Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City - #535 - Chapter 533 Bionic Robot Race

Li Lin’s sudden “Bionic Robot Zero” and “Turing Test” made Caitlin and David fall into silence.

After a moment, David recovered from his shock and said, “I’m sorry, Speaker Li, I didn’t understand what you meant…Are you talking about me?”

Caitlin stared at Li Lin thoughtfully, glancing at David from time to time, “Is this your new research result?”

“That’s right.” Li Lin raised a smile on his lips, “otherwise, do you really think that Zhinao and I would make mistakes on this kind of issue?”

David looked at the two of them confused.

“I’m sorry, David Black… No, to be precise, you don’t have a name yet, only the code name of the bionic robot Zero.”

“The bionic robot you are talking about refers to me?” David pointed at himself in astonishment and forced out an unnatural smile, “This, isn’t this right? How can I be a robot…”

Li Lin casually snapped his fingers, and the projection of the brain appeared, and the blue light of data enveloped David’s head.

Correspondingly, David’s eyes scattered a matching blue light, and countless data flashed in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man’s expression gradually evolved from the initial confusion and astonishment to a trance and absence, until finally he restrained all expressions.

There was a long silence in the room.

The expression on Caitlin’s face changed for a while, and she wanted to drag Li Lin out to find out what was going on, but it was not appropriate to leave “David Black” here.

Just as she was hesitating, the bionic robot Zero spoke: “I didn’t expect that I was born today.”

His voice became much colder and calmer, and he lost the nervousness and fear at the beginning, and he quickly accepted his new identity… to be more precise, his original identity.

Li Lin asked Zhi Nao to erase his implanted memory about David Black. It was only used for personality testing and should not become a shackles that bound Zero.

Although this brand new bionic robot race was created by Li Lin for professional advancement, after all, they are different from artificial intelligence brains that only have personified simulations. They are mechanical intelligent life in the true sense.

As the first clan member, Zero should create his own memory.

Under the control of Zhinao, the handcuffs on his wrists were released.

Zero moved his wrist slightly and stood up. Li Lin waved to him, then turned and walked towards the interrogation room.

Since he is not a criminal, the law enforcement officer in the monitoring room on the other side is already aware of the situation here and will not do anything to stop him.

When opening the door, Caitlin fell one step behind Li Lin, glanced at Zero on the other side, frowned and asked in a low voice: “So… what exactly is going on?”

Li Lin grabbed her little hand and smiled: “Let’s go to the academy and talk about it.”

…

…

Ground floor of the laboratory building at the University of Piltover.

Li Lin, Caitlin and Zero had just entered the room when they saw Heimerdinger, Jess, Victor and assistant Skye who had been waiting here for a long time.

They are the main people who help Li Lin in his research.

“Oh ho ho~~Boy, we actually succeeded!”

Heimerdinger was very excited. He ran forward in small steps, patted Li Lin’s calf, and then circled around Zero several times.

“Come here, kid. When we test your data again, and then help you register your identity information, you will be Piltover’s first bionic robot citizen!”

With the help of Intelligent Brain, Jess and Victor no longer need to be as busy entering data as in the past. In addition, now it is a completely intelligent scanning system, and there is no need to wear test equipment for Zero.

Just to give him as much humanistic care as possible, Victor and Skye stayed with Zero who was lying on the machine bed, while Jess and Heimerdinger were next to the transparent examination room, staring intently at the projection screen. data on.

On the other side, Caitlin, who was standing next to Li Lin, cleared her throat and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Now… can our busy man tell me what is going on?”

“Sorry, I can’t tell you in advance that this is a test.” Li Lin said with some apology on his face, holding Caitlin’s hand, “If you knew his identity in advance, or knew that this was a test, it would be meaningless.”

Caitlin blinked her beautiful eyes full of doubts, “I don’t understand, what exactly is your so-called ‘Turing test’?”

“This is a test proposed by Alan Matheson Turing. It was originally used to test artificial intelligence, but I modified the rules and mainly used it to test his personalized thinking and reactions.”

Alan Matheson Turing is the father of computer science and artificial intelligence in Li Lin’s world, but the computers in this world were developed by Li Lin, but no such person exists.

However, after Zinao “modified” the historical records, this “little-known” figure who proposed the concept of artificial intelligence was deliberately added to Piltover’s past history.

Therefore, even Heimerdinger, one of the founders of Piltover, would make sense if he did not know this person.

Li Lin looked in the direction of Zero and smiled as if he were looking at his own child. “Since you can hide his reaction from him, it seems that our experiment was successful.”

Caitlin’s eyes flickered, she pursed her lips and hesitated for a few seconds, “Do you think this is a real mechanical life, or was it created by you…”

She didn’t finish her words, but Li Lin understood what she wanted to express.

Caitlin is only thinking about whether the emergence of intelligent robots similar to humans will replace humans, and a series of human ethics issues that will extend from this.

“If your worries are as I suspected… First of all, have you ever considered the issue of intelligence and mechanical engineers?”

Caitlin was stunned, “What does this have to do with the brain and the mechanical engineer?”

