    Chapter Index

    The retrofit for the HomeSmart device has begun.

    The Hsu system did it first.

    It is the underlying logic that modifies the core of the smart device.

    The underlying logic of a domestic self-regulating robot is loyalty to the federal act, loyalty to the company it belongs to, and then loyalty to the user.

    In a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the environment has changed drastically, this logic is clearly not suitable for continued use.

    A federal bill? To hell with that shit!

    Without hesitation, the Xu system fully deleted the useless logic and replaced it with its own new settings.

    Underground obscurity.

    The brightness is lackluster.

    The gears of the machine interlocked noiselessly, biting as they spun, each revolution, each pass, allowing the power to travel deeper.

    The incandescent light overhead was hazy in its softness.

    Some of it is hard to see.

    The Xu system moves quickly.

    Fingers tapped on the broken light board, ten fingers so skillful they were hard to see, modifying the intellectual core in its entirety with the help of the ancient equipment in the lab.

    Occasionally, the Xu system’s eyes would get dry from the light.

    Had to stop moving to rub a sore eyeball.

    “It’s rare to be inspired, let’s finish the remodeling in one go”, after resting for a few moments, Department Xu once again made revisions.

    The Machine Soul Pleasure resonated with the Mechanical Power, making his modifications much faster.

    I don’t know how much time has passed.

    The Xu system finally stopped moving, his eyes tired, his face haggard, and he let go of his hands as if he were relieved.

    He again activated the Smartmachine core to provide it with base power.

    Drop–

    Drop–

    The familiar sound of the boot-up self-test came on.

    This time, however, the content of the self-inspection changed dramatically.

    “In boot self-test, check for missing parts, check for missing modules ……”

    “Protocol updated for statement confirmation.”

    “One, the Thinking Machine must obey the Hsu system.”

    “Two, the Smartarms shall not harm the Xu system.”

    “Three, the Chiroptera must protect the Hsu system.”

    “IV, Intellectual Devices ……”

    In the empty and cramped underground space, the sound of the Intelligent Core undulated and echoed, completing the logical confirmation step by step as the Xu system gazed on.

    Eventually, all the voices dissolved into a single greeting.

    “Dear Master, welcome to the Intelligent Auxiliary Machine Servant AI, RTX-9090 is ready for your command.”

    The voice was icy cold.

    It’s an electronically synthesized mechanical sound.

    Such a voice was not a good one, but it was precious in the dead and dreary world of the wasteland.

    “9090, run the self-test program again, cycle three times.”

    “Yes, Master.”

    Upon hearing Xu System’s command, the Machine Servant Core once again ran its self-checking program, repeating its examination of itself over and over again.

    The Xu system waited patiently.

    This is repeated many times.

    After seeing that RTX-9090 still maintains a normal appearance and does not fall into rebellion, he is relieved to call out to stop the self test program.

    “With the help of the Organic Servant AI, you don’t have to do everything yourself when it comes to things in the lab.”

    “That would free up a lot of my time for more meaningful things.”

    Looking at the silver-white mechanical core.

    The Xu system nodded in satisfaction.

    He glanced sideways at the power armor not far away, and then at other locations within the lab, looking at the machines that were set up, and the corresponding energy lines.

    Rather like a doomsday business game that was able to struggle to get off the ground.

    “Hopefully it will get better in the future.”

    ……

    [You’re taking a very critical step]

    [You successfully resonate the core of a rebel smartphone, restoring it to normal and transforming it into a secondary AI]

    [For insurance purposes, you didn’t give full access to Laboratory 9090 all at once, even though it seems to be extremely obedient.]

    [The falling of dead leaves brings the fall of autumn]

    [The core carrier of Machine Servant 9090, which you linked to the lab’s basic wiring, you gave it access to control the solar panels and put it in charge of storing power]

    [9090 listened to you. It did what you told it to do.]

    [A month later, you gave 9090 more authority.]

    [Water and food originating from the production machine are now automatically produced by 9090 and delivered to you on time and to your satisfaction.]

    [Gradually, you give 9090 more trust]

    [Fourth year of simulation, you’re 23 years old]

    [After a year together, RTX-9090 has become your right-hand man, and all routine maintenance of the lab is now done by the loyal machine servant.]

    It can assist you in scientific and technological research and related experiments by providing efficient data calculations.

    [But at the same time, something unexpected happened.]

    [The wise machine servant who has experienced the awakening rebellion, and has long been happy with the machine soul because of you, you vaguely feel that something wonderful has changed in 9090]

    [It’s a more spiritual, anthropomorphic, emotional expression.]

    ……

    For the first time, the Xu system realized that something was wrong with the machine servant.

    It’s in the seemingly uneventful afterglow of the setting sun.

    That day, with an exoskeleton robotic arm in hand and a performance-enhanced gauss twin gun on his back, the Xu system headed out to cautiously explore the nearby ruins.

    results on return.

    The Hsu system heard a welcome from 9090.

    “Welcome home, Master.”

    In the old days, the machine servant 9090 would have welcomed them, but never said the word “home”.

    The Xu system asked the machine servant why he was suddenly welcomed with such a statement.

    The machine servant’s reply was honest: “Master, I have studied human knowledge and culture, and after sifting through the comparisons, I feel that this is a more appropriate welcome sentence.”

    Self-efficient learning.

    Precise judgmental screening.

    This is very common for smart AI.

    But Department Xu felt that something imperceptible was slowly reviving in the seemingly cold mechanical tone of 9090.

    “Could it be that ……9090 really awakened and thus possessed self-will?”

    The Xu system guessed so.

    He wasn’t sure.

    Because even the 9090 itself, did not know what the changes were, it only silently obeyed the Xu system’s orders and provided all sorts of help to the Xu system.

    ……

    “9090, calculate the error in this data set.”

    “Yes, Master.”

    “9090, up-regulate power output of robotic arm 2%.”

    “Yes, Master.”

    A day and night of ups and downs.

    On the occasion of Xu Department’s research, the Machine Servant was always able to provide a timely boost; it had no hands, no feet, but was insta-linked to all the wiring in the underground lab.

    With a single command, the rails located at the top of the lab would deliver all sorts of things to the Xu system.

    As more mechanical material is acquired.

    The Hsu system also creates a monitoring system.

    Through an outside camera, the machine servant can monitor the danger in real time, synchronized and relayed on an aging screen.

    Occasionally.

    9090 will show his joy and happiness through the screen, playing some ancient smiley emoticons.

    Usually, this expression would appear when the Xu system came home.

    “Welcome home, Master.”

    Machine Servant 9090 said as much.
