Chapter 68: Day 1 Progress

After the transformation of cyber, human beings have been far away from the threat of "disability". For human beings, "disability" is terrifying because it can irreversibly cause people to lose some of their original functions.

But for prosthetic people, the degree of "disability" is not as terrible as "skin bleeding", at best the level of "being smashed out of bruises".

Because prosthetics can be easily replaced.

Even, as long as there is no concussion, then the cyberman does not even need to "recuperate".

But on the other hand, they can't just rely on "food" to "heal themselves".

They need to carry a large number of parts that cannot be generated in nature, so that they can be replaced at any time.

And parts often require specialized production equipment to manufacture.

This also means that a prosthetic person often needs a mature technical system and a considerable amount of resources behind it.

Of course, if a natural person wants to survive for a long time, he or she also needs a lot of resources. However, natural people can gather food in the biosphere to sustain their own lives. The necessary resources he can gather in most places.

Prosthetic people, on the other hand, have a bit more difficulty in this regard. You can't expect nature to give you a gear of a specific size [although the Mesozoic Spirodon and the Cenozoic Issus planthopper have evolved the structure of gears, but this obviously can't be used directly as a prosthetic], nor can you expect nature to produce capacitors for you [although it can be done theoretically, and there are even living cell batteries such as electric eels, but in practice this organism has not been found - and it is difficult to use it directly].

They are equivalent to the labor of producing resources in factories and the labor of R&D institutions to develop prosthetics, to offset the time cost of "healing".

If the natural man would be confined to the land by agriculture, then the prosthetic man would be confined to the factory by industry.

In this regard, the government with a complete industrial chain naturally has an advantage. Those who are masters of the government can use high-performance, high-precision but wear-prone prostheses without care. For example, the prosthetic leg used by Xiang Shan has artificial muscle fibers broken every time he fights. Once the number of fractures exceeds 5 percent, its performance will be significantly reduced. It's a design that requires constant replacement of the fibers.

In order to save fiber, Xiang Shan now took off those legs and replaced them with a spare pair.

And the prosthetic body used by the bitter haha people in the recycling station town can all last for more than ten years. Although Leif and Glyard's prosthetics are not so miserable, they are also stupid and coarse, and easy to maintain.

If Xiang Shan had knightly companions, then he could be able to get supplies through these allies. But he lost his memory, he couldn't find an organization at all, and the only one he could trust was an apprentice like Yuki.

You can't expect this kid to give you the resources you need to engage in all kinds of martial arts.

Therefore, "carrying by vehicle" is the only option.

The "donkey" has to be a fully automatic vehicle, and when necessary, Xiang Shan can leave the "donkey" to fight the enemy, and after the battle, return to the "donkey" to recuperate.

Even if the donkey is knocked out, it is better to lose the supplies than to tie up the hands and feet with the supplies, and then die.

"This body looks okay." Mukaiyama checks Yuki's work: "The tires below are doing okay...... Well, there is room for the legs too. Not bad. ”

Although the "tires" are very labor-saving, they are limited to "flat ground". After leaving the road, the cross-country ability of the wheels will be hoisted by the "legs". Therefore, although Xiangshan has wheels on this body, when necessary, it will still let this body grow feet and cross complex terrain.

As for those legs, they naturally came from the Z tissue minions.

It is usually folded on the inside of the tire, and when the prosthetic eye of the "donkey" detects the difficult terrain, it automatically stretches out and raises the high floor.

It can also be used as a spare limb.

It's very convenient.

"It's a little narrow, though." Xiang Shan looked at the car body: "After making a foldable roof with photovoltaic panels, the interior space is very limited. I'm also planning to bring a 3D printer. ”

Although the cybers were bound to the factory by industry, "technology" could also provide them with a way to liberation.

In this sense, 3D printers can be called a kind of "artifact".

Just as the blockchain supports the inheritance of internal strength and martial arts, 3D printers support the needs of chivalrous people for prosthetics. 3D printing technology does not need to set up a production line or casting module for a specific product, so there is no need to obtain cost advantages through "assembly line" and "mass production". As long as there is a digital model, it will do.

And with a 3D printer, you have a model of the printer's own parts, then it can "replicate itself".

It can be said that if the flow of information is smooth enough, then a 3D printer is enough to act as a spark for the prairie fire, so that the weak can get rid of the strong in terms of resources.

"Two small 3D printers, at least one has to be dismantled." Xiang Shan pondered: "This space ......"

Yuki sighed: "Master, if we can't work outside, then we can only do it so widely. No matter how wide it is, you may not be able to walk out of the tunnel. ”

Xiangshan does not allow Yuki to work outside. The strong light caused by electric welding can easily be locked by satellites.

