Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hollow Man (7)

In a secret conference room in the Perfect Technology Building, all the executives are sitting at a long table.

Among them, the man sitting alone in the first place said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing happened, we should have concentrated on recycling those robots that were disassembled and reinstalled, but the founder meant that they would be cold first." ”

If you look closely, you can see that they are not actually here, these are just projections of them.

After all, this is a very convenient era, almost everything no longer needs to be present in person, just need to be handed over to the robot to do, at most you can remotely command at a critical moment.

Although many robots are in abnormal conditions nowadays, they don't need those robots for meetings, and they can be handled by Perfect Technology's intelligent system Blu-ray.

A man who seemed to be a major shareholder frowned and said, "Cold treatment? Our stock price is falling every day, public opinion is getting worse, and although we have sent out PR to spread the rhetoric that we hope that robots will awaken their minds or become good friends with humans, there is still inevitable mass concern among the public, and now the most extreme groups of people have even formed organizations such as the Anti-Robot Alliance, if we continue to deal with it coldly, I am afraid that the situation will be more serious, right? ”

"Yes, Mr. President, are you sure that's what the founder meant? Has he been on vacation for too long and has been disconnected? But as long as he has a look on the Internet, how can he say this kind of meaning? Another high-level was equally opposed.

The man known as the president also frowned slightly, obviously puzzled, but he just shook his head and said helplessly: "No way, this is indeed what he meant, I also asked him, but he said......"

"Say what?"

The president suddenly changed his voice and asked, "Do you remember the inspection report of the inspection department on the batch of abnormal robot samples we first recovered?" ”

"You mean that diagnosis? It is suspected that someone has modified the underlying programs of these robots with the highest privileges? But at that time, it was just an exception, of course, so it was okay to guess, but now this is happening with almost all robots, and it can't be that someone is changing the past one by one, right? ”

The president nodded, but his expression was a little strange: "But I asked the founder with this diagnosis when there was a case at the beginning, after all, I am the only one who has this authority except him, and of course I can't do this kind of thing, so I was also suspicious of him at the time and asked him with this report."

But he smiled as if he had expected it, and even seemed a little happy, although he said that he had never changed the code of any robots, but I felt from his tone and attitude as if he had known about it for a long time, and he seemed to be hinting at me that more robots would be abnormal in the future, and that there might be even bigger anomalies......"

"Why? I don't quite understand, you're saying that the founders probably knew that the Perfect One robot would have a large-scale anomaly, but this ...... Wait, the core of Perfect One was indeed designed by the founder at the beginning, could it be that he deliberately planted such a bomb in the underlying program early on? ”

The high-ranking person who said this was stunned, and he could see through the projection that the cold sweat on his face was about to come out, because this result was really a bit scary.

The other woman sneered, "I know, this madman, what can't he do for fun?" I didn't want to invest in the first place, because the first time I saw him, I felt that this person was chattering and unreliable, if it weren't for my advisors and subordinates repeatedly assuring me of his ability, I didn't want to invest in Perfect Technology at all, I should have invested in another company, now it's all over! ”

Although the woman was a little disrespectful to the founder, the president did not refute her, but took the surprise on the faces of everyone present at the moment.

Then he smiled meaningfully, and his body no longer sat so straight.

Then, he tapped the table with one hand on his cheek and the tip of his fingers, and said slowly while recalling: "When he first designed this product, I saw a strange smile on his face more than once, and I heard him say things like 'the product I design must have life' and 'the artist's work must have a soul'......"

"No, listen to you, could it be that the founder really did this on purpose? If something happens, we're not going to go to jail, are we? ”

At this moment, a high-level said worriedly, now he doesn't even care about money or not, he is afraid of being held responsible, after all, there are so many robots in the world, in case of a subsequent large-scale outbreak of malignant events caused by robots, the responsibility and crime may be so big that it will break through the sky, and it is more than enough to pull all the high-level executives present to shoot them, in case something worse happens, such as what robot independence......

Now, a group of high-level executives can't sit still, originally they thought it was just a product defect incident, which at most lost reputation, as long as it is handled properly, the loss is still acceptable, after all, the intelligent robot technology of Perfect Technology is the only one in the world, and the robots of other companies can't compare with them at all, they are almost a monopoly, and they can earn back the loss afterwards, and it can even be said that they have no loss, but at this stage they make less or no money.

But now, the president tells them that this may be a deliberate design by the founder, and listening to them, it seems that there may be more and bigger problems in the future, and that it is likely to lead to consequences that everyone cannot imagine and cannot bear.

Everyone showed worry and even horror on their faces, because the founder they knew was a genius with a bit of neuroticism, and his personality and hobbies were very different from ordinary people.

In a way, aside from his top-notch scientific prowess, everyone would actually think that he is more of an artist than a scientist, and if he must be called a scientist, it must be the type of scientific maniac, or the most terrifying.

Artists, on the other hand, often think differently from ordinary people, and their founders may really do this kind of thing for fun.

At this moment, the president smiled helplessly and indifferently, and seemed to have completely given up struggling: "Don't worry, this thing is basically designed by him independently, and it is his responsibility to go wrong, and the cold handling of external events at this moment is also his request, looking at his appearance, it seems that he wants to wait until the kind of thing we think happens, hehe......

If he wants to play, let him play, anyway, when something happens, he will go to jail alone, and the company can still continue to open, it's nothing more than a different model of robot, almost almost, the monopoly is gone, I believe you have made no less money in the past few years, there is nothing to worry about, and there is really any responsibility to bear, at most it will sit on the head of me, the president, and it has nothing to do with you......"

Hearing the president say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But there were still people who hesitated and said, "But are we really going to sit back and let that madman continue to play?" ”

"Hehe, then what's not, the founder's right is the greatest, he clearly issued a cold treatment, if someone wants to disobey, they will be fired now, and now it's just that the robot is abnormal, not necessarily the robot will really hurt humans, after all, the three laws of the robot have long been written into the underlying logic of all robots, and will not be eliminated for any reason, as for the robot awakening thought, I don't believe in this thing anyway, the so-called abnormality is just the code written by the founder in advance."

"Besides......" The president looked at everyone present and smiled tacitly: "I believe that everyone present is pure businessmen, and no one really is worried because they can't bear to see someone injured by robots, right?" ”

"Hehehehehehe......"

At this moment, everyone smiled tacitly.

"Then, I declare that everything will be done according to the founder's wishes, and we will deal with it coldly first, and wait for something bigger to break out, or he will give the order again, and we will be able to make more money at the end anyway."

After the president finished the last sentence, he was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, but suddenly, he seemed to have received some news over there, and raised his eyebrows, "What did you say?" ”

Then, he looked at the people present with a strange expression and said, "Everyone, the company building has been fenced up for the past two days, you should know, right?" ”

"You know, what's wrong, there's no one in the company, they can't force their way in, right?"

"It's strange here, not only is there someone in the company, but that person also came out with an obviously abnormal robot, he not only said that the anomalous robot was his assistant, but also publicly announced that the robot was human, and was willing to accept any test to prove that he was right."

The president's expression became more and more strange, and he slowly continued: "At this moment, he has taken the robot together to accept the relevant tests, note that the test process is broadcast live by reporters, and it is open to the public......"
