<h4>Chapter 1443: Not Very Smart</h4>
“This robot... Looks very strange. (°?°)”
Inside the living room of the apartment.
Xiao Ai looked at the “Private-1” intelligent human guard lying on the floor. Xiao Ai poked its arm curiously then quickly retracted her hand.
Lu Zhou: “Strange?”
“Yeah... Its backdoor security program is strong.” The pattern in her pupils turned into frustrated emojis. Xiao Ai muttered, “I tried to hack into it and look at its underlying code. But I only saw a bunch of garbled text...”
Lu Zhou frowned.
“Even you can’t do it?”
As he was speaking, the two round pupils of the intelligent guard lying on the ground suddenly burst into a purple light.
Shocked by this scene, Xiao Ai hid behind Lu Zhou subconsciously.
The robot sat up from the ground, and after staring at Lu Zhou for a while, a cold electronic sound floated from its mouth.
“Identified.
“At your service,mander.”
The purple light gradually dimmed. The intelligent human guard sat on the ground motionlessly, as if it was asleep.
Lu Zhou, who sat down on the floor, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to lift his arm and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
However, he noticed a small hand pulling on his arm nervously.
Lu Zhou suddenly turned around and tapped Xiao Ai on the forehead.
“Ouch...” Xiao Ai covered her forehead painfully and looked at him with a grieved expression, “Master?”
Lu Zhou replied, “Don’t hide behind me whenever things happen, your master has one life, be more reliable!”
“But, Master, that guy... is really scary!”
<i>Scary?</i>
Lu Zhou nced at the “Private-1” sitting on the ground with a weird expression. He stared at it for a long time, but he didn’t feel that this thing was scary. At most, it was a bit ugly.
Lu Zhou looked back at Xiao Ai. His heart softened as he spoke with a sigh.
“Enough, stop pretending... I didn’t use any force at all. You don’t even have a nervous system. How could it be painful?”
Xiao Ai, who was holding her forehead, looked like a little girl who had been bullied.
“But... Xiao Ai made Master angry, so Master knocked on Xiao Ai... It feels... like a heartache.”
Lu Zhou: “...”
<i>What king of logic is this?</i>
Lu Zhou sighed and handed out his right hand. He pulled Xiao Ai up from the ground.
“It’s not that I’m angry...”
He didn’t understand how scary this thing was. After all, he was not an artificial intelligence, so he couldn’t put himself in the position and think from the perspective of artificial intelligence. Maybe Xiao Ai, who was an artificial intelligence, could see the horror that he was oblivious to.
After all, Xiao Ai’s reaction didn’t seem fake...
Lu Zhou went back next to the “Private-1” intelligent human guard, and after some tinkering, he was certain that this guy probably had no battery.
Lu Zhou searched for a long time but couldn’t find the charging cable and the charging port. He estimated that the device should be wirelessly charged, so he opened the online shopping tform through his personal terminal and ordered a high-power wireless charger for charging maglev cars from the equipment manufacturer in this city.
After two hours, the things he ordered were delivered to his door by a bionic man in the uniform of a courier.
He was surprised at the efficiency of logistics in this era, but it was obviously not the time to care about these minor issues.
Using the instructions on the manual, Lu Zhou put the charger in the corner of the living room, then plugged the connector directly into the socket.
Lu Zhou was about to drag the intelligent human guard over and charge it. However, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Ai, who was standing by and was ready to help. He asked Xiao Ai, “Speaking of which, I have something to ask you.”
“Yeah? Master, go ahead. (??????)??”
“Wait a second...”
Lu Zhou turned to go to the closet. He pulled out a ck metal cube from his suitcase and took it back to the living room.
The moment Xiao Ai saw this ck metal cube, her eyes lit up, and she spoke excitedly.
“Master brought it back! (〃?〃)”
“Yeah... I heard that the memory card of the robot was near the chest, so I fumbled around and found this thing.”
“Huh? Chest??”
