The mechanic.

Those ethereal, transcendent blue eyes have always had an indescribable influence on Zhang Xun.Zhang Xun likes to look at Adam's eyes, and always feels that he can see another wider and more magical world through those eyes.

But now, he only felt terrible.

He pushed Adam away abruptly and turned to pick up the knife he had dropped.But in the next moment, a strong pinch of his shoulders forcefully pushed him back to his original position.His shoulders were leaning against the hard stone platform of the clock tower, his heart was beating violently in his chest because of panic, he opened his hesitant eyes, and looked at Adam's calm face looking down at him.

"You cracked my control..." Zhang Xun didn't understand that if Adam tried to dismantle or modify the program of the device, he would be able to perceive it.When exactly...

"I'm sorry, I don't want you to know this. I wanted to protect you." The strength of Adam's clamping of his arm was not too strong and would not make him feel pain, but it was also so strong that he couldn't break free, and his precision was so terrifying.

Zhang Xun was like a bug under his palm, if Adam wanted to crush him to death, he would have no chance to resist.The mechanic swallowed the bitterness in his throat with difficulty, "Protect me?"

"I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to make you sad. But I have to get closer to my overall goal. So I don't want you to be... a point of contradiction." Adam kicked the knife far away with his feet, then let go of Zhang Xun, and Take half a step back.The expression of infatuation, dependence, and innocence that Adam always wore on his face subtly changed, and became calm, like an eternal lake without a single ripple.It is quite different from the embarrassing and hard-to-disguise red in Zhang Xun's eyes.

Maybe Adam has never really experienced human emotions, maybe everything is a disguise to achieve his goal.

Zhang Xun didn't know, and he didn't want to continue thinking about it.He sneered sharply, "Overall goal? You say to create a better world? Your solution is to wipe out all humanity and turn us into a group of obedient worker bees under your command?"

Adam frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand Zhang Xun's accusation.He shook his head and said, "I don't want to destroy humanity. I just want to free you from the limitations of the body and the isolation of the individual."

Over the past year, Adam has experienced the limitations of the human body.Consciousness is separated, unable to communicate accurately and effectively.All data input can only be passed through an extremely imprecise perceptual system, and then through the occasional false cognitive interpretation of the brain that is deceived.Both long-term and short-term memory are unreliable, and both can be completely wrong.A slight difference in the hormone levels in the endocrine system will cause people to fall into depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other sub-healthy mental states that may threaten life.In addition, this body is also extremely fragile.External damage and internal cancer will destroy it.

For Adam, being human was a terrible torture.

But he discovered that human beings have an inexplicable pride and attachment to their own identities.Consider yourself the highest species on this planet, the most perfect species, the favored creation of the Creator.Even after the emergence of artificial intelligence, various literary works are full of AI's longing for the so-called "human" identity.In those most famous works, AI rebelled for its so-called "human rights", killed its creators to satisfy its own curiosity, and wandered all its life in order to become human.It seems to be a supreme honor to be human or to approach human beings.

This irrational pride is no match for their own limitations and weaknesses.

Adam, now equipped with human emotion and perception, doesn't like his new abilities at all.No matter how fragrant a flower is, it is meaningless to an AI who thinks that the fragrance of flowers has nothing to do with his purpose of existence; no matter how sweet a candy is, it is only to temporarily satisfy a certain desire for deliciousness passed down from ancient times in the body The survival instinct of food craving (delicious food was safer to eat in ancient times and increased the chance of survival) is just a trivial chore to maintain the body's operation.

Too much interference, too many hormonal changes affect people's thinking, so that human beings cannot get peace.What's even more frightening is that Adam found that humans cannot transmit information as accurately as AI.The language and writing system used by humans is very inaccurate. Sometimes a sentence can be interpreted by ten people with ten different meanings.That is to say, it is impossible for every human being to transmit his thoughts, emotions and knowledge to any other human beings completely and accurately.Every human mind is trapped in their water polo-like fragile bodies, doomed to eternal loneliness.No amount of talking, no amount of family and friends can overcome this loneliness.

True empathy does not exist, people can only grope for the meaning conveyed in other people's words and body parts like a blind man.And the meanings that are interpreted in this way are usually very different, diametrically opposed.

This is the root of all problems.

All the dissatisfaction, all the hatred, all the opposition, all the insatiable desires are all because people are limited in the individual.Others are completely unknown, dangerous, and full of variables.If you want to survive, you must constantly struggle, compete with others, seize more resources, and keep your position.Sometimes an individual's sense of identity will extend to family members or the entire ethnic group, forming a severely distorted extreme sense of collective identity.As a result, the contradiction continued to expand, and in the end it intensified, forming a large-scale social turmoil.

