Chapter 358: Boredom Waiting
"So let's do it for now. Whether the other party is a good person or a bad person, Sangsang we must not let go. Didn't you say that Sangsang would awaken when he became an adult? When the time comes, when she awakens, let her choose for herself. For the Sangsang you said that adulthood would not be said to wait until she was eighteen years old, right? The scavenger asked.
Based on Sangsang's current intelligence and physical development, he can only be regarded as eight years old. However, this eight-year-old is no longer the eight-year-old that will not change at all and will not grow up for decades. Probably because of staying with humans, the intelligence in Sangsang's brain and the cells of the human brain began to merge. Sangsang has now begun to grow.
Although the intelligence of the mechanical family is fused with the human brain, the evolution of intelligence in the best case is only one-tenth of the evolution rate of the human brain. But this rate of brain evolution does not affect Sangsang's physical growth. Therefore, apart from the constantly fused intelligence in his brain, Sangsang is no different from an ordinary eight-year-old child in other aspects.
So if we divide it according to the stage of human growth, the government now stipulates that the standard of adolescent adulthood is 16 years old. In this case, it will take eight years for Sangsang to become an adult. Eight years of instant time, which is not so fast in a Destiny game that is twice as fast as the outside.
"Not really, there is no time limit for the coming of age of the mechanical aristocratic class. Because they judge the standard of adulthood according to the degree of integration of intelligence and the human brain, as long as the degree of integration reaches 60 percent, it is considered adulthood. The current degree of integration between Sangsang and Sangsang is about 10%.
And there is no routine to follow for this fusion, not that there must be more integration over a long period of time. This is a bit like the epiphany in the monk's mouth, which means that if Sangsang suddenly opens her mind today, and the integration of intelligence and brain reaches 60%, then she will be considered a direct adult from the age of eight. ”
"What about the body? If Sangsang suddenly opened his mind, he would not start from an 8-year-old girl. All of a sudden, she became a 16-year-old girl, right? The scavenger was a little stunned by the division of the mechs in terms of adult standard growth.
"If nutrition is provided sufficiently, there is no shortage of cases in the history of the automatons of a child of a few years old who suddenly became an adult. It's like your body evolving, except that your evolution gets enough energy to replenish and stabilize the inside. And what is stable in the mechanical family is the appearance. If Sangsang suddenly opens up, as long as the nutritional supplement is sufficient. She has indeed grown from an eight-year-old child to a 16-year-old girl all at once. This way of growing up is really weird. ”
Peach Blossom Eyes also felt a little unbelievable, but the history of the nobility of the mechanical race before the Great Destruction Era that he was holding in his hand at this time was indeed like this. Before the Great Apocalypse, the growth of the automata did make many races feel strange. Because their age division is based on the degree of integration of function and brain.
Some of the nobles of the mechanical clan are in the state of babies from birth to death, because the fusion degree of intelligence and brain is 1% from birth, and this fusion degree does not grow. His body can't grow, but his lifespan follows a certain trajectory. Even if his body doesn't change, he will still die when his life comes to an end.
This discovery caused a lot of sensation at the time, especially when it came to women. Because youth is something that all women dream of. All women are full of fear about their aging years. Therefore, as soon as this way of growth of the cyborg came out, the eyes of human women lit up like evil wolves.
They even frantically want to fuse their own intelligence to get such a way of growth, and then stop fusing their brains and intelligence when they reach 60%. In this way, from adulthood to death, their appearance will be in the mood for love. There will be no signs of age.
Some genetic beauty before the Great Destruction Era, intelligent beauty was studied according to the growth principle of the mechanical family. However, these are all things in the past, and as for whether this situation will develop in the future, it has nothing to do with the things that the scavengers care about, and the scavengers don't think about it deeply.
But imagine the baby who was still in your arms the day before. If you suddenly open your mind while sleeping, you will wake up the next day and see a young girl in your arms. It's a little wicked, and it's a bit of a hell.
"Let's do this first. Wait until Sangsang is an adult. Inform Saker that he is sending some security guards to Sansanga, regardless of whether he wants the cyborgs in the academy to be good or bad. We all have to ensure that Sangsang's safety is foolproof. The scavenger shook his head, shook some small evil images out of his head, and said.
"I know this. But I didn't dare to sleep with Sangsang in my arms in the future. Peach Blossom Eyes seemed to have thought of the picture of Sangsang suddenly becoming a girl, and she couldn't help but feel a little chilly. It seems that because of the lack of parental love since childhood, and the reason for decades of drifting in the wild.
