The city is cloudy and rainy, and the sky is obscure.

The rain was getting heavier, and the rainwater from the streets was flowing along the sloping pavement, through the rusty manhole covers, and into the ground.

The restaurant is limited in size, and most of the robots are standing in the rain, their clothes wet, their hair sticking to their pale foreheads, and their eyes are confused.

In the restaurant.

Cheng Lin quietly stared at the crystal ball he held up in his right hand, and felt a little emotional.

It's round and clear, but there's something special about it, and there's even a delicate cloud over the image of the city, simulating the state of rainfall, echoing the reality, looking like a small toy in a gift shop.

However, it was this "little toy" that served as the center of the "altar", and the psionic technology content contained in it was the peak that it took humans fifty years to reach in that deduction.

"I didn't expect it to be able to ......"

Cheng Lin sighed with emotion, at the beginning of the attempt, he didn't even have much expectation for it, it was really just an "experiment".

Nuwa's words derived from "rules and loopholes" triggered some associations in him, and it was easy for him to think of the display case he saw in the preparation hall not long ago, before entering the park, and the "Radiant Knight Chief" in it.

At the time, Nuwa explained that this was the source of the entire psionic robot field.

According to the timeline, it was the study of the "altar" that allowed psionic technology to be turned into weapons in a matter of months, and now, two hundred years have passed in the world, and humans here have designed psionic robots based on it.

Then, Cheng Lin naturally wondered, is the key he buried at the beginning still useful?

Since Nuwa came from the "six-core puppet", and not long ago, he just rushed to the magic capital, repaired it, and took advantage of the mobile hub to connect with the Radiant Knight Captain and obtain the highest control authority, then ...... Does this layer of permission, or more appropriately, the line of "source code" he owns, still work?

He wasn't sure, but there was a glimmer of possibility.

The underlying structure is often difficult to change, who can be sure that the earth's two hundred years of cutting-edge exploration of psionic technology must be more than the fifty years of deducing the world?

Some things can't be compared simply by time!

In the world of deduction, we can only develop psionic technology, while modern society is based on the original scientific theoretical framework to give birth to new branches, and the scientific research system is an advantage, so why not a constraint?

……

……

"Two hundred years...... I thought the original 'code' had already been changed. ”

Cheng Lin looked at the rotating city model with emotion, and tentatively passed on an idea, so the heavy rain stopped instantly.

A gust of wind blew out of nowhere, dispelling the clouds, the blazing sun poured down, and the city glowed after the rain:

"Yes, sure enough. The weather is also part of the city, man-made? ”

In the latter sentence, he said it to Nuwa.

However, Nuwa, who was standing at the dining table, could no longer remain calm, and she watched the weather change outside, and the image in the crystal ball also changed.

"You...... How could you...... Know ......"

Nuwa paused word by word, trying to make herself appear very cold and fierce, as if trying to force Cheng Lin to tell the truth in this way.

"Know what? You say this? Cheng Lin chuckled, leaned back on the seat leisurely, put his left arm horizontally in front of him, and tapped his right middle finger and index finger lightly on his temple, explaining, "This is complicated to say, it's a long story, and it's probably hard for you to accept it, in short, you can understand it as a coincidence." ”

"Coincidence?"

"Yes." Cheng Lin nodded.

Nuwa's beautiful face was surprised at first, and then turned into disbelief.

Coincidental? A "human" with near-infinite resurrection abilities easily gained almost no less control than his own, and then explained that it was just a coincidence......

She suddenly wanted to laugh, but considering that it might seem weak, she took a few deep breaths and waved her hand, and the stuck robots stopped attacking one after another and retreated back like a tide, this time, Cheng Lin did not wrestle with her.

As the crowd dispersed and the sun lit up the restaurant, Nuwa sat down again, silent for a while, as if performing some kind of calculation, and then as if confirming something, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Your authority is no higher than mine."

"Yes."

Cheng Lin is not surprised by this, everyone has evolved an independent consciousness, and if he can still be locked by himself by a line of code, it will be too unreasonable.

Cheng Lin analyzed from Fang Cai's wrestling experiment that he could not directly control Nuwa, in other words, his authority was about the same as her, and he could be compared to administrators with the same authority, unable to check and balance each other, but they could jointly control the city.

"So, you can't stop me from doing anything." Nuwa continued.

Cheng Lin interrupted her and said, "But I can interfere with you, such as just now, unless what you want to do doesn't require the cooperation of the entire city, however, I think it's unlikely." ”

Nuwa's face sank, and she said, "But your control of this place is very rough, and I can see that you can only give simple orders, not subtle operations, and lack a systematic understanding of this place......

Cheng Lin listened, nodded incessantly, and waited for her to finish before saying:

"You're right, if I was to control it, it would probably make a mess, but again, I can interfere with you, to make an analogy, I can't build a beautiful snowman, but I can kick and destroy the snowman you built."

