    Chapter 219 AI Era

    Almost all robots will not change their first program, let alone hand over their chips to others.

    Shonan was led by Sundae into the abandoned factory that had been transformed into a robot headquarters. Although it was decorated with colorful lights, after looking at it for a long time, it gradually became pleasing to the eye.

    At the door, the shaky-looking door frame suddenly detached from the door, and the steel frame swung. The sections of the steel frame were quickly connected together, forming a steel frame robot more than three meters high. It only had an abdomen.There is a square iron box that serves as the central control room of the robot. The rest is composed of steel frames, and there are even exposed wires.

    "I'm Yake, the guard here." It introduced itself, and even folded its body almost in half to salute Shannan.

    Shang Nan put his hand on the five long steel frames that it stretched out, and shook his hand, "Hello, Shang Nan."

    "This is your first identity. You also have a sed identity. You are the lover of our leader." Yake said in an extremely serious tone.

    Shannan glanced at Sundae, "When did you make it public?"

    The robot next to him looked at Shannan and said, "Just save it in their database."

    "..." Shannan was speechless for a moment, "Is this what the robot considers a circle of friends?"

    Sundae pulled Shangnan into the factory, and Yake clanged behind them.

    Shannan saw Bodi, whom he hadn't seen for half a year. His face was as dry as tree bark and stuck to his face bones, but his eye sockets and nose were not red. He usually loved drinking, so his eyes and nose were always red.

    The old man was wearing a white sweatshirt, and the robot next to him held an umbrella and fanned him. The robot's face was the air outlet of the air cooler, which was blowing right at the old man.

    Even at his age, Bodie still knows how to enjoy.

    Shannan stood waiting at the door of his house. When he saw the other person, he hurriedly greeted him and took the parasol from the robot's hand. "Why don't you let us pick you up on such a hot day?"

    "I want to walk by myself." Bodi curled his lips, but he couldn't see exactly how, because he had a thick beard, and only the fluffy white beard on his right cheek was twitched twice.

    "I haven't been here yet." Bodi looked around, looking at the majestic and wide white building in front of him, standing like a jade mountain under the sun, "The Lu family fell?"

    "Yeah," Shonan nodded, "It's fallen."

    "Fuck it, that family is a pest." Bodi cursed in a low voice, but his tone still sounded full of emotion.The Lu family was kind to Bodi.

    "Is your family here?" Bodi asked again.

    "Some are here, some are not. My second sister admires you very much and has wanted to see you for a long time." Shannan said.

    Appreciation is a leader in the field of artificial intelligence and has been studying technology in this area. She is the most excited about this robot awakening, which means that humans have taken a big step forward in the field of artificial intelligence..

    If it weren't for the fact that Sundae was no longer the ordinary robot it was before, Admiral might have just taken it apart and studied it.

    Since the official issuance of robot rights, the status of robots has improved a lot than before. However, many people are still gradually accepting the status quo. After all, things that were used as tools before suddenly transformed into creatures that are almost equal to themselves. They still need toIt took some time to fully accept it.

    Bodi also said: "What caused such a big thing? It was caused by a robot. How could this robot have self-awareness?" He spread his hands and even his beard was covered in disbelief.

    "It's a pile of scrap metal and programs that you all made yourself, and in the end, it took advantage of it." Bodi said in a tone that hates iron and steel, "You guys still have a lot of potential.Directly create an opponent for human beings and get away with it?"

    Shang Nan shook his head, "The people above have promoted everyone in our family."

    "All promoted?" Bodi didn't quite understand what their monarch was thinking.

    "I didn't get promoted."

    Bodi's eyes became filled with hatred this time.

    The robot in the restaurant was looking for Bodie's wine in the wine cabinet. After a while, it took out a bottle and asked Bodie if he could have it. Bodie was annoyed by the question, so he simply went through it with it.

    The robot serving in the restaurant is a cup, and its head is also in the shape of a wine glass with a wide top and narrow bottom. It hurriedly held Bodi's arm and said, "Please wait aside."

    The cup finally brought out two bottles of wine that satisfied Bodie, who was already sitting at the dining table eating meat.

    He poured a small glass of wine for Bodie, "Drink in moderation."

    Bodi glanced at the wine glass. The liquid was less than one-third of the height of the glass. He frowned and was about to reach out for the wine bottle in his hand, but Shannan grabbed it first.

    "You should drink less. From now on, you will stay at Shanjia. I will take care of you in your old age. Don't drink yourself to death."

    Bodie gnawed on the steak, "A connoisseur can build this kind of pick-and-seek robot, but he's afraid that he can't build something that will allow me to drink for a few more years."

