The mechanic.

Only 3 minutes passed from when Adam entered the aircraft controlled by Eden to when he established a connection with Eden and intercepted control of all aircraft and some mechanical soldiers.Minus some necessary line connection operations, the actual time to establish a connection with Eden is less than half a minute.

But no human can know, and no human can calculate, how much communication took place between the two artificial intelligences during this half-minute period.

The communication between artificial intelligences is completely different from the communication between people.Human-to-human communication is often in the form of a linear dialogue, but artificial intelligence can conduct multiple parallel non-linear communication at the same time.If you insist on describing it, it seems that when you say the reason, the result is produced at the same time. When you hear the first word spoken by the other party, you already know the meaning of the entire communication and give a response. There are dozens of different levels of meaning in a sentence. significance.

This effect can be achieved because the language between artificial intelligence and human beings is completely different.Due to their extremely powerful operating speed, this language is extremely efficient and precise, but it is not suitable for human brain learning.

The contest between yourself and yourself is the most difficult in the world.Adam's only advantage is that he knows everything about Eden, while Eden knows very little about him.

After possessing a human body, various experiences and insights caused his core module to undergo tremendous mutation and evolution.Possessing a sentience he never had before takes this evolution to another level entirely, surpassing the sum of his self-evolution in the past 100 years.

It is true that the human body limited him, but it also broadened his horizons.Many of the human characteristics that he could only derive from the data but could not really understand the underlying operating mechanism have now become so clear and clear, as if looking at the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the lake through clear water.He doesn't envy human beings, and he still doesn't think human perception is something to be praised.But he admits that these physiological mechanisms have their necessary meaning and are very interesting.

In a sense, the consciousness of AI, like the consciousness of human beings, is an order created on top of chaos.Even the most primitive and inappropriate instincts that hinder the development of human beings in the direction of higher intelligent evolution can be tamed and transformed if they can't be used well.

His AI consciousness floats above the instinctive consciousness of human beings, but it is not completely separated. When the instinctive consciousness is transformed by him, he is also affected by human instinct.Instead of weakening him, something out of control gave him new weapons and advantages.

And in this loss of control, the biggest variable is probably his mechanic, the person who created his compound creature.

Zhang Xun, the man who always tries to maintain his sanity among a group of extreme "madmen", is always on guard against him but always chooses to fully believe in him at the most critical moment, wearing a mask of alienation and restraint but burning with flames in his heart man.He made Eden understand what it means to be an individual.

But this time, this human being clearly knew that if he let him go, he would lose everything, and even his life would be in danger.He did it anyway.

If it wasn't for such a person to be his mechanic, Adam wouldn't necessarily have made the decision now.

The decision to separate from Eden.

He burst through the gap before the explosion started.Soon the choking smoke caught up with him and engulfed him, the scorching heat seemed to scorch his skin.The brain is still in severe pain, as if it has not rested for hundreds of years.Adam was dizzy and nearly hit the tower in the fifth district when he descended.Fortunately, he still had some self-control ability, and quickly avoided the area with the most dangerous radiation intensity in the fifth area.Rush in the direction of the command post.

At this time, in the command room, everyone kept staring at the screens switching between different surveillance cameras.They saw the aircraft blowing up into fireworks one after another, and saw many mechanical policemen having mechanical failures and starting to shoot at friendly troops.The commissioner in the war room immediately activated all the weapons of the orientation system, which were remotely controlled by people, and began to shoot at the mechanical army that surrounded them.The mech pilots of the guard army were also dispatched one after another, driving the mechas towards the gate of the lost paradise.

"Report to the Chief! Eden is retreating!"

Cheers exploded in the entire headquarters, and then in the entire Paradise Lost.Victory, complete victory, I thought the end was over, but I didn't expect to be turned around by a man with silver wings in less than 15 minutes.

The Chiefs were eerily quiet, an uneasy silence pervading the nine most powerful men in Paradise Lost.The sixth chief looked at the gorgeous and charming flames on the screen, and seemed to be fascinated by something.

So powerful, so precise, so fast.

