Chapter 15: The Beginning of Rehabilitation

"If the lord is in a good mood, a thug may be fine for anything. But maybe just lost shelter and was killed by the lord? ”

The mayor nodded, "The lord may announce the temporary revocation of the civilization protection for our town. We were outlawed as a 'group'. ”

Xiang Shan was stunned: "So, how will this be...... Sample ......"

Yuki seems to have mentioned that there are thugs in the wilderness......

"Gangsters in the wilderness." The mayor sighed heavily, "Gangs generally don't dare to invade a sheltered town. But occasionally there are small towns, whose shelter is revoked. At this time, the inhabitants of the town can still retain their 'personal asylum' when they go to other settlements, but in this period, they are considered 'unasylen' as long as they remain in this settlement. Bandits can plunder at will......"

Xiang Shan probably understands that the so-called "protection of civilization" is actually divided into two parts. One is the so-called "asylum of the group", i.e. the "safe zone", and the other is the "asylum of the individual", i.e. the "good people".

Asylum is only absolutely effective when the "good people" are in the "safe zone". Otherwise, whether the asylum takes effect or not depends on the mood of the "asylum".

In this era, all those who have not violated the "Dyson Principles" are defaulted to "good citizens". And those who have lost their asylum can also go into the "safe zone" - as long as they are not afraid of being killed.

Xiang Shan was surprised: "Then why don't you go to other settlements?" ”

"First of all, other settlements have limited crop yields and can't feed everyone. If the inhabitants of other towns refuse us to stay there...... Then they can expel us in the name of 'defending their property'. ”

"And on the way to other settlements, there is also a risk of being attacked by mobs." The mayor shook his head: "There are still monitoring lines in the village, and under normal circumstances, bandits would not dare to destroy the lines." That would be tantamount to damaging the lord's reputation and losing the lord's face. But if we deviate from the main road to other settlements...... With EMP, they can make us all disappear without us noticing. ”

Xiang Shan only felt cold. Even if he doesn't have the nerve to sense temperature.

From the mayor's words, he knew two things.

First, these times are really troubled times.

Second, the perceptual prosthesis of any person has the potential to become the eyes of the superior.

Otherwise, there is no need to say "use EMP".

It's a terrible time......

Mayor Marew sighed, "If we can resist, we want to resist as much as we can." Mountain, when the mob strikes, will you help us? ”

Looking at the mayor's expression, Xiang Shan once again felt a certain sense of urgency.

It is different from the sense of oppression that Xiang Shan felt when he recalled "Yogmov". It's a sense of imminent crisis.

"Time is running out." Xiang Shan said to himself, "We have to catch up." ”

After the mayor leaves, Xiangshan calls back Yuki.

The next thing to do, that's what Yuki is interested in.

Xiang Shan plans to turn that canine-shaped prosthesis into a part of his new prosthesis.

When he took out the spine before, Xiang Shan had already started from the wound on the chest of the canine prosthesis and dissected the canine prosthesis. The wound was behind the disgusting face of Xiang Shan, and it went through the biological brain buried in his chest.

The biological brain is embedded in a brain-computer barrier made of metal-based proteins, connected directly to it by several nutrient lines and an independent oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange pump. Just above the brain, there is a cerebellum that has been heavily modified. The cerebellum is almost "hanging" from the spine.

Using the doctor's knife, he quickly stripped the dog of the fur.

"Wow......" Yuki on the side made a surprised sound.

Beneath the fur, it was not an imaginary iron body, but some kind of pale blue translucent muscle.

That's right, it's really muscles. Countless translucent fibers are stacked on top of each other. Countless dischargers are buried in the muscles, and each fiber is connected to the discharger at both ends. This seems to be some kind of polymer shape memory material, and after charging, it will quickly curl up, like real muscles.

It's really beautiful.

Xiang Shan, on the other hand, focused his gaze on the fur in his hand.

This is certainly not a real hide. Even if Xiang Shan adjusts his eyes to the level of a light microscope, he can't see structures such as sweat glands and hair follicles. The main component of this layer of fur seems to be some kind of polymer material similar to silicone, which has a certain toughness, at least Xiang Shan can't tear it apart with his arm strength alone.

But even if the material itself is breathable, after making a layer of "fluffy" shape on the surface, there will be no "heat dissipation" at all.

For this practice of exchanging "performance" for shape, Xiang Shan can only express his incomprehension.

If Will Grande Doug didn't have this skin, then he probably wouldn't need to open such a large air intake, and naturally he wouldn't have been able to take his chance.

"Xiang Shan......" Yuki tugged at Xiang Shan's arm.

Xiang Shan shook his head: "When there are outsiders, you can call me whatever you want." But when it's just the two of us, remember to call me 'Master.'" This is the rule of the charlatans. ”

"Oh, Master......" Yuki pouted, "like this...... How can such accessories be transferred to you? ”

He looked at the legs that looked at the mountain. Or two sticks made of solid iron pillars.

It doesn't seem to match the muscles of that industrial artwork at all.

