From scrap mecha to sci-fi heaven

After the battle, the search for loot is naturally indispensable.

However, because he was worried that there were still enemies hiding in the dark, Lin Yu could not leave the mecha, so he could only stand guard and leave the enjoyable task of searching for loot to Bai Wei.

"Brother Lin, there is a cryogenic storage box here. Judging from the label, it should be the astral dome disease inhibitor you want."

The vehicles driven by these armed traffickers were found not far away. After some searching, Bai Wei quickly brought good news to Lin Yu.

The star dome disease inhibitor should be the one he ordered from Rupert.

This is indeed an extremely important thing for Lin Yu.

After all, without this thing, according to Rupert, he would not have more than one month left.

Moreover, after the Star Dome Disease attacks, the organs will fail rapidly, and I am afraid that there will not be much peace of mind in the remaining month.

Now that the inhibitor is in hand, although I don't know how effective it will be, I can still buy some time.

If you can still move, you can still seek treatment.

"Put it away first and throw everything into that truck."

Lin Yu nodded and pointed at a large, fully enclosed truck left by armed traffickers.

Technology in this world is very advanced, and there are naturally flying cars and the like. However, firstly, air superiority is extremely important, and secondly, considering energy consumption and cost performance, conventional vehicles are still the most primitive four-wheel ground vehicles.

After all, the energy consumption of aeroengines is completely different from that of normal electric engines and internal combustion engines, and before flying, you must first consider offsetting the vehicle's dead weight.

In addition, the issue of air supremacy is a top priority. Whether it is the federation, a consortium, or even a private individual, they will not like someone flying over their heads. What if someone drops a bomb?

Therefore, there are flying cars and shuttles, but they basically only exist as luxury goods. Private driving also requires special application for routes. Normal cars are really commonly used, and at most they have better performance and are more intelligent.

This large, fully enclosed truck was probably used by this group of armed traffickers to transport themselves or 'goods', but the space inside was large enough for Lin Yu to transport the Dawn Mecha.

"Brother Lin, many of these people have received prosthetic modifications. If they can be transplanted by a prosthetic doctor, they should still be usable. Do they need to be collected?"

Bai Wei may have really seen the hope of saving her sister in Lin Yu at this moment, or maybe it was the reverence that couldn't help but rise in her heart. She had once again returned to her previous obedience to Lin Yu, saying "Brother Lin" It also became as natural as before without realizing it.

"Choose a few more valuable ones. Don't waste too much time. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, causing Li Xiao's red eyes to sway gently in the night.

"Brother Lin, don't you have any plans to transform yourself into a prosthetic body? I think the prosthetic body on the Iron Mask Man just now is pretty good."

Bai Wei was a little curious.

"Forget it about limb-organ type prostheses. If they are some augmentation-assisted prosthetic modules, you can consider them."

Lin Yu shook his head and said: "Actually, I have never quite understood what the purpose of those who actively replaced their mechanical limbs is just those who were already mutilated. If it is to enhance combat effectiveness, exoskeleton armor can be used."

"The original intention of research and development of prosthetics is actually medical equipment, but the power of robotic arms can easily surpass that of ordinary people. Naturally, people who are pursuing improvement in strength will take the initiative to replace prostheses. In order to make profits, companies and groups should cater to users and convert prosthetics into products. The research and development direction of the body shifted to the military.”

Bai Wei, who came from a major, was obviously much clearer than Lin Yu on this point, so she took the initiative to explain:

"Furthermore, mechas and exoskeleton armors are expensive military weapons that ordinary people do not have the funds and means to obtain. However, prosthetics are still legal medical devices according to the legal definition and can be replaced by a prosthetic doctor.

Secondly, the technical difficulty and cost of prosthetics are also lower than that of exoskeleton armor. As medical devices that can replace limbs or even organs, they can be legally carried freely in the city..."

Bai Wei's explanation made Lin Yu understand instantly.

medical instruments!

As a prosthetic limb or even a life-support organ, even the Federation cannot let them take it off.

Therefore, the prosthetic body has natural legality, is more concealable, and does not need to consider the issue of portability.

Another point that cannot be ignored is survivability.

When limbs and organs are replaced with mechanized prostheses, first of all, the survivability and impact resistance are beyond the reach of normal people, among other things.

Furthermore, prosthetics do not conflict with exoskeleton armors and mechas. After the transformation of prosthetics, the body has stronger endurance, which can reduce the demand for the life support system of the armor, better exert the performance of the armor, or provide better support for deployment. Armor buys time.

"Brother Lin, don't underestimate prosthetics. Although ordinary prosthetics are not very powerful, some advanced prosthetics are actually completely comparable to exoskeleton armors and even mechas, but the research and development routes are different."

Bai Wei said again at this time.

"Oh? Comparable to a mecha?"

Lin Yu was now completely interested.

He is a loyal fan of powerful flying bricks. With the same technology, the size is naturally stronger.

Prosthetic technology that mainly replaces and augments the human body is basically only a little bit larger. It is comparable to exoskeleton armor, but compared to mecha?

Logically speaking, mechanical prosthetics and mechanical exoskeleton armor are completely different technologies that lead to the same goal. I am a dignified level 4 mecha engineer, but I don’t know that?

"I don't know the details. I just heard that advanced prosthetics are all secrets of major groups."

Bai Wei's words successfully made Lin Yu, who had just been interested, roll his eyes.

However, this conversation did reduce his prejudice against prosthetic technology.

Although he probably still couldn't accept transforming himself into a machine, he was still quite envious of the advantages of cyber transformers, especially the strong survivability.

"By the way, what's the energy shield on you just now?"

When thinking about survivability, Lin Yu thought of the fact that he didn't even dare to get off the mecha now, and felt a little depressed. Then he remembered the energy shield he saw from Bai Wei before the war.

The Federation does have energy shield technology, but it is basically carried on the body of warships and mechas. After all, this thing requires a huge amount of energy consumption and computing power support, and miniaturization has always been a huge problem.

As far as he knows, the most successful miniaturized energy shield is only a handheld energy shield with a small body, which expands into an energy shield after activation.

This kind of energy shield is mainly portable, with poor battery life, and in order to reduce the computing power requirements, it directly uses a fixed frame, which can only be condensed into a shield or an energy shield fixed to one place.

But the energy shield on Bai Wei's body just now was like a layer of water film, close to the skin, not only following the movement, but also deforming with the movement of the limbs, and also has automatic protection for detection and attack. It is likely that there should be a huge amount of calculation in energy distribution and unloading.

This is not something that ordinary energy shield technology can do.

Moreover, this kind of close contact with the body surface can also defend against physical attacks. Even if it can only defend against small-power electromagnetic firearms, it is no different from a self-defense weapon.

"I'm not sure about this. It should be the prosthesis implanted by my sister..."
