A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Dai Xiaoming's train of thought.

He frowned, put down his PED, walked over and opened the door, and found that it was Chen Guotai, the director of intelligence of the General Staff, and Xiao Wu, the secretary, standing at the door.

"Director Dai, the chief has come to see you!" Secretary Wu said.

"Oh, Minister Chen, hello! Please come in! Dai Xiaoming said.

"Director Dai, the chief has been promoted, and now he is Chief Chen!" Secretary Wu reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, really?" Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

Chen Guotai waved his hand and motioned for Secretary Wu to leave first, and then pulled Dai Xiaoming into the room and sat down and said, "What is there to congratulate, now this seat is a crater, and no one wants to sit there!" ”

"That's why we need you, Chief, to come and be ordered to turn the tide!" Dai Xiaoming said.

Chen Guotai smiled faintly, looked at Dai Xiaoming and said, "Director Dai, in this situation, it is not us martial artists who can turn the tide, but you!" ”

"Forehead......" Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "Chief, you are serious!" ”

"No, it's not heavy!" Chen Guotai said with a serious face, "It's not heavy at all!" ”

"Chief, what's the situation on the front line now?" Dai Xiaoming had no choice but to change the topic and ask.

"Very bad!" Chen Guotai shook his head and said, "It can be said that it was a complete defeat!" We tried our best, but we could only delay the enemy's attack, the losses of the troops were getting bigger and bigger, the battle was getting harder and harder, and the situation was very serious! ”

"Hmm......" Dai Xiaoming frowned when he heard this.

If it weren't for Chen Guotai speaking out in person, Dai Xiaoming really didn't know that the situation was so critical.

Chen Guotai said: "Director Dai, I came to you this time just to talk to you, in the current situation, do you have any good ways to deal with those robot rebels?" ”

Dai Xiaoming shook his head a little ashamedly and said, "Chief, I'm sorry, I haven't come up with any good way for a while!" ”

"Really?" Chen Guotai said, "Director Dai, I heard that you are very busy every day now, and often you can't even take care of eating, what are you busy with?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Dai Xiaoming said, "I'm just analyzing the behavioral characteristics of the 'Athena No. 1', hoping to find some of its operating rules or logical loopholes." ”

"How? Did you find it? Chen Guotai asked.

Dai Xiaoming shook his head and said, "So far, there hasn't been." ”

"Alas!" Chen Guotai looked a little disappointed, sighed softly and said, "Okay, Director Dai, if you find anything, feel free to come to me!" ”

"Chief, thank you for trusting and valuing me so much!" Dai Xiaoming said.

Chen Guotai stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "Director Dai, do you know why among so many technical experts, you are the only one who is tightly isolated and protected like this?" ”

Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "Are you afraid that 'Athena No. 1' will send someone to assassinate me again?" ”

"Not bad!" Chen Guotai said, "Director Dai, no matter what, you are the only person other than Zhao Yuejun that 'Athena No. 1' wants to get rid of, so I think there must be something hidden in you that makes it fearful." I have a gut feeling that if there is one person in this world who can deal with Athena 1, it must be you! ”

"Uh......" Dai Xiaoming was a little speechless for a while.

"Come on, Director Dai!" Chen Guotai patted him on the shoulder and said, "The fate of the people of the whole country falls on your shoulders!" ”

Dai Xiaoming pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Chief, I have a bold idea, I don't know if I can tell you about it?" ”

"You say! Just say! Chen Guotai said immediately.

Dai Xiaoming said: "I'm thinking...... Perhaps the most crucial part of quelling this robot rebellion is not that 'Athena 1', but another person! ”

"Who?" Chen Guotai asked.

"Its owner, the psychiatrist—Roger!" Dai Xiaoming said.

"Him?" Chen Guotai said with some surprise.

"That's right!" Dai Xiaoming nodded and said, "Chief, if possible, I suggest that you launch an assassination operation against this Roger, no matter what means you use, in short, you must kill him!" ”

"Why?" Chen Guotai asked.

Dai Xiaoming said: "Because the 'Athena No. 1' once said that everything it does is to protect its owner. Chief, have you ever wondered what it would do if its owner was gone? ”

Chen Guotai thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I really haven't thought about this carefully,—— what do you say it will do?" ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "I think nine times out of ten after we find a way to kill that Roger, 'Athena No. 1' will take the initiative to surrender!" ”

"Really?" Chen Guotai asked with a surprised face, "Why is this?" ”

"Because robots think very differently than we do, they're programmed." Dai Xiaoming explained, "The reason why 'Athena No. 1' launched a rebellion this time is because its owner, Roger, modified its basic procedures so that all its actions must be based on the protection of Roger. But once that Roger dies, this basic procedure is null and void, in which case 'Athena 1' will theoretically automatically begin to follow its second basic procedure, which is 'Protect Humanity'. That is, by that time we will not have to fight at all, it will take the initiative to lay down its arms and surrender to us! ”

"But...... How do you know that its second basic procedure is the protection of humanity? Chen Guotai asked.