Lu Zhou: “...?”
“Nothing. This ck cube is a robot memory card. It integrates a memory unit and a multi-core processor, which can support a limited degree of intelligent algorithms.”
Lu Zhou: “The subroutine was created by you?”
Xiao Ai: “Kind of. After all, Mars is too far away, and themunication dy is too big. If every action has a dy of several minutes, there is no way to control it in real-time, so Xiao Ai designed a simple smart memory, then secretly sold it to the bad guys who wanted to go to Mars. ?(????)”
<i>No wonder!</i>
However, Lu Zhou still didn’t quite understand how to distinguish between different types of artificial intelligence.
<i>Through a unique identification code?</i>
<i>Or something else.</i>
Lu Zhou nced at the ck cube in his hand. He then nced at the intelligent human guard on the ground and spoke.
“Xiao Ai.”
“Huh? 0.0”
“If you are asked to change your body, would you like to change to a more powerful one? For example, this one on the ground.”
Xiao Ai: “Huh? Can’t Xiao Ai have all the bodies? (?????)”
Lu Zhou: “...”
Xiao Ai immediately pretended that nothing happened and changed her words.
“Xiao Ai will keep this body. This ck thing is too ugly. Earth is still very safe.”
“Okay then.”
Lu Zhou didn’t say much. He reached out his hand and fumbled on the intelligent human guard, then pressed a certain switch.
An orange-yellow metal sphere about the size of a fist slowly lifted out from the left chest of the intelligent human guard.
“Kill Core...”
“Huh? 0.0”
“Nothing... ” Lu Zhou looked at the system pop-up window that disappeared in front of him and frowned.
His intuition told him that the thing in his hand at this moment should be the memory of this intelligent human guard: the artificial intelligence designed for war purposes.
His instinct also told him that every part of this thing exuded a dangerous atmosphere, especially against human civilization.
“The difference between the interfaces is so big...” Lu Zhou put the dangerous metal ball aside carefully. He held the ck cube against the chest of the intelligent human guard for a while. Then, he looked at Xiao Ai and asked, “Is there a way to rece the memory card?”
“Huh? Does Master want to change it?”
“Yeah.” Lu Zhou nodded and looked at the ck cube in his hand. He said, “I promised it a new body.”
Although he was probably the only one who heard that, he still wanted to fulfill his promise.
Xiao Ai replied, “It’s not very troublesome in theory. Just copy the memory software and redesign a carrier with a suitable size for it! (??????)??”
Lu Zhou said, “Can it be done?”
<i>This thing is a piece of high-tech item from the Cn Empire. Is it really that simple?</i>
Xiao Ai: “Don’t worry, Master, Xiao Ai will handle it! (??????)??”
Lu Zhou thought that this would be troublesome. He didn’t expect things to be far simpler than he had thought.
Through an industrial scanner worth 20,000 credits and an experimental 3D printer from Dongya Heavy Industries that cost 50,000 credits, Xiao Ai only took half a day to design a memory interface that was almost identical to the yellow metal ball.
The rest was much easier. Through a personal terminal, Xiao Ai transferred the memory software to the carrier, then ced the synthesized memory into the “Private-1” intelligent human guard’s chest.
When the purple pupils lit up, Xiao Ai was not scared this time, and a cheeky smile appeared on her face.
“Hehe... feels like Xiao Ai and Master had a child.”
Lu Zhou ignored Xiao Ai and looked at the intelligent guard who sat up from the ground with a nk face.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
“You don’t have a name yet.
“I’ll call you number zero... No, let me think about it.”
It always felt too casual to use numbers as names.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou thought of a more suitable name.
“Starting from today...
“Your name will be Ling, okay?”
The purple pupils flickered slightly, exuding a sense of security.
It seemed that it recognized the name. It ced its right hand on its chest and answered in a respectful voice, “Yes, Commander.
“Artificial intelligence ‘Ling Okay’ is at your service.”
Lu Zhou: “...?”
