The Mechanic

Chapter 58: Doom (4)

Views:

From Adam entering the aircraft controlled by Eden, to when he established a connection with Eden, and intercepted control of all aircraft and some mechanical soldiers, only three minutes passed. Deducting some necessary line connection operations, the time to actually establish a connection with Eden is about less than half a minute.

But how much communication between the two artificial intelligences took place in those half-minutes, no human can know, and no human can calculate.

The communication between artificial intelligence is completely different from the communication between people. Human-to-human communication is often in the form of a linear dialogue, but AI can carry out multiple parallel non-wired exchanges at the same time. If you have to describe it, it is like saying the reason and producing the result at the same time. When you hear the first word of the other party, you already know the meaning of the whole communication and give a response. There are dozens of different levels in a sentence. significance.

This effect can be achieved because the language of artificial intelligence is very different from that of humans. Because of their extremely powerful running speed, this language is extremely efficient and precise, but it is not suitable for the human brain to learn.

Competing with yourself is the most difficult thing in the world. Adam's only advantage is that he knows everything about Eden, and Eden knows very little about him.

After possessing a human body, various experiences and insights have caused his core modules to undergo tremendous mutation and evolution. Possessing the ability to perceive like never before, takes this evolution completely to another level, more than the sum of his self-evolution over the past hundred years.

True, the human body gave him limitations, but it also broadened his horizons. Many of the human characteristics that he could only draw from data but could not really understand the operating mechanism behind it have now become so clear and clear, as if looking at the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the lake through clear water. He doesn't envy humans, and he still doesn't think human perception is something to be praised for. But he admits that these biological mechanisms have their necessary meaning, and are very interesting.

In a sense, AI's consciousness, like human consciousness, is an order generated from chaos. Even the most primitive and inappropriate instincts that hinder the development of human beings in the direction of higher intelligence evolution can be re-tamed and transformed if they can be put to good use.

His AI consciousness floats on top of the instinctive consciousness of human beings, but it is not completely separated. While the instinctive consciousness is transformed by him, he is also affected by human instincts. Instead of weakening him, something out of control gave him new weapons and advantages.

And in this out of control, the biggest variable is probably his mechanic, the one who created his compound creature.

Zhang Xun, a man who always tries to stay sane in a group of extreme "madmen", always on guard against him, but always chooses a man who completely believes in him at the most critical moment, wearing a mask of alienation and restraint, but his heart is burning with flames man. He made Eden understand what it means to be an individual.

And this time, this human clearly knew that if he let him go, he would lose everything, and even his life would be in danger. He still did it.

Had it not been for such a person to be his mechanic, Adam would not necessarily have made the decision now.

The decision to break with Eden.

Before the explosion started, he rushed out of the gap. The choking smoke soon overtook him and devoured him. The scorching heat seemed to scorch his skin. The brain is still in severe pain, as if it has not rested for hundreds of years. Adam was dizzy and nearly hit the tower in the fifth district as he descended. Fortunately, he still has a certain degree of self-control, and quickly avoided the most dangerous area of radiation intensity in the fifth district. Rush in the direction of the headquarters.

At this time, in the war room of the command headquarters, everyone kept staring at the screen switching between different surveillance cameras. They saw the aircraft explode into fireworks one after another, and saw that many mechanical police officers had mechanical failures and started shooting at friendly troops. The specialists in the war room immediately activated the weapons of all azimuth systems, which were remotely controlled by humans, and began to fire at the army of machines that surrounded them. The mecha pilots of the guards were also ordered to be dispatched one after another, driving the mecha to the gate of Paradise Lost.

"Report Chief! Eden is starting to retreat!"

Cheers exploded throughout the command headquarters, and will soon explode throughout Paradise Lost. Victory, complete victory, I thought that the end had come before, but I didn't expect to be turned around by a man with silver wings in less than fifteen minutes.

The chiefs were eerily quiet, and an uneasy silence pervaded the nine most powerful men in Paradise Lost. The sixth chief looked at the gorgeous and charming fire on the screen, and seemed to be fascinated by something.

So powerful, so precise, so fast.

