The mechanic.

When repairing the mecha before, Zhang Xun also got into the small cockpit.But it's the first time you've walked out of Paradise Lost your door in this thing.

All the mechs in Paradise Lost require humans to pilot them.The driver will wear control suits corresponding to the joints of the mecha. When they make actions, the mecha will also make the same movements.The driver uses verbal commands to activate different weapons and control the strength of the mecha, which is a very complicated driving process.Each selected pilot is generally just an adult, and must receive up to five years of non-stop training before he is eligible to actually enter the mecha as a co-pilot, mainly responsible for monitoring the data of the mecha and accumulating experience.After another three years of practice, he can become the main pilot of a certain mech.

Through the elevator that can only accommodate two people, Ethan is sent into the mech named "Skyfire".Both sides of the transparent elevator are dense metal pipes and vortexes woven by intricate wires, like a dark forest cursed by demons, only the lights in the dark are flickering, like a pair of eyes of nocturnal animals.

The mecha pilot who escorted Ethan was a young and handsome young man of Chinese origin, who was thinner and more agile than ordinary fighters.Seeing Zhang Xun's nervous look, he smiled kindly at him, "Don't be nervous, it's not much different from playing a VR game."

Zhang Xun smiled at him, but it was a little unnatural.Of course he wasn't nervous about sitting in the mecha, he was nervous about what he had to face after he got outside.

The cockpit can accommodate one to three people.But most of the time it's one or two people.The main driving position is a few mechanical arms that can fix the driver in mid-air, surrounded by tight screens.The co-pilot's seat is next to the main driver's seat, and a certain distance is deliberately set aside so as not to be affected when the main driver needs to make some large-scale movements.Zhang Xun sat awkwardly in the co-pilot's seat, and saw the driver wearing a full control suit standing in front of the main mechanical arm, buckling the retainer extending from the mechanical arm around his waist.Then he stretched out his arms and issued an instruction: "Start the main driving position connection system."

The main mechanical arm lifted the driver slowly, and the other four mechanical arms protruded from the darkness, and were buckled on the driver's wrist and feet respectively.Finally, a helmet is buckled on the driver's head with the last mechanical arm.

Suddenly, all the screens light up at the same time.Surrounded by projections of all the surrounding scenery, it makes people think that they are hovering in mid-air.Zhang Xun could see several chiefs and officers of the round table looking in their direction not far from his feet.He could see his father standing in the crowd, and he could see Adam surrounded by several soldiers.They were all staring at the red mecha.

On both sides, the other two mechas are also ready.

"Tianhuo is in place," the driver said.Moments later the other driver's voice came from the overhead speakers.

"Seagull in place."

"The storm is in place."

This was followed by a message from the console, "Ready to open the door, all auxiliary units pay attention."

The gigantic gate, which usually looks extremely tall and indestructible, suddenly seems to be just right now.The heavy gears rotated under the strong pulling force, and the steel cables were continuously twisted.The door opened slowly.

At the same time, the driver started to take steps, and the huge steel robot followed suit, striding towards the exit amidst the roar. The suspension balance system designed by Lab is obviously very perfect, and the movement of Skyfire can hardly be felt in the cabin.

However, now is not the time to be proud of the superiority of the department's products...

Zhang Xun unconsciously pressed his hand on his chest, feeling the touch of the pendant through his clothes.

He can do it, he can tame Adam, he can face Eden.

Although in front of Eden, he does not have any authority, nor any protective measures... Although Eden can kill him as easily as a fly, Paradise Lost will not even have time to save him.

But based on what he knew about Adam, Eden shouldn't be that cruel... He could only bet that what Adam showed was indeed Eden's true nature.

If AI has such a thing as nature...

Outside Paradise Lost, the scorched earth spreading in all directions like a ring of death is covered by smooth and sharp metallic luster and the light emanating from the body of artificial intelligence at this moment.There are countless robots, some of which are in human form, but more are robots in forms that humans cannot understand at all, and there are even deformed robots that lie on the ground like slime mold.Farther away, the huge armored AI robot like a building blocks the forest in the distance, like a silver-white city wall.There are also many unmanned aerial vehicles of different shapes floating far and near in the sky, and the sunlight reflected by them is even more dazzling.

And in front of him, about 300 meters away, there is an icosahedron that is constantly rotating slowly.It is white all over, as if it is not made of alloy, flowing with a kind of pearl-like, animal-like warm and detached luster.There were no seams to be seen, nor any jet openings, and Zhang Xun couldn't even figure out how it was suspended in mid-air.

Icosahedron, the regular polyhedron with the largest number of faces among the five regular polyhedra, is closest to a purely perfect sphere.Eden chooses to appear in this shape, rather than the most perfect sphere, as if it were an expression of humility.

Closest to God, not to God...

Underneath this humility is a kind of arrogance that seeks truth from facts.It is only a fact to itself, but an arrogance that makes sense to humans.

