"If the lord is in a good mood, a thug may be fine no matter what he does. But maybe he will be killed by the lord just after he loses his asylum?"
The mayor nodded: "The lord may announce that the civilized asylum of our town will be temporarily revoked. We as a 'group' are declared illegal."
Xiang Shan was stunned: "So, what will happen..."
Yuki seems to have mentioned that there are thugs in the wilderness...
"Gangs in the wilderness." The mayor sighed heavily: "Gangs generally dare not invade sheltered towns. But occasionally there will be small towns whose protection is revoked. At this time, the residents of the town go to other settlements
, they can still retain their 'personal asylum', but during this period, as long as they are still in this settlement, they are regarded as 'unprotected'. The gangsters can plunder at will..."
Xiangshan probably understood that the so-called "protection of civilization" is actually divided into two parts. One is the so-called "protection of the group", that is, the "safe zone", and the other is the "protection of individuals", that is, "good people".
Asylum is absolutely effective only when "good people" are in the "safe zone". Otherwise, whether the asylum is effective depends on the mood of the "asylor".
In this era, everyone who has not violated the "Dyson Principle" is considered a "good citizen" by default. And those who lose their asylum can also enter the "safe zone" - as long as they are not afraid of being beaten to death.
Xiangshan was very surprised: "Then why not go to other settlements?"
"First of all, the crop production in other settlements is limited and cannot feed everyone. If the residents of other towns refuse us to stay there... then they can evict us in the name of 'defending their own property.'"
"On the way to other settlements, you may be attacked by thugs." The mayor shook his head: "There are surveillance lines in the village, and under normal circumstances gangsters would not dare to destroy the lines. That would damage the lord's reputation and lose his face.
However, if we deviate from the main road and go to other settlements... they can use emp to make us all disappear without anyone noticing."
Xiangshan only felt cold, even though he no longer had the nerve to sense temperature.
From the mayor's words, he learned two things.
First, this era is really chaotic.
Second, anyone's sensory prosthesis may become the eyes of a superior person.
Otherwise, there is no need to specifically say "use emp".
It's such a terrible time...
The mayor sighed: "If we can resist, we want to resist as much as possible. Shan, when the thugs attack, will you help us?"
Looking at the mayor's expression, Xiangshan once again felt a sense of urgency.
It was different from the sense of oppression that Xiangshan had when he recalled "Yawgmoth". This was a sense of imminent crisis.
"Time is running out." Xiang Shan said to himself: "We must catch up."
After the mayor left, Xiangshan called Yuki back.
The next thing to do is what Yuki is interested in.
Xiangshan plans to turn that dog-shaped prosthetic body into parts of his new prosthetic body.
When taking out the spine, Xiangshan had already started with the wound on the chest of the canine prosthetic and cut open the canine prosthetic. The wound just penetrated the creature buried in the chest behind the face that disgusted Xiangshan.
brain.
This biological brain is located within a brain-machine barrier composed of metal-based proteins, with several nutrient lines and an independent oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange pump directly connected to it. Directly above the brain is a heavily modified cerebellum. The cerebellum is almost
It's what "hangs" on the spine.
Using the doctor's knife, he quickly peeled off the layer of fur from the dog's body.
"Wow..." Yuki on the side made a surprised sound.
Under the fur, it was not the iron body as imagined, but some kind of light blue translucent muscle.
Yes, it is really muscle. Countless translucent fibers are stacked together. Countless dischargers are buried in the muscles, and dischargers are connected to both ends of each fiber. This seems to be some kind of polymer shape memory material.
After charging, it will quickly curl up, like a real muscle.
It's really beautiful.
Xiangshan, on the other hand, focused on the fur in his hand.
Of course, this is not real animal skin. Even if Xiangshan adjusted his eyes to the level of a light microscope, he could not see structures such as sweat glands and hair follicles. The main component of this layer of fur seems to be some kind of polymer material similar to silicone.
, has a certain degree of toughness, at least Xiangshan cannot tear it open simply by relying on his arm strength.
But no matter how breathable the material itself is, once a layer of "fuzz" is created on the surface, there is no "heat dissipation" at all.
Xiang Shan can only express his confusion about this practice of exchanging "performance" for appearance.
If Will Granddog didn't have this layer of skin, then he might not need to open such a large air inlet, and naturally he wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity.
"Xiang Shan..." Yuki pulled Xiang Shan's arm.
Xiang Shan shook his head: "When there are outsiders around, you can call me whatever you want. But when there are only two of us, remember to call me 'Master'. This is the rule of knights in the world."
"Oh, Master..." Yuki curled his lips: "How can such...such an accessory be transferred to your body?"
He looked at Xiang Shan's legs. They were still two sticks made of solid iron pillars.
It seems completely incompatible with the muscles that look like industrial works of art.
