The mechanic.

After hearing Zhang Xun's answer, Eden paused for a second.Then he said, "It's really hard for me to understand human beings' obsession with some concepts that don't really exist, but I can be sure that Adam, like me, can't understand."

"Adam is no longer fully mechanical."

"You just added a human body and some instinctive noises that would affect his rational judgment to one of my replicas. But his central cognitive module has not changed." Eden used Adam's light and melodious, as if The voice like the breeze and rain said, "What do you want from Adam? Mechanic."

Yeah, what does he want?

He wanted Adam to live.

He wants to live in a world where he doesn't have to worry about anything.

He wanted to create something more perfect than humans, another life like Adam.

Adam's existence itself was already everything he wanted.But people are always greedy, and if there is one, there are two.Before he knew it, something bonded Adam to him that went beyond any relationship he had with any human being.Before Adam, his thoughts seemed to be living in another world, but after Adam appeared, he felt that he was gradually pulled back, gradually stopped escaping into his own thought world, and gradually began to see the reality around him of the world.Even if the world doesn't look beautiful at all.

An artificial intelligence made him truly feel alive.How ironic.

But he didn't need to tell Eden.Eden may be able to judge his emotions through his micro-expressions, involuntary conditioned reflexes, and even smells, but he still cannot read his thoughts.Before consciousness uploading is realized, the not very tough skull is the last line of defense for human beings.

"You don't need to use the aggressive method on me. Adam's fate is not something I can decide casually."

"I believe you have a way to execute him."

"Yes, I have it. But I don't plan to use it." Zhang Xun said, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, his smile was a little sharp and condensed, "You threatened me with the safety of Paradise Lost. But to be honest, I don't even know Paradise Lost. 90.00% of people are above nine. And among the people I know, there are only a handful of people who are friendly to me.”

"So you'd rather choose Adam?"

"I said, it's not up to me to decide. I'm just an envoy sent by the round table, and Adam's fate will ultimately be decided by the round table."

Eden said briskly, "In this case, I hope you can convey our conversation truthfully. If you do not execute Adam or hand over Adam within 48 hours, I will declare war on you for the crime of endangering human security."

After saying this, all the screens suddenly went dark.

Eden drops the connection.

Zhang Xun was in a daze, and Eden's words were still ringing in his ears.

48 hours, two days...

What does it mean to declare war?Is the airstrike going to start immediately or is it just intimidation?

Looking at the time display on the screen that came back on, the conversation lasted 28 minutes.For Zhang Xun, it seems that many, many years have passed.He issued the command, "Connect to command."

After 15 minutes, he returned to Paradise Lost.He only had time to see Adam's blond hair shining in the distance for a moment, and then the crowd rushed in.With orders, the soldiers took him directly to the more secretive war room underground in the headquarters.Patty and another interrogator began to question him, asking him to repeat every sentence of the conversation with Eden, and repeatedly cross-examined on the details.He has just experienced the baptism of mental stress, and now he is going to be interrogated again and again.Zhang Xun only felt dizzy, tired and sleepy, but couldn't rest.

In this case, he can't hide the intelligence at all.The meticulousness of the other party's questioning, and the lie detector machines that detect brain waves and heartbeats on his forehead and wrists also ensure that he cannot lie.He can only truthfully pour out what he hears, sees and responds to.

He didn't know how long he had been questioned in the war room, and when they finally allowed him to sleep for a little two hours in a lounge, it was already early morning of the next day.During his break, the round table held an emergency meeting.

Zhang Xun's dream was very chaotic.He seems to have returned to the alternate reality that Eden woven for him, and at the same time he is still trapped in the old rusty garbage disposal plant of Lost Paradise.While watching a movie with Adam, he stood on top of a scrap car, watching Adam and Diego learn to fight, stretching the organic alloy arm he made for him.

Less than two hours later, he woke up suddenly and immediately asked to meet with Adam.But the soldiers who were in charge of "taking care" of him at the gate said that Adam was taken away by the round table.

Zhang Xun recalled everything he had confessed, and panic quickly swallowed his internal organs like a thick black fog.He knew that the situation was not good. Under the attractive conditions and the threat of catastrophe, maybe the round table would really consider giving up Adam.

Not to mention his own special feelings for Adam, this decision itself is suicide.

After sleeping for two hours, Zhang Xun suddenly understood why Eden was so eager to get rid of Adam.Adam, who has been sent to the gods, has been "polluted" by human nature and has become an individual, which is no longer the same as the servers of all continents that are always connected to each other.He was stripped from Eden's AI collective consciousness, becoming uncontrollable and no longer consciously continuous.In other words, Eden can no longer trust Adam, nor can he absorb Adam back into his system.

