Chapter 40: The Secret of the Prosthesis

Seeing Lin Mo say the sentence "I want to be a legend" with a serious face, Xu Wanxue was stunned for a few seconds, and finally didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Her mood at this time is like that of ordinary parents who see their children and say with a serious expression, "I will become a bump man in the future and defeat you two monsters."

It's funny, it's funny, and it's a little comforting.

"Tell me, how do you want to be a legend?"

Xu Wanxue hugged her knees and tilted her head to look at Lin Mo with a smile on her face.

She naturally remembered that Lin Mo often secretly hid from her in the past and went to her private small base to train.

But in her opinion, these so-called physical exercises are after all children's petty fights, and in today's era of universal prosthetics, physical training is the most useless and time-wasting behavior.

Even the musclemaniacs of the Animal Gang, who worship flesh and pursue the wild nature of animals, don't do this.

Although they are all five big and three thick, and they are exercising their muscles every day, Xu Wanxue even suspects that those people may even have muscles in their heads, and their heads are not very bright.

But they are not stupid enough to waste time doing physical exercises in ancient times, and their current workouts are all through various synthetic hormones, various drugs to promote rapid muscle strengthening, supplemented by high-intensity muscle stimulation exercises.

The end result of this reckless injection of potions is that the most powerful members of the Animal Gang often have physical strength that rivals that of beasts!

When Xu Wanxue found out that Lin Mo was exercising, she was worried that he would use all kinds of hormones that exceeded the reasonable amount.

But thankfully, he didn't.

Otherwise, Xu Wanxue really couldn't imagine her younger brother from a sweet and delicious crisp pear to a bloated and sturdy stinky sweet potato.

Facing Xu Wanxue's questioning, Lin Mo didn't explain much, turned around and walked into the house, and when he came back, he was already holding a ruler in his hand.

"You hold the top end, I put my hand on the end of the ruler, and then you suddenly let go, and I pinch the ruler again." Lin Mo said.

"Measuring reaction speed, yes, I often do this kind of experiment in the company."

Xu Wanxue saw the significance of this little game at a glance, and she was also happy to play this little game with Lin Mo.

When the two of them were ready, Lin Mo's hand was placed on the lower end of the ruler, staring intently at the ruler, while Xu Wanxue pinched the top end of the ruler, looked at Lin Mo and then let go inadvertently.

The next second, she was stunned.

Because she saw that the ruler did not fall due to gravity, but stopped in mid-air, as if she had not let go at all.

Looking down, I saw that Lin Mo pinched the bottom of the ruler very easily, and almost didn't let the ruler fall even half a centimeter.

"Such a quick response...... You implanted Kronzikov? No, there are no traces of Kronzikov's implantation on your back either. Xu Wanxue muttered to herself in disbelief.

Krenzikov, known as the Neuroreflex Component, is a prosthetic that was born during the same technological explosion as the Sänwistein prosthesis.

If Sänweistan, known as the "Speed Component", is the sharp spear of the top mercenaries, then Krenzikov, known as the "Nerve Reflex Component", will be an indispensable dodge shield for mercenaries.

The prosthesis is a long strip that resembles a spine, and many mercenaries nickname it a centipede.

Because anyone who has this prosthesis implanted has to have a prosthetist perform a surgical operation to extract the original multiple sections of the spine from his body, and then replace the extracted spine with Kronzikov.

After the surgery is completed, the person implanted with the prosthesis will also have a metal shell-like explicit device on the posterior midline of the back, like a metal centipede parasitic on the back spine.

Unless the person is implanted with bionic skin as a cover, the implant marks of the prosthesis can be seen at a glance.

In the game, the prosthetic has the same "time-slowing" effect as Ann Weistan, except that it is passively triggered and has a short-lived duration, while the latter is active.

And now that he has come to the real cyber world, after so many years of hearing and seeing, Lin Mo is very familiar with this prosthesis, and the setting in the game is no longer 100% credible after it is transformed into reality.

This prosthesis claims to enhance a person's nervous reflexes, but in fact it is not at all comparable to the miraculous slowing effect of Silwestein.

Its greatest effect is to increase the limits of human reflexes, and to load a neuroreflex-like effect.

This effect is similar to an unconditioned reflex such as the "knee jerk reflex".

When the implanter is in a state of nervous tension, mental tension and other stress, the prosthesis will passively enhance the implanter's neural reaction speed to achieve a "pseudo-time stop" effect.

With this effect, you will feel the flow of time around you slow, but you will also be slowed down.

Because the prosthesis only enhances your nervous reflexes, it does not stimulate the physical body like Snwistin does, allowing the implanter to maintain the same speed in a slow state.

"The effect provided by Kronzikov is only passively triggered when the nerves are tense, but I am different, my own reaction speed is so fast." Lin Mo explained.

He put the ruler back on the table, and suddenly felt a chill for no reason, and when he looked up, he saw that his sister was looking at him with a fiery face.

"It's worthy of my younger brother, such a high talent, if the experimenters in the company have such a high talent as you, the speed of product development will be at least several times higher." Xu Wanxue couldn't help but admire.

