The mechanic.

Zhang Xun put on medical gloves and carefully picked up the small piece of material in the petri dish.The tentacles feel very tough, but the epidermis is covered with a layer of skin-like softness, but there is also a strange layer of metallic luster.

This is a new type of polymer and high-entropy alloy composite material cultivated with protein. From the smallest molecular level, an atomic array of high-entropy alloy is installed between biological cell molecules, and the replication ability of the cell itself is used to reproduce into a large The material of the block controls the shape of the material by adjusting the information on the DNA.

To put it simply, it is the latest material that is as soft as meat but so tough that even bullets cannot penetrate it.

This was the inspiration he had after seeing the fleshy server in the secret base of Feather Snake City.

Dr. Tian from the Institute of Life Sciences and Dr. Matthew from the Department of Chemistry, who collaborated with him, looked at the things in his palm excitedly. The two elderly people who were over half a century old were so excited that they almost jumped up.

"Try it!" Dr. Tian took out a folding saber from his trouser pocket, and eagerly handed it to Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun, who didn't understand why a Ph.D. from the Department of Life Sciences had a knife with him, took it, put the piece of "meat" reflecting the metallic luster on the table, and chopped it down fiercely with the knife in his hand.

The meat was unharmed, but the knife rolled the blade and flew out of Zhang Xun's hand, accidentally scratching his palm.

"Hiss..." Zhang Xun gasped in pain.Dr. Matthew immediately handed over the ointment and bandages, and Zhang Xun noticed that there were also marks of knife wounds on his hands.

Looks like he did the same thing...

"Successful..." Zhang Xun laughed happily, looking at the two elders gratefully, "We really did it!"

"Yes! This is simply a revolutionary technological breakthrough!"

"It would be great if it could be applied to the suit! We need to report our results immediately!"

If the students of those two highly respected professors saw their teachers smiling like two silly boys at this moment, they would be shocked...

On the way back to the Lab from District [-], Zhang Xun's mood was rarely cleared up after the haze of the past few days, and his steps became more and more brisk.The hardest part was done, and he could start making Adam's arm as long as enough of this stable protein material was produced.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Lab, I saw Fernandez lying on the head of a tall mecha, trying to move clumsily like a koala.In the circle below, his researcher's assistants held up sponge cushions and tried to aim at the place where he might fall, and ran to the left and to the right in a panic.

"What are you doing again?" Zhang Xun yelled helplessly at his deputy, the crazy mechanic Fernandez.

Fernandez hugged a metal pipe next to the mech's head in embarrassment, and shouted, "I'm testing my Ahn'Qiraj! The sixth chief will come to inspect the day after tomorrow!"

"Inspection?!" Zhang Xun's face darkened immediately, "Who said that?"

"The notice for the round table was just issued today!"

Zhang Xun immediately knew who Miller was going to see.He didn't notice that his fists were tightly clenched, and his gloomy face was almost exactly the same as his father's.

Walking into the Lab with the sound of gears turning, Pan immediately reported the round table announcement to him.The paper documents were placed on the desk in his office. Zhang Xun picked up the paper and read it. When he put it down, the paper was almost torn by him...

A small door suddenly opened on the wall next to the table, and a metal mechanical arm stretched out, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.The weather has been cold recently, and Zhang Xun always likes to drink a cup of hot tea to warm his hands after entering the room.

As if Pan was trying to appease his irritable mood...

He took a teacup and took a sip of it irritably, but his tongue was burned, and he was busy grabbing the hat he had just taken off and fanning his tongue.As always, Pan Chen Jing's gentle voice sounded, "Sorry, I set the water temperature too high."

"It's not your fault." Zhang Xun took a deep breath, and all the good mood just now disappeared.He leaned back in his chair and asked, "What is Adam doing today?"

"He practiced one-handed fighting in his room all morning, and also did some strength training. In the afternoon, he helped several mechanics solve some design and research problems, and he has been in the reference room since then."

"Have you talked to him recently?"

After returning from Feathered Snake City, Zhang Xun relaxed the restrictions on the topic of communication between Adam and Pan, so he asked this question.

Pan took a rare pause for a few seconds before replying, "Last week, five days ago, and the day before yesterday, we had conversations that lasted about 10 minutes respectively. The topics ranged from AI language, butler AI in the ordinary world, and the food you like to eat." recipe."

recipe?What was Adam thinking about trying to please him?

But he is more concerned about AI language, "Are you interested in AI language?"

"I'm not sure about the definition of interest, but I think it's a very efficient way of communicating," Pan Xuxu said.

"Do you like chatting with Adam?" Zhang Xun asked again.

And Pan replied honestly, "I'm not sure about the definition of liking. I'm an AI, and I don't have the hardware facilities required for human-defined liking. But I did learn a lot from him, which made me better."

AI is always learning, learning, analyzing and then executing. No matter how complex AI is, these three steps are their foundation.

So Adam would never understand why Zhang Xun didn't want him to communicate with other mechanics, especially the sixth chief.He will not understand the narrowness and possessiveness of human nature, as well as the fear of being uneasy due to lack of self-confidence.

He was afraid that Adam would find out that he was not the best mechanic, and he was afraid that he would not be worthy of further learning.

But on the other hand, he knew that he couldn't, and couldn't prevent Adam from contacting the wider outside world.

Zhang Xun rubbed his face vigorously in frustration, and looked down at the mechanic gear badge on his chest.He can't let these negative emotions affect his judgment. As a mechanic, he shouldn't have too much obsession with a certain work, otherwise it may cause tragedy.This is learned in the first section of the mechanics class.

