Chapter 2 Copper Sugar and the Dyson Principle

The man who temporarily used the name "Yog" propped his head up with both hands, looked at the world under the garbage mountain, and sighed again.

"I always feel that the world should not be like this."

"Yog" felt that between himself and this world, there must be someone crazy.

To the east of him is a large piece of "farmland", covered in silver and black.It was a small tree, less than two meters high, with silver-black leaves and pure blue sap.There is a mechanical device on each tree, and special people go to collect juice through the mechanical device every day.

These juices are "copper sugar".

It is said that the mayor's greatest wish is to lay a set of pipelines to realize the unmanned collection of copper sugar, and hold the whole town's copper sugar firmly in his hands.But it is said that this kind of pipeline is more expensive - simply laying the pipeline is not difficult, the difficulty is how to prevent the residents of the town from stealing, the maintenance cost is too high.

Copper sugar was the staple food of residents in this era.

Even though "Yog" himself ingests copper sugar—mainly through a broken hose in the palate—he still finds it crazy.

He once left a little bit of copper sugar, and then found a combustible object to heat the copper sugar for experimentation.

He found that the copper sugar undoubtedly contained copper.When heated to certain conditions, anhydrous copper sulfate will even be precipitated.

This is strange.

But, apart from him, no one seems to think that "organisms should not consume so much copper".

The black plants are also weird. "Yog" really thinks that plants should be green.But Yuki and Yulia mother and son swear to him, saying that there are no green plants in the world.

It's really strange.

It's all very, very, very irrational.

But what is even more strange is that part of his heart feels that the current world is logical.It seemed that after a long period of change, the world he knew had become like this.He even went through this process.

Unfortunately, these things seem to have been burned.There are only a few components left in his electronic brain, which may not be a complete chip, and his biological brain may also be crashed—of course, it may also be starved.

"What the hell is going on in this world..."

he whispered.

"Hey!" Yuki ran up the rubbish mountain: "Yog, why are you still looking at the scenery! Hurry up and help me! Maybe I can gather the raw materials for your new body!"

"Oh." The man was carried by Yuki and ran down the mountain made of scrap iron.The two rolled all the way and came to a place they hadn't been to before.

At this time, besides the head, "Yog" already had a skull [although it was modified from a fuel cap, it doesn't fit the head], two arms [it seems that Yulia used it before, even Yuki's grandmother also used it. However, it was too old and could only be sold for scrap iron money, so Yulia kept it and advocated "Whenever the arm is broken, use it in an emergency"].

Fortunately, although his spine was broken, "the metallization of the central nervous system is very high" [the village chief said, Yuki didn't understand what it meant], that little spine can be used as a "universal interface".Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to use these two arms.

The mayor showed a rare kindness and helped "Yog" connect his hands.

The man has no shoulders, and his hands are directly connected to the cervical spine.He walked on the ground with two hands, like a fowl.

Even the man himself was surprised that he seemed to have a talent for engineering, and it seemed that he really hoped to build a functional body out of parts.

..................................................................

A month later, "Yog" finally installed a "shoulder" on himself.Although this is just taking a section of bearings under the neck, and then attaching the two arms to the bearings.

But at least Yog could nod or shake his head.

This is a huge improvement.Body language really improves communication efficiency a lot.

After that, Yuki found a battery for "Yog" and hung it on the bracket.Men feel that the feeling of having a storage battery is like the "heart" of the old days.After having this battery, he was finally able to move a little longer.

At noon that day, the man stayed next to the solar photovoltaic panel, connected the battery to the common charging port, then opened the shell of his left arm, and used an electromagnetic screwdriver to make minor adjustments.

After realizing that he has an enemy named "Yog", the man fell into a sense of crisis.He didn't know the source of this sense of crisis.It seems like the whole world is tied to this sense of crisis.

He vaguely felt that he must have a complete prosthetic body.

It was the same screwdriver that Yuki had found a few years ago.This sublime war era tool is not particularly expensive, but it is very practical.Yuki just kept it.The head shape of the electromagnetic screwdriver can be fine-tuned according to the target.If detailed parameters are entered, it can even double as a master key.

Of course, in this day and age, it is very difficult to find a mechanical lock.

Men are replacing old, worn parts in their arms with newer ones.Replacing some transmission parts can slightly increase the output of this arm.It's something he's been doing.For him at this stage, he only has these two hands. If these hands are broken, then he will return to the state where only his head remains.

