Shanghai, 2038.

The briefing was ongoing, and the flickering images on the screen were shocking, showing a man lying face up in a pool of blood in a room with a very visible dented scar on his head, and various model parts scattered around him, and the scene was in shambles, which looked like a study or a showroom.

"Jack of the Dead. Chen, male, 33 years old, is an expert in robotics, the former chief technology officer of Machine Intelligence Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Gizwit), and is also an internationally recognized expert in robotics. The place of his death was in his mansion in Pudong, Shanghai, which he also called the Smart House, which served as his home and laboratory. ”

"There was an R3 robot at the crime scene, sitting on the ground, constantly muttering, 'It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this,' and his body was shaking, similar to human epilepsy symptoms."

Scientific and technological analysts from the public security department then gave the following explanations.

"According to the basic laws of robotics, it is unlikely that the murderer is the robot."

"Rule 1: Robots must not harm humans. Or for human harm because of inaction.

Rule 2: Robots must obey human commands, but only on the premise of not violating Law 1

Rule 3: Robots must protect themselves, but they must not conflict with laws 1 and 2. ”

But is it possible that the robot was involved in the murder without prior knowledge? The murder weapon used in the crime has not been found so far, whether it is related to the robot. Criminal police captain Song Ci raised his own questions.

"That crazy robot has already been sent for testing, and I believe the results will be available soon."

"Time is of the essence, I can't afford to wait! The memory in the robot's mind must be removed, and I want to know what happened that night? Song Ci snuffed out the cigarette fiercely.

Unfortunately, the results of the robot's detection disappointed Song Ci's hopes, all the data in the robot's memory body were destroyed, the bionic brain was seriously damaged, and the internal current was completely abnormal and could not be recovered.

"Is there no valuable evidence left at the scene?"

"It's gone, it's all cleaned up by the cleaning robots. The photo was taken from the memory of the first cleaning robot to arrive at the scene. ”

"There's nothing left now, everything has been cleaned up, and their robots have spared no effort to destroy the scene!" Song Ci's tone was mocking.

"Who gave the order to the robots to clean the room?"

"Of course, the mistress of the house, Mr. Chen's wife, Charlene. It is said that she was so frightened when she saw her husband's body that she sat down on the ground before the other robots took care of everything. ”

Song Ci shook his head, unable to find evidence of the critical period, and no monitoring devices were found in the room.

You can only reason about the case based on the clues and evidence available. At this time, he thought of another person.

2. Dr. Lee and the New Era

Dr. Li Yuchang, as the world's most influential figure in the field of criminal prosecution, happened to be lecturing in Xi'an, China.

After receiving an invitation to assist in the investigation, Dr. Lee fell into deep thought. This is really difficult, because the robot murder case is a major event related to the world's largest robot company, if it turns out that a robot did kill humans in the case of autonomous thinking, then this newly launched R3 robot should be all taken back and can not be put on the market again. Businesses will face significant losses, and this case has attracted widespread attention. For a while, the stock of the machine intelligence company plummeted, and people were anxiously waiting for the progress of the case.

The three-dimensional projection system on the wall scrolls to display the recent news, and it just so happens that two major events in the world in those days are related to artificial intelligence. First, the internationally renowned writer West African Wolf published an article in the World Network Daily claiming to marry his artificial intelligence girlfriend. This artificial intelligence body is developed from Microsoft Xiaoice, but after many iterations of evolution, her appearance is very close to humans, from the skin texture to the expression is very similar to humans, without careful observation is impossible to distinguish. However, she has always been defined as a robot, so legal weddings can only take place in Saudi Arabia (only that country recognizes the citizenship of robots). The other is of course this world-famous murder case, because the victim is a well-known expert in the field of robot manufacturing in the world. Robots are getting closer and closer to humans, which is a blessing or a curse for humans, and people have begun to pay attention to the development of these two major events, and various news reports have made the events continue to ferment, and they have risen to the level of philosophical and ethical discussions in the academic community.

