Chapter 414 Found you, Sonny

After Zhou Xuan walked in, he saw parts of the room full of NSC_5 robots, some piled on the table, on the shelves, and some hanging on the ceiling. This laboratory is really not small, and it is almost on the school playground. He touched his chin, then turned to Susan Calvin and asked.

"Dr. Calvin, what job do you belong to in Usr?"

Susan Calvin accompanied Zhou Xuan to look at Dr. Alfred's laboratory, and then patiently explained.

"My general direction is advanced robotics and psychology, specializing in hardware conversion into human brain interfaces, and is committed to optimizing robotic anthropomorphism programs at robot companies."

Zhou Xuan stopped and asked in a slight surprise.

"Did you design all the anthropomorphic intelligent programs for robots?"

Susan Calvin was watched by Zhou Xuan like this and nodded in a daze.

"Well, you can understand that, but in fact it's not just me."

Zhou Xuan looked at the broken robots and turned to Susan Calvin and asked.

"Do you think robots really have feelings?"

Susan Calvin shook his head and explained to Zhou Xuan seriously.

"No, robots are just simulating human emotions, and in fact they have no emotions."

This is something she has been studying at work, so she knows a lot about this.

Zhou Xuan chuckled and did not continue asking. He walked to the glass window in the front and looked at the hole where Dr. Alfred jumped down. The people walking downstairs were like little ants in his eyes.

“It’s a bit high indeed.”

Susan Calvin nodded.

"Of course, this is the tenth floor."

Zhou Xuan withdrew his gaze and happened to see a book on the table next to him. He picked up the book, then read it casually and said to Susan Calvin.

"[Adventures of the Forest], it seems that Dr. Alfred likes this book very much."

Susan Calvin came over and took the book from Zhou Xuan's hand, frowned and nodded in agreement.

"It should be."

In fact, she was not sure what kind of connection this book would have with Dr. Alfred. Logically, it is impossible for such fairy tale books to appear in the laboratory.

"Adventures of the Fantasy Forest" is a very famous fairy tale.

The story begins with "Once upon a time, a lumberjack family lived in the forest. My father went out to work every day to earn money to support his brother, sister and stepmother. However, my father didn't make much money and the family lived a tight life."

The picture is a family dinner. Each father, brother and sister is in a vegetarian dish, with only a small amount of vegetables, beans, beets, big chicken legs, bread, and cheese in front of the stepmother. The father, brother and sister are thin and miserable, and the stepmother is fat and fierce, and the contrast is strong.

"One day, the brother and sister heard the stepmother quietly tell their father to throw the children into the forest. Otherwise, the whole family would starve to death. Of course, my father would not agree! But the family was too poor, so in the end, he had to agree."

"My sister was so scared that she started crying secretly. My brother ran out to pick up some small stones and hid them in his pocket. The next day, the whole family walked into the depths of the forest. My brother quietly threw small stones on the ground as he walked."

"When we arrived in the deep forest, my dad said you were waiting here. My mother and I went to pick up some wood, but they didn't come back until dark. My brother comforted my sister not to be afraid, and I will take you home after dawn."

"The next day, the brother and sister returned home smoothly along the stone. My father was very happy to see the brother and sister, but my stepmother was unhappy. A few days later, the stepmother asked my father to throw away the brother and sister, and the brother heard this again."

"My brother wanted to pick up some small stones, but the door was locked by his stepmother and he couldn't get out. The next day, the family walked deep into the forest again. My brother quietly took out a piece of bread, kneaded it into bread crumbs and sprinkled it on the road..."

The real intention of Dr. Alfred putting this book here is to let Zhou Xuan see it. This case must be traced down the "bread crumbs" found like in a storybook.

Zhou Xuan pointed to the window glass and asked Susan Calvin.

"Dr. Calvin, this should be explosion-proof glass."

Susan Calvin nodded.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Zhou Xuan gestured with his hands and explained to Susan Calvin.

"It should be quite difficult for Dr. Alfred to break the glass and jump down."

Susan Calvin said with a frown.

"He must have found some way."

As the top scientist, it is not easy for Dr. Alfred to break an explosion-proof glass in the laboratory.

Zhou Xuan walked to the glass hole again, turned to Susan Calvin and said.

"From the cracks at the entrance of the glass hole, it doesn't seem to be scratched by tools or corroded by chemicals. It's just being smashed open by someone. So who can smash the explosion-proof glass?"

Susan Calvin asked Zhou Xuan with a little helplessness.

"Officer, this room has a security lock and no one can enter or exit. This is what you saw with your own eyes. Doesn't this mean it is a suicide case?"

Zhou Xuan smiled meaningfully, and then said to Susan Calvin.

"Yes, unless it's still here."

Susan Calvin said to Zhou Xuan in a hurry.

"Are you kidding? This is ridiculous."

She had already heard Zhou Xuan’s implication, meaning that the murderer or accomplice was a robot.

Zhou Xuan pretended to search the robot parts and kept saying to Susan Calvin.

"I know that the three laws are perfect. But the dead are the writers of the three laws, and no one knows what is happening here."

Susan Calvin explained to Zhou Xuan.

"Police officer, the first law of robotics is that robots must not hurt people."

Zhou Xuan turned his head to look at Susan Calvin, smiled and nodded.

"Not bad, but what if humans issued an order to make it smash the glass?"

Susan Calvin fell into deep thought.

"this……"

Zhou Xuan then said to Susan Calvin.

"I also know the three major laws. The second law of robotics is that robots need to follow the instructions issued by humans."

Susan Calvin nodded thoughtfully.

"It is indeed possible, but that should be suicide."

Robots can only be regarded as tools, not as complicitors.

Dr. Alfred made a robot, ordered it to break the glass. Then he closed it and jumped down himself.

Susan Calvin imagined this way, in fact, it is very close to the truth.

On the other side, Zhou Xuan walked to a long table and saw the table full of robot parts. But he could see the particularly eye-catching face of the robot inside, and couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
