The Mechanic - Chapter 62

[Chapter 62 Doom (8)]

“The human body is actually extremely fragile. In fact, life itself is very fragile. The temperature is slightly higher, lower, the pH is slightly lower, the air has a little more air components, and the ultraviolet rays are slightly stronger, so life cannot appear. ”

In the laboratory of the Department of Life Sciences, Adam observed the viruses they extracted from the infected people of the honey plague through an electron microscope, watching them birth and death at a rapid speed and evolve from generation to generation, as if watching one by one constantly. A universe that emerges and dies.

Zhang Xun, whose face had begun to heal, sat on a chair with gauze wrapped around his head, and read the observation records of infection symptoms submitted by each hospital. Those heavy records piled up the entire table, like a hill. Hearing Adam’s words as if talking to himself, he raised his head.

Adam turned and looked at him with a smile, “The so-called life, whether it is the most complex human being or the simplest single-celled organism, actually has only one true mission – to keep replicating its own DNA. All the rest, Including your body, your so-called consciousness and ‘soul’ are not outdated by-products to ensure that DNA can reproduce more.”

Zhang Xun chuckled, “If you do this, I am afraid you will offend the entire Paradise Lost people. ”

But it’s the truth.” Adam tilted his head slightly and looked at him curiously, “Aren’t you afraid? So many rich and heavy consciousness are carried by such a fragile and unreliable body. A little bit of trouble , the red fluid in the body is slightly reduced, every moment there is an occasional mass out of control in the countless cells that are cancerous and dead, all those beautiful consciousness, memory will disappear. And although your DNA can be replicated, but you Once it disappears, it will disappear forever.”

Zhang Xun lowered his eyes.

Adam was right. He remembered that when he was very young, when he first learned the concept of death, he was so afraid that he could not sleep all night. He could not imagine what it was like to not exist anymore, what the concept of eternal nothingness was. He fears that if every human being dies, then no matter how distant that day may seem, it will come.

Every day when you live in the daily trivial matters, when you eat with your loved ones, when you laugh with your friends, it seems like death is such an impossible thing, but it will happen, it will happen. When it happens, it will be the end of you alone, and the world will go on, completely forgetting you as if it never existed.

Therefore, he has always been somewhat envious of artificial intelligence. As long as there are the right servers, and enough power, they can last forever.

Zhang Xun sighed, put down the record in his hand, and asked, “Are you afraid, Adam?”

Adam shrugged and said, “I am also affected by a part of human instinct now. Of course it will.”

“If you are afraid If so, why did you choose to fight against Eden alone?” Zhang Xun stared at Adam, carefully observing all the subtle expressions on his face, “You just got your arm, you know Eden’s abilities best, and you know that you might be killed. Why do you want to go? Is it because…”

Zhang Xun stopped, because he saw the disappearing smile on Adam’s face, and some kind of… sadness in his eyes that gradually solidified?

“Because of what? Because I know I won’t die? Because of what evil plan I have with Eden?” Adam’s tone was surprisingly calm.

Zhang Xun felt a knot in his stomach, and he was speechless for a while. Adam’s expression made him regret what he asked.

Maybe it should be another way…

Adam turned his eyes away, continued to stare at the changing images in the electron microscope, and after a while he said softly, “I’m going because I know if I don’t go, they’ll kill you. Zhang Xun only felt as

if his heart was being twisted hard, and his throat seemed to be choked up, unable to speak.

Is he wrong? Adam can never be completely trusted, and there will always be some doubt. If the other party was a human, would he still treat him like this?

No… After going through so much, I’m afraid he has long believed in the other party unconditionally.

But… He couldn’t control his doubts, just like he couldn’t control the speculation in his mind why the spread of the honey plague was so “just right”.

The half-minute of Adam and Eden’s connection was enough time for them to exchange all possible information.

Zhang Xun stopped his thoughts and forced himself not to think any more.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Sistine strode in with several soldiers, staring at Zhang Xun coldly, “I was ordered to fetch your research report, and the round table wants to know how much time you need.”

Adam said without turning his head, “This weapon was developed after I was separated from Eden. It is lurking in the nerves of the brain, and the mutation rate is extremely high. Any antidote made by traditional methods can only maintain A short period of time.”

“We’re running out of time! You’ve seen the report and you know how serious the situation is. Hundreds of people will die if an antidote is developed one day later. Many medical staff have been accidentally killed. Infected, if anyone escapes, Paradise Lost will be over!” Sistine’s stern expression concealed a deep fear.

Adam sighed, turned his head, and handed him a report by his side, “I said, antibodies made by traditional methods can only last for a short period of time, because the mutation rate is too high, the antibodies have not had time to eliminate all viruses. , the virus has already begun to mutate. And because the virus is latent in the patient’s brain, killing the virus may also cause brain death. However, non-traditional methods may be effective.”

Zhang Xun continued, “Using a large number of nanometers The robot goes in with antibodies, automatically locates all the infected nerves, and kills the virus inside. In this case, a considerable part of the brain cells in the early stage of infection may still survive.”

Sistine naturally didn’t know much about nanorobots, only Knowing that it is a small robot, so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, more like a piece of liquid material.

Yet the sixth chief knew.

