History of New Mechanical Records

The case has reached a dead end.

Song Xian's guardian is the daughter of a veteran politician of the Liberal Party, so he must not be offended.She insisted that she didn't know anything about Song Xian, "How long do you want to keep me in the security department? My lawyer is coming soon, Mr. Clark. Let me tell you the truth, who still treats robots as What's going on? You insist that it is our responsibility to record and report, this is really ridiculous-do you think I have time to stare at Song Xian all the time? I am very busy. In our family, only the servants use machines people."

Clark thought, you stinky bastard, and said calmly, "In this case, please go back."

The woman stood up together, the pendants on her ears were jingling, and there were three silver rings hanging from the belly button exposed on the short skirt.With her pointed and colorful fingers, she grabbed the bag on the table in the interrogation room, which was worth two properties in the center of Versailles, stepped on eight centimeter high heels, and walked out with twists and turns.

"Stupid." Without looking back, she gave Clark a middle finger, slammed the door and left.

Seeing the woman walking away, Clark picked up the porcelain cup on the table and smashed it on the door.He took two big breaths, then threw all the laptops and documents on the table to the ground, and kicked the table over.He thought that he must drag out the rubbish in the gutter, see the light of day again, and destroy it to powder.

***

Li Luo was woken up by the alarm clock.

He got up with a grunt, washed for 2 minutes and groomed for 3 minutes. After 10 minutes, he had finished eating instant cereal and was ready to go out.

Today Li Luo is going to meet Li Qingshu's former student, Andre Smith.Andre was Li Qingshu's most valued student back then, but he didn't have Li Qingshu's heart to serve the country.After graduating from the University of Versailles where Li Qingshu worked as a teacher, he stayed at the school and became a professor, teaching and educating people. For more than ten years, he has gradually grown from a small postdoctoral fellow to supporting the University of Versailles alone. The articles published by the artificial intelligence department of the United States almost represent the guiding lights of the next mechanical age.After Li Qingshu's death, he worked tirelessly to support Li Qingshu's laboratory, and gradually perfected his mentor's unfulfilled wish.Li Luo was more than ten years younger than Andre, and this visit was for technical issues.

When Li Luo was driving to Andre's residence outside the city, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Did Xiao Si hug me to bed last night?" He wondered suspiciously.After thinking about it for a long time, I opened the car window and smoked in a state of distraction.

Andre's home is like a large factory, except that there is a small residential house inlaid next to it.If Li Luo's house is like a piece of post-modern porcelain, simple and exquisite, Andre's house is a steam train that was disused thousands of years ago, rusty but full of classic feeling.Andre's brown hair has been gradually grayed by the years. He asked the housekeeping robot to serve tea in front of Li Luo, and said slowly, "If you don't understand, please feel free to ask me again."

"Andre, thank you. I would like to ask another question—do you think that robots have souls?"

"What do you think?"

Li Luo's gaze wandered for a moment, "Little... Li Si, I don't know if you still remember, I brought him to your house to play with him before. Li Si is the best robot made by my father. He passed Turing (Note 1), the human society compatibility evaluation over the years has been higher than 98% - this is a test where the average score of a robot is only 62%. From the observation results, I think it can be concluded that the robot has its own Personality and way of thinking, but in principle, I don't think their 'personality' is exactly the same as ours."

"Robots and us are not the same species. This is inevitable."

"Then do you think that human personality, if computerized, may be a manifestation of a disease of the mechanical brain?"

"The possibility of this is very low. If there is a neurological disease in the mechanical brain, most of it can be killed by the built-in software. The few remaining will not be enough to show a complete personality, or soul. Very few Maybe, but very rarely. On the other hand, with current technology, although it is impossible for an informationized human personality to be compatible with a mechanical brain, a solution is not impossible."

"Well. Do you know much about such technology?"

Andre shook his head. "The mechanical brain is far more perfect than the human brain. The market for such a technology is not large."

The implication is that no one has the money to do it.

Li Luo stood up and bowed: "Thank you."

Andre: "Do you like your robot very much?"

Li Luo said calmly, "He is one of my father's most important legacy, it is his hard work of countless days and years, year after year."

Andre let out a "huh": "Professor Li's handicrafts have always been synonymous with 'perfect'."

Li Luo rolled his eyes in his heart: "Thank you very much for your compliment to my father."

Andre: "Xiao Luo, don't forget that robots will use any means to achieve their goals. Your uncle treated the robot as his son back then. The drama of ten years of blood is thicker than water, but your uncle He was carelessly dismembered and dumped for a guardian chip. Your father—maybe I shouldn't say that—but I'm one of his best friends, and I don't want any accidents with his child and his heart. Do you understand?"

When leaving, Li Luo thought, "Maybe I'm the crazy one."

This house is like a maze, and I can't get out with GPS.Li Luo observed and scanned for a long time, and found that this villa has at least five floors, three floors above ground, and at least two basements underground.The back of the house leads to Andre's laboratory—the dilapidated factory he bought.The corridor is extremely long, with nine bends and eighteen bends, and the doors of the rooms on both sides are all exactly the same.Li Luo would not be too surprised to see the two twin ghost girls in "The Shining" appear at the end of the corridor at this time.Li Luo wandered around for a long time, and the housekeeping robot he caught casually couldn't figure out why, so he had to go back to Andre and ask for an automatic guide code, download it on his personal terminal, and barely saw the light of day again.

