Cyberpunk: 2075

With dedicated line contact, NCPD personnel arrived at the location called by Carl in just five minutes.

"The situation this time is a bit tragic." Looking at the murder scene, Andy said, "A robot entered the building to kill people in the city. If this news gets out, it will definitely cause panic among many people."

"After all, this place is the scenic area of ​​Heywood, where the company dogs often live. Those guys who are used to being aloof don't want to see that they have finally finished working overtime and are about to go home, only to be stabbed directly from behind by a robot. His body was smashed and smashed into a pulp."

Karl crossed his hands, crossed his chest in front of him, and made a gesture similar to that of a mummy being placed in a coffin. The tips of his palms were close to his shoulders. Andy didn't quite understand this action, so Andy Asking: "What are you doing, Karl?"

"I'm relaxing my arms, and then I'm calculating the ratio of the height of the robot I brought down to my arms."

As Karl spoke, he let go of his hands, moving them left and right. Then he moved his head left and right and visually measured his arm span. Then, as if he had discovered something, he spoke slightly strangely: " It’s actually right.”

"What's right?"

"The wingspan matches the height."

Karl explained:

"Normally standing with the upper limbs stretched flat to both sides, the distance between the two fingertips is generally called the arm span, and the arm span and height of the human body are often in a 1:1 relationship. Although there may be some differences, it will not There are many differences. For example, Andy, your height is 1.82 meters, then your arm span is often around this range. And you know, after I tested the ratio of the arm span of this robot to its height, you know this What is the data?

"How many?"

"One to one, perfect proportions, just like the most standard human body."

Based on his own visual inspection of the arm length, Carl compared the robot's data on himself and concluded that the robot's arm and body ratio were even more perfect than his body, truly one-to-one.

"The most standard human body proportions...:" Andy understood what Carl meant.

The existence of robots, due to its functions and characteristics, does not insist on completely imitating the human body.

Their existence is essentially an imitation of the human form, but they don’t have to be limited to replicating every detail of the human body. In fact, they can be designed to surpass humans.

We all know that certain parts of the human body are very fragile, such as the spine.

Once the human spine is broken or compressed, it is easy to endanger life, while robots can avoid such weaknesses. They can be designed to be stronger and more durable. However, the robot Carl and the others are facing now is unexpectedly perfect. Made to human proportions.

In other words, if it were not for its mechanical materials and other factors, this robot with perfect body proportions and a prosthetic body would be a more standard "human" than Carl and Andy.

"This sounds like it reminds me of a story I read when I was a kid."

Andy thought about the past, thinking about the time when his sister was still with him listening to stories, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he still continued to finish the words: "The story I saw at that time was that with the transformation of machinery, people are becoming more and more... Unlike humans, they are becoming more and more cold and indifferent, but robots are becoming more and more like humans because they imitate humans, and understand human rationality more and more. Finally, after awakening intelligence, they replaced humans and became the 'new human beings.' story. "

"People are not humans, but machines are humans?"

“At that time, after reading this story, I still doubted and feared for a while whether the people I met on the road were robots in disguise.

When will they come over and replace me as a real human being? Look at this situation now... .”

Andy looked at the robot that had to be 'arrested' by the NCPD according to the rules and said: "The story has become a reality. "

"It's a pity that this is not my favorite fairy tale. It is even a somewhat cold and terrifying prediction of the possible future."

Thinking about the wandering Al that he had seen that was indeed similar to humans, and then thinking about the cyberpsychosis that became increasingly crazier as it was transformed, Carl couldn't say what the future of the world might be like, but this kind of reverie about possible things, to That's enough here.

Regardless of the purpose of the person who created this "human" robot, or "human", it is definitely impossible to investigate clearly in a short time based on the current situation. Karl is still on the bodyguard mission, and it is time to go back.

After Nobu Arasaka confirmed that the identity of the deceased was the person he was scheduled to meet, he was escorted away by V and others before the NCPD personnel arrived. Only Carl stayed where he was as the reporter in accordance with the rules until now, and After that, according to the regulations, the 'criminal' will be escorted away by NCPD personnel for interrogation and investigation. He has no business here.

A robot equipped with a prosthetic body that looks more like a human than a human."

Something strange happened today.

After saying goodbye to Andy and other familiar NCPD officers, Carl left the scene of the murder.

After walking out of the building, look at the sky of Night City.

Although it was still obscured by the light, Karl always felt that today was also a good weather.

"Yeah~"

After stretching, Karl walked out of the door and walked a few steps before he realized something.

VThey took Arasakase Nobuo back to the Qianbi Building for safety reasons, so what about him?

This is the disadvantage of being too lazy to drive, but fortunately, Carl was prepared.

Carl had just ordered a package that everyone else in the team had already ordered a few days ago, so he came to try it out.

He dialed a number and the other end answered it in seconds.

Then, the AI-synthesized male voice came: "Dear Mr. Carl, the guest of the Excellence Package, do you need any service?"

"Delaman, send me a car nearby."

"Follow your instructions, Mr. Carl."

Choose Delaman, and leave your troubles at the door.

In Night City, if it comes to private car pick-up and drop-off services, there is no better car rental company than Delaman's service.

Delaman's private car service, according to Oliver and Jack, their current situation requires a car of this grade to pick them up. Now think about it, maybe it is true.

Delaman's private car drove over quickly, slowed down when it was about to arrive, and took the initiative to open the door for Carl.

Very considerate.

"Compared to robots whose appearance and structure are becoming more and more like humans, it may be more difficult for me to accept AI whose emotions and thoughts are more like humans."
