Chapter 70: Testing

After attaching his spine to himself, Xiang Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This hour seemed like a year long to him.

As the metal arm was released, he fell on the operating table, but in the next second, he used the power of the tail vertebrae to maintain his balance steadily.

"Pain, pain, pain, pain......" If you can still keep tears, Xiang Shan will definitely cry out in pain at this moment. It's true. It's a terrible feeling. It doesn't feel like physical pain, but it feels like a phantom pain all over the body.

However, with this feeling, Xiangshan is generally relieved.

This proves that the surgery was successful.

"Pain, pain, pain...... Since it's successful, don't waste it. No matter how strong the ability to resist injury is, there is no way to stop the existing wound from cracking. Xiang Shan ordered the robotic arm of the operating table to lift itself up and transfer it to the prosthetic body that had just been prepared.

At the same time, the resetter quickly removed the spare hands and feet on the tattered prosthesis of Xiangshan's original and connected it with the new prosthesis.

Whether it is a prosthetic leg with artificial muscle fibers or a prosthetic hand with a high-frequency oscillating sounder, it is not on Xiang Shan's body. The former is not necessary to use for the time being, while the latter is not yet ready. Xiang Shan's hands and feet are still the kind of miscellaneous cards.

As soon as they connected, the prosthetic body shook its hands and feet like Parkinson's.

Xiangshan tried to move his hands and feet. But as soon as the foot is raised, it loses its balance. The automatic balancing system instantly takes over while confirming that Xiang Shan has no intention of "actively lying down". Xiang Shan sank his body slightly, and stood firmly.

"Nima ......" Xiang Shan instinctively wanted to take a deep breath and slow down his emotions, but found that he really had no lungs. He quickly switched to remote control, and the prosthetic hands and feet stopped shaking.

"Well, the surgery was a success, but the nerve itself was damaged and it took a little time to re-establish the pathway." Xiang Shan switches his left hand from remote mode to direct mode. His hands were still shaking. He switched back again.

"It's a bit miserable to meet EMP during this time." Xiang Shan muttered to himself. In that case, he had to stay away from the corridor anyway.

Since he couldn't spare people to defend against the minions who were returning home one after another, he buried mines in the corridor, leaving only a path with seven twists and turns.

And in order to avoid the dilemma of "blowing up the passage and making it impossible for him to leave", he used of course EMP mines - this kind of good thing that has almost no harm to natural people, but it is accurate for prosthetic people who have not done a good job of electromagnetic protection. Those minions with low prosthetics should be guarded against the destruction of the heart and lungs to the point of downtime [you can't expect the flesh and skin of a natural person to act as a Faraday cage], and those with high prosthetics should be careful of the fragile chips.

In the past two days, those EMP mines have been blowing up non-stop, but Xiang Shan really didn't see any minions coming in.

But it may be that the corpse in the corridor made the later minions realize that something was wrong and run away directly. In short, no one has come back for the last six hours.

Xiangshan's prosthetic body has done a good job of electromagnetic protection. There are several independent structures inside, which ensure resistance to electromagnetic pulses.

But that's also based on direct connections of nerve signals in the spine.

The chip in the brain is remotely controlled, and the wireless signal will naturally be covered by the electromagnetic pulse.

- At least stay away from the electromagnetic pulse for a few days......

Then, it is time to confirm the problem of the prosthetic parts one by one.

[Hardware self-test program, startup]

On the surface of the mountain's body, the outer armor changes gently like water waves. At the same time, presumably in the back, about the location of the shoulder blades of a natural person, two cameras hidden between the gaps in the armor were restarted.

Xiang Shan's prosthetic vision is wider than that of a natural person, and the viewing angle of the normal state is close to 200 degrees. The eyes can also be easily steered independently, and the maximum viewing angle is 260 degrees. But even so, it leaves a blind spot with a vision of 100 degrees to 160 degrees behind it.

This blind spot can be eliminated by relying on the ability of drones or public cameras to see and hear, and in addition, the self-centered extra field of view is too contrary to human instinct, so not everyone will choose to add additional cameras to their field of vision. Even if you add it, the range of applications of this camera is very narrow.

But Xiang Shan felt that it was better to be prepared.

Martial arts have developed to the point where you are today, and you have no idea what kind of opponent you are facing, and what kind of neurotic design scheme its prosthetic body is.

Anyway, you're ready for anything.

Although his memory is gone, Xiang Shan can basically confirm that he is used to all kinds of prosthetics in the long-term battle. "Counterintuitive vision" is also a piece of cake for yourself.

Xiang Shan looked at the operating table again with a complicated expression: "Then again, this is also a good thing." ”

It's not something you can come across very often, either.

