The mechanic.

James reached out to knock on the door of the wooden house where Zhang Xun lived, but before he really knocked, the door suddenly opened by itself.Enoch stood at the door, raised his finger to his lips with a serious face and hissed.

"Zhang Xun just fell asleep an hour ago. He worked all night last night."

James was a little displeased with the robot's attitude towards him, but since Axun was sleeping, he didn't want to make too much unnecessary noise.A Xun has not been able to rest for the past few days, so he must be exhausted.

"How's he doing?" James asked.

"Excessive fatigue and malnutrition. But after my preliminary scan, there are no life-threatening physical symptoms." Enoch reported in a dutiful voice, "enough sleep and a high-protein and low-sugar breakfast or lunch It should improve his physical condition a lot."

James nodded, feeling a little relieved.But suddenly the robot asked again, "How long are we going to stay here?"

James does not have as many opportunities to interact with robots as Zhang Xun. Even if he does, they are mostly hostile, and he is not sure what attitude to use when communicating with robots, how much information can be given, and how much should be concealed.After hesitating for a moment, he still told Enoch, "The Nameless One is willing to escort us there, and we will wait for the person they sent to inquire about Feathered Serpent City to return."

"Do you believe in these nameless people?" the robot asked in a flat tone.

James was slightly surprised.This robot doesn't talk much, especially in front of him and Diego, it almost just executes orders, and rarely initiates conversations.Why did you suddenly become so active?

He has always felt that this robot seems to have some special preference for A Xun, but he is not sure whether this is normal in AI.

Axun mentioned that AI will treat its administrators specially.But Axun is not the administrator of this robot.

"Why do you ask that?" James narrowed his eyes.

"One of my responsibilities is to keep you safe." Enoch continued to reply in a soothing voice, "According to my observations of you these days, you are opponents of Eden, and you seem to be very afraid of being found by Eden There are not many human individuals who can be noticed by Eden, which gives you a certain exchange value."

"...you mean Eden will 'bribe' these Nameless Ones?"

"Their main sources of income in the past included robbing transport aircraft, using hacking techniques to steal electronic currency, smuggling and selling prohibited items, etc. According to this information, their credibility is not high."

James was silent for a moment, and finally frowned, "Just do your job well, and don't worry about the rest."

But Enoch's words do have some truth.Not long ago, they were prisoners of the Nameless. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of the Edenists, they would probably still be under house arrest, and they might even have been chopped into pieces because of the person who killed them.

But somehow he suddenly remembered red hair burning in the sun, and dark blue arrogant eyes.

Zhang Xun slowly woke up from his deep sleep, and smelled the aroma of coffee and milk in the air.A faint sense of happiness came over him, and he called out in a daze, "Adam..."

"Sorry, I'm not Adam."

Zhang Xun suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Enoch's magnified face occupying his field of vision. He almost jumped up from the bed in fright, and finally bumped his head against the hard head of the robot, making a crisp bang.

Enuo was fine, but Zhang Xun sat up depressed, covering his forehead with his hand.

Enoch didn't leave right away, he was still lying on the side of the bed looking up at Zhang Xun, "Who is Adam?"

Zhang Xun glanced at it, thinking that the robot's curiosity seems to be getting stronger and stronger?Is the parameter itself changed when the data is continuously collected and updated?

Seeing that Zhang Xun didn't answer, Enuo continued to ask, "Is that the boyfriend you almost killed?"

Zhang Xun choked on his own saliva and coughed awkwardly for a long time.Enoch was still beside him, patting him on the back thoughtfully.Zhang Xun managed to calm down, and said in a strange voice, "Yes..."

Enoch rolled his eyes and continued, "If you want, I can imitate your boyfriend. My bones and skin thickness can be adjusted to look like your boyfriend."

Zhang Xun almost started to feel a headache, why did this service robot stare at him and serve him alone?

"There is no need for this..." Zhang Xun said with a bit of sadness in his helplessness, "We broke up."

"Oh..." Enoch showed that almost disappointed expression again.

The longer he spends with Zhang Xun, the more humane Enoch's character becomes.Perhaps these behaviors similar to acting like a baby are caused by adjusting the parameter changes after continuously collecting data about Zhang Xun's preferences.

Just as he was about to speak, Enoch suddenly stood up and brought over a cup of hot coffee with milk from the table behind him as if by magic.The aroma of coffee beans was exactly the smell that woke him up from sleep just now.Enoch offered Zhang Xun the coffee with a gentle gesture like a wife.

Zhang Xun took it nonchalantly, and looked at Enuo in confusion, "Isn't your distance sensor broken?" How did you get the coffee without breaking the cup?

"I calculated the error value. Although there are occasional conversion errors that affect the accuracy of actions, some daily service behaviors are no longer affected." Enoch's tone was a little proud.

Zhang Xun couldn't help but marvel at the learning speed of artificial intelligence.No wonder some people would want to modify their brains to integrate themselves with machines... He lowered his head and took a sip of the hot and mild coffee.

