Chapter 179: Mechanical Exoskeleton
The resistance of the White Night's body has increased again.
The drug that is being used now has less and less of a role. [Emma] was even a little worried that the effect of the drug would not last until the end of the treatment.
There are still several stages of treatment, but now the resistance of Bai Ye's body is very obvious.
Bai Ye didn't know what was going on at this time, and he looked very happy.
Professor Sergei, a medical expert, keenly noticed that something was wrong.
He also knew that White Night's body was constantly tolerating the drug.
Wait until the white night leaves.
Professor Sergei frowned and said to [Emma], "[Emma], if I'm not mistaken, I used as much medicine this time as last time, right?" ”
[Emma] replied, "Yes." ”
"With the same drug, the therapeutic effect is only 2/3 of the effect of the last treatment. White Night's body resistance is growing too fast. Professor Sergei said worriedly: "If this continues, it is estimated that it will not last until the last stage." ”
[Emma] agreed, "That's right, Professor." I feel the same way. ”
"This erosion of his must be cured. Even if there is even a little hidden danger, it will come back. At that point, all our treatment and efforts will be in vain. ”
Professor Sergei sighed: "Alas. I really didn't expect this to be the result. ”
Neither of them said it explicitly, they already had the answer in their hearts.
And so it goes. It can only increase the survival time of White Night, but it cannot completely cure him.
"Unless......" Emma again brought up some possibility.
Last time, Professor Sergei heard about this possibility and immediately rejected it. Because the stakes are just too high.
At this time, he could only hang his head and did not object.
"It's very weird, but there's hope." Emma advised, "As long as there is hope, it is better than nothing." ”
"That's what I said. But who will be able to go there? Professor Sergei asked rhetorically.
[Emma] seemed stunned and thought for a moment: "There really is no one who can do it...... I forgot, Peter Pan is just more powerful in cyberspace. ”
"That's it. We can't do that, we can only look for other possibilities. ”
Professor Sergey finally concluded.
Emma's plan is completely hopeless.
What Professor Sergei didn't know was that [Emma] didn't actually think that way. In her heart, she already has a candidate......
The other side.
The white night of ten days of life has been added, and I feel that my steps are much lighter when I go out.
In this treatment, Johnny Silverhand was powerless to interfere at all. It was a qualitative breakthrough for me to watch a memory of Johnny Silverhand in its entirety for the first time. Gives him hope for the next treatment.
What's more, this time I added 10 days to my life! Compared to the previous month, this time it is equivalent to an increase of 1/3 of the life expectancy at once. How could this make Bai Ye unhappy.
He walked briskly on the road. Suddenly, I saw an acquaintance hurrying past me.
Cheng Xin.
I haven't seen Cheng Xin for a while. Bai Ye knew that because she recruited herself, her status in the company was rising, and it could be said that she was thriving. I'm sincerely happy for her.
However, after the Hongcheng network crash, the status of all cyber rovers has been affected to a certain extent. Cheng Xin should be the same.
Bai Ye saw that Cheng Xin was holding some mechanical materials in his hands, which looked like mechanical legs. The metal skeleton above glows with silver.
"What is this, a new project developed by Huinuo?" Bai Ye had some doubts in his heart.
This is not the category of artificial prostheses. It looks more like an exoskeleton or something.
He didn't care. Seeing Cheng Xin's hurried appearance, she didn't know what she was busy with, and she didn't ask her to chat.
I saw Cheng Xin walking into the diagnosis and treatment center in a panic. After less than half a minute, he hurried out again.
Seeing Bai Ye's figure, Cheng Xin hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Peter Pan!" Mr. Peter Pan! ”
It turned out that Cheng Xin was running around in such a hurry just to find Bai Ye.
It's just that her eyes didn't work just now. I didn't notice that the white night was not far from me.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ye looked at her and asked.
"Mr. Tang invites you to try out the company's new products, he was in a meeting just now, so let me contact you." Cheng Xin said breathlessly.
"Something to try, is this it?" Bai Ye pointed to the box in her hand.
