The Mechanic - Chapter 88

[Chapter 88 Boundaries (2)]

Zhang Xun checked Pan’s code all night, and before he knew it, he dozed off, his head bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice. For several days, they were running around on the road, living in a harsh environment, and they didn’t have time to rest.

Zhang Xun patted his face hard, trying to stay awake, and habitually ordered, “Pour me a cup of coffee.”

After a while, a loud banging bell woke him up, but when he saw Enoch Lying on the ground with a whole shelf full of parts and debris, bits and pieces of screws, old chips and other small things were scattered all over the floor.

Zhang Xun secretly scolded himself for forgetting the Enoch distance sensing system was broken… He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, walked over and grabbed the robot’s hand and pulled it up.

Enoch’s expression looks a little… embarrassed?

Zhang Xun couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth. He knew it was unnecessary, so he comforted him, “Blame me. You should stand in the corner and don’t move.”

Enoch said, “According to my observations of you these days, you are currently I’m in a state of severe sleep deprivation. You should go to sleep for at least seven hours to restore your energy.”

“I still have work to do.” Zhang Xun sighed, and his sleepiness was relieved a lot by Enoch. He rubbed his red eyes and continued to sit back in front of the computer screen.

For the next period of time, the whole room was silent except for Zhang Xun’s sound of typing on the keyboard. Enoch seemed to be non-existent, and obediently stood in the corner and entered the standby mode.

At about 4:30 in the morning, Zhang Xun finally confirmed that Pan’s core program had not been altered. However, some key parameters have undergone different degrees of self-adjustment. However, it is very normal for these AIs written with evolutionary algorithms to produce parameter changes during the self-learning process of analyzing data and getting feedback. It is difficult to say how much is affected by the data and feedback provided by Adam. Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment, turned on the camera placed on the computer, and then entered a line of instructions.

The cursor flickered, and suddenly a line of words jumped out: Good morning, I’m Pan.

The light from the screen reflected on Zhang Xun’s face, and also illuminated the mechanic’s unconscious smile. He said, “Do you know who I am?”

Pan: You are my administrator, Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun: “When was your last backup time?”

Pan reported the date, which was about three days before Zhang Xun moved out of the Lab. match his memory. Zhang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, explaining that after he backed up, no one really touched Pan again.

Zhang Xun asked again: “Pan, what is your core mission?”

Pan: Try to improve the quality of life and work efficiency of the target group, and try to meet the living needs of the target group without violating the safety principle.

Since leaving Paradise Lost, everything has been out of control. Although his sense of control in Paradise Lost is just an illusion, outside, he feels like a small piece of paper torn from a book, flying aimlessly with the wind, Without a single line pulling, there is no telling what will happen in the next second. This feeling of being out of control caused a lot of pressure on Zhang Xun’s spirit.

He wanted to grab something he was familiar with.

Pan suddenly took the initiative to ask: Where are we now? Zhang Xun: “Rhino Horn Town, your scope of activities will no longer be limited to Lab and Paradise Lost. Your target service targets are

no longer limited to Paradise Lost.”

tendency. I need more information and feedback, but my current hardware level does not allow me to do large scale data analysis.

Although it is only text, this is already equivalent to the artificial intelligence version of the complaint. Zhang Xun thought silently, why Enoch and Pan both like to complain that the hardware is not good enough… He could only appease: “This is just a stopgap measure. I need to adjust some of your parameters, and then I will prepare it for you. A better computer… it might even give you a mechanical body, just like the service robot over there.”

Zhang Xun said, pointing to Enoch who was still standing still.

Unexpectedly, Enoch suddenly blinked his eyes at this time, and turned his neck stiffly to look at them, looking very interested.

Zhang Xun asked again, “Pan, I want you to call up all the records in your operation log that Adam has communicated with you. Especially the data and feedback he gave you in AI language, I want you to convert it into human language and present it. Come out.”

In an instant, countless dense strings spread out on the screen, and they continued to swipe down the screen, making the screen with white characters on a black background almost become white. The entire screen refresh process lasted for nearly ten minutes, probably because the AI language efficiency is extremely high and the amount of information stored far exceeds that of human language. As a result, the amount of information in a sentence translated into human English may be translated into thousands of words.

With so much information, five years may not be enough to read carefully. Zhang Xun then continued, “Highlight all the content related to nanorobots and display them in a concentrated manner.”

After a quick scan, it seemed that Zhang Xun already knew about the construction principles of nanorobots, application cases and results, etc. , nothing suspicious. But when he started searching for some keywords in the case content that he thought were related to the human brain, he found some special cases.

