    Chapter 208 AI Era

    Shonan was helped by Sundai to stand up, and Sundai asked him, "Are you going to chase him?"

    "No need." Shannan shook his head. Li Xiaochuan behaved exactly like a child. He grabbed his clothes, hair, and pinched the flesh on his face. He screamed loudly. The most obvious ones were the scratch marks on his neck and the pinch marks on his face.

    Sundae said sorry.

    "What are you sorry for?" Shonan straightened his clothes and looked at the dispersed crowd and the robots on the ground that had been smashed by the sundae. They had been turned into pieces.

    The thinking ability of robots is the data input by the manufacturer. What they have is not human thinking, but how to answer questions and solve problems. They do not know how to adapt and are relatively direct.

    "I haven't been activated before, so I can't help you with anything." Sundae said in a calm tone.

    "It doesn't matter." Shannan smiled at the other party.

    Sundae looked at Shannan calmly, "Why are you laughing?"

    "..."

    Shang Xin ran in from the hall with her bag on her shoulder. She walked around the robot fragments on the ground and ran to Shang Nan and Sundae. She held Shang Nan's face and looked around, her eyes suddenly sharpened, "That little Li XiaochuanWhat did the bastard do?”

    Hourglass is an old robot. As soon as the admiring words are spoken, it starts to retrieve the historical records from the sundae system.

    Logically speaking, Sundae and Xinxing Company, to which it both belongs, share the same system, but Hourglass was actually blocked by the other party and was prohibited from accessing it. It was even treated as an intruder and briefly short-circuited for more than ten seconds.

    The steel-gray shell of the sundae faded away little by little, revealing its human appearance, but the color of its eyes could not be changed back.

    The light blue eyes looked much more innocent and innocent, but when they turned into dark blue, they became a bit unpredictable.

    It will call out the just event process and play it back for appreciation.

    Appreciation frowned, "This kid Li Xiaochuan deserves a beating. Wait, I'll tell his brother."

    Hourglass followed Appreciation and turned around.

    "Let's go get the work permit." Shang Nan tugged on Sundae's sleeve.

    All districts in the slum areas originally had similar poverty levels, but due to different managers and different policies issued by them, obvious differences in poverty levels gradually emerged.

    The most affluent are the four districts managed by Appreciation, and District A, as the development center, is slightly wealthier than the other three districts.

    Some people from other districts will also receive work permits from these four districts to work here, but they are not eligible to change their household registration and buy houses, and they can work and go to school at will.

    Shang Nan washed his face in the pool outside the workplace and wiped off the blood stains on his face. He roughly wiped his face twice with the hem of his clothes and looked up at the dazzling sunlight, "Sundae, let's work hard together!"

    Sundae stood behind him, stepped forward and turned off the faucet, "I am in working mode now."

    The task assigned by Shangxin to Shangnan is to go door-to-door to understand the popularity of artificial intelligence and record the robots that need to be replaced, repaired and inspected. If it is a simple problem, she hopes that Shangnan will handle it smoothly.

    deal with?How to deal with it?Shang Nan tried to find the skills stored in the original body's brain, but he failed because the original body had no knowledge and skills, let alone repairing robots.

    But Shang Xin obviously didn't give him time to react. Hourglass threw a military green canvas repair bag to Shang Nan. When it landed at Shang Nan's feet, there was a "bang". You can imagine how heavy the items inside were in total..

    Shang Nan bent down and was about to pick up the bag and carry it on his back. A snow-white hand took a step ahead of him and picked up the bag and carried it on his back.

    Sundae opened an umbrella in his hand and raised the entire umbrella to Shan Nan's head, "Master, let's go."

    Robots are easy to use.

    Or solar energy automatically generates electricity.

    Data can also be recorded automatically.

    It would be better if there was no blackening value.

