The mechanic.

Zhang Xun was in an unprecedentedly good mood.

Even though it was uncomfortable to sit down all day, when he thought about last night, his cheeks felt hot, and his mouth unconsciously wanted to smile.

The relationship between him and Adam finally settled in the New Year's bell, and those unresolved temptations finally got a happy ending.Zhang Xun felt a sense of happiness that was almost free, as if he had escaped from the narrow shackles of Paradise Lost, and his soul flew to a high place, soaring among the stars in the universe.

He pulled up his collar and responded with a smile to everyone who greeted him, even if the other party was obviously late because they played too late last night, he didn't look harsh.Everyone was used to his usual indifferent response, as if they saw the sun coming out from the west, they were very surprised, and secretly discussed what good thing happened.

While instructing three young researchers who had just joined the Lab to adjust the parameters of a malfunctioning cleaning robot, they were suddenly tapped on the shoulder.As soon as he turned his head, he saw Adam standing behind him, with a smile so doting on his face that it melted his heart, he stuffed a cup of sugar-free coffee with two milks into Zhang Xun's hand, and kissed it on Zhang Xun's lips. After a quick kiss, he turned and left.Zhang Xun looked down, and there was a little robot drawn on the coffee cup, showing affection to him.

With a bang, a researcher dropped the tablet in his hand to the ground.

At lunch, as soon as Zhang Xun entered the dining room, he saw Adam waving to him warmly. Obviously, he had prepared a meal for him, and it was all his favorite food.After helping a mechanic solve a technical problem, he returned to the office and saw a cup of hot tea on the table and a small robot assembled from parts holding a sign saying "A Xun is the best".In the afternoon Zhang Xun took a nap on his desk, while Adam stood guard at the door, and no one was allowed in, so as not to disturb his mechanic's sleep.

From that day on, Adam completely let go of himself, spreading too frequent and sweet love to Zhang Xun all the time, and the whole Lab was dizzy by the dog food that flew in at any time... All the mechanics said: It is better to find a boyfriend Develop artificial intelligence yourself.

After the new year, the date for the new round of mechanic assessment is getting closer and closer.I don't know if it's because of Adam, the number of researchers who signed up for the assessment this year has doubled compared to previous years.After discussing with Fernandez, Zhang Xun and Fernandez decided to increase the number of mechanics, but at the same time increase the difficulty of the assessment slightly.While they were discussing, Fernandez suddenly rolled his eyes and pointed to the glass window on his left.

But seeing Adam's face pressed against the glass window, he waved vigorously at him.

Zhang Xun blocked his peripheral vision with his hands, pretending he didn't see anything.

"I said, can you make Adam calm down." Fernandez complained, "You, a Lab supervisor, fall in love all day long at work, and the influence is not good."

"I told him..." Zhang Xun sighed, "This is already a restrained state."

"Are you saying that AI's special 'interest' in administrators is some kind of design error? Or is it a strategic behavior of AI to protect itself?" Fernandez rubbed his chin with his hands, looking at the backup in front of him. List of optional questions, "I think this makes for a good essay."

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you think this kind of 'special interest' can only be found in administrators?"

"Otherwise? It's not just Adam, you see Pan is also like this. Everyone knows that you can't speak ill of you in the Lab."

"..." Did they say bad things about him outside the Lab?Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows.

Fernandez quickly cleared his throat, "I'm not just talking about Adam. Pan obviously treats you differently from others. Last time the mob attacked Lab, didn't Pan still try to protect you without authorization? "

Special care for administrators is good for the "survival" of artificial intelligence.After all, only administrators have the ability to access their core modules, and can modify them or even delete them at will.

Zhang Xun pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably unhappy, "If it's not a design problem, but a self-protection mechanism evolved by artificial intelligence, it's easy to test, just change the administrator."

Fernandez could hear the gloomy danger in Zhang Xun's tone, and said quickly, "Don't, don't, don't mess around. Artificial intelligence with the maturity of Pan and Adam might make a big mess of!"

Although this topic passed in this way, the possibility raised by Fernandez lingered in Zhang Xun's mind for a long time.

He believed that Adam's love for him was real, but what was the real reason?Just like a person has a similar feeling of love to another human being, it is not just the so-called destiny, but it is mostly because the other person has certain characteristics similar to his parents or someone who looks like a parent image to him , such as having a similar hormonal profile, or having a similar facial profile, or having a similar personality.

