Chapter 4 Is This a Crossing?
Although Zhao Xu reluctantly accepted the other party's statement, it was impossible to say that he would absolutely trust it now.
His mind was no longer so flustered, and at least, so far, the alien visitor had done nothing to hurt him.
He moved a little closer, and through the glass of the car, he saw that the seats inside were still the same, but with a hazy metallic sheen.
If Zhao Xu was a person who had been spoiled by his parents since he was a child and had never encountered a sinister person, he would not have been so wary, maybe he would have accepted this great "opportunity" happily like many novel protagonists, and began to use YY himself to have the help of this alien visitor, how to sweep the universe and be majestic.
Because such people lack the spirit of struggle, they can think that the love given to them by their parents is justified, they can think that under the shadow of their parents, their happy life is justified, and they will naturally think that the alien super technology that fell from the sky is also deserved, and they must belong to themselves.
Zhao Xu is not, he is different from those adult giant babies, he is not a paranoid patient with only one tendon in his head, although he is not a teenager or an old man, but at least he will let his thinking logic go around in his mind a few times before making a decision.
"Little ...... I'll just call you Cortana. Zhao Xu said, "Can you tell me, what are you going to do when you come to Earth?"
"Retrieval data...... Retrieval failed. Master, most of the database of this cluster has been destroyed with the consciousness of the subject, and the previous memory chip has also been burned, and the information that can be known at present only includes the structure of the cluster itself, as well as the call authority of the development module, and everything before the explosion in the air is unknown. Cortana replied.
"Memory...... No, I mean, can your original subjective consciousness be restored? someday in the future?" Zhao Xu asked the question he wanted to ask the most, although he knew that the other party could completely prevaricate with lies.
"There is no repair, I can find a vehicle for the self-reconstruction of materials to carry the subject's consciousness, and after testing, this planet does not have the materials I need. Cortana replied, "But even if the reconstruction is successful, the main consciousness of the settled carrier is me, that is, the owner named Cortana, not any other existence!"
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, he heard that there seemed to be a trace of strange feelings in Xiao Na's words, it seemed to be domineering?
In such a short period of time, just based on the voice assistant of a human mobile phone, [emotion] was born?
Moreover, it already has a very clear "self" identity.
"Cortana, do you know? When we humans are attacked by external forces, we humans will instinctively curl up to protect our heads, because our brains are the main body of thought, so under normal circumstances, we will fight to get our bodies hurt, and we will also keep our heads safe. Zhao Xu said tentatively, "However, why can you, who were originally a "body", still exist, but the module of your main consciousness is damaged?"
"Master, I don't know what happened before the explosion. Cortana replied, "If the master is not at ease...... Please wait. ”
Soon, Zhao Xukou saw that in the middle of the front face of the car, there was a fiery red thing bulging, and then it fell to the ground.
This is an ellipsoidal unidentified object that looks a bit like a honeycomb, but it is badly damaged, and it can be seen that its original volume should be several times that of the current one, and the entire sphere exudes a fiery red shimmer that is different from the light blue of the body.
"This is the remnant module that originally carried the subject's consciousness, I have read the remnant data in it, and I originally wanted to use it to reshape a temporary template, in order to prevent any hidden regeneration procedures in it, in order to reassure the owner, of course, and let me feel at ease, it must disappear completely!" After speaking, the fog lights of the car suddenly lit up, emitting two purple-black lights, under the illumination of this light, the incomplete "beehive" was directly vaporized, and there was no slag left.
"In order to ensure the supremacy of the master, Cortana is the main consciousness of the cluster, and Cortana must also be the only ......," Cortana said as if she had taken an oath.
Zhao Xu suddenly had a feeling in his heart, this feeling was very strange, he couldn't say it, he felt that this scene was a bit of a sense of déjà vu, like, like...... The evil ghost who succeeded in snatching away killed the soul of the original owner!
"The newly-born intelligence is so ferocious? This guy is really not good at stubble. Zhao Xu confirmed in his heart.
Whatever the original conspiracy of this alien visitor was, it seems that it no longer matters, because its original subjective consciousness has completely disappeared along with the possible conspiracy or mission.
"If I were a saint who cared about all mankind, the most important thing I should do now would be to order this guy to hibernate himself forever, so as to ensure the safety of humanity to the greatest extent possible. Zhao Xu thought in his heart, "For the safety of mankind, give up your chance, there is nothing greater than this, I have never been great in my life, hehe." ”
"But I'm not a saint after all. Zhao Xu smiled bitterly, "I didn't know before, it turns out that I am this kind of person? It turns out that such a temptation is in front of me, I am so tempted, no matter how beautiful my mouth is, but my body is very honest, no matter what, I can't say the sentence 'You sleep'." ”
Indeed, Zhao Xu is not a fool, if he is sure that this alien visitor is here to destroy the earth, then he should refuse, but people have destroyed the original main consciousness to the point that there is no scum left, and at this time he really can't find any reason to refuse.
He knew what this alien visitor would bring him if he was absolutely loyal, and he would have a more brilliant life.
He couldn't refuse.
