Making nanorobots was easy for Adam, but they lacked enough materials to make sophisticated devices that could work at the molecular level. The solution to this problem can only rely on the hunting group to venture to the black market to buy.
And this task once again fell to the hunting group led by James.
Before leaving, James finally met Zhang Xun. Not in the Lab, because in the process of developing the antidote against the plague, the Round Table sent a lot of eyeliners to investigate around the Lab. Some mechanics also took the initiative to return to the Lab to resume work, including the young man named Jian Mo. Although Zhang Xun was very disgusted with him and had a sense of crisis in his heart that he was unwilling to admit, he could not find any reason to refuse him to return to the Lab. Fortunately, he has modified Pan's permission settings. No one but him can access Pan's core cognitive modules, and those technologies that have been kept secret by him are unlikely to be obtained.
But even so, there are many things that are inconvenient to say within the Lab.
This was not their usual bar, dimly lit and playing lazy jazz. Zhang Xun lowered the hat on his head, raised the collar of his coat, and found James who had already ordered wine and started drinking. James looked haggard, the beard on his chin hadn't been shaved for two days, still wearing the old leather jacket he liked to wear, and drank the last of the whisky in the glass with his head back.
Zhang Xun sat down opposite him.
"Hey, Axun." James grinned at him and waved his hand casually.
At this time, the waiter came over and asked Zhang Xun what to order. Zhang Xun asked for a martini, then frowned as James ordered another glass of whiskey.
"Are you okay, Jamie?" Zhang Xun asked worriedly.
James glanced at him and shrugged, "It's still the same. You still have the heart to worry about me? Worry about yourself."
Zhang Xun was slightly confused, "I'm fine."
"You fell out with the round table, and you're still applauding? Now they need you and your robot. When they don't need you..."
"They will always need me." Zhang Xun said calmly, "As long as they need Adam, they need me."
"And what about Adam? How do you know he won't break those controls on you?"
"Pan has been staring at him, he has no chance."
"What if Pan was also cracked by him?"
Zhang Xun sighed helplessly, "It's not that easy. Pan is already a very mature artificial intelligence."
"Adam is more mature." James pointedly said, took the whisky from the waiter just now, and shook the huge ice cubes inside. After the waiter put Zhang Xun's drink and left, James continued, "You should come with me."
"James, didn't you accept Adam before?" Zhang Xun frowned, slightly tilting his head as if he didn't understand, "Why suddenly..."
"Because the whole thing is so wrong." James sat up a little and looked at Zhang Xun with beautiful eyes, "Originally I really thought he was under your control. But this time, this time he has Going out, he even had contact with Eden. But he came back? Why? Do you really believe he came back for you?"
This sentence slightly tore a small mouth in Zhang Xun's heart.
It's a question he asks himself every day, but hearing others ask it, it's like the doubts are getting harder to ignore.
"If he wants to destroy Paradise Lost, he will do nothing when Eden is besieging us." Zhang Xun tried to defend Adam, "And now, he can completely ignore us, and when the plague spreads to the army, We're done."
"Just a lost paradise, Eden wanted it, and he took it long ago. When the fifth chief was killed, I figured it out, for some reason, Eden kept us on purpose. It wanted It's something else, something more important to us, to humanity... I don't know what it wants, but I just have that intuition." He paused, then added, "We're out there. , it's those intuitions to survive. My intuitions are always accurate."
Zhang Xun already knew from Adam that Eden kept them on purpose. But James was able to begin to doubt intuitively, which shows that his insight is indeed beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, it is impossible to bring out the best hunting group and get the appreciation of my father.
Zhang Xun lowered his eyes, his unease was stirred up by James' words. But he was unwilling to admit it, unwilling to face it. Now he has a lot to think about, just to protect Adam and protect himself has been exhausted.
At this moment, the back of Zhang Xun's hand was suddenly held down by James. The other party said to him with a look that was half sincere and half suppressed before, "I know that Adam is special to you. But you don't have to be tied to him."
Zhang Xun knew that James was worried about him, but... it was too late.
Adam gave him so much, so much that he never had or even knew he wanted. For example, the feeling of being trusted and being depended on, such as being understood and being liked, such as being regarded as the only feeling.
Those things, maybe not real, maybe just the means Adam used to survive and control him. But his feelings are real.
If Adam was a fire pit, he would have jumped into it.
