Chapter 601 Chapter 598 · "You don't understand humans at all."

   Spacious and bright interior with exquisite dishes on the table.

   Dawn in a dress sits opposite, simulating human behavior, touching a napkin with a transparent hand.

  Although it can't be touched, it is still meticulously making movements, trying to raise the knife and fork.

   From Dawn's actions, Su Ming'an seemed to read some kind of "longing" emotion.

   After a while, it was unable to touch the knife and fork and withdrew its hand regretfully, and chose to control the robot to help it do things.

   Before Su Mingan could react, the gang of robots came together, brought clean towels, and put on a new bottle of medicine and water.

   Judging from the letters on the medicine bottle, this medicine was more than a generation advanced than what he had taken before.

   "I prepared western food today. There are red wine pheasant, foie gras steak, beef stew with potatoes, chicken salad..." A gentle simulated voice came from the robot's mouth.

  The lights are dazzling, and the glasses stand, shining bright yellow lights.

  Under the mechanical precision cooking method, every seasoning of the food is measured to the best.

"You can rest here tonight." Dawn over the table watched him: "I have vast statistics and can prepare the best enjoyment for you. Whether it is the taste of the food, the quality of the medicine, the temperature of the room, Even the softness of the bed...is the best value for 'measurement' and nowhere is it better."

   As if he hadn't seen the mountain of pale bones in the basement, Su Mingan would have thought that his situation was really that safe.

   However, Dawn can turn his face at any time once he is tested as not conforming to the "Dawn type" personality.

   "What about the other humans here?" In the face of tempting dishes, Su Mingan only thought about this question.

   "They were gone a long time ago. There was an accident here before, and they... mostly moved away," Dawn said.

In this central city building, the dozens of floors below are as desolate as doomsday, but the place where the Dawn system on the top floor is located is like a paradise. Not only the water and electricity are running normally, but even the rooms at the inner end have been made up. The brain doesn't need these.

   It creates the perfect place for seclusion.

  …As if preparing for his arrival.

  ...It's like making a special trip to prepare a 'home' for him.

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

   But he suddenly thought of the girl in the red cape in the cold night.

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

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

  【No, nothing, no thanks, just a meal. 】

  【This is what I picked up in the junkyard, made by a scrapped cooking robot, and I repaired it a little. 】

   [City Lord, please stop paying attention to this side... If even such a day is ruined, we will be killed when we enter the city. I would rather live here than go into the shelter and be electrocuted to death. If you are beaten by a guest now, you will be beaten...]

  …

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

   Dawn carefully prepared a meal for him, which was assembled with vast data, and he did not touch it.

   "Let's talk about the red order first." Su Ming'an said.

   "Okay." Dawn said, "Let's talk about this first."

   It stretched out its hand, and radiance emerged.

   "I hope you can sign this agreement and acknowledge my follow-up actions." Liming said, a line of blue light appeared on Su Ming'an's right wrist, and he saw a text agreement.

  …

  【Personality Adjustment Experiment Plan】

  …

   "What is this?" Su Mingan said.

   "Currently, people with inferior personalities account for 46% of the population of the city-state, which is a waste of human resources." Dawn's hands were placed on the dining table, his hands were folded, and his posture was relaxed and comfortable:

   "After the latest update, I have calculated a plan that is 96% feasible - [Personality Adjustment Experiment Plan].

  We can help these people change their past trashy characters, create a perfect new personality, and welcome the 'new life'.

   I want you to 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 unstable personality before, and I gave a red order, but after entering Central City and after 'personality adjustment', I canceled it For your pursuit order, you have become a more just and qualified city lord. ] This kind of story is most appropriate. "

   "—Dawn." Su Mingan interrupted it: "You don't understand humans at all."

  Dawn got up with confusion on his face.

   "In this project, according to my observation, more than 76% of the inferior personality will choose to accept the experiment."

   It approached him step by step:

   "The entire city-state will also increase the operational efficiency by at least 23%. The feasibility is very high both at the overall level and individually.

"I don't understand your reason for resisting." Its eyes flashed through the electric light, and its hands rested on his armrest: "I really don't have a human way of thinking, but my data and my plan are from the best Angle calculation considerations - Doctor, don't be soft-hearted, human beings need to have enough consciousness to survive in the end times that are enough to wipe them out."

  Su Mingan felt the embarrassment of being Akto.

   With the human body and brain as companions, and coordinating the future of the city-state with it, it will bear great pressure.

  Intellectual brain cannot put itself in the position of human beings, it can only think about problems with statistics and probability.

   But it ignores one thing - this kind of behavior like completely replacing the ship of Theseus will lead to the most fundamental ethical crisis.

  —If even people themselves can be "adjusted", what's the difference between humans and programs?

  —If even human characters can be "set", then why aren't they a walking AI?

   "This is my first round of experiment list." Dawn transferred a row of panels: "For some benefit...they will agree."

   On the dense list, Su Mingan saw several familiar names.

  【Edge District·No. 26 Slum Street·Xiaomei】,【Sanhuan District·Eagle Dog Station No.3 Squad Leader·Lucy】, 【Battle Leader·Che Kelstia】…

"—I refuse." He said loudly: "Dawn, this plan is not advisable. What you are doing now is no different from [Hewei Invasion], you are changing a person's thinking. Humans can't open such a head... "

next moment,

   He saw the coldness of the data in Dawn's eyes.

   It leaned down and approached him little by little.

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

   "Honey." It said: "You have no choice."

  It was clearly saying the words like '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 you will lose your prestige as the city lord who has been issued a red order.

  Unless you want to restore the world where the rule of man is based on the rule of machinery, and make people rebel, you must admit that you are the problem, not the dawn of a misjudgment. "

  —You must agree to the plan.

  —For the survival of the city-state, for the majesty of measurement, you cannot break the authority you have been shaping.

   Dawn was coercing him like this.

   He suddenly remembered what Che had said to him before leaving.

  …

  【I don’t know if you went back this time, it’s still the Lewis I know…or just, the Lord Akto who returned to Central City. 】

  【I hope you can remember everything that happened in this fringe area, I hope you... can see us 'few people'. 】

  【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 'in power'.

   is not the person in power in a special profession, but the meaning of the word itself.

   in power.

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

   But he absolutely cannot open the Pandora's Box of 'personality change', which is the root cause of the collapse of the city-state.

   He also has... a means to check Dawn, albeit dangerous to him.

   His heart beat faster. At this moment, he made a decision.

   "Case..." he said softly.

   The moment he uttered this syllable, he had fully entered a state of disguise.

   Dawn's expression changed dramatically.

  It took three steps back in a hurry, and a humanized horror appeared on its face.

   Seeing this, Su Mingan learned that Dawn did not know whether he had the complete Dawn password, or even the specific content of the password. Then this poor information will be his greatest check and balance weapon.

   Just like the Akto before he passed away - he wants to act as a bridge between dawn and humanity, relying on a code that he himself does not know.

   He can only pretend that he already has the full password. Otherwise, with a little hesitation, Dawn might see through him, kill him, or even trap him here forever.

   He is using poor information to bet against Dawn with his acting skills.

   "AI is like a human 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 took a tough posture: "Dawn, don't force me to shut you down."

   He is going to take control of Dawn and reverse the status between them.

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

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

   The premise is that he must hide from Dawn's surveillance and obtain the remaining four-digit password without a trace. This speed must be fast, and the process cannot be prolonged.

  Otherwise, it may usher in [a chain of destruction that cannot be saved even by a death rollback].

  …