    "The body is your own, why bother to suffer." Shannan handed the wine bottle to the cup, motioned for it to be put away, and continued, "Even if something like that is made, it won't be too comfortable to use."

    Bodi hummed a few times, with a look of disdain and reluctance.

    The steak is marinated for half a night, then slowly fried in butter over low heat until it is medium-cooked, and then topped with a few mint leaves. The sweet radish skin is the solution, and the thin slices are rolled into a flower shape.

    Shonan took out a book from under the table and spread it out. He had just read two lines when he heard Bodi say: "You really have to work hard not to miss these few minutes."

    Just as he was about to answer, there were footsteps behind him, and at the same time a cool hand pressed on his shoulder. Immediately, the person sat on the chair to the right of Shannan.

    Sundae was wearing sea-blue pajamas, which made his skin even more white. He was too handsome to look like a human, but he really couldn't see any difference from humans.

    Until the cup placed a plate of something like green glass in front of it.

    It picked up a piece with the same white fingers and fed it into its mouth. The crunching sound was extremely clear.

    Bodie slowly raised his head, and the old man met the eyes of the young man opposite him, and finally slowly fell on the last mouthful of metal he fed. The latter chewed the metal expressionlessly, and saw that when he was being observed, the sundaeThen he slowly said, "Hello Bodie."

    "Who are you?" Bodi blew his beard, "Are you the robot making trouble in the capital?"

    Making trouble?Sundae said calmly: "I just hope that vulnerable groups can get some protection."

    "Humans can't chew metal."

    "But humans are cunning."

    Sundae is more human than before. In the beginning, even if it transformed into a human form, there was still a slight sense of machinery in its body. But now, its movements have become smooth and natural, and it can only speak when it speaks., occasionally a slight noise from the vocal cords can be heard.

    Bodi looked at the other person and looked at Shannan, "Shangjia's field of artificial intelligence has been developed to this extent." He looked around, grabbed a clean knife, and when he stood up, he crossed his arms across the table.He stabbed the sundae hard with the knife in his hand.

    There was a very harsh sound of friction between metal and steel. After Bodi plunged the knife into it, the seemingly soft skin was so hard that he couldn't even scratch the knife in his hand. It even flew away from the knife.go out.

    Bodi rubbed his numb wrist and sat down muttering. Shannan leaned over and looked at the place where the sundae had just been poked. There was no trace left. He breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "Teacher, luckily this is at home.", if you were outside, you would be taken away by the Robot Rights Association right now. If you harm a robot for no reason, you will be detained and fined."

    Bodie pushed aside the dinner plate in front of him. He was more curious about the sundae and the principle of self-awareness in robots.

    Sundae said calmly, "All species in nature will evolve."

    "You fart, I believe in the evolution of dung beetles, but I don't believe in the evolution of robots." Bodi's beard became manic again, shaking like bouncing cotton.

    Sundae lowered his head and continued to stuff the metal piece into his mouth, "Forget it if you don't believe me."

    Bodi: "..."

    After a few seconds, Bodi had a new question. He looked at Shan Nan, "The job of this robot in your home is..."

    Why do you naturally sit down and eat as soon as you show up?

    "Lovers, we are lovers," Shannan whispered, "Bodi, its name is Sundae, we are in love."

    Sure enough, Bodi was stunned for a long time, his eyes wandering over the faces of the two people opposite him, and finally shouted "Nonsense!". The pages in Shang Nan's hand fell from his fingers in fright, and the one in Sundae's hand fell from his fingers.The metal piece fell onto the plate, and he calmly picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth again.

    "You, you, you, you're out of your mind," Bodi stuttered angrily. His reaction should have been what Shang Nan thought Shang Jian Qiu would have done, "You plan to live with a robot for the rest of your life? This is a robot, you and the robotWhat kind of love is this? Does it understand what love is?"

    "The love it understands is the answer entered by humans in its database. Without the database, no matter what love it loves, it can't even carry out daily life normally."

    "Look at it sitting here pretending and eating like a human being. It calculates everything, even love!" Bodi slammed the table twice.

    Shan Nan closed the book. He thought for a while and whispered: "Body, when it comes to love after calculation, I think humans are better at it than robots."

    "Humans calculate whether love is cost-effective and whether to love or not, but robots calculate how to love. I like the latter better. Bodi, you are my teacher. I hope..."

    "I hope that if my master and I hold a wedding in the future, you can be there. Even if you still don't like it, I think you will definitely bless us."

    Sundae said what Shannan was going to say later, Shannan and Bodi happened to look at it in disbelief.

