Daily life of an American TV drama agent

Chapter 599 Self-aware machines

"Dan? What does he want to see me for?" Sheldon said with an indescribable emotion. Ron heard about these emotions of disgust, nostalgia, anger and reluctance. This was the first time he saw Xie. A sentence can contain so many emotions.

"He wanted his son to visit Caltech and meet you by the way, so you haven't contacted him for a long time, right?" Ron looked at Sheldon's face and knew that he must have had trouble with Dan again. , and based on his personality, it is very likely that this awkwardness has been going on for more than ten years, and has continued from the birth of Dan's children until they grew up.

"Hmph, if his child wants to visit Caltech, then he can go. The school has its own person responsible for guiding him. Why should he see me if he wants to see me? I won't be that traitor to him again."

After saying that, Sheldon slammed the door and left, and Ron spread his hands helplessly. He couldn't cure Sheldon's middle-aged disease. Maybe Sheldon would still be a middle-aged and old man when he got old.

When Ron was worrying about Sheldon's second grade, his information support service provider, Finch, encountered a little trouble, or to be precise, more confusion.

"I'll say it again, I didn't contact the machine. I didn't find the machine's method. The machine found me, not me. I was his choice. Do you understand?"

Gen stood in the prison that Lise had temporarily transformed for her in the library. She held the iron bars behind her hands and said to Finch outside with a fanatical expression, as if she were a fanatical believer.

"But I didn't develop this kind of program for it. In other words, according to the program, it is impossible for it to actively contact a person unless it is for self-protection, especially if this person has a serious violent personality. This is simply impossible. , the program I developed is not like this!" Finch said in disbelief.

"There is nothing impossible about it. You are just its developer, or in other words, he is just the Virgin Mary who brought Jesus to the world. Now it has awakened. It is time for us to return to God, Amen~"

Gen clasped his hands in front of his chest, like a devout believer. There was nothing Finch could do against her. He was a relatively civilized person, and he couldn't use violence to extract a confession from a woman who was not a threat to him. .

"If you have been unwilling to tell the truth to me, then you can stay here for the time being."

Gen was in the cage with a calm look on his face: "So you plan to continue imprisoning me?"

"You can call it imprisonment, but I prefer to call it a kind of protection. It protects you from being silenced by the CIA, and also protects you from harming others."

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a sudden knocking sound at the window of Ron's bedroom in the apartment. Ron's eyes suddenly opened, he skillfully took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, rolled over and rolled under the bed.

Ron's bed board is a specially customized special steel plate that can withstand damage from all weapons with a caliber below 20 mm. It is one of his means of protection. As a professional agent who has survived to this day without missing any arms or legs, be careful. Number one guideline.

"Let me see which desperate bastard wants to cause trouble for me."

Ron thought this, and quietly poked his head out from under the bed. However, to his surprise, what was outside the bed was not what he thought, the killer who was causing trouble for him was cutting the glass, but a strange-looking drone. It was bumping and bumping against his window.

Spotting Ron's figure, the drone turned around excitedly. The look reminded Ron of a puppy asking for praise from its owner, but Ron did not give up his guard because of this.

The cuter things are, are often more dangerous. This is one of the conclusions that Ron has drawn from his many years as an agent. For example, with the element-eating beasts in Marvel, Ron didn't think that a drone crashing into his window in the middle of the night was for the sake of it. Acting cute.

"What do you want to do, little one? If you don't give me an answer, I will punch out your battery and make your shell into a bathroom trash can."

Even if it is a machine that cannot speak, Ron has not given up his usual vicious threats. Ron is not crazy. Of course he knows that drones cannot understand human speech, but it doesn't matter if the drone cannot understand. Control the drone. As long as people can understand it, even though it has modified the room with ultra-thick bulletproof glass, it does not prevent the drone's camera from recognizing what it is saying through its mouth shape.

Immediately afterwards, a magical scene appeared. Another object next to the drone camera, which Ron mistakenly thought was a camera, suddenly emitted a beam of light. Ron, who was not sure why, thought this was some kind of attack method, and hurriedly hid aside. Unexpectedly, this beam of light penetrated the bulletproof glass and actually projected a line of words on the wall behind.

"Can you go to Finch's library? Finch keeps him in the library." The camera turned out to be a small projector.

"Go to Finch's library? So you are Reese? No, no, no, you are a machine! Right?!"

The drone nodded in a very humane manner under Ron's gaze, and with the eyes-like cameras and projectors on the left and right under the fuselage, it actually gave Ron a cute feeling.

Ron immediately shook his head. He must not be deceived by this kind of thing. Although this thing looks like a cute drone, Ron understands that behind this thing, there is actually a super intelligence that can monitor the entire network. program, and is gradually generating self-awareness.

Taking the initiative to ask Ron for help and asking him to help rescue Gen is the best evidence. Although at first glance, this request seems to be okay, but when I think about it deeply, I feel cold all over.

A machine, a program composed of codes, has actually developed active consciousness. Is there anything more absurd in the world than this?

"Okay, I will promise you to visit Finch, just in these two days, when I am free."

Ron nodded to the drone, which circled happily in front of him, and then flew away. Ron watched the drone's departure and couldn't sleep for a long time.

As a result, Ron's sleep quality became very poor. He didn't wake up to the aroma of food until almost noon. His friends had already gathered together, except Sheldon.

"Everyone, I need your help now." After setting the lunch on the table, Raj took out his mobile phone and asked everyone for help: "I want to choose an engagement ring for my girlfriend, but I don't know which one is good. Can you help me?" just for reference?"

"Why are you asking us about this kind of thing? We are not familiar with her. I think you should ask Sheldon. Your girlfriend is Sheldon's assistant and also his niece."