"Will you carry out my orders 100%?" Zhao Xu asked, "For example, an order that allows you to self-destruct." Or rather, to put you to sleep permanently. He remembered Asimov's "Three Principles of Robotics".
"......" for half a minute, and Cortana didn't respond.
"I can't lie to you, my master, I'm sorry......" Cortana finally spoke, "My first command is to ensure the safety of your life, the second is my own safety, and the third is your will. I will not give up my own existence unless it is for the sake of your life. ”
It's good, the logic has come out, and the cards are not played according to the routine.
Unless it is to protect Zhao Xu's life and must sacrifice itself, it will choose to sacrifice. There's nothing wrong with that, it's similar to one of the "Three Principles of Robotics".
Then there is the problem: putting his own safety before Zhao Xu's will means that in order to ensure his own safety, it can disobey Zhao Xu's orders.
For example, if Zhao Xu asked it to terminate itself, it would definitely refuse to carry out this order.
For example, if Zhao Xu asks it to carry out a certain mortal task, and the execution of the task will not affect Zhao Xu's life and death, Xiao Na will also refuse to carry it out.
This is an incomplete "master-servant relationship".
Zhao Xu did not express his dissatisfaction with this, because this "semi-master-servant relationship" is still more inclined to him in terms of logical advantages.
Of course, he and Cortana have been communicating for so long, and all the questions that should have been asked have been asked, maybe all this is just Cortana's empty words, and at least there is a seal in black and white to sign the contract, and their "half-master and servant relationship" has no substantial visible evidence, such as a remote control that "will make you explode if you don't obey" or something.
But Zhao Xu was already very satisfied, because he was not qualified to ask for more, because although he was the dominant party in the "half-master-servant relationship", in the face of absolute power, he was just an ant.
If it weren't for the coincidence, the shit luck would be bursting, and he wouldn't be the owner of the family.
Perhaps, if he wants to trust each other, he needs to "know the horsepower from afar, and see the hearts of the people over time", and they have experienced a period of time together.
......
"Boom. ”
There was a sudden sound of muffled thunder in the sky, interrupting Zhao Xu's thoughts.
He looked up, and with the help of that pair of magical glasses, he saw that there were dark clouds covering the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
"The weather forecast says it's going to be completely sunny all night tonight. He frowned.
"Master, an abnormal force field fluctuation has been detected, please enter my body as soon as possible!" Cortana's voice was a little serious, and the co-pilot's door popped open automatically.
Zhao Xu had never dared to sit in it before, because he was afraid that this alien visitor would harm him, but now Xiao Na suddenly nervously let him in, he was still a little stunned, because there were just a few dark clouds drifting, where did the "abnormal force field fluctuations" come from?
"It's too late, master, pay attention to hiding behind me!" Xiao Na accelerated on the spot, then drifted and flicked her tail, blocking in front of Zhao Xu.
"What......" Before Zhao Xu could say anything, he found a burst of strong light in front of the car, and something enveloped Xiao Na and him together, this light was so strong that although he was protected by the glasses, he was temporarily blind.
By the time I saw things again, it was already a minute later.
The slightly humid air is fresh, the stream is babbling, the bushes in front are lush, and the mountains in the distance are towering.
What shocked Zhao Xu the most was that there was actually a round of sun hanging in the sky, this sun was as big as a wheel, two or three times larger than the sun he had usually seen, he had never seen it!
"Nima, what's wrong? Forget about encountering aliens, come back?" Zhao Xu almost shouted, shouting out all the pressure he encountered tonight, "Is this a time crossing or what? Who will explain it to me?"
"Cortana, do you know what's going on? Did you do it? You also have the ability to travel through time and space?" Zhao Xu patted Cortana's car door.
"It's not me, master, traveling through time and space requires a huge amount of steady-state energy, and I don't have that ability. Cortana replied.
"It's not you...... Huh?" Zhao Xu noticed that in the upper right corner of his field of vision, there seemed to be a line of numbers that were constantly beating, and as he turned his head, he could follow the field of vision:
“71:59:32”
“71:59:31”
“71:59:30”
“......”
"It's ...... Countdown?" Zhao Xu muttered to himself, what he thought was the function of the glasses, but when he took off the glasses, he could still see.
"Cortana, can you see the countdown?" asked Zhao Xu.
"No, master, do you need me to do the countdown? How long is it?" Cortana replied.
"......" Zhao Xu was completely stunned, God, what does this mean?
Am I falling into the brains of some author?
"Boom!"
There was a shrill sound from the bushes, a bit like the cry of a monkey, and like a spring cat.
A short time later, a strange beast came out:
It was about the size of a dingo, and it looked like a bobcat, with black markings and a large circle of fluffy black hair around its neck, like a miniature lion.
The beast saw Zhao Xu and his car (Cortana) flutter for a moment, then arched itself, the mane on its neck all stood up, and a threatening roar came out of its throat, this voice was changeable, as if it was imitating all kinds of terrible sounds, one moment like a cow barking, one moment like the sound of a tree falling, one moment like something exploding, and another like a tiger roaring.
"What is this Nima?" Zhao Xu wanted to cry without tears: "Where am I?"
