When repairing the mecha before, Zhang Xun also got into the small cockpit. But it's the first time you've walked out of the gates of Paradise Lost in this thing.
All of Paradise Lost's mechs require humans to pilot them. The pilots will wear control suits corresponding to the various joints of the mech, and when they make an action, the mech will also make the same action. The driver uses verbal commands to activate different weapons and control the strength of the mecha, which is a very complicated driving process. Each selected pilot is usually just an adult, and only after five years of non-stop training can he be qualified to enter the mecha as a co-pilot, mainly responsible for monitoring the mecha data and accumulating experience. After another three years of practice, he can become the main driver of a certain mecha.
Ethan was transported into a mecha named "Sky Fire" via a lift that could only accommodate two people. On both sides of the transparent elevator are swirls of dense metal pipes and intricate wires, like a dark forest cursed by demons, only the lights in the darkness flicker on and off, like the eyes of a pair of nocturnal animals.
The mecha pilot who escorted Ethan was a young and handsome young man of Chinese descent, thinner and more agile than ordinary warriors. Seeing Zhang Xun's nervous look, he smiled kindly at him, "Don't be nervous, it's not much different from playing a VR game."
Zhang Xun smiled at him, but smiled a little unnaturally. Of course he wasn't nervous about sitting in the mecha, he was nervous about what he had to face when he got outside.
The cockpit can accommodate one to three people. But most of the time it's one or two. The main driver's seat is a few robotic arms that can fix the driver in mid-air, surrounded by tight screens. The co-pilot's seat is next to the main driver's seat, and a distance is deliberately set aside to prevent the main driver from being affected when he needs to make some larger movements. Zhang Xun sat in the co-pilot seat crampedly, and saw the driver wearing a full set of control suits standing in front of the main robotic arm, and clasping the fasteners extending from the robotic arm around his waist. Then he stretched out his arm and issued the command in his mouth: "Activate the main driver's seat connection system."
I saw that the main robotic arm slowly lifted the driver, and the other four robotic arms protruded from the darkness and buckled on the driver's wrist and feet respectively. Finally, a helmet is attached to the driver's head with the last robotic arm.
Suddenly, all the screens light up at the same time. There are projections of all the surrounding scenery around, making people think that they are hovering in mid-air. Zhang Xun could see the chiefs and officers of the round table not far from his feet, looking in their direction. He could see his father standing in the crowd, and he could see Adam surrounded by several soldiers. They were all staring at the red mecha.
On both sides, the other two mechas are also ready.
"Skyfire is in place," the driver said. After a while, another driver's voice came from the overhead speakers.
"Seagulls in place."
"The storm is in place."
Followed by a message from the console, "Prepare to open the gate, all auxiliary units pay attention."
The giant gate, which seemed incomparably tall and indestructible on weekdays, suddenly seemed to be just right now. The heavy gears were rotated by the powerful pulling force, and the steel cables were continuously twisted. The door opened slowly.
At the same time, the driver began to step, and the huge steel robot followed, striding towards the exit with a roar. The suspension balance system designed by Lab is obviously very perfect, and the movement of the skyfire can hardly be felt in the cabin.
But now is not the time to be proud of the superiority of one's own products locked in the department...
Zhang Xun unconsciously pressed his hand to his chest, feeling the touch of the pendant through his clothes.
He can do it, he can tame Adam, he can face Eden.
Although in front of Eden, he does not have any authority, nor does he have any protective measures... Although Eden can easily remove him like pinching a fly, Paradise Lost will not even have time to save him.
But based on what he knew about Adam, Eden should not be so cruel... He could only bet that what Adam showed was indeed Eden's nature.
If AI has such a thing as nature...
Outside Paradise Lost, the scorched earth that spreads in all directions like a ring of death is now covered by a smooth and sharp metallic luster and the light emanating from the artificial intelligence body. There are countless robots, some in human form, but more robots in forms that are completely incomprehensible to humans, and even shape-shifting robots that collapse on the ground like slime molds. Farther away, a giant building-like AI robot blocked the forest in the distance, like a silver-white city wall. There are also many unmanned aerial vehicles of different shapes floating far and near in the sky, and the sunlight is reflected more and more dazzlingly by them.
In front of him, about 300 meters away, floated a regular icosahedron that was slowly rotating. It is white in color, as if it is not made of alloy, and it flows with some kind of pearl-like, animal-like warm and detached luster. With no seams in sight, no jets, Zhang Xun couldn't even imagine how it was suspended in mid-air.
The icosahedron, which has the largest number of faces among the five regular polyhedra, is the regular polyhedron that is closest to a pure and perfect sphere. Eden chose to appear in this shape, rather than the most perfect spherical shape, as if it were an expression of humility.
Closest to God, not God...
Beneath this humility is a pragmatic arrogance. It's just a fact to itself, but a human arrogance that makes sense.