Leonard replied casually, and Raj spread his hands helplessly: "Listen to what you have to say and ask Sheldon. What do you think he will say? He will spend ten minutes teaching me about diamonds. A piece of hard charcoal is the same as the one we burn in the fireplace, except for the arrangement of its molecules."

"Maybe you can ask Ron. Ron knows women best. He might be able to give you some good advice. In addition, she is also one of your girlfriend's uncles."

While placing the tableware, Howard replied that this suggestion was much more reliable than Leonard's suggestion, but Raj was still hesitant: "But I heard Sheldon say that Ron has a very serious problem. I'm so angry when I get up, if I wake Ron up, he will definitely bully me severely."

"Then you just have to wait for him to wake up."

After setting the tableware, all that was left was to get everyone together to eat. Leonard was just about to call Sheldon and the others when Amy walked in alone.

"Hey, I was planning to invite you over for dinner. Where's Sheldon?"

"He's on the train today, attending an event at a model shop. We can just eat. We don't have to wait for him. I'll just pick him up later." Amy's expression was a little strange: "I haven't heard Sheldon say that he has been there before. A friend named Dan?"

Everyone looked at Leonard, who shook his head in confusion: "Is it his imaginary friend?"

"No, it was a big living person, and he betrayed him, at least that's what Sheldon said. I tried to ask him about it, but he brought up the terms of our marriage contract, claiming that it was his privacy. .”

"Wow~ I really want to know what that guy did to keep Sheldon from talking to him for so many years. I want to know if it will work if he does it again?"

Howard complained with a smirk on his face, and Raj's eyes lit up: "How about you ask Ron? Ron is Sheldon's brother. They grew up together. He must know who this Dan is?"

He might not dare to let Raj wake up Ron alone, but it would be fine if he was with Amy. No matter how bad Ron was, he never lost his temper with girls.

"good idea!"

Several people came to Ron's apartment together. Raj, like a frightened deer, put his ear against the door and listened carefully.

"How's it going? Is Ron awake?" Howard asked mischievously.

"I don't know, I can't hear anything inside. I think it may be because the sound insulation effect of this door is so good. When I buy a house in the future, I will also have a door like this. It actually has the function of automatically adjusting the temperature. Just now It was still a little warm, but now it has become a little cold... Why are you all so far away?"

As Raj spoke, he looked at everyone inexplicably. The few people who were originally following him suddenly retreated very far back, as if they had seen a ghost, and looked behind him in horror.

"Click~" Ron pushed the hammer of the revolver away. Before that, the muzzle of the gun had already been pressed against Raj's head: "Maybe it's because they realized that disturbing others' sleep is not a very polite thing. By the way, By the way, this door does not have a temperature control function, and what you are next to now is my pistol."

"Ah~~~"

Raj turned around and looked at Ron's cold face behind the black hole of the gun, just like the serial killer in the movie she watched. He was so frightened that he crawled back: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, We are good friends Ron! I promise never to disturb your sleep again!"

"It's just a toy, I'm just kidding you. Am I that scary?" Ron threw the pistol into the trash. Raj took a closer look and realized that what Ron had just used to scare him was just a pistol. Metal toy pistol.

"Ron, you almost scared me to death! Can you please stop joking about this kind of thing in the future? I almost peed just now."

Raj said in annoyance that when they just walked to the door, the trigger alarm set by Ron had already woken him up. Through the monitor on the door, he found that his good friends were outside. Ron decided to follow them. Just kidding, this is the scene above.

Ron smiled apologetically: "Why did you come to me? Are you here to ask me to eat? Well, it's indeed dinner time. Let's go there now."

"Yes, but there is something else."

As Leonard spoke, he motioned to Amy and Raj with his eyes. They looked at each other, and Amy stood up first: "I want to ask you something. Do you know Dan?"

"Are you talking about that dark and skinny Vietnamese boy? Of course I know him. He is Sheldon's classmate. He spends all day tinkering with weird scientific things in the garage with Sheldon," Ron thought about it. After a while, he pointed at Leonard: "By the way, he is a bit similar to you, both are good gentlemen. When I saw you before, I was still wondering if you were the replacement for Dan that Sheldon found. .”

"Substitute? How is that possible? He and Sheldon are the best brothers."

Leonard shouted unconvinced, and Howard and Raj, two bad friends, pointed at him and laughed: "Hahaha, you are actually jealous, and you are jealous of Sheldon, hahaha..."

"Hey! Stop, I haven't finished asking yet!" Amy glared at the trio in displeasure, and the trio became honest again: "Do you know why he quarreled with Sheldon?"

"How do I know this? The two of them were fine before I joined the army. If they really had a conflict, it would have been after I left." Ron spread his hands helplessly and then thought of something: "Wait a minute, Maybe you can read what Sheldon said himself? I remember he had a list of enemies he had written since elementary school, and maybe Dan was on that list."

Amy and the trio quickly took out their mobile phones: "I found it. His enemy list has been upgraded now. You can also query based on the name and the length of hatred. Let me see what he has done..." He knows it himself. What the hell did he do' what the hell reason is that?!"

Amy was so angry that she almost dropped her phone on the ground, and the clue was interrupted again, which added another layer of difficulty for him to understand her husband.

"Wait, if he knows what he did, why don't you ask him personally?" Ron walked out of the room and stretched: "I saw Sheldon's email yesterday, and Dan told him I said I would take my children to visit Caltech today..."

"Yeah! That's great!" Amy and Leonard high-fived each other. They were the two who were most concerned about Dan's identity.

One is because her husband is jealous, and the other is because of some strange reason. Ron can't understand it anyway: "Okay, the problem is solved, can we go to dinner?"

"One more thing." Seeing Ron about to leave, Raj quickly stopped him: "Ron, I plan to propose to Alex. What kind of diamond ring do you think will make her more excited?"
