Cyber Heroes

Xiangshan opened his eyes. According to the schedule, today is the day when the welfare officer will announce the restoration of asylum.

It was also the time when he was scheduled to leave this town.

Now that that inexplicable storm has passed, it doesn't make much sense for him to stay here anymore. In addition, although he can't remember who he is, he is at least certain that he must have been a famous rebel in the past. He felt uncomfortable just being in a place under official surveillance.

Need to leave and go into the wilderness.

At this time, Xiangshan's prosthetic body has changed again compared to half a month ago. The outer armor that was damaged in the battle with Leif has been rebuilt. This time, the curve of his outer armor is slimmer, but the chest and back are thicker than before, obviously because of the new machinery stuffed inside. The entire outer armor was painted matte black. The lower body is still a prosthetic leg made of artificial muscles, and it can walk with reverse joints. The hands were also taken from the swordsman Longconi, but they had been painted in the same color as the outer armor.

This is not for aesthetics or "style consistency". Xiangshan hasn't paid attention to that condition yet. This is mainly to prevent space-based weapons and satellites in the sky.

These days, he looked at the stars more than once. With the support of the driver chips of the three warriors, his prosthetic eyes can finally be turned on at a higher power. With the help of prosthetic eyes, he also found many celestial bodies in the sky that moved at unusual speeds--that is, "artificial satellites."

From a quantitative perspective, the density of artificial satellites in this era has reached its limit. Xiangshan estimated that the track was already densely packed with man-made objects.

Those are the "eyes" suspended in the sky

He didn't know how precise the optical scanning in this era could be, but the matte black was always harder to find than the shiny silver metallic color.

The vigilante must know how to deal with these things.

Of course, internal power can invade the enemy's terminal equipment along the electromagnetic signal, disrupt the equipment and even seize control. But with the power of this humanoid prosthetic body, no matter what frequency band Xiangshan uses electromagnetic waves, he cannot directly blast his internal energy into space.

He could not use his internal strength to eliminate the detection of such orbiting satellites that were thousands of miles away.

Unless you can control a transmitting device with sufficient power.

In addition to "reconnaissance", there are also "attacks that may arrive at any time."

According to Xiangshan's memory, the only limitation of "space-based weapons" is that "it may damage important property." If a knight is discovered in the wilderness, what awaits him is the concentrated fire of space-based weapons and satellites.

Xiang Shan looked around. The elderly and disabled people around the scrap parts recycling bins all stayed in the corner as if they were frozen. The mayor was afraid that these guys would collide with the welfare officer, so he shut down these people's prosthetics in advance and put them in a state of suspended animation. Xiangshan didn't feel very comfortable with this approach. In the past, the function of "turning off the prosthetic body" could not be authorized by others. Only the "biological brain directly connected to the prosthetic body" can command the motor part of the prosthetic body to shut down through neural signals. But in this day and age, this kind of thing seems to have become commonplace.

Xiangshan glanced at another machine in the corner. The infrared signal emitted by the prosthetic eye penetrated that machine. Then, it stood up tremblingly.

It is a four-legged machine that is nearly two meters tall. Xiangshan disassembled the parts of Leif's prosthetic leg, and then modified the power structure into the skeleton he commissioned the village chief to make. This machine has four legs dragging a rectangular tabletop, and there are two prosthetic eyes in front of it.

Longconi's driver chip was installed in a small metal box under the prosthetic eye.

Xiangshan's body code name for this thing is "Donkey". "Donkey" is a beast of burden robot.

Although on flat roads, the efficiency of tires is much greater than the backward structure of legs, it is difficult for tires to cross complex terrain. Under this premise, multi-legged robots still make sense.

This thing will be responsible for carrying what's left of the legacy of Leif, Paulus, Ronconi and the explosive Qui. In addition, it itself is also a "spare prosthetic body".

No words needed. Xiangshan can give the "follow" command by staring into the "donkey's" prosthetic eyes.

He walked out the door. The streets were quiet, no one was around. There was only some flying dust on the other side of the town. Apparently, residents were gathering in the square again, waiting for the welfare officer to arrive.

Xiang Shan glanced over there twice.

Well, the little guy didn't come over in the end.

Xiang Shan shook his head. It is most unreasonable for children to get into trouble.

He took a few steps and soon arrived at the other end of the town. This is a raw material storage yard. Further out, there is a garbage dump where residents rely on for survival. Xiangshan planned to walk in this direction, passing through the ruins of the battlefield, and heading towards the wilderness where almost no townspeople had been.

