my old robot

"I want to talk to my family." Xiao Chenmo said.

"No." The old man refused without even raising his head.

Xiao Chenmo's hand under the table clenched into a fist, clenched it for a while and then loosened it.

When the breakfast was served, Xiao Chenmo finally saw the nanny robot, and he stared at the robot placing the food on the table one by one.

"What? Have you seen it?" Old Man Ke said.

"No." Xiao Chenmo quickly denied.

"As I said, you have a face that can't lie. Your expression tells me that you've seen it."

"Well, I did see it. It's in the nursing home in Xiaotangshan." Xiao Chenmo said.

"The time when Xiaotangshan Chu Nantian died? That machine was produced in the same batch as it, not this one."

Old man Ke chewed the food in his mouth slowly, and the words he said were like a landmine exploding.Xiao Chenmo was sure that Chu Nantian's death had not been reported by the media until now, but the person in front of him knew it.

Xiao Chenmo's hands under the table began to tremble slightly.

"Are you wondering if I sent a robot to kill Chu Nantian?" He looked into Xiao Chenmo's eyes and said, "No, I didn't send the robot."

Xiao Chenmo's hanging heart fell.

"However, I modified the law of the robot. I also provided the monitoring shield for the robot entering and leaving the nursing home."

Messer just followed old man Ke, and didn't even leave when he was free.Chu Wei's robot was also repaired by this old man, and he heard him say that he had invaded the national database.There was also an old man who easily cracked the password of the national database in front of him.

Xiao Chenmo guessed that Messer's laws were modified by old man Ke. His mother once told him that there is no one in China who can modify the laws of robot source code without any trace, and this person is very likely to be the old man in front of him. .He has already accepted the fact that the old man is his relative in his heart, he just doesn't want to believe it, and he doesn't want to believe that this person is related to the robot injury incident during this period.

"Why? Who wants Chu Nantian's life?" Xiao Chenmo's voice was so weak that it almost disappeared into the air.

"Naturally, I want him to disappear forever with a secret. I can't tell you who it is. Knowing too much won't do you any good. You are an unexpected surprise in the rest of my limited life. I don't want you to be involved in disputes. Etc Take you back to see your father, so you can go home." The old man looked through Xiao Chenmo's cloudy eyes at the turbulent sea outside the window, "Eat, after eating, I will teach you to modify the robot's self-identification program."

Xiao Chenmo couldn't eat, but he forced himself to eat a little.

After the meal, Old Man Ke found a blue mechanical pen in the drawer of his dilapidated workbench. This mechanical pen looked old, and it was kept in a black velvet box. The white snowflake is obviously a pen for women.

"This is your aunt's." He handed the pen to Xiao Chenmo.

Xiao Chenmo had the habit of carrying a mechanical pen with him, but he had already thrown it away when he was stopped by Messer on the light rail.This pen is smaller than what he is used to, and it is a little uncomfortable to hold in his hand.

"A good mechanic should not only stick to the mechanical pen in his hand, even an ordinary screwdriver, you have to learn to use it freely." He put down the crutch in his hand and stood in front of the mechanical decomposition table, "Messer, come here .”

Messer lay down on the decomposition table.Xiao Chenmo was terrified, is this going to use Messeyer as an experiment?

"You come to open its head and take out the memory chip."

Xiao Chenmo's hands trembled a little, he still had a shadow in his heart towards Messeyer, and now he was going to open its head with its eyes open, which really tested his courage.

"I'll shut down its consciousness first." Xiao Chenmo said.

"No need." Old man Ke stopped him, "Just operate like this, this will train you to complete it more quickly and accurately."

Xiao Chenmo stopped asking the old man, and took the lead in turning off Messer's pain sensor.

Old man Ke frowned slightly, it is not a good thing to feel pity for a machine.

Messer stared at Xiao Chenmo with a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, watching him point the blue pen at his head, and then it heard a squeak, which was the sound of the mechanical pen breaking through the metal skull.He seemed to hesitate to take out the memory chip directly, and it heard him ask Old Man Ke, "Is this okay? It won't cause any damage to its memory, right?"

