"You will be a new generation of engineers, the future of Evolution."

Evolution's chairman Vincent stood on the podium and spoke impassionedly. Rows of new technicians in the audience held their heads high, no matter how rigid and serious they were, they couldn't hide the smug look on their faces.

Of course, they should be proud.

The work permits hanging on their chests are the best feedback they have obtained after studying hard for more than ten years. If they can become technicians of the Evolution company, which is leading the most cutting-edge technology in the contemporary era, what awaits them next is promotion and becoming the most valuable in the industry. As an engineer, no matter whether he will make any great achievements or make outstanding contributions to science and technology in the future, at least he will live his entire life supporting his family without worrying about it.Even if you don't hang out with Evolution in the future, if you mention your work at Evolution wherever you go, you will definitely not have to worry about finding a new job with a high salary.

"I hope you break through yourself, don't stick to tradition, create value, and create the future."

Of course, apart from the rigid and serious newcomers with their heads held high, there are also some eccentric ones among them.

Lucas imitated the speech of the chairman on the stage in a low voice and slyly, and winked at his friend Dino diagonally behind to make faces.

Dino calmly hooked the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows as a response, turned his eyes and continued to listen to the chairman's speech seriously, no matter how you look at it, he is a serious, unsmiling and good young man.

However, don't look at this Mr. Dino's serious and indifferent face, and even show a shy expression occasionally when talking to girls over the years, but in fact, he is still a little enthusiastic in his heart.

Lucas said to Dino after he got to know Dino well in college, "Dino, you are actually a slut, right?"

Although Dino refused to admit it, Lucas still silently made an unchangeable appraisal of this college friend.

After the chairman finished speaking, he walked down the stage and asked in a low voice to the assistant beside him, "Is it already arranged?"

The assistant pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Yes, sir."

"Then let's make arrangements," Mr. Vincent, the nearly fifty-year-old chairman, straightened his tie and said as he walked, "When this group of newcomers are most excited, some troubles are inevitable. We are also thinking about the future of the company and mankind. "

"That's what you said."

The assistant replied in a low voice, his face was still cold and emotionless.

A staff member in the distance called the new technicians to line up and walk out of the lecture hall, "Please follow me, please line up and follow."

Compared with the vigor on the faces of those newcomers, the expressions on their faces were indifferent.

But that's fine, this is the expression that an Evolution staff member should have.

What Evolution needs is this kind of person who can only obey and follow orders.Whether it's employees or robots, whether it's artificial intelligence or flesh-and-blood humans, Evolution doesn't need anything superfluous, as long as they know how to execute orders.

The chairman glanced at the assistant next to him with satisfaction, look, an obedient child like this is a good boy, isn't it?

Like the group of newcomers in the distance who were guided away one by one by the staff, the excitement, freshness, liveliness and enthusiasm on their faces... No need, no need at all.

Those things are too much.

They just have to be obedient.

As with employees, so with artificial intelligence.

Disobedient things will have the same ending as those two scientists who left their hometown many years ago and never came back.Oh, by the way, there is also the robot they created that should not exist in the world, and the ending can only be completely obliterated.

……

In the end, it seems that something insane and cruel should happen?For example, using high-tech to control people's thoughts, brainwashing employees, and other perverted methods, nononononono... not at all, although the times are advancing, a society ruled by law is still a society ruled by law. It is already such a high-tech and peaceful era. How could it be There is also such a frenzied scene in a thriller science fiction film.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the top management of Evolution is nothing more than worried that some products that they think should not exist in the world will be accidentally produced, so in order to prevent the scientists, engineers and technicians under them from innovative scientific research that should not appear, Or privately carry out research and development that is explicitly prohibited. In order to allow them to grasp the dynamics and effectively stop them at the first time, the high-level officials decided that they would distribute the third-generation Evolution DT robot to everyone related to scientific research and technology for free.

Of course, employees called Evolution must be equipped with artificial intelligence butlers. This is a good treatment given by the company, but in fact...

"It's just...surveillance?"

Dino squinted at the two large boxes standing in front of him.

