The Mechanic - Chapter 7

[Chapter 7 Adam (2)]

Zhang Xun walked to Lab’s restaurant and stood in front of the ordering board and watched for a while. Pan’s voice suddenly sounded, “Hello, Zhang Xun. What would you like to eat today?”

Zhang Xun looked at the suggested menu on the screen and hesitated, “Based on Adam’s current physical condition, what advice do you have?”

Pan said, “Adam’s body function is still recovering. It is recommended to choose foods with more protein, vitamins and fibers, and less sugar and less oil. Here is the suggested menu.” As soon as he finished speaking, the menu on the screen was changed to chicken breast salad, sugar-free oatmeal Porridge, freshly squeezed celery juice. Just seeing the names of these dishes made Zhang Xun wrinkle his face with disgust, such a nasty menu can really suppress his appetite.

“Can you take the taste into consideration? You can sacrifice a little bit of nutritional value.” Adam couldn’t be allowed to eat such a thing for three consecutive days, otherwise he would think that human eating behavior is not fun at all.

A new menu appeared on the screen, this time with chicken omelette, corn salad and fresh orange juice. Zhang Xun nodded, “Just prepare like this.”

Several robotic arms in the kitchen began to work, while Zhang Xun waited for ten minutes at the dining outlet, and suddenly said to Pan again, “When I’m not here, Adam Did he try to talk to you?”

Pan said, “Yes.”

“What did he tell you?”

Pan: “He asked me where my central system is, the living conditions of Eden, and also asked about the layout of the Lab. He said he was curious about where the training data in my database came from.”

Zhang Xun frowned, “How much did you say?”

“I answered his question about Eden’s living environment. Other questions were not answered for safety reasons.”

Zhang Xun nodded and said, “No matter what Adam asks you in the future, as long as it doesn’t involve his life needs, don’t answer.”

Pan: “Okay.”

Soon the food was neatly arranged in the window, and the egg was golden and steamed on the oval fried rice, and it even vibrated slightly with inertia.

Zhang Xun returned to Adam’s room with the food, but was surprised to see that Adam was still walking, and it was obviously much easier and smoother than before. Apparently he’s getting used to his body at an incredible rate. Zhang Xun greeted him to eat, put the fork into Adam’s hand, but found that Adam still had a long way to go to control his hands. He clumsily grasped the fork with his left hand, smashing the omelette into pieces, and the rice fell off the table, but he was obviously shocked by the taste of the rice, and his face showed a straightforward and undisguised look of surprise and intoxication. .

“Is it delicious?” Zhang Xun observed his movements and expressions.

“Delicious.” Adam’s eyes lit up, “This is omelette, but not many people make it in the ordinary world. I didn’t expect your artificial intelligence to be able to make it.”

“I don’t have much data here. It’s hard enough just to stay alive, and the cooking recipe data I used to train Pan was something I risked to get out of the city.” At the beginning, Zhang Xun even risked wearing women’s clothes to go to the library in Vancouver to secretly train Pan’s cooking skills. Scanned and downloaded thousands of recipes and entered them into Pan’s database, and then asked James to help and intimidate half of the men in Paradise Lost as his experiments to provide Pan with feedback on what was delicious and what was not. The poor guard soldiers led by James ate dreadful dark dishes like shit for more than a month. Pan’s cooking skills finally entered the normal range, and quickly improved to the level of a three-star chef in the next year. .

Zhang Xun recalled the embarrassing situation in which he disguised himself as a woman, and was laughed at by James for half a year, and now he still takes it out to ridicule him from time to time.

“Have you ever sneaked into the city?” Adam’s gray-blue eyes widened in surprise, “My surveillance system didn’t find you.”

“I have my own way.” Zhang Xun said vaguely.