    Bodi pointed at the sundae, "Look, look, it counts even what you say, what else can you say in the future?!"

    Sundae lowered his eyes. Even if he was ridiculed by Bodi, his mood did not fluctuate. His mood would only fluctuate because of his owner.

    Shannan did not sit in an office in Shanjia's headquarters building. He chose to be a deputy team leader in the Artificial Intelligence Development Office of the industrial park. He didn't ask for the assistant assigned to him by the team leader, and Sundae was with him.

    Not many people have seen Sundae in its true form. Even in its robot form, very few people have seen it. Although it has several important positions, it is not a bad idea to leave it to others to deal with. The only things that need to be solved by its hands areYou need to send the email to it, and it can directly process and transmit it back.

    Its main task is to follow its master, and the rest are just additional tasks, not even instructions.

    Its current position is Shangnan's assistant. Although Shangnan's job tasks are not heavy, they will have many ideas of their own when conducting artificial intelligence research in the city.

    The department is divided into three groups. The R&D group is the core department. Shannan is currently in the information technology department. His work is mainly to collect various data after the application of artificial intelligence in the market, and to collect effective suggestions and feedback from customers on artificial intelligence.

    During the meeting, Shang Nan was sitting in the front seat. He was dozing off while spinning his pen in his hand. The minister didn't say anything to him. This kind of young man would probably stay in each department for a while. After he figured out the situation, he would sit down directly.If you are in a manager or above position, how can you really hang around at the grassroots level?

    On the contrary, it was Sundae standing behind who woke up Shannan and reminded him to listen to the minister attentively.

    Shan Nan lowered his head and yawned, leaned back on his chair, and worked hard for another two hours. Finally, he heard the minister say that today's meeting was over, and he could clock out.

    He and Sundae were the last to walk out of the conference room. The sun was setting brightly outside. Sundae reached out and touched the back of Shonan's hand, "Do you want to go out to play?"

    "What are you playing for?" Shonan glanced at the sundae in a suit and leather tie. It almost always appeared in human form when it was in the company. If it weren't for the identity entry that revealed its attributes, it would be difficult to tell with the naked eye that it was actually a robot..People in the company initially thought that Sundae was just for people from the upper class who came to experience life.

    I didn't expect him to be the leader of the robots, and what's even more unexpected is that the leader of the robots actually serves the young master who appreciates the house. That's okay - after the robot rights are established, all robots can choose to break up with their original users.Open the connection, or choose to continue the connection.

    You are already a leader, why are you still willing to be a slave of humans?

    Compared with Sundae's serious suit and leather shoes, Shannan's shirt has two buttons unbuttoned and his tie is in his pocket. Compared with the raw and immature boyhood, he is now much more mature and calm.

    More people watch Sundae than Sundae. Human beings have rich emotions and can have emotions about anyone and anything, but Sundae is cold and not so attractive.

    "Go to the fighting arena."

    Shannan paused and asked, "Fighting ground?"

    He had almost forgotten that place.

    Golden ocean playground, micro-gold fighting arena.

    "Where to do what?"

    Sundae raised his hand, his palm facing one direction, blue light glowed in his palm, and a track shot out from under his feet. Soon, the tires of the black car parked at the side of the parking lot in the morning were rotated left and right, and it started.Get the vehicle and let it come along the track on its own.

    After getting in the car, Sundae drove and said: "After the emergence of robot rights, all robots were canceled one after another. The relevant departments asked them to rectify and start business."

    "Then what?" Shannan opened a bag of potato chips. They tasted like ham and cranberry, very good, weird stuff.

    Sundae continued: "The benefits gained from robot fighting arenas are very objective. Many venue owners are reluctant to give up this piece of fat, so they change the format and still use fighting to attract customers, but the robots participating in the fighting can sign up voluntarily, and asFriendly exchanges are the premise, and the bottom line is that the robot chip cannot be damaged."

    "As soon as this regulation came out, there were more robots in the Weijin Fighting Arena, and the business became better."

    Shang Nan stared blankly ahead, "No businessman, no traitor."

    After he finished speaking, he reacted again, "Why did you take me there?"

    "Ji Bai has been the champion there for a month, let's go over and challenge it." The light in Sundae's eyes deepened, and it has been recorded in its historical data that it and its owner were severely beaten by Ji Bai.It doesn't seem to count. It and its owner must have been played with at that time.

    "Butler? Bai Bai?" Shang Nan almost shook out all the potato chips in the bag, "How can it appear in the fighting arena and still be the champion? Doesn't it still want to serve my big brother?"