"Don't tell the truth. After all, we are engaged in scientific research. Now that there are so many commercial espionage, it is inevitable that the company will guard against us."

While looking at the projection in the air, Lucas used gestures to operate the projection to browse the images, and the robot packing box he had just claimed stood beside him.

"So... after activation, enter the code on the work ID, and then it will automatically record and log in in the company system... Oh, it can't be used secretly."

"Enter the code on the work certificate to activate the program hidden in the code, and then connect to the system for monitoring..."

Dino still looked at the big box in front of him blankly.

"I said, why do you care so much about this? Although it hurts to not be trusted, we won't do anything out of the ordinary anyway." Lucas continued to study the instructions in the projection, "Then...make settings and settings according to your own preferences. Using... is no different from buying a normal robot."

After speaking, Lucas turned off the projection in the air with a big wave of his hand, picked up the box and prepared to go home,

"I'm going, it's so fucking heavy... I said Dino, it's great that the company will give you a robot for free, this is not something ordinary people can afford, even the old-fashioned third generation... so heavy , I said, I’m leaving, don’t think so much about it.”

Dino nodded, and continued to stare at the packing box in front of him without saying a word.

It wasn't until the big Lucas walked out of the technical department with his flowing hair that he came out of the technical department, and he yelled loudly at Lucas's back, "Hey, your back is heavy, so I can move it, me, me..."

As a result, Dino was the last one to go home from get off work that day because he didn't want people to see him struggling to drag the box.

Dino was very angry. After he entered the house, he sat down on the ground and rested for a while, and then the first thing he did when he recovered was to kick the box. It can be seen that he really dislikes the distribution of this company. down robot.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand the mentality and purpose of the company's employees who want to monitor them. After all, what they research is in the category of black technology in the past, and no one can guarantee that all employees are normal people.It is undeniable that there are many outstanding talents in the contemporary era, and no one can guarantee that no one will accidentally encounter any danger or create something dangerous. Therefore, the company has the responsibility to strictly control them more or less.

I think I heard old people say that scientists and engineers who just started to study artificial intelligence are not allowed to go home. Every day is like living in a concentration camp, and they can’t see their wives and children all year round.Now that they can come and go freely and enjoy the life of normal people, it seems understandable to have a robot butler to monitor them.

He really understands it all.

But the company had to pretend to him that it was to take care of them, which really made him feel disgusted, why would they lie, or the kind of lies that he could tell at a glance, really substandard.

What Dino hates most is lying, and even spits on those white lies.

It is precisely because of this extreme personality that the handsome Dino has never had a smooth talk with a girlfriend until now, and the longest relationship in college did not exceed two weeks, the reason is that the girl always cheated on him .

"He took care of your appetite, so he didn't say he doesn't like black coffee. Is this a lie? You don't feel the slightest bit of love for you?"

"If you like me, why can't you just say something straight? It's like how much I have paid for me and how much I have been wronged, as if I owe her."

Lucas was dumbfounded by what he said, and finally didn't even bother to argue with him.

There is no way, Dino is such a person, no one can correct him.

Besides, after all, he still couldn't look at this robot that belonged to him objectively and normally, because it was not a simple robot housekeeper.

It was sent to watch him.

He couldn't have the slightest liking for it, and even couldn't hide his disgust from the bottom of his heart.

Especially this is a third-generation robot. This company is really knocking on the door even more than when he was young. Now it is the fifth-generation era, and they actually put this third-generation model in the warehouse for an unknown number of years. The robot handles it to them, which means that they are not asked to pay any more money, otherwise he really wonders if the company is dealing with unsellable inventory in a curve.

But in any case, he must use and log in this robot as soon as possible, he has no other choice.

Evolution is the best place for him to realize his self-worth. He has always thought so since he decided to learn and research artificial intelligence. Now that he has come to the place of his dreams, he can't stop because of this.

So after doing a certain amount of mental preparation, Dino unwrapped the seal on the packing box.

After opening the packaging layer by layer, a silver metal cabin with a height of half a person appeared in front of his eyes.Because he has familiarity with Evolution's products, he knows without reading the instruction manual. He only needs to rub the corners of one side of the cabin body lightly, and the metal cabin will pop open with a "squeaky" sound.

