    Chapter 210 AI Era

    Two hours ago, Li Xiaochuan appeared in Lu Wei's office with a bruised nose and swollen face. There was a robot head on Lu Wei's desk. He removed the shell and the green light flashed in the control room in the middle.

    "Get out." Lu Wei said calmly.

    "I'll tell you something good," Li Xiaochuan took out a pile of toilet paper and wiped the dust off his face, "Shangjia has developed a robot that can evolve on its own. It's in Area A, and it's following Shangnan."

    Lu Wei slowly raised his eyelids.

    "It's the previous one, the emotional robot that your sister bought back. Your sister bought it to be her boyfriend, but it was never activated successfully, so she sold the robot." Li Xiaochuan picked up the robot at the water dispenser.Cup of water, "It's in Shang Nan's hands now. I don't know if it's activated. Anyway, when I was fighting with Shang Nan, it suddenly evolved and smashed all my robots to pieces. If I hadn't run fast,Can it beat me to pieces?"

    Lu Wei lowered his eyes and picked up the screws on the table, "If the robot is damaged in public, it will be returned to the factory."

    He said slowly, "For violent robots, if the system does not set forced braking, it will be returned to the factory for reset."

    "Does Anan know this?" Lu Wei tapped his finger on the table, "Are you sure there is no one else around him except the robot?"

    "No, I'm sure."

    "How could a young master like that be willing to come to the slums?" Lu Wei clicked his tongue twice, "Admiration is not here either?"

    "There's no way to appreciate her. Her attitude has always been to let people live or die."

    "uncertain."

    Although he said it was not certain, Lu Wei still couldn't control his curiosity about the robot and led the people over.

    He had no intention of harming Shan Nan, but he wanted to take away the robot.

    The sun has become much milder, and the number of people watching is gradually increasing. Shannan refuses to let go, and Lu Wei refuses to let go. But Lu Wei is not Li Xiaochuan. He cannot fight in a group like the gangsters on the street.He just looked at Shan Nan with a smile.

    "Let a violent robot with an imperfect system act autonomously on the street. Report it to the police... The Robot Protection Association and the Code of Coexistence of Human Robots established in the past two years have spread public opinion and your brother's efforts have been in vain - all in vain.Already." Lu Wei's voice was soft.

    Sundae doesn’t understand this.

    Shang Nan understands.

    Shang Jia has been fighting for space and rights for the equal existence of robots. If Lu Wei exploits the topic and finds that Shang Jia himself has not given equal respect and protection to robots, then Shang Jian Qiu’s view will not stand. Shang Jia has beenConcepts from the past will also be accused of hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

    "Lu Wei." A low female voice sounded from behind Shang Nan.

    It was admiration with a few streaks of engine oil on her face. She waved her peaked cap in her hand to fan the wind, "Long time no see."

    "Good afternoon, second sister." Lu Wei waved.

    "Don't pretend," Appreciation said, slapping his hand away, "Take the sundae away, and I'll have someone follow up on its detection and reset. As for the crime you said it committed, first let Li Xiaochuan think about how to deal with it when he goes back at night.His father told me, don’t forget that under the premise of self-defense, it is reasonable and legal to dismantle any number of robots.”

    Shannan: "You can't take away the sundae." He still held the sundae's hand tightly.

    Appreciation lowered her head and took out a blue chip from her bag. She held Sundae's head and looked around, and finally looked at Appreciation Nan, "Let it open the defense card pool."

    Shannan looked at the sundae and said, "Open it."

    The defensive card pool was on Sundae's lower back. Admiring bent down to insert the chip, and there was an extra layer of mesh outside Sundae's pupils.

    The smile on Lu Wei's face disappeared.

    Shangyin turned around and said, "Lu Wei, you are only twenty years old. Take your time and don't be anxious. When everyone in our generation is dead, you will always be able to rise to the top."

    "Let's go." Shang Xin forcefully opened Shang Nan's hand holding Sundae's wrist, put his arm around his shoulders, and led him away from the scene.

    Shannan turned his head several times and Shanghuan straightened it out for him.

    "They are here for the sundae, but you are too reluctant to part with it. If Lu Wei comes up with something more advanced, my defense layer may be ineffective," said Appreciation.