If she found an ordinary person with such a high talent on weekdays, Xu Wanxue would definitely do everything she could to get that person to participate in the human experiments of the company's research and development products.

But now the person who shows this talent in front of her is his younger brother, and Xu Wanxue is reluctant to let him act as a guinea pig.

Lin Mo was stunned when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, and asked:

"Does the talent of the experimenters still affect the effectiveness of the use of prosthetics?"

Xu Wanxue lifted her forehead hair on one side, took a sip of wine, looked at Lin Mo with a curious baby look, and hesitated whether to tell him about the research results in the company.

But in the end, it was the pampering that prevailed, and she put down her glass and answered the question:

"Yes, this is also the most troublesome thing for us, everyone is a unique individual, it is difficult for us to control the differences in physical functions and natural abilities of each experimenter, and the experimental data of various products also show the importance of talent."

"There are people who are very talented, such as people with strong reflexes, who are extremely tolerant of prosthetics like Sänwistein and Kronzikov, and ordinary people can only use them a few times a day, but they can use them more than a dozen times."

"Not only that, but the effect of slowing down time will also be enhanced when people with good talent use Swystein, and the type 2 speed components on the market today can slow down time by 50%, but for people with high talent, they can reach 60-70%."

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”

Xu Wanxue spread her hands and said helplessly:

"It's not because of the complexity of the human nervous system that you think the real world is a game? People are not machines, do you really think that you can keep this number all the time by just getting a value? ”

"The speed components on the market are said to be able to slow down the time by 50%, but in fact, the results obtained by converting the average value with a large amount of experimental data, if the average person uses it, it should be slowed down to about 50%."

Lin Mo suddenly realized.

As Xu Wanxue said, he did use the thinking of games to replace the relevant knowledge of understanding prosthetics.

After all, people are not machines, people are changeable, and although they can be implanted with prostheses today, they are still the main body after all.

How can it be like in the game, if you say that the time is slowed down to 50%, it will always stay at 50%...

Lin Mo frowned, and a conjecture suddenly appeared in his mind, so he hurriedly asked:

"Is this pattern also influenced by the Sianweistein model? The higher the type of prosthesis, the more difficult it is for ordinary people to bear the side effects of prosthesis? ”

Xu Wanxue looked at her younger brother in surprise, and the expression on her face seemed to say, "How do you know?"

"Is that your instinct again?" She shook her head helplessly and smiled.

No, it's the premise of the game...... Lin Mo complained, but he still pretended to smile mysteriously on his face.

In Cyberpunk 2077, most of the prosthetics in the game require the attributes of the game character to meet the requirements before they can be implanted at the prosthetic doctor.

Can I listen to Xu Wanxue's statement, ordinary people can also implant those prosthetics with extremely high load and great side effects, but the tolerance is different?

Again, if the mandatory set attributes meet the requirements, the high-end prosthesis can be implanted.

Then it is impossible for these prosthetics to fall into the hands of prosthetic doctors, let alone sell them to those top mercenaries, and they will not even be developed.

Xu Wanxue sighed, after so many years of getting along, it was not surprising that she had an intuition about Lin Mo, which can be called "predicting the future".

"Indeed, as you said, according to our research, the higher the model of the prosthesis, the greater the load, like the 2 type is a product of a generation difference over the 1 type, and it is normal for the load to become higher while the performance is enhanced."

"And we've also found that there are people who are very talented, and they implant some lower models of prostheses, and no matter how many times they use it, they don't have side effects."

Xu Wanxue lowered her head, shaking the remaining liquor in the wine glass in her hand, and the wine in the glass reflected her deep eyes.

"But with the exception of Type 3 and above, we have tested that if we want to carry the Sänwistan Type 3, or the Kronzikov Type 3, the innate abilities required are far beyond the limits of human beings."

"Not only do we have the data we tested, but also the data we have obtained from other companies, and so far, no experimenter has been gifted enough to ignore the side effects of Ann Waistein Type 3."

Lin Mo frowned, regarding the information Xu Wanxue mentioned, he seemed to remember the setting in the game.

But where the Type 3 Snwestein ... Seems to require a character's reaction stat of 12 to equip.

Reaction 10 is already the limit of human beings, and if you want to break through this limit, you must implant other prosthetics that enhance the response and break through the limit of attributes.

Therefore, people who can meet the conditions of this attribute cannot be reduced to experimenters.

In other words, in reality, you must meet the corresponding attribute requirements in order to ignore the load of the prosthetic body and become like the game character V can use it as many times a day.

In this way, do the prosthetic bodies of the rest of the body also follow this law?

Lin Mo fell into deep thought.

Xu Wanxue continued to look at Lin Mo, got up and walked to Lin Mo's side, and gently stroked his hair:

"Actually, with me, you don't need to implant those prosthetic bodies that are harmful to your body."

"Even if you want stars in the sky, with today's aviation technology, I can ask someone to help you bring back a meteorite from the sky!"

"Is there anything else you're not satisfied with?"

Xu Wanxue stared at Lin Mo with burning eyes, her eyes were full of tenderness.

......

PS: In addition to the chapter of the setting, I would like to mention that the nickname for [Swiftstein] is [Speed Component].
