Chapter 2073 I Am Just a Machine

The brutal battle is finally over.

Zuo Jingyun submerged the fragmented "Cloud Piercer" into a natural underground cavity, and proceeded along a dry underground river, so that the noise could be minimized without activating the Xuanguang drill.

The good ground listeners of the Starlight Organization pressed their metal ear-like magic weapons against the rock walls in all directions, and did not hear the sound of the drill bit rubbing against the rock formation from above for a long time.

The immortal cultivator should not have chased him.

It's safe for now.

The cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief and raced against time to overhaul the Earth Walking Dragon and heal their injuries.

As the biggest hero in this battle, the boxing champion stayed far away from the crowd and hid in a dark corner of the underground cavity. He asked Han Te and Liu Li to help him with maintenance tools and spare parts to repair the damaged steel body. .

Everyone else knew the great reputation of "Boxing Champion" Lei Zonglie, and after seeing his equally brave and unparalleled performance in the two battles, and seeing his appearance of avoiding strangers, naturally they didn't dare to disturb him.

"Radiator No. 3."

The boxing champion observed his distorted body through the four crystal eyes suspended in front of him, and said to Liuli while thinking about the maintenance plan.

Liuli hurriedly found out what the boxing champion needed from the spare parts box, and took it with both hands.

Looking at the boxing champion's scarred and fragmented body covered with chainsaw swords and concussion swords, as well as bombardment with bolt guns and magneto cannons, he thought of the scene where the steel giant stood in front of himself and Han Te desperately, The phrase "Don't be afraid, I will protect you" still lingered in her ears, Liuli's heart felt hot, she couldn't help but touch the broken body of the boxing champion, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Boxing champion."

Seeing the girl stretch out her fleshy hand, the boxing champion's crystal eyes shrank quickly, but he didn't dodge, he just said coldly: "You don't need to thank me, you guys know this is just a deal, I just want to 'get stronger' 'The purpose is to filter out a seemingly optimal choice from the database.

"What's more, I'm not human. Although I can simulate all human emotions, it's just a pile of data. Even if you thank me sincerely, I won't be moved at all."

"Hey, is that so?"

Liuli blushed, and said with some embarrassment, "But that day at the top floor of the 'Big Iron City', when Mr. Boxing Champion invited us to dinner..."

"That's just a disguise, it's the simulated character of 'Boxing King Lei Zonglie'."

The boxing champion said lightly, "If necessary, I can simulate hundreds of different personalities, such as extremely calm, brutal, violent, sinister and cunning, or impulsive and irritable. Such simulations can help me better integrate into the battlefield environment , may be beneficial to the completion of the goal, but it will also consume part of the computing power, slow down the operation of my core database, and cause a certain degree of instability.

"So, since the two of you already know my true identity, and now I have to use all my computing power to think about the maintenance plan, there is no need to maintain the simulation of my personality—this way, my maintenance efficiency can be increased by 7% above."

In fact, the boxing champion mentioned it to Li Yao last time, but Liuli still couldn't understand it: "It's so hard to understand, that is to say, is the boxing champion's real character the way he looks cold now?"

"There's no 'real character,' there's not even a real 'Lord Boxer.'"

The boxing champion said coldly, "Personality, emotion, or will are things that only humans have. I am not a human being, nor do I have my own consciousness. It's just a machine moving in a certain direction, haven't you used psionic puppets before?"

"Of course I did."

Liuli thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "But the boxing champion is still different from those psychic puppets. Those things are all stupid. They will only respond when they give specific instructions or ask specific questions. Sparks would 'whirr' and fall silent."

"It's nothing different."

The boxing champion said blankly, "The reason why those low-level psychic puppets look stupid is because their database and strategy groups to choose from are too poor, and they don't have the ability to learn and upgrade on their own.

"My database and strategy group are thousands of times more abundant than theirs, and it seems that I can answer all your questions naturally.

"But in essence, there is no difference between me and those things. They are all puppets and machines. You ask me a question. After calculation and analysis, I select a piece of information that seems most suitable from the database and respond by voice. , to make our relationship more harmonious, so as to better accomplish the purpose of 'protecting you', that's all, multi-purpose wrench, thank you."

Liuli handed over the multi-functional wrench, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the boxing champion would say 'thank you'. Didn't you just say 'thank you' meaningless?"

"To me, 'thank you' means nothing, but to you humans, it's a way of showing kindness."

