Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

Until the most recent reproduction war: the patriarch finally ascended the throne and obtained a supreme seat on the board of directors of the Taihai Chain.

Today, Xuegui once again created a new experimental product as he had done in the past, to assist in his work.

She had no ill intentions, nor was it out of any eccentricity: it was simply out of the need of the moment and the spirit of making the best use of things...

All the useless redundancies in the human body were removed, leaving only the essence of the Korean hacker's body.

Park Wenzhi was made into a temporary biological computer.

……

Chapter 300: Greed (XV)

……

……

Make use of what you have and don’t waste what is still valuable.

This thrifty mentality has been present since Snow Ghost started his business with the Patriarch and other confidants; even now, after going through many ups and downs and countless wars, it is still ingrained in Snow Ghost's soul.

……

The Snow Ghost doesn't like the transformation style that only retains the brain and discards other body parts - when it needs to be "used", too many other parts must be connected: modules such as expansion culture dishes, three souls and seven spirits conversion to the Yin God protocol, and scattered prostheses; these necessary peripherals make the entire use process bloated and troublesome, and are not suitable for the Snow Ghost who often acts alone.

Not to mention those natural limbs that were discarded and could have been used as materials: just like the runners on the model panels that were cut and thrown into the trash can - this is undoubtedly a waste.

For the Snow Ghost:

She prefers to shape these tools made of "people" into simpler and more design-oriented shapes. She especially likes the one-piece feel, and has no liking for complicated and confusing expansions: this is her way of balancing practicality and comfort.

To achieve this, the original limbs that were originally thrown away can be put to use: the bones can be used to make a transitional external frame to make the shape of the biocomputer more ergonomic; the fat and soft tissue that maintain activity can provide a cushion for the hard outer frame to facilitate long-term use.

Although it was only a temporary transitional object made at the current emergency moment, Xuegui was unwilling to compromise on aesthetic principles: this can be seen from the fact that she did not make additional holes or grooves on the skull, but only used the human "mold" in a few reserved holes on the head.

……

The hacker named Park Wenzhi——

After only a brief examination in the short time alone in the van, Xue Gui discovered his true nature: this "scholar" from Goryeo possessed a rather strange and unconventional deep-diving technique - which allowed Park Wenzhi to use magical powers that were completely different from the popular style in Southeast Asia without having to rely too much on implants and external devices.

In addition, the amount of brain tissue development and the depth of brain grooves and convolutions are excellent, with both strong synapses and stable myelin sheaths; Park Wenzhi possesses a brain function configuration that Xuegui admires very much.

Snow Ghost likes this kind of useful and rare material.

Reliable brain wetware, combined with interesting software from foreign lands - the combination of the two made the Snow Ghost somewhat itchy; coupled with the fact that the enemy was lurking in the dark and the entire city was on the verge of destruction... The Snow Ghost, who had no magical combat ability of his own, naturally used the Goryeo hackers as material to create this computer as an aid and supplement.

……

The Snow Ghost only retained his head as the main container and removed the extremely redundant limbs, torso and body organs. This can save and reduce space to the greatest extent; and make up for the shortcomings of most hand-made bio-computers, which are bulky.

After all, the Snow Ghost doesn't need the mobility of Park Wenzhi's weak body, which is better than nothing: the social work that is coordinated with the supernatural powers can be completed by the Snow Ghost himself.

……

The first thing Xuegui dealt with was the reconstruction of Pu Wenzhi's appearance.

In her design, the skull and facial bones had to be reopened, separated, and reassembled:

Because the original spherical shape of the head is not suitable for human hands to hold, no matter how comfortable it is, it is limited; in extreme conditions, it may even fly out of the hand due to lack of stability.

But usually - after such manual modification of the shape and replacement into a block-like shape, the human head becomes fragile and the feel is not uniform: some areas have the hard part of the skull, while others are simply filled with soft tissue and muscle to maintain the appearance.

Faced with this problem, Snow Ghost did not use the excavated bones and fat as materials to make a handle for holding... Instead, it adopted a layout similar to that of a portable panel:

At the back of the head, he used his own hand shape to leave grooves in the shape of ten fingers; this way, when the Snow Ghost holds Park Wenzhi in his hands, he can comfortably insert his fingers into them - even in high-intensity mobile operations, he will not be easily shaken off.

……

Next, the redundant and useless facial protrusions such as the eyeballs were removed, and the vacated holes in the facial features were filled with buttons for operation.

