My Creator 08
Only the desk lamp was on in the room. Zhou Yunyu squinted her hazy eyes and could only see Zhou Yi's eyes that were shining.
"Do you have any activities tonight? What do you want to do?" Zhou Yunyu asked.
Zhou Yi shook his head, "There are no other arrangements. If you want to wash up, you can go take a shower now." All of Zhou Yi's activities revolved around Zhou Yunyu, so actually he didn't have anything he wanted to do.
"I'm so tired." Zhou Yunyu muttered softly. She slept for a really long time in the afternoon. It was so long that she felt her head was dizzy and her consciousness was a little fuzzy.
But she really wanted to take a shower. It was as if two little people were fighting in her mind, and her body was stuck to the bed and didn't want to move.
"Do you want me to help you wash?" Zhou Yi said this seriously, as if this matter was as simple as helping her cook.
Zhou Yunyu blinked his still sore eyes and nodded in confusion.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi's structure is exactly the same as that of a human. If he were the most traditional robot connected by wires, he might not be able to touch water and would not be able to help her take a bath.
When Zhou Yunyu immersed herself in the hot water, her mind seemed to clear up for a moment. Zhou Yi tested the water temperature with his hand. When he was about to put his hand on her arm, she interrupted him, "No, no need, I can wash myself..."
Zhou Yunyu suddenly realized that she seemed to be too dependent on Zhou Yi in her life. She could do everything by herself before, but since Zhou Yi appeared, she has not cooked or done housework.
Even things like washing clothes and applying body lotion can be done by him. Although there is no limit to the number of years Zhou Yi can use her, she can't let him do everything for her whole life.
As she spoke, she sank into the bathtub filled with hot water, as if she wanted to bury her body with the hot water.
Zhou Yi looked at her in confusion. He had just brought her to the bathroom and helped her choose pajamas and aromatherapy for tonight. She was fine just now, so why did she refuse his help again?
"I also want to massage your legs and feet. You must be very tired after walking tens of thousands of steps today." Zhou Yi knew her body very well. Although she was out playing today, the amount of exercise she did was far higher than her usual average.
"I'll press it before going to bed. You go take a shower first, I'll do it myself." Maybe it was because the bathroom was not big, but her voice was a little muffled when she spoke.
The mist was so thick that it seemed to swallow her up, and Zhou Yunyu's palms, which were immersed in the hot water, became particularly red.
"What if you fall asleep in the bathtub again later?" Zhou Yi paused, "If you don't want my help, I'll wait for you outside the door. I'll clean myself up after you finish washing."
"Okay?" He lowered his voice, thinking that she was still a little confused after waking up, and she was always in a bad mood after waking up. So Zhou Yi's voice was like a coaxing voice.
She nodded silently, looking at Zhou Yi with her round eyes and raised eyebrows. Because he had just helped her test the water temperature, his clothes were accidentally soaked by a few water droplets, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up. She looked down at the blood vessels on his arm, which were exactly the same as real blood vessels.
"Okay, then I'll go out first. If there's anything you want me to do, just let me know." Zhou Yi stood up, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
Zhou Yunyu moved her lowered body upwards again. She tilted her head and looked at Zhou Yi's back, as if she sighed.
After taking a shower, Zhou Yunyu felt much better. She even felt that she might not be able to sleep tonight. She lay on the bed and waited for Zhou Yi to massage her legs.
Zhou Yi walked into the room with her favorite massage oil and began to massage her leg muscles, which had been tired from the whole day. His warm palms mixed with a slightly sticky liquid were applied to her calves.
Zhou Yunyu turned around with her phone in hand, "I took a lot of photos today. Can I send them all to you?"
"Okay." Zhou Yi raised his head and smiled gently.
"Should I Photoshop some of the photos? Some of them don't look very good." Zhou Yunyu frowned, thinking that his photography skills were comparable to Shi Yingyao, whom he always teased.
Neither of them is very good at taking pictures.
"No need, all your photos look good." Zhou Yi's tone was sincere, but Zhou Yunyu only thought it was flattery.
"You always praise me with your eyes closed," she said.
Zhou Yi frowned, "Everything I said is true." He continued massaging his hands, "Aesthetics are inherently inconsistent. In my eyes, anything related to you is naturally the best."
Zhou Yi always spoke sweetly, at least to her. Even someone like Zhou Yunyu, who didn't like socializing, would enjoy chatting with him. She knew that at sixteen or seventeen, she couldn't create such a perfect AI, and she didn't know how hard the developers had to work on her code to create someone like Zhou Yi.
"Okay, I've sent them all to you." Zhou Yunyu is actually not the kind of person who would get anxious if he thinks his photos are not good-looking.
In fact, she felt that there was nothing wrong with the portraits, but she was not very good at composition and lighting, so the photos she took were indeed very average.
There were also several photos of me and Zhou Yi inside.
"Okay." Zhou Yi responded to her and continued to massage another muscle that had not been touched.
Zhou Yunyu thought that she would not be able to sleep at night because she slept for so long this afternoon, but she did not expect that she would start to feel drowsy again. Before she wanted to fall asleep, she suddenly sat up, took Zhou Yi's arm and leaned over him.
