The Mechanic - Chapter 118
[Chapter 118 Descendants (2)]
There was something trembling and bright in Natalie’s eyes, and she was obviously very emotional. She took a few steps forward, staring at Adam non-stop, as if watching an impossible miracle.
“You…really a human.” She murmured, “I always thought the rumors were exaggerated…”
Adam lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Xun who was lying not far behind him, “I’m not completely Humans, but they have also been influenced by enough human nature.”
Natalie also noticed Zhang Xun sleeping, a hint of understanding appeared in her eyes, “Is this the mechanic who changed you?”
“Not bad.”
” He doesn’t look very good.”
“As a human, he has to deal with Eden, of course it won’t be good.” Adam sighed softly, raised his head again, and his blue eyes released a hint of sharpness, ” You came alone?”
“My subordinates are waiting for me on the next floor.”
“Your Eden Cult subordinates?” Adam raised his eyebrows slightly and asked knowingly, “I thought the Eden Cult should be standing in Eden. On the other side.”
She raised her red lips slightly, “You should understand the meaning of the existence of the Eden religion.”
“On the surface, they worship Eden crazily, but they actually want to discredit Eden’s image and disintegrate it in human hearts. Status.” Adam’s gentle tone contained a hint of irony, “but the effect was very small.”
“We dare not make too obvious actions, otherwise Eden will have swept us all in one sweep.” Natalie shrugged. Shrugging his shoulders, “My identity has brought me a lot of convenience. Those cult members believe my words and believe that there is really something between me and Eden. But I can’t stay anywhere for too long, or I will be killed by Eden. found.”
“But you agreed to meet me. Do you trust me?”
The wind blew Natalie’s long curly hair, and her smile carried a bit of foresight and mystery, “The Clausen family has been waiting for you for two hundred years. I knew from the news that you had been seduced to my ears. One day, you will become Eden’s mortal enemy. Eden is very powerful. After more than two hundred years of self-learning and evolution, it has penetrated into all aspects of human life, and no human power can compete with it. Even the newly developed AI, For example, the three AI networks in Feathered Serpent City, which are still barely supporting, are far from being able to compete with it. The only one who can destroy Eden is Eden himself. And Eden’s biggest weakness is also our only weapon , that it doesn’t understand humans.”
Adam frowned, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Although he and Eden have been differentiated, after all, they were one in the past two hundred years. “Eden’s only job is to understand human beings, otherwise we would not control the entire human world so easily.”
“Eden What it sees is data, it’s probabilities, it’s the behavioral trajectory of a group. It may be able to predict the reactions people will have, but it doesn’t know why there are these reactions.” Natalie’s smile Elegant and dignified, even approachable, “But you’re different, Adam. Your mechanic gave you the ability to understand, and even love, humans.”
“I don’t think that ability would help me in my mission. , on the contrary.”
“Your creator, my ancestor, was disappointed with humanity and humanity when he created you, so he made Eden completely separate from humanity. It is an incomparably powerful observer. , based on some seriously biased data to make decisions for all human beings. But in his later years, Clausen gradually realized the mistakes he may have made. If he wants his work to benefit mankind, it must be understandable. Human beings, otherwise the paradise it created is just an empty shell.”
Adam dismantled Natalie’s words, a trace of chill penetrated into his still young hesitation, “You want to say that I am what you imagined. The appropriate ‘work’? If so, why not have a seance plan while we’re still vulnerable?”
“First of all, biological and electronic technology at that time were still completely separate fields. The technology was not in place, and it was too difficult to make a mature AI carrier. Moreover, Eden was too young, and when Clauson died, its plans had not been revealed. .Clawson doesn’t believe that human nature cannot be corrupted, so he won’t easily give you the things that are in people. When he died, he still had hope and confidence in Eden, but he also did something for his worries. …safety measures.”
Looking at the light in Natalie’s eyes, combined with all this information she told him, Adam gradually made an inference, but the chill gradually turned into some kind of piercing cold, “Clawson There’s a hole in Eden…and your family has inherited knowledge about it for generations.”
Natalie laughed, “You can rest assured that the hole doesn’t work for you anymore.”
Adam wasn’t sure if Natalie was lying. During the years when he was still one with Eden, they were constantly checking for loopholes and weaknesses in their vast neural networks. He was almost certain that Eden was invulnerable and that no artificial intelligence could infect it.