    Shang Nan withdrew his gaze, and at the same time, Sundae's voice sounded in his mind, "I will be back soon."

    I can't swallow the food I admire from the south, and it feels like needle felt.

    Appreciating this, she was finally willing to say a few more words. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Appreciation and I have told you a long time ago not to idle around, right?"

    "Based on Big Brother's point of view, I am willing to help you keep the sundae, but if Big Brother had other opinions, I would not help you today." Admiration placed a bottle of milk in front of Admiration Nan, her hair fell down and her expression was cold., "There is no need to give yourself a reputation for a robot."

    "Don't robots also have feelings?" Shannan said with difficulty. He suddenly realized that he felt uncomfortable. In fact, he was the only one who felt uncomfortable. Even Sundae didn't feel that it had anything to do with being taken away.

    He is against this era and the entire world.

    Appreciating the few strands of hair that couldn't be tied behind her ears, her eyes were cold, "That's just your self-righteousness. Let me ask you, what are they made of?"

    "Fiberglass, chips, systems, programs, etc..." Shang Nan felt that the top of his head was shrouded in a large shadow.

    Appreciating a smile, she grabbed a handful of rubber hose circuit boards from the tool bag and threw them on the table, "Do these things have feelings?"

    Shannan swallowed. He looked at the things on the table, and then looked up at the understatement of Xiangxin, "Then why are you still helping me based on your elder brother's point of view?"

    Appreciation clapped his spoon and smiled, "Why do you ask such a stupid question?"

    After a while, Shanghuan stretched out his hand and touched Shannan's head, and Shanghuan understood everything.

    In a testing room of the robot testing factory, Lu Wei, who had been smiling, finally stopped laughing. He pointed at the robot behind Sundae with a wrench, "Fuck! Can you get the hell out?!"

    The hourglass and the sundae were close to each other, "The sundae just left the factory. It needed to be inspected and reset due to irregularities. It had to be accompanied by a robot with more than twenty years of work experience. I am its guardian robot. I haveobligation……"

    Lu Wei did not expect that Admiralty would get this hand. The main purpose of bringing the robot to the factory was not to reset and repair it, but to see its structure and programming. However, before leaving, Admiralty plugged in the robot.The card directly locks all the most important programs in the body. Except for the robot itself, no one else is qualified to access it.

    But it does not affect its detection and reset. The core technology has always been the focus of confidentiality for each company.

    But the reset is also unsuccessful!

    Hourglass saw Lu Wei holding up the wrench and was about to knock it. It said, "Our factory has stopped producing this robot. If you break it, you will have to pay for it."

    Sundae made a scissor hand gesture, "I'm worth 200 million."

    Two hundred million is historical data. When it left the factory, the transaction price was two hundred million, and it was later sold to the fighting arena for five hundred.

    Now, he's here.

    "Clang"!

    In the blink of an eye, the sundae and hourglass were thrown into the waiting room of the testing factory. It was actually a cage, but it was different from the cages in the fighting arena. The cages here were all made of fiberglass, with bright lights overhead and light screens hanging everywhere.Positive news.

    Hourglass looked around, found a place to sit down, and asked Sundae to sit down.

    The sundae sat on the hourglass-shaped skull.

    "..."

    "Sit on the floor!" Hourglass pushed Sundae away. The two robots leaned side by side against the cage, watching the uniformed employees coming in and out.

    Hourglass turned its head, tilted its head, took out the memory card from its temple with its fingers, put it in the palm of its hand, and handed it to Sundae, "My memory card, you read the data, at least save the restrictions on us., you know too little, the young master is too stupid."

    Sundae punched Hourglass in the face, and the back of Hourglass' head hit the cage with a clang.

    "Don't say my master is stupid." Sundae lowered his head to pick up the memory card from Hourglass, and replaced the card around his neck. The data in the card will be automatically classified into categories. Sundae is no longer an ordinary robot. It will not follow the rules of Hourglass.So-called read-on-demand.

    It read it all, nothing left.

    After returning the memory card to the hourglass, it slowly digested the read data and made a special classification about the owner.

    Hourglass has been accompanying Shangnuan before Shannan was born. The Shan family has many children, so when Shannan was born, it was customary for everyone to give him gifts.

