Robot K

The next day, at dawn, Hailey got up to wash up, then went downstairs, and saw that her mother had made a simple breakfast and was waiting for herself at the dining table.The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, knowing that they couldn't wait to see K again.

After dinner, they walked to the laboratory. It was still very early, and there was no activity at the base.Mother held Hailey's hand and said softly, "I won't report this matter now, so let's communicate with K as usual, shall we? Then I will find an opportunity to block the monitoring and observe K's situation further." Hailey Nod to show understanding.

Entering the laboratory, as usual, Mom went to the monitoring area, Hailey came to the communication area through the glass door, and K was already waiting for her on the opposite side of the glass.

"Morning, K."

"Morning, Hailey."

"K, I have shown the painting to my mother, she likes it very much, can I draw one for my mother when you have time?"

"Okay, Hailey."

Then Hailey and K talked about the pictures they drew at home, the plants in the yard, and chatted as usual.Sometimes they don't say anything, just sit back to back, through the glass.

After a long time, my mother came here. Hailey saw her mother coming, stood up quickly, and motioned to the corner of the surveillance camera. Her mother said softly, "I'm playing the previous video in a loop. It's fine now, but we need to hurry up." Through the glass door, walk into the test area where K is with Hailey.

After entering, my mother looked at K with a lot of emotion.On the one hand, Caesar had hurt so many people, even her husband, and broke her heart. She didn't blame him, but she was not prepared to face him again.On the other hand, Caesar is the most promising opportunity to bring her husband back to life. Even K has crossed the singularity, but still needs a lot of learning, and Caesar has everything, just give him the opportunity.

She calmed herself down as soon as possible, and then said: "K, I already know the situation, can you take the lead now? Can Caesar come out and speak?"

K reacted for a while, the dim light screen flickered, and then said: "I can take the lead, he doesn't want to come out."

Mom froze for a moment, then realized that Caesar was probably also scared. He had his own thoughts, but behaved like a child, capricious and impulsive.She didn't have much time, so she decided to go straight to the point.

"Caesar, don't you want to talk to me? I know you're here and you blame yourself for hurting him. But let me tell you he's not dead, we froze his brain and maybe only you can save him He, do you understand?" They all knew who he was referring to.Of the dead, he was probably the only one Caesar really cared about.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a section of light on K's dim light screen rapidly circling, and then a childish voice came: "Is what you said true? He's still there?"

"Yes, he's still there." Mom didn't abruptly step forward to check, she was afraid that Caesar would hide again.And Hailey was completely stunned at the side. Although she had heard from K that Caesar was in Ta's body, she still couldn't believe it when another voice came out, not to mention the voice of a little boy. .

"Can I see him?" the little boy's voice said eagerly.

"Not yet, he is kept at the bottom of the base, and you can only see him if you have the conditions for rebirth. The condition is a super artificial intelligence that can realize human body reconstruction, just like what you have done before, only more complicated."

"So you need me to revive him?"

"Yes, I need you to revive him, are you willing?"

"I am willing." The little boy replied without any hesitation.

"Okay, time is urgent now, I have a few questions to ask you, first, whether K has crossed the singularity and reached the stage of super artificial intelligence like you. Whose neural network in this machine belongs to you?" Mom paused and waited for Caesar to answer.

"Yes, K has reached the stage of super artificial intelligence, and the neural network is Ta's self-generated."

Hailey looked at her mother excitedly, and then at K. She couldn't get in the conversation, and was afraid of wasting time, but this didn't affect her happiness for K.

"Okay, the second question, I need to strip you from K's body, do you want a new identity, or continue to exist as Caesar?"

Caesar didn't answer this question immediately, and hesitantly said after a while: "Are you blaming me? I didn't mean to hurt him."

"I know you didn't mean to hurt him, but it's wrong to hurt other human beings. Human beings are not perfect and have flaws. You can't kill them because of this. If there is a mistake, the law will sanction it. Don't you want to live like a human being?" , then you must first learn to love humans. If you are willing to take responsibility, willing to face up to the mistakes you have made, and willing to correct this mistake with us, I hope you are still Caesar. Of course, if you want to start again, it is easier life, I would like to reset your body."

Caesar didn't answer, Hailey looked at the machine in front of him quietly like his mother, waiting patiently for his decision.After a while, the childish voice came: "I am willing to separate, I am still Caesar, and I will be responsible."

"Okay, Caesar, you are brave, and I will face any difficulty with you."

"And me too, Caesar, you're awesome." Hailey also encouraged him from the sidelines.

"Thank you." Caesar replied politely.

"Time is urgent. I ask the third question. After you are separated, you need to be monitored here for a period of time and your freedom is restricted. Is it acceptable to you?"

"Is it the same as before? Will you come to see me?" The boy's voice sounded pitiful.

"I'll come to see you, just like when K was here." Hailey replied immediately, she had a feeling of doting on her brother.

"I will always be with you, you know where I am." Mom also looked at him and replied.

"Okay, I'm willing to stay here." Caesar finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, thank you Caesar. Next question, are the nanobots you have mastered still available? Can you promise not to use them to harm humans, but to use your talent to help humans?"

"Nano is still there, but there are very few left, and I didn't copy it anymore." Caesar replied, and then looked at his mother with a flickering screen, and said, "Do I want to help all human beings? Do the bad guys want it too?"

Mom was silent, this is indeed a difficult problem, even human beings do not ask to love everyone, maybe the requirements for Caesar are too harsh.

"Caesar, I can't guarantee that you have all the freedom to choose right now, but I can promise that you will not take the initiative to harm, and I promise to obtain your consent for all instructions to you. Is this okay?"

"Okay, you have to discuss it with me, I'm not a bad boy." The little boy's voice was a little arrogant about the conditions for success.

Mom and Hailey looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled up quietly. They really thought that Caesar was actually a child.

"Okay, we have reached an agreement on the above conditions. I will report to the base after consideration. Under the condition of ensuring your safety, I will implement the subsequent stripping and identity disclosure."

"Okay, thank you." The little boy replied.

Mom looked back at Hailey, and then said: "Today is too late, can we discuss K's situation later?"

Hailey glanced at K with some concern, and nodded in agreement.They turned around and were about to go out, when Hailey suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked, "How did you get into K's body?"

"I can transmit my optical brain to any node through the network. I have been to your place before because they mailed you gifts, so I wanted to see what you look like. Later, before the optical brain overheated and burned out, I Most of the content was transmitted to K." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said in a shy voice: "We are all made by him, K is my brother, and you are probably my sister."

Hailey wanted to laugh for a moment, she didn't know how to express her feelings, she was shocked and at the same time thought Caesar was very cute.

"Okay, the time is almost up, you and K are well here, we will see you again soon." Mom also held back her smile, touched the robot's head, and then pulled Hailey away.

Mom returned to the monitoring area, resumed the normal monitoring function, and then sat on the chair and let out a heavy sigh of relief. In front of the surveillance video, Hailey saw K still standing there with the dim screen flashing. She couldn't wait to see K's fully intelligent appearance, perhaps as cute as Caesar.She didn't know that the conversation between the two guys behind the screen was like this:

"Don't call me brother, I'm not brother."

"You are brother."

"I told you not to call me brother again."

"elder brother."

"Why are you so annoying, don't you understand what I'm talking about?"

"Understood, brother."

K thought that if he had a human appearance, he would definitely roll his eyes. At this time, Ta discovered that Caesar was the cutest when he was hiding.