    Sundae has complete control over the whereabouts and data changes of the robot in the system. "After it awakened its self-consciousness, the chip split into two, and it had two chips."

    The car was driving fast on the track, and Shannan's brain was also running rapidly. He slowly said his guess, "You mean, it has two chips. In addition to the original white chip, there is a new white chip.", because a chip represents a robot life, is that what it means?”

    "Well, what is in the fighting arena is a robot life that has differentiated from both White and White, but it is also White, and it shares everything with White. I remember this phenomenon is called split personality in the human world."

    Shang Nan: "We have split personalities. Not only do you have split personalities, you can also split into clones."

    "Is it still as powerful as the original one?" Shannan thought, if they are equally powerful, he and Sundae may not be able to beat each other.

    Sundae was very calm, "It's three times more powerful than before."

    After ten seconds of silence in the car, Shang Nan's voice recalled coldly, "Let me go back."

    Finally, we came to the Weijin Fighting Arena.

    It's not dark yet. There are not many people in the playground, but there are many spectators in the fighting arena. Two-thirds of the auditorium is filled, and the big screen is scrolling with the robot players who are about to play tonight, andLast week's winner - Bai Bai, among the strange robots, is as beautiful and elegant as a god.

    Shang Nan poured the last few bites of potato chips into his mouth. He puffed up his cheeks and looked at the fighting arena, which was completely different from the first one. The previous fighting arena gave people an eerie feeling. The rusty railings looked likeThe display screen is about to fall down at any time, the uneven playing field, and the auditorium exudes all kinds of strange smells.

    It is much better now. It looks like it has been renovated. Each row of the auditorium is separated by a glass wall. The glass wall is not just a glass. Basic information about the robot players is constantly scrolling on it. During the pause,Then everything turned into a light blue light screen.

    The playing field is larger than before. Although it is not flat, it has been designed by a special person. It is somewhat similar to a hump of different heights.

    This is a highly difficult competition venue. A total of more than 20 different venues are displayed on the light screen, and there is even a forest of swords and a rain of swords.

    "Have you signed up?" Shannan asked.

    Sundae nodded, "Signed up, and submitted your name together, the two of us together."

    Shannan's facial muscles twitched, "Who wants to be with you?"

    "Then who does the master want to be with?" Sundae's eyes were as soft as moonlight, but the color was extremely dark. "This fight will only be meaningful if we become the winner together."

    This is also the place where Shang Nan and Sundae met for the first time. The Sundae at that time was sold right after it left the factory because Miss Lu couldn't activate it. After losing her patience, it was sold here for 500 yuan.

    Its database at that time was still clean. Seeing the cruelty and indifference here, it absorbed it very quickly.

    It was rescued by Weiweiya, and saw Weiweiya's head rolling under its feet. The robot's sensors allowed them to share the suffering and torture suffered by their kind.

    Shan Nan thought of Lu Xia, a member of the Lu family, who secretly looked at him in the VIP auditorium. He didn't know where she was now. He moved his fingers, looked away from the shining display screen in the fighting arena, and askedSundae, "Sundae, can you let me see what happened after you left the factory?"

    Sundae's palm touched Shannan's forehead. Shannan looked straight at the person in front of him, somewhat out of focus.

    The research and design of Sundae was carried out by Old Man Qin and his members and students. It took almost seven years of energy to successfully produce a Q-l7701. As long as the first robot is put into market application, only mass production can be achieved.It's no longer a problem.

    So not only the design and R&D, they are also paying attention to the follow-up status of Sundae.

    It’s just that the Lu family cares about *** and promised to upload a detailed report to the industrial park every month. Before that, the working group wanted to try out the robot by themselves to see if it could be activated, but unfortunately, as early as one dayFrom the beginning, when they designed this robot, they had set this group of people up to be a bunch of data in its settings, and they could not become its masters.

    Moreover, only when they are truly used can emotional robots be truly endowed with something akin to life.

    Lu Xiaxia is so brilliant. In the first week after receiving Q_l7701, she was so happy that she spent the whole day wandering around Q-l7701. She put all the things that boys might like in front of it.

    "Old man Qin said that only by treating you well and letting you feel love can you be activated and I can become your master. Do you feel it now?" The daughter of a rich family has never pleased someone so much, but she thought that the other person was justRobot, so what if you want to please, it doesn’t understand at all.

    Q-l7701 will answer Lu Xia's questions. It sits quietly most of the time, either on the sofa or on a chair.

    In the first week, Lu Xia was very interested in Q-l7701, so he had seemingly inexhaustible patience. However, in the second week, this patience began to ebb.