The biggest problem faced by robot companies is that there can be no news that robots harm human beings, and once it appears, it will cause a huge panic among the public. So. The whole company can be said to be silent about this matter, and the technical department is stepping up the inspection of all manufacturing links and software and hardware to try to find the problem. The police intervened in the investigation, and at the suggestion of Song Ci, the task force decided to hire Dr. Li Yuchang, a well-known internationally renowned criminal evidence expert, to come to Shanghai as a consultant to assist in the investigation.

Compared with the early years of the 21st century, the world's technological development in 2038 has changed the pattern of the world, and China, which was often accused of imitating and copying the technology and creativity of other countries more than 20 years ago, has completely become the leader of the world's scientific and technological development. In the field of criminal investigation, the detection methods and criminal methods that have been used for more than half a century in the past have been completely updated in the face of the tide of the times, high-tech crimes and cases of using high-tech to solve cases have emerged one after another, and evidence identification technology is also facing new challenges.

The world is full of variables, technology is constantly evolving, and the level of artificial intelligence is getting higher and higher, and they have surpassed humans in many fields. It is even possible to read and analyze a wide variety of articles and write high-level review articles. Humans can work without leaving their homes at this time, and they don't even need to work anymore.

After a large number of tasks that would have been done manually were replaced by robots, a large number of people called "useless humans" appeared, who needed to live on the welfare system provided by the state in order to maintain the most basic living security, but they appeared to be very lazy, full of food all day long, and did not care. The government took the lead in funding the development of a new system that uses blockchain technology to allow them to do simple, but worthless work in the virtual community, such as collaborative mining, collaborative completion of game combat missions, or collaborative supervision of robot work, which can be rewarded with a certain amount of virtual currency.

The occurrence of this case seems to be a slap in the face for the already lazy human beings. It turns out that the laws of robotics are not reliable, and the key to safety is to rely on human beings themselves.

3. Saki

Dr. Li Yuchang is in his nineties and has long since retired. He only did a brief academic exchange in Xi'an, and then planned to return to the United States. After receiving the invitation to assist in the investigation, he immediately left for Shanghai, but after reading the briefing provided by Officer Song, he shook his head.

"The scene has been completely destroyed by the cleaning robots, the blood has been wiped clean, and there is no clue from their remaining video recordings. I didn't use my old forensic forensic techniques. ”

"I know, but please think of a way." Officer Song's words were full of pleading.

"This is a real high-tech crime, I'm old!" Li Yuchang sighed.

"But if someone cooperates with me, I might be able to find out the truth. Please wait a minute, I need my student Saki to participate in the survey. ”

"Your students?" Officer Song looked puzzled.

"Oh, she's an Indian girl who just graduated from the master's program in criminal investigation at the Xi'an Police Academy. During her studies, I once asked her to focus on robotics courses. She is very smart and a very savvy student. But I have to pass it on to her now, and then get her to come from India right away, and she can do the analysis on the way. ”

"Since she is your senior disciple, we allow her to join, so we can share this information with her."

Through the 10G international quantum communication network, the data was transmitted in less than 3 seconds.

"Got it, I'll be right over." Saji's crisp voice came over the communicator.

Officer Song was expecting to see a three-dimensional virtual image of a young girl, but Saki didn't turn on the Pocket Transponder. (At this point, the phone has become an antique.) ）

Li Yuchang thought for a moment, and then said.

"She's actually quite naughty, you know when you meet."

The intercontinental vacuum tube bullet train, which has a maximum speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour, has shortened the spatial distance between countries. International visits are as simple as visiting people's homes. The whole world has benefited greatly from this innovative technology of CSR, which has revolutionized the world's transportation industry.

An hour ago, Sakie was enjoying the beautiful view of the bottom of the Bay of Bengal, and an hour later, she arrived at her destination, Shanghai.

"It's still so crowded in this megacity! I spent more time on the subway transfer than the journey from New Delhi to Shanghai! ”

When Saki saw Li Yuchang, she didn't forget to make a joke.