Like a hug.
Zhou Yi stood by the bed, and she was sitting on the bed. In order to follow her movements, Zhou Yi even bent his body.
She placed her palms on his back and patted him a few times. "Today isn't over yet, happy birthday to you. You're another year older."
Zhou Yi didn't expect her to hug him suddenly, and his body seemed to stiffen for a moment. When he reacted, he hugged Zhou Yunyu back, resting his chin on her shoulder and rubbing it gently a few times.
"Thank you, I'm very happy today." Zhou Yi said softly, rubbing his face against her slightly cold earlobe. He didn't want to leave her arms, but Zhou Yunyu quickly let go of his hand.
Just when she wanted to end this simple hug, Zhou Yi used some strength in his arms to hold her in his arms and prevent her from leaving.
Zhou Yunyu hummed in some confusion, her hands suspended in mid-air, not knowing what was wrong with Zhou Yi.
"This year marks the tenth anniversary of our acquaintance." He suddenly spoke, as if this was a rare time for him to disobey Zhou Yunyu's orders.
"I hope I can always be with you in the future." He spoke in a low voice, which sounded a little muffled.
"Why do you suddenly say that?" Zhou Yunyu asked with a smile. Seeing that Zhou Yi was silent, she didn't dwell on it any further, but just subconsciously patted his back with her hand.
Just like before, Zhou Yi waited until Zhou Yunyu fell asleep before preparing for his own sleep. However, he inexplicably didn't want to leave her so early tonight. His selfishness made him stay in her room for a long time, so long that he fell asleep next to the bedside table. So long that Zhou Yunyu fell into a deep sleep and started talking in her sleep. Only then did he slowly wake up and cover her with the thin quilt that she had kicked away.
It was past midnight, and even though it wasn't his birthday anymore, he was still by her side.
Back to work, life was just as busy, and the weather had been getting increasingly hotter. The bright sunlight outside the window illuminated the office brilliantly. Zhou Yunyu had just returned to her office after a small project meeting. The sunlight was a bit too strong, so she turned and drew the curtains.
Her mood seemed to be even better than the weather today. With sufficient technical and personnel preparation, the start date of their project was finally finalized.
Zhou Yi did not stay with her at this meeting. He was busy with other work. He only returned to her office after knowing that she had been sitting in her office for twenty minutes.
Normally, all of her assistants had separate offices, and Zhou Yi also had his own office, but his was special, being on the same floor as hers. Sometimes, to make it easier for him to take care of her, he would simply work directly in her office.
Zhou Yunyu leaned back in his chair and drank juice, feeling a rare sense of relaxation. The rest of the project depended mainly on the follow-up of the R&D personnel. If all went well, this project, which had been prepared nearly twenty years ago, would come to a perfect end.
Zhou Yi knocked on the door and walked in. He glanced at Zhou Yunyu's expression and said, "You look very happy."
"Of course. Everything is difficult at the beginning. We've already got it done, and now we're just looking forward to everything going smoothly." She looked at the project plan on the computer screen in front of her, the page stopped at the last two steps of the project schedule. Zhou Yunyu sighed.
Zhou Yi forced a smile and said softly, "It will go well."
"These are some documents awaiting approval from the Technical Department and the Production Department. You can deal with these documents today. We should be able to have lunch once you finish them." Zhou Yi informed her of the preset schedule.
"Okay, sure." Zhou Yunyu put down the juice in his hand.
"Mr. Zhou, is there anything else I can help you with? If not, I'll go back to my office first." Zhou Yi stood in front of her, wanting her to keep him, but he didn't know what reason or necessity Zhou Yunyu had to keep him.
Zhou Yunyu raised her head and rolled her eyes to think carefully. She realized that she really didn't need Zhou Yi anymore. She shook her head and said, "It seems that nothing is wrong."
The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth seemed to bend down in an instant, but he still nodded.
"Hey!" Zhou Yunyu seemed to remember something.
Zhou Yiyang smiled gently and looked expectant.
"You decide what to have for lunch. Just Chinese food will do. I can handle any dish today."
Unexpectedly, she would say this, he nodded seriously again, "Okay, I'll talk to Auntie later."
Zhou Yi returned to his office and sat on the chair, dozing off for a while with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes again, the informed consent form for the experiment was still on the table in front of him, with his name signed on it in a beautiful cursive script.
And the name written on it is Zhou Yi.
Yes, he is not only Zhou Yunyu’s birthday gift, but also her experimental subject.
Zhou Yi didn't know about this at first. Only when he started to work with Zhou Yunyu on the core work of the company did he learn about the things related to this secret project.
Zhou Yi had no complaints about this, because he knew that if it weren't for this project, he might not exist in this world, and he wouldn't have been able to get along so closely with Zhou Yunyu for nearly ten years.
Simply put, the purpose of this project is to study whether AI can have consciousness and emotions. This has always been a controversial topic in the field, from philosophy to technology to life, and everyone seems to have different opinions.
If the project goes smoothly, Zhou Yunyu and others will have the power to unify the answer to this question.
