Xiang Shan realized a very important point.

The pair of prosthetic eyes he is using now are the pair that disappeared with Wu Zu Xiangshan when he was the "only defeat" back then.

At the end of the Sublimation War, Takezu Xiangshan, with the help of "someone", attacked the space fleet of the Father of Ten Thousand Machines and carried out decapitation tactics. However, in the end, he was outnumbered and defeated.

It is said that only the asylum seekers saw that scene.

There is a legend in the rivers and lakes that in that war, the flagships of the father of all machines fell.

This is the instrument that comes closest to success among the Martial God Eleven defeats.

Of course, there are also those who believe that the subsequent assassination "in front of the throne" is the closest to success.

It's just that Wu Zu's "only defeat" was only witnessed by people on the side of the asylum.

There is no video material. The Father of Ten Thousand Machines and the "kings" who participated in the rush to the aid in this battle and were later promoted only said that Xiangshan was indeed executed.

And now, the pair of prosthetic eyes that disappeared with the disappearance of Wu Zu Xiangshan have reappeared.

But that still doesn't mean anything.

Now even if this "Xiang Shan" has these eyes, has the DNA of Wu Zu Xiang Shan, and even has memories, he may not be able to identify him as Xiang Shan.

It is better to say that the suspicion that he is "not Xiangshan" has increased.

Since these eyes fell with the Martial Ancestor, it was very likely that they had fallen into the hands of the Protector.

Xiang Shan thought for a moment and asked, "So...... Did Xiang Shan also donate DNA data? 】

[All of us, the recipients of the in-house beta modified surgery, have donated their genetic data for study.] Tao Enhai looked at Xiang Shan, and there was no trace of emotion in his tone.

[Aha. Is that true, it's not difficult to make a clone? Xiang Shan nodded: [Use Xiang Shan's genetic factors to clone stem cells, and then induce differentiation into a nervous system, and then continue to enter Wu Zu Xiang Shan's memories, develop a personality close to Xiang Shan, and then extract the hard disk that stores memories. Finally, give these prosthetic eyes. An infinitely close to the original Xiangshan is done. 】

And the reason why Tao Enhai wanted to ask "whether he used his internal strength under the siege of Tiehua" just now was probably to confirm whether this Xiangshan was under remote control.

In addition to the secret forbidden technique of "Little Brother", in the public's cognition, it is impossible to use internal strength for false personality overlay.

However, this is not absolute either. If there is an interface in the background of a pseudo-personality overlay that can send data to the internal power master on standby on the synchronization track, then it is not impossible to simulate the internal strength.

It's just that this kind of concocted "master of internal strength" will be exposed in the area of Tiehua or other electromagnetic signal shielding.

So Tao Enhai eagerly confirmed this.

If Xiang Shan hadn't come when he assassinated Balbo, I'm afraid Tao Enhai wouldn't have given up.

[This should only mean that I am not a fake personality covering, and it does not mean that I am safe now, right?] Xiang Shan Dao: [What if there are other backdoor programs in my body? 】

Although Xiang Shan remembers, he has a biological brain. But it is also possible that it is camouflaged, and what is really active may not be the biological part of the brain, but the chip hidden inside the biological brain.

Or, that chip can snatch control of the prosthetic body at the joint moment and deliver a fatal blow to the knight.

From Tao Enhai's professional point of view, this is not nonsense.

[Your internal skills, although you are relatively backward in thinking, are still very strong in skills. If such a person is really allowed to enter the electromagnetic signal shielding area, the possibility of losing control is not small. As long as you're aware of that, you'll do everything in your power to remove the back door from yourself - and, as far as you can remember, you woke up with no electronic devices at all. Tao Enhai sneered: [If that kind of backdoor program really existed, I'm afraid it would have been unplugged by yourself a long time ago. 】

[So, is it possible that I am the original Xiangshan?] 】

[No way!] 】

Tao Enhai instantly denied it.

It's weird no matter how you think about it. How could a man who had been executed more than 200 years ago appear out of thin air?

How could Xiang Shan have escaped with one head—a head without power?

Moreover, even if he really escaped back then, how did he survive these two hundred years?

- No, no......

Tao Enhai suddenly realized something.

This incident was like a flint and steel, and a series of "ecstasy" sparked in his heart—though it was insignificant compared to the darkness. But...... But......

- Think about it carefully...... Think about it......

Tao Enhai looked at Xiang Shan.

- The reason why corpses decay is because of the large number of bacteria in the human body......

When humans are alive, bacteria are controlled by the immune system. If a symbiotic microorganism invades the body, or if there are too many of them, the immune system strikes.