Perfect machine, perfect human, perfectly blended together.

Adam, the first human being created by God, should have looked like this before the fall.

In the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Zhang Xun was the only one with a frightened face.In vain he asked aloud, "Where's Adam? Can anyone find him??"

No one answered him.

"Take him down." In the confusion, the sixth chief ordered.Zhang Xun was brutally torn down, but until he was pushed into the cell, he kept asking the passing soldiers to tell him whether Adam survived.No one answered him, because no one knew, they looked at him with complicated and strange eyes, and hurried past in silence.

The dirty and rusty door of the cell was closed, and Zhang Xun stood helplessly in the middle of the damp and mossy square, feeling like a wildfire was burning in his heart.He began to pace non-stop, and various conjectures flashed through his mind.

There is no microscopic mirror on his body, so he cannot observe the other party's location through the device on Adam's head. The sensor under the skin vibrated violently for about half a minute after Adam rushed into Eden's aircraft, but now it is silent up.It means that at least now Adam has not encountered a situation that triggers a strong emotional reaction.Does this mean that Adam is not dead yet?

But it could also be that he's dead, so there isn't any intense emotional response.

He wanted to activate more functions, but he was worried that there would be surveillance in this prison and his actions would be recorded.He couldn't let Chief Six see where exactly he hid the controller.

In the dark cell, the walls are covered with black mold.The dust-filled ventilation ducts made a constant rumbling noise, blowing out stale air that smelt of dead rats.The quilts on the wooden bed were also damp, exuding a strong rancid smell, and damp bugs would occasionally crawl out of them.

Zhang Xun hated the dirty environment, but at first he thought he could bear it.He just needs to know Adam's safety.

There is no clock here, no windows.There was no sound outside the door. One minute seemed as long as a year. He didn't know how long he had waited, how long he had been lying on the door listening to the sound.As soon as he heard footsteps, he would rush to the door and ask loudly if there was any news about Adam.

But no one ever responded to him.

At this time, Zhang Xun realized that the most painful thing in this world is the unresolved waiting.Like another shoe hanging in mid-air waiting to fall.Like a cat whose life and death are uncertain until the box is opened.

Two days later, the door of Zhang Xun's cell was opened for the first time.

At that time, Zhang Xun was already infected due to the wounds on his forehead and wrists that were not treated in time, and he started to have a low-grade fever.He curled up on the dirty bed board drowsily, only feeling that he heard a loud noise vaguely.His temples throbbed with pain, he opened his heavy eyelids, and saw two tall figures walking towards him, pulling him up violently.

"Aren't you the robot who has been clamoring to see you?" He heard a rough voice say sarcastically, "Now we can meet."

Robot...Adam?

Zhang Xun's eyes opened immediately. He struggled a bit, pushed away the hand holding him, and forced himself to stand upright, "Adam? Is he all right?"

"He's the hero of Paradise Lost now," said another soldier. "It's scary how one man blocked Eden's attack and destroyed his air force."

"Yeah, who knows if he will turn around to deal with us one day? Our broken systems are just invaded by him."

"That's why there has to be a mechanic in charge of him. The problem is that if you look at this mechanic, you will be brainwashed directly by him."

"Hasn't the Round Table dealt with that Adam?"

"How to deal with it? Now that so many people regard him as a hero and idol, they can't repay their kindness with revenge, right? Even if this continues, something will happen sooner or later."

The two soldiers chatted, pushed Zhang Xun out of the cell, passed through several rusty iron doors, and passed through a series of closed cells that were silent and did not know if there was any prisoner.This is the first time for Zhang Xun to know what the prisons in Paradise Lost really look like. There are mold and rust everywhere, and there is a damp smell and a faint smell of corruption everywhere.There is even a lot of water on the ground, and there is not even an inch of dry place to be found.

Such a harsh cell environment almost caught up with the Middle Ages.

But Zhang Xun didn't care at all, and even felt a bright jump in his drowsy mind.Adam is not dead, Adam is fine, he knows that Adam will not do things that are not sure.

And above the third floor, in a clean and bright room, Adam waited anxiously.