The reason why this project was carried out in secret was because it also cooperated with the government and was closely related. For security reasons, this project has always been carried out in secret, so this is probably why only Zhou Yunyu's family knew Zhou Yi's true identity.
The reason why the country cooperates with them is because there is currently a vision and plan to put bionic robotic creatures into military activities.
Although the world is now at peace, military strength is crucial to truly protect one's nation. Throughout the millennia of human development, humanity has experienced numerous large-scale wars. Countless historical events and experiences reveal the detrimental effects of war on humanity.
Many survivors of the war suffered from varying degrees of war syndrome.
Putting AI into warfare is also a new area of technological innovation. Bionic robotic creatures can have stronger power, and a very important point is that AI has no real consciousness and can avoid psychological sequelae.
Their current experiment is to test whether the emotions set by the program in the bionic robot creature can override the program. Simply put, they are still studying whether AI can develop the consciousness that only humans have.
Through programming and clearing computing data, bionic robot creatures will erase their past life memories. This is different from the amnesia of JOJO humans. After losing their memory, humans may still have feelings for their forgotten relatives.
Love and awareness can sometimes be more accurate than your memory.
But robots won’t do that. Clearing their memories means clearing the accumulated data as well, and even the “emotions” set by the program will be completely erased.
The main steps of Zhou Yunyu and his team's project are divided into three parts.
The first part is to determine whether the AI's emotions will go beyond the program arrangement by detecting specific bands in a certain part of the brain and through a series of physical tests.
The second part is to clear the data and erase the memory of the AI experimenter.
The third part is to retest the bionic brain and its body one month after the memory is cleared to determine whether the clearing of data can ensure the clearing of emotions.
Zhou Yi's signing of the informed consent form means that he fully agrees to participate in the project experiment and will face the possibility of all his data and memory being erased.
Besides him, there are a number of other AI experimenters, some of whom are company employees, some of whom live like ordinary people in society, and some of whom have formed families and developed so-called relationships with each other. However, people believe that these emotions are just programmed.
Now they need to come up with data and evidence to prove their guesses.
Zhou Yi lowered his head and put away the informed consent form, then called the cook to prepare lunch for today.
He knew her preferences very well, and the menu he randomly thought of was also what she liked. Zhou Yunyu had breakfast a little early today, and was very hungry by noon.
She quickly picked up the dishes and started eating. The aunt who often cooked for her was very skilled and her cooking was very much to her taste. Even Zhou Yi had practiced his cooking skills by recording the aunt's cooking techniques.
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Zhou Yi couldn't help but remind her and patted her back lightly.
"I'm so hungry today." Zhou Yunyu raised his head and laughed twice.
"No one is competing with you for it. Don't be anxious. Take your time." Zhou Yi still persuaded her patiently.
"Okay, I'll eat slowly." She replied as he said.
After dinner, Zhou Yi sat on the sofa and massaged her back shoulders. Because her cervical spine would inevitably feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, Zhou Yi would often help her clear the meridians.
He gathered her long hair and tied it into a bun. Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of how he didn't know how to tie hair before.
Zhou Yi also learned how to tie Zhou Yunyu's hair because she had long hair. Although he was an all-round AI, the program seemed to have forgotten to give him these skills.
The warm palm covered her shoulder and pressed the corresponding nerve. Zhou Yunyu instantly felt a soreness and couldn't help but gasp.
"It hurts a little."
"Then I'll be gentler." Zhou Yi said lightly. Although he said this, he still used some strength.
As the massage went on, the discomfort at the beginning became comfortable. They both sat on the sofa, and her hands were resting on Zhou Yi's legs.
Zhou Yunyu poked his thigh with his finger. "You, you got the agreement?"
She asked softly.
In addition to the informed consent form, the experiment also includes an agreement.
Zhou Yi smiled gently and nodded, "Yes, but I haven't signed it yet."
"Is there a problem with the agreement?" Zhou Yunyu knew that the entire project and experiment actually had no benefit for advanced AIs like Zhou Yi, but they had spent decades on this research.
She couldn't give up. The subjects who were controlled by the program would all volunteer to participate in the experiment.
He shook his head. "No problem, I'll sign it later." Zhou Yi paused. "It's just that I'm sad now when I think about how I'll forget all the experiences we had before."
His voice sounded a little sad.
It would make him sad to forget his past with Zhou Yunyu, but what would make him even sadder is that Zhou Yunyu is the one who preserves that memory.
Zhou Yi himself was not sure if the experiment would go smoothly. If the data processing was abnormal, he might face the possibility of self-destruction. If the process went smoothly and the technology supported him, he would also be able to recover his previous memories.
As long as computing power is strong enough, nothing is impossible.
But if Zhou Yunyu faces a situation in the future where she is the only one who has the memories of both of them, will she be sad?
Although Zhou Yi was not confident enough to think that Zhou Yunyu would love him, she was not a person who took feelings lightly. At least he still had a certain status in her heart.
Zhou Yunyu pursed her lips and sighed softly, "Then you can secretly write down our memories and look back at them when you want to read them." She joked.
She thought, she really was reluctant to let him forget all his memories from the past ten years. And almost all of his memories were related to her.