"Isn't this old man afraid of dying inside and no one will collect his body?" Li Luo thought exhaustedly.

After coming out, I found that Li Jianyue said that he was going home tonight, and Li Luo's head was bigger than two.Minister Li Da'an is busier than Gyro and only returns home once a month or two.Although she is a member of the supervisory department, she was a rough soldier before she took office. These years, she has been criticized by the media, saying that she pursues a high-pressure policy, disturbs the people's lives, does not understand bullshit, treason and collaborating with the enemy, and opposes the destruction of robots. Social burden, Li Jianyue is indifferent and tough outside, but when she comes home, she continues to scold the mothers of the media indifferently and forcefully.

It's not easy either.Li Luo sighed, and ordered a Cantonese restaurant that Li Jianyue liked in the center of the city, and asked Liszt to come back to have a meal with Jianyue anyway.

"Siri, what's left of today's itinerary?" Li Luo lit a cigarette as soon as he got in the car, and Siri's clear female voice popped out an appointment for the repair of three robots.The mechanic Song Xian injured before his death is still lying in the intensive care unit.Li Luo was the only one left in Versailles who was still active. He felt that he might need to buy an extra pack of cigarettes, or his spirit would collapse.

In the end, Li Luo bought today's third pack of cigarettes before eating.

Liszt's stomach is made of iron.He couldn't eat much, but just to accompany Li Luo and Li Jianyue, he held the cup obediently and kept drinking Guanyin tea.Li Jianyue just got off work, rubbing her forehead, her dark blue uniform was crumpled and draped over the back of the chair.Li Jianyue kept eating beef rice rolls and black pepper cowboy bones, with a delicate face similar to Li Luo's, and slightly curly brown long hair tied neatly behind her head, she said in a calm tone, "VCC reporters all It's like there's water in their heads. They think they can save the hostages by writing a few words? Do they think it's my business to destroy urban renewal? How much money did that old thief Schindlersin pay them in the Senate?! These mean and dishonest people People who think they have the truth, only know how to yell, can't get anything done! A bunch of noisy trash."

Li Luo added some tea for her, "Miss, calm down. Do you want to add another beef ball?"

Li Jianyue said angrily, "Okay, order another milk tea for me."

She turned her head and asked Li Si again, "How's work going?"

"Our team is currently dealing with the case of the Palace of Versailles last time. The workload is quite heavy, but it is very fulfilling. This case is relatively difficult and may... involve some big names, so it will probably be changed hands soon." Li Si sandwiched a piece Try the pumpkin, neither salty nor sweet.He once thought that according to Clark's temper, he would definitely investigate to the end, but during the meeting in the afternoon, he heard Clark's intention to let go. Liszt was surprised and relieved at the same time - he didn't have to be late for dinner at night and leave early.

"You have handled your work and social affairs very well in the past two years." She smiled when she said this, as if recalling the past: "You just left school, and your brother and I were very worried that you would not I'm afraid that something will happen to you. Later, I saw that you are very capable, and you can understand many things without us telling you. Xiao Si, Sister Jian Yue only wants you to go on according to your own will, do you understand?"

Li Si nodded.

"Yeah, your sister was afraid that you would be spoiled by the robots of the third class and nine classes, so she insisted on checking the backgrounds of the other robots in your group. I tried to persuade you." Li Luole exposed Li Jianyue's background, "They are from the Security Department. The gossip style of those detectives was all brought up by Jian Yue."

Li Si looked very serious: "Last year's year-end review, some members of the team said that I always investigate cases at random, like a fly that penetrates every hole. It seems that there is a family connection."

Li Jianyue rubbed her arms and sighed, "You know what! A bunch of white-eyed wolves!"

Li Si chuckled, Li Luo laughed loudly, and squeezed Li Si's hand quietly under the table.

This is Li Luo's habit since he was a child: after making trouble, he always has to run on Li Si.It used to be commonplace, but recently Li Si didn't know what happened, and became unexpectedly sensitive to this kind of movement; obviously it was just a joking touch, but Li Si felt that his entire arm was stiff, and his breathing became short of breath.This isn't the first time this has happened in the past two weeks.

He observed himself carefully these days and found that he would not have this kind of reaction to others.Only Li Luo.

No one else would have had this... made him feel that hot, wary reaction in his chest.

He quietly clenched his fists.

"Huh?" Li Luo looked at him suspiciously.

Li Si drank half a cup of tea pretending to be guilty, "It seems to be raining."

This Cantonese restaurant is located in the busiest area of ​​Versailles, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, facing the sparkling water of Lake Ina and the White Stone Bridge of Ina flying over the lake, adorning the lake area like falling snow on a corolla.The restaurant is like a hollow carved lantern, with vermilion carved windows and yellow lights, watching the crowd quietly amidst the whistling wind directly passing through the skyscrapers.

Li Jianyue wiped her mouth, and when the first thunder fell, she calmly mouthed to the two of them:

"It's going to change. Be careful."

The author has something to say:

The ignorant Liszt and his green love.