Li Lin shook his head, retracted his gaze from Zero, and looked into Caitlin’s eyes.

“You have to know, even if I don’t create a race of bionic robots, as strong artificial intelligence, intelligence and mechanical engineers have intelligence and physical fitness that far exceed that of ordinary humans, will they eventually replace humans?”

“But they are controlled by you and respect you as their creator.” Caitlin defended, “Bionic robots are different. They have independent thinking like humans, so…”

She hesitated for a moment and her words were a little vague: “I’m not questioning the superiority or inferiority of us humans, but I think… this should be a consensus. Have you carefully considered the issues that should be considered?”

Caitlin looked at Li Lin seriously.

“I understand your thinking. I have discussed these issues with Zhi Nao, Professor Heimerdinger, Jess, Victor, and the professors in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities.”

Li Lin gently brushed her face and said with a smile: “Actually, we don’t need to worry too much. This new mechanical race has the same appearance as humans. We will not take the initiative to disclose their identities, at least at this stage. This way, they can interact better with humans.

“And for ordinary people, who says they can’t be as good as bionic robots?”

Li Lin raised his eyebrows at Caitlin. She suddenly understood what he meant and said with surprise: “Do you want to disclose genetic technology and strengthen everyone’s body?!”

“The current stage is just the first stage of strengthening the foundation.”

He took a deep breath and returned his gaze to Zero, who was almost finishing the test.

“The Void is coming. Although I don’t plan to let ordinary people participate in the final war, at least they will have the ability to protect themselves from a possible sudden attack by the Void at some point, so that they will not be left without any room for resistance. Become food for the void.

“Furthermore, my purpose of creating bionic robots to genetically enhance ordinary people is not just for this purpose.”

Li Lin pointed at the sky, “If we really defeated the void and have such advanced technology, why are we still limited to one planet?”

Caitlin was speechless, her eyes flashing with brilliance.

In the past, when he persuaded Piltover University professors and other families to build artificial satellites, Li Lin talked freely about his idea of ​​​​traveling the universe.

At that time, this kind of “fantasy” could only be regarded as an unrealistic “fantasy”, but when the orbiting space station in outer space was established and Caitlin visited it, and now that Li Lin mentioned it again, she suddenly realized that all of this can be realized.

Moreover, if there is no void, this dream can be realized even earlier…

Now that we have set our sights on the vast celestial universe, it is indeed a good choice to create in advance a race of bionic robots that can continuously grow in energy without traditional breeding.

Of course, Caitlin didn’t know Li Lin’s true purpose in creating them.

During a brief period of thought, the automatic sensor door of the transparent scanning laboratory opened, and Zero, Victor and Skye walked out.

At the same time, Jess and Heimerdinger, who had finished reading the data in the control room on the other side, also left the laboratory, and the five of them walked together to Li Lin not far away.

“The test results have come out, we can register identity information for No. 0!” Jess said excitedly.

Participating in the creation of a new intelligent race can be recorded in the history of Piltover. The name of the Tallis family will not only be spread throughout the world, but will also become one of the objects of praise for the bionic robot race!

Even with the achievement of Hex Flying Gate, it cannot compare with the honor brought by this move.

Although Jace doesn’t care about this false reputation, he only cares about the sense of accomplishment that scientific research brings to him.

“Thank you for giving me life, my Creator.”

Number Zero saluted Li Lin very respectfully, and then bowed to several others.

“Now we can rely on the precedent template created by Zero to build a bionic robot synthetic machinery factory!” Heimerdinger blew his thick white beard at the corner of his mouth, patted Zero’s calf with a smile, “Soon, you will I won’t worry about being alone anymore!”

“With the existence of you and the Creator, I won’t have the thought of being lonely.” Zero said politely.

“You’re really good at learning, hahaha…” Jess laughed heartily.

No. 0 raised a smile on his lips and said modestly: “I can learn by accessing the Internet, and Zhinao is a very good tutor.”

Then, Victor, who was rubbing his bare chin on the other side, suddenly realized a problem, “By the way, since you will have your own status as a free citizen soon, it’s somewhat unreasonable to call you No. 0…”

“Can’t you just keep calling me David Black? Why should you hesitate?”

“Hey, David Black is just a virtual memory we use for testing. He does not belong to No. 0. We should respect his wishes.” Victor glanced helplessly at Jace, who had no regard for the actual situation.

“I’m going to take Zero to adjust his face later. The name David Black will definitely not work.” Skye interjected from the side.

Zero turned his attention to Li Lin and saw him smiling and saying: “Don’t look at me, you are an independent individual, you can give yourself a name… Well, at least don’t have the same name as us, let us distinguish each other. As long as it’s difficult.”

He made a small joke.

“If that’s the case…” Zero frowned and lowered his head, lost in thought.

After a moment, he raised his eyes again and said, “I think, if possible, I would like to be called Alan Mathison Turing.”

…

I’ve been thinking about new books recently, and I’m very anxious. .

In view of the performance of this book, if nothing else happens, the next book will most likely be an original, steampunk double-travel novel with some mysterious elements of Cthulhu, but the editor is not very optimistic about it. .

emmm…
