The Mechanic

My original? Adam seemed confused.

The Fruit, the first super artificial intelligence that your creator made before Eden. Eden was built on top of it. The light on the screen reflected in Zhang Xun's dark eyes, Do you remember what your creator looked like, Adam.

Adam showed a slightly taken aback look.

Zhang Xun turned his head and smiled and said, Don't pretend to be surprised. You just learned from Pan that I heard the AI ​​language you spoke. Based on your analysis and understanding of me, you know that I will worry about the extension of your words. content.

I thought you'd be pleased.

Happy? Because you set the highest priority on gaining my favor and trust? Zhang Xun stood up from his seat and looked at Adam with complicated eyes. But you also revealed your ultimate goal at the same time. Still the same.

Axun, you should understand that it is impossible for an AI to modify its ultimate goal, which is the entire basis of its birth. Adam said in a tone that was almost sighing, explaining the truth to an ignorant child, Modify The ultimate goal is to kill the entire AI. Everything it collects and analyzes based on it will be thrown into chaos.

But you are a human being now. Zhang Xun took a step forward, his tone more urgent than before, I have merged your core module with the basic human brain, and your target frame limit has also been deciphered by me Lift. You are fully capable of abandoning any of your goals!

What you untie are the most obvious restrictions, and all you can give up are branch goals and sub-goals. But Axun, my entire thinking structure, the countless layers of neural networks derived from more than two hundred years of self-evolution, They are all set according to the original goal. Just like a tree, it must germinate from the first seed. A human being must also be formed from the first fertilized egg containing all DNA. I can’t do it at this stage Modifying my source is just like you cannot modify the DNA in every cell in your body after you have grown up... That will cause chaos and disintegration among the cells, and the whole person will undergo terrible mutations and die.

Zhang Xun looked at Adam with sad, almost sad eyes. He had never felt so conflicted, so unwilling to accept reality. He knew that what Adam said was very likely to be right. His teacher had told him about this possibility when the seance project had just begun. But Adam has been acting so well that he thinks he doesn't have to worry anymore.

He didn't want to accept this reality, and he didn't want to accept this reality now.

You mean... I'll never be able to really tame you, right? Zhang Xun looked at Adam's chest, his eyes absent-minded.

No, I'm already under your influence. Adam said in an almost gentle voice, And, isn't my goal also what you want?

Zhang Xun stared at him in disbelief, Want?! He pointed around, Do you think I want to live in this refugee camp with a radius of 100 kilometers all my life? Do you think I can only use Some insignificant gadgets spliced ​​from the scraps picked up outside?!

My ultimate goal is not to be an enemy of men, but to create a world with freedom, fairness, order and peace to the greatest extent. Adam stepped forward, and suddenly grabbed Zhang Xun's hand firmly, If I have fulfilled my mission, you can do whatever you want, you can create and train the most complex AI in the world, and you can lead the entire human race to evolve towards a more perfect direction.

Zhang Xun looked at him, was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, Do you still remember your creator?

Dr. Herman Clausen two hundred years ago, the person who opened Pandora's box.

Adam replied without hesitation, Yes, of course I do.

If he's still alive when you carry out your plan to exterminate males. Will you also banish him to this place like the other men?

What emotion flashed in Adam's gray-blue eyes was difficult for Zhang Xun to capture. After a while, Adam replied, As Eden, I would.

Zhang Xun's Adam's apple slid up and down, as if trying to swallow some emotion. He took his hand out of Adam's hand, turned off the computer, and turned to the exit of the reference room.

Axun, will you report me to the round table? Adam turned around and asked, his tone still calm, without any urgency or fear.

Zhang Xun turned his back to him, smiled wryly, No.

Why?

Because I'm not AI, I'm human, I have flaws, and I also have feelings. Zhang Xun turned to look at him, and said sadly, Your strategy is very correct, it made me feel emotionally attached to you, and I can't easily Destroy you. But Adam, I also have my bottom line. If you want to use me to protect yourself, it’s fine, because I am using you too. But if you really want to do something that is not good for Paradise Lost, I will neutralize you immediately.

After speaking, he turned around and was about to open the door. Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and a strong force passed over his shoulder, and suddenly pressed on the door that had just been opened by Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was startled, but found that it was Adam's mechanical right arm that was firmly pressed against the door panel. He turned around in panic, thinking that Adam was about to do something unfavorable to him.
