Cyber Heroes

The moment the electric current passed through the artificial muscle fibers, a string of signals followed the metal wires and rushed into Xiangshan's spine. They were decoded by Xiangshan's cerebellum and then hit the brain.

Xiangshan almost thought that he had regenerated his legs.

This artificial muscle fiber can actually simulate touch...

No, that's not right. This is not a new technology. Xiangshan understood that he had felt this way before.

He thought as he knocked open the door and rolled over the falling iron door.

This design has been around for a long time. In 1960, sensitive resistors were put into practical use.

Sensitive resistors are special resistive substances that respond to specific physical conditions. Most of these resistors are particularly sensitive to certain physical conditions. Once the physical conditions change, the resistance value will change - for example, the resistance value of a photoresistor will change under different intensity of light. Thermistors, on the other hand, show different resistance values ​​at different temperatures.

Special resistors such as magnetoresistors are also widely used.

The thing most closely related to warriors is the "varistor".

As the name suggests, it is a resistive material that exhibits different resistance values ​​under different pressures.

This technology had already been formed in the era Xiangshan was familiar with. When people design prosthetics for warriors, they will mix varistors into some parts.

Even if it is a force of one cow or a pressure of one thousand pascals, the parts mixed with the varistor can faithfully reflect it.

The cost of doing this is that the strength and service life of the parts will be reduced to a certain extent. After all, the strength of varistor is not the same as that of professional alloys.

But the advantage of this kind of parts is that it allows warriors to better control the prosthetic body, and even complete "skills" that are absolutely impossible for martial artists with the physical body.

Twenty-first century ninjas would say that they would draw upon "the power of the earth." There are corresponding descriptions in the more ancient boxing scriptures. "Power originates from the feet, takes shape from the legs, dominates the waist, urges the spine, and originates from the hands." Some boxers even have the ideal that as long as the ankles, knees, bones and joints, waist, spine, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, and fists exert force in sequence, people can punch at near-sonic speeds.

But for the humans of the old generation, this was just imagination. For the slow nerves of human beings, it is almost impossible for them to grasp the perfect timing. The force of one ox, or the pressure of one thousand pascals, will hardly produce any obvious feeling for them. They can't really put the power of theory into practice.

There is an upper limit to the speed at which nerve signals can be transmitted.

However, cyber martial artists can even feel a surge of energy, which is converted from internal energy to kinetic energy, from kinetic energy to internal energy, and transferred from one part to another... For them, this is like a magical thing in a novel. The "energy" is average.

Xiangshan can control this power.

He crashed out of the gate. The iron door barely formed any resistance before falling off the door frame. Xiang Shan's feet kicked hard on the iron door that had not fallen to the ground. The iron door hit the ground at an incredible speed, deformed quickly and then flattened on the ground.

Xiangshan accelerated in the air for the second time.

——Good legs and feet...

Xiangshan only had time to have such thoughts flash through his mind.

These were not the strongest legs and feet he had ever used - Xiangshan was sure of that. In the past, when he had a complete power system, he had used stronger leg prostheses. However, the power of that kind of prosthetic body... although he could not remember the specific value, it was definitely not what the current battery could supply.

These are the best legs and feet Xiangshan has ever used under current power.

Perhaps it's because in this era, technology is still better than the era he was familiar with...

The moment he passed by the steel rod, Xiangshan hooked his hands on the steel rod, then kicked his legs towards the giant man's waist and abdomen, using the force to change direction.

If the opponent is a natural person, the battle will be over at this moment. But cyber warriors don’t have that many fragile internal organs. The shock-absorbing layer of the armor can also absorb impact to a certain extent and avoid impact on important structures.

Compared with the legs, these arms are really useless.

Muangshan used scattered parts from the dog-shaped prosthetic body to re-strengthen the hands, but their foundation was really poor. Just the dissolving impact brought by the speed almost caused these arms to disintegrate.

A ray of silver light swirled around the steel rod. Xiangshan fixed Yuki's unprosthetic head and neck with one hand, and stepped on the top of the steel rod with his legs again.

The impact force of the steel rod and the reaction force of the kick from the legs are superimposed. Leif's stick posture suddenly became unbalanced. Xiang Shan accelerated and rushed out of the range covered by the steel rod.

"Yuki, how are you?" Xiangshan hurriedly put down his disciple. Yuki was already very angry at this time. His legs had been damaged by the impact of landing, and his internal organs were even impacted. There must be bleeding in the abdominal cavity.

But Xiangshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Metal-based proteins can not only greatly delay cell apoptosis, but are also highly resistant to mechanical damage and can survive longer in a hypoxic environment. This also means that humans in this era are more resistant to "brain damage" and "asphyxia".

And with the medical skills of this era, it is not difficult to replace damaged organs with artificial prostheses, which can even be more powerful than before.

As long as the person lives, that's all.

Only then did Xiang Shan look at Leif.

Will's memory flashed back again.

"You are...'Silver Drive Shaft' Leif..."

