The Mechanic - Chapter 6

[Chapter 6 Adam (1)]

In order to ensure Adam’s safety, Zhang Xun gave all the mechanics and researchers working here a holiday. In the past few days, there will only be him here. Zhang Shuo had opposed this plan before, believing that Adam might be disadvantageous to Zhang Xun and run away. But Zhang Xun thinks that he has installed a sufficiently complex and sound intelligent security system in the Lab. Every room has a monitor, which is connected to the artificial intelligence system Pan designed by Zhang Xun himself. As long as anyone acts aggressively against Zhang Xun, Pan will activate the defense mechanism, trying to protect Zhang Xun with the least damage and subdue the attacker.

In the process of training Pan, James came to visit his Lab once, and half-jokingly hammered Xia Zhang Xun on the chest. As a result, because the opponent’s strength was too great, Xun Yi suddenly showed a little pain, and Pan confirmed that he was aggressive at the time. He sent two anesthesia needles to James, making the second guy fall asleep for two days before waking up. Come on… It’s no wonder James is always so hostile to Pan.

In the dark iron-clad corridor, a string of energy-saving lamps overhead was like a bunch of pale yellow ghosts, following Zhang Xun’s footsteps, always a few steps ahead to illuminate the way for him. The fourth floor was so quiet, and his footsteps echoed empty, making it more and more empty.

What was Adam doing when he was alone?

Scanning his pupils in front of the gate that “imprisoned” Adam, the first metal gate with rivets opened and closed immediately after he entered. The smart lock on the door on the second floor needs to recognize his fingerprint and face. After the scan is completed, the green indicator lights up, and the white sealed hatch is silently lifted.

Adam was dressed in loose white clothes and sat quietly on the sofa in the center of the room, with his hands on his lap and his eyes looking straight ahead. Only when he heard footsteps did he turn his head to look at Zhang Xun.

Adam’s way of turning his head was a little stiff, a little too sudden, and his eyes became stiff. But other than that, I have to say that he recovered quite well. On the opposite screen, the hazy radiance cast by the forest rain and fog made his fair skin more and more like a cream color. of the ethereal. But his body is strong and tall. Obviously, the owner of the body has undergone a series of rigorous training in the army. The lines of his muscles are clear and firm, but they are not exaggerated. The mechanical right hand fits perfectly with the human body, adding a surreal feeling to that body.

“You won’t be sitting here forever after I leave.” Zhang Xun looked at the other person’s almost unchanged posture.

“About an hour ago, I went to the bathroom to perform a human excretion.” Adam replied very rigorously, “Besides, I have been here all the time.”

Zhang Xun’s mouth was raised, and he wanted to laugh a little. I don’t want to lose my authority. He walked slowly towards Adam, who had always been a little nervous in the crowd, but he was much more relaxed in front of this super artificial intelligence. He looked at Adam seriously, and put the document in his hand on the table, “You don’t have to sit all the time. Here are some DVDs that you can show you to Pan, or you can use these screens to read books.”

“I’ve already Watched and analyzed all the films and books that have survived in human history up to two days ago. Analyzing human art and knowledge collections is very important for understanding human behavior.” Adam and his way of speaking have subtleties with ordinary human beings difference. His eyes will not wander like a human, but stare straight at Zhang Xun’s face, even blinking very little. Being stared at by such eyes often creates a sense of unease.

Zhang Xun turned his eyes away, “Aren’t you bored?”

Adam confessed, “My brain is indeed in a state of low arousal level because there is not enough input from the outside world. But I don’t think you will agree to connect me to the Internet. Search for more ‘thrills’ on

“Eden is blocked throughout Paradise Lost and you cannot communicate with your other servers from here. You should understand that any attempt to contact Eden will be detrimental to your own safety, so I advise you not to do anything stupid Trying.” Zhang Xun threateningly sat on the armchair opposite Adam, opened the folder, took out a piece of paper with a picture on it, and placed it in front of Adam. He said to Adam, “I’m going to go ahead and do some benchmarking. Looking at this picture, what story do you think the person in the picture has in it.”

Adam bowed his head. The picture shows a woman lying on the bed with her dying breath, and a man hunched over by the bed, covering his face with his hands.

“A woman is lying on the bed, and a man is sitting next to it.” Adam replied with a glance.

Zhang Xun said, “I mean, in your guess, what happened in the picture? What are the emotions of this woman and the man? What will happen after that?”

Adam frowned and seemed a little dissatisfied. said, “Insufficient information, any guesses will be subjective and inaccurate. And I understand that this is the TAT topic apperception test, and you have done a series of neuroperception tests on me yesterday, so this time you want to test me personality?”

Zhang Xun really didn’t like the feeling of being robbed, which often aroused some inexplicable fighting spirit in him. He tried to say in a more dignified voice, “You’re human now, and you should try something like your latest imagination.”