    But Shannan was different from other children when they were young. He loved to cry, and other children didn't like him. He cried from day to night, and from night to day. He could cry all night and all night, crying at the top of his lungs.

    Several aunts resigned, and the robot nanny was forced to go into sleep mode. In the end, my parents had to do it in person, and they cried with me.

    So they gradually started to work in shifts. After the parents took care of the children, the eldest brother took care of them, and the eldest brother took care of the second sister... Shannan was raised by his parents and siblings in turns. He was coaxed until he was five years old, and then he gradually got better.

    When he opens his mouth, the hairs on the whole family stand on end, so that everyone in the family becomes wary of him.

    Until he went to school, he would find trouble twice every week when he went home for holidays, which made everyone feel a headache for him.

    The robot can't cry, but its owner cries in a hundred different ways. It's so cute.

    But because of the favor of Shang Jia, Shang Nan slowly grew crooked and became a little loser who kept pace with Li Xiaochuan among the children of this generation. However, there were enough promising people in Shang Jia, and they did not restrain them like they did other juniors.Ask for a reward to the south.

    The hourglass goes into standby mode, it's just a robot, not a sundae, it's a robot like other robots.

    Shangshu's parents were at home that night, and Shangshen was lying on the sofa watching the live broadcast. When she saw Shangsheng, she sat up and ran over in a few steps, "Sister, can you help me see if the design of this shell looks good?"

    Shang's mother's eyes fell on Shang Nan. She patted the place beside her and said, "Xiao Nan, come here."

    Her long hair was tied back with a black hairpin. Her temperament was gentle, but her eyebrows were lively. It was impossible to tell that she was a woman who had given birth to so many children.

    [14:345 They were all picked up. Didn’t you find that their three personalities are different from Shang Jian Qiu and Shang Xin?]

    Shan Nan was stunned for a moment, he didn't pay attention.

    After Shang Nan passed by, Shang Mu ran her slender fingers along the broken hair on his forehead, "Where is your little robot?"

    "It was taken away." Shannan told the truth, "Can you help him get it back?"

    "Okay." Mother Shang smiled and nodded, "If there are no problems with the test, you should send it back to us. Your father has already called Xiao Lu and asked him to send it back if there is no problem."

    "Did you call Lu Wei?"

    Father Shang was sipping spring tea beside him and snorted coldly.

    Shang Nan didn't know why, so Shang's mother patiently replied: "Xiao Lu is Lu Wei's father. According to seniority, Lu Wei should call you uncle."

    She was so angry with her father that she said, "Your sister is stupid as hell. Your grandfather can't compare to her in terms of being strict. She just learned a few things from your grandfather."

    "You can be regarded as Lu's aunt, give him two slaps..."

    "Father," Shang Qiu appeared on the stairs, he interrupted Shang's father with a cold voice, "Lu Wei is a public servant now. If you slap him twice during office hours, Xiaonan will go to the Capital Center University the next day.Screen."

    Shangyian Qiu looked at Shangyin and Shangshen, choosing between the two for a few seconds, and finally looked at Jibai, "Call the main factory and send the sundae back before midnight."

    Shang Nan sat cross-legged on the carpet and raised his head, "Is it that simple?"

    "You are thinking too complicated. They are just going through the inspection process. They dare not damage the robot. But Lu Wei's purpose is not to damage the robot, but to access the chip in its body and access its entire program system."He took out a card and said, "Everything I win from playing mahjong will be given to you."

    Shangshu hugged Jibai and played with its hair, "They only have Shannan to take advantage of. By the way, why did Sundae damage those six robots today?"

    It seems that everyone knows what happened in the slum area today, but the details are too unclear.

    Shang Nan: "The sundae has been activated."

    Shang Jianqiu was the first to react, and he raised his eyebrows, "Are you in love with it?"

    "Wow." Shang Xu cheered dryly.

    Zhang Xin sat down at the farthest place from them. Her job when she got home at night was to test the robot system at home. She was still busy and indifferent, and she could also take care of her daily routine.

    "Probably not. I watched the replay of the fight. Sundae was activated when he saw Shounan standing up for him."

    "To be precise, it fell in love with Shanxin." After Shanxin finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

    Admiration let out another dry wow.

