the end of the heavens

"Finally, good luck to you!"

"Thank you!"

Russell opened the door and left the office to go to the first floor. The space of more than 500 square meters was filled with desks. Most of the police officers were out on duty, and only a small number of them were working.

Russell took out the number on the carton, found his desk, tidied up briefly, and nodded with a few curious people at the same time, and went to the parking lot after getting acquainted.

Looking at the police cars in the basement, he felt a little bit difficult. He pressed the start switch to find his own car, but soon he realized a new problem.

"Where do I live?"

What Russell is most satisfied with about the system is that every time he goes to a mission world, he will arrange a legal identity.But the system is not done well enough, he has no memory about the new world, and it is very troublesome to substitute his identity.

"Hello, officer, what can I do for you?"

Russell stood in front of the police car in trouble. A robot walked out of the corner and came to him and asked politely.

Chapter 141 Rules Are Made To Be Breaked

The talking robot is about 1 meters tall, and Russell’s shoes are only slightly taller than it. Its appearance is similar to that of a human body. Because it has no armor, it looks like its limbs are slender, and its overall body is rather weak. illusion.

The abbreviation of the Chicago Police Department and the number 03 are written on the chest and forehead of the robot. Its duty is to guard the parking lot. In order to stand out and be seen at a glance, the torso is specially sprayed with light blue fluorescent paint.

Russell stared blankly at the robot. The overall image of the latter was very familiar, but he was not sure which movie he had seen this robot in.

"Hello, police officer, can I help you?" Its facial features have been fixed since the day it left the factory, and even though the words are cadenced, it still inevitably gives people a rigid feeling.

"Yes, do you know where my home is?"

robot"……"

Russell shrugged, opened the car door and got in, and was taken aback after getting in the car.

Before getting into the car, he noticed some abnormalities. The front and rear four rubber tires were replaced with spherical rolling wheels. Considering that he didn't say anything in 2035, the layout of the car still made him at a loss.

There is no clutch, which can be understood as an automatic transmission, but there is neither a steering wheel, a shift lever, nor a brake and accelerator pedal in the driver's seat. Who can tell him how to drive this car?

"Hey, who is that? Yes, it's you, stop pointing, come here quickly."

Russell waved to the robot, which quickly walked to the window.

"Hello, officer, what can I do for you?" the robot asked again, in the same opening dialogue, its very rigid programming.

"Get on the co-pilot and help me see if there is something wrong with this car. I can't start it."

"Okay, officer."

The robot opened the front cover of the car, checked it as quickly as possible, then sat on the co-pilot, and pressed the start button to check it again.

"Officer, there is nothing wrong with your vehicle. If you feel something is wrong, I can help you contact the tow truck of the auto repair shop."

"Uh, who..."

"Officer, I'm a robot ns4, you can call me 'Number 03', this is my file number with the Chicago Police Department, and my identity is a parking lot attendant."

Russell nodded, "Okay! Then number 03, tell me how to drive this car, and where can I get a new driver's license if I can't find it?"

The expression of the robot number 03 remains unchanged, "Officer, you input the destination into the computer, and the vehicle will be controlled by the computer to drive automatically without manual operation. In addition, the driver's license was canceled ten years ago, and there is no address to reissue."

Russell nodded without changing his expression, "I know, just talk about it to tease you!"

"Thank you, I'm honored."

Has your driver's license been revoked?

Russell was very surprised. He always thought that even if the US emperor disintegrated, the driver's license would not be cancelled.But it’s also true to think about it. A car that doesn’t need to be driven manually is equivalent to an automatically moving elevator, or the kind with a sofa seat that can sleep. The driver’s license loses its meaning, and a social security card is enough for identification.

Thinking about it this way, Russell flipped through the carton again, and found his entry information from inside. There was a column on it filled with his current residential address.

Russell turned on the computer, entered the address, and was not in a hurry to leave. It is rare to have a rigid program that can be used for clichés. Naturally, he wanted to ask for more useful information.

"Number 03, let me test you with a few questions to test whether you are qualified as a parking lot attendant."

"Okay, officer, you can come up with any questions you want. I have answers in my database for questions about cars." Number 03 is very confident about this. Of course, his confidence is also programmed.

Half an hour later, Russell got out all the brands of daily-use lubricating oil numbered 03. The latter knew almost everything, and faced Russell's questions, as long as it existed in the database, he would say nothing.

Russell put his arms around his shoulders, and through the conversation with No. 03, he roughly understood the overall world view of the world, and at the same time had some guesses about where he was.

In 2035, this is the age of machines!

Not only does it refer to the highly developed mechanized mass production, but the full sense of technology has entered ordinary households. From daily necessities to home appliances, intelligent robots have penetrated into all aspects of human life.

As the best production tools and human partners, robots are beginning to play an increasingly important role in various fields, and due to the limitations of the well-known three laws of robots, human beings are full of trust in these partners who are competent for various jobs and have no complaints. Many of them have even become part of a family.

"Number 03, explain the three laws of robotics!"

"Okay, officer." Number 03's tone became full of sacredness.

"First Law A robot shall not injure a human being, or allow a human being to be harmed."

"The Second Law A robot must obey orders from humans unless it violates the First Law."

"Third Law A robot must protect itself without violating the first and second laws."

The three laws of robotics, proposed by the famous sci-fi writer Asimov, have a far-reaching impact. Many sci-fi works have introduced these three laws as the code of conduct for robots.

Russell also knows the Three Laws, because they are so famous, and he has deliberately studied them in depth.

However, the three seemingly flawless laws actually have many controversies. When the level rises to the level of morality and human interests, the three laws have loopholes, so Asimov added the zeroth law.

The zeroth law Robots must protect the overall interests of human beings from harm, and this law overrides the three major laws.

The emergence of the zeroth law is necessary, because when robots implement the three laws, they will encounter certain situations. For example, in order to maintain the overall order of the country or the world, human beings must execute some people's death sentences in order to make laws.So, should robots prevent the execution of death-row criminals?

The three laws stipulate that robots must do this, but rescuing the condemned prisoners will destroy the order of human society and harm the overall interests of mankind.

With the addition of the zeroth law, such an embarrassing scene does not exist, but it is a pity that there are still loopholes in the seemingly perfect.

What are the legitimate interests of human beings?

Europeans, Asians, Americans, and Africans all hold different opinions. At the United Nations Congress, these people can beat their brains out.Even human beings can't figure out the problem, if it is written in detail, it will be full of flaws, let the robot execute it, they will only contradict themselves and crash.

Later, after the three major laws and the zeroth law, the meta law, the fourth law, and the law of reproduction were extended.

Russell estimates that the laws that robots must abide by will continue to increase, because logic is flawed. No matter how perfect the laws are, they are the product of human logic. There is a loophole.

Moreover, human beings themselves have a famous saying that rules are used to break!
