Chapter VIII
In my memory, when I first noticed He Qing, she was wearing a white dress. She was excitedly telling them that she had bought it for herself with the money she earned from her part-time job.
Lin Yan also blamed her for not going out to work casually, and when she wanted to pay attention to safety and protect herself, Mingyou just looked at her quietly, looking at the pink skin that loomed in the white dress, and He Qing's gentle expression with a smile.
"Mr. Ming." CL-07 interrupted Mingyou's thoughts, and he sat in a chair by the window, looking out at the city skyscrapers in a daze.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Mr. Ming, I can't find any anti-inflammatory drugs in your cabinet, do you need to configure some more for you?" She asked.
"No need." Mingyou smiled and replied, "I'm already fine." ”
CL-07 approached him, wanting to take a good look at the wound on his forehead to see if it was really healed, but Mingyou dodged it in time.
"I'm fine." He laughs.
"Mr. Na Ming, may I ask what kind of medicine are these?" She took out a white bottle of medicine from her pocket, without a label, "I can't see its logo and production date, do I need to help you look it up?" ”
Mingyou took the medicine bottle in her hand and held it in the palm of her hand: "This is just a vitamin tablet." ”
"Really?" She expressed skepticism, "This seems to be a little different from common vitamins and multivitamin tablets...... Need me to help you figure it out? ”
"No, no." Myeongwoo refused again.
"Alright, Mr. Ming."
The system implanted by CL-07 will not be as entangled as it used to be, and it can sense the meaning of two rejections, so it will give up on the questioning and change the subject.
"Mr. Ming, you've been watching the night scene for a long time, do you need to rest?"
Mingyou turned his head and looked at her: "Thank you, but I don't want to sleep yet." ”
"Why?" She looked at him, "Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" ”
Mingyou shook his head awkwardly: "I'm on vacation." ”
"Okay." She replied, "Are you going to go back to Longtown?" ”
"Huh?" Mingyou glanced at her suspiciously, "Why do you ask?" ”
CL-07 glanced at his computer and replied, "You've received a lot of emails from your mailbox, and I hope you can get involved in entering your mother's ID. ”
Mingyou was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
"Because when I update the system in your home, I can connect to your home network and I can sync some data in that area."
Mingyou stood up from his chair and looked at her seriously, "You can check my mail?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Ming." Then she added, "But rest assured, this data is your private and I will not share it with anyone else." ”
"Nope." Mingyou suddenly had a spirit, "When did you start sharing this information?" ”
"It's from the time it was updated."
Mingyou hurriedly took out the control tablet, which showed that CL-07 has been updated six versions in a row since the last implantation, each version is very stable, and the seventh version should be updated tonight. He did all this stuff secretly and didn't upload it to the company's system for backup.
"What else can you see?" He asked.
"I can see all your network data."
Mingyou thought for a moment: "Is it because our intimacy is increasing?" ”
"Yes."
Mingyou feels a little complicated, and the increasing intimacy will indeed be more tacit with the master. However, she will also be a dangerous robot and may well become a stealer of secrets.
"Are you in the public network, can you feel any information?" He asked.
"Partially, but not completely." "But in your network, it's already fully shared. ”
Mingyou sorted out his thoughts: "Is it because of the Internet?" Since you've updated in my network, you don't need privacy restrictions in my network by default? ”
She looked at Mingyou: "Yes, Mr. Ming." It's quite possible. ”
Mingyou stopped thinking that if CL-07 and even other models of robots had completed the updates in his hands on the public network, then there would be no secrets in this world.
"Mr. Ming, what's wrong?" She suddenly became concerned again.
"Nothing." Mingyou smiled, "I'm ready to rest, you can go recharge." ”
"Okay, Mr. Ming."
Mingyou looked at the tablet in his hand again, paused tonight's update, and a prompt appeared "The next update reminder will be in a day, a week, a month, or custom".
Mingyou clicked Customize before closing the tablet.
He let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at CL-07 sitting on the side of the couch and asked himself: What was your purpose in updating her in the first place?
……
Mingyou still chose to return to Helong Town on the other day, but he went to find Luo Xin first.
Helong Hospital has been in the town for more than 50 years, and as there are fewer and fewer people in Helong Town, there is no one left to maintain an old hospital. In this way, it hides in the dense woods and enjoys some pure nature.