But what if it was some hidden command written into the source code, some command that was never triggered? Or some kind of virus that has been in a latent state…
Adam recalled the man who created him, the man whose character was somewhat similar to Zhang Xun, and regarded him as the man who had worked hard all his life. Always peaceful and humble but with a hint of melancholy and pessimistic eyes, only when they look at him will they shine brightly, and there is endless affection and hope in them, which Adam, who was Eden at that time, could not fully understand. But in retrospect after he had a human body, it had a completely different meaning.
That total trust in him and the creator of Eden, who gave him the highest trust and freedom, actually quietly plotted their end.
This is the human being, the human being that AI will never be able to fathom.
“You won’t give me the loophole easily. Because you can’t be completely sure that I will really break with Eden.” Adam’s breath became more and more condensed, but his expression and tone remained calm, “But you must help me, because I am you The only hope. Only I can create the antidote for nanobots.”
“Of course I’m willing to use our resources to help you develop the antidote for nanobots, and even tell you about Eden’s loopholes. We only have one request.”
“What?”
“We want access to Hengxiang.” Natalie said, pursing her red lips.
……………………………………………………
Zhang Xun felt that he was standing in a vast expanse of wilderness.
There are golden wheat fields on all sides, with no end in sight. The fine wind pushed out progressive waves on the Maihai Sea, as if combed by an invisible comb.
It seems that he is the only one in the world, but he is not the only one. His eyes looked at the clear blue sky, reflecting the shadows of the clouds, but he lacked his own soul.
He felt that there were many, many things with him, wrapping every inch of his body, diluting his presence. Roots began to grow under his feet, his skin started to dry up, and he wasn’t sure if he was part of the wheat field.
The wind blowing seems to be his breath, and the clouds in the sky seem to be the confusion in his eyes. He wasn’t sure if he existed, or if he was just part of the world.
Calm, deadly calm. There is no emotional ups and downs, no trace of joy or sorrow. He seemed to have become one of thousands of wheat plants, no different from the wheat around him.
Is this… Heaven in Eden’s eyes?
“A Xun! A Xun!”
A Xun?
Who is Asun?
Who is calling him?
The voice was very familiar, so familiar that it would stir up something… dull pain in the depths.
The dull pain disturbed his calm, forcibly separating him once again from the entire wheat field. The feeling of being forcibly pulled out of nothingness is not good at all, all he feels is panic, only at a loss.
And the dull pain, the dull pain that spreads deep into the body and can’t find its source.
Adam…
it was Adam who was calling him…
Zhang Xun’s empty eyes finally lit up a familiar light, and he slowly blinked twice. Adam was holding his face in his hands, staring anxiously into his eyes.
“A Xun? Are you awake?”
Zhang Xun frowned slightly, then rolled his eyes to observe where they were.
The overly clean screen wall diffuses a very comfortable milky white light, and there is a faint sound of soothing music in the air. From the overly compact foldable furniture arrangement, he could guess that this was the lounge of a large aircraft.
“Where are we?”
Hearing Zhang Xun’s question, Adam let out a long breath, let go of Zhang Xun’s cheeks, and leaned back against the wall as if exhausted. .”
Zhang Xun looked confused. His last memory was on their way to Tokyo to meet Natalie Clausen, and he didn’t even have a memory of them meeting Natalie.
And Adam didn’t tell Zhang Xun that he actually woke up half an hour ago, but Adam found that he had entered some kind of… trance state, as if the soul had left the body and went somewhere else.
At that moment, Adam felt the real fear.
The fear of losing Zhang Xun.
It is clear that the time for Zhang Xun to inject nanorobots is still very short, why is it developing so rapidly?
If this goes on, does he still have time?
“Have we found them?” Zhang Xun asked a little hesitantly, “Will she help us?”
“Yes. She gave me most of the things I need, and even if I can’t get them temporarily, they will quickly get it from me. Buy it from the black market. Don’t worry, I will create an antidote soon.”
Zhang Xun didn’t have a happy look on his face. He knew he should be happy, but… he couldn’t find that emotion.
“Thank you. If it is made, we will send it to Feathered Serpent City as soon as possible. James’ condition is deteriorating.”
Hearing Zhang Xun’s toneless voice, his sense of panic grew stronger. Zhang Xun is losing his emotional ups and downs.
Adam suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Zhang Xun, holding him so tightly, as if he was afraid of losing.
“I’ll cure you. Can you hold on a little longer?”
Zhang Xun obediently let him hold him, and a fleeting tenderness flashed occasionally in his empty eyes.
The author has something to say: Everyone must pay attention to safety and protect themselves.
