Cyber Heroes

After cyber transformation, human beings are far away from the threat of "disability". For humans, "disability" is scary because it causes people to irreversibly lose certain functions they originally had.

But for prosthetic people, "disability" is not as scary as "skin bleeding", at best it is as bad as "bruising from being smashed".

Because the prosthesis can be easily replaced.

In fact, as long as there is no concussion, the Cybermen don't even need to "recuperate".

But on the contrary, they cannot "heal" by relying only on "food".

They need to carry a large number of parts that cannot be produced in nature and can be replaced at any time.

Parts often require professional production equipment to manufacture.

This means that a prosthetic person often requires a mature technical system and a considerable amount of resources.

Of course, if natural people want to survive for a long time, they also need a lot of resources. However, natural people can collect food in the biosphere to maintain their own lives. He can collect the necessary resources in most places.

But prosthetics have a bit more difficulty in this regard. You can’t expect nature to grow a gear of a specific specification for you [Although the Helicopteron shark in the Mesozoic era and the Issus planthopper in the Cenozoic era have evolved the structure of gears, this obviously cannot be used directly as a prosthetic body], nor You can’t expect nature to create a capacitor for you [Although it can be done in theory, and there are even living cell batteries such as electric eels, but in fact no such organisms have been found - and if there are, it is difficult to use them directly].

They are equivalent to using the labor of producing resources in factories and the labor of R\u0026D institutions to develop prosthetics to offset the time cost of "recuperating".

If natural people are restricted to the land by agriculture, then artificial people will be restricted to factories by industry.

In this regard, the government with a complete industrial chain naturally has an advantage. Those experts in the government can use high-performance and high-precision but easy-to-wear prosthetics without any care. Just like the prosthetic leg used by Xiangshan, the artificial muscle fibers break every time he fights. Once the number of fractures exceeds 5%, its performance will be significantly reduced. It's a design that requires constant replacement of fibers.

In order to save fiber, Xiangshan now took off the legs and replaced them with a spare pair.

The prosthetic bodies used by the Kuhaha people in Recycling Town can each last for more than ten years. Although the prosthetic bodies of Leif and Griliad were not that miserable, they were still thick, thick, and easy to maintain.

If Xiangshan has knight-errant companions, then he can obtain supplies through these friends. But he lost all his memory and couldn't find the organization at all. The only people he could trust were entry-level apprentices like Yuki.

You can't expect this guy to provide you with all the resources a warrior needs.

Therefore, "carrying via vehicle" is the only option.

The "Donkey" is a fully automatic vehicle. When necessary, Xiangshan can leave the "Donkey" to fight the enemy, and after the battle, return to the "Donkey" to recuperate.

Even if the donkey is killed, it will only be a loss of supplies. It is better than being tied up with supplies and ending up dead.

"This body looks okay." Xiangshan checked Yuki's work: "The tires underneath are okay...well, it also leaves room for the legs. Not bad."

Although "tires" are very labor-saving, that is only on "flat ground". After leaving the road, the off-road ability of the wheels is reduced by the lifting of the "legs". Therefore, although Xiangshan installed wheels on this truck body, when necessary, he will still let the truck body grow legs to cross complex terrain.

As for those legs, they naturally came from Z organization minions.

It is usually folded on the inside of the tire. When the "donkey"'s prosthetic eyes detect complex terrain, it will automatically extend and raise the ground.

Can also be used as a spare limb.

Very convenient.

"However, it's a bit narrow." Xiang Shan looked at the truck body and said, "After using photovoltaic panels to make a foldable roof, the internal space is very limited. I also plan to bring a 3D printer."

Although the Cybermen are bound to factories by industry, "technology" can also provide them with a way out.

In this sense, the 3D printer can be called an "artifact".

Just as the blockchain supports the inheritance of internal skills and martial arts, 3D printers support the knights’ demand for prosthetics. 3D printing technology does not require a production line or casting module specifically for a certain product, so there is no need to use "assembly lines" and "mass production" to gain cost advantages. Just have a digital model.

With a 3D printer, if you have a model of each component of the printer, it can "self-replicate."

It can be said that if the flow of information is smooth enough, then a 3D printer can be enough to act as a spark that starts a prairie fire, allowing the weak to escape the resource constraints of the strong.

"Two small 3D printers, at least one has to be dismantled and removed." Xiang Shan thought: "This space..."

Yuki sighed: "Master, if we can't work outside, we can only make it so wide. If it is any wider, we may not be able to get out of the tunnel."

Xiangshan does not allow Youki to work outside. The strong light caused by electric welding can be easily locked by satellites.