It's ridiculous. The robot's memory can be copied in the core memory area, which is the most unchangeable thing recorded in the original memory code. It is a recording chip that traces all the events that a machine has experienced.Did he think that just modifying the outermost memory chip would damage the robot's memory?

"What if some memory has not been copied to the core memory area? If I pull it out now, its memory will be lost."

It turns out that he is not ignorant, he is really an indecisive human being.It will not have memories that need to be engraved into the core memory area, and it will not leave itself with weaknesses that can be interpreted.

"They are just machines. Even if old memories are lost, new memories will be filled. They are not human beings who will forget a lot of things over time, and only sift through precious memories. They will never forget things, even if you don't clean them up. Their memories, they also need to regularly clean up some useless memories by themselves."

"I know." Xiao Chenmo said, "Messer, have you re-enacted your important memories?"

"Yes."

Xiao Chenmo was relieved, he carefully pulled out Messer's memory chip.

"Connect the memory chip to a computer, and now you find its self-identifying block."

The memory blocks of advanced robots are as many as tens of millions. To find a small self-identified block in these huge memory areas is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

"This speed is too slow, and you can't find it after three days and three nights. You first classify its memory areas, rewrite a memory palace that is convenient for you, and store different memories in different rooms. I'll look it up...idiot..." Then there was the sound of the old man tapping his cane and poking the floor, "Don't you even know how to program the memory palace? What did you learn in college?"

Xiao Chenmo stammered, "Then, that course is too difficult, and I didn't study very well."

"What?" The old man poked the floor with his crutches again in a panic, "As a descendant of a mechanical family, you don't even have such simple knowledge... Cough cough cough..."

"Is it okay to use its original memory palace directly? I also do this when I usually practice, but it is more troublesome to find."

"That's because the memory area of ​​the machine that your school gave you to practice has a small storage capacity. For an advanced intelligent robot like Messer, when will you use its original memory palace? Let alone Messer's memory chip I made After modification, its memory area has hundreds of millions, and each memory area is divided into different memory blocks, how can such a huge number be used in such a stupid way?"

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Chenmo looked at a loss, using Messer to do the experiment was too high-end, and such an advanced version of the robot would never be used in the exam.Just imagine how many students there are in a promotion exam?Everyone uses this advanced version, and the resources in the examination room cannot be consumed.He just pretended that he would never have a machine of too high a level used to operate this point for the students during the exam. During this time, he practiced desperately how to modify the self-identification of the robot, and he did not do well in the course of programming the memory palace. .

"Let me demonstrate it again, you have a good look."

"Oh." Xiao Chenmo hurriedly gave up his seat to the old man.

Old man Ke was typing the programming program with his ten fingers flying on the keyboard, Xiao Chenmo was dazzled by it.

"Do you remember?" the old man turned to ask him.

"Ah? No." It was too fast, Xiao Chenmo couldn't remember that much at all.

The veins on Old Man Ke's forehead burst out. He had never taught such a stupid student in his whole life.

He forgot that the students who could follow him in the past were at least at the doctoral level.

"I'll do it again, you have to watch it carefully."

"Then you slow down." Xiao Chenmo hurriedly made a request.

Old man Ke set the slowest operating speed in his life and repeated it from beginning to end, "Do you understand?"

"Understood." Xiao Chenmo nodded, he had already learned this course in the college, but he didn't understand some things at that time, now the old man has operated it in the simplest way, how could he not understand it.

However, when it came to actual operation, he still made mistakes.

"Idiot, there is a mistake in this step." Old man Ke's crutch almost missed Xiao Chenmo's head.

At the end of Xiao Chen's trembling, he deleted and reedited, so it took more time to go back and forth.Old man Ke looked at the clock on the communicator on his wrist and shook his head.Forget it, probably his talent is not mechanical.

"Hai Lan doesn't have mechanical talent either." The old man said to himself.

Messer was lying on the decomposition table, his eyes were focused on Xiao Chenmo who was scrambling in front of the computer.This man was not only a fool, but a soft-hearted and indecisive fool.It made him even more certain that he wanted to keep him in his collection. How could such a lovely person be let go?

