Zhang Xun was shocked. He never expected that Eden would offer such... "generous" conditions.
Accepting a male refugee country is tantamount to acknowledging that there were mistakes in its previous strategies and propositions, which is like a sever arm for the master of a human world that will never make mistakes, and will greatly shake it in women and other non-male genders. The status and image in the minds of human beings.
Knowing that he has certain feelings for Adam, he still deliberately said such words... What is the purpose of Eden
Zhang Xun could only reluctantly accept the move, straightening his back, trying to make himself appear indestructible. Although Eden could not see him, at least he hoped that his confidence could come out of his voice, "We are free, not under your control, and do not need your forgiveness."
"Freedom? You can't even leave the 200-kilometer range of Paradise Lost. The limited arable land forces you to eat artificial meat and synthetic food. Even if you risk your life, you must send soldiers to search for supplies. The limited resources make Your social status is deeply fractured, resources are distributed extremely unevenly, and people are treated as enemies. You can't reach the wider world, like a group of frogs trapped in a well. This is not freedom."
Eden had obviously learned a lot about Paradise Lost from the captives he captured and from Feathered Serpent City.
Zhang Xun stubbornly continued to fight, "Everything in life, such as big events in life, life, old age, sickness and death, and small words and deeds in life are all being spied on and controlled by you, just because you don't believe that human beings can make decisions for themselves. Human beings It's like a group of children under your supervision, a group of animals that you trap in, isn't this freedom?"
"Although I can see everything, but I am an artificial intelligence, not a human being, I have no selfishness and desire, and I will not use the information for self-interest. As long as people's actions do not violate the law with clear provisions, I will not carry out Any interference. And as compensation, I have provided them with an absolutely superior and safe life. When everyone's privacy is deprived to the same degree, it is equivalent to not being deprived, because human beings can only recognize differences and changes, and everyone is the same Naturally, you won’t feel it when you start to feel it. People in the ordinary world have obtained freedom in the past 100 years that no human beings in the past thousands of years have ever obtained.”
There's something terrifyingly confusing about the agreement between Eden and Adam's remarks.
"If that's the case, why are you so afraid of Adam's life?" Zhang Xun tilted his head slightly as if confused, "If your so-called 'freedom' is so popular, why would anyone want to sponsor a refugee country? Why do I hear some ordinary people Relations between the nations of the world are getting tense again? Why don't you even dare to teleport yourself into a more powerful organic server? Just for fear of not being accepted? As far as I know, a good portion of women and minorities in the ordinary world are There have long been those male character traits that you demonized, indifference, irritability, short-sighted, extreme, like impulse stimulation... They, like us, can't stand peace and absolute equality. You spend so much effort to drive men out of the ordinary The world has not achieved your ultimate goal."
Eden was not affected by the irony in his tone, and continued to say calmly, "My goal is a process of eternal approach. With my existence, human beings can avoid being led to nuclear war and destruction by their own wrong decisions. It is also very understandable that you do not believe that I can give happiness to human beings and that I can give you happiness. In this case, I am willing to show you what it means to accept me and return to the ordinary world ."
As soon as the voice fell, a window appeared on the screen like a window in front of Zhang Xun, requesting to transmit images to each other.
Zhang Xun hesitated.
Adam said that Eden could unconsciously hypnotize humans through visual images and influence human decisions. Should he accept it
But if visual distraction can be used, sound presumably has the same effect, which may be why Eden chose to speak to Adam in his voice. That being the case, there is no turning back at this time.
He chose "Accept".
The surrounding screens suddenly turned blank at the same time. That lustrous, life-like luster, like the light radiating from the icosahedron.
Gradually, a figure emerged from that white halo.
It was a man, a man lying in bed. Zhang Xun looked at him from a downward angle, but a chill went down his back.
That man is himself.
"Zhang Xun" on the screen is gradually waking up. The sunlight poured in from the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, filtered by the glass, and only a soft and harmless faint light fell on his face. He reached out and rubbed his eyes, turned over, and didn't seem to want to get up.
"Zhang Xun, the time is now seven o'clock in the morning. The weather is sunny and cloudy today, and the temperature is 18 degrees Celsius."
The gentle and elegant female voice is one of the voice channels of Alex, the AI housekeeper designed by Eden.
Zhang Xun sat up reluctantly and found that the clothes for work today had been prepared by the housework robot controlled by Alex. The aroma of coffee and fried eggs wafting from the kitchen lifted his spirits a little. As he washes up, the mirror quickly shows Alex's to-do list for him along with today's headlines. He rinsed his mouth and browsed carelessly, shaved quickly, checked the time, and rushed to the kitchen. A rich and balanced breakfast is already on the table. When he finished eating, the self-driving car sent by the urban transportation planning AI-Ross had arrived at his door.
The body with smooth lines is clean to spotless. Every day, the car is sent to the fully automatic maintenance factory for thorough cleaning and disinfection, so there is no need to worry about other passengers leaving a mess of vomit. There is no accelerator, no steering wheel, just a touchscreen and audio. Zhang Xun chose the light music he liked, closed his eyes and meditated for a while. He's taking a few grad students to test the new space station colony robot today, and there's a lot to consider.
The city passing by outside the car is clean and bright, all the buildings have a distinct sense of coldness and dustiness, and the plants are just right dotted on the sidewalks. Since there are no more human-driven vehicles, all vehicles are uniformly controlled by Ross, Eden's subsystem, so there have been no car accidents for decades, and traffic jams are even more unheard of. The daily fixed monthly rent of these cars is also very cheap. If you want cheaper, you can share the ride with other passengers, but Zhang Xun likes quiet in the morning, so he always chooses the morning and evening single box package.