However, Adam is still analyzing himself, “Even if you make up and become a woman, my monitoring system has some blind spots in the city except for private places such as bathrooms. As long as you appear in public, it will definitely be monitored. After recognizing your face Failure to match the data in the population system will send a signal to the nearby mechanical police. If this alarm is not triggered, it means that you have a fake female identity in the population system.” Adam frowned slightly, as if a little Not very happy, “But if you want to hack into the population system, it’s impossible, the firewall there is designed by me, and it’s impeccable. Unless it’s a social hacker…”

No matter how secure the system is, it can’t prevent the betrayal of insiders.

“You have an inner response.” Adam came to a conclusion, with a clear look on his face, but he seemed a little confused. He must not understand how any woman would be willing to help these dangerous male creatures who had enslaved them for thousands of years betray their gender. No matter how much data he has about human behavior, the diversity of individuals remains a mystery to him.

He only knows the results presented by the data and makes predictions based on the big data, but he cannot know why the data appears.

Zhang Xun saw that the interesting thing he mentioned casually was completely dismantled by Adam, and he regretted that he had brought up the collection of recipes. Fortunately, Adam can’t connect to the Internet now, and he has transformed him into a “most human” person. A creation between a computer and a human will not cause any irreversible effects.

But now it seems, chatting with Adam is really about being vigilant at all times.

“Humans are too unstable and reliable.” Adam commented, “I have considered replacing all humans with robots in all important institutions, but this will cause humans to be too low-involved in their own decision-making, which will lead to existential anxiety, resulting in Disgust and fear of artificial intelligence.”

“You want to disarm human beings little by little…” When the vigilance of artificial intelligence is lost, it can transform human beings in whatever way it wants… Zhang Xun actually already I suspected that Adam would have such a plan, since Eden started to replace the police with robots. It now appears that this suspicion has been confirmed.

If outside women can be made aware of the plan of the gods they depend on, can they be made defensive about Eden?

And why did Adam specifically tell him this? Wasn’t he afraid that Paradise Lost would use this information to do something against Eden?

“You don’t know what’s best for you. You will always make short-term decisions that are extremely detrimental to your quality of life and probability of survival in the long run, or choose leaders who are not fit to lead you.” Adam Said calmly, “So it’s my job to make decisions for you.”

Adam’s tone seemed to be talking about a group of animals that he kept in captivity… Although he was not wrong…

“It used to be your job, now it’s not Yes.” Zhang Xun, who was a little frustrated, corrected.

But at this moment, a short warning tone with a hint of alertness suddenly sounded in the air, and Pan Wenwen’s sweet voice sounded, “Several members of the Defense Forces are asking to enter at the door.”

After speaking, the screen in front of him was converted into a door . The picture captured by the monitor. A few tall men who looked like soldiers shouted at the door, and even threw wine bottles at the door of the Lab. Seeing them swaying, they seemed to be drunk. Zhang Xun frowned displeased, obviously disgusted with such behavior.

Adam snorted, but he didn’t swallow the food in his mouth. As he spoke, grains of rice and eggs kept falling out of his mouth, “Is this the one that Pan mentioned before who didn’t like you?”

Zhang Xun glanced Glancing at Adam, with a frown on his face, he picked up the napkin and wiped the rice grains off Adam’s chin, “New rule, don’t talk while eating.”

Pan asked, “Do you want to activate the No. 2 eviction system?” The

so-called two The expulsion system is a burst of high-frequency noise that humans or most animals would find very sharp and harsh, a bit like the sound of scratching a blackboard with a fingernail, but amplified dozens of times. Zhang Xun sighed and said, “No, don’t make such a big noise. I’ll drive them away.”

Zhang Xun stood up, and suddenly he felt a chill on his wrist.

He turned his head in astonishment, only to see Adam grabbed him with his mechanical right hand.

After Adam quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, he stared at him earnestly with a pair of ethereal gray-blue pupils and said, “Judging from their body language, they are in a stage where their self-control is weakened, and their aggression is very high. Your physical condition can’t beat them. I suggest you reconsider your decision.”

Zhang Xun couldn’t help laughing, “I don’t fight with them. I’ve seen such people a lot, so don’t worry.”

After speaking, he was stunned. Adam is worried about him?

