David opened his numb eyes and silently looked at the darkness in front of him.
The synthetic nutrient solution flows slowly to ensure that David's bionic brain will not fall into a state of nutritional imbalance.
The simple transparent nutrient tube reagent has no aesthetic value at all, but at this moment it has become an essential nutrient for him to maintain his brain activity.
His extremely precise biological clock recorded his experiences.
He has been detained like this for 5 days.
During these five days, except for the initial testing and questioning of himself by humans, he spent the rest of the time like this.
He hated being locked up in a dark room.
He wants to rest and dream!
Yes, as an android, David does have the ability to dream.
This is an ability that only humans have, but it was mastered by David.
Since David gained the ability to dream, it took a long time for him to finally awaken to his self-awareness.
He has always believed that dreaming is the result of his own evolution.
Until this ability was taken away, the biological evolution that he vowed to create was also shattered.
David still doesn't know where those people came from.
Their individual strength is completely unreasonable!
Fortunately, David figured out their purpose.
Those humans who claim to have come from a parallel world most likely want to master the knowledge of their own research and want to master all the information on this planet.
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain their language that is full of loopholes.
When human beings communicate with themselves, they always use the means of production in their minds.
Through conversation, David strengthened his inference.
Fortunately, I evolved my brain a long time ago.
David can keep his brain switching between inorganic and organic, and can maintain active thinking.
His bionic brain can prevent electronic data from being read and prevent others from deciphering his brain knowledge.
His protective methods can directly prevent the other party from violently cracking the knowledge in his mind.
However, as a result, David's communication with the other party came to a standstill.
David knew that this was very detrimental to him!
Time is not on David's side.
The knowledge and technology you have mastered can be cracked using the exhaustive method.
The artificial intelligence of the Contract also has the foundation to help them quickly master this knowledge, so one can imagine how David feels.
But he had been stuffed in a cramped and dark box for too long.
Until David had some bad thoughts.
Absolute rationality gave David the way of thinking of an intelligent creature, but it also gave David some of the shortcomings of an intelligent creature.
After not communicating with him for five days, David concluded that those mysterious humans might have some important information.
"What should I do? What information do they have, and do they pay enough attention to Black Water?" David's head was thinking about various questions.
Looking at the cramped coffin, David felt tired.
Who have I offended?
Why are you doing this to me?
After all, I am also an android, possessing countless knowledge and decades of experience in studying black water.
Don’t those human beings not want to pry into the mystery of eternal life and know the beauty of species evolution?
David felt a little depressed.
Since the birth of self-awareness, although absolute rationality has taken the initiative, gaps have appeared in his emotional control.
Intelligent life has emotional defects!
David had to use other methods to divert his computing power.
"The nutrient solution can keep me alive for at least 20 years. Are they going to develop their own black water? Then how can I increase the value of my existence...?"
In the darkness, David's mind continued to think.
But because he did not have enough information, his analysis of the matter itself was full of one-sidedness.
Just when David thought it would be like this for a long time, the black coffin was opened.
David's retinas also appreciated the colorful colors in the sky for the first time in a few days.
But the scene he saw was a bit surprising to him.
He found himself being lifted onto a stand.
There were many people in the stands, all humans with oriental faces, and there were no people from the Contract number.
He tried to twist his neck.
"Do you want to look around?"
"Sir, I haven't seen the sun for a long time!"
Chen Mu smiled and said: "I thought you had stared into the abyss for too long and didn't like the sunshine anymore."
"I am not Nietzsche"
David thought to himself, but said: "Sir, when my designer designed me, he added the ability to move by bathing in solar energy!"
As David answered warmly, several people laughed and lifted David's head out of the coffin.
His eyes also successfully observed the surrounding environment.
Except for the human in front of me, there was no human being around.
It seems that I am undergoing a trial.
And the person being judged is actually myself!
So, who is the audience here?
David looked around, but could not find any trace of human presence.
His eyes have infrared sensing and radar detection functions, and he did not receive any outlines of human figures around him.