What appeared in front of him was a boy-like robot sitting with his eyes closed, blindfolded, and curled up with his knees in his arms.

Although it is known that it is a robot, in the eyes of uninformed people, its appearance is almost the same as that of ordinary people.

Whether it's the slightly curly short black hair or the long eyelashes, they are exquisitely crafted, and they are all exactly the same as human beings. Dino touched the robot's neck lightly, and even the touch from his fingertips was exactly the same as human skin, delicate and elastic, and even the legs that were hugged had manly hairs. .....

Yes, it turned out to be a male robot. Damn it, he thought it might be a sexy cute girl.

But boys are boys, anyway, even if it is a sexy cute girl, he will hate it.After all, it was just a thing sent to monitor him, and even if it looked like it, what could it do? Dino looked at the robot even more contemptuously, after all, it was just a lifeless machine.

Although he studies intelligent robots, this does not prevent him from having a large degree of prejudice against intelligent robots in his heart, because he knows them too well.

But no matter how disgusted he was, he couldn't conceal the engineering man's enthusiasm for machines.

Dino didn't seem to notice at all that he seemed to have squatted in front of the robot and stared at it for a long time, and kept touching the robot's body structure by touching left and right.

Don't be dirty, he just wants to know whether the interior of the third-generation robot is also made into a humanoid skeleton like the fifth-generation robot. Of course, after pressing hard and touching the arm of the robot, he found that the third-generation robot in front of him is indeed as imagined. Although it does look like a human bone to the touch, the robot is still a robot. He touched the side of the small arm slightly, but he didn't feel the touch of the tendons.

How can it be so hard and made so hard and rough?

Dino frowned. It stands to reason that even if the third-generation robots did not have the detailed design of the fifth-generation robots, they wouldn't be able to deal with things like this...

Although he has never been in contact with three generations of robots, the models he has been using to study in college have also been used for four generations of robots.But he has read in books that the three generations of humanoid bone technology are already quite advanced...

Dino continued to check the structure of the robot. The chest part can even touch the hard metal plate directly, let alone the head...

Fingers moved along the robot's chest, neck, and head, and pressed while touching, but when it reached the position behind the ear, a faint beep sounded.

The robot leaning on the metal cabin opened its eyes and sat upright instantly. A pair of blue eyes stared blankly at Dino who was surprised by the sudden opening. A sweet and immature boy's voice filled the room .

"Hello, welcome to the Evolution intelligent robot series products. Please refer to the inner bottom of the outer packing box and the back of the robot's head for details on the serial number. If you want to enter the preference setting program, please voice control."

Dino held his chest and took a deep breath, this shit came too fast, he wasn't ready to open it yet.

Speaking of which, this is very strange. If he remembers correctly, since the third generation, the opening position of the robot should have been changed to the back of the head, but how could the opening position of the robot in front of him be behind the ear?

The open position behind the ear...

Dino's heart skipped a beat, hesitantly rummaged through the bottom of the outer box and tore off the robot's serial number, then turned around and pressed the robot's head, brushing the messy hair to find the serial number.

However......

When Lucas came, he opened the door and yelled, "Dino, you are talking nonsense, you have the first generation of robots here? The first generation of robots have been completely destroyed more than ten years ago, okay? There is no such thing as the first generation of robots in this world." robot."

Dino knelt on one knee in front of the robot, staring straight at the robot in front of him without even turning his head, just reaching out and passing a piece of paper.

Lucas took over the serial number on the outer packaging, and it clearly printed DT-Ⅲ-1001 in black and white.

Then he checked the robot's head like Dino did not long ago, but when he checked the top of the robot's ears, he gasped.

"God..."

Lucas looked at the robot in disbelief.

Dino muttered in a low voice, "Who put you here..."

And the robot with blue eyes, empty eyes, crossed legs and staring straight ahead, just sat quietly in the metal cabin with no expression on his face.

At the position behind and above his left ear, no matter how messy the hair is, it can't cover up the clear mark that was branded.