Although they were very conspicuous by killing Daniel and Little Edward's group during the day.

But no matter what, it's better than "more conspicuous".

Naturally, the Z-organized corridor limits the size of the vehicle body.

If conditions permit, Xiangshan even wants to build a giant truck three to four meters high and five to six meters wide to fit in the entire maintenance workshop.

But that obviously can't be done.

"Then the method of spraying protective color has also been passed on to your chip. Remember to find the correct spray paint." Xiang Shan continued.

Yuki nodded.

After checking the disciple's homework, Xiangshan walked towards the little poisonous insect's practice room again.

The pair of prosthetic hands originally used by Xiangshan [originally belonging to the swordsman Longconi] were being placed in front of the preparation instrument for decomposition.

The really valuable thing about this pair of prosthetic hands is the high-frequency oscillation generator between the palm and fingers. This generator can generate mechanical waves of a specific frequency, causing metal fatigue and effectively destroying metal crystals. It can also rely on infrasound waves to trigger resonance in the enemy's brain nerves. In some cases, ultrasonic waves can also be used to crush biological cells.

All in all, it’s a very versatile item.

Xiangshan planned to dismantle this system and then rearrange it on his new prosthetic hand.

After all, except for this set of generators, the other performance of this prosthetic hand is very poor. It is too biased towards "holding a knife" and its structural resistance is not strong.

As for the prosthetic leg that Xiangshan was originally using, he is also intensifying his rest. But to be honest, the blue translucent artificial muscle fibers seem to be a rare resource. Xiang Shan collected some in the village, but it was only enough to last him a few more battles.

But he couldn't find a better prosthetic leg, so he had to use it first.

The water bath is still heating. In another ten hours or so, the conversion will be completed.

"Very good, very good." Xiang Shan nodded with satisfaction, and then confirmed the timetable again.

"On the first day, the progress is good. The upgrade task of 'Donkey' - OK, the apprentice is somewhat useful; the skull - OK, now I am a full-fledged hero in heaven; the disassembly of Longconi's prosthetic hand - OK. Sure enough, this kind of non-customized prosthetic body can be handled by automated equipment. The new prosthetic body framework - OK, because the performance of the 3D printer is more powerful than expected, the task is easily completed. Now the progress can be slightly advanced; The outer armor of the new prosthetic body - the alloy part of the outer armor has been built, and tomorrow it can be used for shock absorption and carbon fiber lining to provide electromagnetic resistance. At this rate, novices can also come online tomorrow."

Xiang Shan nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, the task for the next three hours is to 'rest'."

Xiangshan thought like this, gradually closing the direct connection between his brain and the perception system, and setting up a program to "wake up when certain parameters exceed the threshold."

Since Xiangshan's body is a prosthetic body, he does not need to lie down to rest. The only organ he really needs to rest is his brain. Even if you sleep standing up, there will be no muscle strain.

Before falling asleep, Xiangshan focused on something else.

That was the hard drive that the little poisonous insect grabbed at the last moment. The little poisonous insect's memory told him that this was knowledge from the "Demon Cult".

"Devil Cult" is another unfamiliar concept.

It is undeniable that when the concept of "chivalry" was created, it was indeed greatly influenced by "martial arts novels", but this does not mean that you have to reproduce every element in martial arts novels. Right?

This kind of behavior is really a bit too sick.

The first warriors raised the banner of "chivalry" in order to fight against the oppression of totalitarians. He probably just borrowed an existing cultural concept to explain his own proposition - or in other words, went public on a backdoor basis.

This does not mean that he wants to bring all the concepts of martial arts novels into reality.

Xiangshan thinks so.

He was indeed curious about the true face of the Demon Cult.

In addition, the skills displayed by the Demon Cult also made him curious.

If he thought correctly... then based on the clues obtained from the memory of Little Poisonous Insect and Griliad, it can be speculated that the Demon Cult may be exploring the impact of "changing the brain's nerve structure on the human spirit".

The mathematical structure of the human brain "may" be higher than that of the Turing machine. As for why there are such extraordinary properties in mathematical structure, and what the physical structure of such extraordinary properties looks like, it is an unsolved mystery.

However, since the brain has such characteristics, it is understandable that some people want to start from a biological perspective and seek better transformation.

"No, now is not the time to look at that." Xiangshan still suppressed his curiosity.

He is still being tracked by the authorities. Maybe the next moment, there will be chasing generals. Therefore, he must prioritize completing matters such as the "new prosthetic body".

New prosthetics can only be cast here, and there will be plenty of time to study the data later.

"Just bear with it for now."

Xiangshan thought so and closed his vision.