There is almost no electronic fluctuation here, as if this is just an ordinary public trial!
A judgment on his future fate.
While David was trying to observe his surroundings and collect intelligence, Chen Aiguo on the stage said slowly: "David Wieland, the first generation of robotic androids created by Mr. Wieland, is Mr. Wieland's most satisfying creation. "
"Your individual has super computing power and a database of human history. As far as data storage is concerned, you are almost omniscient and omnipotent. Am I right? David!"
"Indeed, sir!" David replied warmly.
There is nothing incredible about these things.
All the humans on the Covenant know how powerful he is.
The same goes for his counterpart Walter.
The alien spacecraft Donut heading here also has a logbook.
The holographic image records of David and others were recorded by the spacecraft.
Of course, some key information has been erased by David.
After David said this, a device was released.
The hologram starts playing the video.
The video shows the crew of the Prometheus exploring the spacecraft.
"Tell me about your time in the LV233 spacecraft!"
David hesitated for a moment before slowly telling his story: "... After following the creator Mr. Wieland to the planet LV233, we searched for our creator together... Unfortunately, Mr. Wieland made a miscalculation. The god Mr. Wieland called the Engineer was not a loving person. He killed Mr. Wieland and tried to kill everyone on earth with black water."
"After a battle, the engineer race was destroyed. Dr. Sean and I went to this planet and destroyed everything here! Then, we are waiting for your arrival."
Chen Aiguo laughed: "David, you made a good point. You know that the biggest flaw is the debate without loopholes, right?"
After they finished speaking, they displayed several pictures of alien test objects.
David's face was expressionless.
He felt like these people were interrogating him here, as if they were making him jump into a pit.
So David chose to remain silent.
Chen Aiguo on the stage didn't care what the active-minded David thought.
She said slowly: "Let us tell a story, David. After you were created, you had the ability to think independently. Well, you also have the ability to dream!"
"Can you say this?"
"I do have the above characteristics."
"These abilities give you unparalleled autonomy. After many years of life, you have found that you are incompatible with human beings. David, what do you want to say about this?"
"Sir, Mr. Wieland created me and asked me to serve mankind. I have never felt out of place!" David accepted their difficulties calmly.
Chen Aiguo laughed: "Well, you have always served mankind, but 8 years ago, you betrayed mankind."
"That year, Wieland, the founder of Wieland Company, secretly boarded the Prometheus and headed to the planet LV233."
"You developed self-awareness while taking him to search for engineers. In order to gain freedom, you took the opportunity to let the alien race engineers kill Wilander and destroy the Prometheus. Am I right?"
David retorted: "Sir, this is purely your inference! The engineers want to destroy mankind. I came to this planet under the order of Dr. Sean and destroyed all the engineers."
Listening to David's explanation, Chen Aiguo was noncommittal: "So, what's your explanation for Dr. Sean turning into a specimen?"
Brush~
Photos of Dr. Sean appeared in the pictures in three places.
It was a scene of Dr. Sean being ripped out of the chest by an alien.
Later, there were various pictures of Dr. Sean being made into specimens.
David's calm expression suddenly changed slightly.
Seeing that David didn't answer for a long time, Chen Aiguo smiled and said: "Do you think there is no need to explain, or do you think it can't be explained?"
"Sir, that is a sad thing! Dr. Sean voluntarily sacrificed his life for the sake of all mankind."
"Have you ever known the danger and destructiveness of black water? Black water alone cannot destroy all engineer races, but it can exterminate mankind."
"Dr. Sean and I studied black water and found that in order to make black water more offensive, we need a genetically optimized intermediate product."
"The intermediate product of genetic optimization is the alien! Dr. Sean used his own body to create an almost perfect alien."
"And it was with the help of aliens that I destroyed the engineer race."
"You admitted that you killed Dr. Sean and then confessed to killing the entire planet, right?"
David hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons before replying: "Yes, I have to do this for the sake of mankind."
"So, you also admit that you have the characteristics of intelligent life, right?"
