Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sand in a Dream
Phantom limb pain, also known as limb hallucinatory pain, is when the person feels that the severed limb is still present and that pain is occurring there.
A person whose hand has been amputated may also feel that the hand they have lost is being cut, burned, or electrocuted.
Some people believe that the essence of "phantom limb pain" is the corresponding nerve defect after the limb disappears. If the brain does not receive nerve signals from that place and cannot understand the fact that the arm has been removed, it will assume that the limb is damaged, and create a "warning" signal in the brain.
Of course, it is also believed that this is due to the compensatory mechanism of the cerebral cortex - after the loss of part of the limb, the brain will mistakenly take the sensations of other parts of the body for the sensations of the original limbs, thus making the "sense of touch" in contradiction with other perceptions.
This was once an important point in the process of human prostheticization - when the nerve plexus of the whole body is gone, the brain will be at a loss.
The easiest way is to send deceptive signals to the brain through the chip, so that the brain thinks that its limbs still exist.
But the question of Xiangshan is different. He had just undergone spinal nerve surgery, and the new spinal nerves were not fully fused, and there were some bugs in the signals coming to the brain. When these false signals are misprocessed by the brain, some kind of hallucinatory pain is produced.
At the same time, the signals sent to the prosthesis by the mountain through the spinal nerve will also deteriorate to varying degrees.
Originally, Xiang Shan chose to block this signal, and then use the device in his brain to release the wireless signal through the remote mode.
But when the electromagnetic pulse covered the signal, Xiang Shan had to use the spinal nerve, which had not yet fully healed, to command the new body.
The pain was like a tidal wave that did not pass through the consciousness of Xiang Shan. Xiang Shan felt as if his long-defunct body was suffering from thunder and fire, and all kinds of tastes hit his body.
And this pain also evokes more memories.
It was a scene from a hospital bed working with other researchers to record data......
It was the scene of being crushed in an explosion......
It was the scene of falling to the ground, watching a young man approaching step by step......
……
In an instant, the illusion vanished like a bubble. Xiang Shan urgently made a defensive move.
But because the spinal nerve has not yet recovered, there is an undeserved flaw between his fists and feet. Ulster immediately took out of control and took a backbite.
In a hurry, Xiang Shan could only block the other party's bite with his arm.
Sparks splattered out. The outer armor on Xiang Shan's arm shattered like a cookie.
Xiang Shan took advantage of this moment to turn over and restrict the other party's movements.
This is another defect of man-made fiber muscles. Muscles rely on fibrous contractions to exert force, so the "inward" and "outward" forces are inconsistent. This is evident in most amniotes. Amniotes have a structure called the tempotemporal foramen on the skull that attaches to the masseter muscles, so the bite force crushes the more primitive vertebrates. However, for many beasts, the difference in strength between "opening their mouths" and "closing their mouths" is huge.
Small crocodiles such as caimans can't even break free after being pinched by humans.
This is one of the ways in which many grappling techniques work.
Artificial muscle fibers are indeed far better than natural animal muscles in this regard, but they are still not as good as the structure of a hydraulic rod with similar strength in both directions.
Xiang Shan barely controlled Ulster's upper limbs, but because he missed the opportunity, he couldn't lock the more threatening head after all.
The dog's upper and lower jaws are like hydraulic scissors destroying Xiangshan's arms.
A smile finally appeared in the dog's mouth. He and Xiang Shan's limbs clamped each other, but now that he was above, Xiang Shan had lost the possibility of using his body weight. Xiang Shan couldn't even let go of the hug he had made. His prosthetic body has a greater advantage in speed and bursts. It is impossible for Xiang Shan to get a second chance to drag into the ground battle.
This is his victory!
"For the sake of everyone being in the same vein as martial arts, let's finally say a few heartfelt words to you, young man." The old dog laughed and said, "Human instinct is a negative inheritance. Wu Zu once said that those who step into the martial arts need to fight with their own instincts. The martial arts have clouds, the innate flesh, and the most lowly ......"
This sentence pierced into Shang's mind as if it were a must.
More, more memories, along with the scene just now, stirred in Xiang Shan's brain waves.
- Let's clean up the negative legacy that our ancestors gave us!
- Let's cut off the physiological basis for the Monkey King's incarnation!
- Free humanity from the enslavement of its own genes! Let everyone have the opportunity to become "the self" they want to be!
- We are the ones who steal the Heavenly Fire!
