The Mechanic - Chapter 83

[Chapter 83 Ordinary World (6)]

In the early morning, Zhang Xun was awakened by a noise. He rubbed his bewildered eyes and found that he had been covered with a wool blanket that he had found from nowhere.

When he turned his head, he saw Enoch sitting upright on the edge of the mattress, his head tilted at a precise 45 degrees to the direction of the noise.

Zhang Xun turned his head and saw the source of the disturbance not far away. The thin young man who had asked them for a hamburger before screamed fiercely, and was entangled in layers of fibers shot from the head of a robot. Near him, under the protection of several robots, a petite and beautifully dressed woman leaned against an aircraft and looked at the struggling young man with a faint smile on her face.

All the homeless people around were woken up, but no one stepped forward to intervene. Everyone turned around silently in unison, pretending that they didn’t see anything.

James couldn’t stand it any longer, and asked a homeless man next to him in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“He is that woman’s ‘boyfriend’. He seems to have heard that the hostess is a little violent and beats him all day long. He can’t stand it. She ran away. It wasn’t that she was found, she asked the mechanical police to help her take her back. Hey… I might have to suffer another crime when I go back.”

Another man who was about the same age as the young man muttered, “Hmph, say Maybe he did something to make the mistress want to beat him. I heard that he quietly seduced the mistress’s friend, and I can’t stand it.”

“Yeah, you see that mistress looks so thin, even if How painful it can be to beat him. How hypocritical.” The third tramp interjected.

Zhang Xun listened to their comments in disbelief, and couldn’t believe that they didn’t have the slightest sympathy for the young men who were in a similar situation to them.

Was it the same situation two hundred years ago when women and men switched positions? When the enslaved turned into masters, why did they do the same thing as the original oppressors? Is it really human nature for one ethnic group to oppress another ethnic group, and one class to oppress another class?

Why would Eden allow this to happen? If his goal is to bring peace and equality to humanity, aren’t these men who suffer from human beings?

James couldn’t stand it any longer. Just as he was about to stand up, Diego suddenly grabbed his arm.

“Don’t worry about it.” He warned, “There are too many things like this, you can’t control them, it will only cause trouble for us.”

The young man was stuffed into the aircraft and taken away. The originally noisy settlement Silence again. Zhang Xun couldn’t sleep anymore. Judging from the reactions of the people around, this kind of thing should be very common.

Adam, that is to say Eden, also doubted his original decision after seeing countless similar situations. Is it because I have seen too many negative things in human nature and have doubts about human nature.

That’s why he wants to eliminate the gap between the individual and the whole, and eliminate humanity. Without the distinction between you and me, there will be no more oppression and no more suffering. Because you are me and I am you.

Yet there are no more humans.

Perhaps realizing that Zhang Xun did not intend to continue falling asleep, Enoch turned his head to look at him, tilted his head slightly and asked, “Do you need me to do something for you?”

Zhang Xun looked at Enoch, imagining that since birth Just know what you want to do, know your mission, and what it feels like.

“Enoch, what is your ultimate goal?” Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch answered without hesitation, “Provide life and emotional assistance to the human beings I serve to improve their quality of life.”

“If one day there are no more human beings in the world to serve you, what will you do? ?” Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch frowned slightly, with a very human facial expression, “Then I need to ensure that there will always be human beings in the world.”

Zhang Xun heard this sentence, and something suddenly became clear in his mind.

He had previously considered revamping Pan’s core programming to create an artificial intelligence capable of rivaling Eden. But he never knew how to start. Pan is essentially a service robot, but with a wider range of responsibilities than a typical service robot. When I first started building Pan’s neural network, the training theme was to improve the quality of life of all target groups, so that they could eat better meals, and it was easier to find the parts they wanted to find, so that people did not need to spend unnecessary money. The experience creates a safe, undisturbed work environment for everyone in the chores of pouring coffee, washing work clothes, and performing repetitive tasks.

On this basis, he set the definition parameters for the target group at the beginning: all employees in the Lab. Later, when he started to expand other aspects of Pan’s abilities, he adjusted this parameter to: all members of Paradise Lost.

How can such an inoffensive artificial intelligence that aims to serve mankind compete with a super AI like Eden, who was born with the terrible ideal of saving mankind? But if it is almost impossible to rewrite the core program, it means that all neural network structures need to be disintegrated and reconstructed, which is equivalent to training a new AI from scratch.

But now, after hearing what Enoch said, he thought. He doesn’t need to dismantle Pan’s core modules. He just needs to make Pan understand that he cannot continue to serve humanity without humanity. In this way, all service robots, including Pan, need to figure out how to ensure that the situation does not happen without humans.

What Zhang Xun needs to do is to add individual independence to the definition of “human beings”. This is not difficult, because if Adam’s collective consciousness is formed, there will be no human beings who need the services of any service robots. On this basis, Zhang Xun can give these service robots new abilities at will, and even let them unite against Adam.

