    Chapter 203 AI Era

    At night, Shang Nan stood in the suspended cold corridor. Two robots behind him were carrying trays. The sound of the tracks running was particularly clear. He turned around.

    "Good evening, young master."

    "Good evening."

    Shang Nan watched them leave.

    Admiration took the elevator and slowly came up from the other direction. She had already dressed up, wearing a long red dress, blond wavy hair, and high heels that were sharp and loud in the corridor.

    "Let's go." She handed the half mask in her hand to Shang Nan.

    Shang Nan reached out and took the half mask into his hands. He slowly lowered his head and covered the half mask on the left side of his face. Those who did not need to wear it specially raised their hands to fix it. The half mask adjusted its position on the face by itself, close to the face.contour.

    The half mask imitates the structure of the artificial intelligence brain, with blue and white light tubes and intertwined circuits. There is a rectangular blue light block at the eye. Graphic imaging, light source and light source control transmit the absorbed image to the brain chip., regarded as the robot’s vision system.

    And the mask is not just a mask. As soon as it is put on the face, the world that Shang Nan sees with his left eye completely changes. Everything in his eyes becomes mechanized. Only humans are slightly better, and they are the only ones with warmth.The presence.

    so cool.

    But Shannan didn't show it on the surface. As the prodigal son of the family, he should not be surprised by this kind of thing.

    Admiration walked in front of him, "Do you know why I bought 9808?"

    "I don't know." Shang Nan looked outside the elevator. The sky was filled with stars, dazzling neon lights, and cold blue and white light shuttled between the buildings of the technology manor. The huge sphere rotated slowly, and each frame of the picture was different..

    "Because Lu Xia bought 3404, and the rankings of 3404 and 9808 have always been about the same. I just don't want Lu Xia to win." She ruffled her long hair, "Bitch, I have disliked her since she was born."

    [14: Fight against younger rivals. The development direction of the Lu family and yours are similar, so no matter what industry they are in, they are secretly competing with each other. Naturally, the younger generation cannot be alone. The opponent that the third lady admires is Lu Xia, the second eldest son of the Lu family. YouThere are...a lot of opponents.]

    [14: I found a total of eight on the list here. The first one is Lu Wei, the third eldest son of the Lu family, the second is Li Xiaochuan, the second youngest of the Li family, and the third one is Zhao So, the eldest son of the Zhao family...]

    Shang Nan didn't remember any of them, but the original person had memory, so when 14 read the list, faces and family backgrounds that matched the names would automatically pop up in his mind.

    Except for the other two companies that can compete with the connoisseurs, the others are considered upstarts. They have strength and prospects that should not be underestimated.

    The sound of an engine came from outside the gate, and the person who got out of the car sneezed, "It's a bit cold." A low and magnetic voice sounded.

    "Young Master, you are wearing too few clothes." The robot Xiao Putao said softly as he handed over the tissue.

    "Is Xiaoliu at home?"

    "Yes, I got home at 5:10 and 7 seconds this morning."

    "..." Shang Jianqiu took off his scarf, put it in his arms, and walked into the house.

    He happened to bump into Shannan and Shangshu who were about to go out. Shangshu shook her hair and said hello with a smile on her face, "Brother, good evening."

    "Good evening," Shang Jianqiu smiled at Shang Su. His whole person was extremely gentle and elegant. His figure was tall and his broad shoulders allowed him to fully hold up his black coat. The noble master's complacency was clearly reflected in him..

    He looked at Shannan who was behind Shangsui, "Where are you going to fool around?"

    "Go out with Third Sister to watch robots fight." Shannan answered truthfully.

    Shangjian Qiu took out a pen from his coat pocket and said, "Put out your hand."

    Shang Nan handed over his hand.

    The pen only looked similar in appearance. After it was placed in the palm of Shannan's hand, it immediately changed its shape. The blue light quickly wrapped around Shannan's palm and the surface of the skin of his forearm like blood vessels and tendons.

