Cyber Heroes

The two facts "The knight must have an isotope battery to become stronger" and "The knight wants to get the isotope battery, he can only steal it from the eagle dog who has the isotope battery" sound like "I locked the key in the box "If you want to open the box, you must have a key, but if you want to have the key, you must open the box."

But this is not the case.

Isotope batteries are still batteries. Its output power may be higher than that of ordinary batteries, but it does not widen the essential gap.

The biggest advantage of radioisotope batteries is their stability and durability. An isotope battery can guarantee continuous power supply for ten years.

In contrast, chemical batteries can only support two or three days of normal operation or several hours of increased intensity combat.

In this way, knights can maintain long-term activities even if they have no base.

Not to mention hidden assassination.

Legend has it that a hundred years ago, a knight hid in a dark corner for a whole year, and then assassinated the Sanctuary cadres who approached.

This would be impossible without the long-lasting power supply of isotope batteries.

In terms of output power per unit time, radioisotope batteries have advantages, but they are not significant.

At this level, what has a greater impact on "instantaneous output" is not the energy source, but the quality of the capacitor and the mechanical structure itself.

Therefore, it is possible for warriors without isotope batteries to defeat warriors equipped with isotope batteries.

But reactors are a whole other level of problem.

If Xiangshan had a radioactive isotope battery at this moment, he could wander around in the sandstorm at will to hunt the protector forces in the wilderness.

But the problem seems to be here.

So far, Xiangshan has not actually grabbed the radioisotope battery.

Among the highest-status people he has killed so far, Bengel probably used an ordinary battery [because he was not contaminated with radiation that was significantly higher than the environment], and Balbo was not equipped with an isotope battery.

"That's true..." The single-killer king nodded: "Bengel is a scientific research knight, and Balbo is a master of military martial arts. There is no need for them to use isotope batteries."

As a research knight, Bengel rarely leaves the Methodist Building. And Balbo basically stayed in the army or in the tank.

They have energy reserves around them that can be used at any time, so they don’t need to worry about running out of energy.

So there is no need to equip this energy source.

"But the only people with higher status than them are senior cadres like Amircare Zhao, right?" Xiang Shan said a little melancholy: "How can we fight this..."

The prosthetic body used by Amilcare Zhao is over three meters tall. At this height, the prosthetic body is enough to accommodate a small reactor and more external interfaces.

It's almost impossible to fight him without the Isocell.

Matsushima Hiro leaned against the wall: "You must have mistaken the key point, right?"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Xiang Shan nodded and said.

"What determines whether a protector force martial artist can be equipped with an isotope battery is not his position, but his level of external skills." Matsushima Hiro said: "No matter how good you are in military martial arts, if your level of external skills is not up to par, you may be touched by the warrior. When he came to his side, he killed him with one strike. According to legend, King Agni and Martial Ancestor fought several times, and Martial Ancestor almost broke through the final defense line at least three times."

Hearing this, Yuki immediately looked at Xiangshan.

Xiang Shan nodded: "Does one have to pass external skills before being allowed to equip isotope batteries? This is quite reasonable."

The government's prosthetic bodies and equipment are of the type that are extremely powerful but extremely low in durability. The same is true for the phonon knife, and the same is true for artificial muscle fibers. The former requires changing the blade every time you hit it, while the latter requires constant replacement of broken fibers to maintain full power.

In this technological development route, is there no meaning of "restricting knights"?

Even if most of the government's equipment falls into the hands of knights, it is often difficult for knights to use it.

But isotope batteries are completely opposite to this idea.

An isotope battery can last for more than ten years or even decades.

Therefore, martial arts masters who are allowed to install such devices often have jobs such as "hunting down specific people in the world" and cannot keep supplies at all times.

He must prove that he can protect the battery in his body.

Jardel nodded and said: "Yeah, that's true...but senior brother, aren't you a stranger to the world? How do you still know this?"

Matsushima Hiroshi pointed to himself: "Because I am in charge of testing."

"What?"

"In their understanding, even if I am not at full strength, I am also a rare expert in the field of external skills, so there are some assessments in this city that need to test external skills, and the asylum seekers will think of me - this shouldn't be something difficult to understand, right? "

Xiang Shan nodded: "You continue."

"So I will be pulled to test whether the applicants in the asylum camp are qualified to do anything. Among them is 'whether they can be equipped with isotope batteries.' This kind of thing doesn't happen often, but I still encountered it."