The mechanical room is close to the coast of a small city, and Xiao Chenmo is just about finished building a memory palace.He submitted his answer sheet to old man Ke, and the old man stroked his hair and praised, "Well, not bad." Then he deleted what Xiao Chenmo had worked so hard all morning, "Practice more, the memory palace you made up Too small to fit all the memory in the Messer chip, it would have to be five times larger."

What?Five times bigger?This one took him a whole morning, and it would take him several days to make it five times larger.Not to mention that he hasn't started to classify Messer's memory blocks at all, let alone put those different memory blocks into different memory palaces after the division.So how long will it take him to finish?Xiao Chen Mo wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Don't worry. I'm home, I'll take you home to have a look." Old man Ke began to walk out with a cane.

Xiao Chenmo hurriedly stuffed Messer's memory chip back, and the action was a little hasty, Messer grabbed his hand, "Little cutie, keep your hands steady."

"...I'm done stuffing." Xiao Chenmo said.

"Ah."

"Can you let go of my hand? I need your scalp stitched up."

Messeyer's mechanical hand was still pinching Xiao Chenmo's hand to savor it, "No hurry, you don't need to sew up, you should keep up with Mr. Ke."

Only then did Xiao Chenmo notice that old man Ke had already walked a long way out of the mechanical room, he shook off the hand held by Messeyer and walked out quickly.

The mechanical room stopped at the foot of a low mountain, and old man Ke hunched over and climbed up the mountain step by step.There was a lonely grave halfway up the mountain. He stopped in front of the grave and leaned on a cane, staring blankly at the flowers in front of the grave.

At the end of Xiao Chen's eyes, he saw a few words engraved on the stele, this is Ke Hailan's resting place.

"Hailan likes this sea the most. When he was young, he and Tianruo often sneaked here to play." Old man Ke turned his eyes to the beach far below the mountain, "That beach recorded the happiest time of our family. We lived in this small seaside town for a long time, and every day we rose and went to sunset, and I had a lot of time to spend with my family. After that, it never happened again.”

There were infinitely sad memories of the past in the old man's expression, this sadness made Xiao Chenmo unable to bear to look at it.

"Go ahead. Talk to your father, he'll be glad to see you too."

Xiao Chenmo didn't know what to say to a tombstone, he stood in front of Ke Hailan's grave and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Your temperament is really different from Hailan, you can say anything casually."

Xiao Chenmo could only rack his brains to squeeze out words, "Hi, hello. My name is Xiao Chenmo, that..."

After I called Xiao Chenmo, he didn't know what to say again.

"He is your child." Old Man Ke finished the sentence for him.

The sky was gloomy as if it was going to rain heavily, the sea breeze was blowing, and Xiao Chenmo's hair was blown into a mess of grass.In the state of a cold and stuffy nose, the snot flowed even more. He rubbed the snot with his hands indiscriminately, and wrapped his clothes tightly.Old man Ke's gray hair stood up in the wind, like a broken broom.

After standing for a long time, old man Ke finally moved his body, "Go back, it's cold here."

Xiao Chenmo had already squatted on the ground coldly, and stood up quickly when he heard what he said.

"Take this flower and throw it into the sea." Old Man Ke said.

Xiao Chenmo picked up the bouquet of flowers on the ground, the flower branches trembled in fear in the cold wind, there were still a drop or two of dewdrops on the flowers, obviously, the person who gave the flowers had just left not long ago.

It is really a pity to throw away such a beautiful flower, but it is destined to drift with the tide, Xiao Chenmo flicked his arm, and the flower fell into the sea water.

Back in the mechanical room, Xiao Chenmo accidentally saw Messer standing there intact, and he looked at Messer's long black hair in surprise.Did this guy sew up his own scalp?

Messer blinked at him.

Xiao Chen turned his face away expressionlessly like a robot.Whether you sewed it up yourself is none of my business.

The mechanical room started rumbling again, heading towards the direction of the town.