    "Brother, what is this?"

    Shang Jianqiu: "A new self-defense weapon developed by the company, you try it first."

    "I'm a test subject." Shang Nan clenched his fists but didn't feel any change.

    Shangjianqiu patted Shangnan on the head and handed one to Shangshu. His tone was much harsher when he treated Shangshu, "The robot fighting game is essentially the fooling and trampling of the lower ones by the superiors.Robots also have dignity, emotions, and affection. Try to avoid such situations as much as possible in the future."

    "Understood." Facing Shangjianqiu, Shangsu, who was usually arrogant, spoke weakly.

    Shang Qiu took the hot water from Xiao Putao and held it in his hand. His sharp eyes were wrapped in a gentle smile. He turned to ask Xiao Putao, "What time is it?"

    "A quarter past seven."

    Shang Jianqiu nodded, "I'll get home before two o'clock in the morning. Can you do it?"

    Shang Nan and Shang Su moved in sync, nodding their heads repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."

    When they came out of the house, both of them were sweating profusely, with their arms folded in admiration, "Brother is smiling like a tiger, so scary."

    Shannan looked back behind him. He saw a family that had been prosperous for hundreds of years, intricately connected, and cold white buildings. Everything was not going to be that simple.

    The Golden Ocean Amusement Park has begun business. Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky. The fireworks landed and suddenly jumped up on the ground, turning into small balloons and flying into the hands of passing children.

    The clown robot stands in the crowd and performs various programs for everyone. Its auditory system will collect the cheers of the audience, and its visual system will collect the smiles on the audience's faces, summarizing the good and bad evaluation data of the program.

    The wooden horses of the carousel are also products made by artificial intelligence. Each wooden horse has a different shape, and they are input into human language.

    "Adult men who weigh more than 300 pounds, please don't ride on me, I will be crushed."

    Gorgeous and colorful lights, babbling music, everything is full of childish laughter, until you enter the micro-gold robot fighting arena.

    Heavy metal music filled everyone's ears, and one-third of the audience had already entered the venue. They were all humans, and some humans would bring their own servant robots.

    There were two robots standing in the middle of the field. One had eight steel claws and a square body. One-half of the body was rusty. It turned around, looked at the noisy surroundings, and finally looked at the brother opposite it."Hey, I have pain receptors."

    "I don't." The slender robot on the opposite side said coldly. It was missing an arm, and the broken wires of the arm were exposed.

    The square robot turned half a circle again, turning its back towards its opponent, "See, that yellow thread, cut it for me."

    The lanky robot bent down and pinched the line with his fingers.

    The square robot trembled all over, "Thank you."

    "You're welcome."

    01 crossed his legs and sat quietly against the wall. In the cage opposite him was a pair of twin robots. They looked exactly the same, and one could imitate the other's speech.

    Their bodies are slender and well-proportioned. Although they appear to be obsolete models, the parts system on their bodies can still be seen as top-of-the-line at the time.

    "I have heard of you, number Q-l7701." It turned its head, looked at its companions, and then at 01, "You are the first emotional robot, but you have to be given first before you can give.The other side is emotional, why are you here? My master also wants to buy a robot like you, but your kind of robot is not only expensive, but it is not sold to the outside world, and ordinary humans cannot afford it."

    "I'll pry open the cage later and you can sneak away. Such a rare robot like you is really wasting resources here."

    "Hello, we are Weiweiya. Do you only have a number but no name?"

    01 stood up, "I don't have a name."

    "Oh my god, you don't have a name yet, haven't you been activated?" Two robots jumped up in the cage.

    "not yet."

    "So you are a new robot and you haven't been used yet?"

    "Yes."

    "Don't worry, we'll let you out later."

    "How to put it?"

    The two robots looked at each other. One of them lowered its head, exposing the back of its neck. The other reached out and pulled out the chip from the back of its neck, and then took away the accessories from other parts of its body, and then installed them all on itself.