"Jamie, I can't do it..." Zhang Xun took a deep breath, raised his head and glanced at James, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
James' expression was more sad than disappointed. It was as if he had seen a tragic future for Zhang Xun.
… … … … … … … … …
After the hunting group left, Zhang Xun was busy with the preliminary design of nano-robots, and Adam's research and development of antibodies was almost completed, and he was only waiting for the hunting group to return to start making robots.
The information that can be found about the technology and information about the nano-robot Paradise Lost is limited. Although Zhang Xun himself brought back a lot of information from the outside through the hunting group, it is still impossible to have as much information as Adam's mind. He often had to work with Adam in the reference room until two or three in the morning, trying to digest everything Adam told him.
Once, he accidentally fell asleep on the keyboard, and in a daze, he heard Adam talking with Pan in AI language.
Zhang Xun suddenly woke up.
The moment he sat up, the two AIs stopped talking. Zhang Xun stared at Adam suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"
Adam's expression was natural, and he pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Zhang Xun, "I'm entering the human body language and micro-expression database for Pan. I remember you said last time that the data is not enough."
Zhang Xun raised his brows, his face full of suspicion. Adam had an expression of "I can't help you" and said to Pan, "Pan, show on the screen everything I said to you during the half hour when A Xun fell asleep."
Pan Guozhen did as he did, and the dense AI language appeared in front of Zhang Xun. The original AI language is not a language that can be understood immediately. It needs to be decoded through a certain amount of calculation and transformation. So much makes Zhang Xun dizzy. He randomly selected a few lines of translation, and roughly confirmed that Adam was not lying, and then said embarrassingly, "The two of you are not allowed to use AI language to talk in the future."
Adam's face fell. "But human language is slow."
"…Are you in a hurry?"
Adam seemed to be speechless. After thinking about it for a while, he had to answer obediently, "I'm sorry, I won't use it anymore."
Zhang Xun yawned and stood up to go to his small room to rest. He took a few steps to the door and found Adam following him step by step.
"You want to rest too?" Zhang Xun asked.
Adam nodded earnestly, "Yes."
However, when Zhang Xun opened the door of his room and Adam was still following him behind him, he finally felt a little nervous, "Your room is next door."
"Xun, I don't like my recent dreams. The data in my database shows that effective ways to reduce nightmares include breathing training, meditation, medication, etc. But falling asleep with someone you believe in and like is also very good. One of the good ways."
Zhang Xun was stunned with his mouth slightly open, "You... want to sleep with me?"
Adam showed a big sunflower smile, "Yes!"
"no!"
"Why?" Adam opened his scary blue eyes, "According to Pan's observation, my sleeping habits are very good, and I rarely turn over."
"That's not the problem! Two adults can't just sleep together!"
"But we're not casual." Adam looked confused. "According to my calculations, our intimacy should have reached the level where we can trust each other to sleep together."
Zhang Xun's cheeks were flushed and his palms were sweating. He knew that Adam was talking about simply sleeping in the same bed, but...
Who doesn't think too much about this stuff? !
"But... but I only have a sofa here..." He quickly thought of an excuse.
"There is enough bed in my house to hold two adult male humans." Adam also quickly gave a solution.
"I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with other people!"
Seeing Zhang Xun's refusal so resolutely, Adam actually showed a somewhat hurt expression. After a while he said obediently, "Ah... then forget it..." and turned to leave.
Zhang Xun looked at the broad shoulders that were slumped down, and while hating himself, he said something mysteriously, "Wait a minute..."
Ten minutes later, the two of them lay side by side on Adam's bed. Soft cotton sheets, the bed frame makes a strange creaking noise when turned over.
Zhang Xun lay sternly, with his hands folded on his abdomen, like a mummy that had not yet been wrapped up.
On the other hand, Adam turned around and leaned on one arm, his blue eyes glowing like a cat in the dark, "Axun, can I hold you to sleep?"
Zhang Xun held back for a long time before saying, "Hot."
"Did you forget, my arm can regulate the temperature."
How could I forget... The arm I made... Zhang Xun was half annoyed, half expecting a little bit of unwillingness to admit it anyway, turned over and turned his back to Adam, "Stop arguing, go to sleep!"
"Good night, Asun."
"… Good night."
When he woke up the next morning, Zhang Xun found himself sleeping in Adam's broad and warm embrace, Adam's chin resting on his forehead, his long breaths, and the feathers lightly fell on top of his head again and again.
That night was a month for Zhang Xun, no, it was the best night of sleep in years.
