Body

"Is it just some of Lin Fan's joints that hurt?" Ke Wenbin looked at Lin Fan and asked.

"Yes, she usually suffers more pain in the back of her neck, the vertebrae in the middle of her shoulder blades, her lower back, and the joints of her arms and legs." Song Ren replied, as a masseur, he knew these pain locations very well.

"That's right." Ke Wenbin nodded. "The mecha is pierced through these joints."

"The mecha that goes out from the back of the neck wraps up the head to form a head armor. It goes out from the shoulder joint to form the shoulder armor, the back spine forms the breastplate, the wrist joint comes out to form the upper and lower arm armor, and the wrist forms the palm. Back.

The waist generates the waist and abdomen scale armor and the crotch outer armor, the knee joints generate the leg armor. What comes out of the ankle is the foot armor."

This is the reason for Lin Fan's joint pain.

Dr. Xiao was startled and went over to examine it carefully.

Not to mention damaged, the surface of the skin doesn't even have any red marks.

"Are you sure it was broken through the skin?" Doctor Xiao turned around and asked.

"OK." Yu Guangli couldn't believe it at first. Several people looked at it several times before confirming that they saw it correctly.

"But there was no blood. I don't know if the mecha was too sharp or the time was too short, and the blood didn't have time to flow out." Zhang Zhaojie added.

"Lin Fan, apart from joint pain, have you ever felt any other pain? For example, pain from muscle tearing?" Dr. Xiao asked again.

Lin Fan felt it for a while and shook his head: "No, it's just that the joint pain is severe."

"Then when you transformed, did your body feel any pain?" Xia Jing asked.

Lin Fan thought for a while, but it seemed that he didn't think so: "I didn't feel any pain in my body at that time, I just felt a special headache."

She told her how she felt when she transformed before.

"It's not what we thought." Yu Guangli scratched his head, "We thought that in addition to joints, muscles and skin would also feel pain."

"When you change back to human form, does the mecha also retract to its original position? Can't you see the wound at that time?" Wu Yi asked.

"It can be seen. We saw wounds, muscles, and even white bones through slow speed, but the wounds were not big and they closed and disappeared quickly." Zhang Zhaojie replied.

Even at slow speeds, you can't see this process at all at normal speeds. You can only see the smooth skin at the end, just like now.

"Didn't your joints hurt last time you transformed?" Li Chunhua didn't understand.

They experienced a total of 3 transformations.

The first time was when Pangu happened. At that time, everyone thought that Pangu was too heavy and Lin Fan's joints were damaged, so he felt pain.

The second time, I absorbed part of 818, causing the mecha to evolve and fall into a coma for a long time. But after I woke up, I was in good condition and was able to get out of bed without any pain.

The third time was today. The evolution was indeed successful, but nothing was done. The sleep period was very short, but the joints hurt.

"It should be that her evolved body has become larger and the burden on her joints has increased." Ke Wenbin speculated that she may have adapted to the previous transformations, so there was no obvious pain.

"We also speculate that Lin Fan's current mecha state is not complete." Xia Jing dropped another bomb next to him.

"Not a perfect body?" Jin Sichen frowned.

"Yes, if Lin Fan can absorb 818 to evolve, then the remaining 818 can theoretically become her evolutionary energy. But I don't know why, the transformation of Lin Fan by 818 is not completed at once, and it has to be divided into so many parts

times." Xia Jing didn't think too clearly.

"The first contact between 818 and Lin Fan was probably when she jumped into the river. At that time, many people jumped to save her. Was the process interrupted by too many interferences, so they were not fully absorbed?" Jin Sichen speculated.

"There should be physical limitations, right? Lin Fan's physique at that time couldn't carry too much energy. This evolution also shows that the current state of the mecha is almost the limit of what her physique can carry." Song Ren also had it.

My own speculation. "And at that time, her hand left 818, the person lost consciousness, and the transmission channel was disconnected."

"That's right." Xia Jing thought it made sense.

"In other words, the reason why the mecha is so much taller than Lin Fan is because the bones are stretched open after the transformation?" Dr. Xiao found it unbelievable. How could he still be able to move normally?

The previous mecha was more than 2 meters tall. Dr. Xiao once thought about what kind of principle could make a 1.7-meter person grow so much taller.

If the mecha is holding the bones open inside, it can be completely explained.

But, on the other hand, can bones, muscles, and nerves be stretched so much? The latest mecha is already 2.5 meters tall. In other words, the stretched part reaches 80 centimeters. What is the concept of this?

?

Lin Fan felt no pain at all, and she even felt more flexible than herself!

It now appears that her body does not appear to be stretched or damaged in any way.

So how exactly does this change happen?

"Hey... then Lin Fan is like this..." Zhang Zhaojie was too embarrassed to say anything.

