Chapter 35: Strengthened Again
"Bandits", "thieves", collusion with thieves, if placed in the feudal era, this can be regarded as a felony.
Even in modern society, "harboring" is a criminal offense. The "right of concealment" is also not an unrestricted right.
But in this day and age, all actions that do not contradict the Dyson principles are permissible.
No force can stop an ordinary person from falling in love with a thug who has lost the protection of civilization and even doing business.
Ah, of course, if an individual or a group of information is given to the mob, and in fact aids the mob's atrocities, then such an act is still regarded as an indirect violation of the individual's life and private property. The victim is free to take revenge on the betrayer.
But this power is also limited to the victim, as well as to the victim's own agent. No one else can interfere, and the lord has no need or right to interfere with such behavior.
To put it simply, "traitors" do not lose the protection of civilization.
Enoch betrayed the town, but only the townspeople had the right to take revenge on Enoch.
As for the others, it is just that they have a better relationship with the traitor and will not be punished in any way.
Although Xiang Shan felt that this logic was a bit awkward, he also believed that one person should do things and one person should be responsible, even if the other party is his enemy, he should not be implicated too widely.
Those of Enoch's fox friends...... Even if the townspeople believe that they were involved in the betrayal, it doesn't have much to do with him?
"No, it's before." Dr. Schultz carefully weighed his words: "You were pushed into the arena when the tax collector came...... I know about it. According to them, it was also planned by Enoch, and the man who did it was called Willy, a worker...... However, Willy is dead. ”
"Dead?" Xiang Shan was a little interested: "Didn't you escape?" ”
"Half a month ago, Willy and Enoch had made a trip to the city. Then Enoch came back alone and said that Willy had been killed by the mob. Dr. Schultz explained: "I'm afraid that Enoch betrayed not only us, but also his ......."
"I see." Xiang Shan nodded: "Enoch...... This guy, I remember. ”
He didn't say what he wanted about Enoch. Schultz didn't dare to ask.
Xiang Shan thought this was quite strange. There seemed to be a part of his mind reminding him that this kind of selfish judgment of others needed to be cautious. But there is also something to tell, telling him that the existence of "chivalry" is supported by special legal principles.
A long time ago, he ...... There are other friends...... It seems that a few speculations have been made specifically about this......
- Who are you?
Whenever this feeling arises, Xiang Shan thinks like this.
Why is martial art, which was originally an illusion, turned into reality by technology? Who was he and his friends?
Forget it, if you can't think of it, you won't want to think about it for the time being.
Xiang Shan restored part of his internal cultivation. Especially the "Three Tricks of Dragon Slaying". In a world with a lot of surveillance, it's not very difficult to hunt down a person - after all, Enoch used an industrial prosthetic body, and he didn't know any martial arts at all, so he couldn't survive in the wilderness. He can only escape within a limited range.
When we settle down here, we'll put this matter to rest.
There are still more than ten days left before the town of the recycling station is restored to shelter. For more than ten days, Xiang Shan planned to move around this town.
Dr. Schultz bowed to the mountain and was about to leave.
Xiang Shan stopped him: "Doctor, by the way, I have a question. How is the Yukina kid now? ”
"The heart, liver, and kidneys have been replaced, the aorta has basically been replaced with artificial materials, and the ribs are strong, but they are only slightly damaged, and it will be good to recuperate for a while. The medical expenses are also sufficient, and you have already paid for it. ”
This battle yielded three metal-based spine to the mountain. For the sake of his size, he kept the one that belonged to Paulus, and sold Leif and Ronconi to Dr. Schultz for medical expenses and the purchase of spare parts.
As a master, it is not difficult to spend this amount of money for his disciples.
Xiang Shan nodded: "That's good." ”
He had the heart to go and see his disciple's situation in person. But Yuki's mother is now by Yuki's side. As she approached the mountain, Yulia sounded her horn to warn her.
Of course, Xiangshan will not be afraid of Yulia. But he didn't have the idea of visiting Yuki any longer.
Xiang Shan accepted Yuki as a disciple, on the one hand, because he felt that in this era, having martial arts would be more conducive to survival, which was "repaying gratitude"; On the other hand, he also needs a trustworthy assistant to help him complete some of the operations of the brain chip.
Now, he has multiple chips attached to the brain-computer interface, and there are several spare ones, and the accuracy of the prosthetic hand has also been greatly improved. The need for "assistants" is not so great.
After all, Yulia is Yuki's guardian and family.