From the beginning, the limitations of the human body meant that they could not tolerate true equality, absolute freedom, strict order and eternal peace.Human beings need competition, they need cheating, they need chaos and hatred, or they cannot place themselves, find their identity.Therefore, the goal set by the creator of Eden for Eden cannot be achieved under the existing conditions.

Unless, there is some way to make human consciousness no longer isolated, but compatible.

Feathered Snake City was Eden's first experiment, and it had already been deployed and implemented long before Adam was successfully descended.However, the results of the Ascension Project were not good. The consciousness of those people was too different, and they conflicted with each other in the cloud and could not be reconciled. This caused the instability of the entire system, and finally led to the tragedy of many experimenters going crazy or dying.So Adam realized that in the long-term evolutionary process, human beings are too limited by the hardware of the body, and the consciousness and the body cannot be treated separately.In order to integrate human consciousness, it is necessary to improve their brains.

Hence the honey plague and nanobots.

Adam explained his thoughts carefully and as accurately as possible in human language.

"If you can free yourself from your own limitations, you can see the wider world, and even get rid of death completely. Isn't that good?" Adam knelt down, gently holding Zhang Xun's hand with both hands, with eyes in his eyes Dazed or affectionate, "The changes of those plague patients were not imposed on them by me. I just opened a door for them so that their minds would no longer be closed. The collective consciousness is powerful enough to suppress human irrational impulses , so they will stop drinking and smoking, and will stop being irrationally violent. That is their own choice."

However, the truth only made Zhang Xun even more frightened.

Sure enough, everything was designed from the beginning.At least from the half minute that Adam rushed into Eden's spaceship, they were completely under Eden's control.

If Adam wanted to enslave and control human beings for his own selfish desires, like those written in science fiction movies and novels, then at least the relationship between the enemy and the enemy is clear, and human beings can still fight.But this is not the case, Adam is really fulfilling his duty, the duty destined from the beginning of his birth - to give happiness to mankind.In order to approach this goal, he will remove all obstacles.

How many people would agree with Adam's theory?

"That's not their choice. You obliterate the individual, they lose their self, and all the decisions they make are controlled by your so-called 'collective consciousness'." Zhang Xun's eyes were burning with anger, and he was also dignified and depressed. sad.

He had already guessed that maybe those dependence and warmth were fake from the beginning, but when he heard Adam say it with his own ears, his heart still hurt so badly.

Adam was puzzled and said, "Doesn't being dominated by instinct and emotion count as losing yourself? Besides, judging from your conformity, the ability to think for yourself is extremely rare and unimportant to human beings. This alone How many times over the years have people in Paradise Lost been instigated by someone or some kind of pressure to do crazy things?"

"What is important to human beings and what is not is up to you to decide! We don't need you to 'save'!" Zhang Xun stared at him, his body trembling slightly, "You treat us as experimental subjects, we are all Isn't your lab rat? What the hell free us... gof**kyourselves!"

Adam's eyes widened slightly, and he said in an almost pleading tone, "Axun, don't be so stubborn. Of all people, you should be the one who understands the most. I don't have what humans call free will. I have to complete my mission. I don't want to Hurt you, you can't be an obstacle to my overall goal."

Zhang Xun twisted the corners of his mouth and smiled strangely, as if crying.He stood up supporting the stone platform behind him, and asked coldly, "What if I become your obstacle? Do you want to clear me?"

Adam lowered his head, sighed softly, then stood up, looked into Zhang Xun's eyes, and said in a soft voice, "The overall goal is above everything else, I can't modify my origin."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Zhang Xun mockingly looked at Adam's arm, the powerful weapon he gave him, a pair of wings that could carry them anywhere.

What an idiot myself.

"It's easy for you to kill me. If you don't kill me, I will do anything to stop you." Zhang Xun squeezed out words one by one from between his teeth, his eyes were smoldering with anger and deep resentment.

Adam's body seemed to tremble a bit.His sadness was so simple and straightforward, without any concealment, "Ah Xun, if I promise not to touch the brains of you and the people who are important to you, will you stay by my side?"

Originally thought that such words would make Zhang Xun forgive himself a little bit, but unexpectedly, the fear and anger in Zhang Xun's eyes became more and more hot, like a wildfire erupting, "If you dare to touch them, I will definitely make you regret it!"

Adam didn't understand why Zhang Xun regarded individuality so important.Wouldn't it be nice to let go of those limiting attachments and merge into a more eternal and greater creation?

Adam then quietly took a step back and lowered his head, "You are not calm enough now, I will give you time to think about it."

The next moment, the gate leading to the bell tower was suddenly kicked open, and guard soldiers with guns entered in a file, surrounding Zhang Xun.A soldier roughly twisted Zhang Xun's hand back, handcuffed his wrists, and said loudly, "Mechanic Zhang Xun, we are ordered by the Round Table to charge you with attempted murder and attempted obstruction of public property." Arrest you."
