Chapter 5
Mingyou returned home when it was dark, and the city lights were shining brightly under the black curtain of the sky.
He lives on the 32nd floor of an apartment, which is not very large but has large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to see the bustle of the city, but also block the hustle and bustle.
"Wait a minute." When he entered, he spoke, then walked quickly to the window, pressed the button of the blinds, and they moved slowly, slowly obscuring the world outside the window, leaving only the dark room.
Mingyou lit the lights in the room, this small but delicate room, but it was very warmly furnished.
"Come in." He called out to the man who was still in the doorway, and then she slowly stepped into the light after receiving the instructions.
Myeongwoo looked at her with a smile, even though she wasn't a real person.
"Mr. Ming, is this your home?" She asked, looking around.
"Yes." Mingyou replied, "It's smaller, but it's convenient for me to be alone." ”
"Hmm." She smiled and nodded, "It's as warm as you feel." ”
"Thank you."
Mingyou smiled and asked her to sit on the sofa, and then took advantage of the bright light to look at her in front of her carefully and carefully. Here, a place where he can completely relax, he can finally get along with her well, and no one will remind him that it is just a robot.
"Do you remember the first time we met?" He asked.
"For the first time?" She looked at him, but after the system was updated, her previous memories were overwritten, "Mr. Ming, I don't remember, if you tell me, I will try to recall it." ”
Mingyou looked at her with gentle eyes: "We have actually known each other for a long time, and we have been together like friends for a long, long time. ”
She stared at him blankly, unable to think of anything that should have been stored in her brain's information card.
"Can we still be friends now?" Mingyou asked.
"Of course." She replied with a smile.
Mingyou couldn't help but shake her hand, at this moment her hand had returned to its normal temperature and was no longer cold. The silky and delicate touch made his heart beat faster suddenly.
"Mr. Ming, are you feeling unwell?" She asked with concern.
"Nope." Myeongwoo suddenly became shy like a child, retracted his hand with an apologetic smile, and raised his eyes to look at her.
And she always kept a just right smile in front of him.
"You're going back to the hospital tomorrow." He said silently, but his eyes were reluctant to leave her.
"Yes, I'm a nurse." She replied.
"Can I come to you often?"
"Yes." She smiled, "Mr. Ming, didn't you say that I was your friend?" ”
"Well, yes." Mingyou smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.
She was with him this night, the company he had wanted for so long. Finally, after she gained emotion, she could communicate so naturally and care about their feelings.
It wasn't until he couldn't hold on to his sleepiness anymore that he slowly fell asleep.
……
When she woke up the next day, LC-07 was already charged and sat quietly on the couch, and when she saw that Mingyou was showing signs of waking up, she turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Ming."
"Morning ......" Mingyou rubbed his eyes and saw her appearance clearly, in the early morning sun.
"Have you eaten?" He asked.
LC-07 tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously, "Mr. Ming, I don't understand. Are you going to ask me about charging? My battery level is currently at full power. ”
Mingyou was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile and shake his head, he was really confused.
"Mr. Ming, do you need me to prepare breakfast for you?" She asked.
"No, no." Mingyou got up, "I'll just come by myself." ”
When he was ready, LC-07 was still sitting on the couch, watching him eat at the table. Mingyou stopped the food in his hand and beckoned her.
"Would you like to come and sit with me?"
"Okay, Mr. Ming." She replied, then stood up, walked to the table, and sat down quietly.
He looked at her while eating breakfast, and the just right amount of closeness made him particularly satisfied.
"I'll take you back to the company later, you're going back to the hospital today, I'll come to see you often, but, will you keep this a secret?"
"Do you want me to keep this a secret?" She asked.
"Hmm." Mingyou nodded, "This is a little secret of ours, and I don't want others to know about it." ”
"Okay, Mr. Ming." She smiled, "I see. ”
……
The medical robots that have returned to work in the hospital are all working 24 hours a day, and they have no rest except for the time of charging.
A purchase of funds can buy a robot that does not need to eat or rest or even need a salary, in addition to normal updates, the service life of intelligent robots is very long, for hospitals, is a good investment.
After this batch of updated emotional communication robots were put on the market, basically the work of nurses could be replaced, which also caused two extremes at the same time. Hospitals are constantly trying to save costs, and one group of people loses their jobs as a result.
"Mr. Ming, what do you think about the issue of occupation being replaced?"
"What do you think will mean by replacing simple mechanized work with robots in the past, and this time your company has updated the emotions of robots to make them more humane?"
“……”
A week after it was put on the market, the emotive robot was really well received in the hospital. They are not only kind and intimate in communication with patients, but also particularly accurate and decisive in actual operation, saving time and achieving good interaction.
So the hospital decided to purchase another batch of medical robots. All of a sudden, there was a storm. The re-purchase of robots also indicates that a group of people will face losing their jobs.