The spinal nerves were peeled off separately and processed manually by the Snow Ghost - her body, which had undergone countless modifications, contained biological modules that were sufficient to serve as tools - and the lines extending from the broken neck served as connections; then the cartilage and part of the muscle were joined, and the hypertrophic scar tissue was wrapped around the outside to form buttons with resilience and an acceptable feel.

In addition to the seven orifices, Park Wenzhi's stretched cheeks on both sides were also re-installed and modified; the tiny buttons with tooth dentin as the main shell, the unactivated dental nerves were directly embedded in the skin and muscles after extension, and connected to the cranial nerve plexus, becoming a semi-permanent input panel.

Although the small size of the toothbrush may cause some inconvenience and accidental touches, considering the usage scenarios that require precise input, this size is acceptable as a functional supplement.

……

To an outsider who has not learned much about battlefield autopsy technology, it seems to be a redundant design: buttons, keys and even other input panels are not necessary for a biological computer that is inherently intelligent.

However, Snow Ghost has other considerations -

Although the Snow Ghost retained most of Park Wenzhi's brain tissue, so that he still possessed the intelligence and acumen of a hacker; but there were no suitable tools and materials to create an interface link for the soul to be in sync, which led to the fact that most of the interactions between the Snow Ghost and him had to be done through voice communication:

The Snow Ghost asks questions orally - Park Wenzhi receives the questions through his simplified ears and gets the answers after brain calculations - and then conveys the answers back to the Snow Ghost in the same oral way.

Slow, easily distracted, and extremely inefficient.

Normally, it is barely acceptable to do some data retrieval and information query, spontaneous conjecture and verification work...

However, considering the suddenness and timeliness of medium- and close-range contact warfare, the huge information entropy brought about by this inefficient human-computer interaction will inevitably lead to a significant decline in the combat efficiency of the Snow Ghosts.

Snow Ghost would never tolerate the crucial window of victory being missed due to his own poor skills.

……

Chapter 301: Greed (XVI)

……

……

Therefore, Xue Gui preset several auxiliary programs for Park Wenzhi that could be executed urgently through soul searching and hypnosis, and set the activation methods to "button" and "audio": this way, it can simultaneously meet the stability during combat and the immediacy of response time.

Of course, in addition to this, there are also issues with battery life -

After having all of his original human organs removed, Pu Wenzhi could no longer sustain himself solely on his own.

However, also because of the elimination of unnecessary parts, the energy consumption of Pu Wenzhi has become relatively lower, at least able to meet the needs of continuous carrying and use.

As for the oxygen and nutrient supply to the brain tissue, it can be accomplished through external introduction: the body of the Snow Ghost, which has undergone countless self-transformations over the years, naturally has corresponding glands and output interfaces to provide nutrients and energy to Park Wenzhi - it can supply a large amount of nutrition at a time to store energy, and it can also use a structure similar to an umbilical cord to establish a long-term connection.

As a bio-computer hastily built to deal with the current emergency situation, Xuegui did not set a sleep mode for Park Wenzhi at all - in the literal sense of the word - which also shortened its service life.

However, considering the harsh usage environment and the possibility of damage, Xuegui believes that there is no need to consider too much about its service life.

……

Of course, Pu Wenzhi has many shortcomings: However, most of them are flaws that can only be discovered after long-term use.

For example, the buttons at the eye sockets are not produced by molds but are handmade by Snow Ghost; the gaps between the buttons cannot fit perfectly and are easily covered with dust. The characteristics of the bio-computer also make it difficult to disassemble for cleaning at any time.

Snow Ghost originally wanted to try to fix the orbital tear glands inside the eye sockets through connective tissue, so that they could secrete tears regularly and automatically clean the area around the buttons. However, after the experiment, Snow Ghost found that the flow of tears could not be stopped at all; and the oil produced by the sweat glands and sweat would make the buttons sticky.

"Fragile people, even if they are made into tools...are still fragile."

She was very dissatisfied with Park Wenzhi's crying for no reason...but she had no choice but to give up installing the self-cleaning function.

There is no standard neural pipeline interface, and it does not follow the spirit/flesh transmission protocol; this makes "Park Wenzhi" incompatible with most common electronic products in contemporary times... But this is what Xuegui did on purpose. After all, she only needs to use "Park Wenzhi" to handle some auxiliary work and does not need to use it to travel through time.

Similarly, simplicity is not compatible with display output devices: there are no suitable parts in the human body to serve as carriers of display panels; and external displays are too luxurious on the battlefield.

