Chapter 57: The Mystery of the Anomaly
Who the hell are you?
Xiang Shan had to face this problem again.
Although his memory told him that he was Martial Ancestor Xiangshan. But the problem is that he doesn't seem to have any other evidence to prove it other than this memory.
On the contrary, there seems to be plenty of evidence that he is most likely not the legendary figure.
According to the story that has been passed down in later generations, Wuzu Xiangshan was killed by the power of the government at the end of the Battle of Shenghua, just to leave a decent face for this heroic figure in the past, so the government has not announced the specific process.
The memories that flashed back in Xiang Shan's own mind also confirmed this - he was indeed taken out by the enemy back then, so he was finally defeated.
And after the energy device was destroyed, he should not have the ability to escape.
Nor should you wake up in a garbage dump hundreds of years later.
Of course, one thing is certain, Xiang Shan definitely did not "grow" back after being beaten to the point that only cells remained.
There are three reasons for this.
First of all, his prosthetic eye is a genuine electron-optical device, non-living organism. His skull is also a high-tech alloy.
It is impossible for cells to regenerate to grow these things.
Secondly, his regenerative ability is not completely regenerated, but a disease of uncontrollable bodily functions.
Normally, you don't need as many receptors in your spine. The vast majority of human tissues do not have tactile receptors.
If his brain is really destroyed, then according to this regenerative ability, it will only be possible to regrow a malformed neural network, not an ordered brain.
On top of that, his brain has partial memory.
Under the current technology system, there is still no way to inherit such a thing as "memory".
So Xiang Shan can be sure that this biological brain must have been possessed by someone in the past.
But this "person" may not be "Martial Ancestor Xiangshan".
The reason is simple. Xiang Shan found "his" memories in the hands of the "Demon Sect".
This at least shows one point - the real Martial Ancestor Xiangshan has preserved his memories in some form. This memory even fell into the hands of a low-level green forest.
In other words, the way to obtain the memory of the "True Martial Ancestor Xiangshan" may not be so rare.
On the other hand, the "symptoms" mentioned by Huang Coupling also gave Xiang Shan Xiangqi another thing.
Xiang Shan has also seen a successful case where nerves and electronic components are entangled.
"Serial missile" Glyard.
After Xiang Shan defeated the Green Forest bandit, he lifted his back cover to find that his nervous system interacted with special electronic components.
It's just that in Xiang Shan's view, this is true and cannot be regarded as an efficient way of thinking.
The natural body is evolved, accumulating a large number of evolutionary defects left by the idea of "just use it".
In this sense, the creator is indeed the same as the programmer. Third-rate programmers never care why and how their programs work, whether the code is concise and beautiful, and whether it will cause trouble to the next development work.
The same is true of the evolutionary process. As long as the negative traits of an animal do not prevent it from living to the age of having children, then evolution will not bother with this defect. If a negative trait is particularly attractive to the opposite sex, then evolution will further reinforce the negative trait in order to accomplish the task of "making the creature have children", ignoring how the negative trait will cause "subsequent updates".
In this regard, there must be a lot to say about the bighorn deer that became extinct because the horns were too large, and the protruding eyeflies, which had a population that was almost losing flies to the order Diptera because the eye stalks were too long.
Programmers refer to the code that has been handed down several years ago, with an endless stream of old bugs and annotations written like a book of heaven, as "mountains".
Today, every higher species that has undergone hundreds of millions of years of evolution is counted as one, and its genetic information is like a "mountain of".
If a highly intelligent creature treats the genetic information of a species as a product, then he will find that the design product is full of weirdness, and he cannot understand why it is designed in this way.
And if he knocks out a gene, it may cause the collapse of the entire living system.
Want to refactor...... Hardly possible.
The mechanical products designed by humans are like new programs rewritten, small and beautiful, and the fault tolerance rate may be far less than that of the "mountain", but it is very easy to modify, no matter what new features you want to add, it is easy.
Therefore, it is not convenient to let the body adapt to the machine.
Adapting the machine to the brain is the idea of prosthetic development.
Of course, the only exception is "internal strength". The cultivation of internal strength and the birth of Saussure's Divine Domain are the result of the specialization of a brain and the adaptation of computers.
But this is based on the fact that the human brain has a little bit of an intrinsic advantage in the computational structure.
That is, "the human brain has the potential to go beyond the Turing machine".
