The Mechanic

Is there any evidence for what you said? Anya interrupted suddenly.

Zhang Xun nodded, I have all the materials and designs of the nano-robots, and I can copy the nano-robots made by Adam. If those robots are injected into the bodies of experimental mice, abnormal behaviors will soon be observed.

We don't have the equipment here to make robots for you! Todd couldn't believe that his sister was actually thinking of helping these three lunatics trying to resist God. As long as Eden discovers such an action, Rhino Horn Town will be razed to the ground immediately. They don't have any defense system like Paradise Lost.

Zhang Xun said, Not here, but Feather Snake City has them. But if we go to Feather Snake City alone, we will soon become their puppets.

So you want us to be your thugs. Anya's eyes were like icy arrows, as if she wanted to penetrate Zhang Xun's skin and see his thoughts.

Zhang Xun said, I know this is of no benefit to you. We can understand if you refuse. But... If Eden succeeds, Rhino Horn Town will be disintegrated sooner or later. When most people in the world are affected The influence of the collective consciousness makes it impossible to endure those of us heretic beings who refuse to assimilate into them.

How do you know they won't tolerate us?

Because human beings never like to tolerate minorities who are different from them, and when a person is in a group, his thoughts are extremely easy to go to extremes. Look at the hatred and wars caused by different religions, races, and doctrines in history. and the Holocaust? We can do things like this when we're all individuals, and if the barrier of the body is gone, there's just a big, heavy consciousness left. Do you think we can really be like Are they as sane and neutral as Adam and Eden imagined?

There was silence.

Zhang Xun further said, We are not AI. The collective consciousness of human beings will go to extremes very quickly. Unless all people are integrated into the collective consciousness at once, otherwise at some point in the middle, when enough people become collective consciousness part of it, and those who remain become heretics, they will become enemies.

Anya glanced at the few of them, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said in a deep voice, You guys go out first.

Zhang Xun wanted to say something more, but James suddenly touched his arm lightly and said in a low voice, There is no rush. Give them time to think about it.

Zhang Xun understood how strange what he said was to the red-haired siblings. It is almost impossible to get them to accept what they say without direct evidence. But time is running out now, the longer it drags on, the more people in Paradise Lost will be affected. At this time, Adam may have already begun to deploy the preparations for the next stage.

He wasn't sure when Adam and Eden would make the decision to eliminate him. He doubted that he could live until now, just because the part of Adam that was influenced by human nature still had some nostalgia for him.

Let him go so he doesn't interfere with Adam's plans in Paradise Lost. But if he starts causing problems in the outside world, will Adam put up with him?

After coming out of the bar, they found that there were people stalking near the hut where they temporarily lived.

The three of them remained calm and pretended not to know. Zhang Xun returned to his room and found that the parts he needed but didn't have had been delivered. He turned his head and glanced at Enoch who was still quietly following him, and said, Sit down, I'll help you replace the distance sensor and temperature sensor.

Enoch sat obediently on the chair and took off his shirt. Standing behind him, Zhang Xun watched as the skin on his back spread out to both sides like butterfly wings, revealing the complex internal structure and the continuously flowing coolant ducts. Zhang Xun picked up the electric screwdriver, replaced it with the most accurate screw head, and began to remove the damaged parts.

I removed your signal transceiver. Zhang Xun said absent-mindedly, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Enoch sat motionless and did not make a sound for a long time.

Zhang Xun was not used to the sudden quietness that had already begun to get used to this increasingly curious robot asking questions one after another. I just heard so many stories about the king of their artificial intelligence, why is there no problem now?

What are you thinking? Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch was silent for a while before he said, You never mentioned that your lover is Eden.

...It's not Eden, it's Adam. Zhang Xun thought of the time he met the real Eden, and the other party even tried to use Adam's voice to control him, inexplicably felt a little funny, Adam has been separated from Eden.

So, you gave a SAI human body and instincts. Then it fell in love with you?

Zhang Xun paused his hand and frowned.

Why did the words become so... strange...

I didn't make it fall in love with me. But you have a special dependence complex on the administrator that may happen at any time. If his mechanical form was not mine but someone else, maybe...

You turned it into a human, but you still refuse to believe that he has human feelings. Enoch's voice was calm and soft, too standard, but it seemed cold, And you still plan to get rid of him.