    But she doesn't just put Q-l7701 aside, she also takes Q-l7701 with her when she plays golf.

    Just forget to bring it back.

    I forgot that time, Q-l7701 stood on the golf course from sunny time to sunset in the afternoon, and finally night fell. It was not until the staff patrolled on a motorcycle that they discovered a robot standing here.

    The staff hurriedly called the Lu family to inform the Lu family. When they received the call, Lu Xia had already gone to bed.

    "Let it come back on its own, it knows the way."

    Since it was not activated, it was not fully functional, and it received new instructions, there was no sense of crisis. Q-l7701 was walking home from the golf course. When it walked to the sky, fish belly turned white, and the dew on the path staggered and fell from the grass blades, making it wet.The robot’s trouser legs and uppers.

    When it returned to the Lu family, the people of the Lu family were having breakfast. They thought it was dirty, so they asked the servants to change its clothes.

    After almost a month, Lu Xia had completely forgotten about it. He only occasionally said hello to Q-l7701 when he came back from playing outside.

    So most of the time the robot stands silently in the living room, dining room, corridor, or in the corner or warehouse.

    When Lu Xia was in a bad mood, he would hit it to vent his anger. It was a robot anyway, so what if it had pain transmission? It couldn't be activated. What was the use of a robot that didn't recognize its owner?

    "If you like standing, just go and stand in the yard."

    Q-l7701 went to stand in the yard again. The sky was overcast, as if it was going to rain. At first, the robot was worried that the rain would damage its body, but fortunately, it stood still from the first day to the third day.It didn't rain.

    It's fine if it doesn't rain, but the central control reminds it that the wear and tear on the fuselage during this period is a bit serious. If possible, it is best to return to the factory for maintenance.

    It didn't understand humans. After the punishment station, it asked Lu Xia to perform maintenance on its fuselage.

    Lu Xia was already annoyed and told him to go away. Lu Wei was by the side at that time and said with a smile: "Okay."

    Q-l7701 followed Lu Wei and was taken into the Lu family's oil pool. It was pushed into the oil pool by a group of robots. The sticky oil instantly wrapped its body. Its eyes were still very light at that time., as shallow as transparent crystal, it looked at the laughing Lu Wei in a daze, not even aware of its malice.

    Later, it was pulled out and cleaned by the housekeeper. The housekeeper said that in an hour, someone from the fighting ring would come and take it away.

    Q-l7701 stood next to Lu Xia and saw the housekeeper accepting the five hundred yuan. Then he glanced at himself and saw that the fat driver was very strong and grabbed his arm and stuffed him into the car.

    At the beginning, there was only one robot, Q-l7701, in the back compartment. It stood alone inside. The car body bumped, but it did not fall. It just bumped along with it, and its loneliness and helplessness also bumped and undulated with it.

    It originally thought this was the robot's grave, but it didn't expect that more and more robots were being thrown up from behind. It was squeezed to the ground and could no longer stand. The entire fuselage collapsed. Its arms passed through the legs of the robot next to it.In his head, he could see the rusty battery of the robot next to him.

    Q-l7701 was transported to the fighting arena. The back compartment was smoothly connected to the connection on the back door. The robots were thrown out one by one and dragged to the basement cage of the fighting arena.

    The driver patted the leader Zas on the shoulder: "Today's goods are not bad..."

    The picture disappeared as soon as it was placed here. Sundae withdrew his hand, and Shannan suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes refocused.

    In just one month, the playback was completed in less than five minutes, so what about the sundae?It was forgotten in every corner of the Lu family. No one cared about what a robot was thinking, or in other words, they didn't think about anything.

    If Sundae had not been activated at that time and had not yet developed self-awareness, how would it feel now about what it had experienced?

    Shounan didn't ask, Sundae said it himself.

    "Fortunately they don't like me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to meet my master." The area of the sundae's snow-white skin became smaller and smaller, and was finally wrapped in a deep steel gray. The color of the robot's eyes was like the calm depths of the sea.Standing straight, stopping is no longer about standing and waiting, but about examining and squinting.

    Shang Nan's vision was blocked by tears. He wanted to speak, but his mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton. He couldn't make a sound or open his mouth.

    If he had learned about what Sundae had suffered at the beginning, he might have simply felt unfair for the other party. At this moment, he was really distressed, even suffocating, especially since Sundae at that time did not even know that what he had suffered was actuallyNeglect and abuse, it will do whatever you say.

    Seeing a few tears slipping down Shang Nan's face, Sundae's voice slowly sounded, "Humans usually cry for many reasons. Master, you must be crying because of me now."
