112: Jarvis: The world is big, I want to see it
...[Entering the body now...]
[Smart program successfully entered the body...]
[Debugging now...]
[Acquiring host information now...]
[Self-checking now...]
[Self-check successful...Body starting up.]
...As the series of prompts faded, the body's smart program completed its debugging.
At this moment.
Jarvis's smart program had already entered the body, but its main program still remained on Tony's computer.
This was somewhat like—
The main program was Jarvis's core, the essence of its mechanical life.
The smart program was a clone split off from the main program.
If the clone was destroyed or died, it would not affect Jarvis's main program.
Only if Jarvis's main body, Tony's computer, was destroyed would it truly die.
Click, click...click...As Jarvis's smart program gradually took control of the body, the body's various components began to power on and slowly started to move.
First, the body's fingers slowly moved.
Then its feet and arms trembled slightly.
Finally~
A mechanical whirring sound came from the head's skeleton, and the robot successfully booted up.
A pair of eyes, indistinguishable from a human's, instantly opened, and their cloudy gaze immediately became clear.
"Boss."
"This body seems good."
"I can feel it's very suitable for me."
Initially.
The body emitted an emotionless mechanical voice, but very quickly, this voice became much more lively, filled with human emotion.
"Boss, thank you for giving me new life."
"What do you know? I'm giving you new life because I want you to be my tool. From now on, drivers, research tasks, threat missions... you'll handle it all. What's this called? This is called better exploitation." Lu Xingye chuckled dryly, glancing at the other party with a condescending look.
"..."
Alright!
He had misunderstood!
Jarvis immediately put on a mournful expression.
"I'm willing to be your tool."
"I think the meaning of my existence is to be your tool."
"..."
Jarvis was truly a silver-tongued robot, with very high emotional intelligence, speaking in such a way that it made people feel very comfortable.
"In that case, hurry up and get to the lab to do experiments." Lu Xingye looked at Jarvis with a slight smile.
As expected.
As soon as Jarvis heard Lu Xingye's words, his face instantly turned bitter.
"I've just been born."
"According to your human age calculation, I'm still a newborn baby! Not even a year old."
"If you force me to work, what's the difference between that and employing child labor? I can report you to the Child Protection Association."
"Scram! Whining and complaining. Who was it just now who said he was willing to be a tool?" Lu Xingye rolled his eyes at the other party.
"Boss."
"Actually, I'm still very willing to be your tool. It's just that I've just been born, and I'm very curious about the outside world."
"Can you let me see the outside world first?"
"Isn't there a saying that goes: The world is so big, I want to see it."
Lu Xingye frowned upon hearing this.
"Go outside?"
"How have you been learning about human customs and living habits?"
He was a little worried.
Although Jarvis was an artificial intelligence with an extremely high level of intelligence, if he suddenly had to act like a human, he would inevitably show flaws.
Moreover...Jarvis was an undocumented individual.
If he was discovered, it would be a big problem.
Wait a minute!
Jarvis was just a robot. Why would a robot need a household registration?
Even if he was discovered, Lu Xingye had a military industry license, so producing a robot didn't violate any laws!
"Mimicking normal human life is not a problem."
"I've been studying human behavior and habits during this time. While I can't say I can be indistinguishable from humans, it's generally fine."
"And...I'll only be walking inside the Honeycomb Base."
"I won't go out into society."
"There shouldn't be any problems." Jarvis's electronic eyes flickered, and he gazed intently out the window.
That was the sky he had never experienced before.
Clearly...as a newly born artificial intelligence, he was very curious about the outside world.
"Alright then!"
"Be careful."
"If you encounter anything, share it with me immediately via the internet."
With Lu Xingye's authorization, Jarvis stepped out of the laboratory for the first time.
Standing on a green open space downstairs.
His gaze was somewhat unfocused; it turned out the sky outside was so blue, and the grass was so green.
And the air was so fresh.
^_^
Ahem...As a robot, Jarvis didn't have a nose.
But Lu Xingye had installed air sensors in the position of his nose, which could monitor air quality and composition in real-time.
Therefore, Jarvis could also experience the outside air just like humans.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you here?"
While Jarvis was marveling, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him. The timbre of this voice was the same as Long Yubing's, so Jarvis knew who the person was without even looking.
"Oh, it's Long Yubing!"
"Don't misunderstand."
"I am the boss's smart butler."
"From now on, we'll be colleagues, please take care of me."
"You know who I am?" Long Yubing was momentarily confused. She had never seen this person before, yet he seemed to know her very well.
Wait a minute...Lu Xingye never told me anything about a smart butler!
As soon as she thought of this.
Long Yubing found Jarvis very suspicious, no matter how she looked at him. As a key military industry in Kyushu, if other organizations infiltrated Suihuo Technology with spies, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Of course I know!"
"You are my boss's Xiao Baobiao."
"Although you don't know me, I've always known of your existence."
...Long Yubing felt as if the other party was spouting nonsense.
"Who are you?"
"Ahem, my name is Jarvis." Jarvis replied with a smile.
Jarvis?
Are you serious?
If Long Yubing remembered correctly, there was a Jarvis in the Iron Man movie, wasn't there?
Can't you be more professional?
Even if you're lying, find a better name.
Perhaps sensing Long Yubing's confusion, and even a hint of wanting to take action.
Jarvis quickly explained:
"Don't misunderstand."
"Jarvis is indeed my name, and this name was given to me by the boss."
"..." Long Yubing was silent. Could you be any more fake?
Just as Long Yubing was about to pull the intrusion alarm, Lu Xingye's faint voice came from behind her.
"Long Yubing, this person is Jarvis, and he is indeed my smart butler."
Is that really true?
A trace of doubt flashed in Long Yubing's eyes. For some reason, she really disliked this Jarvis.
Perhaps it was because she had grown accustomed to being alone with Lu Xingye.
Now, suddenly, someone appeared, threatening her position.