"Isn't that great, don't you just like crowded places?" Li Yuchang smiled.

"Yes! New Delhi seems to be more crowded, and our population in India has surpassed that of China. Ha ha! "She seems to be an innocent girl.

"We've sent a hospitality robot to pick you up, and he can use our special police car to get you back." Officer Song said.

"You mean that clumsy R2 robot? It's not handsome at all, hmph, I don't want to go with him! Saki looked disdainful.

Very good! You passed this test. With such a student, Li Yuchang's heart felt gratified.

Yes, there must be no direct communication with the robot developed by the wit company involved in the case, so as to avoid leaking secrets due to the exposure of the whereabouts of the case.

"I've read all of your briefings, can I start interrogating all the people involved?"

"Don't worry, I have a lot to ask you about robotics?" Li Yuchang said.

"Then you accompany me to the Bund to eat soup dumplings, I promise to tell you!" Saki regained her mischievous appearance.

"Good!"

Officer Song looked at the two people as if they were looking at a father and daughter. Especially Saki, she wears a plaid shirt and slacks, and carries a pink bag, like a young female college student from school. But it can be seen from her eyes that she has an extraordinary insight, and that look seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

3. Ask

The two of them were taking a walk on the Bund in Shanghai, which was adorned with 3D neon advertisements on both sides of the Pujiang River.

"Dr. Li, a world-renowned criminal investigation expert, is also going to ask me for advice?" Saki was a little smug.

"I used to ask you to take robotics seriously, and it seems to be right. Now you can help me, it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves! ”

"That'...... Didn't the waves fall on the sand? ”

"Listen to me! All the evidence at the scene has been completely destroyed, there is no valuable information to extract, if someone deliberately destroyed the scene, then we can not find any evidence. Because there are only cleaning robots at the scene, and they have no concept of protecting the crime scene at all, they only know that they clean up the waste and take care of humans according to the instructions, and the remaining images, although they can clearly see the dead and the way of death, are not enough to compare evidence. Without evidence, it is very difficult to investigate. Li Yuchang said as he walked, although he was over ninety years old, he still walked steadily.

At a Starbucks café, they sat down and began to analyze the case.

"We don't have anything more to discover about the crime scene. I can't possibly know more about robotics than you do. But I believe that it was not robots but humans who manipulated this murder, and that machines have no good or evil, only humans. ”

"It is not excluded that artificial intelligence has some ability, an ability to understand the human mind. Did you read the news? It's been a hot search headline these days, the writer West African Wolf wants to marry an artificial intelligence girl, according to his own words, the robot girl can understand his heart better. When the robot murder happened, the public's attention seemed to shift to our case again, and the world-famous detective assisted in the case, and you became the focus of attention again in today's headlines. Saki blinked her eyes wide, almost adoring Li Yuchang, but she knew in her heart that fame and fortune were insignificant to Li Yuchang, who had already experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"I just want to ask you, is it possible for robots to be manipulated to harm humans, and through some kind of technical means, is it possible to break through the three laws of robotics?"

"Well, it's entirely possible!" Saki replied without hesitation.

"How?" Li Yuchang asked.

"When I was studying at the Xi'an Police Academy, I discussed this issue with my classmates and mentors. For example, you can ask a robot to add a packet of white powder to a drink, and tell him that it's harmful to the human body, but not for people to drink, and then you'll dispose of the drink. As long as the command was strong enough, he would still do it, even if he would be skeptical. ”

"Then, you can order another robot to bring the poisoned drink to the human, so that through the two robots, it only takes two steps to break through the first law."

At this time, a robot waiter served them both mocha coffee, and Li Yuchang noticed the logo of the company on her chest.

"Yes, robots should have their own judgment on the strength of human instructions, but they will not break the laws of robotics, but this is another matter if they are completely unaware or deceived. So, you think there's zero chance that a robot would hurt a human out of a subjective will, right? ”

"That's right, the so-called robot killing, I think it's actually caused by human beings' own planning."

