Chapter 4: Robotic Limbs

After returning to the room, Chen Mo immediately washed his hands with soap to prevent any viruses left on his hands, after all, his left hand had been in contact with the other party's cheek. At this time, Chen Mo calmed down a lot, and he suddenly thought that patients with rabies attacks generally do not have red eyes.

"Isn't it rabies, it's something else?"

Chen Mo thought of the nuclear leakage in Lisong City not long ago, and an ominous premonition hit his heart.

"Turn on the TV." Chen Mo said immediately.

On the white film and television wall, light and shadow appear.

"Attention all citizens! Attention all citizens! There are frequent special human beings who come from the direction of Lisong City and are suspected of being infected with a certain virus or being exposed to nuclear leakage and radiation, and have lost their reason to attack others. So please don't go out, please don't go out! The public security police have carried out a city-wide search and arrest work, and citizens must stay at home, cooperate with the work of the public security police, and protect themselves. Once you encounter the above-mentioned special humans, please call the security police as soon as possible..."

"Most likely, it is a phenomenon caused by nuclear radiation! If it weren't for Xiaowei, but if he encountered that patient alone, the consequences would be unimaginable! Thinking of this, Chen Mo also felt a little guilty in his heart, "As a man, a reserve policeman, he actually let a machine girl protect himself!" What made him feel even more unbearable was that Xiaowei was cut off by the patient in front of him.

An unspeakable sense of humiliation swept through Chen Mo's heart.

"If I am able-bodied, how can I be afraid of him as a half-dead man! I knew that today, I should have asked Dr. Ouyang to help me install a mechanical prosthesis, at least I could protect myself and not have to burden others! ”

Bursts of sirens suddenly sounded outside the window, and they stopped near Chen Mo's unit building, and after a while, the sirens gradually faded away.

"Looks like the patient should have been arrested."

Chen Mo regained his courage and wanted to go downstairs to see Xiaowei's situation. The moment he sat in the suspended wheelchair, he suddenly remembered to take two things--- disinfectant and paper towels.

Then, he took the elevator downstairs and went out of the door of the unit building, and found Xiaowei still lying quietly in place. Chen Mo walked up to Xiao Wei, wrapped his hand in a tissue, and helped Xiao Wei in the suspension wheelchair. He saw Xiaowei's "head" not far away, walked over and sprayed the disinfection night, picked it up and put it on Xiaowei's body.

So, Chen Mo voice-controlled the wheelchair and brought Xiaowei to his home. It's a pity that he doesn't know much about AI, not to mention that the interface between Xiaowei's "head" and his body has also been completely damaged.

"It seems that we can only wait for those patients who have been exposed to nuclear radiation to be caught, and then we can let Dr. Ouyang take Xiaowei back."

At this time, the news was reporting that hundreds of arrests of patients affected by nuclear radiation had been arrested in just half a day, but the number continued to rise. In addition, the city hall has closed and quarantined the whole city, and residents in the city are not allowed to go out, and residents from other places are not allowed to enter, in order to prevent the situation in the city from further expanding. All the patients who have been caught suffering from nuclear radiation are isolated in the underground air-raid shelter of the city's public security police station.

The city's biologists, pharmacologists, medical experts, genetic engineering experts, virologists and many other life science experts gathered at the city hall to convene an emergency symposium aimed at researching a vaccine that could cure those who were irradiated and lost their minds.

In the evening, Chen Mo, who was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, he wiped his hands, took out the translucent mobile phone from his pocket, and found that it was Ouyang Deyu's call, he answered the phone without thinking.

"How are you guys? Did you watch the TV news? The other side of the phone said with urgent concern.

"Doctor Ouyang, I'm fine, but I'm sorry, Xiaowei was damaged by a patient in order to protect me." Chen Mo said with some guilt.

"It's okay, you're fine, to what extent has Xiaowei been destroyed?"

"Its screen was broken off by a patient, and everything else is intact."

"Okay, I see, I'll let the courier plane, bring a new screen to you."

"That's right, Dr. Ouyang."

"What's wrong?"

"Please get me a mechanical prosthetic."

"Did you figure it out?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, I see."

The phone hung up, Chen Mo put down the phone and continued to cook. About an hour and a half later, Chen Mo suddenly heard a knock on the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, thinking it was a courier. However, when he walked out of the restaurant, he found that it was not a flying machine parked on the 38th floor, but a black antique antique car, and Ouyang Deyu was sitting in the car, smiling and looking at himself.

Chen Mo opened the entire floor-to-ceiling window, allowing the antique antique car to fly in.

"Doctor Ouyang, why did you come here in person?" Chen Mo wondered.

"You can't install this mechanical prosthesis alone without my help." Ouyang Deyu said as he moved a large box from the seat on the other side.

Chen Mo stepped forward and stretched out his left hand, wanting to help.

"You don't have to help me, I can do it alone." Ouyang Deyu directly moved the big box to the coffee table in the living room. Immediately, he took down a translucent screen and a portable toolbox from the car, "Xiaowei's data has been synchronized in this new screen, I'll help it change it first." ”

Ten minutes later, Xiaowei's new screen was reinstalled.

"Power on." Ouyang Deyu said softly.

In an instant, Xiaowei's translucent screen suddenly flickered, and the cute girl's face appeared again.