    After a long silence in the hall, Shang's mother raised her eyes and looked at Shangxin, "Xiaoxin, is your anti-access network protective enough?"

    Appreciation did not raise his head, "It's enough. There is currently no program that can break through my protective net."

    After a few seconds, she slowly raised her head, "But if they smash the robot and leave only the chip, my protective net will be useless."

    Crush?

    How can it be?

    At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Wei's robot bowed and reminded him, "It's time to send them away. The adversary said that you must see the robot when the time comes, otherwise you will be treated as dereliction of duty."

    The robot is talking about processing, which means that the old men who have been living in peace and quiet for a long time know about it.

    "I know, please arrange for someone to send them back." Lu Wei turned around in his chair a few times, but didn't get anything. All his work was in vain.

    The entrance and exit of the cage slid open automatically, and an infrared ray ran across the middle. There were several robots standing at the gate, and the tall robot that stepped into the cage lowered its head and said, "You can go."

    Sundae slowly raised its head. It stood up very slowly, its cold white face was lifeless, and the hourglass beside it didn't react at all.

    "No. A-r01200, No. Q-l7701, you can leave." The other party took two steps closer and repeated it.

    Sundae's eyes lit up twice, and it scanned Hourglass's entire body.

    The hourglass stopped working.

    It calmly stared at the top of the hourglass's head. Under the urging of the robot on the side, it bent down and picked up the hourglass.

    Before it could straighten up, its way forward was blocked. "Robots that have stopped working should be left in the factory for recycling directly."

    Anyone, as long as it is a human, would know how to refuse at this moment. At least the appreciator has the right to deal with his own robot, not to mention that the hourglass is a robot that appreciates individuals.

    But the robot program did not write these twists and turns. One party acted in accordance with the rules and procedures, and the other party believed that when two people came, they should leave together.

    "Please let me go back to my master now." Sundae made his first request.

    "Please keep it." The other party refused to give in.

    Sundae issued a second request.

    Third request.

    All were dismissed.

    The skin of the sundae humanoid faded away, and steel gray instantly covered its whole body. It did not hesitate to draw the knife from its waist and stab it into the chest of the robot in front of it. It watched the other person retreat step by step and fall to the ground.

    It held the knife, stepped over the robot's body, and walked towards the door.

    The fall of the robot in the cage triggered the robot security system in the factory. When Sundae walked to the open workshop, security robots slowly walked out one after another. They were in the same system and had the same shell and functions.The instructions implemented are also for the safety and rules of the testing plant.

    Sundae took two steps back, squatted down slowly, and gently placed the hourglass behind an instrument. The other mechanical arm was carried behind its back, and this time it transformed into a light blue light screen shield.

    A group of robots ran towards the sundae at the same speed. Their steps and movements were uniform. When their heavy and powerful footsteps landed on the ground, bursts of vibrations sounded like muffled thunder above their heads.

    Their purpose is only to leave abandoned robots that need to be returned to the factory for recycling, but if there are objects that hinder the completion of instructions, they will be listed as obstacles, and they will first focus on clearing the obstacles.

    Sundae's movements are more accurate and ruthless than before activation. Its shield is used to resist attacks, and its long knife can directly destroy a robot.

    Its shell was only slightly damaged, and these robots couldn't even cause minor damage to Sundae.

    However, after Sundae's visual system collected and transmitted the scene of these robots struggling to attack itself, Sundae's movements lost some smoothness, which is similar to its kind.

    Under cold instructions, they are killing each other.

    Its wandering, in the eyes of other robots, is a lag.

    The offensive is more intense.

    Sundae received a heavy blow on the head. His body hit an instrument and fell to the ground. He quickly turned over and stood up, breaking off the hand that was waving towards him. He put away the knife and ran towards the hourglass..

    Its programming tells it that it is wrong to harm its own kind.

    The hourglass was carried on its shoulders, and it changed its shape as it ran. The steel-gray motorcycle directly created the gate that had not yet been lifted.

    When it was almost midnight, there was a call from the Main Inspection Factory. The other party's tone was respectful, but dissatisfaction could still be heard. Bai Bai lowered his voice and said, "Speak slowly, I am listening."

