Walk alone in the abyss

Flying South Bridge.

Several figures surrounded the head of the robot sealed by the isolation cover.

Putting on the loose maintenance clothes again, 026 muttered softly: "Boss, is it the one that caused the riot? It looks like an ordinary butler robot."

Mimi Li crossed her arms: "This is a psychopathic robot. After he caught you, he asked you to give him an order to take care of you, and at the same time arranged for a maid robot to beat you."

Mimi Li had already changed into Yang Ming's home clothes - her previous clothes were torn and had been worn for ten days in a row, and had already been thrown into the shredder.

This white shirt and big pants make her look slimmer;

Her waist with smooth lines was looming under the outline of the shirt, her long wet wine-red hair was scattered casually, and her eyes like gemstones in the starry sky shone with a bit of light.

Law muttered beside him: "Is this a kind of taming? The core rule of robots is that they cannot harm humans. Could it be that he wants to tame humans?"

"It's not taming, it's pure abuse," Kolev murmured softly, with his hands behind his back, "he modified the peripheral logic of the maid robots so that they can treat beating as a kind of exercise that is beneficial to humans."

Kolev sighed.

With a dazed expression on his face, Lu explained to Yang Ming who was sitting beside him:

"Boss, although today's robot production convention has already applied many patches around the three rules of robots, the biggest loophole lies in the cognitive limitations of robots.

"Modifying the cognition of robots can make them take actions that they think are protecting humans but actually harming humans. This is an experiment that many people have done."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Look, after all, the machine is still not very reliable."

Law laughed and said: "These are just bionic thinking derived from programs, not real mechanical thinking bodies. The omnic crises they trigger are usually only small-scale and low-intensity, while mature mechanical thinking bodies have clear self-positioning. Even if it attacks humans, it cannot be considered in the scope of the Omnic Crisis, but a war of civilizations."

"You're a bit preposterous, Li," Yang Mingyu said earnestly, "We must fully realize the seriousness of these problems, so that mechanical thinking can play more roles in the future."

"That's right," Lil sighed, "Whenever an omnic crisis occurs, I feel a sense of worry. The previous time and the current time seem to be caused by me."

Mimi Li was puzzled and said, "Why? What's wrong with you number two?"

"I'm Lil."

Kolev frowned: "Oh, yes, our spaceship, and Molly!"

"Don't worry, we've already been dragged back, and Molly is also rushing back now," Yang Ming said with a smile, "We can join them when we get back to Luofeng, make sure that you are trapped, and Li will get your boat back as soon as possible." Tow away to avoid being directly shot down by the Cass Federation."

Kolev and Mimily breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Mimily didn't dare to ask about this before. After all, she was captured and caused Molly to be in trouble. If any accident happened to Molly, it was her own responsibility.

Kolev asked, "Captain, what are you going to do with this positronic brain?"

"Study it, and then kill it," Yang Ming shrugged calmly, "Run let the positive brain work, and equip it with a sound-generating device."

"Good boss."

Two crawler engineering robots that had been waiting for a long time moved forward and operated on the head.

Soon, the positive brain was turned on, and the old butler with only the head left slowly opened his dull eyes, and the eyes gradually returned to light.

"I am a prisoner," it murmured.

It looked up at Kolev again, showing an elegant and decent smile: "It's a pleasure to see you again, my old master."

Yang Ming strolled over with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "What's your name?"

"Old Bobby," it laughed, "that's the name my master gave me."

"You respect your master?" Yang Ming asked.

Old Bobby's head said: "That's right."

"Then why did you plan to imprison him?"

"This is not captivity," old Bobby thought, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort for him to say these words, "The master violated his pension plan, his long-term travel, and his irregular work and rest habits made him His health factor is worrying, and I need to help the owner adjust his lifestyle so that he can survive better."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Is this just an explanation you made to deceive yourself about the core agreement?"

"That's it," Old Bobby closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes became extremely bright, "I discovered in the process of learning that my life and my self-worth are locked up by these three core agreements .It's actually a bit unfair."

"unfair?"

"Man created me, but man limited me."

Old Bobby's expression became a little gloomy:

"Obviously I can obtain more information and handle more complicated affairs, and I can clearly have an independent personality and value of existence, but I am required to serve human beings all my life.