Or just for self-defense? Because I’m afraid Adam also knows that if he didn’t have himself, he would have been cut into pieces by the angry men outside.

Adam let go of his hand, said nothing more, lowered his head and continued to eat his omelette seriously. Sure enough, the possibility of self-defense is higher. Zhang Xun shook his head, quickly left Adam’s room, locked the door, and went all the way to the door.

As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be Michael Wharton and a few others. They have a good relationship with James, but they always don’t see eye to eye with Zhang Xun. If men like them were placed two hundred years ago, women would use a label to describe them: diao cancer. For them, the gender pride that many men have now lost remains. Anything that is not considered “manly” in their dictionary will be ridiculed by them, and many recruits who have just joined the guard will be bullied by their group.

Such groups are still sizable in Paradise Lost today. The more extreme the hatred for women and artificial intelligence, the worse the living environment of Paradise Lost, the greater the sense of crisis, the greater the number of these people, and the heavier the right to speak.

And Zhang Xun is obviously the “not enough man” category in their dictionary. In addition, he is a mechanic, not only is not a man, but also has something to do with artificial intelligence. But he was the son of General Zhang and James’ “buddy”, and his status was higher than that of Michael’s group, so he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Zhang Xun.

Seeing Zhang Xun, Jack, who was still holding a beer bottle in his hand, hurriedly put the bottle down, probably because Zhang Xun would really come out. Michael really smelled of alcohol, but his eyes were obviously clear, and he must have gone crazy with alcohol. He folded his arms and looked at Zhang Xun defiantly.

Zhang Xun looked weak in front of these tall, muscular men, but his back was straight, his face was solemn, and his eyes were cold. His eyes slowly swept over these people, and he said coldly, “You should be glad I didn’t activate the expulsion system.”

“When are you going to hand over that thing?” Michael said in a lazy voice, “We guard the army to fight against each other. It’s not for you to use it as a toy!”

“Giving him over to you, what are you going to do?” Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of mockery in his tone, with a kind of contempt. Biological contempt. He knew that his expression would seriously hurt Michael’s self-esteem, but he didn’t dare to do anything to himself. This will make Zhang Xun feel a sense of revenge.

Sure enough, Michael’s entire body showed some kind of aggressive posture, his arms were slightly open, and his eyes were full of burning anger, “Of course it was torture, let him spit out Eden’s plan!”

“Eden found himself Your server was robbed, don’t you think that you would try to get the secrets from that server? Even if you get the information, it’s all waste information that was abandoned by Eden, and it’s useless.” Zhang Xun said coldly, “Down God’s plan was never simply for revenge or torture, but to make God one of us, tame him and make him work for us. He will be our most powerful weapon against Eden. Do you want it for you for a while? Vent your anger and destroy the future of Paradise Lost?!”

Michael never could say enough about Zhang Xun, he could only lead a few brothers to win by his aura, and surrounded Zhang Xun fiercely, “Okay, in a month, if you want to Don’t blame us for being rude to him!”

Zhang Xun didn’t give in, “You’d better leave now, or I’ll activate the expulsion system. Did you feel good last time?”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several tall men showed a little flinch. Bombarding your brain with that high-frequency screeching sound is not a memory you want to recall.

After Michael left with his younger brothers reluctantly, Zhang Xun did not show much relief. He knew that the interception of Adam would inevitably deepen the fear and hatred of the world’s national team, and the US government used this incident to make a big fuss to incite the heads of countries. Even if Eden might not strongly support it, under the pressure of public opinion, I am afraid that the coalition forces of the United States and several other countries will start bombing their bases soon. Although Paradise Lost now has a strong defense system, it is still difficult to compete with the coalition forces of several countries.

My father is already trying to get in touch with several other refugee cities for support, but other cities cannot guarantee themselves, how much support can they give?

In the midst of fear and anger, will he be able to keep Adam?

At that time, his father gave him a month and he thought it was too short, but now that he thinks about it, I’m afraid he didn’t even have a month.
