The Mechanic

Zhang Xun quickly turned his eyes away, and after a while, he couldn't help but look up again. His throat suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he hurriedly picked up the water glass and took a few sips of water.

The protest crowd has been dispersed by the guard.

Pan's sudden voice startled Zhang Xun, choked water into his nose, and coughed for a long time while lying on the table in embarrassment.

Pan asked with concern, Zhang Xun, do you need support?

Pan! How many times have I told you not to speak like this suddenly!

Sorry. Pan replied gently.

No, you won't be sorry... Zhang Xun muttered, these artificial intelligences are so good at acting...

But when I think that their acting skills are also trained by themselves, I feel that I really have no position to complain. He relented and said, If anyone comes back to work, let them in.

Zhang Xun, if there are troublemakers who come back after the guards leave, can I activate the No. 2 expulsion system?

Zhang Xun sighed, looked up at the camera in mid-air, You seem to want to activate the No. 2 expulsion system?

When the protesters first arrived, Pan asked him almost every day if he wanted to activate the No. 2 expulsion system... Among all the expulsion systems, the No. The most exciting and uncomfortable for human beings. Some people who have heard that noise can develop earworms, screaming in their head for days, can't stop even in sleep.

No wonder James and Fernandez often complained to him that Pan was too evil, but he didn't think so. Pan is the most complex and successful butler AI he has trained, and he will try his best to execute all actions that meet the goal of maintaining the safety of the Lab and the owner of the Lab. Zhang Xun thinks that these people don’t know enough about artificial intelligence, or they are biased, or they don’t know how to use it. People always like to project their thoughts on the things around them. They don't understand that the consciousness system of AI is completely different from that of humans, and there is no such thing as likes and dislikes. It only executes and does not execute.

But now it seems... what they said is not groundless...

This is for the safety of you and all the researchers. Pan's tone was still brisk and healed, The high-frequency noise of the No. Muscle soreness, nausea, headaches and other side effects, I think it is a very mild punishment.

Zhang Xun leaned back on the chair, thought about it seriously, and finally made up his mind and nodded, It's better to give some punishment appropriately, lest they think we are soft persimmons.

Okay. There was no obvious joy in Pan's tone, it was still peaceful and magnetic, but I don't know if it was an illusion, I could feel a little lightness...

At this time, Zhang Xun felt a thin tingling pain on his arm. When installing the probe on Adam's forehead, Zhang Xun made some improvements on the microcomputer implanted in his arm that was originally used to remotely control the miniature bomb on the back of Adam's neck. Normally, his arm looks the same, but when he activates the controller, a control interface will appear in his microscopic mirror, which not only shows Adam's current brain wave condition and coordinate position, but also the needle of the probe. Everything captured by the hole camera. When Adam's brain activity peaked, such as when he was concentrating on one thing and caused mood swings, the controller implanted in his arm would vibrate slightly.

He looked up at the monitor screen, and saw that Adam was stretching the muscles in his arms. While stretching, he raised his head slightly, smiled at the camera, and waved his hands.

Adam seems to be calling him in this way a lot lately...

But Zhang Xun didn't plan to talk to him.

In the past three days, due to the unevenness outside, Zhang Xun was worried that someone would rush in, so he never allowed Adam to leave his room. The first time this kind of call happened, Zhang Xun didn't even look at the monitor, left the work in his hands at a critical moment, and rushed to Adam's room in a hurry, thinking that Adam had some sequelae of the simulator. As a result, the other party looked at him innocently and told him that he just wanted to test the sensing ability of the probe.

Zhang Xun was so angry that he almost wanted to put him on standby...

When it happened the second time and the third time, Zhang Xun gradually understood that Adam was testing his bottom line. Test how much you care about him.

The relationship between people is often a process of testing each other's bottom line. In the past month since the seance, Adam has been trying to push his bottom line, whether it was intentional or not, but Zhang Xun suspected that it was more intentional.

This time, Zhang Xun made up his mind to ignore him.

After a while, he looked up again and saw Adam sitting on the sofa with his back straight, his hands neatly placed on his lap, and his eyes looking eagerly at the camera. And the sensor under the skin of Zhang Xun's arm has been vibrating slightly.

The overwhelmed Zhang Xun irritably dropped the materials in his hand, and strode toward the elevator up to the fourth floor, burning with flames all over his body. After scanning his pupils impatiently, he entered Adam's room.

As I said, you can ask Pan to notify me if something happens. Zhang Xun's voice was cold and without warmth, I'm very busy.

Axun, are you angry with me? Adam tilted his head slightly, his ethereal eyes looked innocent, What did I do wrong?