The pupils of his binoculars are constantly expanding and shrinking, adjusting the focus.A few days ago, men were surprised to find that their eyes seemed to be very good things.It is directly connected to the nerves, can zoom freely, and can see things thousands of meters away.The man doesn't know the specific parameters of this eye, but whenever he sets the vision ability of the eye to a higher gear, the cheap chip in his brain will issue an overheating warning, and sometimes even make his vision There is a frame drop effect.

He did understand now why there was such a thing as a "metal eyelid".These eyes are indeed high-end goods, worthy of a special structure to protect them.

"Okay..." The man quickly finished the repair and was about to fix his arm.

"Beep!" The horn blared.A cloud of dust rolled in.The man was startled, and immediately closed the shell of the left arm, pressed the left arm with his head, and then slapped the ground with his right hand as fast as possible, covering the screws that fixed the shell.

Then, the wind and sand roared past.He almost thought he was caught in a sandstorm.

Plants seem to be a rare thing in this day and age.At least in town, "Yog" had seen bushes that produced copper sugar.Other than that, he had never seen a single plant—not even a single grass.

After the storm passed, the man looked at the screws on the ground for the first time.If a few screws are missing at this time, it will be really miserable for him.

There was a loud rumble in front of the man.A gigantic truck came in reverse.The front of the car and the body were decoupled, approaching the man, the camera was condescending: "Yog, it's you! I'm sorry! I really didn't see you, after all, you are now... Hahaha, really small! There are no screws Miss you?"

This voice sounds very rough, like the voice of an old man who has been poisoned by nicotine and alcohol for 30 years.Obviously, this guy is more willing to spend money than Yulia, and is willing to buy a voiceprint package for himself.

"Crazy?" "Yog" was a little annoyed: "Enoch, if you like Yulia, go to Yulia? What do you mean by making trouble in front of me?"

Enoch is also the construction machine in this village.It seems that when he was a teenager, he was infected by silver germs and had to abandon his body and sell his spine in exchange for construction machinery.This guy has worked in the recycling station town for more than ten years as a construction machine, and his income is quite good, but most of it is because of the extravagant spending, so he has no savings at all.

He has a crush on Yulia, the only female construction machine in the village.

Yulia didn't particularly dislike this man.However, the concept of family has long since ceased to exist in her mind. The concept of "family" is sacred, it is the label of human blood and genes.Everyone is obliged to mark their genes with "family" and "name" to ensure that the lord can better take into account genetic diversity when building a human gene pool.And both of them have only brains left, and there is no need to start a family at all.

Rather, Yulia resented Enoch's scratchy behavior from time to time.Both of them are heavy machinery, and one will crash itself if it is not good.Every time Enoch approached him sullenly, Yulia was terrified.Even if Enoch is skilled at cars, the anti-rust paint rubbed off on Yulia's body still needs money to repair.

And now, "Yog" lives in Yulia's son's house.This made Enoch dislike him.

"Yog" felt baffled.He really doesn't understand how love emerges between construction machines - judging by Enoch's appearance, he doesn't seem to be attracted by Yulia's "interesting soul".

Enoch's tires almost rubbed against "Yog"'s face, and the engine roared: "Bastard, listen to me. I feel sorry for you because you are a waste now, so I gave you a chance. You have been staying at Yulia's son's house for so many days, right? You also have prosthetics now... you should get out too, right?"

Men almost thought the tires were going to run over their bodies.At this moment, an idea popped up in his mind uncontrollably.

——Just like this, he fell forward and fell on the inside of the tire...

—he didn't have time to turn...

- Grab the turning shaft...

- Loosen the screw with a vibrating force...

A lot of mechanical composition...

More strategic combinations...

moves...

The man's head made a "hum" sound.The ventilation fan that had just been put in had already started working.Cheap consumer chips cannot support this level of computing.The man almost trembled.

--what's wrong with me?What is this...

Enoch found that the man did not respond, only his two arms were trembling slightly.He thought that this guy had been scared out of his wits, and disdainfully spewed a mouthful of black exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe.After all, he didn't dare to just run over "Yog" like this. The second prohibition of the "Dyson principle" is "killing human beings".Regardless of the reason, if an individual kills human beings and destroys the biological brain of others, he will lose all the protection from civilization.

Enoch's tires shook twice: "I warn you, you'd better move out of Yulia's son's house quickly. You still have three months at most... no, it's two months! Do you understand? In the next Before the gene tax! Otherwise, I have ten thousand ways to make it hard for you!"