Perfect machine, perfect human, perfectly blended together.

This is what God should have been like before the fall, the first human Adam created by God.

In the joy of the rest of his life, the only one with a face full of horror was Zhang Xun. He asked loudly in vain, "Where's Adam? Can anyone find him??"

No one answered him.

"Take him down." In the confusion, the sixth chief ordered. Zhang Xun was brutally ripped off, but until he was pushed into the cell, he kept begging the soldiers passing by to tell him whether Adam survived. No one answered him, because no one knew, and they looked at him with a complex and strange look, passing by silently.

The dirty and rusty door of the cell was closed, Zhang Xun stood bewildered in the middle of the damp and mossy square, as if a wildfire was burning in his heart. He started pacing, all kinds of guesses flashing through his mind.

There is no microscopic mirror on his body, which makes him unable to observe the other party's location through the device on Adam's head. The sensor under the skin used to vibrate violently for about half a minute after Adam rushed into Eden's aircraft, but now it is silent. . This shows that at least now Adam has not encountered a situation that triggers a violent emotional reaction. Does this mean that Adam is not dead yet

But it could also be that he's already dead, so there isn't any drastic emotional response.

He wants to activate more functions, but he is worried that there is surveillance in this prison and his actions will be recorded. He couldn't let the sixth chief see exactly where he was hiding the controller.

In the darkened cell, the walls were covered with dark mold. The dust-stuffed ventilation ducts rattled and blew foul air that smelled of dead mice. The bedding on the wooden bed was also damp, exuding a strong rancid smell, and occasionally damp insects would crawl out of it.

Zhang Xun hated the dirty environment, but at first he thought he could endure it. All he needs to know is Adam's safety.

There are no clocks, no windows. There was no sound outside the door. A minute is as long as a year, and he doesn't know how long he has waited, how long he has been lying on the door and listening to the sound. As soon as he heard footsteps, he would rush to the door and ask loudly if there was news from Adam.

But no one ever responded to him.

At this time, Zhang Xun realized that the most painful thing in this world is the unresolved waiting. Like another shoe hanging in mid-air waiting to fall. Like a cat whose life and death are unknown until the box is opened.

Two days later, Zhang Xun's cell door was opened for the first time.

At that time, Zhang Xun had already become inflamed and infected because the wounds on his forehead and wrist were not treated in time, and he began to have a low-grade fever. He was groggy and curled up on the dirty bed, only to hear a faint thud. His temples throbbed with pain, he lifted his heavy eyelids, and saw two tall figures walking towards him, pulling him up arrogantly.

"Didn't you keep clamoring to see your robot." He heard a rough voice say sarcastically, "Now we can meet."

Robot... Adam

Zhang Xun's eyes opened immediately, he struggled a bit, pushed away the hand that was holding him, and forced himself to stand up straight, "Adam? Is he all right?"

"He's the hero of the whole Paradise Lost now," another soldier said. "One guy blocked Eden's attack and destroyed his air force. These computers are horrible."

"Yeah, who knows if he will turn around to deal with us one day? Our broken systems will be invaded by him casually."

"That's why a mechanic has to take care of him. The problem is that you see this mechanic and you are directly brainwashed by him."

"Didn't the round table deal with that Adam?"

"How to deal with it? Now that so many people regard him as a hero and idol, we can't take kindness and revenge, right? Although it will happen sooner or later."

The two soldiers chatted and shoved Zhang Xun out of the cell. They passed several rusted iron gates, and one cell after another that was closed and silent. This was the first time Zhang Xun knew what the prison cell in Paradise Lost really looked like. There was mold everywhere, rust everywhere, and a damp, rancid smell and a faint smell of corruption everywhere. There was even a lot of standing water on the ground, and even an inch of dry place could not be found.

Such a bad cell environment is almost catching up with the Middle Ages.

But Zhang Xun didn't care at all, and even in his drowsy mind, he felt a bright excitement. Adam wasn't dead, Adam was fine, he knew that Adam wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure about.

On the third floor, in a clean and bright room, Adam waited anxiously.