Although they killed Daniel and little Edward during the day, it was already very conspicuous.

But no matter what, it's a little better than "more visible".

Naturally, the Z-organized roadway limits the size of the body.

If conditions permit, Xiang Shan even wants to make a giant truck three or four meters high and five or six meters wide to stuff the entire maintenance workshop.

But that obviously can't be done.

"Then I've passed on the protective color to your chip, remember to find the right paint." Xiang Shan then instructed.

Yuki nodded.

After checking the disciple's homework, Xiang Shan walked to the practice room of the little poisonous insect again.

The pair of prosthetic hands that Mukaiyama originally used [originally belonging to the swordsman Ronconi] were being placed in front of the maintenance instrument to be disassembled.

The real value of these prosthetic hands lies in the high-frequency oscillation generator between the palm and the fingers. This generator can generate mechanical waves of a specific frequency to cause metal fatigue, effectively destroy metal crystals, or rely on infrasound waves to trigger the resonance of enemy brain nerves, and in some cases, it can also use ultrasound to shatter biological cells.

All in all, a very versatile good thing.

Xiang Shan plans to disassemble this system and rearrange it in his new hands.

After all, apart from this set of generators, the other properties of this prosthetic hand are very weak. It is too biased towards "gripping the knife", and the structural resistance is not strong.

As for the prosthetic leg that Xiang Shan was originally using, he is also stepping up his rest. But let's be honest, the blue, translucent artificial muscle fibers seem to be a rare resource. Xiang Shan collected some in the stockade, but it was only enough for him to support a few more battles.

But he couldn't find a better prosthetic leg, so he had to use it first.

The water bath is still heating. In another ten or so hours, the conversion will be complete.

"Very good, very good." Xiang Shan nodded in satisfaction, and then confirmed the schedule again.

"On the first day, it was going well. Donkey's upgrade quest - OK, the apprentice is somewhat useful; Skull - OK, now the Lord is a good man with a full heavenly court; Ronconi dismantled with a prosthetic hand - OK. Sure enough, this kind of non-customized prosthetic body can be handled by automated equipment. The new prosthetic framework – OK, because the 3D printer is more powerful than expected, the task is easily completed. Now the progress can be slightly advanced; The outer armor of the new prosthesis - the alloy part of the outer armor has been built, and tomorrow it can be used for shock absorption and a carbon fiber lining that provides electromagnetic resistance. At this rate, newbies will be able to go live tomorrow. ”

Xiang Shan nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, the task for the next three hours is to 'rest'."

Xiang Shan thought so, gradually turning off the direct connection between his brain and the perceptual system, and set a program to "wake up when certain parameters exceed the threshold".

Since Mukaiyama's body is prosthetic, there is no need to lie down specifically to rest. The only organ he really needs to rest for is the brain. Even if you sleep standing up, you will not have muscle strain.

Before falling asleep, Xiang Shan's attention was focused on something else.

It was the hard drive that the little poisonous insect grabbed at the last moment. The memory of the little poisonous insect told him that it was from the knowledge of the "Demon Sect".

"Demon Cult" is another unfamiliar concept.

It is undeniable that when the concept of "chivalry" was created, it was indeed influenced by "martial arts novels" to a large extent, but this does not mean that you have to reproduce every element in martial arts novels, right?

This kind of behavior is really a little too sick.

The original warriors raised the banner of "chivalry" in order to fight against the oppression of totalitarians. He should have simply borrowed an existing cultural concept to make his claim – or rather, a backdoor listing.

This is by no means the same as saying that he wants to bring all the concepts of martial arts novels to reality.

Xiang Shan thinks so.

He was indeed curious about the true face of the Demon Cult.

In addition, the techniques shown by the Demon Sect also made him curious.

If he's not mistaken...... According to the clues from the memories of the little poisonous insect and Glyard, it is speculated that the Demon Cult may be exploring the impact of "changing the structure of the brain nerves on the human spirit".

The mathematical structure of the human brain is "probably" higher than that of the Turing machine. As to why there is such an extraordinary property of mathematical structure, and what the physical structure of this extraordinary property looks like, it is an unsolved puzzle.

However, since the brain has this property, it is understandable that some people would want to start from the perspective of the organism and seek better modifications.

"No, now is not the time to look at that." Xiang Shan still suppressed his curiosity.

He is still being tracked by the government. Maybe the next moment, there will be a chasing general. So he had to prioritize things like the "new prosthesis".

The new prosthesis can only be minted here, and the data will be studied in time later.

"Bear with me for now."

Xiang Shan thought so and turned off his vision.