"Doctor Ouyang, Ouyang Xuan, I feel like I had a long dream just now." Xiao Wei said immediately.

Ouyang Deyu glanced at Chen Mo and said to Xiaowei: "Yes, you did have a dream, and now that you wake up, help me install a mechanical prosthetic leg on Ouyang Xuan." ”

"Ouyang Xuan, have you finally figured it out?" Xiaowei was a little surprised.

"Hmm." Chen Mo bowed slightly.

"Ouyang Xuan, you can sit in a suspended wheelchair, it is more convenient to install it this way." Ouyang Deyu said gently, and took out the painkiller from the toolbox, "First, I need to give you a painkiller injection, and next, I will manually fuse the mechanical tendons in the prosthesis with the tendons in your limbs. In this way, you can use the mechanical limbs more flexibly, and they will be like a part of your body in the future, and they will be more powerful than your real limbs, and its toughness is also superb, because it is made of titanium alloy. ”

At the same time, Xiaowei took out all the parts of the two prosthetics from the box and quickly assembled them. After Chen Mo caught a glimpse, he felt that the flexibility of Xiaowei's hands was incredible.

Ouyang Deyu put on directional X-ray glasses, and then took over the mechanical limb from Xiaowei's hand, "Punch holes, Xiaowei." ”

After Xiaowei heard the command, she set the positions of Chen Mo's severed tendons and tendons, and then used a punching needle to punch holes. Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Deyu installed the upper part of the lower limb at the site of the severed limb, and then used a threading needle to guide the mechanical tendon into the inside of the severed limb and make contact with the human tendon.

Half an hour later, all the mechanical tendons had reached the exact position, and Ouyang Deyu activated the electrodes in the prosthesis to drive the miniature lock at the tail end of the mechanical tendon to lock the human tendon tightly. After just 10 minutes, the lower half of the prosthesis was easily fitted in Xiaowei's flexible hands.

After another hour and a half, Chen Mo's mechanical arm had also been installed. At this time, not only Chen Mo, but even Ouyang Deyu's face was covered with sweat, although he had taken painkiller injections, he could still feel the dull pain like pins and needles.

"It's finally good... Ouyang Xuan, you can stand up and try to move. Ouyang Deyu was a little excited.

Chen Mo slowly stood up, the tingling sensation in the severed limb became more intense and unbearable in an instant, and the feeling of powerlessness also followed, he gritted his teeth, squeaked, and sweat like a bean gurgled down his forehead.

Chen Mo finished the first step of his left foot, and at the moment when his right foot was just raised, the pain in his left leg was unbearable, and he almost wanted to fall, Ouyang Deyu and Xiaowei hurriedly reached out to support him. Then, he took a few deep breaths, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took another step.

"As long as you practice diligently, you will soon be able to fully adapt to the mechanical limbs, which are actually very heavy, in order to reduce the burden on people, so they are equipped with kinetic energy booster devices, which require you to charge them every other week." Ouyang Deyu said.

When Chen Mo heard this, he bowed slightly.

"And..."Ouyang Deyu stopped talking.

Chen Mohu looked over suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter, Doctor Ouyang?" ”

"It's not very peaceful out there now, and I think the AI in your body can be activated."

"AI in vivo?" Chen Mo's eyebrows were furrowed, full of confusion.

"In the surgery after your car accident, I implanted an intelligent AI where your spine meets your brain, which can be said to be your second brain. When it is activated, it will bring you a lot of benefits, such as the reserve of knowledge, the reserve of motor skills, and if there is anything hesitating, you can also discuss with it. There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Ouyang Deyu's mouth.

After Chen Mo heard this, he was like a thorn in the back.

Originally, he had already broken through his bottom line with a mechanical prosthesis, and now he has implanted intelligent AI in his body, which is far beyond his cognitive scope and psychological endurance. But what could he do? After all, the chip has been implanted in the body, and Dr. Ouyang is still his life-saving benefactor, so is it possible to tear his face with him?

Chen Mo was speechless, and could only smile bitterly in his heart. Rather than not being able to change, it is better to accept it calmly.

"Can voice start?" Chen Mo was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"Your consciousness can activate it, at any time, or at any time. When it is activated, if you give it autonomy, everything you have will be governed by it, including your X-ray eyes, every nerve and tendon in your body, and your mechanical limbs. Ouyang Deyu further explained.

The more Chen Mo listened, the more panicked he felt, "If it doesn't listen to my command and commands my body without permission, then won't I become a puppet?" ”

"But rest assured, this AI will never harm the implanter, and will always carry out any instructions given to him by the implanter."

"You're saying it's different from normal AI, it can execute all the instructions of the implanter?"

"That's right, it's a combat AI, congratulations to Ouyang Xuan, you'll be lucky to have it, because a combat AI has never appeared on Earth. It's my biggest effort in 10 years, and it's not hacked by any other AI, and its firewall is the best on the planet. So, you have to keep it a secret, once someone else finds out about the peculiarity of the AI in your body, you will be in great trouble, and even jail. Ouyang Deyu admonished.

"It's obviously illegal, and you still implant it in my body, what are your intentions?" Chen Mo thought to himself.

After a while, he took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile helplessly, "Don't worry, Doctor Ouyang, I won't tell anyone." ”