"In our company's production plan, we will continue to produce various types of intelligent robots that conform to the market, and they will have a little emotional mode while completing their work, and can do simple thought feedback like humans, so that communication is smoother and they can better understand the needs of customers."
Mingyou elaborated on the next work arrangement lightly, but did not respond positively to the "contradictory" problem that everyone was most looking forward to.
"Mr. Ming, can you answer positively? More robots are put into the market, from the initial operation type to today's intelligent type, which has increasingly limited the scope of people's work......"
"I'm sorry, that's the end of today's press conference." The secretary terminated the press conference in time, and the people at the scene were even more excited.
"Mr. Ming, please explain, how many more such robots will your company produce, and how can we distinguish between humans and machines after they are put on the market in the future?"
"Mr. Ming, such a development is bound to aggravate the polarization of society, have you considered it?"
"Mr. Ming......"
"I'm sorry, that's the end of today's press conference." The secretary repeated what he had just said, and took Mr. Ming to leave from behind.
The reporters tried to swarm up, but they were firmly blocked out of the human wall, and these tall people, no, robots, no matter how much they pushed, motionlessly blocked the exit, until Mingyou and the company personnel got into the car, they received the order and left the venue.
"Mr. Ming, do you need to take a look at the video of today's press conference?" The secretary asked.
"Okay, let's take a rough look."
So the secretary pressed the smart button behind his ear and put the news directly on Mingyou's mobile phone.
Mingyou looked at the comments of netizens below, and he thought about the same, everyone only cares about what impact the mass production of robots will have on society and human beings. It's just that, as a head of a tech company, he can't express his opinion.
Until he turned to the fierce words, he could only close, out of sight.
"Have the robots in the hospital ever received any threats?" He looked out the window and asked.
"Not yet." The secretary replied, "Because of the peculiarity of the hospital, there is no aggression for the time being. ”
"That's good."
The secretary smiled slightly: "Mr. Ming, the robot protection agreement has been issued, and as a social service robot, it is the primary protection object, so please rest assured." ”
Mingyou turned his head and looked at the smile on her face, and he was a lot more sure.
……
After work, he came to the hospital.
Everything is in order here, and as the secretary said, many people still have to be wary of the robots that receive protection, after all, the compensation fee is also very objective.
"Mr. Ming, are you going to take LC-07 again?" The nurse at the nurse's desk asked.
"Hmm." Mingyou nodded, "I'm tracking the test." ”
"Okay, I'll call her over for you."
"Thank you."
The nurses at the nurse's desk are humans, in fact, you don't have to be afraid of what will change, after all, no matter how many robots are arranged and controlled by people?
Mingyou was thinking about it, when suddenly another nurse walked behind him.
"Mr. Ming, is it?"
"Right...... Yes......" Before he could finish his answer, the nurse raised a hand from behind him and slammed something resembling a glass into his head.
A wave of dizziness and tingling made him almost fall to the ground, but fortunately he held on to the table of the nurse's table.
"Mr. Ming!"
"You go to die!"
Mingyou's eyes were blurry for a while, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, only to see that when she was emotional and wanted to do it again, she was already controlled by two guards.
He clutched his head in his hands, as if there was still some broken glass left in his skin, gradually obscuring his vision as the blood flowed.
"Mr. Ming, are you alright?" The nurse helped him and asked, "Shall I treat your wound?" ”
At this time, in the crowd of onlookers, a familiar figure walked in, she gently touched his hand, removed his hand from the wound, and then carefully observed.
When Mingyou finally regained his gaze, he saw her clearly.
"Mr. Ming, sit down first." She said, "Your wound has residual glass that I need to help you clean out, and you can rest assured that I will spray an anesthetic first to ensure that when I remove it, it will not increase your pain." Her voice was gentle and delicate, and he had long forgotten the pain.
"I'm going to get started, so get ready."
So she skillfully operated, Mingyou didn't feel it at all, just looked at her quietly, looking at her serious expression and careful operation.
The nurse who attacked was taken to the security room, and the guards asked if they had called the police.
Mingyou lightly touched the wound that had just been bandaged and said, "Has she been dismissed?" ”
"Yes."
"Forget it, what she needs now is a severance pay, not shackles." Mingyou slowly stood up from the ground, and CL-07 helped him up.
"Mr. Ming, this is a little difficult for us." The guard looked embarrassed, "If there is an attack, we all need to record it." ”
"Then remember that she was careless." Mingyou replied, then glanced at LC-07 and replied to the guard, "I still have some things to go back to, so be it." ”
"Do we need to send you back?"
"No, I have her."
Mingyou asked LC-07 to send him back, I don't know if it was because of a head injury, he was a little drowsy, and he wanted to fall asleep immediately, but he had to hold on, he still had unfinished business......