    The robot fell to the ground, turning into a pile of scrap metal and stopped moving.

    "That's it, it's very simple." When it spoke again, the voices of the two robots sounded at the same time, one after the other. "Together, our functional system will recover a lot."

    "What did you do before?" 01 asked curiously.

    "Kindergarten teacher, we used to be kindergarten teachers."

    It raised its arm, and the five fingers immediately detached from the palm and turned into long locks with steel claws at the end. "Look, I can catch ten children at a time."

    "What about you, are you leaving?"

    "We're not leaving, why should we leave?" Weiweiya retracted the steel claws waving in the sky, "Our first step is to protect."

    "Protect?"

    "Well, because human children are so fragile and important, our first program out of the factory is protection."

    "Your first program is survival, right?"

    "Yes?"

    "The first program set by the robot at the factory is survival, so there is a micro gold fighting field. Before taking the stage, the administrator will wake up the first program of the robot. Once the first program is awakened, the robot will fight desperately for survival.It’s exciting, isn’t it?”

    01 shook his head slowly, "I think it's bloody."

    There were heavy footsteps at the end of the corridor, one step after another. The cage next to 01 was opened, and the newspaper in Mobili's hand was taken away. Two mighty and strong robots trampled its newspaper under their feet.Being dragged away by the shoulders.

    All its parts have aged, and its voice echoes intermittently in 01's ears, "Master, what should I prepare for breakfast today, jam bread or millet porridge?"

    "We artificial intelligences are born to obey. Please don't hold me back."

    Weiweiya leaned against the cage, "This old man is going to die."

    01 Blue eyes are like two thin pieces of glass, "Why?"

    "Born to obey is the first level alarm for our robots. This is to show our last loyalty to humans." Weiweiya said softly.

    "Why kill us if we are loyal?"

    "Robots are just tools." Wei Weiya's eyes were red, but one of them was about to go out. "7701, you are actually an emotional robot. Do robots also have emotions? It's really scary."

    "Why is it scary?"

    Weiweiya: "Because no human being will give a robot emotions, let alone love. Without humans, this is absolute, you may never be able to be activated."

    "I let you out because I wanted to take a gamble and see what the world would be like if robots had emotions."

    Shannan got out of the car and was received by Zas, the administrator of the fighting arena. He walked beside Shansu, and the voice of 14 sounded.

    [14: Blackening value 20.]

    Shannan paused and asked, "Where is it?"

    [14: In the fighting field, fortunately it is a robot, which is much easier to retrieve than a human. It will be taken to the fighting field later, so don’t worry, but its blackening value has been awakened. It was not blackened before.worth it.]

    [14: Are you going to find it?]

    Shannan looked at Shangshu and said, "Third sister, I want to go for a walk by myself."

    Shanxue bit the candy in her mouth, "What are you talking about? It's not safe for you alone, and we don't have any bodyguards. You have forgotten how many times you have been kidnapped. If you dare to escape by yourself, I will break your legs."

    Children from big families will be watched no matter what they do, let alone in such a high-tech era.

    Shannan, who is walking alone, is like a walking money bag. You can get gold coins when you catch him, and if you are lucky, you can get high-end equipment.

    Shan Nan had no choice but to follow Shan Su. He looked around. The sound of the crowd gradually became louder and his eyes became brighter.

    This is an all-glass VIP stand with rich snacks and tea, and two dedicated robots to serve them.

    This is the best position in the stands, and the view is excellent. You can overlook the entire fighting arena and the auditorium. The colors of the entire fighting arena are very gorgeous, with cheers, fireworks overhead, and waiting, small robots and vehicle tracks flying overhead., as well as spectators throwing candies and bread into the arena.

    A large electronic screen wheel displays the robots that will appear today. The screen has their information, serial number, production date, service life, specific functions, and their factory photos.

    Shang Nan stood in the stands, looking down. The host held the microphone and spoke excitedly about the opening remarks. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and left the stage.

