do it, others will."

"In addition, I think we should take the initiative to get in touch with other refugee countries. If Feathered Snake City starts to establish relations with other refugee countries before us, we will really be isolated." Zhang Shuo added, but judging by his expression, it seems that There is also some hesitation about the order of the sixth chief.

"What the commander said is true. I will leave it to you to arrange this aspect. On the other hand, Zhang Mechanic, I heard that the AI ​​housekeeper Pan you designed is very successful, and now you have Adam as your deputy. I hope you can take charge of the research and development. Paradise Lost’s first AI monitoring and defense system.” The sixth chief’s scrutiny gaze fell on Zhang Xun again, and there was a trace of provocation deep in his seemingly calm eyes, “In the initial version, I only need one that can be controlled independently. Drone A patrols within [-] kilometers of Lost Paradise, collects samples, and self-learns and evolves AI. How long do you think it will take you to train it?"

He didn't even ask Zhang Xun if he would like to take on this task.

The relationship between the ten chiefs of the round table is complicated. The sixth chief is the youngest and has just taken this seat not long ago.But judging from the information collected by Zhang Xun, he had already begun to get impatient with certain senior chiefs who were too old-fashioned.Therefore, Zhang Xun speculates that the start of research and development of AI weapons has not been unanimously agreed by the round table.

Zhang Xun hesitated, and asked, "But the law of Paradise Lost prohibits the development of artificial intelligence without the formal approval of the round table. Do you have any official documents?"

It's not that he doesn't want to make new AI.However, he must first make sure that this is not a trap...

The sixth chief's expression didn't seem to change much, but everyone could feel the sudden drop in air pressure around him...

Miller stood up alternately, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Zhang Xun inexplicably, "Do you want official documents? Yes. Come to my house at eight o'clock tomorrow night to get them."

Zhang Xun was even more surprised. After a moment of stunned, Miller had already left the conference room.

What's the meaning?To his house?

Aside from having attended the dinner party at the Fifth Chief's house with his father before, has he not been invited by any chief to pick up things at the other party's house?

And he obviously doesn't like his sixth chief...

Zhang Xun had a bad feeling of creepiness.

Shouldn't it be killed...

On the way back to the Lab, with the bumping and shaking of the jeep, Adam saw that Zhang Xun had been silent, and chuckled, "A Xun, are you afraid of the sixth chief?"

"I'm not afraid of him." Zhang Xun glanced at him, "It's just..."

It's just that like Patty's situation, he couldn't get any handle on the sixth chief.

Since that roundtable questioning, he has used his little eyeliner to gather some "background knowledge" on people who might be hostile to him or Adam.Not every chief has been monitored by him, but for those who are as hostile as the sixth chief, he must focus on tracking them down.

Human beings are human after all, more or less there will be little secrets that are disgraceful and don't want to be known by others, most of them are harmless.On the contrary, the more people who can't find anything, the more frightening they are.And the sixth chief is like this.

Adam seemed to be in a good mood, and even hummed softly on the way back to the Lab.Humming seems to be something that Adam has only recently learned, and the content of humming is extensive, ranging from popular songs to ancient songs hundreds of years ago... After all, his database might contain all the songs since human beings recorded...

Zhang Xun was puzzled to see that he was even smiling, "Why are you so happy?"

"I'm about to create humans with Axun!"

Zhang Xun's left foot tripped over his right foot, and he almost fell on the ground.Fortunately, Adam caught it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Sorry, I may have made a slip of the tongue just now. It should be said to build robots with Axun."

"..." This guy never slips of the tongue!

Zhang Xun wanted to kick him, but couldn't help laughing a few times, "It's most efficient to let one AI train another AI. I think you will be responsible for feeding the new AI with data in the future."

"What should our baby be called?"

"Adam!"

"Ah? Is it the same name as me? Isn't it too good? When you call Adam, you don't even know who you're calling."

"...Forget it, just be happy."

"Axun, what do you think of Abel because I think you have a Bible complex."

"..."

"Or Mary? Jesus?"

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

At eight o'clock the next night, Zhang Xun stood outside the gate of the Sixth Chief's manor on time.

The sixth chief, the Miller family, is from Germany. His father and Zhang Xun's teacher were still classmates. He was once an excellent mechanic and later became a member of the round table.It is said that the sixth chief originally wanted to be a mechanic, but in the end he followed his father's will to join politics, and finally became one of the top ten people in the round table.

The entire manor is made of dark red bricks, and both the frieze and the sculptures on the lintel have a sense of rigor and heaviness from a past century.There are no flowers and trees in the garden in front of the gate, only a few cars parked, and a unique half-human statue made of discarded parts.

Zhang Xun knocked on the door nervously.From time to time, a man who looked like a butler appeared at the gate, politely invited him in, and led him all the way into... the restaurant?

In a room with dark red European-style wallpaper, the long dining table for ten is covered with a spotless white tablecloth, but only a simple dinner plate and soup bowl are placed at one end.The sixth chief was sitting at the table, holding a knife and fork in his hand, chewing food seriously, and occasionally took a glass of wine to sip red wine.

When Zhang Xun came in, he continued to eat as if he didn't hear it.

Zhang Xun was at a loss, stood uncomfortably on the other side of the long table, coughed lightly, "Sorry, did I come at the wrong time?"

The sixth chief raised his head as if he had just realized his existence, and then smiled kindly at him.

"You came just in time, have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the sixth chief said directly, "Then let's eat together. Mr. Glenn, please give Mr. Zhang a pair of knives and forks."

"It's really not necessary, I..." However, the housekeeper turned around and left the door without giving him a chance to refuse.

The sixth chief also took the initiative to pour a glass of red wine, put it on the seat on his left, and signaled Zhang Xun with his eyes, "Sit."

Zhang Xun suddenly felt forced to go to the Hongmen Banquet...
