"I'm so sorry." Dr. Schultz apologized while helping Xiang Shan replace his new prosthetic hand: "I'm really sorry. My uncle, he was ...... He didn't mean it that way. We are naturally very grateful to you, but ......"

"I understand." Xiang Shan gestured with his newly changed right hand, signaling Dr. Schultz to say no more. This hand originally belonged to the knife master Ronconi, and all parameters were far stronger than the garbage prosthetic hand he used before, and the palm also had an electromagnetic system, which could produce various linkages with the handle of the magnetic material cast, and make knife moves that could not be completed by the palm of the flesh.

It was only after explaining that he understood what had happened to the townspeople.

They can't see this kind of picture of "direct destruction of the biological brain". For them, the crime image itself is enough to trigger a stress response.

The direct destruction of the biological brain is a violation of the "Dyson principle", which will cause the banbreaker to lose the protection of civilization and all the human rights that can be possessed in this era. In a sense, this is indeed a more terrible punishment than the death penalty. Because the condemned prisoner also has basic human rights, ensuring that he is not subjected to punishments other than the "death penalty" itself [such as "ill-treatment")

But individuals who have lost the protection of civilization can do anything.

At the same time, everyone in this era believes that the "father of all machines" looks at each individual equally.

To put it in a secular discourse system, it means that "there is a supreme dictator who can spy on the crowd through any person's visual prosthetic body or surveillance system".

Despite the fact that when Xiang Shan destroyed Ronconi's biological brain, Ronconi was already attacking Xiang Shan. Xiang Shan may be out of the boundary of "not breaking the ban".

But most townsfolk are incapable of discerning this in a hurry. Even if they were able to figure it out after thinking and explaining to others, they still felt intense fear at the "time" of the event.

Even, whether this matter is considered a "breaking the ban" depends on the mood of the local adjudicators.

This kind of incident in the area between "breaking the ban" and "not breaking the ban" can arouse strong fear among everyone. They are very afraid that they will be watched and punished by the "father of all machines".

That's not "looking like collective hysteria", it's the collective hysteria that is unique to this era - "fear of power".

"There are no specific legal texts, no precedents to cite and supplement. What seems to be a rule of extreme freedom is actually an indulgence of the power and power of tyrants...... "Xiang Shan bowed his head and pondered: "Dyson principle...... What the hell is it? ”

He already knew the so-called Dyson principle from Will Granddogg's memory.

It can be said that the Dyson principle is the only law, even the only morality, in this era. It has only six articles, and there is even a "Article Zero" that does not provide for any substance, and each article has only a few notes. In this day and age, anything that does not violate the Dyson principles is considered "permissible".

Article 0: All individuals who do not explicitly refuse to comply with the Dyson Principles, or who do not explicitly violate them, are tacitly abiding by the Dyson Principles and accepting the protection of civility. The James Dyson principle is the only universal principle of human civilization. Anything that does not violate the Dyson Principles should be permitted.

Article 1: All human beings have an obligation to maintain human genetic diversity. Refusal of this obligation would automatically result in the loss of civilizational asylum.

Article 2: It is forbidden to damage the biological brain of others.

Article 3: It is forbidden to manufacture, use, or sell addictive drugs.

Article 4: Private property exists and is protected.

Article 5: Anyone is permitted and only permitted to establish an organization in the form of a "declaration of allegiance by an individual to another entity."

That's all there are six.

"Sounds like something extreme liberals and anarchists would love. Especially the last one...... Is this to prevent the emergence of a 'collective' with its own will, such as a 'government'? People with such political leanings ......"

Xiang Shan's heart suddenly emerged...... His face resembles that of a savage. This group of people is not sure to believe in apocalyptic rumors like "2012". However, they are inexplicably worried about all kinds of catastrophes, and they have to give up the convenience brought by modern civilization and have to establish various survival bases. In addition, they are generally distrustful of others, prefer to form small groups, and are extremely fond of talking about "survival".

For them, this is the embodiment of "free will".

Thinking of this, Xiang Shan felt as if his memory was missing. He seemed to remember...... A time to survive in the wild...... Green rainforest ...... And also......

My memory is really too mutilated. Even if you find an opportunity, you can't recall it all.

