Chapter Eighty-Six: It Has No Soul

The Lori robot put the tarantula-type combat robot she had brought over on the ground in front of Zhao Fan.

The Royal Sister Robot looked at Zhao Fan curiously on the captain's workbench, and then at the tarantula robot, and seemed to want to come over to join in the fun, but in the end she retracted behind the workbench and continued her work.

Compared with such a conscious sister robot, the performance of the Lori robot is very speechless - in addition to the sunshine in Lori's hidden attributes, there is also disobedience.

Although the Lori robot will definitely resolutely obey orders when it is serious, this does not prevent her from making her own decisions on some inconsequential little things, and even occasionally cheating with Zhao Fan, which is the biggest iconic behavior that can highly simulate self-awareness of learning AI and other so-called artificial intelligence.

Ordinary robots will faithfully carry out every command of their master, but Lori robots, which are highly simulated in self-awareness, will have their own judgment, unless Zhao Fan compulsorily requires it.

So now, driven by a strong curiosity, Lori Robot has consciously lowered the priority of the process of "the master let him go back to continue the inventory work after retrieving the tarantula robot", ranking below the process of "observing the master's thoughts on how to increase his own artificial intelligence companions".

She stealthily moved to the edge of a workbench, trying not to attract her master's attention to her presence, which she calculated would increase the likelihood of success in her small movements.

But she still failed.

Zhao Fan looked at her helplessly and sighed: "I said, why are you still here?" Are your stock-taking done? ”

"Master......" The Lori robot looked at Zhao Fan with a pitiful look, but Zhao Fan quickly turned his head and refused to accept the cute attack launched by the other party.

"Go to work!" He said.

So the Lori robot had no choice but to leave the bridge reluctantly and reluctantly leave the bridge and continue its inventory.

After sending away the Lori robot, Zhao Fan focused his attention on the black-painted tarantula robot in front of him.

Zhao Fan is no stranger to the tarantula robot, in addition to some information about the tarantula robot obtained from the Internet before, he has also fought against this combat robot several times in the sewers of the new Aachen Star Frankfurt City.

With eight long mechanical legs, it looks like a giant spider and can move flexibly in difficult terrain, perfectly adapted to combat in a variety of environments, and the standard weapon configuration is a built-in small-caliber submachine gun and grenade launcher that can deal effective damage to enemy combatants and lightly armored units.

However, the defects of this combat robot are also obvious, due to the inherent limitations of software and hardware, the tarantula robot will not respond in time and the action mode will be too rigid when dealing with the battle in complex situations, so that the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

The solution given by the manufacturer is to manually command, and after upgrading the software, through special communication equipment, some simple combat instructions are manually issued, so as to improve the ability of the tarantula robot to respond to complex situations.

Now Zhao Fan wants to try another solution of his own, and he is ready to try his simplified version of the learning AI on this combat robot to improve the ability of the tarantula robot itself to achieve the purpose of improving combat power.

Opening the toolbox, taking out the tools, and quickly opening the detachable armor of the tarantula robot in the shutdown state, Zhao Fan studied the internal hardware configuration of the robot.

So-so, right?

Zhao Fan quickly came to a conclusion, so he began to connect his personal intelligent terminal to the memory of the combat robot, first deleted the original useless programs inside, and then began to install his own simplified version of the learning AI into it.

In the end, of course, he also had to optimize all the drivers on the tarantula robot.

After getting this, Zhao Fan put the detachable armor back on the tarantula robot, and after confirming that everything was fine, he activated the tarantula robot that should have been reborn in terms of software.

After working for so long, the activation process took a little longer, so when the tarantula robot was finally successfully activated, Zhao Fan found that the royal sister robot that had completed the work at hand had stood behind him at some point.

"Master, is this a man or a woman?"

The focus of the Royal Sister Robot made Zhao Fan a little speechless.

"There is no gender!" He snorted angrily and said, "It's not a humanoid robot, what's the point of being a man or a woman?" I'm annoyed enough to have you two, and I'm going to go crazy if a few more weird-looking guys like that harass me like that! ”

The royal sister robot thought about it seriously, and actually nodded: "Sure enough, it's best not to appear this type of competitor, it's too heavy!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fan felt that his whole person was not good.

What kind of calculations do you have to go through and what kind of data does it call to get such a strange answer?

So he wisely decided not to bother with the Sister Robot.

After activation, the tarantula robot stretched out its eight mechanical legs, stood up on its own, and then began to use the wide-angle camera mounted on its head to observe its environment a little dazedly.

After seeing Zhao Fan, after comparing it with the Chinese part of the database, it confirmed Zhao Fan's identity, so it was short in front of Zhao Fan.

"Is this a salute?"

Zhao Fan is a little unsure, the tarantula robot does not have the hardware of the language module, if it wants to express something, there is no other way except body language, but it has an external sound acquisition device, but it can hear what others say.

So Zhao Fan said to the tarantula robot: "You should be able to understand my words, if you understand, lift the first mechanical leg on your right side!" ”

The tarantula robot quickly lifted the first mechanical leg on the right side.

Zhao Fan touched his chin: "It seems that the effect is not bad?" ”

The royal sister robot was a little confused, although she didn't know what Zhao Fan had done, but she could feel that this tarantula robot seemed to be fundamentally different from herself.

So she asked Zhao Fan suspiciously: "Master, is it not the same as me and my sister?" ”

Zhao Fan nodded: "Yes, although it is written in the same programming language, and most of the programs are the same, it lacks the soul of learning AI - there is no simulation of self-awareness!" So it can't be as humane as Luo Li and you, strictly speaking, it's no different from those ordinary intelligent robots, but because of this, compared with you, its dependence on hardware performance is greatly reduced, even if it's not a very good body, it can run perfectly, and it can still learn, and it should also have a considerable degree of subjective initiative! Although it is not as good as Luo Li and you, it can definitely throw off those so-called highly intelligent robots that are actually more than a dozen streets away from the pre-set robots! ”

Saying that, Zhao Fan smiled: "We can give it a try!" ”

He said to the tarantula robot: "Run around the bridge and show me, don't bump into anything, use as fast as you can!" ”

The tarantula robot lifted the first mechanical leg on its right side in understanding, and began to move rapidly.

While looking at the tarantula robot's agile movements, the Sister Robot asked, "Master, why don't you let it have self-awareness too?" Isn't that bad? Or is it because of hardware performance? ”

Zhao Fan sighed and looked back at the Royal Sister Robot: "Hardware performance is one reason, but the more important reason is that I feel that if I were an artificial intelligence like you, I would definitely not be able to accept that my body was like this!" But it's still a work in progress, maybe I'm wrong, or I'll try to make it self-aware when I'm more sure in the future! But for now, I guess I'd better not try it lightly! ”

The royal sister robot thought about it, nodded heavily, and agreed with the master's statement: "Indeed, I don't want such a body either, I can't do anything but fight, not only is it boring, but I can't experience a lot of beautiful things, I think I'll definitely go crazy!" ”