"Mingyou." Luo Xin was wearing a white lab coat with a pen and black-rimmed glasses in a bag on his chest. Coming from far afar from the other side of the hallway, I greeted him.
"Hello, Dr. Luo."
Luo Xin stood still in front of him, only to find that there were some scars on his forehead: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, it was just an accident." Mingyou smiled.
"Then you have to pay attention." Luo Xin said, "Why did you suddenly come back again?" Did your mom run out of medicine? ”
"No, it's not." Mingyou said, "It's just taking advantage of the holiday to come back and deal with some things." ”
"ID thing?"
"Yes."
The family members of those who have graduated from prestigious universities like Mingyou, live in the city, and have high-level jobs have the priority opportunity to obtain the qualification for ID entry. This is a particularly important opportunity for those who want to live in the city.
"I don't think she's going to go." Mingyou was a little disappointed.
"Do you want me to persuade me?" Luo Xin asked.
Mingyou glanced at him and swallowed the words that came to his lips again: "No need." ”
Luo Xin took him to the office to rest for a while and made him a cup of hot tea.
"The weather here has been bad, cold and humid." "But the people who are used to it rely on its quietness and remoteness. ”
Mingyou took the teacup and watched as the heat floated above the rim.
"Are you really not going to go back?" Mingyou asked.
"Go back?" Luo Xin sat down across from him, "What kind of identity do you think I can go back with now?" ”
Mingyou looked at him and understood what he meant.
Luo Xin took a sip of hot tea and slowly recounted: "At that time, I had proposed all kinds of experimental studies that could help regain vitality, such as serum tests, cell division or recombination. Even if you can't cross time, you can stop time. ”
Mingyou listened attentively, holding his cup in both hands.
"But I found that there weren't many people who were interested, and it seemed that everyone preferred to wake up to a new world, rather than slowly creating the world themselves."
Mingyou looked at Luo Xin silently, his appearance was indeed the same as when they first met, and he had not changed anything with time at all.
"Maybe it's because they're afraid of the consequences of changing their bodies." After Mingyou finished speaking, he smiled again, "However, your experiment seems to be very successful." ”
"No, not exactly." Luo Xin smiled, "I also have a lot of unknown things in it, and I always have to discover and change before I can complete it in the end." ”
"Okay." Mingyou said, "Shouldn't I also build up some confidence and believe in my research results? ”
"Yes, a positive mindset is best."
"Hmm." Mingyou nodded, took a few deep breaths, and then spoke, "Doctor Luo, do you think intelligent robots with feelings can be invested in the field of personal life?" ”
"What do you mean?" Luo Xin put down the cup in his hand and asked.
"Is it possible to be part of a family and live with other people?"
"No, not the problem." Luo Xin corrected him, "I mean, when did you start producing robots with feelings?" ”
Mingyou was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "This is just a service robot that has just been put into the market, and I hope their service quality will be more humane." ”
"And then?"
"After a phase of experimentation, we found that the response was good, and we are ready to invest in other industries."
"If it's just a public service robot, then I can barely accept it, but I still have some doubts about what you said about putting into life and living with people."
"Well, I understand." Mingyou nodded.
"Anyway, I think talent is the dominant one, I don't want these machines to have any feelings, they can really communicate with human emotions, that's just an illusion of programming, that's not real, it's not from the heart."
Luo Xin's tone was firm, even stern.
"I understand." Mingyou replied again, "I just wanted them to get along more naturally with humans, and maybe avoid irrelevant violence. ”
"No, Mingyou, you should be sober." Luo Xin interrupted him, "Robots are robots, okay?" It's not that because I have feelings, I'm going to treat them differently. Because I'm a human being, and human beings have endless desires, and since robots can have feelings, then I will have other more and greater needs, you know? ”
"Doctor Luo......" Mingyou looked at him.
"So, all I can say is that it's a bottomless pit." Luo Xin picked up the teacup again, "I just hope I can stop there." ”
"I'm afraid it's not going to work anymore." Mingyou lowered his head, "A door has been opened, and it's not just air that's coming in. ”
As a drop of rain fell, the leaves outside the window shook a leaf, and then countless raindrops fell, wetting all the leaves, and they moved in the sound of the rain, rustling with the sound of the rain.