"If I read it correctly, each fiber of this electronic muscle can be disassembled individually. In this way, even if it is damaged, it can be quickly replaced..." Xiangshan poked a few times on the discharger with a magnetic screwdriver.
I quickly opened the prosthesis and fiddled with it a few more times. The discharger and surrounding fibers naturally fell off.
Xiangshan first put the discharger aside: "Well, it looks like this... I'm quite lucky."
Except for a muscle in the chest that was penetrated by an electric shock rod and all the fibers in it were no longer usable, all the muscle fibers were intact.
Xiangshan returned his gaze to the penetrating wound in his chest. When he took out the spine, the brain and cerebellum were completely necrotic. He planned to put this thing aside for the time being.
However, Yuki pointed out that according to regulations, this organic component must be taken to the farmland in the town to recycle the organic component.
Mingshan is not very accustomed to this view of "human brains as resources". But from the perspective of "the best interests of society", there is nothing wrong with the morality Yuki is familiar with. He nodded and indicated that Yuki can follow
The rules here deal with that brain.
Yuki was watching his master dismember the prosthetic body. He saw it so freshly that he couldn't bear to leave. He put the brain on the table for the time being.
Along with the brain, there were three chips and several storage devices.
Among the three chips, two are used to drive the prosthesis. One of them is set up to prevent the other from malfunctioning or bugs. The other is specially used to convert brain-computer signals to allow the biological brain to communicate with each other.
The ability to control the body is stronger.
The storage disk may contain things like martial arts algorithms and empirical convolution.
That's right, the martial arts algorithm.
The transmission speed of human nerve signals varies from one meter per second to one hundred meters per second. This depends on the specific nerve fibers - the specific values of different nerve fibers are different. In addition, the bioelectrical signals inside the nerve cells are easy to say.
The chemical signals between nerve cells can really only be described as "turtle speed".
In many cases, the speed of response depends entirely on how many times a signal needs to be circulated between neurons.
But in any case, compared with the electrical signals in the metal wires that are almost at the speed of light, the neural signals are no different from "almost motionless".
It is impossible for human consciousness to really keep up with the movements of the prosthetic body. The only way is to disassemble the signal from the prosthetic body into the shortest data, turn it into the simplest stimulus and transmit it to the human brain, and then the human brain makes similar low-level actions.
Instinct reaction - this is how you can keep up with modern high-strength prosthetics.
However, the Turing machine can do things that the Turing machine can never do, so the human brain will continue to exist in the body of the warrior.
In other words, "Martial Arts" was designed this way from the beginning.
Writing "instinct programs" that "adapt" martial arts algorithms in the biological brain is what a warrior must do - and even to a certain extent, this determines the height a warrior can achieve.
Behind the brain is a battery. This one is much more advanced than the garbage Xiangshan used before. The power storage is at least fifty times that of that garbage. It can indeed support a period of high-intensity combat.
Then, inside this dog's abdominal cavity, there is actually an... internal combustion engine?
Xiang Shan found a piece of iron wire and dipped it in the remaining liquid from the internal combustion engine. He now had no sense of smell or taste, so he first placed the iron wire under a small piece of iron sheet, and then tried to create a little electric spark.
The light blue flames flashed away. Xiangshan adjusted the lens with his prosthetic eye and found that there were a few tiny droplets of water on the iron sheet.
ethanol.
This guy actually uses ethanol fuel.
"This is..." Xiangshan thought for a moment, and then carefully observed the internal mechanical structure of the dog-shaped prosthetic body.
"Is it connected to the mouth? When the battery output is insufficient, the internal combustion engine is used to increase the output..."
Although the energy conversion rate of a heat engine is very low compared to a battery with stable output, its explosive power is extremely strong.
This is used to increase explosive power under the premise that the maximum power of the battery is constant.
After counting his loot, Xiangshan picked up the small repair terminal he borrowed from the doctor.
Next, comes the main event.
About chip processing.
"Small repair terminal", also called "small medical terminal", is a specialized smart terminal. Its front looks very much like a 21st century smartphone, but it is much thicker. Its back is
It is a special structure composed of 1024*1024 metal rods. Press it gently, and an interface will appear on it that fits the pressing object.
This thing can read most modern common chips and storage systems. Even ancient disks can be read.
Xiangshan had already dismantled the terminal in advance. He temporarily removed the network card inside, and then stuck a magnet in an area that would not interfere with the operation of the terminal itself to ensure that it would not be spied on to the greatest extent possible.
Then, he removed a driver chip and pressed it on the back of the terminal. The plane formed by the metal rod immediately sunk down, and the interface on the chip was in natural contact with the top of the metal rod, as if there was a plug-in socket behind the terminal.
Same as the slot.
Soon, the data was read out.
"Um?"
If Xiang Shan still had eyebrows, he would be frowning.
