Cyber Heroes

"What's going on?" Lu Xuanyu felt very strange. He seems to have an invisible arm...or rather, he has a "ghost arm", and then this "ghost arm" also holds an "invisible ghost sphere".

If this was a fantasy novel, then Lu Xuanyu would probably feel that he had awakened some super power, such as an "invisible hand" or something like that.

But the place he was in now happened to be the place with the least fantasy atmosphere on the entire earth.

Lu Xuanyu looked at his hands at a loss. In his sense of space, that "invisible hand" should be stacked with his normal hand, but it can make different movements.

Amiya's voice was still so serious: "This is a normal phenomenon, Mr. Lu, please try to describe your feelings."

"I feel like I have an extra hand...extra...I don't know how to describe it. It's like the soul of my arm has separated from my body." Lu Xuanyu said doubtfully.

"The soul of the arm left the body alone? Did you clearly feel the position of that arm?"

"Arms? No, only the palms... No, no, this..." Lu Xuanyu hesitated for a moment, "It seems there is... I'm not sure."

"There's no consistent movement between your actual palm and that 'extra hand', is there?"

"Yes."

"Can you briefly describe how you're feeling right now?"

Lu Xuanyu hesitated for a moment: "It's very awkward..."

"You can try to let go."

Lu Xuanyu followed the instructions and slowly released his clenched fist. At the beginning, Lu Xuanyu felt that the "other hand" was still holding on to the invisible object. But after the range of the hand opening exceeds a certain limit, the "two hands" merge into one again.

Then the block held by the "invisible hand" fell.

Immediately afterwards, a disrupted third-order Rubik's Cube rolled out of the darkness and fell next to his chair.

One of Lu Xuanyu's friends, Li, was immediately attracted by the Rubik's Cube.

Then, the lights gradually turned on.

Chen Feng stood nearby, making a "push up" gesture with his hands by his ears.

Lu Xuanyu took off his headphones, and Chen Feng applauded.

Behind him, the curtain slowly opened, revealing a strange machine.

Those are two hands. The two arms were connected to a metal bracket, and the width of the bracket was basically the same as Lu Xuanyu's shoulder width.

The two hands were raised helplessly.

The posture is basically the same as that of Lu Xuanyu, like a mirror image...

No, that's not right either. Although those two hands were face to face with Lu Xuanyu, the left and right were not mirror images.

Lu Xuanyu stretched out his left hand curiously.

The left hand in the pair of mechanical hands also stretched out.

Lu Xuanyu clenched his fists, unclenched them, and clenched his fists.

So does the robot hand.

Lu Xuanyu stretched out one hand forward and guarded the door with the other.

Those hands also made movements that were exactly the same as his, a very standard martial arts stance.

"How does it feel to use the prosthetic body?" Chen Feng asked.

"It's... very magical?" Lu Xuanyu looked at his arm and kept turning his wrist, "This..."

Chen Feng picked up the Rubik's Cube and placed it on the palm of one of the prosthetic hands.

Lu Xuanyu subconsciously held it.

"How's it going? Do you still feel like that 'invisible hand' is growing on your shoulder?"

"It's really amazing..." Lu Xuanyu said: "I suddenly felt that the touch came from somewhere else. The hand washing the scissors was no longer on my shoulder. But I felt a little... uncomfortable . Feeling a little nauseous.”

"It's common." Chen Feng nodded: "Your brain has received abnormal sensory signals, and there is a huge contradiction between your vision and your touch. In nature, this often means 'poisoning'. Your The body is trying to induce vomiting to expel something that may contain hallucinogenic toxins."

Lu Xuanyu asked confused: "Is this considered a 'common thing'?"

"Every time our experiments lead to this kind of 'conflict between prosthetic senses and natural senses', we will have this kind of reaction." Chen Feng looked very regretful, "In fact, I personally think that people can adapt to all this. As long as they overcome By overcoming the initial discomfort, one can gain more powerful senses. But most people have absolutely no desire to overcome the problem..."

Lu Xuanyu continued to move his arms: "I feel really uncomfortable, as if I'm seasick..."

"But both motion sickness and seasickness can be overcome." Chen Feng continued: "As long as you take frequent car rides, anyone can overcome the troubles caused by motion sickness... Ah, you need to disconnect from these hands now. connection?"

Lu Xuanyu nodded: "Thank you."

Then the hands suddenly froze.

Lu Xuanyu felt that those hands suddenly had no connection with him.

Lu Xuanyu looked at Chen Feng: "What I need more is actually my feet..."

"This is part of the experiment." Chen Feng said: "Remember when we asked you to cover your eyes and imagine the movement of your hands or feet?"

Lu Xuanyu nodded.

"In fact, at that stage, you had already connected to the prosthetic hand several times, but at that time we turned off the tactile feedback. This is to verify whether the motion signals we read can be formed with the built-in command set of the prosthetic hand. Correct mapping, on the other hand, also pave the way for the next step of research.”

Lu Xuanyu was stunned.

Chen Feng made a gesture: "Do you still remember what we told you when we explained the agreement? For research needs and prosthetic body debugging needs, we may let you connect the prosthetic body without informing you, that's it. situation."

Lu Xuanyu complained: "Then I hope it's the feet."

"This kind of opportunity to connect you to the prosthetic body without you knowing is only once. Only for a short period of time, you connected those hands without realizing the existence of the prosthetic body." Connected. There is only this one chance. After that moment, it will no longer be possible to record this kind of data. You will inevitably realize in an instant, 'Oh, it's a prosthetic body again'." Chen Feng explained: "And Human hands are more complex than feet, their feelings are more acute, and their responses in the brain are more pronounced."

Then, Chen Feng took two steps back and gave up the equipment behind him: "And we have also prepared feet for you."

It was a three-dimensional stand with some fixing straps on it that could hang Lu Xuanyu in the center of the stand.

Below is a pair of feet.

It's exactly the same as those used by soldiers and firefighters.

With Chen Feng's help, Lu Xuanyu was immobilized. Then, when the remote connection is established...

Lu Xuanyu didn't remember anything more. But he was sure that he cried.
