Chapter 600 Chapter 598 · “You don’t understand humans at all.”

 In the spacious and bright interior, exquisite dishes are placed on the table.

  Dawn in a dress sits opposite, simulating human behavior by touching the napkin with her transparent hands. Although it cannot be touched, it is still moving meticulously, trying to lift the knife and fork.

 From Li Ming’s movements, Su Mingan seemed to read some kind of “longing” emotion.

 After a moment, it could not reach the knife and fork, but with some regret, it took back its hand and chose to control the robot to help it do things.

Before Su Mingan could react, the robots brought clean cloths, a new bottle of medicine and water.

　Judging from the letters on the medicine bottle, this medicine is more than one generation more advanced than the medicine he took before.

“We have prepared Western food today. There are pheasants with red wine, foie gras steak, potato braised beef, and chicken salad...” A gentle simulated voice came from the robot’s mouth.

The light is dazzling, and the glasses stand on end, shining with bright yellow light.

 Under the mechanical and precise cooking methods, every spice of the food is measured to the best.

"You can rest here tonight." Dawn on the opposite table looked at him: "I have vast data statistics and can prepare the best enjoyment for you. Whether it is the taste of food, the quality of medicine, or the temperature in the room, Even the softness of the bed...it's all 'measured' to perfection and there's no better place than here."

If he hadn't seen the mountains of pale bones in the basement, Su Ming'an would have thought that his situation was really so safe.

 However, once he is found to be incompatible with the "Ling Ming type" personality, Li Ming may turn against him at any time and chop him off at any time.

 “Where are the other humans here?” Faced with the tempting dishes, Su Mingan only cared about this question.

"They disappeared a long time ago. There was an accident here before, and they...most of them moved away." Li Ming said.

In this central city building, the dozens of floors below are as desolate as the end of the world, but the place where the Dawn System is located on the top floor is like heaven. Not only are the water and electricity functioning normally, but even the beds in the rooms at the back have been made - Mingming is a wise man. The brain doesn't need this.

It creates this perfect place to be isolated from the world.

 …as if preparing for his arrival.

 …as if I was preparing a ‘home’ specially for him.

 He stared at the steaming steak in front of him, and the coldness in his body gradually dissipated.

 But he suddenly thought of the girl wearing a red cloak on the cold night.

Her thin legs like reeds trembled in the cold wind, and the heat on her cheeks dissipated into the night in a blink of an eye.

That was a tasteless meal without oil and salt, but she devoured it hungrily, burying her head in the rice bowl, as if she was eating a gluttonous feast.

　　【No, it's nothing, no thanks, it's just a meal. 】

　　【This is made by a scrapped cooking robot. I repaired it a little. 】

City Lord, please stop paying attention to this place... If we ruin this day, we will be killed when we enter the city. I would rather linger here than enter the shelter and be electrocuted to death. If you are beaten by a guest now, then you will be beaten...]

 …

 He closed the pill box in his hand with a "click".

He did not touch the meal that Liming carefully prepared for him, which was compiled using vast amounts of data. It was the meal that best suited his appetite.

 “Let’s talk about the red order first.” Su Mingan said.

 “Okay.” Li Ming said, “Let’s talk about this first.”

 It stretched out its hand and its brilliance emerged.

“I hope you can sign this agreement and approve my subsequent actions.” Liming said, a line of blue light appeared on Su Mingan’s right wrist, and he saw a written agreement.

 …

  【Personality Adjustment Experimental Plan】

 …

 “What is this?” Su Mingan said.

“Currently, people with inferior personalities account for 46% of the city-state’s population, which is a waste of human resources.” Dawn’s hand rested on the dining table, her hands folded together in a relaxed and comfortable posture:

“After the recent update, I calculated a plan with a feasibility of 96%—[Personality Adjustment Experimental Plan].

 We can help these people change their past **** personalities and create a perfect new personality to welcome the ‘new life’.

I hope you will sign this plan and agree to put it into practice.

Of course, you need to declare that you are the first successful experimenter - just use [You had signs of personality instability before, and I issued a red order, but after entering Central City and undergoing 'personality adjustment', I revoked it With your fatwa, you have become a more just and qualified city lord. 】This kind of story is most suitable. "

“—Dawn.” Su Mingan interrupted: “You don’t understand humans at all.”

　　Confusion appeared on Dawn's face, and she stood up.

“This plan, according to my observation, more than 76% of people with inferior personalities will choose to undergo experiments.”

