"arrive."

The taxi stopped at Baida Plaza in the city center.

The sky is still gray.

I don't know if it's fog or haze that envelopes the whole city.

Dazzling neon lights flashed in the dim steel buildings. Most people and the androids did not have much expression. They looked like busy ants in the bustling city, with only the sound of cars passing by.

“Buy wallpaper first, then look around and learn more.”

This is a rare opportunity.

Lu Wen must make good use of it.

He now needs to understand the fuse mechanism as soon as possible and find a way to escape!

The original functional chip also integrated most of the world's maps.

Lu Wen also has networking capabilities.

Maps can be updated.

But every time he does something online, it will be transmitted to Li Yu's mobile phone. If there is anything unusual, Li Yu can notify Bilan Company to take him away and restart it.

"These engineers also took great pains to prevent the androids from awakening."

Just now I was sitting in a taxi and saw the news about the awakening of androids.

Only Lu Wen knew.

As long as he is connected to the Internet, the employer can directly restart him with one click through his mobile phone without the android having to violate the Seven Laws. As long as the employer is in a bad mood, he can take it out on the android and then restart as if nothing happened. .

"The living environment of androids is terrible!"

Lu Wen felt that these androids were worse than the oppressed slaves of the old era.

It's really uncomfortable to feel like your life is being held in someone else's hands.

Of course, apart from him, whether other androids are considered living beings is still a question.

"Tick tock..."

It's raining.

Fine raindrops fell from the sky and hit the surface of Lu Wen's biological material, making a sound like some uncoordinated sonata.

The world becomes fuzzier.

Just like the abstract oil paintings in the hands of artists in the old days, the whole world looks like a deformed beauty.

"Get away, you plastics!"

"Shattered metal!"

There were people standing on various street corners and intersections holding signs.

Whenever an android passes by, they will step forward to verbally abuse them, or they will directly attack them.

They're trying to get the androids to fight back.

Once he fights back, the android violates the first law of not harming humans and will immediately die.

At this time, the people around will laugh with satisfaction.

"These people really have a lot of time to spare."

Sensors capture a scene.

A red-core android was kicked in the abdomen. He held his stomach and took a few steps back. Anger appeared on his face. He rushed forward and raised his fist. Before he could swing it, he fell straight down.

crash.

A burst of laughter.

the other side.

A blue android fell to the ground and was kicked and beaten by a group of people.

Perhaps it was due to programming, but he didn't fight back.

But Lu Wen clearly saw it, and there was a look of pain on his face.

It’s not that you can’t fight back, it’s that you don’t dare!

"Gan!"

Lu Wen's original functional chip integrates many wonderful words.

For example, taking a selfie is a family photo.

But he didn't dare to go directly to the line, otherwise he could easily be regarded as an awakened android.

He was reborn in a body full of constraints!

"The entrance to the underground mall is through two guys holding signs."

Lu Wen thought for a while.

Let's go in through another entrance.

This isn't cowardice, it's just that he doesn't want to get into trouble now.

Many of these guys are people whose jobs were taken away by bionics, and they have grievances in their hearts. Moreover, beating bionics is a normal behavior for citizens according to the laws of this world!

"Needs a detour."

Lu Wen turned around and walked towards the other side.

On the streets, the ratio of humans to androids is roughly equal.

Almost all of them are blue and red androids.

Apart from these two companies, no other company has developed a bionic human that passed the Turing test in the past eighty years.

However, Bilan has always claimed that Xinhong stole their prototype A00, and then developed their own bionic man.

Many people are convinced. After all, Blue was established two weeks earlier than Core Red.

"My information shows that Bilan and Xinhong have fought hundreds of lawsuits in the past eighty years. The legal departments of these two companies must have gone crazy."

I have been doing housework before.

Now that he has a little free time, Lu Wen checks the data in his original functional chip bit by bit.

It is worth mentioning that although it is two weeks late, Xinhong's current development is obviously better than that of Bilan, and the company's overall valuation is 1.3 times that of Bilan.

"It's easy to tell the difference between the two bionics. The electronic bracelet on the left hand that flashes blue is the blue bionic, and the one that flashes red is the red bionic."

Except for the electronic bracelets on their hands, these androids are really indistinguishable from humans.

At least that's how it looks and feels.

Since it passed the Turing test, there will be no problems in daily communication.

"Boom"

A bolt of thunder flashed across the low-pressure sky.

It illuminates this dark world for an instant.

The rain suddenly changed and it poured heavily. Black umbrellas bloomed in the square like black lotuses.

Along with the thunder, there was another sound.

It was the sound of bullets flying out of the gun barrel and the glass shattering instantly, but it was suppressed by the thunder and no one noticed.

Some of the androids raised their heads. The sensors in the androids' ears were more sensitive than those in humans.

Lu Wen also noticed.

He looked up.

"boom!"

There was another gunshot.

Lu Wen followed the sound and looked over.

That's a tall office building on the left side of the square.

Fifth floor!

"boom!"

On the fifth floor of the office building, facing the square, a piece of glass shattered.

Scattered glass shards fell from the sky, like broken crystals, mixed in the rain.

Fortunately, humans and most androids now hold umbrellas.

Humans hold umbrellas because they are afraid of getting caught in the rain, and androids hold umbrellas because they are programmed to be closer to human behavior. Lu Wen did not hold an umbrella, he did not bring an umbrella.

But the place where the glass shattered was far away from him, separated by half a square.

"Bang-bang-"

Two more shots rang out.

At this moment, many people also discovered what was going on there.

Some people walked away, while others wanted to watch the excitement, so they asked their bionic people to stand in front of them, while they looked up and watched.

"E24-0007474741, you have no way to escape, put down your weapons!"

A cold voice came from the fifth floor.

The heavy rain hit the ground, covering up the sound.

But Lu Wen still heard it.

Something moved in his heart.

"E24-0007474741? Isn't this the android in the news just now whose circuit breaker failed and violated the principles of the android but did not crash?"

Awakening? !

Do these so-called awakened androids really have self-awareness

While he was thinking, another thunderstorm struck the earth like a halberd tearing through the sky.

In the flash of lightning, a burly figure jumped down from the fifth floor of the office building, like a free-flying eagle.