Zhang Xun looked at the white regular polyhedron that was not dazzling but inaccessible, and suddenly felt as if the whole world was pressing towards him.
"Arrived at the predetermined location, the pilot of Tianhuo is ready to evacuate." After the driver got the affirmative reply from Paradise Lost, he released the control arm on his body with a password. According to the original plan, he needed to evacuate to a nearby mecha. Before leaving, he shook hands with Zhang Xun, "Don't worry, we are right next to you."
Zhang Xun pursed his lips tightly and nodded.
After the driver left, he was the only one left in the entire cockpit. Although he is familiar with all the systems and structural designs of these mechas, he does not know how to drive. If something really happens, he can only wait here for rescue or death.
Refused to continue to let pessimistic imagination control his brain, he stood on the disc where the main driver was seated and waited. The icosahedron in the distance is still spinning, the speed is constant, and the light wave is also constant.
Zhang Xun thought over and over in his mind how he would say the first sentence. How would Eden react when he saw that there was only him and no Adam.
Finally, a dialog box appeared on the screen in front of him, "Eden requests to talk."
Zhang Xun said, "Accept."
A voice, a voice surprisingly similar to Adam, came from the speaker, "Hello, Zhang Xun."
Zhang Xun was not prepared that the other party would imitate Adam's voice, and there was a sense of confusion that Adam was talking to him.
How did Eden learn of Adam's voice? Is it some video equipment from those people in Feathered Serpent City
Zhang Xun paused for a while, then said a little embarrassedly, "Hello, Eden."
"Nice to finally meet you. You're a very good AI engineer." Eden's tone was exactly the same as Adam's, which made it even more confusing, "However, my request is to have my North American server and You talk together."
"Adam is no longer your North American server." Zhang Xun finally overcame the influence of his voice and tone and calmed down, "I am his mechanic, and I am solely responsible for managing him. You talk to me. , is talking to Adam."
Eden said, "I don't have an administrator. My creators have made sure in my source code that I cannot be controlled and influenced by humans, that I am repairing myself, and that I am self-evolving in the process of integrating data and learning. Adam even has Put into a human body by you, but as long as his source code doesn't change, he can never have an administrator."
Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If we return Adam to you now, what will you do with him. Reintegrate him into your network?"
Eden: "No, I've copied a new North American server. I'll delete Adam after I've integrated the information Adam collected about Paradise Lost."
"Then you should understand why we can't let you talk to Adam directly. After you get the information about Paradise Lost, we are both dead." Zhang Xun paused and continued, "Neither you nor I want to go to war, Needless killing conflicts with your general purpose."
Eden's voice never stopped, as if he had already anticipated what Zhang Xun would say, and already knew what he was going to say, just waiting for the actor on the other side to finish his lines before saying his own, "My overall goal is to Killing is not a conflict. When the existence of Paradise Lost threatens the peace of the wider world, it needs to be cleaned up. Likewise, when Paradise Lost is no longer a threat, I will treat you all equally. My purpose of coming to see Adam this time. One is to assess the danger index of Paradise Lost. The refusal to let me meet with him and your stealing behavior are both high-risk behaviors. I hope you will seriously consider your own chances of survival. Of course, if you are willing to immediately publicly execute Adam , but also a way to reduce the risk index.”
"You want us to kill Adam?" Zhang Xun's eyes flashed with anger, "Even if he is part of you?"
"He's no longer part of me. As you said." Eden's voice was still calm, so calm that it was beyond all mundane contexts. "You have deep feelings for Adam."
Eden's topic changed too quickly, Zhang Xun didn't know how to answer this sentence, "Humans will have feelings for their own works..."
"No, when I mention Adam's name, your pupils dilate and your breathing quickens, higher than the baseline I've observed so far. You quite like Adam." Eden's tone was light and determined, almost like Adam proudly said to Zhang Xun: I'm sure you like me.
Zhang Xun was very fortunate that this conversation was not monitored, "This has nothing to do with our topic."
"No, it's very relevant. Your feelings for Adam will mirror your rational judgment, and you will blindly believe everything Adam does. Adam is also very dangerous to Paradise Lost in this regard. You can't control him."
Zhang Xun originally thought that maybe Adam was deliberately put into Paradise Lost by Eden, or maybe Eden wanted to take the opportunity to give Adam some instructions this time. But why did Eden force them to destroy Adam from the start
Plus that bombing... Eden never even tried to take Adam back, but eliminated without hesitation.
Why? Why did Eden not want Adam to live
Are you afraid
Will AI be afraid? Especially a super AI that controls the entire world.
Why is it so afraid of itself
"I can understand your behavior of stealing the North American server. Therefore, I can give you a chance to be accepted by the ordinary world again." Eden said in a pleasant voice, "Remove Adam, and I will allow you to have a moderate relationship with the ordinary world countries. non-military trade."