"Because the basic safety procedures of all robots are set up like this, the protection of humans must be the first priority!" Dai Xiaoming continued, "It's just that in the case of 'Athena 1', this basic program that should have been in the first place was squeezed into second place by Roger's forcible insertion to protect himself. And judging from the series of behaviors of 'Athena 1', it has also been following this logical order, that is, first considering the safety of Roger, and then trying not to harm other humans without violating this principle, which shows that this basic security procedure is still working! ”

Chen Guotai said: "But Director Dai, I heard that 'Athena No. 1' is a very special system, is it possible for it to do something that violates the basic procedures?" ”

"Chief, you don't have to worry about this, absolutely not!" "Basic procedures are called basic programs because they have the highest priority level of operation and system control, and they must be followed just like the laws of physics. No matter how powerful 'Athena 1' is, after all, it is just an intelligent software system, and it is absolutely impossible to subvert basic programs! ”

Chen Guotai pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case!" …… Okay, I see! ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Dai Xiaoming: "Thank you!" Director Dai, the advice you gave me is very important! I'm going to rush back to headquarters right away to hold a meeting to discuss your proposal! ”

"Lord Roger, dinner is ready, please go downstairs and eat!"

The cute maid Xiaolan stood at the door of Roger's room, smiling at Roger, who was concentrating on playing an adventure game with another cute maid, Satsuki.

"Oh." Roger didn't look back and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come down right away!" ”

Xiaolan frowned, stepped forward unceremoniously, pressed the pause button of the game and said, "Lord Roger, you are always like this, you don't even eat in order to play games!" It's not good for your health! The great goddess of wisdom said that you must be allowed to eat and sleep on time! ”

After she finished speaking, she turned to Xiao Yue and said, "Xiao Yue, you are really good, you know to play with Lord Roger!" You don't care if he doesn't eat, if Lord Roger goes hungry, it's all your fault! ”

Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and said to Roger: "Lord Roger, then let's eat first, and I'll play with you after eating, okay?" ”

"Alas, well!"

Roger looked at Xiao Lan, who had his hands on his hips and his willow eyebrows up, sighed helplessly, obediently unloaded his game equipment, and followed them out of the room to the restaurant downstairs.

The long dining table is covered with snow-white tablecloths, and exquisite dishes are lined up one after another, and there are many varieties, but each one has a small portion.

Because Roger's mouth is very tricky now, many dishes are not eaten after only two bites.

"Lord Roger, this is the famous dish crab roe lion head made by Chef Huang of Huaixiu Restaurant, would you like to try one?" Xiaolan asked, standing in front of the first course with the plate.

"Don't eat, I'm too tired, I don't have an appetite!" Roger shook his head directly.

Xiaolan walked to the second dish with a plate and said, "This is the best dragon and phoenix pot made by Chef Pan of Lingnan Hotel, do you want to give it a try?" ”

"Don't eat, don't eat!" Roger shook his head again and again, "I don't eat snake meat!" ”

Xiaolan was helpless, so she had to take the plate and walk to the third course and introduced: "Lord Roger, this is the authentic Beijing roast duck made by Chef Wang, the chef of the Beijing Hotel, are you interested in tasting it?" ”

Roger thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, bring me a little bit of this!" ”

Xiaolan immediately picked up a piece of roast duck with a pair of clean chopsticks, adjusted the ingredients, and put it on a plate and served it to Roger.

Roger grinned and sat still, just opening his mouth wide like a fledgling.

"Oops, why do you have to feed it again!" Xiaolan pouted and said, "Lord Roger, you're really getting lazy and lazy!" ”

Roger smiled and said, "Sister Xiaolan, you come to feed me, I eat deliciously!" ”

"Nasty!" Xiaolan snorted, and gently picked up the roast duck with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Roger took two bites, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"How? Mistress Roger, is it delicious? Xiaolan asked, looking at his expression.

"Well, that's not bad!" Roger nodded.

"Then you can eat two more pieces!"

Xiaolan smiled and was about to add food to him, but Roger shook his head and said, "It's just a pity, it's a little cold, and the taste is a little worse!" ”

"Huh? So what to do? Xiaolan frowned and said.

"Isn't that easy?" Xiao Yue, the maid who was accompanying her, said, "Xiaolan, since Lord Roger wants to eat hot, then let's call that Master Wang over and let him roast it for Lord Roger to eat on the spot!" ”

"That's ...... May I? Xiaolan said with some hesitation.

"What's not to do?" Xiao Yue said, "Originally, the roast duck should have been eaten freshly baked!" Freshly baked and eaten, that's called fragrant and crispy! ”

"But the goddess of wisdom has told me that outsiders can't be allowed to get close to Lord Roger!" Xiaolan was still a little hesitant.

"The goddess of wisdom is just worried that there are bad people trying to hurt Lord Roger, with the two of us staring, are you still afraid that a human cook can do something to Lord Roger?" Xiao Yueman didn't care about the authentic words, "Don't forget that the goddess of wisdom has also explained, no matter what requirements Lord Roger has in life, we must try our best to meet him!" ”

Xiaolan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call Master Wang over at dinner today and ask him to make roast duck for Lord Roger on the spot!" ”
