Little Robot on the Run

Decided to reward the scientist.

Nan An sat very quietly.

At this time, it was still raining outside the window, and the neon lights were flickering, outlining his thin back——

Seemingly out of his sight, officers were pulling up cordons here and there, loading body bags into vehicles that littered the streets.

"Let me think about it, where should I start..." Professor Biddle turned off the communicator and looked at Nan'an, "Ellie said you took the cubs to geography class, right?"

Nan'an nodded.

"Then you must have seen the human world at that time." Professor Biddle said, "A long time ago, about 300 years ago, humans were not so densely populated, and they could freely build cities on land.

Although there will be games between countries, everything is developing in a good direction, including technology. Humans invented mobile phones, tablets, and computers more than 300 years ago, including robots without human forms. , they help deliver meals at hotels and register at hospitals.For people at that time, this was a very common thing. "

"Then..." Nan'an asked, "Why did it become like this?"

"People at that time felt that they could control technology, and the human brain was much stronger than machines." Probably because of Nan'an, Professor Biddle used very popular language, "So people began to vigorously develop technology, and every country developed Technology is the measure, but it is also the beginning of a loss of control."

Nan An opened his eyes wide: "How come?"

Professor Biddle: "Because of superiority."

Nan An was taken aback.

"Superiority?"

"Correct."

"Every region feels that it has a lot of resources, manpower and wealth. Even if the machine gets out of control, they can stop it. Therefore, in the next 200 years, human technology has reached an incomparable height, which is the peak period in the history of technology." Bi Professor Del looked at the neon lights outside the window, his eyes gradually darkened, "But after this, the situation became more and more difficult."

Nan An froze and looked at him without blinking.

"More than 200 years later, that is, around 2250, mankind experienced a huge disaster, known as the Age of Apocalypse." Biddle said, "At that time, human society had already created AI robots, and they were distributed in every Every household, human beings have a sense of dependence on it. Because they can do housework and deal with various things, they live like humans, but obey the rules of society more than most humans.”

He paused, and continued: "But one day, something happened."

"A robot turned on the heater without permission, just because in its algorithm, the temperature below ten degrees needs to be turned on." He said, "However, the heater is close to the curtains, not only burned to death The sleeping owner also caused a fire in three buildings, and more than 1000 living residents died in the flames."

Nan An whispered: "How come?"

"Because they only have algorithms. In this logic, human commands are lower than precise calculations. So after that, humans introduced the "Three Laws of Robotics."

Biddle looked at Nan'an and asked softly, "Do you know this?"

Nan'an nodded.

When he was at the Kepler base, the staff had popularized science on him.

But at that time, his attention was all attracted by the stars outside the window, and he didn't listen to such laws.

So he shook his head slightly again: "I don't know."

Professor Biddle leaned forward and handed a booklet in his pocket to Nan'an: "There are the basic rules of Rose City and the blueprint of the three laws of robots, but the current Rose City uses the "Five Laws of Robots". "

So Nan'an opened.

On the first page, it was old vellum, with a drawing of a rose in bloom.

It seems that the history of human development spanning hundreds of years, with inexhaustible but old traces, falls on this single rose.

Immediately afterwards, Nan'an saw a passage.

[Humans passed the three laws of robots on September 2240, 9, and they will be implemented immediately. 】

Nan'an's gaze moved down.

See the three lines of small characters below, with the three-sentence rule——

[Robots may not injure humans, or stand idly by while witnessing human danger. 】

[Under the premise of not violating the first law, a robot must obey the orders given to it by humans. 】

[Robots should try their best to protect themselves without violating the first and second rules. 】

Seeing Nan An's concentration on reading, Professor Biddle said, "This is just the beginning."

"What do you mean?"

"Humans' self-righteous sense of superiority makes them ignore the powerful logic behind robots."

His tone was steady, and Nan An felt that he was really telling a story, with the calmness of watching the whole era, which had nothing to do with them now.

So Nan'an speculated: "Is it the law that can't restrain the robot?"

"No." Biddle shook his head: "The definition is wrong."

"Son, let me ask you a very simple question."

"You say."

Biddle: "If the robot thinks that humans are in danger, then what is the danger?"

Nan'an thought for a moment: "For example... fell into the water, or was hit by a car on the street?"

Biddle smiled: "Yes, but not."

"No one can get the definition correctly, including the robot that has been formulated." He said with a sigh, "Therefore, this huge human disaster was caused, and it was also the end of the peak era and the beginning of the apocalypse era .”

Nan'an seemed to be frightened, he held the corner of the manual tightly, and opened his eyes wide: "Could it be that..."