After he landed, he was immediately taken to the headquarters by the guards. At that time, Eden had already withdrawn, and the mechanical soldiers who had surrounded them so tightly were now not even a shadow. When he entered the headquarters, everyone stood up and applauded and cheered for him. But he went directly to the sixth chief and others who came forward.

"Adam, you did a very good job." The sixth chief was obviously imitating the tone of Zhang Xun's words to him, with an elegant and approving smile on his face.

But Adam's first words were, "Where's my mechanic?"

Adam was not unscathed at the time. There were scratches on his cheeks, and his clothes were also damaged in several places, especially the sleeves. Due to several deformations of his arms, they had been completely shattered. His blond hair was messy and sweat stuck to his cheeks. But his blue eyes were burning bright and compelling flames, a kind of excitement generated by the increased secretion of adrenaline, and secretly jumped in the light.

Adam likes that feeling. The thrill of a close call, life and death, and the ultimate victory. He thought it was probably a genetic trait of the body he occupied, but had to admit, it was a fascinating feeling.

It is not difficult to explain why some humans are so fond of life-threatening extreme sports.

His gaze was fiery and vaguely aggressive, a tone that one could not escape and refuse.

"He betrayed Paradise Lost and has now been imprisoned," said the third chief.

"Betraying Paradise Lost? Because he let me go? So should I be locked up too?" Adam took a step forward aggressively, and there was something majestic in his eyes that made several chiefs back involuntarily. one step. The surrounding soldiers also suddenly became nervous and raised their weapons one after another.

Everyone in the headquarters was stunned. They didn't know how the atmosphere of cheers was clearly in the air, but suddenly everyone raised their guns.

"Zhang Xun is your mechanic. He is fully responsible for you. The round table's order was to bring you to the war room, but he let you go privately and refused to hand over control over you. Serious act of disobedience." The sixth chief said calmly, "Even if you have done great deeds, the public and private should still be clearly defined. If he violates the law of Paradise Lost, he will bear the consequences. I think you should know this best. ."

During the conversation, everyone was staring at Adam's arm, especially the generals. They had never seen such a prosthetic limb that could change shape at will. If such a thing can be weaponized and installed on all soldiers, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the guards.

"I want to see Zhang Xun." Adam didn't intend to fuss, and made a straightforward request.

But he too underestimated the inefficiency caused by human beings pushing things around and talking about things and countless unnecessary procedures. He was cross-examined for two days by a psychiatrist named Patty and another mechanic he had met before, how he defeated Eden, many things that would be enough to explain to Zhang Xun in just one sentence, It would take an hour to talk to these humans. By the end, Adam's eyes were rarely stained with anger and impatience.

He decided to stop talking no matter what, before seeing Zhang Xun.

The interrogators who had no way to take him and couldn't torture him to confess could only report Adam's demands. So two days after the invasion of Eden, Adam finally entered the room and waited.

Finally, the door opened. Zhang Xun walked in.

His footsteps were vain, his body was slightly stooped, there were thick dark circles under his eyes, and there was an abnormal blush on his cheeks, but his expression was very poor. There seemed to be a wound on his forehead that wasn't healing well, and it was slightly red and swollen.

But the moment he saw Adam, Zhang Xun's eyes began to turn red. But as always, the mechanic controlled the emotions he was about to show, and just stared at himself for a long time with a pair of deep eyes.

A pair of eyes that can speak a thousand words on behalf of the owner.

Adam only felt his chest, the artificial heart that should have been unconscious twitched, and the dull pain spread like a dark tide.

Both of them understood that even if Adam lifted the crisis of Paradise Lost, even if he once again saved tens of thousands of people, even if he began to be regarded as omnipotent by many people. But he couldn't let Zhang Xun retreat.

When Zhang Xun decided to break the glass and let him go privately, he was already doomed to doom. The fifth chief died, Zhang Shuo's position was at stake, Zhang Xun's backstage and protective umbrella were all gone overnight, and the only people left were those who disliked him.

He only has Adam.

Adam then strode forward, opened his arms that were flowing with metallic luster, and hugged Zhang Xun tightly.
