At this moment, in the living room.

Ni Meow lay on the table and looked at Wang Chao in the science module through the spaceship's monitor.

Many years ago, her prosthetic level was only 80%, and at that time, her power furnace was still in her chest, and the output was far less than the one she put in her stomach now, so the overall energy consumption of her prosthesis was also a grade lower than now.

Of course, the performance is also a notch lower.

There is no technical generation difference between prostheses, and it is an iron law that the higher the energy consumption, the higher the performance.

Energy, performance and heat dissipation are the iron triangle of prosthetic matching, and the trade-off between these three is still "that" Wang Chao taught Ni Meow.

The reason why Ni Meow later moved the power furnace to the abdomen, in addition to the pursuit of performance, was that she witnessed all kinds of scumbag behaviors on Wang Chao.

A long time ago, Ni Meow decided that she could be teammates with Wang Chao, but she must not fall in love with him, so in order to avoid her own ghosts, she simply gave all the parts that secrete estrogen to Karma and replaced them with a reliable power furnace.

No, that scum hasn't been in a relationship at all so far, it's just that the women think they're in love.

When that guy gets tired of playing, he won't hesitate to find a place to settle her down, and then run to the next beauty.

Nimeow has always had a sense of superiority, because she is a comrade, not a superficial plaything. Whenever Wang Chao needed a reliable hacker, he would always appear out of nowhere and bring endless trouble.

Now, that perception has completely collapsed.

Nimeow changed her position, sighed, and whispered, "That guy actually turned back?" Really in love? How can it be. ”

Although there is a huge gap between the various performances of this Wang Chao and the prodigal son in Ni Meow's impression, it is almost like being pierced by human souls in those novels of ancient times, but this cannot explain the fact that the soul scan results are exactly the same.

So after logical reasoning, Ni Meow was inclined to which task Wang Chao was in, and was "treated" by a guy who specializes in psychology.

After combining with brain-computer science, modern psychology is already very terrifying, even if that Wang Chao is caught, if he is caught dismantling the prosthetic body and leaving only a positron brain, it is possible that it will be distorted by psychologists.

But will that ace bounty hunter roll over to this point?

There is another possibility, that is, Wang Chao's strange and powerful ability now. Just now, Nimeow clearly heard him recite the smashing of Varudo, which was the iconic line of the character in the ancient animation that Wang Chao recommended to Nimeow a long time ago, which was used to activate his abilities.

If I'm not mistaken—in fact, there are only three percent of the cerebral cortex left, and Nimeow can't be mistaken—that ability is time stops.

The legends about superpowers have not stopped since humans went to the sea of stars.

For example, the Normalization Cult with Solaris at its core, they have always believed that Solaris has psychic abilities.

The planet Solaris is a planet with an almost entirely gel ocean on its surface, and the microbes in it are connected into a vast network of neurons, eventually forming something - something.

The Unification Church believes that it is superintelligence and can grant devout believers all sorts of magical superpowers.

Scientists outside of Homology generally believe that the neuronal network on Solaris does not have sufficient complexity to self-organize into intelligence, and that the so-called superpowers are only hallucinogenic effects of the native creatures of Solaris that the Unified Church uses as the Eucharist.

Nimeow was a staunch supporter of this argument, but now, after the actual time stopped, she was shaken.

Superpowers exist, but the price is to change the person?

One thing to say, Ni Meow has a pretty good impression of the current Wang Chao.

This...... Maybe a good thing?

The most important thing is that if it is the current Wang Chao, if he will not abandon the women who have lost interest now, if he is dedicated and long-lasting now......

Nimeth suddenly noticed that the power of her cooling system had increased, and she could even hear the sound of the circulating pump speeding up.

- What was I thinking?

At this time, in the screen of the monitor, Wang Chao returned to the infirmary and began to operate on Lily.

The guy actually asked the girl, "Do you think it's better to start with the little robot?" I recommend walking the short one. ”

- What is he doing?

The most important thing is that the former Galactic Singer is not shy at all, maybe the education she received allows her to be generous and natural at all times.

Lily: "Walk over there, I don't know how the human body is anatomically, so I should go over and take a sample." ”

- What is she doing again, give me a little shyness!

Wang Chao: "Okay, then you turn it over." ”

- Don't talk as if you're flipping salted fish, okay? What's going on with this old husband and wife model!

**

On Wang Chao's side, the sampling was completed smoothly.

He tossed the flora into the culture tank in the infirmary and said, "By the time the printing is done in the science cabin, the flora will probably be more or less worth it." ”

When he said this, Wang Chao couldn't help but sigh, the technology in this era is really advanced, and a spaceship can produce a prosthetic body that can replace the digestive system in just such a little time.

When he first crossed, he was deceived by the retro interior of the spaceship that seemed to be copied from the "Starfield" game, and he actually felt that human technology was wrong.

As he sighed, Lily asked, "How long will it take for me to have surgery?" ”

Wang Chao: "Two hours." ”

"And how long will it be before we jump to the Doyle station?"