Zhang Xun’s eyes burst into a bright light that had disappeared for a long time. He suddenly sat up on his knees and hugged Enoch.

“Thank you!”

He didn’t see Enoch’s eyes wide open, he was at a loss, and he even felt a little stiff from a short-circuit fault. I also didn’t see a few “ants” quickly crawling out of Enoch’s nose and quickly crawling back.

Zhang Xun turned around and shook Diego, who was sleeping back in the cage, and turned to look at James, who was looking at him inexplicably, and said to them in a low voice, “Let’s go to Feathered Snake City!”

James thought Zhang Xun was crazy , “Axun, I know the environment here is rather harsh. I was thinking that we could go north, although the climate is cold, but the population is sparse…”

“No, Jamie, we need Feathered Snake City.” Zhang Xun looked eagerly At him, “We’re going to rely on them to take back Paradise Lost.”

Diego and James obviously didn’t understand what bad idea the crazy mechanic had come up with, and looked at him hesitantly. Zhang Xun took a private look to make sure that the homeless around him were all asleep, and then he lowered his voice again and said, “Feathered Snake City wanted to carry out the ascension plan, but it failed, didn’t it?”

James nodded, “Yeah. That’s why we Can’t go.”

“They’re the failures of Eden’s experiment, but they don’t know why they failed, but we do. So they need me. As long as I’m useful to them, they won’t hurt us.”

Dee Ya Ge said, “But if they are already Eden’s licking dog, wouldn’t Eden tell them why their shitty plan didn’t work?”

“Any experiment needs a control group.” Zhang Xun looked at it calmly. They, “One group modified their brains, the other group didn’t. Feathered Serpent City is the control group for Paradise Lost, so Eden won’t tell them.”

Feathered Serpent City, which was so eager to return to the embrace of the ordinary world, turned out to be just Only the control group. Diego and James don’t know whether they should be afraid because Eden’s cold storage is ruthless, or should be afraid because Zhang Xun can understand Eden’s thoughts…

“A Xun… Do you really want to help them? ?” James looked at Zhang Xun in disbelief.

Zhang Xun hurriedly said, “Of course not, but they have enough equipment and many, many AIs, and I need those AIs.” The

two soldiers still looked unconvinced. Zhang Xun said frustratedly, “If you don’t want to go, I can understand.”

“I’ll accompany you.” The

three of them turned their gazes to Enoch, who had a proper butler-like smile, almost a touch of warmth.

Diego coughed lowly and said in a low voice, “I said… Does that service robot like you…”

Zhang Xun rolled his eyes, “Impossible, it’s an AI and has no human feelings. This is all a simulation. That ‘s it.”

“Then why didn’t it say follow us?” Diego raised his eyebrows.

James also glared at Enoch suspiciously.

The latter still smiled innocently, his eyes curled.

Zhang Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “It’s not right. You can go to the north, and this robot will follow me to Feathered Snake City.”

“I’ll go with you too.” James suddenly said, “It’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”

“Huh? Then I go to the back and drink the Northwest Wind alone?” Diego shrugged, sighed, clicked on the Button, and started calling for Lucille.

Lucille was obviously still sleeping, her hair was disheveled, and she was wearing only a tight-fitting camisole and shorts. Zhang Xun’s hot body made Zhang Xun blush slightly.

“You better be in a hurry, or my mother will drag you back to kindergarten with a whip.” Lucille said angrily when she got up.

Diego laughed twice, “Calm down, we want to tell you, we have to ask you to help.”

Lucille yawned, “I figured it out? Are you sure you want to go to Feathered Snake City?”

Diego Glancing back at Zhang Xun, he shrugged, “Yeah. I gave you all the money, but you won’t give it back.”

“Hmph, you owe me so much, what is this money?” Lucille rubbed it. Rubbing his eyes, he said, “You all wait in place, and I’ll pin your location with the communication on. Someone will come to you in a while, just go with her.”

Half an hour later, a tall, dark-skinned girl stomped into the settlement on a flying board suspended in the air, causing a commotion in the crowd. She jumped off the flying board lightly, took off the mask on her face, and showed a cheerful and charming smile to the three of them and a robot, “Are you two friends of Lucille?”

Diego seemed to be called by her, She stammered, “Yeah…yeah.”

She hooked her fingers at them, “Come with me.”

She walked over to the flyboard and stomped her feet on it. The long strip that radiated pink light suddenly extended a lot. She jumped on the board, turned to look at them, “Come up.”

Diego went up first, James followed. Zhang Xun took the first step with a little hesitation, and immediately felt that something was sticking to his feet.

A soothing voice came from behind, “Don’t be afraid, your feet will be fixed on the board during the flight and won’t fall off. And I will support you.”

Zhang Xun looked back at Enoch’s clear blue eyes , also began to be slightly suspicious.

This robot seems to be a little…too gentle to him?