The boxing champion said, "I calculated that if I could be more friendly, the efficiency of the two of you sorting and screening spare components for me would also increase, and the probability of making mistakes would decrease-this is what I want to thank you for." reason."

Liuli was stunned for a long time, then blushed and said: "No matter what the boxing champion says, we should give you a good rest. Do you know that you... are really a good person!"

"logical error."

The boxing champion said, "You all know very well that I am not good, nor am I a 'human', I chose to protect you only to achieve the goal of becoming stronger and feel that this deal is profitable.

"If there is another way to make me stronger, but I have to kill many people, I will not hesitate to choose to kill, including killing you two-in fact, I have killed many, many people , otherwise how could he become the 'king of boxing' Lei Zonglie?"

"but--"

Liuli blushed, and a surge of courage came out of nowhere, and said, "At least you won't choose cruel and inhumane killings, right?"

The boxing champion was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"That's it."

Liuli said, "Hante and I grew up in the barren world, and we have also seen countless bandits in the bloody world. Many of them are perverts, lunatics, and demons! Killing unweaned babies and skinning human skins alive Watching bloody people dance, throwing people into a herd of radiation-mutated beasts to bite them to death, hanging people upside down and exposing them to the sun for several days before drying and starving to death... I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this kind of thing , How many times have you heard that the boxing champion would do such a thing?"

"Won't."

The boxing champion shook his head and said, "If I want to kill someone, I will definitely use the most efficient and fastest method. I can't understand the method of torturing a person for three days and three nights, and slowly torture him to death. Not only wasting my own time and energy, but also increasing the possibility of the other party escaping, it is really... meaningless."

"So!"

Liuli smiled, "In a place like Nietu, someone like Mr. Boxing Champion can already be considered a good person, just like my father and Yao Lao."

The boxing champion was silent for a long time, concentrating on adjusting his joints and power array, and finally said after five minutes: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Liuli and Han Te glanced at each other: "Should we be afraid of you?"

"I don't know, but there used to be some humans who were very afraid of us, afraid of our artificial intelligence."

The boxing king said, "You know, I once got an underground refuge or library of Wuying civilization, which left countless materials of Wuying civilization, including some of their entertainment and artistic works.

"It's strange that the Wuying civilization at that time was facing all kinds of threats. It can be said that there were constant internal and external troubles, but in many entertainment and art works, the future enemy was pointed at artificial intelligence.

"For some reason, some Wuying people seem to be very afraid of the emergence of self-learning and upgrading artificial intelligence, and even think that one day artificial intelligence will destroy their world.

"It's just that, in the end, it was human beings who destroyed Wuying's civilization.

"I don't know whether humans should be afraid of artificial intelligence, but if 'fear' can be defined as vigilance against unknown dangers, then maybe I am more afraid of you humans."

Liuli and Han Te widened their eyes: "You, are you afraid of us?"

"Yes, I'm afraid of you."

The boxing champion said seriously, "Some of you are scary."

Liuli tilted her head and thought for a long time, not knowing how to explain or comfort, she suddenly took out the metal pot she regarded as life from her arms, grabbed a small handful of golden seeds, and handed it over.

"This is the golden barley seed."

The little girl had a bright smile on her face and said innocently, "I've thought about it, the evil land is so big, I can't plant gold barley all over the world with my own strength, so I have decided that from now on, if If I can meet a really good person, I will give him a handful of golden barley seeds and let him help me.

"Master Boxing Champion, you are willing to do me this favor. When I go to far, far places in the future, when you encounter suitable soil, help me sow a handful of golden barley seeds!"

The boxing champion's crystal eyes froze for a long time, and stretched out his metal arm a little dryly, took the golden barley seeds, looked at them for a long time, and put them into the storage space deep in his chest.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

It said in a low voice, the voice was no longer cold, but it was full of ambition and anger that looked down on the world.

"Why?"

Liuli blinked her eyes quickly, and said in surprise, "Master Boxing King has become like he invited us to dinner that day again. Didn't you say that imitating such a character would consume a lot of computing power?"

"...if it makes you guys feel a little better, it's not a lot."

The boxing champion said sullenly, "After all, I have played the role of 'boxing champion' Lei Zonglie for more than ten years, and I am used to it."

"Very good."

The little girl cheered, "If you can keep getting used to it, maybe one day, the boxing champion will become a real human being!"

"Human beings are too complicated, I'm afraid I will never be able to upgrade to yours, right?"

The boxing champion paused, emphasized his tone, and repeated again, "I... am just a puppet, a machine."
