Chapter 616 The Ship of Theseus
Leal replaced his entire body, replacing his naturally designed nervous system with state-of-the-art neural implants, and cutting out all the functions he had little use for, leaving room for his brain to overclock.
For example, the digestive system needs to completely remove the stomach and intestinal tract, and replace it with a high-energy drink storage bag that is only opened and used in emergencies. It usually relies on the nutrient solution stored in the wheelchair to directly supply the brain. As for other limbs, it also relies on the wheelchair for supply. Electricity or bioenergy.
But in reality, as a character who places less emphasis on physical combat, Leal retains little of the motor function of his limbs, instead turning them into sophisticated tool bases directly connected to the brain.
All it takes is electricity.
Another example is his endocrine system: As a modified human with only the original brain left, the existence of growth-regulating hormones, emotion-control-related hormones and other regulatory hormones have become less meaningful, and only the functions of metabolism and brain function are retained. Enhanced hormones, and these hormone-secreting glands, will also be controlled directly by neural implants, rather than using instinct.
The immune system, complex motor systems, sensory systems, etc. can also be simplified a lot, so that some areas of the brain that are used to support passive body operations can be completely liberated, and cranial nerve implants can be used to integrate them into actively deployed computing power. , further squeezing the brain’s computing power.
It also concentrates the effects of the lizard serum, extending Lille's overall cell lifespan.
As shown in the specific data, Lear's brain-machine overclocking function can be used more times and is stronger.
The price is that he no longer has many parts of his original body. If a human were to undergo such an extreme surgery, the difference of becoming a living computer could easily drive a person crazy.
[Heart of Evolution: The sense of emptiness and gap caused by complete prostheticization has been eliminated. 】
[Heart of Evolution: Please note that your body is no longer able to secrete the hormones necessary to produce some emotions, which will inevitably have an impact on your thinking. 】
[Heart of Evolution: But this will not affect your thinking, your thinking will be clearer. 】
Lear looked at his arm - or a base for equipping a multifunctional knife head. It took tens of millions of years of human evolution to perfect the "grasp" function, allowing modern humans to learn to make and use tools. , completely removed from Leal's brain.
The "mod" for this skill has been deleted. This drastic change can cause serious mental problems, so the cyber modulator will reprogram the function corresponding to the "grasp" skill in this case. , when people have the idea of grasping, another program is triggered to drive another prosthetic body——
In this way, although the change process is still radical, it is at least a lot safer. Over time, the chance of adapting to this change is not small.
Hackers will also temporarily lose this feeling during a short deep dive, but soon they will be able to master the Ihara-Prague protocol, start to make up codes and programs corresponding to their own body movements, and begin to adapt to cyberspace life, but all this , all based on native perception.
And if you dive deep for too long, it is easy for hackers to suffer from sensory imbalance and mental problems.
But Lille did not adopt these plans. He actually deleted this function, and there were many more similar functions that he deleted.
The vacant space in the brain is converted into pure computing power, allowing it to simply perform calculations like an AI.
[Muramasa: You can't go back, your brain function has been permanently changed. 】
[Muramasa: People think that slowly replacing limbs is the ship of Theseus, but their brains never change, and you, you have changed. 】
[Muramasa: Do you still think you are human? 】
[Muramasa: You are like an AI. The living organism is a failure. Just like us, you define success with your own hands. 】
Lear shook his head, and he even thought he could hear the sound of the artificial muscles below his head.
He was the first to propose the human lizard cell prosthetic body, but he could not use that kind of prosthetic body. Instead, he had to use the artificial muscle prosthetic body from the cyberpunk world.
However, as Matt becomes famous and opens up the market, it is estimated that many people will soon be able to use this kind of prosthetic body.
[Lille: I am not a human being, are you a human being? Why are you always chirping? 】
[Muramasa: Because I know more than you, you.]
[Lille: I’m banning you. 】
Leal turned off Muramasa's feedback and let his data body disappear before his eyes.
After finishing all this, Lille took a look at the cut body tissue in the trash can:
After these body tissues are separated from the body, they begin to rot and decay visibly to the naked eye, just like bread attached to mold, whose 30-day decay process is shortened to one day.
Once his body is freed from the lizard serum, it will decay like this.
It will be replaced by a brand-new customized full-body prosthetic body, which has even been overwritten from the bottom-level functional code of the organism. It has complete functions and no burdens. All computing power will be mobilized to what he needs in a purposeful, reasonable and efficient manner. place.
The evolution of living organisms has failed somewhat in comparison.
Lille thought as he pushed the trolley out of the operating room: This operation took a full 30 hours, and he completed two sets of unique full-body prosthetic surgeries on bodies from two worlds, taking into account completely different needs and conditions.
If there is any difference between him and Adam Heavy Hammer in terms of prosthetics, it is that he still retains one original eye and a face that has not changed much.
Bang.
Lille opened the door: "Done."
V was lying on the sofa eating snacks, with blue light flashing in his eyes. He was obviously watching the game and checking the situation of Luxor Sports Academy.
V saw that Lille walked in like a human being and left the operating room like a human being. The stupid monkey who came to his mouth suddenly stopped in the air:
"Wow. Such a big change? It's worthy of being a little kid, almost"
Squeak!
Before the voice fell, a black and red lightning virtual image struck her brain-computer interface as accurately as a lightning triggered by a lightning rod!
The greeting that was just on her lips was instantly replaced by a chaotic sound. V's body couldn't stop shaking and fell off the sofa on the spot!
Snap——
Two mechanical arms stretched out from the wheelchair, directly controlling her body and holding her in the air.
Jack, who was sleeping on another sofa, jumped up suddenly: "What's going on!"
"Nothing." Lille looked very calm, and countless mechanical arms popped out from his two arms, quickly and accurately inserting electrodes into V's body.
But Jack felt that Lille looked very cruel at this moment
He felt that Lille was like a good brother who was a little old-fashioned, but actually a little energetic and down-to-earth to get along with.
But now, only the old-fashioned was left--
Young people would shout that they would kill the whole family and then angrily bring knives to the door; but the old man he felt would only droop his eyelids, and the enemy would disappear from the world quietly.
Just like dust decomposes in the air and eventually scatters.
Someone touched his bad luck.
Jack just felt that the artificial eye was a little unstable.
But that's not what the hackers saw.
What the hackers saw was Dogtown, this complex and chaotic shit cyberspace suddenly collapsed--
Some kind of violent program was tearing and overclocking all the signal sources that stood in the way.