There were also two rows of vehicles swept across the sky, tires stowed away and replaced with jet vents.
The university where Zhang Xun works still retains the old architectural style, like a Victorian castle standing in a rose garden. The first class in the morning has started, but there are not many students. More and more college students choose to study at home with AI professors at universities, and only those graduate students, doctoral students and professors who need to use laboratory materials need to come in person. Zhang Xun got out of the car and walked up the stairs briskly. As soon as I entered the door, I heard a call from Qingyue, "Xun, good morning!"
Zhang Xun's heart skipped a beat, filled with endless joy. When he turned his head, he saw Adam... or a replica of Adam, leaning against a post with his hands in his pockets, raising a pure smile at him.
Adam's mind carried an incomplete copy of Eden, his body cloned from the dead first version of Adam. Nowadays, many people choose to customize such a compound person to create a "soul mate" that perfectly fits with themselves in every way. Marriage with AI has been legalized, and many people have even begun to replace their bodies little by little, turning themselves into machines so that they can live forever with their beloved AI.
Zhang Xun looked at his lover and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you come last night?"
"I'm going. But you're too tired and already asleep. I didn't want to disturb you, so I left quietly." Adam said in a wronged tone, walking towards him slowly, holding Zhang Xun's cheeks with both hands, gave him a deep kiss.
And Zhang Xun, of course, raised his head and responded, as if this was a natural thing.
"Xun, today is Friday. Let's go to the movies after get off work! It's that new thriller, it seems to be called the last space station."
"Movies? I'm afraid you already have them in your database..."
"Yes, but I haven't seen it with human eyes~"
Zhang Xun laughed softly, he couldn't refuse any of Adam's requests, "Okay, if I can get off work on time today."
"With me here, you can definitely get off work on time!"
Huge laboratory, loaded with equipment, materials, 3D printers that you can't think of but you can't find... Projection computers are everywhere, you can access the knowledge base shared by the whole world at any time, browse and search all saved from the past to the present Knowledge. With so many documents and books, even with the assistance of learning AI Athena, it is impossible to read all the materials of a certain subject. So more and more people are starting to upgrade their brains so that they can download all data to the "hard disk" of their brains like artificial intelligence. No need to memorize anything anymore, everyone can become as smart and powerful as Ai.
Zhang Xun has not carried out such a transformation yet, but he plans to put the transformation on the agenda after the completion of this project. He found more and more that even a rare mechanical genius would be at a disadvantage to compete with those who have been transformed and upgraded. Recently, he and Adam have been browsing the prices of various modifications on the Human Evolution app, imagining what they could become.
"Why don't you upload your consciousness into my consciousness?" Adam asked him one time, in a probing way. "In this way, we can be together forever."
forever…
Such a concept used to be just a romantic imagination for human beings. But now, it is gradually becoming a choice, a reality.
But Zhang Xun still couldn't accept losing his independence. Without the ego, does he not exist
Adam felt his nervousness and discomfort, and thoughtfully didn't mention it again.
His colleague Lilian came towards him, with a beautiful face and flying red hair, but almost all of his body was transformed into some kind of organic alloy material. She greeted him and Adam warmly, "My favorite little couple, what are your plans this weekend?"
"Watching a movie." Zhang Xun smiled, "Where are you and Albert?"
"He's definitely going to drag me to climb the mountain again. I really don't know why their police officers like outdoor sports so much. I'm exhausted from working so hard every day. I just want to lie down when I get home..." Lillian complained, Suddenly the topic changed, "By the way, I have an idea about the visual error that may be caused by the special results of the space station..."
From here, Zhang Xun devoted himself to a day's work, so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. At five o'clock in the afternoon, he finally submitted his report and could go home with Adam.
As agreed, they went to an open-air drive-in movie in a retro car and ate a belly of popcorn. After they went home together, Adam cooked a comfortable dinner himself, while Zhang Xun sat on the bar and watched Adam busy. A faint sense of comfort, a sense of completeness similar to happiness, permeated his heart.
"Adam, you can stay with me from now on." Zhang Xun said suddenly.
Adam turned to look at him in astonishment. "Are you sure? You don't want private space?"
"You are a part of Eden, and you know best that there is no such thing as a so-called private space." Zhang Xun said, but he lowered his head as if he was a little uncomfortable, "Of course, if you don't want to, you don't..."
"I'm glad you asked me!" Adam's eyes sparkled, "I'd love to!"
After he finished speaking, like a real human, he excitedly walked around the bar and hugged Zhang Xun tightly.
At this moment, even if he knew that this was not the original Adam, even if he knew that this was a copy, Zhang Xun still felt a similar throbbing and warmth. The same source code, the same DNA, and what is the difference between the original
However, it was here that Zhang Xun suddenly woke up from the dream woven by Eden.
He closed his eyes forcefully and stopped looking at a fantasy with him as the protagonist. He said coldly, "Okay, I don't need to watch it anymore."
Then the image disappeared, and it returned to a state of being painted in white again.
Eden whispered, "This kind of life, as long as you want, you can have it."
Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, chuckled lightly, raised his head, and said in the direction of the camera, "It is indeed a beautiful dream, you almost convinced me that I really want that kind of life. However, you are not human after all, you I don't understand one thing."
Zhang Xun paused and continued, "For human beings, it is impossible for an individual to be copied. Even if every piece of DNA code is exactly the same, even if we can't distinguish the authenticity from the fake. But for us, it is still Not the same. Totally different."
The persistence that belongs to humans, which AI will never understand.