After finding a sense of security and belonging, Sangsang is particularly clingy, although Sangsang is very obedient and never cries. Every day, I go to class on time to rest, eat, and my academic performance is also good. A well-behaved baby in anyone's eyes. But if there is an opportunity. Sangsang likes to sleep with peach blossom eyes, and sometimes he will hold it quietly and quietly, and the water marriage. Or maybe the scavengers sleep.
However, because the scavenger was too busy, the marriage between Youyou Jingran and the water was added later. Although Sangsang knew that these two women were friends of Peach Blossom Eyes and Scavengers, he had no defense against them and played with them. But it's not as familiar as Peach Blossom Eye and Scavengers. So when he sleeps, Sangsang still likes to pestering peach blossom eyes and scavengers. In this way, because the scavenger is too busy, the chance of Sangsang getting peach blossom eyes has increased a lot.
So whenever there is a school holiday, or a parent-teacher meeting, a spring outing or something. They all accompanied Sangsang with peach blossom eyes, and the children lived with their parents during the spring outing. Sangsang naturally slept with Peach Blossom Eyes. However, it is estimated that until the way the mechanical clan grows up, Peach Blossom Eyes should not be able to treat Sangsang as a child when he sleeps. That's why the peach blossom eyes will be cold at this time.
The call scavenger who turned off the peach blossom eye thought about it, and felt that Sangsang's matter could not be solved in a day or two, unless Sangsang suddenly opened his mind. So he put this matter aside and continued to kill the monster, while paying attention to the situation of the black giant ape in the cave. I don't know if it's because rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, or for some other reason.
In addition to the fact that there are some horrors in the valley, many monsters actively avoid the area inhabited by the black storm giant ape, and many monsters are active here when they leave the valley for a kilometer. However, these monsters are small, and none of the large ones can be found. And these monsters have no worries about the tyrannical black giant ape living next to them, and may use them as food at any time. is still living a good life. This keeps the scavenger's surveillance life from being bored crouching in a corner guarding the electronic device.
But thinking about the large bones in the valley of the black giant ape, the scavenger had some clarity in his heart. Because the food needed by the huge black storm giant ape is also huge, if you catch a smaller monster and eat it, it will not only waste time, but it is estimated that a bunch of small monsters will not be enough for the black storm giant ape to eat.
What the black giant ape needs is to shorten the hunting time, because it needs to hurry back to the cave to guard the chalcedony. Therefore, the monsters around the black storm giant ape are large and disappearing. And the small monsters live like they don't have anything to do.
However, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the black storm giant ape, the scavenger did not dare to kill the monsters around him, and after killing the monster for a while, he stopped, and then bored to find a corner and squatted somewhere to look at the electronic device and wait for the black storm giant ape to come out to hunt.
"Are you sure that little girl is the one we're looking for?" In the student dormitory of Hope Academy, five mechanics with a metallic sheen all over their bodies sat together. A large man with a metal body glowing black, a little stronger than the other mechanics, sat on the main seat. His face was hard and metal, and he couldn't show a trace of expression, and his mood at this time could not be seen on his face. However, in those laser-like eyes, the glittering gaze swept over the four robots present with solemnity.
"We can't be sure, we just got some news and wanted to confirm it. But it was discovered, and after that, they strengthened the protection of the little girl, and we had no way to get closer to confirm it. And we can't be tough. Although Hope City has laws we can not follow. As long as that little girl is the person we want, we can take it back to our territory. But the little girl's guardian scavenger is a bit difficult to deal with, and I am afraid of bringing some disaster to our people. A robot who had appeared in the Sangsang residential community spoke, his eyes were also very solemn.
"Hurry up and confirm that there is a fault line in our aristocracy after the Great Collapse. Aristocracy is our only hope for evolution, because the intelligent race has a huge database since its birth, but it is difficult to evolve. That's why we give up our natural metal body and merge with the human brain.
This little girl if we are the one we are looking for. That will be the hope for the rise of our race. And now it's not just us who are looking for the aristocracy, but the other mechanical races. Especially those who are in opposition are also looking. The news that the little girl was a nobleman of our clan was obtained from the opposition. They were already one step ahead of us, but they seemed to be stopped by the scavengers. But it is possible that the forces in other races have also gotten the news, and we must speed up to confirm it. ”
"We can't just talk to the scavengers and work together. After all, if the little girl is the person we are looking for, it will only be useful to us. And we can make her grow better. The scavenger guardian does not have any objective interests, and if we give enough benefits in exchange, the scavenger should agree. ”
"No, I can't. Humans are despicable. They are full of hatred for us mechanical races, and if the hope of the continuation of our superior race is in his hands, he doesn't know what excessive demands he will make. And if he uses this as a threat, then we can only cast a mouse, and maybe even this strength will become his vassal. ”
"I also don't agree to a showdown with this human. From the information we are investigating now. We can't see through the scavenger at all. It is not in our interest to work with someone who is unknown and unable to discern his temperament. ”
"It's true that there can't be a showdown, this matter can only be side-facing. Now our focus is not on how to get that little girl named Sangsang from the scavengers. It's about how to face up to the fact that this little girl named Sangsang is the person we are looking for. Once this is confirmed, we can proceed to the next step. The Great Han Cyborg said.
