Chapter 15 The Beginning of Rebirth

"If the lord is in a good mood, a thug may be fine. But it may be killed by the lord just after losing his asylum?"

The mayor nodded: "The lord may announce that the civilized asylum of our town is temporarily revoked. We are declared illegal as a 'group'."

Xiang Shan was taken aback: "So, what will happen..."

Yuki seems to have mentioned that there are thugs in the wilderness...

"Bandit gangs in the wilderness." The mayor sighed heavily: "Bandit gangs generally dare not invade protected towns. But occasionally there will be small towns whose protection is revoked. At this time, the residents of the town go to other settlements , but they can retain the 'personal asylum', but during this period, as long as they are still in this settlement, they are regarded as 'unprotected'. Bandits can plunder at will..."

Xiang Shan probably understood that the so-called "protection of civilization" was actually divided into two parts.One is the so-called "group shelter", that is, "safe zone", and the other is "individual shelter", that is, "good people".

Asylum is absolutely effective only when the "good people" are in the "safe zone".Otherwise, whether the asylum will take effect depends on the mood of the "asylum".

In this era, all those who do not violate the "Dyson principle" are regarded as "good citizens" by default.Those who have lost their asylum can also enter the "safe zone" - as long as they are not afraid of being beaten to death.

Xiang Shan was very surprised: "Then why don't you go to other settlements?"

"First of all, the crop production in other settlements is limited and cannot feed everyone. If the residents of other towns refuse us to stay there...then they can expel us in the name of 'defending their own property'."

"On the way to other settlements, there is also the possibility of being attacked by mobs." The mayor shook his head: "There are monitoring lines in the village, and under normal circumstances, bandits don't dare to destroy the lines. That would be tantamount to damaging the lord's reputation and embarrassing the lord. But if we stray off the main road and go to other colonies...they use EMP and they can wipe us all out without anyone noticing."

Xiang Shan only felt cold.Even if he doesn't have the nerve to sense temperature.

From the words of the mayor, he knew two things.

First, this era is really troubled.

Second, anyone's sensory prosthetic body may become the eyes of the superior.

Otherwise, there is no need to specifically say "use EMP".

It's an extremely bad time...

The mayor sighed: "If we can resist, we also want to try our best to resist. Shan, when the mobs attack, will you help us?"

Seeing the mayor's expression, Xiang Shan once again felt a sense of urgency.

It was different from the sense of oppression that Xiang Shan felt when he recalled "Yawgmoth".It is a sense of imminent crisis.

"Time is running out." Xiang Shan said to himself, "We must catch up."

After the mayor left, Xiang Shan called Yuki back.

The next thing to do is the part that Yuki is interested in.

Xiang Shan intends to turn that dog-shaped prosthetic body into a part of his new prosthetic body.

When taking out the spine before, Xiang Shan had already opened the dog-shaped prosthesis from the wound on the chest of the dog-shaped prosthesis.The wound was right behind the face that disgusted Xiang Shan, right through the biological brain buried in the chest.

This biological brain is within the brain-machine barrier made of metal-based proteins, several nutrient pipelines, and an independent oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange pump are directly connected to him.Directly above the brain, is a heavily modified cerebellum.The cerebellum is pretty much "hung" from the spine.

Borrowing the doctor's knife, he quickly peeled off the layer of fur on the dog.

"Wow..." Yuki on the side let out a surprised voice.

Under the fur is not the iron body as imagined, but some kind of light blue translucent muscle.

Yes, really muscles.Countless translucent fibers are stacked together.Countless dischargers are buried in the muscles, and each fiber is connected with dischargers at both ends.This seems to be some kind of polymer shape memory material, which will quickly curl up after charging, like a real muscle.

It's really beautiful.

And Xiang Shan focused his eyes on the fur in his hand.

This is of course not real animal skin.Even if Xiang Shan adjusted his eyes to the level of an optical microscope, he still couldn't see structures like sweat glands and hair follicles.The main component of this layer of fur seems to be some kind of polymer material similar to silica gel, which has a certain degree of toughness. At least Xiang Shan can't tear it apart with pure arm strength.

But no matter how breathable the material itself is, once a layer of "fluff" is formed on the surface, there will be no "heat dissipation" at all.

For this practice of exchanging "performance" for appearance, Xiang Shan can only express his perplexity.

If Will Granddog didn't have this layer of skin, then he might not need to open such a large air intake, and naturally he wouldn't be allowed to seize the opportunity.

"Xiang Shan..." Yuki tugged at Xiang Shan's arm.

Xiang Shan shook his head: "When outsiders are around, you can call me whatever you want. But when it's just the two of us, remember to call me 'Master'. This is the rule of knights in the river and lake."

"Oh, master..." Yuki curled his lips: "How can such...such accessories be transferred to your body?"

He looked at the legs facing the mountain.It is still two sticks composed of solid iron columns.

It seemed completely out of tune with the muscles of that industrial artwork.

