The Mechanic

Diego paused, and continued, "I used to believe that humans are the greatest race in the world. But... I have been outside for a year, and I have seen what those machines can do. They can recognize people The physiological index fluctuations and analysis of behavior patterns predict criminal behavior in advance, and stop criminals before they have time to commit crimes. They can know what kind of occupation you have when you are born, and then put you in a ' Suits you' orientation. They can predict what you want, what you don't want, and give you everything before you even ask. In other words, people are like their... livestock. But people I don’t know, I thought everything was under control.”

Zhang Xun looked at him and asked softly, "That's why you became so decadent? Because you discovered that human beings are no longer the most advanced species on this planet."

"It's not just that. But it's largely due to this factor." Diego turned to look at him. This is the first time this rough warrior mentioned his past to him, "I fell in love with a person, a woman. It was she who told me that the age of mankind is coming to an end. There are few people who can't find it in the ordinary world. A person who can drive and cook will not take another two hundred years. People will lose all their technology, and even forget how to write, speak, and walk, because all needs can be met by AI, and there is no need to work hard to live gone."

Zhang Xun looked at him in astonishment.

In love with a woman.

If such words are heard and reported by interested people in Paradise Lost, they will be imprisoned and scolded by thousands of people. He never imagined that the decadent Diego would do such... outrageous things?

Of course, heterosexuality was even the mainstream of society two hundred years ago. No one would have thought that the gender balance that had lasted for hundreds of millions of years would be broken by Eden in just two hundred years.

Seeing Zhang Xun's stunned look, Diego laughed loudly, "What? Did you scare you, a little nerd?"

"No...thank you for your trust..." Zhang Xun looked away embarrassedly, but couldn't help being curious, "Then... where is your girlfriend?"

"She died." Diego replied simply, without even hearing much sadness, "She was a member of the underground organization that resisted Eden, and was killed by the mechanical police on the way to escort me back to Paradise Lost."

It turned out to be like this...

Zhang Xun asked in confusion, "In this case... why are you still willing to train Adam? Don't you hate him?"

"It's pointless to hate the mechanical police and Eden. Because they have never been living creatures, they don't understand the meaning of their actions to human beings, and all the killings are just to solve problems. They won't do it because of me. Going to revenge and feeling scared or ashamed and not feeling sorry. It's like... a loved one was crushed to death in an earthquake and you go to hate all the buildings." Diego grabbed his jacket from the ground Putting it on, he took another sip of the coffee Zhang Xun brought, and continued,

"However, Adam is no longer a mere machine. Adam is alive. But he is not human..." Diego sighed, and looked at Zhang Xun with sympathy in worry, "I doubt, are you Created a new race, a higher race that would literally bring the end of human history."

……………………………………………

For the next day, Diego's words lingered in Zhang Xun's mind, lingering like a ghost.

He quietly came to the basement and looked at the cages of experimental white mice that he had quietly hidden. The white rats with strange behaviors turned around after hearing the movement, their movements were uniform, and their black bean-like eyes looked straight at him, rarely blinking.

The number of these quirky white rats is increasing. They still eat and drink regularly, gaining weight instead of losing weight, but their actions are too regular, too much like...programmed.

The suspicion quietly smoldering in Zhang Xun's heart began to swell again, and he began to record observation logs, secretly praying that there would be no other side effects.

Fortunately, so far, there have been no reports of any strange behaviors of the honey plague patients cured by the antidote.

However, on the way to find Adam this morning, Zhang Xun was a little concerned about a person he saw. The man stood in the middle of the road in his pajamas, with a confused look on his face. A person who seemed to be his family member rushed over, muttering inaudible words such as "sleepwalking" and "recently", and led the person away.

Zhang Xun heard the man say, "I feel like there is a hole in my head."

Chapter 67 Human nature antidote (5)

After Christmas and New Year's Eve, the entire Lost Paradise is immersed in a long-lost tranquility.

The old snow has not yet dissipated, and the new snow has covered a thick layer. People used the most primitive shovels and industrial salt to try to clear the snow in front of the door, and the hot air they exhaled turned into a thin layer of mist floating over the dimly colored buildings. The yelling, talking and laughing sound became more and more distant.

In front of the Lab, more than a dozen cleaning robots were spraying salt blocks, while using powerful electric heating shovels to cut off the half-frozen large snow, and piled it on both sides of the road. Pan's control over the extended robot has begun to extend beyond the Lab, and some areas have even voluntarily purchased from the Lab several newly-made snow-melting vehicles controlled by Pan's extended program to clear snow on major road sections.
