Shimada, Tatsuo's father, the "super scientist", but he doesn't look like a scientist at all, with a fishing rod on his back.

"This is Mr. Shimada Shingo. He is the one who made the robot. Mr. Shimada was going fishing, so I brought him here."

Shimada was a little dissatisfied at first when he saw so many people in his laboratory, but he thought of something and held back, sighing helplessly.

"So, the woman who attacked the car was really a robot you made?" Araki asked straight to the point.

"Yes, I created it. That is my wife, the Son."

"Why would you let it attack the car?"

"I didn't let Shengzi attack cars. Maybe... she hates cars too much. Shengzi died in a car accident because the truck driver was driving fatigued. Chenfu was only in the fourth grade at that time."

"You mean, you didn't program it to attack cars?" Araki said aggressively. He was already a big man, and at this moment he took two steps forward, forcing Shimada to lean back unconsciously and almost fall down.

"Of course not. Ever since the Saint Son passed away, I hate cars, but I just want him to come back."

So he built this robot. He had no reason to attack those irrelevant cars.

Araki and Kotaro looked at each other, and they both understood that if Shimada Shingo was not lying, then taking actions based on one's own likes and dislikes meant that it was really artificial intelligence!

"So where is the Son now?"

Shimada rubbed his hair in pain as he looked at the messy laboratory.

At first he thought it was done by the ZAT team, so he was very angry, but he realized that it was probably done by the Son of Heaven.

"I don't know. The experiment has never been successful. I came here once last week during the New Year, but the Son of God still didn't wake up. It wasn't until the Metropolitan Police Department published an advertisement in the newspaper that I learned that the Son of God had woken up and such a terrible thing had happened."

After seeing the news, he also thought about whether to call the police, but he couldn't make up his mind. Unexpectedly, his son Tatsuo ran to the ZAT team first to report.

He was a little angry, but after thinking it over, he let it go. The Holy Son had indeed caused trouble for everyone, and I heard that there were casualties.

Although he did not set up such a procedure, the Son was created by him and is his responsibility.

"There is one big question, Mr. Shimada? How did you make this robot?"

How is it made?

What kind of question is this? It was built like this. Shimada didn't realize anything was wrong.

He wanted his wife to continue to be with him, but he was not a god and could not bring the dead back to life, so he built a robot.

Is there anything incomprehensible here?

"I'm telling you, the various high technologies involved here are all things that humans haven't mastered yet, right? Not to mention artificial intelligence, how did you make those chips, parts, and bionic materials?"

Araki said as he looked around this so-called laboratory. There were no conditions here to process these materials.

Shimada wanted to answer. This was a very simple matter. Every step was clear in his mind.

But he suddenly got stuck.

Yeah, how did he make these things?

There was no doubt that these materials were made by him, and it took him three years. Even now, he could still clearly remember every part he had made in the past three years.

But why did he know this? He never doubted it, as if he took it for granted that he knew these things.

"I...I learned how to do it from a book."

"what book?"

Shimada had already realized that something was wrong, so he walked to the corner, looked around in a cabinet, and pulled out a thick tome.

"Robotics Engineering Tutorial?"

Araki took the book and took a look at it, only to find it baffling. It was not because he couldn't understand it, but because it was too simple.

This is basically a popular science book similar to "100,000 Whys". Although it is called a tutorial, it is not a professional book at all, but a popular science book for middle school students.

"Yes, I did it just as it is written here. Look, there are my notes in it."

The book was bought from the bookstore in town. The notes were indeed his, but is there any causal relationship?

A kindergarten kid took an addition table and gave the answer to the century's conjecture in one week.

Araki, Kotaro, and Ueno all found it incredible. Shimada's robot was not the result of Earth's existing technology at all, and the level of human artificial intelligence was far from reaching this level.

Otherwise, the TAC team wouldn't have had to use homing pigeons for a bionics experiment the year before last, and they ended up turning the pigeons into super beasts. If Kiji had this ability, the unmanned combat system would have taken off long ago. Even now, Kiji has not been able to invent a strong artificial intelligence with its own emotions.

Moreover, the energy system of this combat superhero who can lift the "Rabbit Bear" patrol car with one hand is even more of a mystery.

Shimada actually said that her energy source is solar energy, and that she can just bask in the sun. How could solar energy, which can support such power, be shrunk into such a life-sized body?

"Where are your design drawings?"

Blueprints? Shimada didn't have any blueprints at all, or rather, the blueprints were in his mind. He didn't need any blueprints to build and assemble each part.

But now, that memory had cast a shadow over him, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

Araki has given up.

"So, you yourself don't know where it's powered, right?"

Shimada wanted to say that he knew, because he had always believed that he was the one who resurrected his wife.

But he really didn't know.

"Maybe it's the soul. Madam Saint's soul is its energy source, and Mr. Shimada's love woke it up." Kotaro murmured.

"Kotaro, it would be a shame if you didn't write a novel."

