Chapter Seventy-Three: William's New Discovery
"So what should I do next?" Huang Jie asked, "Continue into the Tosthers?" ”
"What do you think?" Lucius asked Xie Qi on the side, Xie Qi took the screwdriver and said, "I still need to adjust it here, didn't he say it just now?" There are similarities between the worldline he is in and the worldline of Gundam, so I'm going to adjust it here. ”
"Duplicate with Gundam World Line?" Augustus opened the display in front of him, listed all the Gundam works in the air, and asked, "Which one are you talking about?" ”
"According to what I know, the one that resembles the historical surprise should be ......" Xie Qi searched from the top down, "yes, that's it," his finger stopped at the location of the Gundam Seed, "I think this should be it." In order to make sure that his words were correct, he asked Huang Jie on the side, "By the way, do you still have any iconic things in that world?" ”
"I think about it," Huang Jie said, leaning his chin against it, "there's a battleship called the Archangel. ”
"That's right, this is it." Xie Qi said, "Mr. Augustus, do you have the details of this work?" For example, the story structure is like that. ”
"Well, of course." Mr. Augustus slid through the air a few times, found a document bag, and slid it to Xie Qi opposite, "That's it, I found the material in Albert's diary, and then went to Albert's office to find it, this thing was originally auctioned by Albert at a high price, and my copy of this is just a fake." ”
Xie Qi opened the information, looked at it, and said, "That's enough." After saying that, he kept the display on his chest in a constant state, lowered his body and began to tinker with the machine, "Someone will be looking for you later, Huang Jie." ”
"Me?"
"yes, he shouldn't be here soon." Xie Qi popped his head out from under the chair and said, "You guys will talk later, and when you talk well, I guess I'll be fine." With that, he continued to probe down.
"Who is he talking about?" Huang Jie looked at Augustus and asked, he didn't know anything, only shrugged helplessly.
At this moment, the door of the room opened with a "whoosh", and a man walked in, it was William, who had not been seen for a long time, he strode in, he was wearing a black suit, which seemed to absorb all the light, "He is talking about me." He said and turned his back on his hand, "Long time no see, Huang Jie." ”
Huang Jie was stunned by William's appearance, this old guy didn't know where to go since Cagalli exploded, but now he came out, without giving Huang Jie a chance to relax, a young girl appeared behind William, familiar white hair, a familiar spring-like clear voice, "Hi, Huang Jie." The girl stretched out her fair and slender hand to greet Huang Jie.
"Uncle...... Bertha," Huang Jie said with a slurrel.
Huang Jie hadn't seen her for more than two weeks since Bertha's treatment, of course, except for Li Xia from his ancestors, his sudden appearance surprised Huang Jie at first, and for a while, he was stunned in place.
Bertha nodded to Tina beside her, "Alina, long time no see. ”
"Alyssa...... Sister ......" Tina looked at Bertha blankly, and the small dried fish in her mouth also fell off, and without giving her much reaction, Bertha rushed up and hugged her.
"It's been a long time." Bertha looked excited, "Alina, it's really good that you're still here. She hugged Tina's body tightly, Tina was uncomfortable by this sudden enthusiasm, she tactfully but a little hard to break free, but Bertha's strength was too great, this long-time occasion could not use the power of the vermilion rabbit, helpless, Tina gave up struggling.
Lucius glanced at the two of them, and then at Huang Jie, "Tsk, Shura Field." ”
"Leave that alone," said William on the side, "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so let's not talk about the celebration until we find Luna and Alice, I'm here today, and I want to say one thing." "We found something interesting in Bertha's memory, and it may have been a clue to finding those two." ”
"What's that?" Huang Jie asked.
William took out the notepad on his chest, opened it, and said, "I found a man in Bertha's memory of that day, and that person was Albert's former subordinate. As he spoke, he showed the photo, "Is it familiar?" ”
"Samuel?" Huang Jie exclaimed.
"Yes, that's him." Thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the air beside Pinkerton, "He was the one who cut off my arm." He said, pointing to the picture.
"When were you here?" Huang Jie asked.