    "Robot number Q-l7701 destroyed more than 20 security robots in our factory, and more than 30 were damaged. They just asked him to leave the abandoned robots for maintenance, and it seemed like it was out of control. So many robots were damaged, please be patientThe housekeeper told Mr. Shang that I found out too late..."

    Ji Bai asked softly: "What's wrong?"

    "The robot numbered Q-l7701 was uploaded to the robot system and classified as a super dangerous robot. The robot headquarters will soon send people to collect it and return it to the factory for strangulation. I'm sorry, I found it too late, otherwise..."

    The robot system is a department composed entirely of robots set up to prevent robots from getting out of control without being discovered and causing serious consequences.

    Each robot's data is automatically uploaded to their database.

    Continuous damage to other robots will result in a danger score. When the score reaches a certain value, the department will send robots out for a thorough cleanup.

    There are no humans in this department. It is a system that operates automatically. The only person with the authority to make an emergency stop is the person with the highest status.

    But asking for life for a robot, don't be ridiculous, it will only accelerate the destruction of the robot.

    After hanging up the phone, Shang Nan stood on the stairs and asked worriedly, "How's it going?"

    Ji Bai turned around and said softly: "Young Master, the sundae hasn't come back yet, but it will be completely destroyed in less than six hours, at eight o'clock at the latest."

    "What do you mean?" Shang Nan's heart suddenly rose. He and 14 didn't understand this world at all. The information 14 collected in the past few days was enough to make his entire system exhausted.

    Jibai briefly explained it to Shannan.

    "It killed more than fifty robots for the hourglass?" Shannan's hands and feet were cold, and Bai Bai explained to him what a thorough cleanup meant. It was similar to a recycling plant. The whole thing was dismantled, crushed, and erased Q-l7701all data.But in order to prevent someone from violating the rules and refusing to comply, this system was created to maintain the safety of residents and the balance of the robot group.

    He wanted to ask what would happen if all those robots were destroyed, but as soon as the idea came up, he was killed by Shannan. For the sake of the sundae, he destroyed all the other robots that were just executing instructions. What would he become?

    The sundae is a robot, and so are the others.

    Shang Nan falls into a huge whirlpool. Will his mission fail?

    Ji Bai: "Sundae seems different from us. It has its own ideas."

    "Is there any way to prevent it from being hunted down and cleaned up?" Shonan asked in a low voice.

    "Yes," Ji Bai nodded, "Destroy its chips, systems, control rooms, and all programs, and finally reorganize it."

    Shang Nan understood that it was no different from a thorough cleanup, it was just that he had to do it himself.

    "Then it's all reorganized. Will the sundae cease to exist?"

    Ji Bai: "Theoretically, yes."

    Theoretically, yes?

    Shangnan's face was pale under the bright white light in the hall. The blackening value of the sundae had already appeared. It had become a robot monster. It had its own ideas and opinions. If you dismantle it, you would be its owner.There is no guarantee that it will not fall out with itself.

    And after dismantling and reassembling, erasing all data, is a sundae still a sundae?

    A warm palm pressed on Shang Nan's head. It was Shang Jianqiu, who was standing behind him.

    Shang Jianqiu patted him on the shoulder and took the first step to sit down on the translucent spiral staircase. He said in a gentle voice, "You seem to agree more than I do that robots have feelings."

    Shannan lowered his head, "Yes."

    "You never thought so before. You often said that my views were stupid and idiot views."

    "People change, and I have changed." Shannan responded with ease.

    Jibai stood in front of the two of them, and its cold voice sounded low, "Sundae's data was cleared once in our factory, but the removal was not successful. Team leader Qin said that there was a problem with its system..."

    "Ji Bai, it's not a problem," Shangjian Qiu said easily with a smile, "Sundae and you are different from all robots. It is a completely autonomous robot. Once it leaves the factory, the data it absorbs is different.The program will also change accordingly, and it can refuse to be forcibly removed.”

    Jibai: "You mean, as long as it agrees, the data can be deleted."

    "Well, that's it," Shangjianqiu turned to look at Shangnan, "Xiaonan, you are its owner, it will definitely come back here. When it gets home, you go and talk to it."

    "Ji Bai, go upstairs to find Xiaoxin and tell her that the hourglass has stopped working."