And the martial arts of the Demon Sect may be based on this idea.
It's just that the practice of entangling neurons with electronic components makes Xiang Shan feel that it is not very efficient.
If it's a product of Demon Cult technology. It may be possible to have this technology that causes nerve cells to grow abnormally.
No, rather, this is a necessary skill for the Demon Cult.
For the record, Glyard was only remodeled a few years ago.
In other words, the neural network, which is entangled with electronic components, grows within a few years.
Of course, there are also viruses and hormones that play a role. However, if there is no specific gene therapy in advance, the average person will not have such abnormal growth even if they receive those viruses and hormones.
It's just that there's a problem here.
"What kind of gene therapy did I receive back then......
Xiang Shan muttered to himself.
He was supposed to be receiving a beta version of metal-based gene therapy.
The alpha version of this technique, is carried out on animals. After more than a dozen rhesus macaques completed this transformation process, some humans impatiently applied it to their own bodies.
After the strengths of the benchmark were identified, a number of researchers volunteered.
This can be regarded as the "welfare" of that research institution.
After all, under that version, a single gene therapy would cost tens of millions of dollars for medical staff and pharmaceuticals. The large amount of precious potions consumed in this process, limited by the preparation method, are more expensive than the same weight of gold. The average researcher may not be able to afford the price.
The longer lifespan of the metal-based transformation, as well as the secondary development of the brain, are extremely tempting for these scholars.
In this batch of clinical trials, the order of Xiang Shan is not high.
And because the version is very primitive, the genetic information obtained by these forerunners does have some "unknown codes of unknown meaning that are not useful or not".
In the release of therapeutics to the general public, the genomes of unknown significance have been removed.
On the one hand, it is to enhance controllability, and on the other hand, it is also to conserve resources.
After all, to have an extra piece of redundant information in a cell means to consume a little more when the cell divides.
When those pioneers started this plan, they had the consideration of "saving resources" in it.
Of course, the genetic information implanted by the beta version of therapy in the Forerunners may indeed bring some special abilities.
For example, this repairing abnormal growth phenomenon in Xiangshan.
Perhaps to some of the older generations, this is a positive trait.
In many cases, it is not a positive trait. Because this abnormal growth is so fast, nerve cells can easily invade electronic devices, causing signal confusion or even short circuits.
For prosthetic people, it increases the cost of maintaining prosthetics out of thin air.
In normal gene therapy, this trait is definitely going to be eliminated.
So, there's a mysterious question.
Is this trait on Xiang Shan's body from the Demon Sect?
Or is it simply the other way around, and the Demon Sect got the relevant information from the cells of the "Martial Ancestor Xiangshan"?
Xiang Shan kept thinking about it, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted.
"Senpai? Predecessor? Cui Ji called twice, and then Xiang Shan was called back from his thoughts.
"Oh, I'm listening." Xiang Shan nodded, and quickly went through the auditory information stored in his mind.
He and Choi were searching the surrounding roads.
Deborah's memories gave him the certainty of entering the hinterland of the government and killing Apennine Zhao.
But Xiang Shan didn't plan to be Jing Ke. There are so many tyrants in this world, it is not enough to kill one, so you must not play the game of "the strong man is gone and will never return".
He needed a way out.
But that's not what Deborah can offer.
After all, you can't expect the lord's daughter to evade the military and electromagnetic cannon defenses every time she leaves the formation.
Xiang Shan's original intention was to find the local gangsters and dig out some information from their brains.
But somehow, so far, he hasn't really caught a weighty gangster.
In this era, with the help of information systems, the management of gangsters is gradually flattened, and it is of little significance to seize a peripheral element.
So that day, he let go of the service station owner and asked the boss to pass the word.
Unexpectedly, when I came back today, I found that the owner of the service station had changed people quietly, and there was not even a prosthetic warrior with a full transformation rate at the scene.
This is a clear abandonment of this industry.
Xiang Shan was a little annoyed by this. He felt that this gang was a monster who didn't give face.
Think about it! A mixed club, who was slapped in the face, didn't even think about beating back! What is this still like! What a club!
But since this road is not passable, then Xiangshan has to find another way.
At this time, Cui Yu suddenly said that he had seen the distress code commonly used in the Northland martial arts and wanted to take a look.
The two were on the way to follow the intelligence, but Xiang Shan fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Cui Ji couldn't help but say, "Are the seniors worried about their condition?" ”