"If I'm not mistaken, each fiber of this electronic muscle can be disassembled separately. In this way, even if it is damaged, it can be replaced quickly..." Xiang Shan poked a few times on the discharger with a magnetic screwdriver. Next, quickly opened the prosthesis, and then fiddled with it a few more times.The discharger and the surrounding fibers naturally fall off,

Xiang Shan first put the discharger aside: "Well, it looks like this... I'm pretty lucky."

Except for a muscle in the chest, which was punctured by the electric shock rod, and all the fibers in it were no longer usable, all the muscle fibers were intact.

Xiang Shan turned his gaze back to the penetrating wound on his chest.When he removed the spine, the brain and cerebellum were completely necrotic.He intends to put this thing aside for the time being.

But Ukey pointed out that according to regulations, this organic ingredient must be taken to the farmland in the town to recycle the organic ingredient.

Xiang Shan is not very used to this view of "using the human brain as a resource".But there's nothing wrong with the morals Yuki knows well, if viewed from the perspective of "the best interests of society."He nodded, indicating that Yuki could dispose of that brain according to the rules here.

Yuki was watching the prosthetic body dismembered by his master, he saw it fresh and was reluctant to leave.That piece of brain is temporarily placed on the table.

Together with the brain, there are three chips and some storage devices.

Among the three chips, two are used to drive the prosthesis.One of them is set to prevent the other from malfunctioning or having a BUG.The other piece is specially used to transform the brain-machine signal, so that the biological brain has a stronger control over the prosthetic body.

The storage disk may contain things like martial arts algorithms and experience convolution.

That's right, the Budo algorithm.

The transmission speed of human nerve signals varies from [-] meter per second to [-] meters per second.It depends on the specific nerve fiber—the specific value varies from nerve fiber to fiber.In addition, the bioelectrical signals inside nerve cells are fine, but the chemical signals between nerve cells can only be described as "turtle speed".

In many cases, the speed of the response depends entirely on how many times a signal needs to go through between neurons.

But in any case, compared with the nearly light-speed electrical signal in the metal wire, the nerve signal is "barely moving".

It is impossible for human consciousness to keep up with the movements of the prosthesis.Only by dismantling the signal of the prosthetic body into the shortest data, turning it into the simplest stimulus and transmitting it into the human brain, and then the human brain makes a response similar to low-level instincts——this is the only way to keep up with the modern high-intensity prosthetic body .

However, the Turing machine has things that the Turing machine can never do, so the human brain will continue to exist in the warrior.

In other words, "Martial Arts" was designed like this from the beginning.

Writing an "instinct program" that "adapts" to the martial arts algorithm in the biological brain is what a warrior must do-even to a certain extent, this determines the height that a warrior can achieve.

After the brain, there is a battery.This is much more advanced than the garbage that Xiang Shan used before, and the storage capacity is at least fifty times that of that garbage, and it can indeed support a period of high-intensity combat.

And then, inside the dog's abdominal cavity, there is actually an... internal combustion engine?

Xiang Shan found an iron wire, which was stained with the liquid remaining on the internal combustion engine.He has no sense of smell or taste now, so first place the wire under a small piece of iron, and then try to get a little spark.

The light blue flame flickered away.Xiang Shan's prosthetic eye adjusted the lens, and also found a little undetectable water droplets on the iron sheet.

ethanol.

This guy actually uses ethanol fuel.

"This is..." Xiang Shan thought for a moment, and then carefully observed the mechanical structure inside the dog-shaped prosthetic body.

"Is this connected to the mouth? When the output of the battery is insufficient, use the internal combustion engine to increase output..."

Although the energy conversion rate of the heat engine is very low compared with a battery with stable output, its explosive power is exceptionally strong.

This is used to increase explosive power under the premise that the maximum power of the battery is constant.

After counting his trophies, Xiang Shan picked up the small repair terminal he borrowed from the doctor.

Next, is the main event.

About chip handling.

"Small repair terminal" is also called "small medical terminal", which is a specialized intelligent terminal.The front looks a lot like a 21st-century smartphone, only far thicker than that.Its back is a special structure composed of 1024*1024 metal sticks.Press it lightly, and an interface that fits the pressing object will appear on it.

This thing can read most modern common chips and storage systems.Even ancient disks can be read.

Xiang Shan had already dismantled the terminal in advance.He temporarily removed the network card inside, and then stuck a magnet in an area that would not interfere with the operation of the terminal itself, so as to ensure that it would not be snooped on to the greatest extent.

Then, he removed a driver chip and pressed it on the back of the terminal.The plane formed by the metal rods is immediately dented, and the interface on the chip is in natural contact with the top of the metal rods, as if there is a slot behind the terminal.

Soon, the data was read out.

"Ok?"

If Xiang Shan still had eyebrows, then he should have frowned.

"What's wrong? Master." Yuki asked curiously, "You don't understand, do you?"

"If you don't understand, it's not too scary..." Xiang Shan murmured, "But I don't think...it shouldn't be like this?"

——I actually... can understand everything.