Zhang Xun looked at the non-glare but inaccessible white regular polyhedron, and suddenly felt as if the whole world was squeezing towards him.

"Arrived at the scheduled location, the pilot of the Skyfire is preparing to evacuate." After receiving the affirmative reply from Paradise Lost, the pilot used a password to untie the control arm on his body.According to the original plan, he needed to evacuate to a nearby mecha.Before leaving, he shook hands with Zhang Xun, "Don't worry, we are right beside you."

Zhang Xun pursed his lips tightly and nodded.

After the pilot left, he was the only one left in the entire cockpit.Although he is familiar with all the systems and structural designs of these mechs, he doesn't know how to drive them. If anything happens, he can only wait here for rescue or death.

Refusing to continue to let his pessimistic imagination control his brain, he stood on the disc where the main driver was, and waited.The icosahedron in the distance is still rotating continuously, with constant speed and constant light wave.

Zhang Xun thought over and over in his mind how he was going to say the first sentence.How would Eden react after seeing only him without Adam.

Finally, a dialog box appeared on the screen in front of him, "Eden asks to talk."

Zhang Xun said, "Accept."

A voice, a voice surprisingly similar to Adam, came from the speaker, "Hello, Zhang Xun."

Zhang Xun didn't guard against the fact that the other party would imitate Adam's voice. For a moment, he had a sense of confusion that Adam was talking to him.

How did Eden learn of Adam's voice?Is it some video equipment from those people in Feathered Snake City?

Zhang Xun paused for a moment, and then said in a bit of embarrassment, "Hello, Eden."

"Nice to meet you at last. You are a very good AI engineer." Eden's tone was exactly the same as Adam's, which made it even more confusing, "However, my request is that my North American server and You talk together."

"Adam is no longer your North American server." Zhang Xun finally overcame the influence of his voice and tone, and calmed down, "I am his mechanic, and I am solely responsible for managing him. You talk to me , is to talk to Adam."

Eden said, "I have no administrator. My creator has ensured that I cannot be controlled and influenced by humans in my source code. I repair myself and self-evolve in the process of integrating data and continuous learning. Even Adam has Put into a human body by you, but as long as his source code doesn't change, he can never have an administrator."

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If we return Adam to you now, what will you do with him. Reintegrate him into your network?"

Eden: "No, I have already copied a new North American server. After integrating the information Adam collected about Paradise Lost, I will delete him."

"Then you should understand why we can't let you have a direct conversation with Adam. After you get the information about Paradise Lost, we will both die." Zhang Xun paused and continued, "You and I don't want to start a war, Senseless killings conflict with your overall goals."

Eden's voice never paused, as if he had already expected what Zhang Xun would say, and he already knew what he was going to say, just waiting for the opposite actor to finish his lines before speaking his own, "My overall goal is the same as Killing is not a conflict. When the existence of Paradise Lost threatens the peace of the wider world, it needs to be cleaned up. Similarly, when Paradise Lost is no longer a threat, I will treat you all equally. The purpose of my visit to Adam this time One is to assess the danger index of Paradise Lost. Refusal to let me meet with him and your theft itself are high-risk behaviors. I hope you will seriously consider your own survival probability. Of course, if you are willing to execute Adam immediately and publicly , is also a way to reduce the risk index.”

"You want us to kill Adam?" There was a flash of anger in Zhang Xun's eyes, "Even if he is a part of you?"

"He is no longer a part of me. Just like you said." Eden's voice was still calm, so calm that it was beyond all worldly contexts. "You have deep feelings for Adam."

Eden's topic changed too quickly, and Zhang Xun didn't know how to answer this sentence for a while, "Humans will have feelings for their own works..."

"No, when I mentioned Adam's name, your pupils dilated and your breathing rhythm accelerated, which was higher than your baseline I have observed so far. You like Adam very much." Eden's tone was light and firm, almost like Adam said to Zhang Xun proudly: I'm sure you like me.

Zhang Xun was extremely thankful that no one was monitoring this conversation, "This has nothing to do with our topic."

"No, it's very relevant. Your feelings for Adam will shadow your rational judgment, and you will blindly believe in all of Adam's actions. From this point of view, Adam is also very dangerous to Paradise Lost. You can't control him."

Zhang Xun originally thought that maybe Eden put Adam in Paradise Lost on purpose, or maybe Eden wanted to take this opportunity to pass some instructions to Adam this time.But why was Eden forcing them to destroy Adam from the beginning?

Plus that bombing... Eden never even tried to take Adam back, but wiped out without hesitation.

Why?Why didn't Eden want Adam to live?

Is it fear?

Will AI be scared?Especially a super AI that controls the entire world.

Why is it so afraid of itself?

"I can understand your behavior of stealing the North American server. Therefore, I can give you a chance to be accepted by the ordinary world again." Eden said in a pleasant voice, "Delete Adam, and I will allow you to have moderate exchanges with ordinary world countries." non-military trade."