It was a feeling of rebirth, he let out a satisfied sigh.

And Enoch immediately brought over a plate of brunch filled with coarse bread and dried fruit, and put it on the bed like a treasure.Zhang Xun was really hungry, so he picked up a piece of dried apple and put it in his mouth.He didn't expect such a rare thing like dried fruit to be found in such a small town composed of scavengers.

"Enoch, when Lucille gave you an order, how many people did he serve?" Zhang Xun chewed and looked at the handsome face of the service robot.

"Three. You, Diego, James."

"Why do you take special care of me?" Zhang Xun looked curiously at the robot's artificial iris with blue metallic luster, "I am neither your creator nor your administrator."

"But you are the only one among the three who has the ability to modify my program." Enoch raised his head without blinking his eyes, "And, I like you."

Zhang Xun froze for a moment, then chuckled a few times, "You don't know what liking is. You don't have a human body, so it's impossible to produce pheromones and other sex hormones."

"If you're not a human being, can't you like it?" Enoch frowned slightly as if he was a little confused.

Zhang Xun was questioned.What is the definition of liking?Are only humans qualified to like it?

Not just liking, any emotion, any emotion and virtue that has been cared about, defined, and praised by human beings, can only human beings possess it?Doesn't it count if it doesn't fit those definitions, even if there's a similarity?

He thought for a moment and replied, "Unless likes help you accomplish your goals, these emotions are meaningless to you. Likes you think are just programmed to make your goals more satisfying. Serve."

Enoch continued to say, "Man's various behavioral patterns and thinking patterns, including instinctive reactions and hormone changes in the body, are all abilities derived from human DNA in the process of striving to continue its continuous mutation and evolution, but you do not They will not deny their authenticity because of their 'practicability'. In the process of accomplishing the goal, AI will also evolve and derive different abilities, and the weight of various parameters will change irreversibly. Why is it just because we Is it AI that has a goal to accomplish, so how about denying the authenticity of these changes?"

Zhang Xun chuckled a few times, almost thinking that Enoch was a bit cute, "Are you asking for 'mechanical rights'? I heard that quite a few people in the ordinary world are now protesting the 'slavery' of AI by humans and demanding equal human rights for you. "

"No, I don't need human rights. We're not human beings, and freedom doesn't mean anything to us. I just hope you believe me when I say I like you."

Enoch stared at Zhang Xun earnestly, his eyes did not know why, like a light blue electric current rushing into Zhang Xun's blood.For a split second he almost wanted to put those eyes on Adam's.

"Remember, trust me absolutely."

That was what Adam had said to him.

He thought he had done it, but what happened?

Adam's liking for him is probably a by-product derived from the sub-goal of achieving the overall goal and from practicality.Should he accept such authenticity?

Subtle pain spread from the heart.Zhang Xun suddenly lost all his appetite and turned his eyes away, trying to hide his sudden emotion.

Enoch's expression immediately returned to what it was before, "Sorry, I seem to have made you feel bad."

"No, you just remind me of someone." Zhang Xun took a deep breath to suppress the turbulent emotions.

"You mean Adam?"

"Yes."

"You seem to care about him?"

Zhang Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled a little ugly, "I'm afraid I care too much, beyond the limit of what I should care about."

"Then why did you kill him?" Enoch seemed to have a hint of sadness in his calm and gentle tone, "Why did you leave him?"

"Because I chose to believe him, but he lied to me." Zhang Xun swallowed his saliva, his voice hoarse, "Because there are always more important things besides feelings."

It is impossible for Adam to give up the overall goal for him. He is just a small episode, an unexpected situation that needs to be controlled.

And it's impossible for him to turn a blind eye to Adam's plan, even if Adam doesn't play tricks on his mind.

They will eventually become enemies.

Enoch lowered his eyes and sighed.He silently put a paper crane folded from a napkin on Zhang Xun's dinner plate, and said softly, "I hope your wish will come true."

Zhang Xun realized that the robot still remembered the wish he had said.

A thousand paper cranes, in exchange for a chance to meet again.

But at this moment, shouts came from outside the door, and there were faint shouts and curses.Zhang Xun looked anxiously at the door.Before he could issue an order, Enoch had already pushed open the door and went out to investigate the situation, and came back a while later to report, "They captured three Edenian prisoners."

Edenism?

Zhang Xun put down his cup, opened the door and walked out immediately.Enoch followed step by step, like a lingering shadow behind Zhang Xun.

Crowds in the town swarmed out from various houses and gathered towards the tavern where the leader Anya was.Three Edenists in full silver uniforms were tied up and forced to kneel in front of Anya.

Todd stood behind Anya with his arms folded, with anger and hatred shining in his eyes.

James and Diego were also present, and Zhang Xun leaned over to them and whispered, "How did you catch it?"

"It seems that the scavengers who came back from the border with some mechanical parts met the Eden team that retreated yesterday, and they captured three of them." Diego said quietly, with an expression of watching the show.

The author has something to say: This week things are rushing together and the update has slowed down. I will restore the update speed as soon as possible...