"That's right! It has something to do with this thing, would you like to give it a try? Mr. Tang should be waiting for you in his office now. ”
Cheng Xin said respectfully to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye smiled: "You are here to contact me." ”
Cheng Xin: "Yes. ”
"Then I have to go to Tang Mingyuan's office." White Night continued.
Cheng Xin: "That's right. ”
"Then what are you doing with such a big box? Just come to me and I'm done? Bai Ye said.
Cheng Xin seemed to suddenly understand something. Scales fall from one's eyes.
"That's right! I didn't think of that! ”
Cheng Xin had a confused expression.
The white night was speechless. There should be too many things related to cyber rovers during this time, and Cheng Xin was confused. Doing things upside down.
He followed Cheng Xin to Tang Mingyuan's office. Tang Mingyuan was bored watching the TV news in his office.
"It's coming! Mr. Peter Pan, tell me to wait. Tang Mingyuan said half-jokingly: "Please take a seat!" ”
Then he faced Cheng Xin: "You put down these things, and you can rest." ”
Cheng Xinru was amnesty, said hello to Bai Ye and left.
"Looking for me in such a hurry? What's new? ”
Bai Ye asked curiously.
He felt that this was somewhat unusual.
He's a cyberroamer for the company, not a new product tester. Nor is it an engineer.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.
Why did Tang Mingyuan suddenly find himself to do this kind of thing, and he was very anxious by name?
Tang Mingyuan said with a smile: "The company has now set up a new department, which is responsible for the development of mechanical limbs. I am the main person in charge of this new department. ”
His appearance swept away the decadence of the previous period and looked proud.
In charge of two important departments at the same time, the [City of Fantasy] and the mechanical limb development department, Tang Mingyuan can be said to be in power, and his status is quite high.
"Congratulations! Mr. Tang has gone one step further. "Congratulations on the white night.
Tang Mingyuan accepted Bai Ye's blessing with a smile and looked at the box brought by Cheng Xin: "This thing is the first batch of mechanical limbs developed by the company working overtime. ”
"Because it's still the initial stage. Projects need to be kept confidential. We can only pick trustworthy people to experiment. ”
"The goal of this robotic limb is to be accessible to people of all ages. As a representative of young people, I tried it myself. ”
"Now there is a need for a trustworthy senior citizen to try it out, and I thought of you immediately. I don't know if you're interested? ”
Tang Mingyuan said to Bai Ye.
Of course White Night was interested in this thing. It looks like something completely different from cyberprosthetics, more like an assistive device.
When I put this thing on, I don't know if it will be the same as I imagined, like that kind of small mecha.
He nodded, "Yes, of course I can try it." ”
He then asked, "However, shouldn't there be such a thing as a mechanical limb that is directly mounted on the body?" How do I see this product as an exoskeleton? ”
Tang Mingyuan explained: "Of course, the goal is to develop and mass-produce this thing, and finally produce a large number of mechanical limbs. At that time, these mechanical limbs will not even have to be attached to humans, but directly to robots. ”
Listening to the prospect described by Tang Mingyuan, Bai Ye knew that the ultimate purpose of the company's research and development of this kind of thing should still be used for war.
He didn't comment on anything, that kind of thing had nothing to do with him. The company's decision-making and strategy are not something that he can influence alone.
He opened the box and pulled out the mechanical limbs inside.
The case is a transparent case and looks very delicate. When opened, two mechanical exoskeletons the size of forearms were placed on the velvet lining inside.
The skeleton of the alloy material, as well as the connecting parts of the unknown composite material. It looks pretty nice. It's not like a combat product, it's like a craft.
The part facing the white night is also engraved with a line of small characters: [Huinuo mechanical exoskeleton trial V1]
Sure enough, it was the first batch of models, and it was a trial model.
Bai Ye looked at the thing: "This is a limb used on the forearm?" What's the use, to assist the movement or to increase strength? ”
Look at the size of this thing. It is estimated that it can only be used on the forearm.
Tang Mingyuan smiled: "No, it's on your legs." ”
He walked over, found an inconspicuous button on the mechanical exoskeleton, and pressed it.