The so-called "lords" were likewise not allowed to have armies. Those who seem to have a high degree of uniformity are nominally free groups willing to follow the individual lord and be hired by the individual lord. And the officials under the lord's command are not systematic civil servants, but assistants to the lord's personal body. The lord did not even nominally have the power to dictate to the people, he only provided "civilized shelter", and it was the lord's own freedom to "destroy the mob" morally—even whether the mob should be exterminated or not.

-- Virtually fictitious order.

This is Xiang Shan's view of this era.

Except for a few people involved in the "human gene pool" derived from the first of Dyson's principles, there is nothing that can be called "order" in this era. Everything went backwards......

Feudal times? Slave age?

No, it's not the same. The imprint of modern technology already exists on human civilization and has a profound impact on this era. The tyrants of this era possess technology that the tyrants of ancient times did not have, so that even such a messy tyranny of "freedom" can bind everyone.

The strong have the freedom to ravage the weak at will, and the weak theoretically have the freedom to resist, but they are unable to exercise this power due to physical constraints.

This era may seem free, but some people are undoubtedly more liberal than others.

"It is precisely because of this that on the earth, the light of chivalry will not be extinguished......" Xiang Shan thought.

It's a pity that Will's memories of the knights end here.

It's strange to say. It stands to reason that a person who has lost all his memory will almost inevitably have his personality affected if he or she takes the liberty of absorbing the memories of others. But Xiang Shan now finds that Will's memories have almost no impact on his personality. There was no difference between his way of thinking and that of the record. It seems that the memories forgotten by Xiang Shan are even bigger than he imagined, so large that they are ......

I don't know exactly what extent.

He must be a man with a very good story.

This made Xiang Shan more interested in memory storage devices. He now has a few more memory storage devices in his hands. Some of them came from the giant man named "Lef", and the other part came from Paulus and Ronconi. Anthony's memory storage device is gone, and someone must have picked it up.

Xiang Shan's spoils were recognized by the townspeople as "Xiang Shan's private property", and they didn't dare to do anything about it, so they collected them all and gave them to Xiang Shan. Anthony was killed by Leif, so someone had a crooked brain.

Xiang Shan didn't bother to pursue this matter. Paulus, it is said. Ronconi and Anthony are familiar and move around a lot. I am afraid that a large part of their understanding of the world coincides. These three guys are not very good at martial arts, and Anthony is still a martial artist with guns. Xiang Shan felt that he could also use the martial arts of the gun and artillery path, but he didn't know how to make hot weapons, so he was not interested in Anthony's martial arts algorithm.

The only thing that made Xiang Shan feel sorry was that the mysterious enemy that popped out at the end was completely burned and could not be recovered.

He's undoubtedly one of Lef's gang, but Xiang Shan just doesn't know what he's here for.

And the righteous bodies of those people also belonged to the mountain.

- I'm going to have to find some time to absorb those memories too...... At least you have to know what the hell is "Green Forest Road"......

“…… Swordsman? Swordsman? Dr. Schultz's call interrupted Xiang Shan's thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Shan asked.

"Your left hand is already installed." Dr. Schultz said cautiously.

Xiang Shan jumped down from the console and looked at his arm. The arms originally belonged to the swordsman. Streamlined silver casing, similar to crafts. It doesn't fit in with the shoddy outer armor on his body. But there's no denying that it's a good pair. The combination of classical power transmission and artificial muscle fibers makes these hands incredibly flexible.

He made a tentative swing to the mountain. The sound of an explosion ran over Dr. Schultz's auditory system.

Dr. Schultz looked at Xiangshan at this time with trepidation. Xiang Shan was a foot shorter than when he went to his house half a month ago. His legs were replaced with artificial musculature and were reversed joints. In this state, Xiang Shan's legs are always in a state of "accumulation", and he can exert his strength at any time and instantly accelerate to the field of supersonic speed. In addition, after adjusting the center in this way, Xiang Shan can also more easily fall forward and fight by lying on the ground.

His outer armor was still the same one cast in the village, covered in scars, and it shouldn't last for the next battle of equal intensity.

The head, torso, arms, and legs all seem to come from different eras and different price points.

Xiang Shan said to himself: "If you have these hands in the morning, then you don't need to sacrifice your prosthetic hands to borrow strength......"

"By the way, hero, there is one more thing...... Schultz said cautiously: "Enoch, who betrayed us, has fled, but his fox friends and dogs have not had time to escape, and they have all been captured by us." One more thing, uncle thinks, you need to know a little about ......"