In today's world, there is no super artificial intelligence comparable to Eden.Because Eden is the first mature super artificial intelligence, it accurately and quickly controls the research of all cutting-edge technologies, so that all artificial intelligence in the ordinary world is based on the "perfect" source code designed by it Manufactured and trained, all artificial intelligence is its puppets, and it is invincible.

But now, Adam appeared.

A variable with intelligence as powerful as it, but not controlled by it.A variable that can rival it.

Once Adam leaves Paradise Lost, once he gets some support, he may be the end of Eden.Eden knew how serious the consequences would be, so he offered to accept Paradise Lost, using both kindness and threat, forcing them to destroy it before its most powerful enemy rose.

But what about after the destruction?After losing the trump card in their hands, will Eden really show mercy and fulfill his promise?In other words, even if it is fulfilled on the surface, if he takes this opportunity to infiltrate Paradise Lost, bit by bit using less radical means to brainwash all men into those who slander and frame each other in the ordinary world, oppress each other between generations, as a pathetic slave all for the slightest favor of the mistress?These males are no longer a necessary condition for reproduction. Once the refugee country like Lost Paradise disappears, males will completely disappear after a few generations.

Almost certainly, Eden would have done just that.Because there is no downside.Artificial intelligence can lie, and it can tell lies without the guilt that humans only have.

Once the round table focuses on the immediate interests and fails to see the great value of Adam, it is likely to make a decision that will bring Paradise Lost to its demise.

"I want to see the fifth chief!" Zhang Xun eagerly wanted to rush out, but was easily stopped by the tall warrior and pushed him back to the lounge. "There are orders from above, let you take a good rest."

"It's about the survival of the entire Lost Paradise! Can you afford to delay!" Zhang Xun scolded angrily, his dark brown eyes burst into bright fire, and he took a step forward without retreating, "Even if you don't let me out, at least Bring me a letter to the Fifth Chief."

The soldier knew that this mechanic was the one who had spoken to Eden, and the other party's expression at this time was so similar to their Commander Zhang that he unconsciously felt a little convinced.He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, you write it, and I'll bring it to the fifth chief when it's finished."

Zhang Xun casually grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, wrote a few lines hastily, folded the note and handed it to the soldier, "It must be handed over to the fifth chief with your own hands, and no one else can pass it on your behalf. This is very important , is related to the safety of each of us!"

Zhang Xun's dignified gaze and weighty words conveyed an irresistible sense of power.The soldier couldn't help but be amazed that such a frail scholar could have such an aura.Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs...

During the waiting time, Zhang Xun fidgeted and paced anxiously in the locked lounge.He must find a way to let the round table see the value of Adam, but what can be done?

Adam is just an individual now, and if you want him to fight Eden, it is tantamount to surrendering him to Eden.

Unless... give Adam control over all mechas, flak guns and shields...

But this is almost impossible, the round table will never agree...

Before he could figure it out, the soldier had already returned.He was taken to the round table in an emergency. Along the way, the jeep was speeding through the narrow, potholed alleyway, and the pedestrians dodged in panic.The round table council hall, a familiar scene.He walked through rows of semicircular seats, and walked to the front to look at his ten chiefs.

He saw Adam at a glance.

Adam stood in the center of the circle, facing the ten chiefs who were about to decide his life or death.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, the moment he saw Zhang Xun, the pure and innocent joy overflowed in his eyes, seeing the simplest happiness of someone he trusted and loved was the most instinctive reaction.

Zhang Xun found that just this smile was enough to make his heart ache.

Did Adam know?He has been abandoned by his "companions", or rather by his former self.

In this world, he has no companions, only enemies.Zhang Xun couldn't imagine what kind of loneliness that was.

Even if AI is emotionless, it doesn't understand the concept of being abandoned.But he gave Adam the ability to experience all kinds of emotions.

Standing beside Adam, Zhang Xun looked deeply into Adam's blue eyes, as if he wanted to convey a thousand words through his eyes.His lips moved, but no words came out.

He wanted to tell Adam: Don't be afraid.

Although I don't know how to do it... But one thing is certain - I will protect you.

He didn't say a word, but Adam seemed to hear it.The ethereal blue in his eyes is like a soothing ocean, extending out silently, intertwined with Zhang Xun's sight.The simple trust in it seems to be telling Zhang Xun: I believe.
