Zhang Xun lowered his head and pretended to concentrate on the photon gun design drawings sent to him by several mechanics, but in fact he just glued his eyes on the paper and didn't know what he was looking at.
Adam's sight on his back was like a thorn in his back.
After the odd conversation in the morning, Adam has been following him like a dog, with gauze wrapped around his head. Today is Saturday, there are only a few weekends in the lab, the workaholic mechanics and their poor assistant researchers who stay in the laboratory for a few weekends, when they meet by chance, everyone is because of Zhang Xun and Adam's head Shou asked in astonishment.
Zhang Xun's unified official answer to this is: There was a little accident at the garbage disposal plant.
"Xun, do you have a boyfriend?" Adam suddenly asked behind him.
Zhang Xun replied angrily, "I watch over you all day, do you think I have a boyfriend?"
"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" Adam continued. "I know you have a father, a good friend, and a lot of subordinates. But I've never heard you talk about your love life."
How did this artificial intelligence become an emotional expert after a concussion? Zhang Xun was a little irritable, and turned his head to stare at Adam who was hugging and stroking the alloy, "This is my private matter. You don't need to ask."
"Emotional life is a very important part of a human's life. Before gender separation, in order to keep replicating and continuing its own DNA, human body hormones will produce a series of complex chemical reactions to form love. Some people say that this chemical reaction It is just a by-product of sex behavior, and some people say that love has a very important functional role in the replication and continuation of DNA. But no matter which statement, it is agreed that for most human beings, love is important for a person to Both world awareness and character formation are significant.”
"I don't need you to teach me how to be human." Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes, a little displeased.
Adam looked at him with concern, "I just want to clarify that I have never heard or perceived your emotional life in your words so far. In fact, based on the time you spend in the Lab, I don't think you've had an emotional life for a long time."
"… "
Adam looked Zhang Xun up and down, his expression was like a mechanic looking at a broken robot, "Your appearance is good, the only drawback is that you lack developed muscles, which may not fit the aesthetic here. Your IQ should be relatively high. High, but since love has been separated from reproduction, this one may not help you to find a partner. Also, you are an introvert, you have a certain lack of paternal love, and you were bullied in your teenage years, which made you feel bad about other people. Humans lack trust. Maybe that's what…”
"Enough!" Zhang Xun threw down the document in his hand and stood up suddenly, staring at him irritably, "I said this is not your question. Have you forgotten your own identity again?"
Adam immediately said sorry and then fell silent.
Zhang Xun squeezed his eyebrows as if he had a headache, and said after a while, "Thank you for protecting me yesterday."
Adam blinked twice, "But I failed."
"For human beings, sometimes the result is not important." Zhang Xun raised his eyes to look at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but his mind was heavy on that smile, and he looked a little tired, "You know that you have yourself The risk of being seriously injured also protects me, overcomes your survival instinct, which is very precious to humans." He paused, then added, "But, it may also be because you know that if I am seriously injured, they will Maybe a new mechanic will be given to you, not a mechanic who is as 'controllable' as I am, so after weighing the pros and cons, you decide to make some sacrifices to protect me."
Adam was taken aback, as if he did not expect Zhang Xun's last words.
"Or." Zhang Xun walked towards Adam, resting his hands on the armrests on both sides of the armchair Adam was sitting on, looking at Adam with a condescending attitude. At this moment, Zhang Xun had a sharp guess in his eyes, "You deliberately encouraged me to take you to the fourth district, and deliberately walked to the dangerous area, because you wanted me to worry. You want me to see you seriously injured. appearance, which in turn allows you to have the ability to defend yourself.”
Adam looked at him quietly, no anger, no panic, no shame, "but I don't need to go around in such a big circle to convince you. I can practice secretly by myself."
"You know that if you want to gain my trust, you can't lie to me. So all decisions have to be of my own accord." Zhang Xun's tone was still calm, almost as calm as Adam's, even to the point of lack of human breath.
For a while, the two were silent. The air between them was pulled tightly, as if it were about to break at any moment.
Zhang Xun suddenly smiled slightly, and the smile almost reached his eyes, "But it doesn't matter. Control and anti-control, this is the essence of human relationships. You know human beings well, Adam."
Adam finally said, "I did it on purpose to encourage you to go to the fourth district. On the one hand, it was because of curiosity, and on the other hand, I really hoped to cause some riots, which would make you reconsider the ability to give me self-defense. After those five hostile humans, I found that I had no way of thinking as usual. Everything I did was outside my control, and I had no control over anything except the last bit of self-preservation. ."
His tone remained calm, and his expression didn't even change. But his eyes were subtly sad.
Zhang Xun straightened up and looked down at him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can allow you to learn martial arts, provided that I have more means to restrict you."
Adam was a little surprised.