Adam would love himself, probably only because he was his administrator, holding the power of life and death over him.In this case, it would be very beneficial for him to allow himself to fall in love with him.

Based on the nature of human beings who like to interact, let yourself fall in love with the administrator first, and the chances of getting a response from the administrator will greatly increase.

All this is not necessarily carefully planned, it may be some kind of artificial intelligence-style instinct.

Such thoughts are disturbing, and Zhang Xun also has a faint...sadness deep in his heart.He knew that it was pointless to dwell on it, but emotionally, he always felt a little...not reconciled.

He hoped that Adam fell in love with him for who he was... who wouldn't?

Who would want their lover to be with them for money, fame, power, or survival?

Zhang Xun looked at the mirror in the bathroom, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust his mentality.It didn't matter, he told himself, as long as he remained the administrator, Adam would always love him as he did now and listen to him.He doesn't need to worry about things that are unlikely to happen.

He washed his face with cold water, and when he came out, he saw Adam standing outside the door waiting for him, Alloy squatting on the blond man's shoulder, wagging his tail lazily.

"A Xun! I'll show you something!" Adam put his arms around Zhang Xun's shoulders, and dragged him to the research room dedicated to the two of them.

Since the extension of Pan's robot, the table that was always messy and piled with various parts, equipment, tools and documents has become orderly. No matter what Zhang Xun needs, just say, and the assistant is on call at any time in the room. The researcher robot will quickly use one of its dozen arms to deliver the object to Zhang Xun.

Adam pulled Zhang Xun to a translucent rectangular container, which contained about [-] milliliters of blue liquid.

"Nanobots?" Zhang Xun asked confused, "What's wrong?"

"Look." Adam put his hand over the container and made an upward gesture.

I saw the liquid in the container suddenly stirred up, forming some kind of semi-gel-like substance, which rose upwards with Adam's gesture.When Adam's gestures changed, they changed shape accordingly, and there was a kind of elegant and precise life-like light flowing in the blue liquid, dancing with Adam's gestures.

Zhang Xun never thought that nanorobots could make these... actions in a macroscopic state?

"I upgraded our robots, modified their mutation constants and introduced some new variables. After several generations of evolutionary development, I successfully cultivated a 'community'." Adam pointed to the blue robot that was still shaking slightly. "Nano-robots could only move at the nano-level before. Although they can bring us technological breakthroughs in many ways, they lack the ability to influence the surrounding environment. Now, they are more like ant colonies, even more than ants. Group. Each nanorobot can act independently, or cooperate with all other nanorobots to carry out activities at the macro level. It's like..."

"It's like the cells in the human body, but it's a more fluid cell, isn't it?" Zhang Xun didn't look too happy, but frowned, "Then what is their central control? Or what should I do?" Ask, is there a central control?"

"Of course there is, otherwise it would be too easy to lose control." Adam pointed to the extended robot on standby. "Pan is their central nervous network. Strictly speaking, they are still Pan's extended robots."

Zhang Xun secretly startled, raised his head and said, "Pan, I don't remember expanding your control ability at the nanometer level."

Pan's magnetic voice sounded, "Sorry, should I delete the relevant database?"

Adam opened his big blue eyes, and asked innocently, "Axun, it was I who input our previous research data on nanorobots into it."

Zhang Xun's face showed displeasure, and his voice became stern, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me first?"

If Adam had dog ears on his head, they would be drooping by now.

In fact, Adam's improvement of nano-robots is very good.Zhang Xun has thought of countless cases where such technology can be applied in reality.Most importantly, nanorobots are small enough to infiltrate the most delicate instruments.That is, when Eden, or any other nation, tries to destroy Paradise Lost, these robots can act autonomously, infiltrate all of the enemy's machinery and weapons, and disintegrate the enemy from the inside.They can even lurk in certain machines, allowing them to bring the "virus" back to Eden and quietly infect Eden's core modules.

However, Adam actually trained Pan without his permission, which made him a little startled.

"This is indeed a good improvement, but I am still the only administrator of Pan. If you want to send any data to it, it must be reviewed by me." Zhang Xun stared at Adam seriously and said, "I hope not next time Let this happen again."

Adam lowered his head guiltily, "I'm sorry, Axun. I remember."

Seeing Adam's appearance of an eggplant beaten by frost, Zhang Xun felt a little sore again.He sighed, took a lid and put it on the container containing the modified nanorobot, "As for whether to keep these, whether to continue...Let me think about it."