"But it seems impossible to hide, according to what I have just learned. In the library of Hope Academy, there seems to be a lot of historical records from before the Great Destruction Era. Some of the accounts of our mechanical family are very detailed. And in this part there are records of the high nobles of our clan. A cyborg spoke, and the room fell silent for a moment.
As the sun sets, a scavenger sits in a corner and nibbles on a piece of dry food. No, I raised my hand as if I was looking at the time on my wrist. Look at the surveillance footage on the electronic device, and then boredly chew on the dry food in your mouth. It's been a whole day, except for waking up in the middle of the cave and drinking a few sips of chalcedony in the small pool, and then continuing to sleep. There was not the slightest intention of getting out of the cave.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a large piece of animal bones thrown in the valley, and that the scavenger had just entered the valley and saw a bloody skeleton with clear tooth marks on it, it proved that the black giant ape had just finished eating. The scavengers thought that the black giant ape only drank chalcedony and ate nothing else.
"A tiger can go days without eating after a full meal. As long as you drink a certain amount of water every day, you can do it. Could it be that this giant ape can go without food for several days after eating a meal? Looking at the giant ape who was still asleep, the scavenger shook his head a little speechlessly.
While being a good soldier doesn't make the scavenger lose patience with this little bit of spending, boredom is a sure. After all, a person crouching in a corner doing the same thing all day long will be bored as long as it is an individual.
The night passed quickly, during which the scavenger went offline and ate a quick meal to fill his stomach. Then I didn't even go to the toilet and re-entered the game. However, after not killing the monster, the scavenger did not hide two kilometers away from the cave, but hid next to the cave and was ready to enter at any time.
After the fourth step of the body's evolution was completed, the scavenger found that he had much more control over his body. For example, when there is nothing to do, the scavenger can eat a lot of things, and then compress the absorbed energy in the body to prevent it from being transformed, and not to let it turn into fat.
Because there is a time limit for the conversion of body fat, after all, people need to release the energy in fat to maintain good health, and it is impossible to change from a fat person to a thin person all at once. This process of emaciation takes a long time to go on little by little. In this case, people do not die of hunger. But it is also impossible to get huge energy from fat as an exertion for some intense exercise.
But the scavenger reserve is different, and the scavenger's reserve is like a camel drinking water before entering the desert. These people are not transformed by the camel, but are stored in a water bag inside the camel's body, which can be taken out and used directly when needed. This intermediate transformation takes a very fast time, unlike the release of fat that takes a long time as a buffer, and it is a passive release that the body urgently needs and cannot be actively operated.
Of course, after completing the fourth step of evolution, the scavenger has obtained more research into the mysteries of the body than that. There are other aspects as well. However, these take time to digest, and the scavenger can only look for something that can be of great help to him to digest first. Those have a smaller effect. It's a bit more cumbersome to wait until later. In fact, not only the scavenger's body, but also the development of the scavenger's brain domain also has a lot of energy that can be used that has not been mined by the scavenger.
Li Lao and Mo Lao reminded the scavengers not to be greedy for merit, in addition to the fear that the scavengers' foundation would be unstable. The indigestion of the fruit obtained over a long period of time is also a crisis, just as a person is constantly eating without digesting it. Not only does the body not get enough nutrients, but so many things accumulate in the stomach is also a big hidden danger.
And after controlling this kind of energy storage, it is really of great help to the scavenger. For example, if there is nothing urgently needed. Scavengers can generally store this energy for about three days. These three days are three days in reality, six days in the game. After three days, the scavenger can choose to convert this stored energy into fat, or he can release it directly.
Storing the energy necessary for the body for three days is not the end of this ability. It's just a starting point, because when you find yourself in control of the energy you absorb from food. The scavenger can only coarsely store this energy for a few hours and less than half a day. With continuous in-depth research, it can already be stored up to three days, and this time will definitely increase as the research continues.
The scavenger has a hunch that when he studies this ability to the point where he can directly transform into fat, it is estimated to be a qualitative breakthrough. At that time, the process of converting fat into energy can be actively controlled by the scavenger. The storage of time is definitely a qualitative leap, because a fat person can be fat for a lifetime, not a few days of fat and then lose weight. At that time, after the scavenger eats a big meal to store energy, it is not impossible not to eat for half a month, a month, or even a few months. However, this situation is not possible until the advanced stage of mastery. (To be continued......)