"The ship's gravity acceleration system is being overhauled and some consumable parts are being replaced. It will take about two hours. ”

Yes, ships of this era could not jump continuously, and they had to be overhauled every time they jumped, which can be approximated as "cooling".

The Greyhound class has the printing ability of LV3, so you don't need to carry too many replacement parts, just melt the replaced spare parts and re-type.

Ships that do not have this printing capability will have to bring spare parts for the replacement of the gravity engine, in addition to carrying the propellant of the helium-triple and working fluid engines.

Lily: "And I happened to be having surgery when we set off?" ”

Wang Chao: "The operation is very simple. ”

He looked at the whole set of clinical medicine that had just been poured into his head: "It will only take about fifteen minutes." ”

Lily: "So fast?" ”

"yes, but you'll have to lie in the medical pod for 12 hours after that until the wound heals completely."

"Huh? Am I not a prosthetic? Isn't it all over with electric welding? ”

"You've just changed your digestive system, not your entire lower body."

Lily pouted, "Hmm...... So when will I be able to change the lower half of my body? ”

Wang Chao: "Wait until I touch your legs enough." ”

"That's over, I'm going to use meat legs forever."

You're so confident.

Lily suddenly thought of a good idea and said, "Otherwise, don't throw it away after replacing my lower body, connect a life support device to it, and then a controller, and you can touch it casually." ”

Wang Chao was shocked, what kind of book is this unfolding, do you want to hang this thing on the wall after that?

"You," he said to Lily speechlessly, "be reserved, you're a pure galactic singer." ”

"Not anymore, I'm your wife now."

"Girlfriend."

"It makes no difference!"

Wang Chao didn't answer, he was using the powerful function of his brain at this time to simulate the situation of operating on Lily later.

At this time, Lily said again: "I will change my legs in the future, can I put a rocket engine in it?" ”

"The heat dissipation can't keep up."

In this era, although human beings have gravity accelerators and anti-gravity suspension devices, the conventional propulsion system still uses a working fluid engine - that is, to spray a certain substance backwards to obtain thrust.

There are also engines without working fluids, either solar wind or gravitational traction, which are relatively restrictive.

For example, gravitational traction requires two planets to be used as anchor points, swinging like Spider-Man.

It's not impossible to install an engineering engine on your legs, but the turboprop engine that everyone usually installs is like the anime "Strike Witch".

Some people want supersonic speeds, so they will install jet engines, but then they already need a specially designed cooling system.

Wang Chao began to explain the key to prosthetic matching to Lily, who had no knowledge of prosthetics at all, and at the same time to "review" himself, after all, he didn't understand these things, but only retained relevant memories.

It just so happens that he can turn his "memory" into his "knowledge reserve" through the explanation to Lily.

Wang Chao: "The three major elements of the prosthesis, power, performance and heat dissipation, the power can actually be divided into two parts: the output of the reactor and the power of the prosthesis, which are generally matched, and the total power of the prosthesis will be greater than the total power of the reactor.

"After all, not all prosthetics are operating at full power at all times.

"The performance is generally matched with the energy consumption, and the prosthetic body of the same generation technology is used, and the higher the energy consumption, the better the performance. The new generation of prostheses is not necessarily much better than the previous generation, but it generally consumes less energy.

"Heat dissipation is often overlooked, because most people with a prosthetic degree of less than 50 percent don't need to pay much attention to heat dissipation, but people like me with an 87 percent prosthetic rate need a specially designed heat dissipation device."

Lily exclaimed, "Do you mean the system that 'poofs' and spews out a reddish piece of iron?" ”

-, how do you say like I'm an M1 Garand rifle?

complained in his heart, Wang Chao nodded: "Yes, that's it." That's the heat volume, which is an alloy that absorbs heat very quickly and has a large capacity, and the heat dissipation system gathers the heat generated by the prosthetic body around the body, absorbs it by the heat capacity, and then ejects the body. ”

You said that the designers of this system did not refer to "Mass Effect 2 &3", Wang Chao did not believe it.

Wang Chao: "So when you choose a prosthetic, you have to have an overall consideration, you can't think of anything to install anything, like the two-foot engine, it is not easy to cooperate with the neurotactile acceleration, because the thrust of the engine will not become stronger because your nerves accelerate."

"In addition, this kind of engine has a lot of load on the cooling system, because we are in a state of low-speed movement most of the time, and we can't let the high-speed moving air take away most of the heat like a jet in the atmosphere."

Lily yelled, "It's so complicated! It's good if you help me choose! ”

Wang Chao: "Huh? I'll help you choose? ”

Lily nodded, "Hmm." You're the best mercenary and prosthetic user, and you're right. ”

After saying that, she thought of something happy again, and laughed: "And...... You're sure to keep your favorite parts for you, and I'll know what you're interested in. ”

Hearing this, Wang Chao subconsciously looked at her outer armor.

Lily noticed this as well and let out a hehehehe