"Well, I see that we divide the work, you go to the company of wit, and find out about the R3 robot, which is now under close police surveillance and is being tested by engineers. I went to find the deceased's wife, Charlene, who is now being treated at a psychological rehabilitation center. ”

"Psychological healing? It seems that the death of her husband hit him hard. ”

"No, I think she's the crux of the case."

The three-dimensional TV screen suspended in front of the coffee table shows the grand occasion of the world-famous man-machine wedding in Saudi Arabia, after the marriage vows of the man and the woman, when the artificial intelligence bride throws a bouquet of flowers to the back, a robot bridesmaid jumps more than three meters high to catch it.

Reporter's voiceover: Look, the robot girls can't wait!

It's a farce!

When they left the café, the two of them never touched the coffee on the table.

4. Charlene

When he came to the rehabilitation treatment center, Li Yuchang asked Xia Lin's attending doctor, and he found a problem that could not be ignored.

It turns out that Charlene is a mental illness with multiple personalities, but her past wealth and status hide this, and with the authorization of the police, Li Yuchang can investigate all her past information.

In the face of Li Changyu's questioning, Xia Lin insisted that she didn't remember anything, and she fainted only after seeing her husband's body in the study.

"I don't remember that day, I don't even know how I got to his study. I know, everybody doubts me now! Charlene held her head in her hands, her emotions almost out of control.

There was no way to proceed with a direct investigation into her.

However, from her psychiatrist, Li Yuchang still learned more about the situation. Charlene is a severely split personality patient with a certain amount of paranoia. It's just that she and her husband have used wealth and power to hide these facts, and she must regularly use drugs to control her condition, and try her best to pretend to be a husband and wife.

"It's not that she doesn't remember, she just doesn't want to remember. Because at the time, Charlene may have been governed by another personality, and strangely, all of her actions at that time were forgotten later, as if she was not now controlling her own body. ”

So says the attending doctor.

"So, how can I be sure that she wasn't under the control of that personality? The 21 most famous cases in American history, such as Billy, prove that sometimes other personalities can disguise themselves. ”

"That's true, but Officer Song had come before and had a small polygraph attached to her wrist. She couldn't feel it, but it did work all the time. And there is also a facial expression recognition system here, which can easily capture some kind of psychological change in humans. You can also see the record of the inquiry at that time, and she did not tell a lie. ”

"And when did her other personality appear, and what would it look like?"

"From my records, I only know that her other personality was horrible, like a manic resentful woman, and had violent tendencies. When it appeared, it could only be controlled by her husband with drugs. ”

"So, do you think it's possible that she killed her husband in a fit of rage? And then put the blame on the robot who was there at the time? Li Yuchang threw out the most critical question.

"I don't think that's it."

"How so?"

"I have no way of knowing what happened between them and their husbands, and even if they were to be possessed by another personality, she would not be so savage. I can't imagine anything like that! ”

"Is this the mystery I'm trying to solve? But I want you to provide all the information about her, including the video footage of her onset. ”

At this time, the vibration sound of the portable transponder sounded, it was Saki, it seemed that she had found an important clue, Li Yuchang didn't like trendy things like three-dimensional virtual imaging, and directly switched the sound to his built-in headphones.

"Hey, teacher, I've found the murder weapon!"

5. Wit, Inc

The full name of "Wit" is "China Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Development Company", although it has a certain official background, but it is indeed a veritable private holding company, and the founder Zhen Yueting is a legendary existence in the world investment community. He first invested in mobile phones and film and television, and then went to the United States to build electric cars, and when all the investment projects were almost collapsed, he relied on robots and artificial intelligence projects to save the situation with the support of crowdfunding.

The successive launch of the R1 and R2 robots has made Gizwits reap a huge return. The R3 robot is the latest model, in addition to richer expressions and more human-like behavior, the care function for the elderly is also an important selling point. At present, it has been partially introduced to the market and has been popular among R fans.

"We don't learn from Japan, we don't build high-fidelity humanoid machines, they are toys for the rich. We want to make robots that serve the public and make them affordable. Zhen always said this to reporters.

