Global wasteland: I am as good as a god with a machine

The vitality of fully synthetic humans is very tenacious.

Thanks to their mechanically built bodies, their various parts can be replaced at any time.

But this does not mean that they are invincible. The body can be replaced, but the quantum brain cannot be replaced at will.

Fully synthetic humans have no breathing and no carbon-based vital signs. The only thing that supports the body is the digitalized soul.

This kind of soul cannot be copied and can only exist in the quantum brain.

In other words, once the quantum brain is damaged, it means the death of this life.

Therefore, when Wu Mian saw Johnny lying on the ground, he had every reason to suspect that he was dead.

Seeing that Johnny didn't respond, Nan Ci quickly picked up the screwdriver on the side and prepared to remove the cover on the back of Johnny's head to confirm his condition.

"This is impossible. Just a few minutes ago, the two of us were having a conversation. How could he die?"

When Li Tong heard that Johnny was dead, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes.

A few minutes ago, she could barely understand that this iron lump was a human being like herself. She didn't expect to hear the news of his death so soon.

The moment Nanci's screwdriver touched the cover screw, Johnny suddenly made a voice: "I'm not dead."

"What the hell..."

Nan Ci hit Johnny hard on the head with a screwdriver: "Since he's not dead, he doesn't react to anything. Do you think this kind of joke is funny?"

"I'm not joking, I'm thinking." Joey sat up from the ground, a flash of doubt flashed in his electronic eyes: "Early this morning, Aunt Liu came to me in the cafeteria and said that the ducks she raised were not laying eggs, so I went over to help cure them.

one time."

Wu Mian was speechless: "Are you ready?"

"That's right. I checked and the duck is fine, but it just won't lay eggs!"

Johnny reached out and knocked his head, and continued amidst the sound of metal collision: "Maybe I have been a synthesizer for too long, and I don't have enough understanding of carbon-based organisms, but this shouldn't be the case. I used the database to compare

After looking at that duck’s physical data, it’s obviously very healthy! But why doesn’t it lay eggs?”

Wu Mian rolled his eyes: "Is it possible, I mean possible, that she is raising a male duck?"

Nan Ci: “!!!”

Li Tong: “!!!”

Johnny hit his head again: "Damn it! I forgot to check the male and female of that duck!"

Wu Mian muttered helplessly: "If nothing else happens, Aunt Liu in the cafeteria should also be a 250-year-old!"

"No! I have to check the gender of that duck right away!" Johnny jumped up from the ground and looked at Wu Mian with a look of admiration: "I'm discovering more and more that you are a genius!"

"Johnny, wait! I need your help with something here!" Nan Ci reached out to stop Johnny: "I need infrared shielding materials and a one-way signal shielding device! Give me the things first, and then go

Mind the duck’s business!”

"Wait here!" Johnny turned and walked towards the inner room, muttering constantly: "Wait a minute, I have to check carefully, how do ducks distinguish male from female..."

Wu Mian looked at Qiao Ni walking away, and suddenly remembered what happened the night before. He tapped his forehead and asked Nan Ci, "Is there something wrong with him here?"

"Yeah." Nan Ci nodded: "Johnny was originally Uncle Min's student. After the Freedom War, the government began to crack down on synthetics. As a mechanical expert, Uncle Min was naturally the first to bear the brunt. At that time, people from the military were responsible for where Uncle Min was.

A cleaning plan was launched in the laboratory. In order to protect Uncle Min, Johnny was shot in the head. When we rescued Uncle Min, we brought back Johnny's body at his request."

Wu Mian originally thought that Johnny had mental illness before the transformation, but after hearing Nan Ci's story, he was a little surprised: "This is the first time I have heard that the intelligence of fully synthetic humans will be affected."

Nan Ci shrugged and said: "To be precise, it was data loss. His quantum brain was damaged at that time. When Uncle Min transferred his consciousness, part of the data was lost. Fortunately, this loss was not fatal, but his

The brain will intermittently short-circuit, like..."

Li Tong interjected: "I know, it's like the human brain is missing a string."

"That's right." Nan Ci didn't know if this metaphor was appropriate, but still nodded: "According to Uncle Min, Johnny is a research and development genius. When he is not sick, he is still quite powerful. Geniuses and madmen,

Maybe it’s hard to tell the difference, isn’t it?”

Wu Mian had a different view: "He is not a madman, but more like a fool."

Soon, Johnny carried a big bag and handed it to Nan Ci: "Here is what you want. Take it, I'm going to find the duck."

Wu Mian smiled: "Looking for ducks is risky, you need to be cautious when it comes to passion, pay attention to your health, and maintain hygiene!"

Johnny: "???"

Nan Ci put the bag into his backpack and glanced at the smart bracelet: "Time is tight and the task is heavy, it's time for us to set off."

When Li Tong heard the word "mission", he subconsciously grabbed Wu Mian's hand: "Are you going to do something dangerous?"

Wu Mian pouted: "That's right."

Li Tong reached out and untied the golden Buddha from his neck, stood up on tiptoes and hung it around Wu Mian's neck: "Wear this for safety."

Wu Mian wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Tong's worried eyes, he finally accepted the kindness: "Thank you."

Seeing Wu Mian staring at him, Li Tong shyly let go of his palm and said, "Be careful."

Nan Ci and Wu Mian left the maintenance workshop and said with a smile: "This girl seems to have a crush on you."

"She's just a little brat. What does she know about love?" Wu Mian didn't take this matter seriously and said instead, "Tell me about the information about the Wolf King Society."

"The Wolf King Club's Jiangjunwei is a walled village. In the past, such walled villages were used to defend against foreign enemies. However, their walled village was built by the government to resist them. Jiangjunwei is one of the three major slums in Kyoto.

The public security is chaotic, there is a mixture of good and bad, there is no official organization, and the order is controlled by the Wolf King. Outsiders rarely enter that place. Only some criminals will run there when they are desperate. As long as they are not felons wanted by the police station, the police

Generally, we don’t take huge risks to go in and arrest people.”

Nan Ci handed a revolver and a handful of bullets to Wu Mian and continued: "The members of the Wolf King Society are ordinary people and have no contact with us, so we don't know much about them. This morning, we were in the city

An informant passed on the news that two synthetic humans who had been lurking in human society for a long time were taken away by people from the Wolf King Society on their way to work."

Wu Mian understood what was going on and asked: "Are the people who were arrested one of yours? Pretending to be working as normal people to earn money for your activities?"

Nan Ci shook his head: "No, the arrested people have nothing to do with us. They are just an ordinary couple. We have been urging them to live outside the city, but they have been rejected many times."

Wu Mian was not interested in this: "It has nothing to do with it, why did you risk entering the territory of the Wolf King Guild?"

"Perhaps it is precisely because we have lived in darkness that we want to bring a ray of light to others. Synthetic humans themselves are not criminals. We are guilty because the coalition government said we are guilty!"

Nan Ci showed a bitter smile: "The purpose of our resistance army is to overturn the unjust laws of the coalition government, eliminate unfair treatment, and let all synthetics live with dignity. Those synthetics whose identities have not been exposed,

I can understand the fear and rejection we have. We are all human beings. If we can live a normal life, who would be willing to give up everything we have and hide like a mouse like us?"

Wu Mian expressed his understanding: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with wanting to live like a normal person, and it should not become a luxury wish."