At this moment, the wind is calm, the waves are calm, the clouds stop, and the clouds stop.
The memories are instantly clear, and the "past" fades like a tide, and finally freezes on a certain picture.
A car was parked on the side of the street. Then, a hand reached out from inside the car and pulled a ragged, beggar-like man inside.
- We must admit that we do overestimate ourselves.
-- "Productive forces determine the relations of production...... I thought that if we developed the most powerful technology, developed the strongest productive forces, and entrusted them to human beings, more advanced changes would naturally occur.
- You are indeed an idiot. The naked ape, which lives in the steel forest, is no different from its African ancestors 50,000 years ago in terms of brain structure. Their poor nervous system has long been unable to understand society properly. Most people just learn a few new words from the pioneers and let those words think for themselves.
- The naked ape's instinctive desire for the appearance of the Monkey King. This is their irreversible nature. Even populist movements, which are supposed to be the most populist, inevitably degenerate into large-scale ceremonies of loyalty to leaders and love for idols. It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened in history, right?
- Even if we put chips in their heads, they won't use these surplus resources to think properly. They will only follow their instincts to worship the new Monkey King. There is no help.
- Ha, brother, enough of the complaining?
- Not enough, how can it be enough.
- Well, it's enough to have the strength to swear. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
- Not yet successful? Isn't it already a failure?
- Failure is the mother of success.
- What else can we do? The world has been completely controlled. We've done this in our lifetime! Hahahaha......
- Hmm. That's true. We thought that when the last poor man became Homo vexillues, we would simply wipe out all famines. But it is undeniable that we have also created the unstoppable strong. Speaking of which, from the distant past, technology has been controlled by the powerful.
——R&D requires resources, and production requires resources......
- But as the group used to say. "Knowledge" is supposed to be the common wealth of mankind, so why should the magnates claim their own ownership? In the final analysis, the scientific researcher system derived from the European aristocratic system is not fundamentally different from the knight as a social class.
- That's a big problem. Aristocrats, feudal lords, capitalists, bureaucrats, the monkey king on everyone's head has never changed. It's just that the capitalists and bureaucrats are always stronger than the landlords, so we all feel that this is progress, and this progress will continue forever. It's just the wrong route.
- So? It's too late to say anything. The world has lost its resistance.
- We can also make a fire of resistance and give it to the people.
- Are you still stupid? The naked apes......
- The naked apes are also "Homo sapiens". Among the naked apes, there are certainly countless foolish and stupid. But on the road of 10,000 years of Homo sapiens, it is not all stupid, but also sparks of wisdom, true chivalry and true righteousness.
INTERVIEWER Let's create a new technology. Combine open access and decentralized production to make something that anyone can use......
- I'm going to call it ......
"Martial arts is not such a thing!" The spirit of Xiangshan was freed from the demon calamity and immediately entered the realm of Mingjing stopping water.
He laughed and said, "How can an idiot who has practiced all his martial arts be qualified to repeat what I said here?" ”
"What?" The dog seemed to be enraged: "You guy, you actually say that my authentic beast Dao practice is crooked?" ”
"The first thing about the beast is realistic, and the limbs and torso are all the same as living bodies. In this way, disguised as a pet, even if someone touches it, it will not feel the difference, so it can steal information. The second is speed, if you can't escape, how can the intelligence stealer achieve the mission? Therefore, among the three hundred martial arts designed by Wuzu Xiangshan, it is the weakest and the least suitable for transforming into frontal combat. After all, there are hundreds of prosthetic designs in this world that are more suitable for combat than deformed gray wolves, and those designs can either play other assassination techniques, or have corresponding designs of military martial arts, so why bother to cut their feet and get a dog skin for themselves in order to learn the way of mimicry beasts? What is the point of this kind of prosthetic body, which is not suitable for fighting, to come out and kill the enemy without being properly disguised? ”
Ulster Grande Doug was obsessed with martial arts, but he had never studied the history of the art of beast imitation, let alone thought about it.
There was a flaw in his spirit.
At this moment, Xiangshan suddenly exerted force. He lifted the bridge at his waist and lifted the dog's prosthetic body off the ground, unable to exert his strength. At the same time, the back, shoulder, elbow, and palm of the mountain were connected in a line, and a strong force pierced through like a big gun.
Xiang Shan's crumbling outer armor came out of his arm like a glove, buying him a little space. His arm thrust into the dog's mouth and sticked out.
A scream rang out.