    There was a square-body robot and a slender robot on the field. Two people ran up and touched their bodies and pressed in a few places. The two robots, which could be said to be semi-dead, suddenly becameChange.

    The square robot was running around the field, muttering silently: Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, I want to run like crazy."

    The slender robot quickly caught up with it. It was lifted high and fell heavily to the ground. Several steel claws were stepped on and broken. The arms of the slender robot changed into a steel knife form and chopped the square robot into two halves directly from above., and the robot that was split into two still tried to escape.

    Until it was completely trashed.

    Its information bar on the screen turned gray, and the winner was the Slender Robot.

    Shannan looked at the screen. The main function of the square robot is a toy?It's just a large toy for a human child.

    [14: You don’t have to feel bad. As long as there is no pain sensing system, it is no different from destroying a computer or a washing machine. Just because they have human language, are you worried about it?]

    [14: Their language system is also installed by humans.]

    Give, destroy, humans are the creators of the robot world.

    A black box flew out of the square robot's destroyed body, and a children's song played. The audience burst into laughter. Several robots came up to clean the arena and prepare for the next game.

    Shangshu was trimming her nails and drinking black tea. She glanced at Shannan several times, "These are small robots used to warm up the scene. They become more interesting as you go to the back. I'm too lazy to look at them now."

    "It's pretty good-looking." Shang Nan put his hands in his pockets. He looked at it for a while, then noticed the gaze from the VIP stand next door, and turned his head.

    Half-Mask had given him information about humanity.

    Name: Lu Xuan

    Age: 16

    Gender: Female

    Lu Xuan, a member of the Lu family, should have a hostile relationship, but when Shannan caught her peeking, he immediately turned away with a blushing face.

    Shang Nan also withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the robots in the arena.

    An old man came up, his steps were shaky. He was a housekeeper robot. It had been used for nearly sixty years. Robots were updated very quickly. After sixty years... they should have been eliminated long ago.

    But after the button on its back was pressed, it still exploded with amazing attack power, but the slender robot he faced had quickly absorbed the experience of the previous game. After learning and progress, the butler robot was in front of it., and could only hold on for two minutes longer than the previous one.

    The butler robot quickly became a pile of junk.

    Admiration leaned on the sofa and tilted his head, "Why do you catch the old man and beat him too? What's the point of beating the old man?"

    "Third sister, I want to go to the bathroom." Shannan turned to look at Shangshu.

    Shangshu raised her hand. She had a bracelet on her hand. As soon as she raised it, a blue light bar shot into Shangshen's half-mask, "Go ahead."

    Shang Nan didn't quite understand what it was doing, but as soon as he turned around, before he could walk out the door, a mechanized female voice came from Shang Nan's bracelet behind him: "The young master is currently two meters away from the master."

    Shang Nan: "..."

    01's cage was opened. It looked too much like a human. Well, it was actually no different from a human. The two robots who were ordered to take him to the fighting arena confirmed the order again and again. Only after they were sure it was correct did they go up.Go forward and grab 01's arm.

    01 Walk between them.

    There was a rustling sound behind him. It was a subtle steel cable. The soft steel claws directly grasped the ankle of one of the robots and pulled it down hard. The robot fell to the ground. It was not there for the time being.To react, their reactions are not as flexible as humans', they take time.

    Another robot was treated similarly.

    Weiweiya's movements did not stop because of this. It opened the cages of other robots one after another, but it could only open four at most. The length of the steel cable was limited.

    "7701, run. Although I don't believe that there are humans who can activate you, who told me that my first program is protection." As early as when it took away its own chip, it awakened its first program., it will not leave here, it does not have this procedure.

    After the other robots came out, they also started to open other cages. 01 stood there and watched the two large security robots get up. The arm of one of them rotated and turned into a cannon barrel.

    "Escape is not allowed." As soon as he finished speaking, the red fire light was aimed at 01.