“But my brain is still mostly a computer. I don’t think it’s a human personality test. Appropriate for me. Not to mention that the TAT test is very subjective and time-consuming, and has been abandoned by most human psychologists and psychiatrists. I am surprised that Paradise Lost is still in use.” Adam does not seem to be Aware of Zhang Xun’s displeasure, there was even a bit of innocence in his voice.

Or maybe he noticed it and just chose to ignore it.

Maybe he was trying to piss himself off? Because when people are angry, they are prone to mistakes.

It’s just that Zhang Xun has always controlled his anger very well.

Zhang Xun sighed, took the drawing back, stood up, walked to Adam and looked down at him. He noticed that Adam seemed very reluctant to move, maybe because he didn’t like the tactile feedback his body gave him, so he wanted to stay as still as possible and try to get himself back to his original, bodyless state?

Maybe this is the angle he should cut into… Zhang Xun thought, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was a little… bad.

“Okay, since you don’t want to take the personality test, let’s start practicing using your body.” Zhang Xun stretched out his hand to Adam, as gracefully as he did when a gentleman invited a lady to dance in those old movies, “Hold me Stand up with your hands.”

Adam’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat conflicted. But he still grabbed Zhang Xun’s hand obediently. Probably because he didn’t control the strength properly, Zhang Xun almost thought that his phalanx was about to be broken by him, and he couldn’t help taking a breath.

Adam quickly let go again. Obviously, after seeing the human’s painful expression, his first reaction was not to continue to attack, but to retreat. Zhang Xun said slowly, “It’s okay, hold my hand and be gentle.”

This time, the strength was more appropriate. Adam helped him to his feet and tried to walk a few steps. He walks much better now than when he was in a trance, and he can walk almost without Zhang Xun’s support. But when Zhang Xun started to speed up his pace, Adam’s legs started to fight obviously, the front and back feet often stumbled together, swaying and staggering, like a child about to fall.

“Slow down!” Adam finally said a slightly different annoyed tone than usual.

However, Zhang Xun only slowed down a few steps, and then accelerated again viciously, while walking and said, “Walking is a conditioned reflex-like skill that requires enough practice to master, and in the end you can eat like a human being. You can walk even when you talk. It takes one to two years for humans to learn to walk, but you don’t have that much time.”

As a result, after I don’t know how many times Adam fell on his horse, he still had a chance to walk. The super artificial intelligence that looked like he was holding the winning ticket was lying on the ground and couldn’t get up.

“I think this position is more comfortable.” Adam said firmly.

Zhang Xun resisted the urge to laugh, knelt down and pushed him with his hand, “You’ve only been a human for two days, and you’ve learned to cheat?”

Adam still crawled motionless, turning his head to stare at him with blue eyes, “I don’t think that What’s the point of me learning to walk. My duty has nothing to do with walking.”

“You are no longer Eden, and your only duty now is to live.” Zhang Xunyou looked at him, and there was a trace of pity in his lowered eyes. , “Like every one of us men in Paradise Lost. You have to live in this hostile place. I can’t protect you forever.”

Eden looked at him quietly, suddenly asked in a curious tone Said, “Why do you protect me? Why are you not hostile to me? It doesn’t seem reasonable.”

“Because you are the greatest work of mankind. I respect you and want to learn more from you.” …to reshape him to add his own creation to such a more eternal creation. But Zhang Xun didn’t say the last sentence, he felt that it was too nauseous, “If you fall into the hands of other people, they will only be driven by hatred to do some useless stupid things, I can’t allow the greatest works of mankind to be taken carelessly. Destruction.”

Eden stared at him, “Don’t you hate me at all?”

“You’re just acting on the facts you’ve analyzed. No matter who designed you, gave you goals, or gave you data, it’s all We humans. Up to now, in fact, even women have not won, and their governments are just puppets of Eden and other artificial intelligence developed by Eden, and human decision-making no longer has any practical significance. It is humans themselves. Force ourselves to the point where we are now. We may just need a specific object to blame and hate, so that we can continue to survive.” Zhang Xun took a deep breath, and suddenly relaxed his tone and expression a little, “Okay, I won’t force you to walk anymore, get up.”

He helped Adam stand up, but Adam insisted on walking a few laps by himself, still trying to speed up his walking speed. When he was walking, he was so focused and serious as if he was doing something extremely important. In another chapter, Xun actually felt a little… cute?

If people find out about this idea, I am afraid that he will be arrested as an ideological danger… Today’s Paradise Lost has been controlled by extremism, and it cannot tolerate a little bit of conflicting voices.

While walking, suddenly Adam’s stomach made a series of “loud noises”. Adam stopped, looked up at Zhang Xun, who finally couldn’t hold back his snort and laughed, and said ignorantly, “I think this feeling now is because of the hunger caused by the drop in blood sugar in the body.”

” Okay. Now, if you feel this way in the future, just say that you are hungry, and you don’t need to analyze the physiological mechanism for me.” Zhang Xun sighed and pulled Adam back to the sofa and sat down, and ordered in a paternalistic tone, “My dear Wait for me, I’ll go get you something to eat.”