"I know what you want to ask." Dr. Xiao also thought of it, "I can only say that from a biomedical perspective, all of Lin Fan's physical indicators are still human. There is no doubt about this."

"Her genetic sequence and cells are no different from those of normal people." Kuang Li said, "It is not ruled out that there are things that cannot be detected, but what can be detected shows that Lin Fan is indeed an Earthling."

"Why do you keep worrying about whether she is human?" After all, Jin Sichen is a member of the special agency. He has seen many unnatural phenomena and has no scientific concerns about Lin Fan's abnormality.

"We have gone through all the information about her since she was born. The last time John Woo came here, we also obtained the genetic specimens of her family members. Kuang Li has checked them all. The genetic sequence is complete and there are no problems at all."

Kuang Li nodded. He had told others about this in private. Because he was concerned about Lin Fan's personal feelings, he did not mention it in public at the meeting.

"Furthermore, what is your criterion for judging whether someone is a human being? Biological indicators? Or abilities that are different from ordinary people? If every person with special abilities has to trace back to the question of whether he is a human being, then what are we specializing in?

I just can’t work anymore.”

Jin Sichen almost wanted to slap his ignorant words in the faces of 800 people.

There are too many strange and weird people in the special agency. According to the public's definition, they are all inhuman beings. Many of them can even be found to have genetic problems.

Everyone was woken up by Jin Sichen's ridicule.

Yes! There is no point in worrying about whether Lin Fan is a human being or not.

Let’s not talk about whether we can find out or not. The point is that the mecha state they studied is not something that normal people can do.

In fact, there was no point in exploring this question the first day they knew that Lin Fan could transform into a mecha.

As long as Lin Fan's mecha can be normalized and controlled well, and bring them more research information, then the goal will be achieved!

I'm curious about someone's transformation, but after the transformation is over, I'm still trying to figure out if they're still a human being. Isn't this just taking advantage of someone else and acting like a good boy?

As long as Lin Fan is still Lin Fan and she can control the mecha proficiently, that's all! Why think so much!

"But where did this mecha come from?" Dr. Xiao quickly changed the subject. "I mean, I looked at the film last week carefully, and Kuang Li also checked it. Except for the needle-like thing on the top of his head, there was nothing else at all.

The presence of foreign objects.”

"No, she has a silver patch on her upper left second molar," Kuang Li said.

Dr. Xiao couldn't say that he was wrong, and added: "Yes, she had a cavity before. She should have had it filled many years ago. The patch material was made of silver. Apart from this, there are really no other foreign objects."

So where did those mechas come from? In the video, they came from Lin Fan's body, but there was nothing in his body!

A group of people fell into confusion again.

It's always like this. Every time I seem to make some progress, I'm stuck with another problem.

"Actually... I have a terrible idea." Wu Yi raised his hand weakly.

How terrible can a girl's thoughts be? Everyone waited for her to say it nonchalantly.

"I was thinking, after you see Lin Fan wrapped in a mecha, how can you confirm that there is a person in the mecha?" The more Wu Yi thought about it, the more frightened he became, "What if he turned into a mecha entirely without Lin Fan's body?

Is it only her consciousness that remains?"

After Wu Yi said this, everyone felt that this possibility was not impossible.

this……

Sure enough, it is scarier than having the human body covered with a layer of mecha equipment, and having the whole person turn into a steel mecha from the inside out.

"Can the machine that takes the film verify whether there is a human body in the mecha?" Zhang Zhaojie asked Dr. Xiao.

"Theoretically it's possible, but in practice it's not ideal." Dr. Xiao explained in front of everyone's gaze:

"The internal space of the CT machine and the NMR machine is too small, and the mecha cannot get in. Moreover, Lin Fan's transformation time cannot last that long. Besides, the machine may produce a magnetic field when it operates, and the material of the mecha has not yet been analyzed.

come out……"

"Isn't it okay to do a flat sweep?" Wu Yi asked.

"Plain scan is okay, but it has limitations. Its shooting area is too small. Think about the X-rays you have taken." Dr. Xiao still shook his head.

"After Lin Fan transformed, she was able to control her body smoothly and freeze. One or two shots are already good. If you want to take a complete picture of her body, it will take many times. Do you want her precious transformation time to be wasted in X-rays again and again?"

In this way, it is indeed uneconomical.

In a short period of time, Lin Fan's transformation time should not exceed 10 seconds. Transforming countless times just to take a full-body X-ray is indeed a waste.

With this time, data collection was enough for them to do several modeling exercises.

"Then there's nothing we can do?" Zhang Zhaojie turned around and looked around.

"I'll ask Deputy Director Xie later. He knows about other equipment in the institute and may have some ideas," Yu Guangli said.

We have no other choice but to wait for news.

No matter how much there was, there was nothing much to say, and it was hard to disturb Lin Fan too much, so everyone retreated.