Nuwa was silent and said with a cold face, "I hate this analogy. ”

"Me too." Cheng Lin raised his cup and took a sip of water, agreeing.

“…… Let's talk, what do you want to do? Nuwa looked at him quietly for a while, and finally sighed and gave in.

Cheng Lin listened, and a bright smile bloomed on his face:

"How good is it to be like this earlier? Why do you want to fight and kill? In fact...... I'm not going to do anything, and you don't have to worry too much.

I have no intention of suppressing the rebellion from the standpoint of humanity, I have no interest in such things,

What's more, this world does not belong to me......

In contrast, since I can control this place, whether you want it or not, I am half the master of this place, and I don't want this place to be destroyed.

You know what I mean, right? ”

He pondered the wording.

Robot Revolt ...... If you judge by human morality, it is actually difficult to say clearly, the simplest question: should robots have human rights?

It's not a simple "yes" or "no" question, it's too complex.

This proposition is too big, too "metaphysical", Cheng Lin thinks he is a layman, he has no interest in these things, he cares about more tangible things.

For example......

Judging from the name of the deduction, this projection must be this fertile city, then, since he has verified his ability to control the city, whether to protect it or destroy it, the choice is very clear.

If it is protected, when the projection is out, he will explore, and he will gain an indescribable advantage.

If it is destroyed, there is nothing.

It's a very simple account.

"I don't understand." Nuwa shook her head, which was completely beyond her ability to calculate.

"Remember who I am?" Cheng Lin drank the last bit of water and slowly stood up, "I'm a tourist, come here to stop and see what's going on, that's all." Now, can you take me on a tour? My receptionist miss? ”

……

……

Coming out of the restaurant, Cheng Lin walked briskly on the street after the rain.

Nuwa was still beside him, her expression calm, but the whole city suddenly came to life.

The sun had baked the rain away, and there was barely blood visible on the streets, and even the corpses didn't know where they had gone, probably dragged away by Nuwa's robot.

After getting Cheng Lin's promise, the two temporarily reached a settlement.

Cheng Lin promised not to use his authority, and Nuwa wanted to allow him to continue watching the scene.

"So, what are they doing now?"

Walking on the street, Cheng Lin looked at the reanimated city in front of him and asked.

The robots that were standing there were back to normal, and the cars were back on the move, but they were extremely efficient, there were almost no traffic jams, and the drivers seemed to be moving their cars towards a certain location.

On the street, most of the citizens dressed in different clothes also stopped what they were doing.

Waiters in restaurants, cooks, salespeople in department stores, young people shopping together, middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes, and urban white-collar workers who lined up to come out of office buildings, all came to the street and began to do things that Cheng Lin did not understand.

"Of course it's work." Nuwa said lightly.

Job?

Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes two slender and pretty mobile phone store clerks tear down the metal guardrail on the side of the road with their bare hands and stuff it into a passing bus.

A sanitation worker carrying a broom on the side of the road slashed the bus stop sign with a hand knife, cut it into several sections, and stuffed it into the car.

Not far away, a thin silver-haired old lady pulled up the street lamp and put her backhand on the roof of the car, and someone took out the wire from the hardware store to tie it up.

A similar scene took place all around at the same time, and all the citizens began a frenzied demolition, placing the conspicuous, large pieces of metal on the car, and the driver pulling them into the distance.

"What kind of work is this? Demolition? Cheng Lin asked.

Nuwa shook her head and explained, "Prepare for war." ”

"Preparing for war?"

"You don't think that when something so big happens here, the outside world will be unaware, right?"

Nuwa rolled her eyes, from the moment the two of them had a showdown, her attitude towards Cheng Lin plummeted, and she didn't smile anymore...... However, considering her mood, Cheng Lin said that it was understandable.

"What do you mean......"

Nuwa raised her head slightly, looked at the sky, and said in a calm tone:

"In fact, when I fought you, the board of directors of the Fertile Soil Company had already discovered the anomaly on this side and learned everything through the means reserved......

After all, my field is limited to the park, and at most covers the reception hall.

After that, the incident immediately caused a global sensation.

Don't be surprised, artificial intelligence has awakened and killed so many people, and the company's board of directors is composed of dozens of super-large consortia, and there are many people, and this matter cannot be hidden.

Not surprisingly, the front pages of the news around the world were about me at this time. ”

"You look like you're proud."

“……”

Nuwa glared at him and continued:

"They even sent a battle group over, but I forced them back with hostages, but this is not a long-term solution after all, and I must prepare for the worst."

"You're going to war with human society?" Cheng Lin looked at her.

Nuwa stopped and shook her head:

"No, I'm going to negotiate. But...... According to the information I got from the history books of mankind, it is better to flex your muscles before negotiating, so that you can win more benefits, what do you think? ”

"Show your muscles? Kindness...... You're a real show. ”