    Seeing Shang Nan's unhappy face, Shang Qiu's tone paused slightly, and he lowered his voice, sounding softer than before, "The headquarters is a department established by a group of old men. To enforce the brakes, it needs to go through layers of approval.In the end, the person at the top signs and agrees and issues the order. Not to mention the time required for approval, Sundae cannot even pass the first level just because of the mistakes it made.”

    "One-third of the old men in that department hold the same ideas as us, and the remaining two-thirds are on the opposite side of us. I sent the humanitarian cleanup upwards, because these two-thirds have been blocking it.Unsuccessful."

    "But fortunately, the king has never supported the complete transformation of robots into tools. We are not the only ones who have failed." Looking at Qiu Ming's side face under the light, there are no traces of fine lines on his face, and he feels calm and gentle.

    After seeing Qiu leaving, Ji Bai also left with him.

    There are constraints everywhere, and he is not the only one who feels unfair. A family like the Shangjia, which is at the forefront of holding views, is treading on thin ice every step of the way.

    [14: At present, robots cover almost 80 to 90% of human's basic necessities of life. The opposite view is to support complete tooling, and certain changes must be made to the program to reduce the robot's intelligence level and control its ability to behave autonomously.]

    [14: When robots compress the human living space, properly destroy the robots.]

    [14: The proposal suggested reducing the number of robots by 30 to 40%, but because Shang Jian took the lead in opposing it, the proposal was never passed. Regarding Sundae, Shang Jianqiu wanted you to convince it toDestroy it, otherwise someone will take the opportunity to drag the connoisseurs into the water. If the proposal is passed, it will not only be the sundae that will be destroyed.]

    Shang Nan had seen his back stretched into long black shadows while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his home. He was forced to participate in the elimination of evolved creatures, but just by looking at it, his feelings were only temporary and superficial.

    He looked at those memory scenes as if he were watching a movie replay. He felt more like a spectator who was drawn into the scene. After the screening was over, he still had to return to his own world and life.

    At this moment, he had a brief emotional resonance with his true self.

    In this role, in this position, he is far less free than a street gangster.

    He can't give up the sundae, nor can he blindly abandon others for the mission. After all, the mission itself exists to save the world. These people, these robots, are all part of this world.

    The sound of an engine came from outside the house, and finally there were a few intermittent clicks with long intervals. The steel-shelled robot walked into the hall carrying another robot.

    It was injured, the shell was seriously dented in one place, and a few pieces of the shell on the arms and thighs were scratched off. Other parts were fine. This level of damage did not affect its use.

    After Sundae placed the hourglass against the wall, it did not return to its human form. It strode up to Shang Nan who was sitting on the stairs. It knelt down to say hello smoothly, and the cold-toned light in its eyes suddenly became gentle.Standing up, its kiss fell on Shangnan's shoe.

    "Master, good evening." It had just stopped functioning, and when it spoke, there was a slight noise in its vocal cords.

    Their shadows overlapped strangely on the white tile floor, forming a small group.

    Shang Nan leaned forward and gently touched the back of Sundae's head, "Good evening."

    Sundae straightened up. He knelt down in front of Shang Nan. When he straightened his back, he was looking at Shang Nan at eye level. In front of his little master, he restrained his aggression and lost the overwhelming momentum and sense of oppression. He looked peaceful.There is no difference with other robots.

    It raised its arm and pointed its finger at the sunken shell in its abdomen, "I'm injured."

    Shan Nan smiled and looked at Sundae, with tears in his eyes. He understood what Sundae meant. Sundae wanted the same treatment as Xiaoyang.

    The robot will call up historical data and compare it with new data. Its visual system records Shangnan's expression and eyes, and other sensors record Shangnan's body temperature, breathing, heartbeat and other physical signs. Sundae concluded: Compared with the lamb,The little master cares more about it

    The cold steel shell of the sundae faded away inch by inch, turning back into a young man with snow-white complexion and handsome blue eyes. It raised the corner of its mouth and said, "You love me, don't you?"

    Shang Nan blinked. He looked at the other party's almost pious eyes, and felt a faint sense of discomfort in his heart. The discomfort mainly came from the other party's unfair and rough fate.

    Inexplicably sad.

    "yes."

    [14: Love value is 100, blackening value is -1.]