    Walking on the street in Area A, Sundae's voice sounded faintly, "Our task today is a total of seven buildings and 756 households. Among them, 600 households are using artificial intelligence, and the remaining 150 households are using artificial intelligence.The artificial intelligence in 16 households has been damaged and idle, and the artificial intelligence used in 523 of them are obsolete products on the market."

    Shannan nodded, "Okay."

    He pointed to a canteen and said, "I'm going to buy a popsicle."

    It was too hot, and the sun above our heads was radiating extremely high temperatures. If we stepped on the ground with bare feet, it would almost burn someone.

    Shannan bought two popsicles and held them in his hands, then he remembered that he couldn't eat anything on the sundae.

    "Did you buy it for me?" Sundae looked at Shannan and asked softly.

    "That's what I thought when I bought it, but you probably can't eat it, so I'll eat it. You go home and eat the battery at night." Shang Nan tore open the wrapping paper of the popsicle.

    Sundae thought for a while, "I understand."

    Soon, they arrived at the gate of the community where Zhang Xianzhi lived. It was no different from other places. It was a dilapidated house with direct sunlight, and the clothes hanging on the balcony reflected the light.

    The paint on several table tennis tables downstairs has fallen off, and the cement floor on the ground has collapsed several times. The middle door should have accumulated rainwater, but the accumulated water has evaporated, leaving a cracked puddle after evaporation.Dry mud.

    You can smell the burning smell of the surrounding plants and robot shells in the air.

    The table tennis ball jumped up and down on the table, and the sound of falling was crisp.

    A group of children were holding table tennis rackets and playing against a small robot. The robot was slightly taller than them, and its head was a bit uncoordinated. The materials did not seem to be uniform. The shoulders were sunken, and the temples were always flashing red light spots..

    Sundae looked up at the sky, "The temperature is too high, its material is not heat-resistant, and the circuits in the body may burn."

    The little robot wasn't stupid either. While catching the ball, it said to the children on the opposite side: "Can I take a break? The siren is going off." When it spoke, it had a particularly mechanical feel, speaking slowly and slowly.swallow.

    "No!" The little boy's voice has not changed yet, and his voice is shriller than the cry of cicadas in the tree. "You have gone to rest, who will play with us?"

    "That's right!"

    "My dad paid for you just so you could play with me!"

    "You can divide into two teams temporarily. I will take a break for half an hour and then come back to continue playing with you." The alarm on the temple of the little robot flashed faster and faster.

    The little boy looked at his friends next to him. He obviously hesitated, but quickly made up his mind. He was the first person in his community to have his own robot playmate, and he hadn't even had enough of it yet.

    "No, you have to play with me!" he shouted.

    The robot's request was rejected and it could only continue to execute the previous instructions. Its movement to catch the ball was similar to before, but soon, its movements slowed down and became stiff.

    Several times, I couldn’t even catch the ball.

    The little boy slapped the table, "Hey, what are you doing? Are you a stupid robot?"

    With a loud "pop", the little robot stopped functioning completely. The alarm indicator light on its temple was always on, white smoke was coming out of the cooler on the back of its neck, and smoke was also rising from several places on its body.

    A group of little boys were stunned.

    The owner of the little robot was the stupidest, but his little friend quickly reacted and clapped his hands and laughed: "Stupid robot, stupid robot, your dad picks up rags for you to play with!"

    Tears accumulated in the little boy's eyes. He raised his racket, walked around the table, and hit the little robot's head hard with the racket. "Get up! Get up!"

    The little robot scratched the ground a few times with its fingers. It was obviously trying hard to get up, but failed.

    I don't know why, but looking at this scene, Shang Nan felt a strong sense of discomfort in his heart.

    The development of artificial intelligence in this world is already very scary. They can communicate normally with humans. To be honest, it seems that it is okay to treat robots as equal friends.

    But here, the robot still exists as a tool, treated rudely, and discarded after use, even if it has asked its owner for help before.

    "Sundae, let's go over and take a look." Shang Nan put the popsicle in Sundae's hand and walked towards the little boy and the little robot.