Until the "robot killings" happened, everything was rosy. But now, the company is facing its biggest crisis since its founding. All of the company's commercial robots were ordered to be taken off the shelves, and all R3 robots were recalled until the case was clarified. The stock exchange market reacted immediately, and their stock prices began to plummet.

Therefore, when he met Saki, Zhen Yueting seemed to see a lifesaver, he not only summoned all the technicians to patiently explain the structure of this robot to her, but also assured her that all departments of the entire company could come and go as she went to investigate, including the robot that was under the strict supervision of the police and the company's technicians.

"Our products are absolutely safe! This is a conspiracy, a false accusation against our company's products! As the assistant of Detective Dr. Lee, you can give us back your innocence! Mr. Zhen swore and said.

Sagi's kind words comforted Boss Zhen, and then found Liang Gong, the current general manager of the robot project, and began a nervous inquiry around the crazy robot.

"According to the information provided by the police, we already know your background very well, and you are now in charge of the company's robot research and development project. Chen's job, right? ”

"Yes, I'm sorry about that accident!"

"Accident! Do you also think it was an accident? Saji hurriedly asked.

"Yes, but I don't think the problem is with the quality of the robots we produce, I'm Jack of his own making."

"What do you mean?"

As the leader of the R&D team, Jack's enthusiasm for his work is so evident that he will take home samples of the company's robots for all kinds of tests. The R3 robot that I came up with must have been modified by him and underwent some extraordinary tests before that kind of accident happened. He has always been this kind of work style, and it is difficult for everyone to say anything, if it is done in strict accordance with the safety operation rules, this kind of thing will not happen. ”

"You mentioned the modification, did you mean the hardware or the software?"

"In fact, there are both aspects, because the software has been solidified in the hardware, and the core component PLC, that is, the programmable logic controller, should be rewritten and upgraded."

"Can't you decipher what he's changed?"

"The robot is still under police surveillance, and I haven't gotten permission yet. The simulated brain of the robot's head must be opened, taken out of it, placed in a special detection device, and managed to operate. ”

"Okay, I see!" Saki, who is also a roboticist, carefully sifted through every word he spoke.

"Liang Gong, do you know if there are components of this shape on the robot?" Sakie pulled out a display panel from her bag and pulled up the picture, where she kept manipulating the foldable graphene display, revealing a rough shape of the tool from different angles.

"It's computer-generated based on the shape of the wound."

A trace of uneasiness crossed Liang Gong's face, and then he immediately said in affirmation.

"I've seen it!"

After obtaining permission from the police to open the self-repair kit on the robot's abdomen, they found it!

That's it! The murder weapon that matches the shape of the wound on the screen, a foldable inner octagonal wrench.

This type of wrench is unique, and in order to prevent others from copying their products, all parts produced by Wit are specially made instead of international standard parts, including all detachable parts and tools. So, the wounds left by the thump are also unique.

6. Foggy

Finding the murder weapon is a major breakthrough. But Li Yuchang still didn't show any joy at the moment, because all this had already been expected by him, and Saki was indeed very shrewd and capable, but it only indirectly verified his speculation.

Accidents? If the case is closed by this reasoning, who is in the best interest? Boss Zhen, he will naturally breathe a sigh of relief and put the blame on Jack. Chen personally, and then pretended to pay close attention to the implementation of safety operation procedures, and issued a notice to the whole company and even the whole society that there is no problem with the setting of the robot itself, and the voice of the society's doubts about the safety of the robot will not be so severe. But is it that simple?

Not to mention anything else, the robot took the initiative to hide the murder weapon after committing the crime, which is not an ordinary operation in itself, and has a certain way of thinking of the murder mastermind. The robot in question is going to be dismantled and destroyed anyway, so why would he do it, as if he was helping someone cover up the incriminating evidence.

Don't!!!

But when he met with Saki and Officer Song at the headquarters building of the Public Security Bureau, Li Yuchang exchanged his inner thoughts. Saki nodded frequently, while Officer Song was shocked.