"If I'm not mistaken, each fiber of this electronic muscle can be removed individually. In this way, even if there is damage, it can be quickly replaced......" Xiang Shan poked the arrester a few times with a magnetic driver, quickly opened the prosthetic, and then tinkered a few more times. The discharger and the surrounding fibers fall off naturally,

Xiang Shan put the discharger aside first: "Well, it looks like this...... I'm still pretty lucky. ”

Except for a muscle in the chest, which was pierced by an electric shock rod and the fibers were no longer usable, all the muscle fibers were intact.

Xiang Shan put his gaze back on the penetrating wound in his chest. By the time he had his spine removed, his brain and cerebellum had been completely necrotic. He was going to put this thing aside for the time being.

However, Yuki points out that according to the rules, the organic ingredient must be taken to the town's farmland to be recycled.

Xiang Shan is not very accustomed to this view of "using the human brain as a resource". But if you look at it from the point of view of the "best interests of society", there is nothing wrong with the morality that Yuki is familiar with. He nodded, motioning for Yuki to dispose of the brain according to the rules here.

Yuki was watching the master dismember the prosthetic, and he was reluctant to leave. The brain was placed on the table for the time being.

Along with the brain, there are three chips, and a number of storage devices.

Two of the three chips are used to power the prosthesis. One of them is set up to prevent the other from malfunctioning or bugging. The other is specially designed to transform brain-computer signals so that the biological brain has a stronger ability to control the prosthesis.

The storage disk may contain things such as martial arts algorithms and empirical convolution.

That's right, martial arts algorithms.

The speed at which human nerve signals are transmitted varies from 1 meter per second to 100 meters per second. It depends on the specific nerve fibers – the exact number varies from one nerve fiber to another. In addition, the bioelectric signals inside nerve cells can only be described as "turtle speed".

In many cases, the speed of the response depends on how many times a signal needs to be turned between neurons.

In any case, a nerve signal is no different from an electrical signal that is almost the speed of light in a metal wire, and it is "barely moving".

It is impossible for the human consciousness to really keep up with the movements of the prosthesis. Only by dismantling the signals of the prosthesis into the shortest data, turning it into the simplest stimulus and transmitting it into the human brain, and then the human brain can respond almost to low-level instinct - in this way, can we keep up with the modern high-intensity prosthesis.

It's just that the Turing machine has things that the Turing machine can never do, so the human brain will continue to exist in the body of the warrior.

In other words, "martial arts" was designed this way from the beginning.

Writing an "instinctive program" that "adapts" to martial arts algorithms within a biological brain is something a martial artist must doβ€”and even to a certain extent, this determines the height that a martial artist can achieve.

After the brain, it's a battery. This is much more advanced than the garbage used by Xiang Shan before, and the storage capacity is at least fifty times that of the garbage goods, which can indeed support a period of high-intensity combat.

Then, in the abdomen of this dog, there is actually a ...... Internal combustion engine?

Xiangshan found a wire and dipped it in the liquid left on the internal combustion engine. He had no sense of smell or taste, so he placed the wire under a small piece of iron sheet and managed to make a little spark.

The pale blue flames flickered away. Xiang Shan's prosthetic eye adjusted the lens, and also found that there were a little more undetectable water droplets on the iron sheet.

Ethanol.

This guy actually uses ethanol fuel.

"This is ......" Xiang Shan thought for a moment, then took a closer look at the mechanical structure inside the canine-like prosthesis.

"Is this connected to the mouth? When the output of the battery is insufficient, the internal combustion engine is used to increase the output......"

Although the energy conversion rate of the heat engine is very low compared to the electric motor, its explosive power is extraordinarily strong.

This is used to increase explosive power under the premise that the maximum power of the battery is constant.

After counting his loot, Xiang Shan picked up a small repair terminal that he had borrowed from a doctor.

Next, it's time for the main event.

About the processing of chips.

"Small repair terminal", also called "small medical terminal", is a specialized intelligent terminal. The front looks a lot like a 21st century smartphone, only much thicker than that. Its back is a special structure composed of 1024*1024 metal rods. Press it lightly, and a connector will appear on it to fit the press.

This thing can read most of the chips and storage systems that are common in modern times. Even ancient disks can be read.

Xiang Shan has already dismantled this terminal in advance. He temporarily removed the network card inside, and then glued a magnet to the area that did not interfere with the operation of the terminal itself, so as to ensure that it would not be snooped on to the greatest extent.

He then removes one of the driver chips and presses it to the back of the terminal. The plane of the metal rod immediately recesses the next piece, and the interface on the chip is in natural contact with the top of the metal rod, as if there was a slot behind the terminal.

Soon, the data read out.

"Huh?"

If Xiang Shan still has eyebrows, then he should frown.

"What's wrong? Master. Yuki asked curiously: "You can't understand it, do you?" ”

"If you can't understand it, it's not too scary...... "Xiang Shan muttered, "but I think ...... Shouldn't it be like this? ”

- I actually ...... I can understand everything.
