Chapter 561 Amazing Brain Machine

"The other two scholars who were kidnapped by the doctor's two assistants refused to cooperate as soon as they saw that. One wanted to escape no matter how we explained, and the other kept chanting delirious prayers. There was no way to communicate at all..." When she said this, Alice sighed, "In the end, everyone died."

"Dead, dead..." Jimmy's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he stared at Alice with wide eyes, wanting to confirm the truth of the news.

But Alice just nodded and said, "Yes, if Alice hadn't found you, Mr. Jimmy, who had just been brought back, you would have starved to death there!"

When he said this, Jimmy's eyes suddenly opened and looked at Alice in front of him.

"You, you...what are you going to do to me?"

"We are no longer here. There are only you and me, the doctor... the assistants, and the other two victims. Everyone is gone, so Mr. Jimmy, you are my last hope!"

"No... gone!" Jimmy thought of various situations, such as... being killed!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Jimmy became, and he was extremely panicked.

However, Alice's next words made him feel relieved. "About fifty hours ago, the doctor... suddenly collapsed after working for more than 20 hours in a row... The assistants were in a mess... They were scrambling to treat the doctor... But it was too late. When I contacted the doctor again... The doctor had... passed away. After that, in order to continue the doctor's research, the doctor's assistants kept kidnapping scholars from related disciplines to assist in the research. As I said just now, the two scholars had a conflict with the assistants, and in the end, only me and you, Teacher Jimmy, were left..."

"Well...well, just call me Jimmy, that's fine." Jimmy felt a little embarrassed being called teacher all the time.

Alice continued, "For Alice, Mr. Jimmy is the only person she can rely on."

The girl tilted her head slightly and looked at Jimmy with a weak face, a bit uneasy and at a loss.

This made Jimmy feel a little bit uncomfortable, "You, what do you need me to do?"

"Turn right at the stairs in front, and we'll be there if we go down here." Alice did not answer the question directly, and Jimmy calmed down temporarily because Alice did not look very dangerous.

After turning the stairs, there was a door without a handle. The girl pressed her hands against the door, and her body seemed to be trembling a little.

"When this door opens... I hope you can remain calm and restrained... Because no matter how unethical and absurd this experiment may seem, the life that was born from it, she... she... she wants to live."

Alice turned around and looked at Jimmy deeply, her eyes revealing reluctance and attachment, but Jimmy also doubted whether it was his illusion. How could a robot have such rich emotions?

After pushing open the door, Jimmy followed Alice inside. The independent iron boxes looked like separate steam engines.

But the technology it displayed was even more advanced and more unusual. Although he was afraid, Jimmy was still very interested. "This...here?"

"The doctor has restricted my rights. I don't have the right to read the maintenance data... So after the doctor passed away, I can only find someone else to learn the maintenance process... and then teach it to me." Alice looked at Jimmy pleadingly, "No... To be precise, it doesn't matter if you don't teach me the maintenance method... But... But... I really hope to get regular maintenance... Otherwise, my life won't even last 200 hours."

[Alice]'s voice was choked with sobs, and Jimmy finally accepted what this so-called brain meant.

"So this is your brain center?"

"To put it simply... yes!" Alice nodded.

"And...just like the human brain needs sleep to rest, your brain also needs regular maintenance to function properly?"

"……Yes!"

"Then in order to have absolute control over you, the doctor restricted the way you learn self-maintenance? He didn't give you permission to read maintenance materials, which also restricted the possibility of self-maintenance."

"Yes." Alice nodded.

But Jimmy looked confused, "But... why, they obviously invented you."

"...I don't know." Alice shook her head. "But I think...the doctor might want to keep a few...means to control me in case of an emergency."

"Unexpected situations control you...Why?" Jimmy felt like he had figured something out, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Alice nodded and poked her cheek with her finger. "Because I... am not a clean machine. Look at these cabinets. There are only some complicated circuits inside. That's all. But...?"

"But, but?" Jimmy sighed helplessly, "...Because, since you call yourself a machine, you think these machines are normal, but don't you think you are more..."

Jimmy didn't continue speaking, but Alice took over his words, "But... I call myself a machine... Actually, there is no more appropriate word to use. I am not like a human. I can't leave here."

"What does it mean?"

"If I were to use a more appropriate term to describe me, I would be a brain-computer."

Jimmy was shocked by this and looked around. It was like a series of independent servers here, but even so, it could not reach the level of Alice, who had basic self-awareness.

"In the past, Unit 1 was a simple electronic computer. Unit 2 added artificially cultured coupled neurons. Unit 3 added an octopus brain. The proposal to build my "hybrid super biological computer" was the reason why the doctor was expelled by the citizens."

With such a complex structure, Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3 all involve so many levels, which not only violates the principles, but also violates scientific ethics.

With such an amazing brain structure, Jimmy could imagine how intense the reaction would be at that time.

"I cannot avoid this sin...but if I...want your help, will you help me?"

[Alice] opened the center of a row of cabinets, and inside was something that made his scalp tingle and made him want to feel nauseous.