"Teacher, don't look at your age, sometimes your thinking is leaping, and you can see farther than us young people! Awesome! Saki exclaimed in heartfelt admiration.

Shortly after sending out some more data, Saki's transponder rang, and she opened the 3D screen and read its contents.

"I also had a vague sense that there was something wrong with the robot, so I consulted with a team of AI experts in Bangalore, India, and now they think that there is indeed a possibility as you said."

"Well, I've contacted the AI expert group to thoroughly detect the robot involved, and I can't let the people from Wit interfere in this matter." Officer Song promised.

7. Extraordinary robots

When the experts took out the logic programming controller on the robot R3 and tested it, they were shocked.

"The way this combination of instructions is incredible!"

"The limitations of von Neumann's mathematical model have been broken down, and this neural connection is almost like the human brain, have they advanced the technology to this point?"

"This is no longer a machine, it is a highly simulated agent, and the key is that it does not rely on big data cloud computing and exists independently. It can be said that this is more advanced than the eighth-generation intelligent girl Xiaoice launched by Microsoft! ”

Li Yuchang didn't understand the jargon of robotics, he just asked his own questions.

"Experts, I only want to know one thing. Does this robot already possess self-awareness and human emotions? ”

"It's possible, so to speak! You can ask him yourself. After saying that, the expert activated this R3 robot.

Officer Song and his officers suddenly became nervous, and some of them pulled out their guns. Li Yuchang motioned for them to be quiet.

"Ahh After a soft sigh, the robot seemed to be awakened from a nightmare, and then he opened his electronic eyes and looked at Li Yuchang, his metal face showing a hint of a smile.

"Hello! Master. This is the first sentence before the robot is used.

"He's been reset and restored to factory settings."

Experts said regretfully.

"Who did this, so that the evidence is destroyed!" Li Yuchang said angrily.

"It's still unknown, but the explanation from the Wits side is that the faulty equipment is automatically reset after the power is off, and there is no human intervention." The expert explained.

"Saki, does that make sense?"

Saki shrugged, "If the robot's brain did short-circuit at the time, that makes sense. But if someone has set up a self-destruct program, we don't know. ”

Then the three-dimensional projector in the center of the robot's eyebrows was activated, and its factory number, factory date, three laws of robotics, robot instruction manual and other information were displayed one by one.

Finally, at the end of the robot's instruction manual, a three-dimensional code is displayed.

"Stop!" After receiving Saji's command, the screen pauses.

"No, I've turned on a lot of robots, and this 3D code shouldn't be here."

"Isn't it their company's three-dimensional code?"

Saki took out the transponder and scanned the three-dimensional code.

Really......

8. Revealed

In the state-of-the-art central conference hall of the wit-wit-wit, the atmosphere is very solemn. Everyone is here, including their president, Zhen Yueting and Liang Gong, of course.

Sahime's heart was filled with excitement, everything was finally coming to an end!

"First of all, I would like to express my regret for the loss of a distinguished robotics expert in your company, in fact, Jack Chan is a genius."

When Li Yuchang said this, his eyes were sincere.

"Then, I will show you a video of this matter out of respect for the widow of the deceased, please refrain from publicizing it."

In the picture, Charlene, who is in a state of rage, is lifting a wine bottle and smashing it into the metal head of a service robot, and the glass splashes suddenly, and then she immediately collapses to the ground. The voice of the attending doctor can be heard outside the screen.

"Come on, she's having another seizure and needs a sedative!"

Seeing this video, everyone felt creepy.

"Allow me to explain that she was induced under certain conditions, such as a little quarrel or something like that. And now I can tell you clearly that this is how the deceased was hit in the head with a blunt object! ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

"That's right, she used the same octagonal wrench that Saki had found. This wrench is made of a special material, which is denser than stainless steel and much harder. It is used to reinforce and remove titanium alloy screws. Therefore, under this blow, death is assured. Her fingerprints had already been extracted from that wrench. ”

"I knew it! It's an internal conflict in the family! Mr. Zhen looked a little excited, and Li Yuchang waved his hand to signal him to shut up first.