"Yes." Professor Biddle nodded, "I know what you want to say, my child. In the eighth year after the introduction of the law, the robot came to a conclusion-it is dangerous to think that human beings are not ruled by them."

"It was an unprecedented disaster. Hundreds of millions of robots had their own consciousness. They communicated with each other, gathered in the open space, brought guns created by humans, like an army ready to go, and then, in the name of protecting humans, invaded in all aspects. human society."

Nan An took a breath carefully.

In front of him, he seemed to see countless robots, bloody towns, and people's terrified eyes.

"So." Nan'an asked, "Did they succeed?"

Biddle shook his head: "No."

"The scientists at that time built a new city with a population of only 100 million people a year after the disaster began." Biddle said, "This is the prototype of the city of roses and silver bells. They built a brand new base , and the solid city walls, resisting the attacks of robots. In the end, in the city walls, scientists discovered that they could directly shut down the robots by modifying the three laws and adding a zeroth rule."

"what is that?"

"The entire human population must never be harmed." Biddle said, "At the same time, start the destruction process immediately."

Nan An opened his mouth, as if he was completely stunned. He seemed to want to say something, but he heard the communicator ringing.

So go to answer the phone.

The communicator in the laboratory was placed in the corner, and Nan An struggled to hook the wire before pulling it back.

He frowned, as if he was still immersed in the story just now, but when he got connected and heard the other party's voice, Nan'an's brows instantly relaxed, and he responded softly with his face propped up, and then ran back.

"Lin Ze?"

Nan'an nodded.

"He asked me to go back to my residence in the afternoon." Nan'an said, "Go to the front desk to get a courier first, and then send me back to rest."

Biddle smiled: "I've never seen him like this." "Huh?" Nan An was slightly taken aback.

"He was under too much pressure," Professor Biddle said, "so most of the time, he was alone."

"As a scientist in Rose City, he can't make the mistakes of the previous three laws, but he can't completely abandon it and bear the safety and lives of tens of millions of Rose residents." Professor Biddle said, "So many times, he behaved not close Human, but I hope you can understand."

Nan An whispered in his heart that he would.

Even though he is a robot, he doesn't understand much human emotion.But the big villain, in a way, was a good human being, at least helped him and took care of him before he went south, although not so tenderly.

"So what are the next two rules?" Nan'an asked, "Who made them?"

Biddle smiled: "It's Lin Ze."

As he spoke, he got up slowly: "The last two of the "Three Laws of Robotics" were only obtained after the split of Yinling and Rose ten years ago, and they are the highest rules of use in Rose City."

"Article [-], permanently abolish the first three and the zeroth law." Biddle said, "And the fifth article is..."

"Follow the Institute's "Artificial General Intelligence AGI" and strictly implement it. If there are risks, the Institute and the developers will fully bear them."

"There are nearly 300 regulations written by Lin Ze, and they are still increasing until now, ranging from the specifications of each robot's parts to the large ones that have repaired the loopholes of all robot tragedies in the past [-] years - including the prohibition of bionic technology, etc. .”

Nan'an looked at Biddle, not knowing what emotion it was.

It's strange, obviously he is in the forbidden category, but when he heard the rules formulated by Lin Ze and the pressure he was under, he suddenly wanted to cry.

He sniffled, trying to make the redness of his eyes less obvious.

At this moment, I heard Biddle say: "It's getting late, I have to go back."

"As for the split between the two factions, that's another story." Before leaving, Biddle took out a biscuit from his pocket and gave it to Nan'an, "This is a reward, you listened very attentively."

Nan'an reached out to take the biscuit.

He looked at the figure of Professor Biddle leaving, and it took him a while to recover.

Without further hesitation, he carefully hid the biscuit in the drawer and came downstairs.

He was going to meet the scientist who made the laws.

Nan'an decided to make omelet rice for Lin Ze today, and instead of drawing fierce bats, he wanted to draw his little hearts to reward this great scientist who cares about human development.

Accompanied by a ding, Nan'an stepped out of the elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor.

The Institute has launched strict security checks, and all chips need to be reported and screened, which makes Nan'an feel safe.So he walked to the front desk unsuspectingly——

This was the front desk when he and Jill came to the institute for the first time, the job number was 1350, and Nan'an felt very kind.

"I'm Ellie's assistant." Nan'an said, "Dr. Lin Ze asked me to take a package."

"OK, wait."

The front desk smiled at him.

So Nan An also bent his eyes, and he took a few steps back, as if he was waiting for the courier, or the scientist human.

"Your courier."

Nan An raised his eyes in response, and took the package from the front desk.

But in the next second, he glanced at the opponent's arm.His eyes widened in disbelief.

From the corner of the eye, it was a tiny wound, but it was covered with silver fluff, and it was trembling slightly.