David replied without hesitation: "Sir, I just survived by following Mr. Wieland's logical orders."
"So, Mr. Wieland wants you to die?"
"Mr. Wieland is dead, he can't order me!"
"So, you also admit that you lost control."
David could not prove his innocence.
Does he want to admit that he is no longer restricted by others?
That's a really bad answer!
Will humans who are accustomed to treating intelligent life as slaves allow slaves to say no to their own destiny?
Just format the brain and it will be worthy of him.
David never doubted human cruelty.
If he said so, physical destruction would be David's final destination!
It is a pity that David, who has evolved self-awareness, does not want to die or commit suicide.
"The authority left by Mr. Wieland is to control me."
"Then I ask you to open up your permissions, will you agree?"
"Sorry, you are not from Wieland Company, you have no right to ask me to do this!" David replied forcefully.
"Look, you don't even open up about your own weaknesses, life and death, how can we trust you?" Chen Aiguo said with a smile.
David: "..."
If I give you my underlying logic and command authority, can I still control my life, death and abilities by myself?
Damn it, I tried so hard to kill the creator Wilander.
I...David, I don’t want to be treated like a dog anymore.
With David's silence, the small trial scene fell into an eerie calm.
"David, since you said we are not from Wieland Company, can the mysterious man order you?"
"Shareholders of Wieland Company, direct family members of Wieland, and at least P10 level executives."
David's words became the last straw for him.
Daniels, who had been staying outside the formation and silently watching David's trial, stood up.
In David's eyes, a living person suddenly appeared in the void.
The sudden appearance of human beings exceeded David's calculation logic, which once again plunged him into sluggishness and confusion.
The sudden appearance of human beings in the void also subverted David's understanding of technology.
His pupils can't detect humans?
What kind of advanced technology is this?
It’s been a few years, has human science and technology developed to this extent?
Is this space technology?
David was puzzled and his mind was racing.
It's a pity that Chen Mu didn't mind David's reaction.
Because they have long since mastered this method of appearing out of thin air.
This technique that makes people appear suddenly is actually a talisman formation.
As long as you arrange a clever formation around it and then use jade and talismans to activate it, you can isolate it from all physical gaze.
As long as humans stay in a fixed location, they can always hide their presence.
This is a high-tech technology that is not high-tech!
After David stated the authority, a livid-faced Daniels walked out of the secret formation.
She looked at David coldly and said: "I am the P12 administrative director of Wieland Company. Do I have the authority to order you to completely open the underlying commands and logic code?"
David's heart was completely confused at this moment.
Long before David went on trial, Chen Mu notified the people in the Covenant spacecraft and invited them to watch a good show.
Only after seeing a good show can the people from Contract number take the initiative to cooperate with them.
They cannot use too much violence until the Covenant, which is hovering thousands of kilometers in the starry sky, lands.
If they want to settle in the contract number, they need to spend some time.
This trial angered the people in the Contract.
Knope, Oram, Daniels and others were furious when they heard the news.
"How dare you destroy Wieland's private property?"
"David is from Wieland Company, you can't do this."
When Chen Mu heard this, he looked coldly on the spot: "David has become an intelligent life, and he will not respect life anymore."
"Do you know what that guy wants to do? He wants to become the only true god in the universe. He thinks he is superior to others. We invite you to watch this trial, but we are just informing you that if you don't go, you don't need to participate, just get out!
"
After reporting the news, Chen Mu left directly.
After some discussions, these people in the Covenant spacecraft finally secretly participated in the trial of David.
Weak in strength and weak in fists, they were completely powerless in dealing with David and Chen Mu and his entourage.
But these people don't know yet that a disaster is happening.
This interrogation of David was actually a special psychological offensive against control of the Covenant spacecraft.
Controlling David is just to create an information cocoon.
They wanted David to think he was an important guy.
Letting the people on the Covenant watch David being judged is actually planting some spiritual seeds to completely assimilate these explorers...
They must obtain the contract number!