"For a long time." After saying that, he sat down with a "shhhh
"Him?" Huang Jie asked again, "Isn't he from Franklin?" ”
William turned to Huang Jie and said, "Although I don't know if he is from Franklin or not, one thing I can conclude is that he is now Adolf's man. ”
Huang Jie faced William calmly, "How is Franklin?" ”
"He's fine," said William, "he's cultivated on Mr. Mark's side, and for such an old politician, feigned death is the best way to hide and protect himself." ”
"That's for the best." Huang Jie felt that something was wrong, and then asked, "Why did Samuel give Adolf a job?" Thinking about it, his gaze fixed on Samuel's right arm, and he immediately turned to ask Bertha on the side, "Bertha?" ”
"Huh?" Bertha let go of Tina, who was holding her breathless, and waited for Huang Jie's next question.
"When was the last time we saw Samuel?"
"With Luna, but we were covering her up that time."
"Where?"
"Lardica," Bertha said earnestly, "we were in charge of monitoring the entire process of Luna's affair. ”
"Do you remember his right hand at that time?"
"Well...... "Bertha said with a slurrel, "a little impressed." ”
I'll just ask briefly," Huang Jie said, "his right hand is his own limb, right?" He turned his arm and said, "It's like I was born with it." ”
"Isn't it?" Bertha asked.
Huang Jie's brows suddenly relaxed, and he turned to William behind him and said, "I don't know what happened to him, but I think his rebellion may have something directly related to his hand." After speaking, William looked at the photo, on the photo, Samuel's right hand is a mechanical arm, "Maybe Adolf gave him something more powerful, you must know that he had short-term contact with Samuel, on the ship that crashed Cagalli, we chatted a few words," Huang Jie said seriously, "He is a person with choice." ”
"Oh, I'll have to write this down, William scribbled something in his notebook," and let's move on to the next topic. William put away his notepad, then pulled out his old antique: a tablet, and held it to his chest like a shield, "I discovered something magical during Bertha's recovery," he paused, "and there were some interesting changes in her nervous system, especially her motor cortex." ”
"Her motor cortex?" Huang Jie couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "What kind of change?" ”
"I'll just get it straight," said William, "Bertha was injured this time, and it hurt her spine, and what we're going to say can't restore her ability to walk on her own feet. ”
Huang Jie looked at Bertha's feet on one side, "Isn't she jumping around?" ”
William cleared his throat, "That's just the effect of the mechanical exoskeleton's thin armor. ”
"Huh?"
"You can interpret Bertha wearing a sheer stocking that helps her walk," William said, "but that's not the point, the point is that we used Tosthers to get her motor cortex back in operation, and she's been paralyzed since the Red Crisis, but it's weird." "Since she was paralyzed, the part of her brain about movement has not received the nerve tactile transmission from her legs, no matter how much the doctor tries." ”
Huang Jie looked at Bertha's legs, she picked up the stockings and gestured to him, Huang Jie then asked, "Then what is this for?" ”
"We're more interested in what it can do," William said, "it's Klein's latest technology, designed by the Knights Hospitaller for the purpose of paralyzing personnel." ”
"Wait," Huang Jie asked, "Hospitaller?" He looked at Pinkerton on the side, "Is it the one who attacked us last time?" ”
"No," Pinkerton denied, "that's the Teutonic Knight, the man of Mobius. ”
"What can you do with it?" Huang Jie asked.
"Here's what it does," William continued, "and with its help, the Hospitaller can collect data on human walking more quickly to heal his paralysis." ”
"Data?" Huang Jie asked, "So what?" ”
"It's very simple," William said, "that sensory prosthetics are so restrictive that people spend months learning how to use them, they're clumsy, and people with spinal cord injuries can't use them, so they want to come up with a more straightforward way to paralyze," he said, "and they'll put programs into their own neural nanobots and then implant them in the spine that will replace the broken spinal nerves and 'learn' how to be part of the human body." ”
"Uh-oh." Huang Jie said.
"But then, Bertha will not use her own feet," said William, "but with her prosthetic legs." But......," he gestured to the floor, "the technology is in the basic science stage, and right now, Bertha is a major contributor to this stage." ”
"So what do you want to do now?" Huang Jie asked.
William walked up to him, "We must let Bertha into the same world as you, and then observe you by letting her experience a lot of genetic memories. We want to study everything that is malleable in your brain's motor cortex, so you need to experience as much ancestral memory as possible so that the technology will make a big difference. ”
