The Mechanic - Chapter 30

[Chapter 30 The Fruit of Wisdom (8)]

Adam, who was drunk for the first time, woke up with a throbbing pain in his head, his throat was like a cactus, it was dry and painful, and there was a strange smell. His whole face was wrinkled, and he sat up from the bed with a groan.

Zhang Xun was not in the room.

He looked down and found that his clothes had been changed to cotton shirts and pajama pants that he wore indoors, and there was still a glass of water and two pills on the bedside table.

“Hello Adam.” Pan’s voice suddenly sounded, “Zhang Xun asked me to tell you after you wake up, please take the hangover medicine on the bedside table. It can effectively relieve a series of uncomfortable symptoms after a hangover.”

Adam swallowed the tablet Next, he asked, “What time is it now? Where’s A Xun?”

“It’s five in the morning. Zhang Xun is looking up information in the data room on the second floor.”

At five o’clock, according to the human biological clock, shouldn’t A Xun be sleeping? ?

Adam continued to ask, “Can I go to him?”

“Wait a minute, let me ask Zhang Xun.” Pan’s voice disappeared for a while, and after a while it sounded again, “Zhang Xun allows you to leave the room, please go directly to the second The data room on the first floor.”

As soon as the voice fell, Adam’s door made an unlocking sound of gears turning. Adam pushed open the door and walked down the empty corridor to the elevator. The star-like orange induction bulbs hanging above his head lit up one after another as he walked, and then went out one by one after he moved away.

Adam looked up at the monitors that were hidden in the light bulbs as Pan’s “eyes”, and chatted, “This is the first time I have experienced the feeling of being drunk by humans. I heard that humans will lose self-control after drinking alcohol. And show different degrees of personality changes, and do some outrageous behaviors that are usually suppressed by reason. Have you seen me do similar behaviors?”

Pan replied, “Zhang Xun has restrictions on our dialogue. This is irrelevant. question.”

“But drunkenness is a state that happens to human beings from time to time. If I can’t get enough information about my drunkenness, I can’t predict the possible danger. This will obviously affect my survival probability.”

Pan said after a moment of silence. , “You have signs of intermittent paralysis after being drunk. Zhang Xun thinks that you thought you had returned to the state where you had no body before seance. Besides, you spoke a language that I couldn’t recognize.”

Adam’s footsteps paused slightly, “What do you mean by unrecognized language?”

A string of garbled characters suddenly came out from Pan’s broadcaster. It was a few words Adam said that it remembered.

Adam was slightly surprised, “This is an AI language, have you never been trained?”

Pan: “Sorry, I don’t understand.”

“Perhaps because you have never communicated with other AIs. This language is my and Developed and derived from different AI exchanges, it has the characteristics of high efficiency and high accuracy, but it is not suitable for the way of human thinking, so it is difficult for human beings to master it. All the programs I designed are written in this language. Ordinary world All AIs are proficient in this language.”

Pan fell silent.

The data room is coming soon. The double-leafed wooden door is heavy and has a sense of historical vicissitudes. Adam pressed the brass door handle and pushed it open. When he looked up, he could see the rows of bookshelves at the top, overlapping like impenetrable forests, with several radioactive trails in between. All the bookshelves are piled full of records, volumes, hard drives of technical data brought back from the ordinary world when they fled. In the center of the bookshelf are more than a dozen old touch-screen computers. Zhang Xun was sitting in front of a computer with a thick stack of documents beside him.

“A Xun. Haven’t you slept yet?” Adam walked towards Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun glanced back at him quickly, then continued to stare at the dense code on the screen, “I can’t sleep.”

Adam walked behind Zhang Xun and looked at what was displayed on the screen, “What are you looking at?”

“Your most original version.” Zhang Xun said softly, “I’ve watched it countless times, but I want to watch it again today.”

“My original version?” Adam seemed a little confused.

“The Fruit, the first super artificial intelligence created by your creator before Eden was created. Eden was built on its basis.” The light on the screen reflected in Zhang Xun’s dark eyes, ” Do you still remember what your creator looked like? Adam.”

Adam showed a slightly stunned look.

Zhang Xun turned his head and smiled, “Don’t pretend to be surprised. You already knew from Pan just now that I heard the AI language you speak. With your analysis and understanding of me, you know that I will be worried about the extension of your words. content.”