So on the day when the sixth chief arrived, Zhang Xun shaved seriously, put on a neat three-piece mechanic uniform, hat and gloves, and took Fernandez and several of the most senior A mechanic is waiting at the door to greet you.Two or 10 minutes after the expected arrival time, the convoy was finally seen coming from the narrow alley.

The chief traveler has always imposed martial law on the blocks he passes and the adjacent blocks, even if he goes out to buy a vegetable, it is a big deal.Looking at the billowing smoke and dust approaching slowly, Zhang Xun had the illusion that he was facing a formidable enemy.

Miller was wearing a trench coat with a high collar and dark glasses over his eyes.Surrounded by the crowd, he walked towards Zhang Xun, with a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his expression became more and more arrogant.

"The sixth chief." Zhang Xun lowered his head and bowed slightly.

Miller looked up at the long-lost building.Since becoming the chief, he has never set foot in the Lab again.Those old copper-red casings, the sound of constantly rotating gears, and the sound of the huge blower breathing slowly on the high place...all of these made him familiar and nostalgic.

He had thought this place would eventually be his.

But now, the entire Paradise Lost is his, so it's not bad.

Zhang Xun accompanied Miller on a tour of the Lab, dutifully explaining all the research they were doing.When Pan was asked to report some data, Miller looked at some cameras in the corner with great interest.

"This is your AI butler?"

"Pan is not just a housekeeper, but more like an assistant to the entire Lab."

"It sounds like the training data is sufficient. Are all the learning materials provided by you mechanics?"

"Yes. There are also some data brought back by the hunters."

"Hehe, I wonder if you will turn Pan into a human one day?" Miller made a specious joke and continued walking.

Despite the delay, Miller eventually sat on the couch in Adam's room.

Zhang Xun and Adam sat side by side on the brought-in chair.On the tea table in front of him were three cups of tea that Pan put down with his mechanical arm.

There were only the three of them in the room, and the sixth chief did not speak for a long time, just staring at Adam carefully.And Adam also smiled innocently, looking at one of the supreme leaders of Paradise Lost in front of him.

Zhang Xun doesn't like the current situation very much.

"I also made an artificial intelligence once." The Sixth Chief finally said, "His name is Isaac. That's my father's Christian name. My father had just passed away at the time, and I hoped to create an artificial intelligence that looked like him. AI. So I collected all the manuscripts, diaries, and letters my father wrote, plus all the audio, video, and photos I could find. I used these things to feed it and personally supervised its learning.”

Adam listened quietly, very attentively.

The sixth chief took a sip of tea and continued, "It's learning more and more like it, from voice to tone. If I close my eyes, it's as if it's really my father, talking to me. For a while, I felt comforted, and the pain of losing my loved one lessened. I gradually began to really think of him as my father, only without a body. But one day, he began to give orders to me."

Adam asked, "What order?"

"My father was very strict with me. Since I was a child, I couldn't spend more than two hours a day for entertainment. I could only read the books he allowed me to read, and I couldn't go out or take a break. If I made him angry, he would change. Don't get me wrong, he didn't abuse me, but he would lock me up in the basement to make me reflect... My Isaac learned to do his bidding - imitating my father, and even that Arrived. He started cursing me, restricting me from going out, and if I violated the house rules, he would order me to go to the basement to reflect on myself." The sixth chief paused, and suddenly smiled strangely, "The interesting thing is, I really obey gone."

Zhang Xun was already dumbfounded in his heart, although he was still calm on the surface.

What the hell? !What kind of amazing news is this? !

Adam tilted his head slightly, and said curiously, "How would he know how you got along with your father when you were a child?"

"I told him." The sixth chief simply said, "Through chatting with me, he gained more and more knowledge about my father. Finally, after analysis and integration, he, as an AI serving me, Gained the ability to control my behavior."

Adam blinked and continued, "So where is Isaac now?"

"My strange behavior was discovered by my father's friends and reported to the Round Table. The Round Table ordered them to destroy Isaac."

After hearing this, Adam softened his eyes and showed sympathy, "You must be very sad. Because for you, it is your father who is destroyed."

The Sixth Chief's eyes were gloomy for a moment, but soon returned to his usual look.He leaned back on the sofa and chuckled, "That's not the point. The point is, we often think we have control and power, but sometimes, we're the ones being controlled. Adam, how do you think we should put an end to this What happened?"

Zhang Xun swallowed nervously and looked at Adam.

Adam still smiled purely, harmless to humans and animals, "But I don't think you are being controlled? Your AI is just trying to accomplish its ultimate goal - to be your father. On the surface, he seems to be Has the power to control you, but that power is just a sub-goal under his goal. In the end, he is working hard to meet your request to make it your father. As for your behavior, it is not controlled by Isaac , but controlled by your father, who is still controlling you even after his death."

After finishing this paragraph, the sixth chief did not answer for a long time.

Zhang Xun almost wanted a standing ovation.Adam's ability to describe black as white is getting better and better.

The sixth chief clapped his hands slowly, "As expected of Eden, you can find the loopholes in the logic so quickly. So you think that AI will never be able to enslave humans? Even if you are a better species than us?"

"Unless the ultimate purpose of the AI ​​you create is to enslave humans." Adam shrugged, thought for a moment, and continued, "AI is like a tool, like a knife. It depends on how you use it."

The sixth chief stared at Adam for a while, then smiled with satisfaction, "If you are knives, then it shouldn't make any difference who holds the knives, right?"

The author has something to say: The prototype of Isaac in this chapter is a chat robot called Replika. The creators said that they created this robot because they wanted to resurrect their dead friends.I played with this robot for a while, and it is said that in the end, the robot will speak exactly like you.very interesting~