Suddenly, the mechanical exoskeleton made a mechanical sound, and it automatically stretched and expanded to the size of two legs!
Bai Ye was really surprised that Huinuo Company had such technical capabilities!
His expression made Tang Mingyuan quite satisfied: "Haha, Mr. Peter Pan is also so surprised!" This proves that we are doing a good job! ”
He pointed to the larger [Huinuo Mechanical Exoskeleton Trial V1]: "The reason why its initial form was made so small. It's all about portability. With this box, the size of a briefcase, it doesn't get in the way at all. When you use it, unfold it and place it on your lap. ”
"Awesome." Bai Ye said from the bottom of his heart.
He put the [Huinuo Mechanical Exoskeleton Trial V1] on his legs, and put it on easily.
Standing up, Bai Ye didn't feel anything except that his legs were a little heavy.
"This ...... It doesn't seem to work. Bai Ye said honestly.
Tang Mingyuan pointed to the three buttons on his waist: "Do you see those three buttons of different colors?" It will only start working when it is pressed. ”
"The three colors of red, yellow and green represent three different gears. Red is the highest, and green is the lowest output gear. ”
"The red output will give the legs quite a lot of explosive power. The disadvantage is that such a power also consumes a lot of energy. The battery life will be shorter. ”
"Yellow is a more moderate gear, I tried it, and I feel that ordinary young people who have not undergone any reinforcement are very suitable to use this gear."
"As for the green, the lowest output gear. will slightly strengthen your legs. It lasts a long time and is suitable for endurance-related activities. I suggest that you, as an elderly person, try it with the green output gear. ”
After Tang Mingyuan finished explaining, Bai Ye tried to press the green output gear.
An almost imperceptible sound of electricity sounded, and the [Huinuo Mechanical Exoskeleton Trial V1] activated.
Bai Ye tried to open his legs, and instantly felt that his leg strength was much stronger. His body, which was old at this time, suddenly became flexible.
I feel like I'm not being strengthened when my body is not strengthened.
In this way, the green gear of the lowest output gear is actually very high in blessings to the human body.
He tried to take two steps, and even jumped.
The body feels quite light!
[Huinuo Mechanical Exoskeleton Trial V1] is very stable, without a trace of the feeling of external things. It's as if born to grow on his body.
Bai Ye used it excitedly for a while, and his aging body felt a little tired, so he sat down.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to use." He said to Tang Mingyuan excitedly: "There is a feeling that I am 18 years old again. ”
"It's just that although the strength of the lower body has increased, the upper body is still the same aging and weak. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Tang Mingyuan said happily: "It's okay, we will launch the mechanical limbs of the upper body one after another in the future!" When the time comes, the whole body will be loaded and you will be eighteen again! ”
Bai Ye dismantled the [Huinuo Mechanical Exoskeleton Trial V1] and made it smaller again and put it back in the box.
"That's good, this stuff is good."
He looked at this thing with some reluctance.
It's a pity that the image in the outside world must be the appearance of an old man. Otherwise, it would be good to use his own body, use the yellow gear or even the red gear, and experience the power of this mechanical exoskeleton.
He dared to say that even if his physical fitness had been strengthened by Night City. Using this mechanical exoskeleton will also give you a considerable boost in your combat effectiveness.
I don't know if there's anything like that in Night City. If anything, it's not bad to get one from there.
Tang Mingyuan put away the exoskeleton: "It's a pity that this is the first batch of products to be tried. It will be improved in the future. ”
"Otherwise, you can just take it if you like it. When the next batch of products is developed in the future, I will definitely give you one. ”
For Tang Mingyuan, it is very cost-effective to exchange an industrial product that the company can mass-produce for Peter Pan's favor.
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Then thank you." ”
Tang Mingyuan waved his hand: "Where, where." As he spoke, he did it again on his computer.
It didn't take long for a sophisticated data map to be formed.
"This is the data graph of the output power of the exoskeleton just now." Tang Mingyuan pointed to the number above and said to Bai Ye.
