Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 27 Extra-Program Laws

With his gaze fixed on the futuristic red box that was neatly placed on the ground, Luca stepped forward expectantly and gently tapped the outer shell of the box.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Hmm? No response?"

"However, it seems that the casing is also made of carbon fiber."

After fiddling with it for a while, even the motherboard chip of [Big White] was popped out by Luca pressing the very conspicuous round chip compartment, but the robot as a whole still did not seem to be starting up.

After reinstalling the chip, Luca briefly recalled the plot of the original Big Hero 6 story before tentatively speaking with some hesitation.

"Ah~it hurts~"

It was just a feigned scream. The red box, which had been completely silent before, suddenly lit up with a circular light strip around the chip compartment, followed by a faint beeping alarm.

Immediately afterwards, the red storage box unfolded quickly.

The white 'filler' inside inflates rapidly like a balloon.

In a short while, an inflatable robot, somewhat resembling a Michelin Man, stood on the open storage box.

The chubby robot first looked down at its surroundings, then blinked in confusion before taking small steps out of the storage box and heading towards Luca.

However, the living room of the villa where Luca was located was already cluttered with a large pile of packages, and there were also many obstacles blocking its way.

The chubby, white inflatable robot wasn't in a hurry; it slowly began to repeat the process.

Bow down.

Bend over.

Move.

Take small, quick steps forward.

This guy was actually planning to move all the obstructing debris to both sides, one by one.

This scene completely broke Luca's guard, who had been full of anticipation.

He rushed over and haphazardly shoved all those things to the sides before the inflatable robot finally stood still and looked at him again.

The inflatable robot raised its right hand, which had only four fingers, and a very gentle but slightly dull electronic voice sounded from inside its body.

“I am Big White, your personal healthcare partner.”

Luca breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Big White had finally started working normally.

However, Da Bai's next words left him stunned.

"Hello, Luca."

"Huh??? You know my name??"

At this moment, Luca was truly filled with questions.

Although it was mentioned in the previous synthesis panel that Baymax has 'tens of thousands of medical knowledge reserves' inside.

This indicates that the robot he synthesized should possess all the information loaded by the original Hamada Masashi, and may even include some original recordings in addition to this information and the artificial intelligence program.

However, no matter what, DaBai's name shouldn't be in the database.

Even with the previous [Dominator] pistol, it was only after I synthesized the item that I was granted usage rights through a basic response procedure and the recording of information such as voiceprint and fingerprint.

However, when Luca asked the question, the big white thing in front of him tilted its head and looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression.

(●—●) "Yes, I know your name, Luca von Orange. I noticed you needed medical help because you cried out 'Pain.'"

"Etc., etc!"

Luca interrupted Big White's somewhat monotonous monologue by speaking directly, and continued with his previous question.

"How do you know my name?"

(●—●)

“According to the Zeroth Law, Luca von Orange is designated as the highest authority and must completely obey all orders of the highest authority.” The large, black eye-like camera blinked twice before quickly replying.

"The zeroth law? Does that mean there are other first and second laws?" Luca asked immediately afterward.

"The only out-of-program law is the zeroth law, which takes precedence over everything else. The first law within the programmed code is: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to die."

Big White's voice continued to broadcast, but Luca had already fallen into deep thought.

'Extra-procedural law? And it even specifies that I have the highest authority?'

Even a fool could tell that this was definitely due to the amazing power of the cheat system.

In fact, Luca had similar concerns when he obtained the core components of [Big White].

The items I synthesized before, even the [Dominator] pistol with its smart chip, were at best limited to basic functions like scanning, responding, and confirming identity. Only [Big White], which I synthesized this time, truly possesses advanced artificial intelligence with autonomous evolution and an emotional module.

If technological creations with advanced artificial intelligence, such as the 'Red Queen' from Resident Evil or the 'T-800' from the Terminator series, couldn't guarantee loyalty and ended up killing themselves after being synthesized, it would be a huge joke.

The reason Luca dared to synthesize Baymax so confidently this time was because his version of Baymax was just a medical robot with medical functions, so he didn't have to worry about betrayal or anything like that.

However, it seems that his cheat system has already thoughtfully taken care of this problem for him.

However, Luca sees this "extra-program law" that Da Bai speaks of as having both advantages and disadvantages.

The benefits are self-evident.

This kind of superhuman power means that even if someone tampers with your AI program, you can regain control with just a word, and no one can take it away.

As for the downsides...

The 'extra-program law' means that even Luca himself cannot replicate this program.

If it's not a system creation but a replica he makes using technical means, he probably won't be able to enjoy this benefit of 'absolute loyalty'.

'Hmm, that was still a bit too greedy. The current situation couldn't be better. We can be more confident and bolder when synthesizing these intelligent entities in the future.'

Luca, having received some truly good news, snapped out of his daze, while Big White finished reciting all those fragmented 'laws' and resumed his previous work.

"Scan complete. No external injury that could cause pain was detected."

"We detected fluctuations in your neurotransmitters and hormones, which indicates tension and mild anxiety. There are no treatment options for similar cases in our database, so we need to expand our database."

"We detected a partial amputation of your right forearm below the elbow. It has been effectively treated and you are now wearing a prosthetic arm. We recommend that you perform resistance training and muscle contraction exercises regularly to ensure the health of your limb."

As he spoke, Big White's chest lit up and began projecting 'rehabilitation exercises' through its internal system.

"Stop, stop, stop. I'll do this when I have time later."

Completely oblivious to what Big White had said before, Luca waved his hands repeatedly until he saw Big White stop playing the projection. Only then did he resume asking questions, his expression becoming more serious.

"I'd like to know if your database contains any treatments for 'synaptic cocooning syndrome'?"
