I am Lapland’s rat!

He saw several large analytical instruments against the wall that were making running sounds. They should be centrifuges or something like that;

There were several incubators with many indicators on them in the distance, which reminded Wu Xian that Seria's main research direction in university seemed to be microorganisms.

Slightly in the center of the laboratory is a clean workbench that looks a bit like a glass box. There is a female researcher Li Boli operating in front of the workbench;

Microscopes, electronic balances, stirrers and other experimental equipment are arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the workbench and on the extended tabletop in the depth. Together with the tabletop, they distinguish different experimental areas.

Wu Xian, who was squatting on the calcium platform held by Seria, turned his head to look at Lapland and found that the Luper girl was also admiring this scene that obviously could not be seen in Syracuse.

Her eyes rested on each type of experimental equipment for a moment, and then she asked with a smile: "Seraya, have you decided on the name of your department?"

"Bionics."

Seria answered briefly, "Bionics studies biological structures and their characteristics, and tries to utilize these characteristics."

“Through this type of research, I hope to create bridges between living organisms and science and technology.”

Wu Xian blinked:

"Zhushu, I thought Seria's department would be called the 'Bioengineering Department' or the 'Microbiology Department'."

After all, although Ceria's most eye-catching achievement at the achievement exhibition was the bionic prosthetic limb that can perfectly adapt to any human body, Wu Xian knew that Ceria's thesis in college was about using bioengineering methods to create Research on new species!

In other words, as expected, although Seria did not intend to give up her research, she finally chose a down-to-earth subdivision research direction.

This also fits Seria's character very well.

At this time, the female researcher Li Boli who was focused on the experiment heard the conversation between the two and came back to her senses:

"Ah...Serea Team...Director! And Miss Lapland!"

After the results exhibition, Rheinland Life began to transform from a scientific research group system to a department system, but this researcher could not change his mind for a while.

Today, Rheinland Life has four major scientific research departments and one business department, namely the Bionics Department, the Energy Department, the Structural Department, the Ecological Department and the Human Resources Investigation Department.

Kristen was also officially replaced from general manager to general manager, leading the general component department as the central department.

"Zeniya." Ceria nodded and said in a calm voice, "Show Lapland the Mcbu-10."

"Good... good!"

The researcher named Zheniya seemed a little nervous. She began to operate in the experimental table, while Lapland had already gathered around her curiously.

In order for Wu Xian to see clearly, Ceria also stepped forward and put her hand down so that Wu Xian could stand next to the glass box and see the contents inside.

The cold light was turned on in the glass box. In the small experimental table, on the side away from Zheniya, there were some test tubes, sealed culture media, a processed Originium unit and a lit alcohol lamp.

In the hand of Zheniya, who was wearing rubber gloves, was a small special glass vessel, in which was placed a silver-white crystal in the shape of an octahedron.

When Wu Xian focused his attention on the crystal, he discovered that the surface of the crystal was densely packed with complex tiny protrusions. At a glance, those protrusions seemed to be... moving?

Needless to say, this is definitely the "Mcbu-10" that Seria calls it.

"What's the use of this?"

Wu Xian blinked and heard Seria introducing from the side:

"Its full name is 'Microscale Calcium Biomimetic Unit', which is also the most advanced research result I have made on this project. Simply put, this unit can store a portion of calcification in the core and The unit serves as the core to control particles to move in a microbial manner to achieve the effect of receiving bioelectrical signals and responding to them."

Wu Xian: "?"

What's bad, he understood every word Seria said, but when put together, he didn't understand what Seria meant at all!

"Dad Sai, can you say it again...?"

Unfortunately, Ceria could not hear Wu Xian's thoughts. She signaled Zheniya to give a simple demonstration directly.

Zheniya responded, took a culture medium from the front of the test bench, and put it into the glass vessel containing "Mcbu-10" in front of her.

A certain strain of bacteria has obviously been cultivated in the culture medium, and the masses inside are now a very healthy green color.

So Wu Xian had no choice but to focus on Zheniya's operation.

In the glass vessel, Zheniya opened the culture medium, then used tweezers to pick up the silver-white octahedral crystal, and put it over the opened culture medium colony.

Wu Xian opened his dark eyes slightly.

Closer, closer.

Zenia's movements were also cautious, but finally, a corner of "Mcbu-10" touched the bacterial colony above the culture medium——

At this moment, although Wu Xian had expected it, he was still shocked by what happened next.

The octahedron that seemed to be very stable actually changed its shape the moment it came into contact with the bacterial colony. Several of the faces away from the bacterial colony suddenly collapsed, and the crystals that made up the octahedron spread like water waves. Come on!

Wu Xian didn't know how to describe the scene in front of him. It was as if "Mcbu-10" had macroscopically embodied the activities of the bacterial flora. Those silver-white crystals were scattered into tiny, thick particles. Like breathing, it continues to spread and gather in all directions.

This is a very sci-fi scene.

Chapter 136 Rat Mecha

At this time, Wu Xian suddenly understood what Seria meant:

Information is transmitted between human body tissues through bioelectrical signals. As you can see, this bionic unit can produce such an obvious response to electrical signals...

In other words, this is actually a neural link intermediary that can be directly controlled by living organisms!

Neural connection? Is there any neural connection?

No wonder Ceria wanted to give up on this project before——

This is indeed research that can both benefit humanity and lead to war!

Wu Xian, who is familiar with science fiction novels and various settings, knows that this technology, at best, can be a blessing for the disabled. It can promote the development of medicine and life sciences, and can also play an important role in engineering projects that require precision operations. crucial role;

And if you think about the worst, consider that this technology is likely to be the front-end technology of something.

