Chapter 5: Tampering with Consciousness
Titanium has strong plasticity, which depends on the purity of titanium, and the reason why Ji Yunfan chose to use titanium to make exoskeletons is to value this quality.
At present, there are no two days to complete the calculation, and the high-strength titanium steel alloy that Ji Yunfan can't use will first make a fool of the past.
Regarding the manufacture of exoskeletons, he actually accumulated a lot of experience in his previous life, on the one hand, it was the reserve of software technology, on the other hand, Chaoyuan originally relied on hardware, and Ji Yunfan was an important person in charge.
With software and hardware, as long as you can see it when the time comes, it shouldn't be a problem to cope with a baptism.
Putting aside all the messy thoughts, Ji Yunfan's mind was all immersed in making exoskeletons.
Hanging on the wall is a drawing of the exoskeleton of the right arm, the roar of machinery and the scorching heat intertwining in the small room.
The tinkling sound gradually gained a rhythm, like the famous symphony of the previous life!
The sky was bright and dark, dark and bright.
Before the alarm clock rang, Ji Yunfan finally finished his work.
……
On June 11, it was rare for the sun to appear, Ji Yunfan was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, his right hand was bulging, and his exposed palm was wearing an inappropriate glove.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Yang Daxia appeared in Ji Yunfan's sight and threw a protein bar over.
"I heard you met Old K?"
Ji Yunfan took out a wad of banknotes from his backpack, "Here, Lao K asked me to transfer it to you." ”
"Blanch!" As soon as he saw the money, Yang Daxia lost his temper all of a sudden, not only confiscated the money, but also took out a pile of scattered banknotes and stuffed it to Ji Yunfan, saying, "You also transfer this money to him, it's really unlucky." ”
Recalling the look on Lao K's expression when he said those words at that time, and looking at Yang Daxia's expression at the moment, Ji Yunfan had reason to suspect that there must be some ulterior secret between the two.
Although the gossip heart has exploded, Ji Yunfan knows that with his current friendship with Yang Daxia, some words are still not good.
"Look at you like this, you don't look like you haven't slept well, you won't be working for Lao K for the past two days!" Yang Daxia said, "But I can remind you, don't be deceived by that old boy." What is the most honest middleman in the ninth district, and when the time comes, you will not regret being cheated by him! ”
Ji Yunfan smiled and said that he had received it.
Yang Daxia scolded Lao K a few more words, and then took Ji Yunfan to the stronghold of the Como Society.
Como's stronghold is well known in the 9th arrondissement, and in this era of prosthetic prosthetics, people don't mind a certain part of their body being modified into a prosthetic, except for a certain group of people.
In such an environment, there are many more followers of the Mechanic Cult and even subordinate institutions like Como, which has also led to many people being willing to join the Mechanicus Cult.
However, the referral system that the Mechanic God Cult has always used needs to be recommended by the elderly for more than ten years, and work for the community for two years without compensation, so that they can get the quota of reserve members, and then a series of assessments, and finally accept baptism to become a righteous member of the Mechanicus Cult.
There is a criterion here, that is, before being recommended by the introducer, you must be a native person.
The so-called protos are people who have not received any prosthetic modification or implantation, including prosthetic eyes and brain-computer interfaces.
There are also many rumors about the Cult of the Mechanicus, and it is rumored that it is a pawn placed by the company in the Lower Nine Districts. As for what the company's intentions are in doing so, no one can say for sure.
Ji Yunfan didn't bother to think about this, how many "why not eat minced meat" throughout the ages, saying famous sayings such as "people must have near-term worries if they have no foresight", but in this situation, it is already necessary to do your best to live, so how can you think about too many things.
Even when Ji Yunfan was the hardest in his previous life, he never felt such a burden on his body. Now, the contact between the two sides of the Mechanic God Cult and Old K, if you are not careful, you may end up in death.
In short, let's get through today's baptism ceremony in peace!
Como's stronghold was not as grand as it had been, and from the outside, it was a slightly larger complex of buildings, with dozens of small three-story buildings in a large open space.
Looking at the surrounding vegetation and battle-damaged appearance, Ji Yunfan had reason to believe that this was originally an unfinished building.
There were not many words along the way, and two big men stood at the door of the complex, and after a brief inspection of the two, they were released.
After passing through several small buildings, the two finally arrived at the destination of their trip, a huge square reinforced concrete building.
The layout of this square building is somewhat similar to that of the previous shopping mall, so it seems that this description is not accurate, and it is more like the Colosseum of ancient Rome!
In the middle of the entire "Colosseum", instead of a matador and a bull, there is a cube of glass with a side of nine meters.
In the center of the transparent glass room, an operating table is placed somewhat abruptly and naturally.
Next to the operating table, in addition to the strange instruments, several men and women in white coats have been waiting for a long time.
Ji Yunfan's brows furrowed, on the steps of the "Colosseum", there were already more than 100 people sitting at this time, and they seemed to be waiting to observe the baptism.
Today, Ji Yunfan is not the only one who undergoes the baptism ceremony.
A few minutes later, several more people arrived.
Suddenly, a bell was heard, and the prosthetic eye operated uncontrollably in the sound of the bell, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
In an instant, a magnificent palace came into existence from scratch, and the central glass room also changed color.
The lines that symbolize human beings run on the vast land, and the sun is warm at this time, the land is vast, and human beings love each other......
Until, something shining red suddenly fell down in the sky.
The huge explosion immediately swept the whole world, the mountains and rivers were subverted, the sun was gone, and countless human beings lost their lives, homes, and countries in the explosion......
A thick gray fog enveloped the land, and the breath of death enveloped all that was left of the world, until a beam of light broke through the fog and shot straight into the starry sky.
Instantly, the Iron Giant stood up from under the Light Technique, only to see him wave his arm, and the fog was finally dispelled by him, and the light descended again.
The people in the entire "Colosseum" watched this scene with great reverence, and when the light came, they shouted in unison: "Flesh and blood are weak, and the machine is soaring!" ”
Ji Yunfan was driven by the picture in front of him, and he unconsciously shouted: "Flesh and blood are weak, and the machine flies ......."
Before he finished reading the teaching, he suddenly trembled, and a cold sweat oozed from Zhou's body, and a strong fear quickly overwhelmed him.
With the pious eyes around him, Ji Yunfan couldn't tell how much was truly pious.
"This is not piety, this is brainwashing under technology, this is consciousness tampering!"
Ji Yunfan felt that the brain-computer interface installed behind his ears seemed to be starting to exude a temperature that could incinerate everything.