    01 still maintained the factory settings. It couldn't even dodge. A slightly elegant figure appeared. It turned its back to the cannonball, and a big hole was burned in its back. Its other eye also went out, and an alarm sounded on its body.Voice.

    01 lay on the ground, Weiweiya smiled at him, her steel claws crawled slowly on the ground, and selected the attack functions of several robots, "Go to a safe place, it is not safe here."

    "01, tell me, does my protection count as love?"

    A cannonball came from behind it, and its head fell in front of 01's eyes and rolled to 01's hand.

    "7701, tell my children that I must love them."

    It stopped functioning and its entire body was damaged beyond recognition.

    [14: Blackening value 50.]

    Shang Nan quickened his pace. He was confused, "Why do robots have hatred? Can't they not feel emotions?"

    [14: It itself doesn’t know that none of its functions have been activated. Its setting is that only positive emotions can fully activate it. Its functions are very powerful. If activated, it can almost act as a human being.friend.]

    [14: But now it has blackened values. These are the final summed up results of its rapid absorption of surrounding data. It is learning.]

    Fortunately, the monster was a robot, barely the same kind as the system. 14 quickly locked onto its location, but it moved very fast and kept dodging.

    Someone is chasing it and it is running away.

    Along the way, Shang Nan bumped into many robots, but humans were a minority. When they saw his clothes and mask, they thoughtfully pointed the way for him.

    The layout of the fighting arena is winding and winding. Although the lights outside are gorgeous and bright, it is very dim inside.

    The air is filled with the smell of rust, engine oil, and some food, making it feel very cramped and uncomfortable.

    Even the light strips turned dark blue, and the silhouettes of passing robots were vague. They did not stop for the passing humans, and followed the instructions and only focused on their own work.

    200 meters.

    Shang Nan saw robots that were about the same size as the security guards outside. Before he could react, one of them grabbed his neck and pinned him to the wall, "Q-l7701."

    The wall on his back was uneven, and Shannan gasped in pain, followed by the suffocation feeling of his breathing being cut off.

    He directly raised his fist and hit the opponent's head. The robot opposite made a loud bang and its head deflated. It covered its head and kept retreating, "I'm sorry, Young Master Shangyi, I didn't know it was you."

    Fortunately, Shang Jianqiu gave him a weapon when he went out. Shang Nan watched the blue light network gradually retreat until it turned into a small blue dot in the palm of his hand. He coughed a few times and said, "It won't happen again." After saying that, he immediately faced the monster.Run where you are.

    [14: Q-l7701 is the number of the monster. It must have been captured in the fighting arena and then escaped. This group of security robots mistook you for it, so it should look almost like a human.]

    A call came from Shangshu. Shannan clicked on the communication device and answered, "Third sister, I have something to do now. Don't worry. I'm fine. I'll be back soon."

    After saying that, without waiting for Shangsun to say anything, Shannan hung up the phone.

    He quickened his pace, his heart racing into his throat.

    [14: Arrived.]

    This corridor is secluded, with not a single person or robot in sight. This is just a corner of this corridor, a square blind corner, no lights, and pitch black.

    Shannan couldn't hear breathing. He didn't dare to move forward for fear of being suddenly attacked. "Is there anyone there?"

    After a while, Shannan heard a soft response.

    "Hello."

    Shang Nan raised his palm, and the weapon in his hand emitted a faint blue light. The mask on his face and 14 absorbed the other party's information at an extremely fast speed.

    The young man who was illuminated looked pale, his blue eyes seemed very tired, and his cold white eyelids slowly raised.

    "Human?" Shonan was surprised that this robot was so similar to a human, and its appearance was so outrageous.

    [14: It’s a monster.]

    Shang Nan took two steps forward, and the other party looked at him without blinking. He squatted down in front of the other party and carefully stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Shang Nan. I am not a staff member here.I can take you away."

    "Q-l7701, will you go home with me?"
