Bionic Era

Chapter 100: Think that you are human

Views:

A very long argument.

In the end, no one can convince anyone.

In fact, at that time, we had not yet figured out how to give humanoids human nature. The so-called human nature was only a very vague concept.

Lu Wen looked at this quarrel across time and space, unable to feel the joys and sorrows of that era.

Dr. Lan He: "That's it. They are all machines anyway. They can't really learn to think for themselves. You can do whatever you want!"

It seems like a compromise.

But in the design and manufacturing process, Dr. Blue River still dominates.

It was under that circumstance that A00 was born.

The projection stops abruptly here.

"This projection is to tell me how the androids were born?"

Lu Wen pondered for a moment, still digesting what he had seen before.

The second projection content begins.

This time there is only one protagonist.

Engineer Yin Mu.

At this time, he was already looking old, and his temples were gray.

Fifteen years passed between this video and the first one.

Yin Mu stood in front of the glass window of a high-rise building and was looking down. There were already many bionic figures on the street.

Lu Wen could tell that the androids in the video were all second-generation products.

There are blue ones and core red ones.

Engineer Yin Mu whispered to himself: "Whether it is the internal design or the appearance, it is very close to human beings, but it always feels like there is something missing... What is the difference?"

After Dr. Lan He founded the company, he was busy with various matters every day.

Therefore, the design and development of bionic humans are led by Engineer Yin Mu.

In the past ten years or so, he has improved the first-generation products again and again, releasing some second-generation concept phones every one or two years, and letting some Bilan fans use them.

But the feedback was not ideal.

Although the second-generation product finally released was well received, Engineer Yin Mu was not satisfied.

He always felt that it was not enough.

"Xiaolong, how do you feel about your recent internship in the company?"

Yin Mu spoke.

There was no second person in the projection, but there was still a sound coming out.

"I've almost learned it, it's just some very simple knowledge."

Yin Mu nodded happily.

His son, Yin Long, is extremely talented in designing androids, no less talented than he was when he was young.

After only two months of internship, someone in the company has already said that Yin Long can definitely take over his position and become Bilan's chief engineer.

"Even if my generation cannot perfect the design of bionic humans, Xiaolong's generation still has hope." Engineer Yin Mu said to himself, with both relief and sadness in his voice.

"Do the so-called awakened androids really have self-awareness?"

The video ends here.

Without giving Lu Wen much time, the third video started.

The protagonist this time is still Engineer Yin Mu.

He is really old and needs help to move.

Another twenty years passed between this video and the previous one.

At this time, the third generation of products has been released.

There are already a certain proportion of bionic people on the streets.

It was also from this time that people began to realize that these increasingly humanoid androids seemed to be... gradually taking away their jobs.

"Sir, another demonstration broke out recently to protest against our efforts to make bionic humans too intelligent. Many people have lost their jobs because they cannot compete with bionic humans."

"There is another piece of news that is not good for us. More and more androids are awakening now. I heard that many androids have formed organizations in no-man's land."

The third generation faces the greatest pressure.

That was also the first time on record that Blue and Core Red had joined forces.

At that time, the two companies were not big enough to ignore the various protests from the outside world.

The two families seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding during that difficult time, and they were unanimous in dealing with the outside world and jointly coping with pressure from all walks of life. Their respective legal departments were also growing crazily.

"Is it too smart?" Yin Mu smiled, his old face full of wrinkles, "But I still feel it's not enough... What's the difference?"

"Awakening? Will they think for themselves after awakening? Why do some androids still have a big gap with humans after awakening?"

The first generation product has already provided a learning chip.

Let the bionic man continue to learn human demeanor, movements, language habits, etc. The longer a bionic man survives, the closer he will be to humans.

But Yin Mu always had regrets in his heart.

"No matter how long they study, they are only getting closer to humans little by little. What can we do to make them completely indistinguishable from humans? Whether it is overall or details..."

Another regret comes from his children.

Yin Long has been an engineer in Bilan for several years and is about to take over Yin Mu's position.

But he finally left Bilan and chose the path of writing.

The father and son had a quarrel that day.

Since then, it has not been seen again.

"Xiaolong... how is he doing recently?" Yin Mu asked the assistant.

"Don't worry, old man. He is now a well-known writer and has appeared on several TV shows. His books are sold in major bookstores," the assistant comforted.

"Look, he is indeed my son. He can look good no matter what he does!"

Yin Mu smiled happily, really happy.

Not long after, he collapsed.

Bilan devoted its entire company's capabilities to inviting prestigious doctors from nine major cities to diagnose and treat him.

But he is really old.

Everyone has to go through birth, old age, illness and death.

The doctors could only try their best to extend the old man's life and ask him if he had any regrets.

Countless Bilan employees have come to visit and brought countless blessings.

Dr. Blue River has also arrived, and his lifespan is running out.

Two old people, one lying on a hospital bed and the other in a wheelchair.

They were overworked when they were young and overdrawn their lives, so they were destined not to live a long life.

An era slowly comes to an end.

"A00 came to see me." Dr. Lan He said.

"She...did she leave on her own? I thought she was stolen by Xin Hong." Yin Mu smiled, and the biggest doubt in his heart was finally revealed.

"But the rise of Xinhong does have something to do with her. Speaking of which, she may be your most perfect product."

The two old men recalled the past in the ward.

The dusk light shines dimly through the glass window of the ward.

Before it got completely dark, a middle-aged man walked into the hospital.

Yin Long in middle age.

He knocked lightly on the ward door.

Dr. Lan He nodded slightly, smiled, started the wheelchair and left the ward.

Leave the last moments of an old friend to his children.

"I thought you wouldn't come." On the hospital bed, Yin Mu was already very weak.

"You have to come here after all. After all, you still have a regret in your heart." Yin Long said.

The last regret in Yin Mu's heart.

He never found a way to give humanity to androids.

"Have you found a way yet?"

"Yes, actually I thought of it a long time ago." Yin Long held his father's old and feeble hand and spoke slowly, "Instead of letting androids learn to imitate humans, it is better to let them...think that they are humans from the beginning. "