However, when a person dies, the immune system fails.

Therefore, the human corpse will become a huge medium made of protein and fat accumulation.

This, in turn, attracts a large number of scavengers.

But......

Baseline man can be said not to be a creature of the Earth's protosphere.

The original bacteria of the earth could not decompose the corpse of a base man.

Most of the decomposers who can decompose metal-based organisms are the product of genetic engineering.

Tao Enhai remembers that all kinds of metal-based decomposers that now exist in the wild are the result of microbial rewilding in the civilian biological resource recovery system—that is, the same thing that Yuki used to dispose of the brains of the dead.

These things were born long after Martial Ancestor Xiangshan's "only defeat".

As for parasites targeting baseline humans, or other metal-based wildlife, they have only been born in the last hundred years.

And Wuzu Xiangshan was also a prosthetic person with a full transformation rate at the beginning, and there were not many symbiotic microorganisms in his body. Those symbiotic microbes also can't break down the brain.

Therefore......

- If it had been 200 years ago, a brain would not have corrupted easily......

- but before that...... The cells themselves break down...... The brains of dead people are decomposed into a mass of ordinary proteins by enzymes...... The deceased's own enzymes also break down their own. That's how it should be......

When humans die, the first wave of decomposing corpses is not even microorganisms, but the body's own enzymes. Although these enzymes quickly become inactive due to the death of the body, they are only a small head in the process of decomposition of corpses. But it's scary enough.

- In the first moment of death, the brain is ...... by lysosomes Yes...... Wait a minute......

Suddenly, Tao Enhai wanted to laugh.

He really wanted to laugh.

Just now, he was desperately searching for the phenomenon after the natural death of the baseline person.

Then, he discovered a fact that made people laugh and cry.

So far, no individuals have died of natural causes among the recipients of the tested version of the GM procedure.

Everyone, over there and here, everyone, was either alive and fighting, or they were dead and blown up to the point that there was not a single cell remainder left.

He didn't know what the brains of these first-generation benchmark people born of genetic modification surgery would go through after they died naturally.

There is a good chance that this process will be different from that of conventional organisms.

Because......

Their enzyme system is artificially reloaded.

"Cracking the enzyme system" is the biggest achievement of Yagmov's voice. Several Nobel Prizes are just icing on the cake for it, an achievement that only "history" is qualified to evaluate.

He reloaded the human enzyme system.

Naturally, this artificial enzyme system is buggy.

Early metal-based experimental animals, as well as beta version of the benchmark human, had bugs of one kind or another.

It is possible that lysosomes cannot break down cells smoothly after cell death.

For a natural person whose whole body is flesh and blood, this is a very vicious BUG. This means that the tissues throughout the body resemble cancer cells, and the apoptosis program fails.

However, the metabolism of the brain's nervous system is very slow.

Yes, that's right. It has also been described in some later literatures that the human brain produces new nerve cells, and the brain also has a certain ability to heal itself. However, the overall trend is that the number of brain cells in the brain is decreasing.

Nerve cells that are not used naturally degenerate, while neural circuits that are often used are encapsulated by specialized myelin sheaths to form efficient circuits.

In other words, this bug is really insignificant to prosthetic people with full transformation rates!

Tao Enhai's hand trembled slightly.

- If that's the case......

If the head really landed there more than 200 years ago—whatever it did, let's just assume it was there—then it's indeed possible that it faked its death for more than 200 years!

There is a tardigrade on Earth, commonly known as "water bear". Under certain circumstances, they can completely stagnate their metabolism and fall into a long state of suspended animation.

This equipment is called "Cryptolife".

Tardigrades in their reclusive state are also very vulnerable. Temperatures of hundreds of degrees, mechanical damage, and the like can really kill it.

But if there is no external force to disturb it......

Tardigrades are not broken down by lysosomes in their bodies......

Because its enzyme system stopped functioning......

If the conditions are ripe, tardigrades can be revived again.

- If you really want to say it, then the last enemy is oxidation?

Metal-based proteins are susceptible to oxidation reactions due to their chemical proximity to metals.

- Wait......

When Xiang Shan woke up, there was a large scorched mark in the cranial cavity, much like some electronic product that had melted down at high temperatures.

This is a memory shared to the mountain.

This layer of melted area covers almost the entire brain-computer interface.

INTERVIEWER Is it possible to stop oxidation......

- That's not right...... If the area of the head is enclosed enough that there is no air circulation...... When the oxygen is depleted, the oxidation reaction cannot continue......

Tao Enhai looked at Xiang Shan again.

- This ...... Is it possible?
