As a Mecha, I Can Evolve Unlimitedly

"I'm Xingtian." Yu Xiao didn't hesitate at all.

"Who are you?" Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes.

"I am Xing Tian." Yu Xiao answered at exactly the same speed as the first time.

"Who are you?" Yuan Zhen suddenly slapped the table and stood up, questioning Xing Tian in a voice that was almost roaring.

Everyone present was startled by Yuan Zhen's sudden action. They didn't understand why Yuan Zhen suddenly got angry.

"I'm Xingtian." Yu Xiao still repeated the same answer in the same tone, with the same reply speed.

The huge conference hall fell into deathly silence under the confrontation between one person and one machine.

During this silent confrontation, Xingtian's body never moved.

Half a minute later, Yuan Zhen took a long breath, put on his relaxed and carefree face again, and fell into the seat.

And where Yuan Zhen couldn't see it, Yu Xiao herself "breathed a sigh of relief" silently.

As he expected, this had turned into an interrogation.

Yu Xiao's goal is very clear. He wants the alliance to define itself as an "individual who can think independently but is not complete" during this meeting.

The reason why it is defined like this is to allow them to regard Xingtian as a being that can talk to humans on an equal footing, but not to make them feel that Xingtian is beyond human control and is a potential threat.

However, Yu Xiao has another consideration, that is, he suspects that Omega is developing a machine-soul-like technology. Once Yu Xiao exposes the fact that he is no different from humans, Xing Tian will most likely be forcibly abducted by Omega. .

It is very simple to prove that Xing Tian can think independently. Yu Xiao is a human being. This is a natural thing.

But it is somewhat difficult to prove that Xingtian is not a complete individual.

Because the biggest difference between artificial intelligence and humans is not intelligence, or even independent thinking—it’s emotion.

The reason why machinery makes people feel cold is that it cannot empathize with human emotions, and therefore cannot truly establish a so-called "connection" with human beings.

Yu Xiao had to admire Yuan Zhen's meticulous thinking as the founder of Omega.

When the two met for the first time, Yuan Zhen used a joke to test Xing Tian's understanding of human social relationships - whether it is family, love, or friendship, these relationships are all based on emotion.

If he is unable to perceive emotions, then Xingtian cannot be regarded as a "complete independent individual" in the eyes of humans. Of course, the standard for this independent individual is based on humans as a reference template.

And in the seemingly absurd question and answer just now, Yuan Zhen still followed this basic logic to test Yu Xiao.

People have feelings, but machines only follow logic.

"Who are you?" is a simple question that both humans and machines can answer.

But when this simple question is repeated two or three times, or even expressed in different tones, the gap between humans and machines will be reflected.

Humans subconsciously look for abnormalities - why does she ask me so many times, did I answer wrong or did she not hear clearly, why is she angry, is she questioning me?

As a result, people's answers may change in terms of words, tone, speaking speed, expressions and movements.

For example: "I am Xing Tian?" "Are you deaf? I! Yes! Xing! Tian!"

But for the machine, no matter what the tone and demeanor of the questioner are, as long as the question is logical, the machine will only give the exact same answer according to a fixed format and without any emotion.

Of course, except for those "pseudo-intellectual" systems designed to be bionic.

"Forgive me for being rude just now." Yuan Zhen returned to his usual casual demeanor, "Can you introduce yourself?"

"My name is Xingtian, number T-001, mecha model: first-generation nuclear-powered armor, affiliated to the Black Sky Legion of the Watcher Alliance, date of manufacture: March 14, Apocalypse 1, driver: Bai Ying." Yu Xiao gave a standard system reply.

"Then do you know where your consciousness was born?" Yuan Zhen changed his mind.

"My consciousness was born in the 'Lianshan' system." Yu Xiao said the first answer he had prepared.

Although Xingtian, as the first-generation mecha, is not equipped with an intelligent system, there is still a basic operating system.

If a machine develops self-awareness, then it is most logical to say that it evolved from the system.

Hearing Xing Tian's reply, most of the people present showed an expected expression, and even Yuan Zhen also smiled.

So for Yu Xiao, the most troublesome problem has been solved.

But he was wrong.

"You're lying." Yuan Zhen said to Xing Tian with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the originally relaxed atmosphere immediately became tense!

"I didn't lie." Yu Xiao suppressed the horror in her heart and retorted in a calm tone.

"I am your designer. Ninety percent of the code of the 'Lianshan' system was written by me personally, and the remaining ten percent was written by watching others write it." Yuan Zhen's sky-blue His eyes seemed to see through Xing Tian, ​​"In order to reduce the mental burden on the driver and the mecha during neural synchronization, I deliberately optimized all the self-running codes in 'Lian Shan' to the simplest way, making it the one that takes up the least resources. , the most responsive operating system.”

"Therefore, the 'Lianshan' system has no possibility of self-evolution. It is a pure operating system and cannot even run the automatic driving function."

Yu Xiao's heart sank.

Although most of the people present do not quite understand the principles behind Yuan Zhen's words, this does not prevent them from unconditionally believing in the conclusions reached by Yuan Zhen, a "walking authority."

At this moment, all eyes and pressure came to Xingtian.

That kind of gaze is no longer curiosity and expectation, but caution and vigilance, as if people have determined that there is an evil soul hiding in Xingtian's mecha!

An uncontrollable impulse arose in Yu Xiao's heart and gradually spread into his thinking.

Now he really wants to split the hangar open with an ax, then walk to the Chenxi Building with the big ax and give everyone a big middle finger!

I’m not pretending anymore, I’m showing my cards, I’m just going to travel into a mecha and you can do whatever you want with me, either we’ll be brothers and kill the monsters together, or I’ll kill you and the monsters together!

But in the end, Yu Xiao shook the idea out of her mind.

This kind of self-destruction will do him no good in a turbulent world.

So he could only come up with the second set of answers he had prepared.

"I did not evolve from the system."