……

In summary--

A temporarily modified and constructed biological computer; it even retains a certain degree of intelligent feedback, making it more convenient to use.

If Xuegui had time to return to the Tai Palace at the Taihai Chain headquarters and spend a few days carefully preparing the recipe, the finished product would be even more perfect than it is now.

However, we cannot be too demanding: as a temporary auxiliary tool, the current state of "Pu Wenzhi" is sufficient for Snow Ghost to use in an emergency.

It is far from being one of Snow Ghost's most satisfying works - but it is still usable; but if it is in the hands of the head ancestor, this material should perhaps be able to make a better tool.

……

The kings of the thirty-six mountains under the Taihai Chain have now died in the rituals performed by the British Alchemy Empire - this also represents the evaporation of most of the high-level demons within the territory of Luzon: those ordinary demons at the level of thousands or even tens of thousands will need at least several decades to reproduce and grow before they can reach the realm of the king.

Although the real cause of such casualties was the frenzied changes in the depths of Guixu...

However, the British Alchemy Empire, which came from afar, actually achieved the original purpose of their plan: using the Dead City to annihilate the kings of the Taihai Chain in the palace.

Yes: the 19 great kings were almost all killed or injured, and their headquarters on the surface were also destroyed in a series of fierce battles with the Nine-Child Ghost Mother... However, is this enough to destroy the existence of the Taihai Chain?

"Of course not enough."

Snow Ghost thought in his heart - among the victims of the ritual of the Fangshu Empire, a great king was missing after all.

The most crucial one...the one who is different.

……

Is there any possibility that the Patriarch will perish in this conspiracy?

Snow Ghost had never considered the possibility of this situation.

Although the answer Park Wenzhi gave from the Taihai Chain Database could not be verified, it at least supported Xuegui's conjecture:

The current silence and chaos in Guixu is most likely a disaster caused by the British Magic Empire...

Snow Ghost did not know the nickname of this "Spiritual Storm" - this was just the name given by the Royal Alchemy Laboratory to the common "natural" phenomenon in the Dead City: and in the nearly 100 years that the Taihai Chain occupied Guixu, such a strange phenomenon had never occurred.

But this did not solve the snow ghost's doubts: Why is he still alive? Even without being affected at all?

When the thick fog of chaos emerged from the depths of Guixu, the pale mist swept away the lives of 70,000 people in an instant: if the descendants of the kings were counted, the number would be multiplied by who knows how many times.

But when the aura enveloped the snow ghost like it was wrapping up other people, to her, it was all like a warm breeze, very gentle and warm——

Does this mean that she is different?

……

Snow Ghost was certainly special. She made no secret of it, and never doubted her own value and talent: she was the attendant disciple of the Patriarch, the attendant of the great king from the other side of time - this was enough to explain more than what Snow Ghost said.

But the benefits brought by this special status are more psychological and emotional - no matter how crazy she is, she does not think that an identity and false reputation are enough to make her stand out from countless creatures and gain the right to survive.

This is a difficult problem...Based on the existing information, Xuegui cannot give a suitable reasoning.

But it doesn’t matter: the person who can give her an answer is deeper in Guixu.

……

"Clay man... Clay man. Please wait for me for a moment."

Snow Ghost recited the name of the Patriarch in his heart devoutly but suppressedly:

Unlike other kings, they still retain their surnames as a testimony to their ancient history... Coming from the Toulong Cave of Awa Mountain, this demon "Clay Man" with a code name is the king with the shortest existence in the history of the entire Taihai chain.

Now, he is the only remaining king.

……

Chapter 302: Greed (Part )

……

……

The Snow Ghost continued to walk deeper into Guixu. Her steps were much faster and more frequent than those of an ordinary person; with a light tap of her toes, she lightly passed over the corpses crawling on the ground one after another: even just a little slower than the golf carts that used to commute in Guixu.

When she was about to reach the end of the Dead City's transformation area - going further, she would have to leave Taihai Chain's stronghold in the Dead City and go deeper into Guixu - the originally extremely silent Guixu was once again gradually filled with noise and bustle.

That direction is the garrison area of ​​Apo Mountain Toulong Cave.

……

The Patriarch has two thrones——

A golden throne is a ceremonial and regulatory position: used to attend board meetings. Before each board meeting officially begins, the engineering department of the Taihai Chain spends several weeks moving the kings to their own thrones.

On the other side, from the direction where the rustling sound came from - that was the real throne of the ancestor... or rather, a part of his body.
