The Mechanic

Adam complained frustrated and aggrieved, "The human body is too difficult to control."

"Do you think it's easy to be a human?" Zhang Xun rolled his eyes and pushed Adam's body straight. There is no way to go on like this, so I had to push him to stand next to a server rack, "You lean here, don't move."

Fortunately, he considered the possibility that Adam could not quickly adapt to the human body, so he prepared a wheelchair in advance and placed it in the temporary passage from the warehouse to the Lab. He still found the wheelchair from the storeroom, used by his mentor when he was still alive.

So Adam sat in the wheelchair and was comfortably pushed by Zhang Xun towards the exit of the warehouse. Before leaving, Adam turned his head and looked at the servers that had been emptied by Zhang Xun. I don't know if it's Zhang Xun's illusion, but he thinks that Adam looks a little sad.

"What are you going to do with these servers?" Adam asked.

Zhang Xun said, "I will recycle a small part for research, and destroy most of it." As he spoke, he suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Why? Reluctant?"

"I'm not sure what it's like to be reluctant," Adam replied seriously.

The temporary corridor was built with the replaced old drainage pipes, filled with the stench of sewage. Every few steps a limp bulb casts a ghostly glow, illuminating rusted metal, clumps of dirty water and moss. Zhang Xun pushed Adam and walked quietly. Except for the creaking sound of the wheels rubbing against the uneven pipes, the only sound left was the breathing of the two of them.

Adam was moving his fingers, focusing on comparing the mechanical right hand and left hand, "This bionic arm is very finely made, did you make it?"

Being praised by Adam, Zhang Xun felt a little happy in his heart. But with a blank face, he still said in a flat voice, "Well, I prepared it for you before the seance."

"Sentence, you think of me as a god." Adam said in that unclear but very calm tone, "Some people in the ordinary world like to call me that. Humans are a race that likes to create gods."

"Because people are too small and their abilities are too limited. This universe is too big and too confusing." Zhang Xun lowered his head and looked at Adam's golden head, "What does it feel like to be regarded as a god?"

"You forgot, I didn't have feelings similar to humans before."

"What about now?" Zhang Xun didn't realize that his voice was very light, and his eyes were shining, "Now you recall the admiration and fear that humans have for you, how do you feel?"

Adam was silent for a while, as if thinking seriously, then shook his head blankly, "I don't quite understand."

Zhang Xun sighed softly, reached out and pressed Adam's shoulder, "It's okay. You will have a lot of time to experience it."

Said that they have come to the back door of the Lab. The copper-colored circular hatch was closed tightly, and there was a circular camera and a scanning hole beside it. Zhang Xun stood in front of the scanning hole, and a moment later, accompanied by a clear and gentle male voice, the door rose upwards.

"Welcome back, Zhang Xun."

Adam's eyes widened in astonishment, "Is there artificial intelligence here?"

Zhang Xun found himself enjoying seeing Adam's expression of surprise or admiration, but he carefully concealed it, with a serious face, as if it was only natural, "Well, this is Pan I designed and trained. Paradise Lost The only artificial intelligence in the world."

Zhang Xun lied. There is more than one artificial intelligence he designed, but this is the only one that has passed the review and approval of the round table and registered.

Adam looked back at Zhang Xun, as if he was very interested in him, "I thought you male humans have fear and hatred of artificial intelligence that exceeds the normal value range."

"Many people are indeed. But I also said that there are great individual differences between people." Zhang Xun pushed Adam into the gate, and at the same time raised his head and said, "Pan, this is Adam. He is descended The fruit of God's plan."

Pan's gentle voice sounded again, "Welcome to the Lab, Adam."

For the first time, an expression similar to a smile appeared on Adam's face. He looked around, as if looking at some amazing new world. The air was filled with the heat of water vapor, and water droplets condensed on the copper-colored walls. Stacked floors, metal stairs and railings, huge unfinished mechs, steaming engines, rumbling generators, hills of parts and gears, winding and narrow passages . Countless energy-saving light bulbs were dropped in the air by intricate cobweb-like threads, shining like a nebula. It's like a labyrinth where countless secret treasures are buried, and it has a surreal aesthetic feeling full of rust.

"This is your new home." Looking at the expression on Adam's face, Zhang Xun smiled proudly.

"New home?" Adam tilted his head slightly, "Isn't it a prison?"

"..."

"I think you have a good impression of me. This is very unusual." Adam looked at him as if he was very worried. "Will you be isolated by other male humans like this? Are you unpopular?"

Zhang Xun regretted being so gentle to him just now, and tried hard to control the twitching of the corners of his mouth.

Adding fuel to the fire, Pan said from the side, "Indeed, I have to activate the No. 2 Expulsion System once a month on average to drive away those who don't like Zhang Xun, Lab, and other mechanics."
