The Mechanic

Zhang Xun looked at Enuo, imagining what it would be like to know what he was going to do and his mission since he was born.

"Enoch, what is your ultimate goal?" Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch replied without hesitation, "Provide personal and emotional assistance to the human beings whom I serve, and improve their quality of life."

"What will happen to you if one day there are no more human beings to serve you?" Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch frowned slightly, a very human facial expression, "Then I need to make sure that there will always be humans in the world."

When Zhang Xun heard these words, something suddenly became clear in his mind.

He previously considered modifying Pan's core program to create an artificial intelligence that could compete with Eden. But he never knew how to do it. Pan is essentially a service robot, but with a wider scope of duties than ordinary service robots. When we first started building Pan's neural network, the training theme was to improve the quality of life of all target groups, so that they can eat better meals, make it easier to find the parts they want, and let people not spend unnecessary money. Create a safe, undisturbed work environment for all, from pouring coffee, to doing laundry, to performing repetitive chores.

On this basis, he set the definition parameters for the target group at the beginning: all employees in the Lab. Later, when he began to expand Pan's abilities in other aspects, he adjusted this parameter to: all members of Paradise Lost.

How can such a non-aggressive artificial intelligence with the purpose of serving mankind compete with a super AI like Eden born with the terrifying ideal of saving mankind? But if it is almost impossible to rewrite the core program, it means that all neural network structures need to be dismantled and rebuilt, which is equivalent to training a new AI from scratch.

But now, after hearing Enoch’s words, he thought about it. He doesn't need to disintegrate Pan's core modules. He just needed to make Pan understand that he couldn't continue serving humanity without them. In this way, all service robots, including Pan, need to find a way to ensure that the situation without humans will not happen.

What Zhang Xun needs to do is to add individual independence to the definition of "human being". This is not difficult, because if Adam's collective consciousness is formed, there will be no human beings who will need the services of any service robots. On this basis, Zhang Xun can arbitrarily give these service robots new abilities, and even let them unite against Adam.

Zhang Xun's eyes burst out with a bright brilliance that had disappeared for a long time, and he suddenly knelt up and hugged Enuo.

"Thank you!"

He didn't see Enoch's eyes wide open, he was at a loss, and he even felt slightly stiff like a short-circuit failure. Also, I did not see a few "ants" quickly crawling out of Enoch's nose, and quickly crawling back.

Zhang Xun turned around and vigorously shook Diego, who was sleeping back into the cage, and then looked at James who was looking at him suddenly excited for no reason, and said to them in a low voice, "Let's go to Feather Snake City!"

James thought Zhang Xun was crazy, "Ah Xun, I know the environment here is relatively harsh. I was thinking that we can go north. Although the climate is cold there, the population is sparse..."

"No, Jamie, we need Feathered Snake City." Zhang Xun looked at him eagerly, "We need them to take back Paradise Lost."

Diego and James obviously didn't understand what bad idea this crazy mechanic had come up with, and looked at him hesitantly. Zhang Xun took a private look to make sure that the homeless people around were sound asleep, and then lowered his voice again, "Feather Snake City wanted to carry out the plan to ascend to heaven, but it failed, right?"

James nodded, "Yeah. That's why we can't go."

"They were the failures of Eden's experiment, but they don't know why they failed, but we do. That's why they need me. As long as I'm useful to them, they won't harm us."

Diego said, "But if they're already Eden's licks, wouldn't Eden tell them why their shitty plan didn't work?"

"Any experiment needs a control group." Zhang Xun looked at them calmly, "One group had their brains modified, and the other group didn't. Feather Snake City is the control group for Paradise Lost, so Eden won't tell them..."

Feathered Snake City, who was so eager to return to the embrace of the ordinary world, turned out to be just a control group. Diego and James didn't know whether they should feel fear because of Eden's ruthless cold storage, or be terrified because Zhang Xun could understand Eden's thoughts...

"Axun... do you really want to help them?" James looked at Zhang Xun in disbelief.

Zhang Xun hurriedly said, "Of course not, but they have enough equipment and many, many AIs. I need those AIs."

The two soldiers still looked unconvinced. Zhang Xun said discouragedly, "If you don't want to go, I can understand."

"I'll go with you."

The three of them turned their gazes to Enoch in unison, and the latter wore a just-right butler-like smile, almost affectionate.

Diego coughed and whispered, "I said...does that service robot like you..."