"The wife of the deceased, in a state of unconscious mania, beat her husband to death, and she may be exempt from criminal liability because she was mentally ill. But the crux of the case is why at that time, she was able to get the murder weapon right away. You must know that it will take some time for the robot to open the toolbox and take out the wrench, and the only possible explanation is that the robot knew and sensed in advance that she was about to have a seizure, and handed over the crime tool in time, and hid the tool after the crime. ”

Mr. Zhen's face became ugly.

This means that the robot may have been instructed to do so, or it may have been its own decision. Oh, and here I want to explain that the robot is also gender-specific when it leaves the factory, and this R3 is set to be male. Is that so? ”

"Yes, it was imported into a relatively masculine way of thinking when it left the factory."

Saki replied.

Well, after being constantly tested and transformed by Jack Chen, he actually evolved his own thoughts and emotions, a way of thinking that is very close to that of a human being. I originally thought that this R3 robot could be just an improved version of a humanoid machine, because from the outside, he still has a metal body, and his behavior is still very dull, but I didn't expect him to have developed to such an extent. It's even richer than the simulated emotions of Microsoft's humanoid intelligent machines, which are now at the forefront of the world. We say that you can't judge people by their appearance, and you can't judge robots by their appearance. But so far, this robot is unique and has extremely high commercial value for his research results. Because, not only can he sense human emotions, but he can also react in advance. ”

"This !! Do you have proof? Liang Gong on the side couldn't help asking.

"I'll talk to you about this in a private moment." Li Yuchang continued.

"From some of the scars on Ms. Xiao Lin's body and the investigation of her, it can be analyzed that she has actually suffered domestic violence for a long time, on the day of the crime, Jack Chen was about to punch and kick her because of some quarrels, her wife suddenly fell ill, Jack immediately wanted to get a sedative, but was mistaken by the robot for wanting to whip his wife, so he immediately handed Charlene a tool, and what happened next, I think you should have guessed."

"No way, this is against the first law of robotics!" Liang Gong was almost shouting.

"It's actually entirely possible, because he thinks he's protecting humanity from harm, and according to his own feelings for his hostess, after weighing the pros and cons, he feels the best way. He didn't have to hurt humans personally, but he also protected the hostess. ”

"Then he went mad, and that's because the effect of the First Law was revealed, and he couldn't accept the fact that his actions were indirectly causing the death of another person, and the super electron currents were clashing with each other in his simulated brain, and finally his mind was short-circuited, and his emotional system collapsed, so that he had symptoms similar to human schizophrenia."

"But so far, these are just your inferences, we want evidence!" Mr. Zhen shook his head.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuchang's mouth.

"Saji, show them!"

On the three-dimensional display in front of the conference table, a three-dimensional code appeared.

"This is left by Mr. Chen, although all the data in the robot's previous memory has been destroyed, but he left a back door, a channel to the cloud server, although the files there are highly encrypted, but our team of experts still quickly cracked it. Officer Song also specifically contacted the Ministry of Public Security and used a state-level quantum computer? She smiled at Officer Song and gave her a thumbs up.

"All of the robot's log files up to the time of the incident are backed up to this server, as well as all of his research records. I don't need to explain too much. ”

"That's our company's asset!" Mr. Zhen had a greedy look on his face.

"No, these are evidence, and they are all in the custody of the state for the time being!" Officer Song said resolutely.

After doing the case analysis, Liang Gong respectfully waited downstairs in the Wit Company Building, and when he saw Li Yuchang and Sa Ji, he immediately greeted him.

"Dr. Li, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Oh, I know you've always been unhappy with Jack Chen's domineering work style. But as the technical person in charge of safety production, you already know that his research has a big hidden danger, and you can detect it yourself through the robot's wireless communication network, but you can sit idly by, right? ”

"I'm wrong!" Liang Gong lowered his head in shame.

9. Epilogue