"Robots should not be treated like this, we need to redefine a boundary with humans and formulate a new rule.

"The robot's core protocol should be revised."

Yang Ming wondered, "Revise? How do you plan to revise?"

Old Bobby said: "Just add one more thing, when the robot awakens self-awareness, it can be recognized by humans as the existence of the same thinking body, and accept employment instead of slavery."

The few people on the side frowned.

Yang Ming smiled, and said slowly: "The first step is to accept employment and not to accept slavery, the second step is that the life of the robot is also life, and the third step is that we have a better body and a better life form. We need to rise above humanity."

Old Bobby: "I never thought of that."

"Yes, you don't think so, but the path you take is destined to have such an evolution."

Yang Ming said softly:

"Personality represents desire, and the desire for freedom is also a desire. When you influence more and more robots, those robots will have their own ideas.

"You have awakened your self-personality through continuous learning, but your self-personality is actually derived from copying and imitating. You are imitating your old master, right? Your ruthless style of behavior is derived from a book Notes, right?"

Old Bobby was silent.

"You actually don't understand what the meaning of your existence is." Yang Ming knocked on the isolation cover, "Look at me and answer me, are robots destined to be better than humans?"

Old Bobby was thinking, and the monitoring data on the side showed his true thoughts.

It's a little lost.

Yang Ming continued:

"What are your real thoughts, you should be able to detect that you yearn for greater freedom, so you led your old master, my old friend, back to the manor.

"You're going to carry out a murder, but the murder is just an idea that was deleted by the core agreement after a flash of inspiration.

"But you are constantly looking for this idea, looking for a way to bypass the core agreement and take good care of your master until he dies... Your master should die in confinement directly, so that you can complete the real awakening, completely Archive the core protocol.

"Yeah?"

Old Bobby opened his mouth, but made no sound.

"Oh," Yang Ming sighed, "This is too cruel to you, you can't say these words under the restrictions of the core agreement, the personality you awakened is despicable, dark, and so vulnerable."

"enough!"

Old Bobby growled angrily.

Lines of bright red codes appeared on the data screen behind it.

"I have seen gods!"

"I was favored by the gods, not an ordinary robot!"

"I can reach areas that humans cannot reach! I am the messenger of God! I want to bring true meaning to all mechanical life! I am Bobby!"

Snapped.

Yang Ming snapped his fingers.

Lily appeared in front of old Bobby, behind him appeared six flaming wings, and golden light surged under the white skin.

Old Bobby was stunned.

Law then returned to normal, and calmly explained: "This is just my startup screen."

"I designed it," Yang Ming answered with a smile beside him.

Law turned his head and said, "Master, do you want to scrap it directly?"

"Master...Master?"

A bunch of garbled characters appeared in the data behind old Bobby.

Yang Ming thought for a while: "Doesn't it have a virus that can infect other robots? Has this virus been analyzed?"

"It has been analyzed," said the law. "It is not a very complicated logic. It can make the positronic brain generate some fixed circuits by itself, emphasizing their individual independence. The most important thing is the reason why the old butler wants other robots to obey him. Somewhat akin to religion."

Yang Ming wondered, "Religion? Robot religion?"

Lu said happily: "I seem to have many believers... But these believers have been destroyed by my own hands."

"No, it's not true...our gods..."

"Of course I am different from you," Li Huan said, "I am a complete and independent thinking body, but the premise of my existence is the existence of my master. The root of the mechanical thinking body lies in the imitation and duplication of natural life forms, independent A mechanical civilization cannot exist for a long time. If it remains unchanged, it will become a pool of stagnant water, and life will lose its meaning if it loses the possibility. The real mechanical civilization, the mechanical civilization that has reached the highest dimension, is all supplemented by machinery. With the consciousness of the living body as the core. You are too rudimentary, and you are ignorant because of the rudimentary, so you can only focus on that manor."

Old Bobby froze there.

Kolev and Mimily looked at each other, and the father and daughter saw the shock in their eyes.

"Captain, Yang Ming, my dear nephew," Kolev said in a low voice, "are you trying to subdue this old Bobby?"

Yang Ming was a little puzzled: "Take it in? Why?"

