Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 18 High Technology
Don't know why.

After the incident with the stinging jellyfish, Yang Si suddenly became much more honest.

Although she still came to see Xie Shen frequently, she no longer clamored to sleep with him.

fair enough.

Xie Shen was happy to have some free time, as he could spend more time on cultivation.

Women will only affect the speed of his cultivation.

...

Soon, nearly half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Xie Shen stayed in the green area during the day, absorbing the spiritual power contained in unknown algae and red and yellow herbs.

At night, he would secretly take one or two herbs back to his room and refine them.

Although the spiritual power contained in these spiritual herbs and plants is not much, practicing in the Qi training stage is just a slow process and not difficult.

So after half a month of hard training, Xie Shen finally successfully broke through to the middle stage of Qi training.
evening.

In the green area of ​​space station 031.

As usual, as soon as it was time to get off work, Yang Si took the initiative to get close to Xie Shen.

Maybe it’s because I care more about Xie Shen.

She noticed Xie Shen's change at a glance: "Oh my god, you put on makeup?"

"How is that possible?" Xie Shen said with a smile: "When have you ever seen me put on makeup?"

"Then your skin."

Yang Si moved his head closer to Xie Shen and observed carefully: "How come your skin suddenly looks so good, it's like you applied something."

Every time a cultivator makes a breakthrough, not only will his strength be improved, but his body will also undergo a qualitative change.

So it is completely normal for Xie Shen’s skin to improve.

He smiled and joked to Yang Si: "How is it? Do you like me more?"

Xie Shen is also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires.

After almost a month of getting along, he already regarded Yang Si as a friend, and even occasionally made a joke to him.

But this time, Yang Si rarely responded to Xie Shen's joke. Instead, he said seriously, "I really like you more. Before, I just thought you were a little bit good-looking, but that was it. But now, I really think you are handsome."

Ah this
Yang Si's words left Xie Shen speechless for a moment.

in the hall.

Just when the atmosphere between the two of them was a little subtle, a voice suddenly sounded out at an inopportune time: "Sorry to bother you."

The person who spoke was a man dressed very neatly in a black suit.

From his voice, it is not difficult to judge that this person is the man in a suit who came to see Xie Shen a month ago and claimed to be a member of the "Separation Society".

Compared with before, the man in the suit did not cover his face with black cloth this time, which obviously showed that he had a certain trust in Xie Shen.

He thought Xie Shen would not report him.

Judging from his appearance, the man in the suit is no more than his early twenties and seems to have just been resurrected by the space station not long ago.

——All those who are resurrected by the "Resurrection Technique" will have their bodies reset back to the age of 22, but they will still gradually age over time.

Seeing Xie Shen looking at him, the man in the suit said meaningfully: "Um, your girlfriend..."

Xie Shen understood what he meant, so he patted Yang Si on the back and said, "You go back first, I have something else to deal with."

The latter didn't say anything, but just looked at Xie Shen with his big eyes, and then left the green plant area very obediently.

"You are indeed different from others."

Seeing Yang Si walking away, the man in the suit got straight to the point and said, "On the night when the jellyfish appeared, you and your girlfriend jumped from such a high place, but nothing happened to you." Hearing this, Xie Shen said with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Are you spying on me?"

"No no."

The man in the suit explained, "That night, you jumped from such a high place. Isn't it normal for some of us to notice you?"

Xie Shen said expressionlessly: "Very good, don't pay attention to it next time."

"Hey,"

The man in the suit saw that Xie Shen was unhappy.

He laughed dryly, and said to Xie Shen with a hint of flattery: "You don't have to be so wary of me, right? There is no conflict between us."

Xie Shen said in a gentle tone: "There is something wrong with the time you gave me before. You said it was the next night, but the jellyfish came that night."

"It's normal to have errors." The man in the suit said as a matter of course: "We are not gods, we are just a group of people who have united together to form a small organization, so the information we can get is not necessarily 100% accurate."

As he spoke, he also stated the purpose of his visit: "I came here this time mainly to ask you if you have made up your mind, whether you want to join our Separation Society?"

The man in the suit began to paint a big picture for Xie Shen.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of 'mechanical power armor'."

"We have separated from the society and recently acquired a set of the latest model - C21 armor."

"But that set of armor has high requirements for the wearer. It requires extremely strong mental strength to operate it."

"Then we found a lot of people and planned to train them, including you."

Mecha?
Xie Shen now finally understood why the Separation Society had insisted on recruiting him.

This is what we have been thinking about for a long time.

Out of curiosity, he asked the man in the suit, "What is the specific capability of the C21 armor you mentioned? For example, speed, strength, etc."

"It's definitely not going to be fast." The man in the suit said, "Power armor has never been good at speed."

"After all, in terms of reaction speed and instantaneous acceleration, the functions of living organisms are always much faster than those of machines."

"The advantages of power armor are mainly reflected in its destructive power and defensive power, and the wearer can also adapt to various extreme environments."

"How about it, are you interested?" The man in the suit revealed: "I heard that the maximum thrust of the C21 armor is about 10 tons, which is equivalent to..."

The man in the suit thought for a moment and said, "It's equivalent to five SUVs of the 5st century."

Considering that he would most likely encounter enemies wearing power armor in the future, Xie Shen continued to ask: "What about the battery life?"

"As for battery life," the man in the suit replied, "at full power it should last about an hour, and if it's on standby, it should last at least half a month or more."

This is not finished.

The man in the suit continued, "In addition to power armor, we also have people in the Separation Society who can do mechanical modification. If you are interested, I can recommend you to become a cyborg."

"Mechanical modification?" Xie Shen had a strange expression on his face.

The man in the suit explained, "Didn't I just say that power armor cannot compare to biological bodies in terms of reaction speed and instantaneous acceleration?"

"But mechanical transformation is different."

"If we transform a person into a half-biological, half-mechanical body, he will have the reaction speed and instantaneous acceleration of a biological body, and at the same time he will have the strength and defense of a power armor. Apart from the phantom pain, there are basically no disadvantages."

"What does phantom pain mean?" Xie Shen heard a new term.

The man in the suit replied, "After you were transformed into a cyborg, you felt an inexplicable pain in the part of your body that was missing."

"This kind of pain is not real pain, but an illusion created by your brain, so it is called phantom pain."

"Phantom pain is a very common sequelae among cyborgs."
