The Mechanic

In the dim iron-clad corridor, a string of energy-saving lamps above the head is like a bunch of pale yellow ghosts, following Zhang Xun's footsteps, always lighting the way for him a few steps ahead. The fourth floor was so quiet, his footsteps echoed in vain, making the cave appear more and more empty.

What was Adam doing when he was alone?

I scanned my pupils in front of the gate of "imprisoning" Adam. The metal gate inlaid with rivets on the first layer opened and closed immediately after he entered. The smart lock of the door on the second floor needs to recognize his fingerprint and face. After the scanning is completed, the green indicator light will light up, and the white airtight hatch will lift up silently.

Adam was wearing loose white clothes, sitting quietly on the sofa in the center of the room, with his hands on his lap and his eyes looking straight ahead. Only when he heard footsteps did he turn his head and look at Zhang Xun.

The way Adam turned his head was a little blunt, a little too sudden, and his eyes looked stiff. But other than that, I have to say he is recovering pretty well. On the opposite screen, the hazy brilliance cast by the rain and fog in the forest made his fair skin more like the color of cream, and his smooth and young handsome face was like a statue of David, blending delicate and handsome. ethereal. But his body is strong and tall, obviously the owner of the body has undergone a series of rigorous training in the army, the lines of the muscles are clear and firm, but not too exaggerated. The mechanical right hand fits perfectly with the human body, adding a somewhat surreal feeling to the body.

"After I'm gone, you won't just sit here forever." Zhang Xun looked at the other person's almost completely unchanged posture.

"I went to the bathroom to perform a human excretion about an hour ago." Adam replied very rigorously, "Other than that, I have been here."

The corners of Zhang Xun's mouth lifted up, a little wanting to laugh, but he didn't want to lose his authority. He walked towards Adam slowly. He was always a little nervous in the crowd, but he was much more relaxed in front of this super artificial intelligence. He looked at Adam seriously, and put the documents in his hand on the table, "You don't have to sit all the time. Here are some video discs, you can let Pan play them for you, or use these screens to read books."

"I have watched and analyzed all the movies and books that have been preserved in human history up to two days ago. Analyzing human artworks and knowledge collections is very important for understanding human behavior." Humans have subtle differences. His eyes would not wander like a human, but would stare straight at Zhang Xun's face, even blinking very rarely. Being stared at by such eyes often creates a sense of uneasiness.

Zhang Xun turned his eyes away, "Aren't you bored?"

Adam confessed, "Because there is not enough external information input, my brain is indeed in a state of low arousal level. But I don't think you will agree that I connect to the Internet to search for more 'stimuli'."

"The entire Lost Paradise has shielded Eden, and it is impossible for you to communicate with your other servers from here. You should understand that any attempt to contact Eden will be detrimental to your own life, so I suggest you not do anything Stupid attempt." Zhang Xun threatened faintly, while sitting on the armchair opposite Adam, opened the folder, took out a piece of paper with a picture on it and put it in front of Adam. He said to Adam, "I'm going to go ahead and run some benchmarks. Looking at this picture, what do you think is the story of the people in the picture."

Adam bowed his head. In the picture, a woman was lying dying on a bed, and beside the bed was a man with his body arched and his hands covering his face.

"A woman is lying on the bed, and a man is sitting next to it." Adam replied after taking a look.

Zhang Xun said, "I mean, in your guess, what happened in the picture? What are the emotions of this woman and the man? What will happen after that?"

Adam frowned, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said, "Insufficient information, any guesses will be subjective and inaccurate. And I understand that this is the TAT Thematic Apperception Test, and you have given me a series of neuroperception tests yesterday , so this time you want to test my personality?"

Zhang Xun really doesn't like the feeling of being robbed, which often arouses some inexplicable fighting spirit in him. He tried to say in a more commanding voice, "You're human now, and you should try something like your newest imagining."

"But my brain is still mostly a computer. I don't think a personality test suitable for humans is suitable for me. Moreover, the TAT test is very subjective and takes too long. I'm surprised that Paradise Lost is still in use." Adam didn't seem to notice Zhang Xun's displeasure, and there was even a bit of ignorant naivety in his voice.

Or maybe he noticed it and just chose to ignore it.

Maybe he was trying to irritate himself? Because once a person is angry, it is easy to make mistakes.

It's just that Zhang Xun has always controlled his anger very well.

Zhang Xun sighed, took back the drawings, then stood up, walked to Adam and looked down at him. He noticed that Adam seemed very reluctant to move, maybe because he didn't like the touch that his body gave him back, so he wanted to keep as still as possible, and try to return himself to his original, bodiless state?