I'm afraid that in Yulia's eyes, Xiang Shan is just bringing danger to his son.
In addition to Yulia, the attitude of the other townspeople towards Xiang Shan was also mixed with a little fear. This feeling has intensified since Xiang Shan destroyed Ronconi's biological brain.
Xiang Shan couldn't even find a suitable base. He ended up having to transfer everything to the scrap parts recycling station.
Those old people and disabled people whose biological brains have deteriorated to the point of delirium are actually the only people in the town who still have an attitude towards Xiang Shan.
After Xiang Shan gave those guys some parts, they greeted Xiang Shan happily.
Xiangshan rests here. Later, Dr. Schultz also came over to help Xiang Shan.
It's just that Xiang Shan only asked Schultz to help with the rest of the prosthetic hand.
A powerful master of internal strength can bury countless talismans and Gu for you when preparing your prosthetic body. For the choice of refurbisters, chivalrous people are cautious.
If you want to fight against the enemies of a world as an individual, you have to be cautious.
After receiving the new prosthetic hand, Xiang Shan also first used the secret technique of "one room without sweeping" to monitor the electronic devices in the pair of prosthetic hands to confirm whether there was a back door that he knew......
Ah no, it should be said "confirm how many backdoors there are".
Except for his own eyes, Xiang Shan has never seen a prosthetic body without a back door or a loophole since he woke up. This is almost standard in this era.
But......
- Then again, the prosthetic drive loophole that I all know has been left to this day...... I've only slept for more than ten years, what's the matter?
It's not that he didn't think about using Lef's prosthetic body directly. Lef's prosthetic body is highly complete, whether it is a vector jet, energy system, power system or other equipment, it can be said that it has the necessary qualities of most martial arts in the outer martial arts.
But the embarrassment is that Xiangshan does not have a suitable driver. Lef's own driver chip had been burned, and the driver chip obtained from Paulus and Ronconi was not compatible with the high-performance, heavy-duty prosthesis.
This is a very quirky point. The protocols used in Paulus and Longconi's chips are so different that they may not be compatible at all. This is again at the hardware level.
This was almost unthinkable in the era of Xiangshan's familiarity.
If "data" is a vocabulary, then "agreement" is syntax. Only words that are grammatically arranged are meaningful "sentences" that machines can understand correctly.
If you remove the CPU and hard disk from one computer and plug it into another computer, you can probably use it. At that time, the protocols used all over the world were about the same. Smart devices are all looking for "compatibility with a wider variety of hardware".
This also ensures that when users update software or hardware, developers do not have to write applications from scratch for new devices or platforms, and that previous programs will still work in new environments, and programs on low-end smart devices can be run by more advanced smart devices.
But people in this era don't seem to care about this at all.
"Incomprehensible." Xiang Shan shook his head at this. In his view, the development of science and technology should have moved in the direction of "convenience" and "unification". This fragmentation at the technical level will only increase the operating costs of the whole society.
No, in this era, there may not be much "society" to speak of.
Dr. Schultz eventually escaped and left the scrap parts recycling facility. Walked out to the mountain. I found people with disabilities holding new parts jumping happily at the door. Occasionally, they will fall - the result of a degraded brain that often acts in conflict with the balance system, which cannot handle it, and ultimately takes precedence over the user's will.
There are also four prostheses piled up at the door. One of them seems to be a tractor that has been burned to scrap metal. That's the nameless enemy's. Leif's prostheses were piled on top, while Paulus and Ronconi's prostheses were leaning against them.
Dr. Schultz had just unloaded Ronconi's prosthetic hand.
He walked towards the mountain and carried Ronconi's prosthetic body on his shoulders. There should be many useful parts on this headless and handsless prosthetic body.
It's time to be able to prepare yourself, and that's now. Xiang Shan had a vague premonition. He will definitely face more enemies and more battles in the future.
This time the battle made Xiang Shan determined. He did fight all the way in the past. Only by fighting can he get back to the past.
Although I don't know what I lost before, why I ended up in such a situation. But Xiang Shan felt that since fate had saved him from death and awakened in this era, there must be something that he needed to do in this era.
Xiang Shan placed the silver prosthetic body on the counter.
He even found a suspicious target.
- The Father of All Machines.
Legend has it that he opened up a new era and led mankind to break free from the shackles of primitive evolution and move towards a new era. Someone who is not an emperor or a god has a completely different status.
There is no doubt that he is the enemy of Xiangshan.