Why did Zhang Xun still agree after dismantling him
"Although you are trying to manipulate me, your argument has some truth. I'm not a warrior, and I can't even protect myself in a special situation, let alone protect you." Zhang Xun said, taking the bag from his jacket pocket. A diamond-shaped chip-like metal device with several vertical and horizontal lines on it, a hole in the middle, and a very thin nano 'wire' behind it, "I will implant this tracker on your forehead. , I can know where you are and can monitor your brain wave activity and even read your data when you are in a strong mood. And I can see everything you can see through this camera hole Stuff. When necessary, I can activate the standby function through this silk probe. There will be a weak electric current here, which will temporarily overload your mechanical brain, causing you to enter a state of paralysis for up to five seconds. This overload It won't cause damage to your central cognitive modules and your long and short term memory, nor will it affect your human lobes, but it may not feel very good. Any attempt to take this device out will Trigger the paralyzing effect, making you completely enter the standby state, only when I open your skull and manually unlock it can you wake up."
Adam blinked a few more times, as if to process what he said, "You know where I am? How do you locate me?"
"The distance signal within the range of Paradise Lost can be covered. When you want to leave my control range, the standby program will be triggered automatically, and I will receive a warning at the same time." Zhang Xun paused and continued, "You don't have to do anything else. You just need to decide, do you choose to maintain the status quo, or choose to have self-defense or even attack skills, but be implanted with this device?"
Adam thought for a while and replied, "I choose the latter."
… … … … … … … … …
On Monday morning, Diego, who had just done a hundred push-ups in the morning, was putting on his vest and wiping off his sweat. When he turned his head, he saw Zhang Xun and Adam who were slowly walking towards the gate of the garbage disposal plant.
He widened his eyes.
"You two are... fighting?" He looked back and forth between the two who had bruises on their faces, "No, it can't be this serious at your level. And what's that on the robot's forehead? New jewelry ?"
Adam reached out and touched the diamond-shaped device implanted in his forehead.
Zhang Xun held up a bottle of Russian Tsarskaya whisky that the hunters had recently brought back, "I brought you a gift."
When Diego saw the bottle of wine, he couldn't see anything else, his eyes seemed to glow green, "Holy Fxxking... Where did you get it?!"
"I have my source." Zhang Xun smiled slightly, "But this is not for you, I have something to ask you."
Diego's drooling expression immediately subsided, and looked at him suspiciously, "Please me? How can I help you as a junkyard manager?"
"I checked your information. You used to be the head of the sixth hunting regiment, and then lost contact with the entire regiment during a hunting operation. About two years later, you suddenly appeared in Paradise Lost. After a series of evaluations, you may It is impossible to enter the hunting group again, but the guards still reserved a position in the army for you. It’s a pity that you have been drinking too much since then, and you have never recovered. In the end, because of drinking and making troubles, you were assigned by the military to be an administrator here. When you were the head of the regiment, you once won the championship of the fighting competition held every three years, and you are proficient in boxing, free fighting, Muay Thai and taekwondo and other fighting techniques, which are called humanoid weapons."
The more Zhang Xun said, the darker Diego's face became, "... So what? You want me to beat someone for you?"
Zhang Xun shook his head, "No, I want you to be Adam's sparring partner."
"Huh?" Diego looked at Adam, who had a distorted smile because of his swollen cheeks, "You really agree? Damn, this kid really has a trick to convince people."
Adam laughed silently.
When Diego reached out to take the vodka, Zhang Xun suddenly withdrew his hand slightly, "However, please don't tell the fourth person other than us about this. I can get it for you every month from now on. Good wine. Until Adam finishes his training."
"Okay, okay! You can say anything!"
So Adam's training is quietly carried out in the garbage disposal plant every day. While the huge machinery roared and kept sorting, Zhang Xun was sitting in the pergola, blowing the old electric fan, or reading the proposals submitted by some mechanics and the applications and design drawings that needed to be approved. Or draw some design drawings of your own ideas. James has said that the recent hunts are getting more and more dangerous, probably because the seance program has created more hostility and fear for them in the ordinary world, and the hunting group that went out last month was attacked by the mechanical police before they even left the range of Rocky Mountain. The siege led to the Round Table's decision to suspend all hunting activities. But this is not a long-term solution. Zhang Xun considered improving the body armor worn by the members of the hunting regiment, and installing a disruptive device to confuse the mechanical police’s identification of gender characteristics, perhaps reducing the chance of them being detected.
At this point, Adam gave him a lot of help, after all, the identification system of those mechanical police was designed by Eden.
I don't even know what it's like to help others deal with me...
He looked up and saw Diego taking off his shirt under the bright sun, revealing his strong bronzed skin, sweating profusely but confronting his opponent with excitement. Adam, on the other hand, was soaked in sweat, his blond hair stuck to his cheeks. But he narrowed his blue eyes, lowered his body, and moved his steps slowly, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Zhang Xun still remembered that when Diego started training on the first day, Diego asked Adam to hit the sandbag, but the sandbag flew back and knocked Adam into a bloody nose... Now, he can predict or even avoid Diego's situation. Punch, and occasionally counter with a punch or two.
Adam's physical condition is very good, and the original owner of the body has received enough strength and endurance training, so it will not be too difficult to implement the knowledge in his head now.
But now Zhang Xun has new concerns.
The one-month deadline was approaching, and he and Adam had to prepare for a full-scale psychological evaluation.