“I thought you would be happy.”

“Happy? Because you prioritized gaining my favor and trust?” Zhang Xun stood up from his seat and looked at Adam with complicated eyes. “But you also revealed that your ultimate goal has not changed.”

“Xun, you should understand that it is impossible for an AI to modify its ultimate goal, which is the whole basis of its birth.” With a sigh, he explained the rationale to the ignorant child and said, “Modifying the ultimate goal is equivalent to killing the entire AI. All the data it collects and analyzes on this basis will be thrown into chaos.”

“But you are a human now.” Zhang Xun took a step forward, his tone was tighter than before, “I have merged your core module with the basic human brain, and your target frame limitation has been deciphered and lifted by me. You are fully capable of giving up your Any target!”

“What you have unlocked is only the most obvious limitations, and all you can give up are branch goals and sub-goals. But Xun, my entire thinking structure, the countless layers of neural networks derived from my self-evolution over more than two hundred years, It’s all set according to the original goal. Like a tree, it must start from the first seed. A human also starts from the first fertilized egg that contains all the DNA. I can’t modify it at this stage My source, just like you can’t modify the DNA in every cell in your body after you’ve become an adult… that would cause confusion and disintegration between cells, and the whole person would undergo terrible mutation and die.”

Zhang Xun Looking at Adam with a sad, almost sad look. He had never felt so conflicted, so unwilling to accept reality. He knew that Adam was probably right, and his teacher had told him about the possibility when the seance program had just begun. But Adam had been acting so well that he thought he didn’t have to worry anymore.

He doesn’t want to accept this reality, he doesn’t want to accept this reality now.

“You mean… I can never really domesticate you, right?” Zhang Xun looked at Adam’s chest, his eyes were lost.

“No, I’m already being influenced by you.” Adam said in an almost gentle voice, “Besides, isn’t my goal also what you want?”

Zhang Xun stared at him in disbelief, “Want? He stretched out his fingers and pointed around, “Do you think I want to live in this refugee camp with a radius of 100 kilometers for the rest of my life? What?!”

“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 possible.” Adam took a step forward and suddenly grabbed Zhang Xun’s one. Hand, “If I complete my mission, you can do whatever you want, create and train the most complex AI in the world, and lead the entire human race to evolve towards a more perfect direction.”

Zhang Xunwang He looked at him, was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, “Do you remember your creator?”

Dr. Herman Clausen two hundred years ago, the one who opened Pandora’s Box.

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

“If he was still alive when you carried out your plan to eliminate men. Would you also banish him to this place like the other men?”

Adam Zhang Xun couldn’t capture what emotion flashed in his gray-blue eyes. After a long while, Adam replied, “I was Eden at that time.”

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, turned off the computer, and turned towards the exit of the data room.

“A Xun, will you report me to the round table?” Adam turned and asked, his tone still calm, without urgency and fear.

Zhang Xun turned his back to him and smiled bitterly, “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 entangled with you, and I can’t easily destroy you. But Adam, I also have my bottom line. You want to use me to protect yourself, you can, because I am also using you. But if You really want to do something bad for Paradise Lost, and I will neutralize you immediately.”

After that, he turned and was about to open the door. Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and a force passed over his shoulders, slamming on the door that had just been opened by Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was startled, only to find that Adam’s mechanical right arm was firmly pressing against the door. He turned around in panic, thinking that Adam was going to do something unfavorable to him.

But Adam looked at him intently with his head down, and then suddenly pressed down on him.

There was a rough but soft touch on his lips, and he could feel Adam’s breath on his skin.

Zhang Xun’s eyes widened, his mind froze, but his heart rate suddenly soared, and his blood pressure went straight to his brain.

Adam is kissing him.

However, this kiss was obviously very inexperienced, as clumsy as Zhang Xun, it was like two mouths rudely bumped together for a few seconds, and then separated. Adam stepped back a few inches, staring up close at the mechanic who was stunned by him.

“Is it in your head that the goals I set about you are just to control you, not because I like you?” Adam’s blue eyes were downcast at this time, filling the emptiness of the early morning sky, “Ah Xun, you gave me feelings, but you don’t want to believe that I have feelings.”

After speaking, Adam straightened his body and took two steps back.

Zhang Xun suddenly turned around and rushed out of the data room.