Xiangshan stood on the edge of the garbage dump, turned around, and looked at the recycling town.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's obviously such a shabby place, but I'm still a little bit reluctant to leave it." Xiang Shan shook his head: "I have to find a way to get back more of my memory, otherwise, what a shabby place. Everyone thinks it’s a good thing…”

At this time, a plume of smoke was approaching quickly. Maybe someone is looking for me. Take back your steps towards the mountain.

Not long after, Yulia appeared in Xiangshan's field of vision. There was a strip of cloth tied to her rearview mirror. The mayor was lying on the side of her car.

Xiangshan was a little strange: "Ms. Yulia? Mr. Mayor? Why are you two here?"

He was indeed quite surprised. At this time, the residents of the town should be welcoming the welfare officer.

The mayor shrank his shoulders and said with embarrassment: "We are just here to see you off, the martyr. You, the martyr, have been in our town for so long and have helped our town a lot..."

Yulia was straightforward: "I asked the mayor to come with me. You told Yuki before that there is one thing that must be returned to you before you leave. I don't have a prosthetic hand that can easily retrieve the object, so I have to bring it with me The mayor came together."

The mayor took off the thing tied to Yulia's rearview mirror. It is a piece of artificial fiber fabric with a driver chip inside.

That's Yuki's spare chip. Xiangshan made some modifications and banned some ports for external interference.

This is what Xiangshan did to keep his secret. In his original thinking, if he wanted to teach his apprentice something real, he had to find a way to get him away from potential surveillance. But this is equivalent to saying "I am a rebel" to those in power. So Xiangshan told Yuki very early that if he separated from him, Yuki would have to discard the chip himself.

It seemed like Yuki at least remembered this.

"Children are making trouble..." Xiangshan glanced at Yulia and the mayor.

It seems that Yulia does not completely trust the mayor. This thing should have been wrapped around Yulia's rearview mirror by Yuki himself. She did not turn this thing over to the mayor, perhaps because she was afraid that the mayor would hide the chip secretly, and this behavior might implicate her and Yuki. But she was also really afraid that the chip would fall off halfway and she would not be able to pick it up, and in the end she would offend the "thug" Xiang Shan.

"Why bother? I just said that it's best not to have this thing inspected. If there is a risk of being inspected, just destroy it yourself."

As Xiangshan spoke, he connected the chip to the interface on his wrist and formatted it.

He threw the chip to the mayor: "That's good."

"Haha..." The mayor smiled cautiously: "Won't the righteous man stay a few more days?"

"No need. The town has been kind to me. I helped you repel a wave of thugs, and then guarded you for so many days. It can be regarded as repaying the kindness." Xiang Shan shook his head: "Next, I still have some matters of my own. Gotta deal with it.”

The mayor was shocked: "That's not what we meant..."

Xiangshan ignored the old man and turned to Yulia: "Madam, please tell that boy Yuki that I am very disappointed with his performance in the last few days. Understand, very disappointed! Knowledge is the most important thing in this world. The most precious thing. I always feel that there is not enough time to teach everything. This kind of thing that someone comes to teach but cannot learn, cannot be done without criticism. "

Yulia was silent for a while, so that Xiangshan began to wonder if this guy didn't want to talk to him at all. After a while, a voice came from Yulia's loudspeaker: "It's my idea not to allow Yuki to come over. Please don't embarrass my son."

Xiang Shan laughed: "I don't think I have the chance to embarrass your son anymore. I really have to leave."

Yulia breathed a sigh of relief. She is indeed quite afraid of this kind of thing.

If Xiangshan had any ill intentions towards her and Youki, mother and son would have no way of resisting.

"It seems that you really like that kid Yuki..." Yulia said.

"After all, he dug me out of the garbage dump. I only have one apprentice now." Xiang Shan waved his hand.

Yulia thought for a moment and asked: "So, is the knowledge you gave Yuki really important?"

Xiang Shan nodded: "I think if he didn't go astray, he should be able to live more like a human many years later - of course, it doesn't matter if he forgets."

A gust of wind blew. Sand and dust reduced visibility. Xiang Shan glanced back and saw that the familiar ground-effect aircraft was already on the horizon. He nodded: "It's time to go."

Sure enough, the hero should be carrying something with a spear, walking into the wind and sand, and slowly disappearing.

Yulia started the engine [this was probably some kind of etiquette that Xiangshan couldn't understand] and said to Xiangshan: "Thank you for educating my children. Shan, I hope you can go well..."

"No, that's impossible."

At this time, another voice intervened in the conversation.
