One inch wood loyalty reveals the kind of flattering expression that is characteristic of Japanese subordinates to superiors. "That's amazing, Councillor, is this terrifying weapon the legendary monomolecular thread?"

Dvoru scoffed and said, "Monolithic lines? That's a pipe dream in science fiction, monomolecular structures can't withstand any shear stress at all, nonsense!"

"So, are they nanotubes? I've heard that carbon nanotubes are incredibly strong and ......very thin," the Japanese exclaimed.

The blonde young man shook his head, "Nanotubes alone are not enough, what I have in my hand is a highly conductive polyaniline carbon nanotube hairspring, and the splitting object is the instantaneous high heat caused by high-voltage discharge, if the wound is reset immediately after cutting, the destroyed lattice structure will be more tightly bonded than before, which is why you can't see the incision on the stainless steel box." - Of course, if I cut off your head, it will inevitably cause a little blood clot or something, but trust me, you will live, - after weighing it accurately, dear brother 454. ”

The man smiled brightly, and the muscles of his cheeks twitched twice silently in the gas mask, but there was no tremor in his voice: "That must be a special experience, Councillor." What I don't understand is the source of the high voltage, do you have a small fuel cell hidden in you? Lithium batteries can't provide high enough voltage. ”

Dvoru happily held up two fingers, his fingertips crackling and flashing with golden arcs, "So, that's the end of the break, let's take a look at the models in the back." ”

"Of course, Councillor. The Japanese respectfully took a few steps back, trying to suppress their natural fears. The more time he came into contact, the farther and farther the mysterious commissioner, who had too many secrets on his body, from the definition of a "human" species, and of course, any questioning of members of the high-class Brotherhood was strictly forbidden, and he had to keep his distance as much as possible.

The two men walked through the yellow-green gas room one after the other, and came to another stainless steel box, and looked down at the data on the LED screen, "Test body No. 67, weighing 4.9 kilograms, has been in continuous operation for 17 years. The mortality rate of the test subject in the middle stage is relatively high, this is the longest surviving individual, and the current health is not very good, and the platelet content is almost at the critical line. ”

Dvoru bent down and looked through the acrylic lid at the remains of the coffin. The whole device is a translucent spherical glass cover, soaked in the pale yellow liquid is a skull with black holes in the eye socket, the skull has no mandible, even the teeth of the upper jaw have been completely removed, various pipes penetrate into the skull from the back of the head and nostrils, due to the flow of fluid, the skeleton floats up and down slightly in the glass cover, as if nodding to the people outside.

"Why is this happening?" said the commissioner.

"After stripping off the skin and facial organs, removing the mandible, and removing the eyeball, the weight of the skull was reduced to about 3.7 kilograms, and the miniaturized PCB device sent blood directly to the blood vessels in the brain, and the skull existed to constrain the shape of the brain, which was the limit of what could be done at the time. One inch wood explained, trying not to look at the skeleton's hollow eye sockets.

"Immature products, you are going the wrong way. Dvoru shook his head and walked on. The Japanese who followed behind agreed, "You're right, Senator, the results of these experiments were completely overturned by the later proposals, and even Dr. Arakawa, who was in charge of the experiments at the time, ......."

"Oh!" the Japanese grumble was interrupted by the commissioner's exclamation, and the slender European man stood in front of a very small steel coffin, pointing to the contents of it: "This form is quite good. ”

An inch of wood walked over, reached out and stroked the transparent coffin lid, the look of disgust on his face disappeared, replaced by an intoxicated expression of an artist examining his masterpiece, "This is test subject No. 101, weighing 1.5 kilograms, and has been in operation for 11 years. By completely discarding the PCB device, the overall weight of the test subject was greatly reduced by adjusting the electrolyte concentration and oxygen content in the solution to maintain brain function. This was also the third subject I was involved in concocting, when I was a peripheral member of the Brotherhood as Minister of the Interior of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office, and was specially approved to participate in Asmantis' top-secret research program. Thank you, Elder Deacon, for your appreciation......"

It's a brain floating in a round glass ball. The cerebral cortex suspended in the pale yellow solution is pale pink, except for a few electrodes, there are no PCB devices and pipelines, and the whole device appears clean and compact, full of technological beauty.

"I'm not a surgeon, but this brain looks like there's something missing. Dvoru mused.