If Ceria had also studied this thing in the original plot, it is estimated that the mechanical power armor Mr. Dafei likes is not the unmanned Gundam using Dorothy's transmitter, but the manned Gundam using Ceria's bionic unit!

At this time, Lapland also rarely praised:

"……it's beautiful."

"Thank you." Ceria said.

Even she would be a little happy when her experimental results were praised.

"It is because of you that I decided to continue the experiment of this project." Seria glanced at Lapland and said:

"As for its performance on the human body, although there are still many technical barriers to real nerve connection, it is regrettable that if you only pursue auxiliary functions, through certain modifications, Mcbu-10 can already It makes ordinary people feel like they have grown a third hand."

Lapland was startled, and then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth:

"You mean if I attached it to my staff, it would be able to use the machinery instead of their hands?"

Wu Xian also blinked and looked at Seria: "Huh?"

"Well, for example, you can allow a soldier who is using a jetpack to have both hands free to use a crossbow..."

Ceria casually gave a very mediocre example, and then said:

"Of course, this requires the cooperation of the Engineering Department. Currently, the planning for the formation of the Engineering Department is still on Kristen's desk. You can ask her."

"..."

After a moment of silence, looking at Lapland's surprised eyes, Ceria looked a little strange: "...What's wrong?"

Lapland blinked cutely and said curiously:

"Ceria, I thought you hated the use of your skills in combat."

This question also touched Wu Xian's heart. Wu Xian, who was staying on the calcium platform, looked at Seria with the same eyes.

Seria just nodded and then said:

"...Not all battles are meaningless. Moreover, Silver Wolf Security, as Rhine Life's only partner in safety, naturally has the right and obligation to assemble equipment with Rhein Life technology as its core."

The white-haired Ms. Vaifan paused and then said:

"What is more terrifying than allowing a meaningless battle to happen is to choose to escape out of fear after the battle begins."

Seria's eyes remained as usual, and it was obvious that she was no longer hesitant and confused.

This is of course great good news for Silver Wolf Security. While Zheniya was doing several more related experiments, Lapland and Seria chatted for a while about the results of Seria's project. sky.

Although Lapland could not be said to have a thorough understanding of these cutting-edge technologies, Ceria and Muir Seth, who was doing soy sauce, would patiently explain to Lapland, making Wu Xian feel that he had learned a lot.

"...By the way, Mr. Xiaoyin."

When the chat stopped for a moment, Ceria turned her head and looked at Wu Xian, who was holding her.

"Huh? What do you want from Shushu?" Wu Xian blinked.

Ceria showed a smile and said: "Mr. Xiaoyin also helped us a lot. Muir Seth strongly suggested that I give you a gift."

"Gift?"

Wu Xian looked at Muir Seth aside and saw that the elf girl covered her lips with her small hands, showing a shy expression as if a primary school student was hiding in the dark to observe the reaction of the person receiving the gift.

Just listen to Ceria continue to say: "Murseth noticed that your movements are usually limited by your size, and sometimes it is not very convenient."

"So, based on the Mcbu-10, I have prepared a mobility aid for you. I just completed the prototype version of it today."

Wu Xian blinked: "?"

……

While speaking, Ceria led Wu Xian to the corner of the laboratory, where there was indeed a white device slightly larger than a human head placed on the table.

Wu Xian also noticed this when he first entered the laboratory, but he didn't realize what this silver-white calcium structure was at the time -

But now if we take a closer look, we can see that this device, which is made entirely of calcium compounds, actually has a small groove as its core that just fits his size. There are several joint structures around the groove that hold Mcbu-10. Two mechanical legs are connected below the joint structure, and on the left and right sides are two calcium arms that look like two large tweezers!

"I'm super,——!"

At this moment, countless names of mechanical power armor flashed through Wu Xian's mind!

What rat wouldn't like a big robot like this?

Well, although it's not very big...

"But is this really a rat that I can sit in?"

Seeing this thing, Wu Xian felt like the whole rat was getting excited!

"Do you like it?" Mulseth chuckled, leaned forward and said to Wu Xian, "I begged Ceria for a long time before she agreed to make this thing for you!"

"It's a pity that Ceria's aesthetic sense is not good, and the things she made don't look good at all."

Celia: "..."

Ceria was speechless, and after a while she said:

"Because you are the owner of the beast, I guess you cannot use direct nerve connection... This device takes advantage of another characteristic of Mcbu-10. You need to directly touch your limbs to the Mcbu-10 in the joint structure to make it working normally."

"But it's also my first time to do this kind of thing. After all, this device is just a prototype, and there may be some other problems."

"Mr. Xiaoyin, you can give it a try first."

When Wu Xian heard this, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He jumped directly from Serea's calcium platform, aiming at the machine:

"Zhushu, I'll be spicy!"

Jumping to the top of the calcium device, Wu Xian carefully checked the location of the groove.

Although Seria's aesthetics are indeed not very good, her knowledge of bioengineering is still very good. The four positions of the groove that can touch the Mcbu-10 are exactly the positions where Wu Xian can easily put his limbs in. .

With excitement, Wu Xian tentatively put his left front paw in.

It seems that the Mcbu-10 in this device is different from what he saw on the test bench just now. When Wu Xian touched it, there was a subtle hard feeling.

But immediately, Mcbu-10 began to actively cling to Wu Xian's paws as if it were alive. Wu Xian couldn't help but tighten his paws a little harder.

This was a big deal. The mechanical arm on the left side of the groove suddenly began to swing very sharply, and with a bang, it hit the mechanical leg below the groove!

boom!

Under the tremendous force, the entire device tilted forward, and Wu Xian's entire rat was instantly thrown out!

Mulseth exclaimed: "Yeah!"

"—!"