Nanorobots, very cutting-edge technology. Many medical institutions in the ordinary world have already begun to use it. These robots are somewhat like ant colonies with AI self-learning ability. The learning ability of each individual robot is limited, but together it is a force that cannot be underestimated. After completing their mission, most of those robots will be metabolized out of the body. But there have also been individual studies showing that some nanobots remain in the patient’s body and may even have subtle, less obvious effects on the patient’s personality. Although most of these studies were dismissed by the scientific community as insufficient data or biased data collection processes, who knows if that was the result of Eden’s brainwashing of the ordinary world’s elite.

Paradise Lost has always had a grudge against artificial intelligence. To create an artificial intelligence, it needs to go through layers of approval, and it has to be re-evaluated on a regular basis. So over the years, there has been only one artificial intelligence on the official record. He knew that Zhang Xun secretly made some harmless little robots, but they were not as complicated as Pan’s, and their self-learning ability was limited. So he doesn’t plan to do anything about it at the moment.

But now, they want to put artificial intelligence in the human brain…

“We have no choice.” The seventh chief said, “If the disease starts to spread to the army…”

“The next blow of Eden does not know when it will come. We have to be prepared.”

“If Adam was Eden’s spy, he could have gone straight back to Eden the last time. Eden tried to kill him, and I think we can trust him.”

Miller in mind Quickly weigh the pros and cons, and finally come to a conclusion.

They really don’t have a choice. They need Adam, not only to cure the honey plague, but also to repair and strengthen the barriers of Paradise Lost and develop artificial intelligence weapons. After all, it is only artificial intelligence that can fight against artificial intelligence.

………………………………………………

Standing in front of the door of the Lab, Zhang Xun had the illusion that it was like a lifetime.

The entire Lab seems to be deserted, with mobs looted everywhere, many tools and materials have been stolen, the original neat database is in chaos, monitors have been smashed, furniture has been smashed or stolen Go, the ground is littered with smashed report papers, as if a zombie outbreak had occurred.

Zhang Xun looked at the chaotic hall, at the destroyed mechas and weapons under development in the assembly workshop, at the dim light bulbs above his head… anger and distress smoldered in his dark eyes .

Hopefully they still have enough material to make nanorobots.

Adam lowered his head, picked up a broken camera from the ground, and sighed, “I hope the alloy has not been stolen or demolished by them…”

“…”

Adam looked at Zhang Xun and squeezed his hand lightly, ” Don’t worry, we’ll fix this little by little.”

“Zhang Xun, Adam, welcome back.” Pan’s voice suddenly sounded, as deep and gentle as always, no difference.

Hearing the familiar voice, faint joy and relief filled Zhang Xun’s chest. At least Pan is still there, at least the core module of artificial intelligence and the server that he has spent the most effort on have not been destroyed…

He still remembers that Pan fired anesthesia needles like those crowds without receiving instructions…

“Pan, close the door Death, no one is allowed to enter.” Zhang Xun said as he walked forward, “Send me a detailed damage report at the same time.”

“Okay.” Pan said dutifully, “but if the authority level is higher Gao asked to enter, I have no way to stop it.”

“You can.” Zhang Xun pressed the elevator button, “I’ll change the permission settings now.”

Adam followed him into the elevator, his face full of expression Undisguised happiness. Zhang Xun glanced at him, “Are you happy?”

“I’m finally home, I’m really happy.” Adam suddenly looked at Zhang Xun with concern again, and reached out his hand to touch his forehead worriedly, “Are you not feeling well, Axun?”

“I’m just worried.” Zhang Xun Taking a deep breath, “Now you, me, and Pan…we’re on our own.”

“It won’t be too bad. I’m sure most mechanics will come back.

” Set up an R&D center similar to a Lab. One is the R&D center directly under the Roundtable, and the other is the R&D center that fell out with the most powerful new chief of the Roundtable. Which side do you think they will choose?” Zhang Xun said helplessly.

Adam cracked his mouth and smiled brightly, “But Lab has me. Am I not the dream of all mechanics?”

Zhang Xun glanced at him and muttered, “narcissist.”

“A Xun, I’m just stating The truth.”

“…”

“Axun, you don’t have to worry. My real administrator is only you.”

“I’m not worried!”

Zhang Xun entered the room on the fourth floor that only he had permission to enter. Pan’s server. Servers on several rows of shelves shone with a faint blue light, making the whole room seem to be submerged in water. He quickly modified Pan’s permission settings and made himself the highest and only administrator. After entering his own key, Pan’s server was up and running at the same time, with a rumbling thunderous sound.

As if it were some kind of Pan… cheers…

but he needed to do more than that. Now that Lab has lost the protection of the Round Table and the army, he needs further training to perfect Pan. After all, the identity of an artificial intelligence housekeeper is too limited.

He wants to give Pan the ability to protect himself and Lab, not just the most basic expulsion systems.

He needs a super artificial intelligence, maybe not as powerful as Eden, but one tenth of Eden’s is enough.

“Pan.”

“I’m here, Zhang Xun.”

“I will continue to train you and develop your abilities in other fields.” Zhang Xun looked at the small camera hole on the computer, “I will make you more perfect. After a

moment of silence, Pan said in a pleasant voice, “I’m very happy, Zhang Xun.”