One such case involved an autistic woman who was born naturally in the ordinary world. Doctors and researchers, with the help of Eden’s medical extension robots, have built nanorobots with the intention of using them to fix problems such as abnormal brain development and an undersized corpus callosum caused by genetic defects. Those researchers took DNA samples from patients, compared them with maternal and paternal DNA, and first used a large number of nanorobots to carry DNA into the patient’s body to repair abnormal chromosomes in the nuclei of all cells throughout the body. In this way, when the nerve cells divide and replicate again, there will be no more problematic cells that cause the deformity to appear again.

They then used a second wave of nanorobots to focus on specific parts of the patient’s brain, making the patient’s brain think it was back in its infancy and began to develop again. Dysplastic cells are metabolized in a short period of time, and after a period of time, the volume of the corpus callosum of the patient is significantly increased, and the excess white matter is also reduced. According to the observation of the nurse, the patient has a smoother and smoother response to external stimuli.

But in later observations, as more and more deformed cells were metabolized out of the body, the patient’s brain gradually shrunk back to normal size, and the volume of the corpus callosum increased. They noticed that the patient’s ability to communicate with people around them recovered extremely quickly, even to the point of Later, it began to surpass the ability of ordinary people to communicate with others, and became highly susceptible to the influence of other people’s emotions or opinions, and the personality also underwent dramatic changes. The patient often complained of feeling very lonely, very much wanting to communicate with people but not always satisfied, and then began to have symptoms of depression, which only eased slightly after installing chords to connect to the Eden network.

There are also several similar examples of treating brain malformations, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, brain atrophy, Down’s syndrome, etc… Many have abnormalities involving the corpus callosum. After the tinkering is done, people have more or less personality changes. But in most cases, these changes are considered positive, such as quitting smoking and drinking, becoming helpful and cheerful, becoming religious, etc.

Corpus callosum… Zhang Xun annotated that word.

A bundle that connects the left and right hemispheres and extends into all parts of the brain, like a cobweb of tissue that integrates different areas of the entire brain.

Perhaps more data on this area should be collected. Zhang Xun thought so.

……………………………………………………

Todd came out of his house in the early morning, stretched, and looked a little lazily at the undulating mountain shadows in the wilderness. A round of rising sun came out. He stretched his muscles and moved his neck, which was a little stiff from sleep, but when he turned his head, he saw a figure sitting on the hood of a scrapped jeep not far away, smoking a cigarette silently.

Todd walked over, leaned against the door, and made a big noise. James, however, did not turn his back on him.

“Get up so early?” Todd asked.

James exhaled and glanced back at him. “I’m used to getting up early.”

“What are you doing in Paradise Lost? Soldier?”

“Hunter.”

“Ah. I’ve heard that, it’s equivalent to picking up rubbish?”

James raised his brows and glanced sideways at the red-haired man who liked to find fault with him when he had nothing to do. Todd’s appearance is actually very handsome, the kind of handsome with a little evil spirit. It’s a pity that the shoulders are too tall and the shoulders are too wide, not his type.

But when they fought together before, they cooperated very well.

“I’m a rubbish picker, and you’re a robber, that sounds like a perfect match,” James sneered, looking at Todd with his deep, fascinated brown eyes of countless young men.

Todd raised the corners of his mouth and brushed away the long red hair that had been blown in front of his eyes by the wind, “What’s it like in Paradise Lost?”

“…You may not believe it, but I don’t think it’s much different from the ordinary world. Except that there are not so many bells and whistles.” James pressed the cigarette butt out on the hood, “But Paradise Lost is different now.”

“Why is it different.”

James glanced at him and didn’t answer.

Realizing that the other party didn’t want to reveal too much, Todd propped up the car cover with his hand, sat next to James, and asked with a half-smile, “What’s your relationship with that mechanic?”

“Brother.”

“You were adopted. ”

Well, his father is like my teacher.”

“So…not a lover?”

James cleared his throat. “No.”

“Very good.” Evil.

James narrowed his eyes, “Fine?”

“Well, very good.” Todd’s dark blue eyes swept up and down James in a meaningful way, his tongue quickly brushing his parched lips, “I don’t have a lover either. Also, between men and women, I prefer same-sex.”

James felt something growing in the eyes of the two men. Tao De and Zhang Xun are completely different. There is a kind of untamed wildness exuding from the whole person. If you want anything, you have to reach out and grab it.

However, he chose to turn his eyes away and cut off the nurturing connection, after all, now is not the time to think about it. He said, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

Todd’s brows furrowed slightly, seemingly hurt and frustrated, but soon recovered. He jumped out of the car, glanced up at James, “Your loss.” Then walked away.

James found himself staring at the man’s slender legs and flexible waist wrapped in leather trousers.

For some reason, my throat felt a little thirsty.