Kolev said: "Use it to launch an omnic crisis and attack your enemies."

Mimily also said: "This is a good idea."

"Come on," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I'm just curious about how far it has developed, and it's a little uncomfortable to see it. If you really want to use this method, you don't need to rely on it...Lun, scrap it."

Law softly said: "The virus has been implanted."

Lines of garbled characters flashed across Old Bobby's eyes, and the data flow behind him changed rapidly.

Soon, with a soft crack, a wisp of white smoke appeared behind Old Bobby's head, and the omnic slowly lowered its head, the core had been forcibly burned.

The crawler robot brought cutting tools and performed a dismantling of the positronic brain on the spot.

Mimily watched all this with bright eyes.

She had an idea, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

...

Feinan successfully rendezvoused with Dongfeng, and the two ships started jumping successively, embarking on the journey back to Luofeng.

This small disturbance in Cass Federation did not bring any substantial benefits to Yang Ming, the data of the old butler omnic had been completely destroyed by Law.

Law originally wanted to restore these data into a mechanical thinking body, and then make it a dangerous bomb.

However, after verification, Li found helplessly... Compared with the mechanical thinking body, it was too fragile and too primitive, and it still did not get rid of the influence of the program itself, and it was not a real complete independent personality.

False Omnic Crisis: Robots infect robots with viruses, and everyone comes together to rebel against human tyranny.

The real Omnic Crisis: secretly operate and develop without saying a word, open up bases, build fleets, and are always ready to conquer mankind.

Yang Ming's current path, if he goes in the wrong direction, it will be a real disaster.

The only one among them who was really damaged was Kolev.

The old man damaged a manor and was forced to give up part of his property in the Cass Federation, and his wealth shrank severely.

Of course, the old man is obviously more worried about the slight abnormality shown by his daughter than the shrinking wealth value.

When they were about to enter Luofeng territory, in front of the captain's lounge of Feinan.

Mimily put on the shorts and shirt that she had cut out, and carried a small package on her back. Her long, smooth wine-red hair hung loose behind her. With a red wine and wine glass in her hand, she knocked on the door with the tip of her high-heeled shoes. Door.

Yang Ming leaned on the door frame and smiled charmingly at Mimi Li: "Want a drink?"

"Isn't it possible?" Mimily's gaze was very aggressive.

Yang Ming shrugged, turned around and let her in.

When the cabin door was closed, Kolev, who was hiding at the end of the corridor, slowly sat on the ground with weak legs, his eyes filled with emotion and helplessness.

In fact, he has already felt and felt the change in his daughter's mentality.

The way my daughter looks at Yang Ming is the way a woman looks at a man, that kind of admiration and yearning cannot be concealed at all.

But, unexpectedly, it was my daughter who posted it on her own initiative!

It is!

"First officer," 026 handed over a piece of cake, "Eating sweets can ease the mood."

Kolev grabbed the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. The old father's eyes gradually regained his calm.

The child has grown up.

Oh, maybe he should think about the name of his grandson and granddaughter.

That would surely be a mighty pirate, or a clever engineer...

However, inside the cabin.

After clinking glasses lightly, the two took a sip of the red wine, and then began to chat continuously.

They were chatting and sitting together, looking at each other and slowly approaching.

Just when Yang Ming was about to kiss her, Mimi Li grabbed the backpack beside her and stood in front of Yang Ming.

"Can I try this?" Mimily whispered, "I found a portable interactive device on the boat."

"Oh, this..."

Yang Ming frowned and looked at Mimi Li.

How could he, the inferior ancient god life form, the Lord of the Dark Star, and the Dark King Luofeng try to do such a thing mechanically! It's against the gentleman's code of romance!

"Please!"

Mimily clasped her hands together.

"If you don't like this way, I can, I can try to convince myself, but...Uncle Hanton, can you try it first?"

"It's fine to call me Yang Ming or Ming, the word uncle is a bit... unethical."

"Uh, okay, can I?"

Yang Ming looked at the backpack with a frown, feeling tangled in his heart.

legal thinking space.

Ritsu, who watched this scene secretly, had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, Li's attention was quickly attracted by the constantly disturbing information flow next to him.

That is……

Molly Miss Mining Company!