The base human has an excellent ability to resist damage, and the enzyme system, which is different from the earth's biosphere, and the body temperature is much higher than that of the natural environment, which also brings the benefit of "protopathogen cannot be infected". Therefore, the requirements for "surgery" of a baseline person are much lower than that of a natural person.

Let's just put it this way, as long as you don't poke around in your head, then a baseline person basically won't die. Even if it is bleeding profusely and the blood is drained, you still have time to calmly sew up the wound and inject artificial blood.

If a small-town folk doctor like Dr. Schultz were to rest his skills on Homo sapiens, he would assure him that he would cure one death and all patients would die from massive bleeding/non-healing wounds/post-operative infections.

But in this day and age, Dr. Schultz can even perform a craniotomy.

It can be seen from this that most of the self-proclaimed doctors in this era will not have too strong medical skills - after all, patients will not have high requirements for this.

And the surgical conditions are naturally very poor.

This operating table is different. This is also the technique of the Demon Cult.

The Demon Cult explores the "relationship between the structure of the brain and the human spirit", and brain modification surgery is certainly not less. Judging from the connection between the cephalopod ganglia and the brain on Glyad's body, they also have a deep study of biological modification technology.

It is foreseeable that unless it is a research institute of the government, Xiang Shan will not find better conditions for surgery than this.

If you want to remove the flexible electrodes from that girl's skull, this is the best place to go.

"It looks like we really need to take a moment off to study the techniques of the Demon Cult."

Xiang Shan began to check the progress of the schedule.

"Because the printer is so powerful, the prosthesis time is a day earlier than expected. Then the hardware upgrade of the donkey is almost good, and the next thing is the software upgrade, as well as the test. Other than that, there is nothing more. ”

"Adjust the pace again. After testing the donkey, he read a little about the magic cult techniques and found out how to cure the little girl. ”

Xiang Shan nodded and walked down.

……………………………………………………………………

At this time, the appearance of the "donkey" also changed dramatically. It's no longer a postmodern work of "one iron rod against a bunch of prosthetic eyes, two pairs of legs carrying a pair of bodies".

Except that the control system is still the same, it has basically changed. It is a two-metre-high, three-metre-wide, six-metre-long enclosed space topped with slightly camouflaged photovoltaic panels. If the 12 square meters of photovoltaic panels are completely exposed, they will definitely be noticed by the satellite, so most of the time, there will be camouflage cloth as a cover. However, it can still be released to generate electricity if necessary.

In addition, the armor plates on the left and right sides also left openable firing ports.

Underneath it are four pairs of tires, each with a folded prosthetic leg that lifts the body over difficult terrain if necessary.

The number of donkeys' prosthetic eyes has increased to ten. There are two pairs in the front and one in the back, and three on the left and right, so they have an all-round view and can make simple judgments about the terrain. At the same time, the prosthetic eye in the rear can observe the sky, confirm the bearing with an electronic sextant, and correct the line.

However, it is really not very beautiful for a boxy thing to run outside like this. Xiang Shan thought a few times about whether to find a highly modified vehicle-type prosthetic, and welded it to the front as the front of the car after taking off his head.

But if you think about it carefully, you are a generation of heroes, not a villain necromancer, so it's better not to weld the enemy's corpse to the car.

Also based on the same reasoning, Xiang Shan did not install a "weapon of automatic fire" on the roof of the car.

He didn't know much about the times, and he couldn't write a program that could distinguish friend from foe. If an automatic weapon kills an innocent person by mistake, it is a big bad thing, and it will pay for it.

Yuki looked at the car, and his psychology was indescribably satisfied. At his feet, the young girl grabbed his calf and looked at the cart too. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she was in a good mood to see Yuki quite happy.

When the distance from Xiangshan was less than ten meters, she didn't cry, which can be said to have given enough face.

"Master, do you really want to test like that?" Yuki was a little worried: "You have mines in the tunnel, right?" What should I do if it's broken? ”

"It's better to break down now when you have resources than to lie down halfway." Shaking his head towards the mountain.

This test is mainly divided into two steps. In the first step, the donkey automatically designs the path according to the mine division map and tunnel map given to the mountain, finds a safe way to go out, and then returns. If this task can be completed, it means that it is indeed possible to move with the AI with supplies.

The second cloth is to test its resistance to EMP.

It is important to know that this vehicle is to store precision instruments and electronic equipment in the future. If it is swept by EMP and causes damage to the materials, it will really be a cry without tears.

The object of inspection is an authentic EMP mine.

Xiangshan will turn on the bandits' local game console and throw it in, and then deliberately let the donkey go to the EMP mine.

Yuki sighed. This was the first fruit of his labor.

Xiang Shan started the donkey without saying anything.

The donkey rushed out of the gate.

Xiang Shan rubbed his chin printed yesterday: "The starting speed is okay, but it's not fully loaded, and the maximum time is less than 80 kilometers......"
