The Mechanic

Zhang Xun rubbed his face vigorously in frustration, and looked down at the mechanic gear badge on his chest. He can't let these negative emotions affect his judgment. As a mechanic, he shouldn't have too much obsession with a certain work, otherwise it may cause tragedy. This is learned in the first section of the mechanics class.

So on the day when the sixth chief arrived, Zhang Xun shaved his beard seriously, put on a neat three-piece mechanic uniform, hat and gloves, and took Fernandez and several of the most senior A mechanic is waiting at the door to greet you. Twenty minutes after the expected arrival time, I finally saw the convoy driving mightily from the narrow alleyway.

The chief traveler has always imposed martial law on the blocks he passes and the adjacent blocks, even if he goes out to buy a vegetable, it is a big deal. Looking at the billowing smoke and dust approaching slowly, Zhang Xun had the illusion that he was facing a formidable enemy.

Miller was wearing a trench coat with a high collar and dark glasses over his eyes. Surrounded by the crowd, he walked towards Zhang Xun, with a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his expression became more and more arrogant.

"The sixth chief." Zhang Xun lowered his head and bowed slightly.

Miller looked up at the long-lost building. Since becoming the chief, he has never set foot in the Lab again. Those old copper-red casings, the sound of constantly rotating gears, and the sound of the huge blower breathing slowly on the high place...all of these made him familiar and nostalgic.

He had thought this place would eventually be his.

But now, the entire Paradise Lost is his, so it's not bad.

Zhang Xun accompanied Miller on a tour of the Lab, dutifully explaining all the research they were doing. When Pan was asked to report some data, Miller looked at some cameras in the corner with great interest.

"This is your AI butler?"

"Pan is not just a housekeeper, but more like an assistant to the entire Lab."

"It sounds like the training data is sufficient. Are all the learning materials provided by you mechanics?"

"Yes. There are also some data brought back by the hunters."

"Hehe, I wonder if you will turn Pan into a human one day?" Miller made a specious joke and continued walking.

Despite the delay, Miller eventually sat on the couch in Adam's room.

Zhang Xun and Adam sat side by side on the brought-in chair. On the tea table in front of him were three cups of tea that Pan put down with his mechanical arm.

There were only the three of them in the room, and the sixth chief did not speak for a long time, just staring at Adam carefully. And Adam also smiled innocently, looking at one of the supreme leaders of Paradise Lost in front of him.

Zhang Xun doesn't like the current situation very much.

"I also made an artificial intelligence once." The Sixth Chief finally said, "His name is Isaac. That's my father's Christian name. My father had just passed away at the time, and I hoped to create an artificial intelligence that looked like him. AI. So I collected all the manuscripts, diaries, and letters my father wrote, plus all the audio, video, and photos I could find. I used these things to feed it and personally supervised its learning.”

Adam listened quietly, very attentively.

The sixth chief took a sip of tea and continued, "It's learning more and more like it, from voice to tone. If I close my eyes, it's as if it's really my father, talking to me. For a while, I felt comforted, and the pain of losing my loved one lessened. I gradually began to really think of him as my father, only without a body. But one day, he began to give orders to me."

Adam asked, "What order?"

"My father was very strict with me. Since I was a child, I couldn't spend more than two hours a day for entertainment. I could only read the books he allowed me to read, and I couldn't go out or take a break. If I made him angry, he would change. Don't get me wrong, he never treated me, but he would lock me up in the basement to make me reflect... My Isaac, in order to fulfill its instructions - to imitate my father, even these And learned. He started cursing me, restricting me from going out, and if I violated the house rules, he would order me to go to the basement to reflect." The sixth chief paused, and suddenly smiled strangely, "It's interesting, I really obeyed."

Zhang Xun was already dumbfounded in his heart, although he was still calm on the surface.

What the hell? ! What kind of amazing news is this? !

Adam tilted his head slightly, and said curiously, "How would he know how you got along with your father when you were a child?"

"I told him." The sixth chief simply said, "Through chatting with me, he gained more and more knowledge about my father. Finally, after analysis and integration, he, as an AI serving me, Gained the ability to control my behavior."

Adam blinked and continued, "So where is Isaac now?"

"My strange behavior was discovered by my father's friends and reported to the Round Table. The Round Table ordered them to destroy Isaac."

After hearing this, Adam softened his eyes and showed sympathy, "You must be very sad. Because for you, it is your father who is destroyed."

The sixth chief's eyes were gloomy for a moment, but soon returned to his usual look. He leaned back on the sofa and chuckled, "That's not the point. The point is, we often think we have control and power, but sometimes, we're the ones being controlled. Adam, how do you think we should put an end to this What happened?"