But what they ZAT believe in is not fiction, but science.

"Mr. Shimada, you won't mind if we destroy that robot the next time it appears, right? You should understand that it is not a robot you built. It was created by aliens using your hands, with the purpose of causing trouble on Earth."

Shimada didn't say anything.

Not speaking is the default.

"By the way, Mr. Shimada, have you joined a club called 'The Truth Society'?"

"The Truth Society? Oh, you mean that one. They say you can get eggs if you participate in the parade, and they also give out supermarket coupons. I went there twice before, but then I thought it was weird, so I never went again."

It was an environmental protection society. Protecting the environment is of course a good thing, but they kept shouting "doom" all day long, which was very confusing.

Later, they said they wanted to coexist with all creatures on earth equally, but they even banned fishing. That made Mr. Shimada, a sea fishing enthusiast, even less interested.

No fishing? Then even eggs and supermarket coupons won't entice him anymore.

Chapter 483: Auto Expo

The reason why Araki asked about the Shinrikyo was because he heard Tatsuo say that his father had joined that society, so he just asked casually.

The Metropolitan Police Department has already investigated and found that there is indeed nothing wrong with the club. The founder, purpose of the club, and the way it operates are all not illegal.

It didn't ask people to pay, it didn't use physical punishment to control people's minds, and it didn't seduce female members. It didn't do anything that was against the law.

Apart from the strange way of activities, it is much cleaner than most clubs in Tokyo. It seems that it is just for promoting environmental protection.

Moreover, giving away eggs and supermarket coupons is so friendly to the people, there is no way such a thing can be suspicious.

So after asking casually, Araki put it out of his mind. What was important now was the robot woman that could destroy cars. Although it hadn't caused a big disaster yet, if it continued to do so, no one in Tokyo would dare to drive.

"Come on, Kotaro, we have to find that robot quickly."

The characteristics of a young woman in a wedding dress are relatively clear, but in this metropolis with a population of over a million, it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If the police want to find someone 50 years from now, they can just input a photo of the person and identify the person with facial recognition. If the person appears in front of the surveillance camera, they will call the police. There is no such convenient technology now.

In addition to making it known to the public so that citizens can notify the ZAT team as soon as they discover something, ZAT can only disperse and rely on manpower patrols.

"At this time, Nanyuan and Beidao are still in the hospital. It's really troublesome."

The ZAT team was already short of manpower, and now they have lost two people.

"Please let me go with you! I can also patrol, I want to go find that robot together!"

Seeing Tatsuo standing in front of the group of people, Araki subconsciously refused.

"Ridiculous, you are an ordinary citizen, how can you let ordinary citizens patrol together?"

"But, she is my mother and yet she is destroying things everywhere and doing such excessive things! I really can't accept this and I will never allow this!"

"Kotaro, you understand this feeling, right? You said on the ship before that you also lost your mother. If it were you, would you be able to bear it if someone used your mother's image to destroy things?"

Ten years ago, when a truck was about to crash into him due to fatigue driving and loss of control, it was his mother who protected him with her body.

So now he is still alive, but his mother is dead. His life is given by his mother!

It was given once when he was born, bringing him into this world. That was the second time! So he lived on in his mother's place!

Kotaro couldn't answer. If it was his mother, he really couldn't imagine it.

"But, even so..."

"Okay!" While Kotaro was in a dilemma, Araki made a decision, "But this is very dangerous. Do you have a weapon?"

"Yes, I have a shotgun!"

"Then you and we will search separately."

"Is this okay, vice-captain?" Looking at Tatsuo who left in a hurry, Kotaro couldn't understand the vice-captain's decision.

"Even if we don't agree, he will go find it himself. We can't tie him up. He's not driving, so he shouldn't be in danger."

That being said, the robot only attacks cars.

Kotaro and Araki drove the patrol car, while Ueno cruised in the sky in the Condor.

If the enemy cannot be stopped in a short time and another attack occurs, the entire Tokyo may have to ban cars.

In order to eliminate Mahrez, a super beast who hates noise and high speed, the TAC team once stopped the Shinkansen and airplanes, which caused a lot of trouble and losses. If the disaster continues to spread and stops all cars in Tokyo, the whole city will collapse.

"Kotaro, where do you think it will be?"

Araki remembered that the captain once said that Kotaro was the last insurance. He felt that he understood the meaning of this sentence to some extent.

Kotaro is now much more reliable than when he first joined the team.

"As I recall, from today to the day after tomorrow, Arakawa is going to hold the World Auto Expo?"

It seems to be true! The Metropolitan Police Department has been busy with security work for a while. American, German, Italian, and other major car dealers from all over the world will come to the exhibition.

Because it had nothing to do with their ZAT, they had not paid much attention to it before. Now that Kotaro mentioned it, Araki also remembered it.

If you think about it carefully, if you want to attack the car, that place is indeed the last possibility!
