In the communication hall on the first floor of the noisy crew dormitory, after retracting the right hand that shook hands with Richard Williams, he glanced at the squinting man who was standing silently behind Richard, carrying a briefcase and looking like his secretary, and before he could say anything, he was suddenly grabbed by Aoba's right arm and accidentally and rudely dragged aside.

"That man is not a good thing, you better stay away from him and do everything possible to be on your guard." After pulling Ping An aside, she looked at the smiling Richard, and Aoba solemnly reminded Ping An that she had obviously had some entanglements with him that she didn't know about.

"I appreciate your concern and kind reminder of me, but I hope you can give some additional clarification about Richard as a person, otherwise I would be confused and suspicious based on your few words."

"So, okay...... Because of some private matters that happened between me and Richard that I can't tell you at this time, I have classified him as a sinister person. But if you paraphrase Anne's evaluation, then Richard Williams should be regarded as a domineering nobleman! Richard's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, each of whom served or is currently serving as the director of the USR Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. ”

"Four generations of the Williams family, including Richard, have been at the forefront of AI research and development, applying for countless patents, creating countless inventions, and at the same time having a very high status, very large rights and a lot of wealth on the Hope. Therefore, Richard is actually the young master of a rich family, and he is bound to sit in the first position of the institute in the future. ”

"Is it the young master of a rich family and the future domineering president? Okay, I see, thank you. With a smile on his face, he raised his right hand, patted Aoba's shoulder soothingly, and after nodding his head and saying "Don't worry, I'll be careful", he turned around and walked back to Richard and his secretary.

"I'm sure the Aoba Manipulator must have reminded you just now, saying that I'm a rather sinister person, and I hope you will be careful with it, right?"

After taking a seat at an empty round table with Ping An, he raised his eyes and glanced at Aoba from a distance, even though he had entered the completely transparent elevator, but still looked at him with an unkind face, and a smile with a precise arc appeared on his face, making Ping An only feel that he was smiling, smiling, and not smiling, and then quickly turned his attention to Ping An.

"It doesn't really matter what Aoba said to me just now, the important thing is that even if he didn't say anything just now, I have already decided what kind of attitude I want to use to face you, Mr. Williams. I know very well that the reason why you have come here today, Mr. Williams, is so that I can take Dior with you to the research institute to do all kinds of tests or analysis, right? ”

"Yes, that's right." Nodding affirmatively, Richard, who reached out to take the projector the size of half a ping-pong ball from his secretary, quickly put it on the table and clicked on the holographic projection. "Of course, I won't ask you and your partner to help us with the development and research of artificial intelligence for free, so we can provide you with everything shown in the projection list in front of you as a reward."

"I appreciate Mr. Williams's kindness, but I'm sorry that I'm not interested in all the conditions that have been offered." Except to live on her own hands, she just wanted to know why Captain Vidner ordered her to be eliminated in the first place, and never thought of handing over Dior from the beginning.

"You refuse?" Hearing Ping'an's answer, Richard, who showed a faint look of surprise on his face, was puzzled, "Why?" Didn't your AI partner, as your belonging, have you already provided it to Takami for free in the mecha maintenance workshop for a test? So now, why would you turn me down when I'm willing to pay me fairly? ”

"Because, Mr. Takami and you are not in the same position. As a combatant, Mr. Takami, who listened carefully to the various introductions and explanations I gave to Dior, in the face of Dior's human characteristics, regarded Dior as a rare and valuable ally, and paid great attention to his integrity and integrity. ”

Therefore, all the analyses and tests he conducted on Dior were like physical examinations, which were completely harmless to Dior. In addition, in the days since I boarded the ship, Mr. Takami has greatly respected Dior's human rights, and has not regarded him as an emotionless object that can be manipulated and directed at will. ”

"But what if you put it on you, Mr. Richard? On the night of moving into the crew quarters, Dior and I had already checked all kinds of unclassified information about the USR Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. Through this information, we were able to clearly confirm that our initial assumptions about the staff working on the Hope for AI development and research were correct. ”

"At this stage, none of the researchers at the USR Research Institute, who are AI developers and businessmen, regard AI as a living form equal to humans. In your eyes, AI is nothing more than research material and a commodity that can be sold at a clear price. Therefore, if Dio had gone there, you would not have recognized that he had a complete personality, nor that he was an independent consciousness. ”

"In order to unearth all the value in him for your research and development, your analysis and examination of him will be like a vivisection, cruel and horrific without any humanity. In your opinion, even if irreversible damage has been done to Dior in the course of research, you can compensate me for a copy of the program and code wrapped in a mechanical shell. ”

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Listening to Ping'an's narration in silence, Richard, who spoke out to raise objections, said this: "Artificial intelligence is originally a collection of programs and code, and as a digital artificial biomorphism, two artificial intelligences that have been exactly the same 100% replication, in my opinion, there is no difference at all. ”

"There is no difference? It's just standing and talking without backache! The corners of Ping'an's mouth curled into a sneer uncontrollably.