    "Hey, kid," Shonan knelt down. He looked at the tears in the other person's eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Do you still want this robot? If you don't want it, I can buy it, okay?"

    "don't want."

    "No more?"

    "I mean, I won't sell it to you." The little boy said loudly.

    "Then I'll fix it and you use it according to the instructions, okay?" Shang Nan wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and squinted his eyes, "Do you know that the robot must be used according to the instructions? It is not resistant to high temperatures, so you let itThe sun is playing with you so much that it will burn out.”

    "Is it... broken?" The little boy blinked. It seemed that no one in his family had told him this at all.

    Shan Nan pointed out a few places, "If it's broken, it may not be repairable."

    The upper body of a pot-bellied middle-aged man stuck out from the building behind him. He was naked and holding a watermelon in his hand. He shouted loudly, "Boy, you are back for dinner, what are you doing?"

    The little boy raised his head and replied loudly, "Dad, the robot is burned out."

    Shang Nan turned around.

    The man was thinking while biting the watermelon. After thinking about it, he swallowed the watermelon in his mouth and said, "If it's broken, it's broken. Come back and eat quickly."

    The little boy ran into the building without turning his head.

    The little robot finally raised its upper body, looked into the building, and then fell heavily to the ground.

    Shang Nan sighed, and turned to look at Sundae who was still standing there, "Sundae, help me carry it to the shade."

    Sundae gives the repair steps, and Shangnan is mainly responsible for how to repair it.

    There was everything in the tool bag, including wrenches, screws, copper silk glue, wires, test pens... Shannan squatted on the ground and carefully used a screwdriver to remove a piece of the shell from the back of the small robot's neck. The wiring inside was indeed burned, and it was a mess.It's dark and has a very unpleasant burnt smell.

    Sundae was still holding an umbrella and squatting next to Shang Nan, "This robot has been through five hands, been recycled by a recycling plant, and been modified three times. On the market, this kind of robot is very cheap, and you can buy it for a few dozen yuan."The disadvantages are that the system programs are aging, the functions are backward, the models are old, they are easy to break, and repairs cost a lot of money, so they are treated as disposable and thrown away after use."

    Shang Nan discovered that Sundae was right. When he repaired the back of the robot's neck, he found that many of the lines inside were tangled together and exposed, and there were many spider webs.

    "Master, I don't think there is any need to repair it. The gain outweighs the loss." Sundae said without emotion.

    Sundae looked at the tattered robot and frowned as he watched Shannan's fingers gradually become dirty with the messy things in its body.

    Shang Nan put down the screwdriver and picked up a ball of glue. Without raising his eyes, he asked Sundae, "Do you know why I saved you that day in the fighting arena?"

    Sundae listened and couldn't give an answer, "I don't know."

    "Because I believe that robots are also sentient creatures. Although they are manufactured technological products, because they are programmed, and although they act according to the program, isn't the standard for humans to judge love and dislike also language and behavior??”

    "When a robot shows the behavior and language of a lover, does it matter if it has internal organs and a human body?"

    "If I hadn't had this idea at the beginning," Shang Nan carefully wrapped the glue thread around the colorful wires, "you would have been dismantled by the robots in the fighting arena."

    Sundae's deep blue eyes were illuminated by the direct sunlight, making them appear bottomless. He stared at Shannan quietly, and after a long while, he said, "Understood."

    Shang Nan smiled knowingly and continued to concentrate on repairing the small robot on the ground. It was very troublesome and felt that it needed to be sent directly to the factory for repair. The best he could do was let the robot stand up again.

    "Master." Sundae held the popsicle in his hand. The popsicle was already melting, but he was still holding it steadily. His cold voice sounded like ice water poured into his eardrums.

    "Ang." Shannan turned around and glanced at Sundae, "Say."

    "Then what you did to me was an act of loving me," Sundae's gaze slowly lowered, landing on the robot on the ground. "Is it the same for you?"