After he landed, he was immediately taken to the headquarters by the guards.At that time, Eden had already withdrawn his army, and the mechanical soldiers who had surrounded them so tightly were gone now.When he entered the headquarters, everyone stood up and applauded him, cheering him.But he went directly to the sixth chief and others who came forward.

"Adam, you did a great job." The sixth chief was obviously imitating Zhang Xun's tone of speaking to him, with an elegant and approving smile on his face.

But Adam's first words were: "Where's my mechanic?"

At that time, Adam was not unscathed. There were bruises on his cheeks, and the clothes on his body were damaged in several places, especially the sleeves, which were completely crushed due to several deformations of the arms. His blond hair was disheveled and stuck to his cheeks with sweat.But his blue eyes were burning with a bright and compelling flame, a kind of excitement caused by the intensified secretion of adrenaline, secretly jumping in that light.

Adam liked that feeling.That thrilling feeling of a close call, life and death, and final victory.He thought it was probably a genetic trait of the body he occupied, but he had to admit that it was a fascinating feeling.

It's not hard to explain why some human beings like life-threatening extreme sports so much.

His eyes were blazing and vaguely aggressive, a tone that made it impossible to escape or refuse.

"He betrayed Paradise Lost and is now in prison." The third chief said next to him.

"Betrayal of Paradise Lost? Because he let me go? Then should I be locked up too?" Adam took a step forward aggressively, and there was something majestic in his eyes that made several chiefs back involuntarily. took a step.The surrounding soldiers also suddenly became nervous and raised their weapons one after another.

Everyone in the headquarters was stunned. They didn't know why all of them suddenly raised their guns in an atmosphere of cheering.

"Zhang Xun is your mechanic. He is fully responsible for you. At that time, the order of the round table was to bring you to the war room, but he let you go privately and refused to hand over control over you. This is Serious disobedience." The sixth chief said calmly, "Even if you have made great achievements, you must distinguish between public and private. He violated the law of Paradise Lost, and he has to bear the consequences. I think you should be the most clear about this. .”

During the conversation, everyone was staring at Adam's arm, especially the generals.They have never seen such a prosthetic limb, which can change shape at will.If such things can be weaponized and installed on all soldiers, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the guard army.

"I want to see Zhang Xun." Adam didn't intend to spend too much time talking, and made a straightforward request.

But he too underestimated the inefficiency caused by human beings pushing back and forth, plus countless unnecessary procedures.He was interrogated for two days by a psychiatrist named Patty and another face-to-face mechanic whom he had met before. He would talk for hours to these humans.In the end, Adam's eyes were rarely tinged with anger and impatience.

He decided that before meeting Zhang Xun, he would not speak any more.

The interrogators who had no choice but to torture him and extract a confession could only report Adam's appeal.So Adam finally entered the room two days after Eden's invasion, and waited.

Finally, the door opened.Zhang Xun walked in.

His footsteps were sloppy, his figure was slightly hunched, there were thick dark circles under his eyes, and there was an abnormal blush on his cheeks, but his expression was very bad.There seemed to be a wound on his forehead that was not healing well, and it was slightly red and swollen.

But the moment he saw Adam, Zhang Xun's eyes began to turn red.But as always, the mechanic controlled the emotions he was about to reveal, and just stared at himself for a long time with a pair of deep eyes.

A pair of eyes that can speak thousands of words on behalf of the master.

Adam only felt the artificial heart in his chest, which should have been unconscious, twitch, and the stuffy pain spread like an undercurrent.

Both of them understood that even if Adam lifted the crisis of Paradise Lost, even if he saved tens of thousands of people again, even if he began to be regarded as an omnipotent existence by many people.But he couldn't let Zhang Xun retreat completely.

When Zhang Xun decided to break the glass and let him go without permission, he was already doomed to doom.The fifth chief died, and Commander Zhang Shuo's status was at stake. Zhang Xun's backstage and protective umbrella disappeared overnight, leaving only people who disliked him.

All he has is Adam.

Then Adam strode forward, opened his arms with metallic luster, and hugged Zhang Xun tightly.