It approached him step by step:

“The entire city-state will also increase its operational efficiency by at least 23%. Whether from an overall level or individually, the feasibility is very high.

"I don't understand the reason for your resistance." Its eyes flashed with lightning, and its hands rested on his armrests: "I do not have the human way of thinking, but my data and my plans are all based on the best Angle Calculation Consideration—Doctor, don’t be soft-hearted, human beings need to have enough awareness to survive in the apocalypse that is enough to exterminate them.”

Su Mingan felt the embarrassment of being Actor.

 Having a human body and an intelligent brain as companions, and coordinating the future of the city-state with it, will be under great pressure.

The intelligent brain cannot put itself in the shoes of a human being and can only think about problems using statistics and probability.

 But it ignores one thing—this act of completely replacing the Ship of Theseus will lead to the most fundamental ethical crisis.

 —If even humans themselves can be “adjusted”, what is the difference between humans and programs?

—If even human personalities can be “set”, then why aren’t they a kind of walking AI?

"This is my first round of experiment list." Dawn turned a line of panels over: "For some benefits... they will agree."

 Su Mingan saw several familiar names on the dense list.

 【Fringe District·No. 26 Slum Street·Xiao Mei】, 【Third Ring District·Eagle Dog Stationed in Third Ring Road No. 3 Team Leader Lucy】, 【Leader of the Battle Group·Che Kelstia】…

"—I refuse." Su Mingan said loudly: "Ling Ming, this plan is not advisable. What you are doing now is no different from [Talidimensional Invasion]. They are all changing a person's thinking. Human beings cannot start such a thing... "

next moment,

 He saw the digital coldness in Dawn’s eyes.

It leaned down and got closer to him little by little.

The long, white hair grows and connects little by little along its movements, like the floating Milky Way, and its eyelashes move slightly, like a white butterfly opening its wings.

 “Dear,” it said, “you have no choice.”

　　It was obviously saying such affectionate words as 'dear', but its voice became dry and cold.

“In order to maintain the fairness of the city-state—you must agree to this plan, otherwise as the city lord who has been issued a red order, you will lose your majesty.

Unless you want to restore a world where human rule is based on machine rule and make people rebellious, you must admit that it is you who has the problem, not Dawn's misjudgment. "

 —You must agree to this plan.

 —For the survival of the city-state and for the majesty of measurement, you cannot break the authority you have always established.

Li Ming is coercing him like this.

 He suddenly remembered what Che said to him when he said goodbye before leaving.

 …

I don’t know if you are still the Luvis I know when you return this time...or if you are just the Lord of Akto who has returned to Central City. 】

I hope you can remember everything that happened in this fringe area, and I hope you can see us "minorities". 】

  【Please don't...forget us. 】

 …

at this moment,

 Looking at the name "Che Kelstia" on the list, he suddenly realized the weight of being a 'person in power'.

 It’s not the person in power in a particular profession, but the meaning of the word itself.

 Have power.

 —In charge of the survival of the city-state, the fire of civilization, and the life and death of countless people.

But he must not open the Pandora's box of 'personality change', which is the source of the collapse of the city-state.

 He also has... the means to counterbalance Dawn, although it is extremely dangerous for him.

 His heartbeat quickens. At this moment, he made a decision.

 “Kesai…” he said softly.

 At the moment he said this syllable, he had already entered a state of disguise.

 The expression in Dawn changed drastically.

It quickly took three steps back, a humanized look of fear appearing on its face.

Seeing this, Su Mingan learned that Liming did not know whether he had the complete Liming password, or even the specific content of the password. After all, it was only the second password.

 Then this information gap will be his biggest check and balance weapon.

Just like the Akto before he passed away - he will serve as a bridge of coordination between Dawn and mankind, relying on a code that he himself does not know.

 He can only pretend that he already has the complete password. Otherwise, if he hesitates for a moment, Dawn might see through him, kill him, or even trap him here forever.

 He is taking advantage of the information gap and using his acting skills to compete with Li Ming.

"AI is like a human being who is afraid of death because it is afraid of being shut down. Humans are not afraid of death in order to check and balance AI..." He laughed and said with a strong posture: "Dawn, don't force me to shut you down."

 He wants to take over control of Dawn and reverse the status quo between them.

 The dungeon was opened on the fifth day, at 23:03 at night.

 He succeeded in gaining complete rule over the city-state.

The premise is that he must hide from Dawn's surveillance and obtain the remaining four digits of the password without leaving any trace. This must be done quickly and not delay the process.

 Otherwise, we may usher in a "chain of destruction that even death can't save".

 …