"You're very observant, Councillor. The Japanese quietly praised, "The cerebellum of this test subject has been completely removed, so the weight has been reduced by 135 grams." We attempted to harvest the diencephalon, but the loss of the thalamus apparently affected the subject's perception and judgment, and Subject 99 became a choice-phobia who was unable to make any decisions, and we had to euthanize him. ”

The commissioner nodded, and suddenly a curious expression appeared on his face: "I have another very interesting question, this poor fellow - no, can this poor brain remember what he was like? Every time I look in the mirror, I feel that I don't look the same as I imagined, do you feel that way?"

"I'm completely different from you, Councillor, I just hate the almost bald and overweight old man in the middle of the group photo." When it comes to memories of their own bodies, 'First World' statistics show that among some of the logins who reshape their bodies according to their perceptions, the avatar only matches their real appearance 35 percent of the time, and most subjects unconsciously beautify their appearance and figure. ”

"Ahh Dvoru nodded, "People always think that they are above average, but they didn't expect an incomplete brain to have such psychosocial problems. By the way, what race are these people who risk flesh for the brotherhood? Are they Japanese?"

Without hesitation, the Japanese replied: "For the accuracy of the trial data, the samples were taken from a random population of different races, ages, genders, and weights, but this brain did come from a Japanese woman, in fact, she was one of my friends." ”

"Dedication is the best virtue. The commissioner smiled.

"Of course, Councillor. An inch of wood reciprocated with a humble smile.

After inspecting the No. 10 computer room, Dvoru appeared to be more satisfied, and took the lead in opening the sliding door and walking out of the empty room. "So, let's go up, the air here is not good for health after all. The blonde man thoughtfully opened his right hand, and the base of his long, slender fingers was actually covered with amphibian-like webbed membranes, and the translucent pink webbed membranes were slowly growing festering blisters. The Japanese hurriedly looked away, pretending not to see anything unusual, "Okay Senator, I hope you enjoy Kikunoi's kaiseki cuisine for lunch, which has just been awarded three Michelin stars, and is a pure Japanese flavor that even foreigners can enjoy." ”

The two of them walked in the dark and long passageway, and Dvoru gently waved his hand to remove the yellow-green mist, "Food is not so important to me, why don't you briefly introduce the operation of the 'First World'." ”

Yicun Mu immediately spoke: "Yes." It has been exactly 20 years since the start of the test, and the stable timing of 700 ppm has been the core and foundation of the entire Asmantis' initial construction. With the exception of a two-hour interruption in the previous period of quantum darkness, nearly 1,000 test subjects have been living in the 'First World', and in the past twenty years, there have been three cases of natural deaths, with the exception of those who died accidentally due to modulation errors. If you wish, you can enter the 'First World' at any time through the life capsule, and I, Nanabe-kun, and Kosaka-kun will accompany you there. ”

"Life pod? Dvoru shook his head, "I've heard that First World is a very nice place, isn't it?"

"Yes. The Japanese replied, "It was designed from the point of departure of hedonism, providing a variety of pure enjoyment within a basic framework of real society, and of course, in order to maintain the sound personality of the person who entered it, it still had a variety of contingencies and prescribed the necessary working hours." ”

"So, why would a test subject commit suicide? I heard that it is not easy to try all means of suicide and eventually die of cerebral congestion due to continuous mental stimulation for too long. The commissioner said lightly.

A drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and it dripped on the glass cover of the gas mask, "This...... Senator, the construction of the 'First World' has been deemed a failure, and the project is effectively on hold, you know, on the issue of responsibility......"

Dvoru laughed, turned around and patted the Japanese on the shoulder: "Relax, relax, just kidding." The Speaker knew that such a virtual world would not provide enough authenticity and diversity to need, and that the 'first world' was a good place to explore, but now, it doesn't matter. ”

An inch of wood stood there loyally and solemnly, not knowing how to react: "Thank you, Councillor......

At this time, the blonde man was suddenly stunned, and tapped his temple with his fingers: "What? great...... Brother 454, let's go to a room with a large projection screen, I need your help. ”

The two of them returned to the break room on the eleventh basement floor, and the commissioner unfolded a large map of Europe on the projection wall, "I asked the Speaker not long ago to inform Beirusai Babu that the Lord of the Flies would share the entropy map of the 'Prophet' with the Temple Cross of Thorns, do you see what's happening now, the quantum probability rate is collapsing towards a location. ”

The Japanese, who had worked in Beirusheb, found the key points in the complex image at a glance and exclaimed, "Yes, Senator, this is the position...... It's Mongolia!"