"Silver Drive Shaft" Leif Sheret, the fourth boss and commando captain of the medium-sized thug organization "Z Organization", is good at stick skills. The steel rod he dances is made from the drive shaft of the "Boss"-class assault ship. The outer armor of the commonly used prosthetic body is silver, so he has the nickname "Silver Drive Shaft". The stick style he is good at is called "SSC Three Weapons in One Stick". SSC means Sword, Spear, and Cudgel. It is a skill with changeable styles, flexible tactics, and good at gaming. authentic martial arts.

He was originally a very talented martial artist in other areas, but because of the fighting events in the Paralympic Qualifying Tournament [except for gunfire, most external martial arts can be included in this category], he was defeated by a boxer from a rival dojo. , was deeply ashamed, so he used stick skills to kill his opponent after the game. His master wanted to drive him out of the gate to show that the sect would not accept unprotected people, but his dojo was massacred by the enraged Leif Sheret. Before the bounty hunters came together, Leif Sherret fled into the wilderness and later joined a gang of thugs.

"Are you also a warrior?" Xiang Shan was filled with anger: "As a warrior, you rely on the strong to bully the weak. Don't you feel shameful?"

This sentence also made Leif fall into confusion: "When did warriors stop relying on the strong to bully the weak?"

"Huh?" Xiang Shan was confused again.

——Why do the warriors of this era... think that it is natural for the powerful to bully the weak?

——The purpose of martial arts creation is to use the weakness of individuals to resist the strength of tyranny...

"Ah, I remembered it." Leif suddenly patted his head: "Oh, it seems that a powerful person did say something similar. Who is it? Among the pioneers... Martial Ancestor? He did say However, the meaning of martial arts technology is to pit the weak against the strong - are you really a knight? But I heard that even in the martial arts world, few people believe in this. You are such a brain , how many years has it been buried?”

Xiangshan didn't know why, but he felt like there was a piece missing somewhere on his body. A feeling similar to "phantom limb pain."

"No one believes it anymore?"

"Of course, although Wu Zu said that martial arts is a technology designed to fight against violent forces, it allows weak and weak prosthetics with limited support to complete important tasks and achieve huge tactical or strategic goals. But... now in the world of martial arts When two people fight, the stronger one will always win, right?" Leif drew an inequality sign on the ground with a steel rod: "Even those knights who keep saying that they fight for the weak are themselves 'strong' 'Right? The same is true for the Jianghu Road, the same is true for the Green Forest Road, and it is even more so for the Sanctuary."

"Even if there are masters who use weak prosthetics to defeat powerful prosthetics, it can only mean that they have crushed their opponents on factors other than 'prosthetics' - such as martial arts algorithms, such as driving Running-in and optimization, such as intelligence, such as biological brain reflexes. After all, a prosthetic body is not everything a person has. This is still a strong attack on the weak."

In the world, there has never been a true "weak defeat the strong"

Xiang Shan stared at the inequality sign on the ground: "Is there only inequality sign between people? Does everyone in the world think so?"

"If you think so, then there are still people in the world who think so!" Leif still said wisely: "Let's not talk about it, Your Excellency. We heard that you defeated a man with a prosthetic body made of garbage. A boxer with bionic boxing techniques. We think you have great potential, so we’re here to invite you to join us!”

When Xiang Shan heard this, he even wanted to laugh: "Join the gang?"

"Just join our Z organization, and join the Green Forest Road by the way." Leif put the steel rod back on his shoulder again: "Although you used to be a member of the Jianghu Road, I can also see that you are more successful in the Jianghu Road. Failure. In any case, you are in this situation, and no knight comes to save you... Tsk, it shows that even the knights do not agree with your idea! Why don't you just come to our Green Forest Road to develop? . Our Green Forest Road is the most free, with far fewer rules than the Jianghu Road, and the things we do are similar..."

Xiang Shan was confused again.

He was very sure that he knew nothing about the terms "Jianghu Dao" and "Green Forest Dao". The remaining knowledge in his biological brain indicated that these two words should be just nouns in "novel".

And no one wants to make them a reality.

This is not a fantasy that has been turned into reality along with cyber martial arts... There is no "green forest" in the era he is familiar with! They should all be just fantasies!

In a peaceful era where knights assassinate tyrants and then heroes end the troubled times, martial arts should naturally decline and remain silent on the Internet, quietly dormant, waiting for the next tyrant to come to power and show his fangs.

Or remind those in power to never impose power on the people.

Or it may die naturally in a dark place that no one knows about, leaving a legend for future generations.

——That’s how it should be.

Xiangshan himself knew that this was only the most ideal situation. However, the underlying design of martial arts technology should have additional thresholds - it should be designed to be "not suitable for relying on the strong to bully the weak".

——This underlying design is also distorted?

Suddenly, Xiang Shan smiled.

"Hehe...hehehe. Jianghu way? Green forest way? Martial arts rules? Hahaha... Which idiot from which generation is actually childish enough to imitate this kind of thing?" Xiangshan lowered his back and pressed his hands on the ground: " I don’t care about the world at all. I just ask you, in this era, when people are invited to join gangs, do they all come with the intention of killing people? "