Xiang Shan's eyes lit up: "If you say so, can you provide some information..."

"Ah, I'm sorry about that." Matsushima Hiro shook his head: "That's all I remember. If you ask me who specifically participated in the assessment, I really can't remember them."

"ah?"

"If I participate in this kind of assessment, I must open the underlying protocol and suppress the activity of the nerves in the hippocampus."

Hearing this, Jardel stood up angrily and said, "They...they would actually do this to you? How can you tolerate it?"

"There's nothing that can't be tolerated." Matsushima Hiro shook his head.

"This is asking you to open up the underlying protocol! This is putting your life and soul in the hands of those people!"

In medicine, the "hippocampus" is an infolding area of ​​the cerebral cortex and plays a vital role in the process of memory transformation. The hippocampus is responsible for converting "short-term memory" into "long-term memory", which is burned in the cortical area.

A person with damage to the hippocampus will not be affected in thinking, but short-term memory can no longer be converted into long-term memory. He can remember what just happened, but then forget it all—he is unable to generate new long-term memories.

It can be said that a person with damage to the hippocampus will always live on the last day before his brain is damaged. He would be confused as he watched himself grow older in the mirror, watching the familiar people around him suddenly become strangers, without realizing that time was moving forward.

Electronic devices, brain-computer barriers and biological brains are connected together. Among them, some electronic devices are responsible for inputting information directly into the brain - a process that means it can apply electrical stimulation to the biological brain.

And when a person opens up the underlying authority of his own prosthetic body and allows external operations to interfere with the electronic components directly connected to the brain, the operator can interfere with the neural activities in the brain at will, rounding and flattening a living thought.

Matsushima Hiro's hippocampal activity was suppressed during the operation. Then within this period of time, everything he has experienced will not be converted into long-term memory, and the information will not be leaked.

Matsushima Hiroshi regretfully said to Mukayama: "As you can see, I only remember the test, but I don't remember the people who participated in the test at all. So it is impossible for me to provide a list to tell you who has the isotope battery." .”

"Hey! Brother, we are talking about another thing!" Jader said: "Did you really let them do that to your brain? How could you endure it? You..."

He pulled off the charging cable irritably, walked around the living room twice, and said: "Is your current idea of ​​'tolerable' really your own? No... your awkward personality is different from when you were young. It’s not like that either. They…”

Xiang Shan said: "Perhaps there is no need to worry too much about this. If the old boxer really had other intentions, we would have been arrested long ago."

What Xiangshan thought of was the mysterious "little brother".

"Little Brother" is undoubtedly the top internal skill of this era. And Matsushima Hiroshi is Little Brother’s collaborator. The little brother is not indifferent to the mental state of this collaborator.

However, this incident made him take another high look at Matsushima Hiro.

It is truly remarkable to be able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure.

He changed the topic and said: "Let's go back to the Earth-Drilling Dragon. Those guys who collect uranium ore. Do you know their contact information?"

Jardel finally calmed down a little. He sighed: "I'm sorry, the identities of the Earth-Drilling Dragons are very special, and they are related to the lifeblood of the world. They are very careful. Only our leader knows how to contact them."

The Earth-Drilling Dragon is different from other knights who come and go high and fly on land. Their range of activities is very restricted, underground near radioactive veins. Unless a functional prosthetic body is prepared, it will be difficult for the "Earth-Drilling Dragon" prosthetic body specialized in underground activities to escape.

And radioactive minerals are of extraordinary significance to Jianghu. For the "weak" knights, building a fission reactor with a little radioactive element means a reliable logistics system, or the hope of igniting a fusion reactor - they can become more elusive and bring greater influence to the government. blow.

It is precisely because of this that the Earth-Drilling Dragon rarely appears. Knights who know the existence of earth-burrowing dragons will not easily disclose the contact information of those earth-burrowing dragons.

"Then Mr. Gui...ah, I'm sorry."

Only then did Xiang Shan remember that half a year ago, the head of the Red Stone Sect had been tricked into being surrounded by Deborah, and then killed by Mr. Zhao himself.

"It seems that it is really difficult to develop an isotope battery in this huge Jayhawk City." Xiang Shan muttered: "We still have to look around the mineral veins to see if we can find the Earth-Drilling Dragon."

"Oh, in that case, I remember that there are several relatively large mineral vein sites in the north..."

"South." Xiang Shan said: "I think the south may be faster. It seems that we need to be prepared."
