Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 806 Cyber ​​Spirit
Yan Xu, who had been hiding behind the scenes, stretched his muscles. Although it was not yet time for him to show up, it was still okay for him to put on a vest and go out for a walk. Moreover, he was looking forward to Night City very much and couldn't wait for Jin Bing and others to slowly build it. So Richter Corporation announced that it would donate 10,000 brain-computer exoskeletons to the quarantine zone to help them build their homes.

Although the exoskeletons produced by Richter are simple, they still require some professional training, especially the military models loaded with weapon systems, which are more sensitive and require not only special training but also certain physical requirements for the user.

Powered exoskeletons can provide additional assistance. The more advanced the model, the greater the power. The disadvantage is that there is no intelligent system and it relies entirely on capturing human movements to drive it, so there will be delays.

This delay is necessary in design, otherwise the swinging of the arms while running can cause joint dislocation and muscle tearing, because the arms are repeatedly exerting force in two directions, and any mistake in motion capture will cause the body to bear the damage of the reverse force.

If the sensitivity is reduced, it is not a big deal, both humans and machines will have time to react, but this is not the case for combat powered exoskeletons. Delay on the battlefield means suicide, so higher sensitivity is required.

The higher the sensitivity, the higher the physical fitness required, which is a must.

But the brain-computer exoskeleton is different. It is almost integrated with the user. Except for the fool who trips over his left foot and falls on the ground, there is no problem of perception error at all.

The only requirement for use is to install a brain-computer interface at the back of the head near the spine, so that the exoskeleton can truly become your own exoskeleton through neural connection.

However, this operation needs to be performed at Richter Company and the fee is very high, so ordinary citizens cannot afford it.
A number of illegal black clinics soon appeared in the quarantine zone, which were able to perform this operation for relatively low fees and could also obtain loans from Jin Bing's gang.

There is no need to worry about not being able to pay it back, because as long as the operation is completed, you can receive a brain-computer exoskeleton for free. By wearing the brain-computer exoskeleton, you can get a stable job and income, so you can pay the interest and live a happy life as a cow or a horse.

Because the number of brain-computer exoskeletons is limited, whoever completes the operation first will receive it first, so no one considers whether there are any problems. Even if there are problems, no one cares. They need a stable income so much that they will eat it first even if there is poison wrapped in honey.

This matter was not kept secret at all. The outside world was shocked by this invention at first, and then discussed whether it was humane. However, many pharmaceutical companies were impressed because this was their way of giving out free drugs and getting human data. So they contacted Jin Bing one after another.

Jin Bing said that drugs could be sold in his territory, but he had to pay extra.

Just thinking about the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people who can be used as data samples, and that they are sample data from extremely rare polluted areas in the world, these pharmaceutical companies can't sit still and are waving their money to buy places.

As for skipping Kingpin and sending people into the contaminated area, no one would do that.

Because a lot of costs need to be invested upfront, especially human lives.

If we send those who are not loyal enough, we may cause problems. If they are loyal enough, there will not be too many of them. If they are all sent to fill the contaminated area, no one will be able to bear the consequences.

What's more, Jin Bing has never been a merciful person. They dare to say that no matter how many people they send in, as many as they will die in accidents.

A little investment is just a small matter, so after the establishment of Richter Company, veneers of major pharmaceutical companies were also set up, and black clinics were everywhere. Since then, people in the quarantine area have been blessed, with endless work to do, endless suffering, and endless medicine to take.

However, thanks to this, the Eagle Sauce did not completely separate Manhattan Island from New York.

You have to know that Manhattan itself is an island. Once the traffic is cut off, it is self-evident what the consequences will be.

However, because there is almost no production, it is extremely difficult to obtain materials from the outside world, and the infrastructure is even scrapped. The quality of life can be imagined. Yan Xu transformed into a mechanical sage, leaning on a gear scepter and wearing a red robe, walking on the streets of the quarantine area. Everyone who saw him changed their faces and avoided him. There was no way. With his appearance, even Frankenstein could find confidence in him. Moreover, the attached mechanical prostheses and unknown mechanical equipment did not look harmless at all.

The most important thing is that there are no laws here. The law of the jungle is the truth, and facing the strong, remaining humble is the most basic rule of survival.

So let alone the fat black woman who yelled at the police because of her skin color, even the thugs who were drugged and had their brains turned black have learned to read people's expressions.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t learn it, just be more careful in your next life.

It’s obvious from the way Yan Xu is dressed that he is not a normal person, and it’s even hard to say whether he is a human being.

The people in the quarantine zone can be regarded as the most knowledgeable people in New York. They often go deep into the contaminated area to pan for gold and they know very well how many monsters and demons there are here. At least not all the demons are dead, nor have they all returned to hell. They are still wandering deep in the contaminated area, waiting for takeout service.

In addition, the matter of the parasites can no longer be concealed, because from time to time there are infected people who absorb too much radiation, causing the parasites to break through the growth restrictions and parasitize the human body. Eventually, they lose their minds and follow their instincts to go to the contaminated area with high radiation concentration and become a member of the zombie group there.

Recently, some people said that they saw a terrifying monster underground. They don’t know what the monster was, and they don’t care, because only by living until tomorrow will they be qualified to care about the future.

"They are really living in dire straits. It seems that they not only need faith, but also salvation." Yan Xu's electronic voice made the people around him run faster, but there were always some who couldn't run away, and they were at the bottom of the quarantine area, a piece of meat waiting to rot, and also the most desperate group.

Disease, weakness, disability, injury, there are too many possibilities that may cause a life to be lost, but most people can only passively accept them and are completely powerless to resist. But what if they were given a chance to escape?
"Flesh and blood are weak, machines ascend, may the God of All Machines bless you, so, do you believe in religion?"

The cold sound of electricity, the scarlet mechanical eyes, and the mechanical limbs that are ready to move, this is just a live version of a horror movie, but the chosen one spreads his arms indifferently, ready to welcome the embrace of death.

"Very good, this holy anesthetic will relieve you of pain." Yan Xu smiled, and a fluorescent green suspicious drug popped out from the mechanical limb, and then it was injected roughly.

The servo skull that floated out of the red robe played the Cyber ​​Bible, and various painful-looking tools popped out of the mechanical limbs, and the flesh-and-blood mechanical transformation began right on the street.

The people chosen by Yan Xu were already in hell, and with the super powerful anesthetics, they didn't care about these things at all. Even if they watched themselves being chopped into pieces and their rotten limbs and smelly internal organs being discarded, they still regarded it as a relief.

But what awaited him was not death, but rebirth.

In the sacred chanting of the Cyber ​​Bible, flesh and blood were cut out, steel was implanted, engine oil was injected, gears were turned, the fire of life was ignited, and then a miracle happened.

Although the transformation methods were rough and cruel, and his appearance was more like the machine-made humans in perverted movies, he no longer had to endure hunger and despair, and had the power to protect himself.

There were many people who witnessed this scene. Before, these people would have run as far away as they could, but now, they were moved.

The cruel mechanical transformation has become a means of salvation for the lower class. More and more people join in and gain rebirth and hope. Thus, the Gear Church, which strips away flesh and blood, cyber spirit, and mechanical ascension, appears.
