The Mechanic

Chapter 54

Zhang Xun watched him leave, still with a sad face, "Are you only sixty-three..."

"More than 50% is already a very high probability." Adam walked in front of him, squatted down and looked up at his mechanic, "If I fail, will they neutralize me?"

"Not necessarily, you are too precious after all. Maybe they will brainwash you in a harsher way and turn you into a real slave. But one thing is for sure, I can no longer be your mechanic. They will find Another mechanic will take care of you."

"If that's the case, my chances of passing will increase to eighty-three percent." After Adam finished speaking, he grinned, his teeth white and straight.

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows, "Where did the 20% come from?"

"Twenty percent I would rather be neutralized than have someone other than you be my mechanic." Adam said seriously, "For you, I will work harder to pass the test."

Zhang Xun's heart skipped a beat.

No... What Adam meant was that if it was another mechanic, maybe he would be tortured cruelly, so he would rather die than think about it. Certainly not all because of his strong emotional dependence on Zhang Xun...

While Zhang Xun was trying to convince himself rationally, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

………………………………………………

That night, Zhang Xun, like the past two weeks, did not return to his room, but fell asleep in the observation room next to Adam's room. Lying on the old sofa, he opened his eyes in the dark, watching the tangle of metal pipes that sometimes rumbled overhead. Some resemble intestines, and others resemble earthworms.

Sometimes he has this illusion that Lab is a giant toad, and he lives in the toad's gut.

The trauma caused by the bombing to Lab has been repaired halfway. At the current stage of tight budget, he and Adam found a lot of recyclable materials in the garbage disposal plant in the past two weeks, which relieved the urgent need. But there are still many urgent repairs, and there are many projects waiting for his arrangement. But he couldn't think about all of these, all his energy was on Adam, and all his thoughts were on the acquired psychological evaluation.

Did he succeed in turning Adam into a man? Does Adam really have human feelings? Could So-Called Emotional Simulators Work for an AI Brain? If it doesn't work, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

But at this moment, there was a knocking sound behind the one-way mirror that had been closed for most of the past two weeks. The first time he thought he heard it wrong, until the second wave of knocking came, he sat up frowning, grabbed the remote control on the coffee table and pressed a button.

The originally black one-way mirror lights up and becomes a "window". And Adam was lying on the window, beating with his mechanical right hand while waving his other left hand in the air.

Adam is calling him?

Zhang Xun looked at his watch, it was two in the middle of the night...

What are you doing?

Zhang Xun sighed, lifted the blanket and opened the side door connecting the two rooms, "Adam, you don't sleep most of the night..."

"Axun, I want to give you a gift." Adam said, and handed Zhang Xun a rusty old metal cigarette case. The cigarette box looked like it was picked up from a garbage disposal plant.

Zhang Xun took it suspiciously. Seeing Adam smiling brightly and looking forward to it, he couldn't understand what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd. Woke him up at two in the middle of the night just to give him a present? Can't wait until tomorrow morning?

He opened the box anyway, to find lying inside the box necklace that Adam had found the first day they arrived at the garbage disposal plant. The necklace has clearly been re-polished, almost like new. He opened the small box of the necklace pendant and found an old-fashioned chip that was eliminated eighty years ago.

"I found this from a garbage disposal plant, and it's in good condition. But due to the limited memory space, I can't put all the system data I designed into it. I just picked some new technologies that you might be interested in , such as consciousness uploading and merging, nanorobot design drawings, artificial intelligence language decoding... But I don’t have time to give you all the details, I can only give you some key information and thinking patterns.”

Zhang Xun found it difficult to absorb everything he saw in front of him, "You give me your technology...?"

Adam nodded, "Yes. I think you will like it. Some of these technologies are very core, and it should be difficult to obtain by hunting groups. But sorry, I didn't give you any information about weapon development or that may threaten the normal world. Biochemical research data, I don't think you're interested in that either."

Zhang Xun's mind turned upside down, and his throat felt astringent. His voice was a little hoarse, "You...why are you giving me this now?" And it was in a necklace.

He remembered what Adam had told him: the story of medieval lovers exchanging pendants with hair on them.

"If you enter the emotional simulator, they will erase the memory from that day forward three days. In other words, I will not remember what happened tomorrow. But I hope I remember that I gave you a gift, so I I used the mini computer we picked up at the garbage disposal plant to complete all the input overnight." Adam looked at him faintly, not sure if it was because of the dim lights, but his eyes were very tender and affectionate, "If I fail the test, at least You can have some...souvenirs."
