Chapter 43: Still a Human?

It turns out that the most unlucky person recently is Nobunaga. This guy actually plans to expand the city in the Indonesian occupation zone. It's impossible for me to let him build the city safely. As for the candidates to make trouble... aren't they ready-made?

"Calliobi, take your sisters, it's time to play."

"Is there a robbery target so soon?" Calliope asked me excitedly.

"Of course. Our guild is always very busy."

"Tell me who the target is? How many manpower do we have? What terrain? What is the strength of the opponent? What equipment is used?...What...?..."

I suspect that Calliope is a professional robber in reality. This girl is simply a professional at this. She is very familiar with all kinds of things and has a lot of problems. When have we conducted such a thorough investigation before? Every time you attack someone, it's basically ok to figure out the balance of power between the two sides and the other side's special methods. It's rare to check in such detail. Especially in a large-scale war, where dozens of cities have to be wiped out at a time, how can there be so much time to conduct reconnaissance one by one?

"Calliobi. Calm down first. We have just decided to take action. We haven't figured out how to act yet. How about giving us some time?"

"Do you want my help? I used to be a first-rate expert in intelligence."

"No need for the time being. You may not be able to adapt to our guild's working style for a while, so it's better to let our people handle it first."

"Then I have to watch from the side. Just watch it a few more times. I can do it by myself in the future."

I hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be okay to let her have access to some confidential information. Besides, she had to work for me, so I couldn't hide everything from her, otherwise it would break the relationship between us. After nodding, I asked Calliope to take her team and follow me. At the same time, he notified Ying and Hongyue that something had to be done.

Summon the entire elite team of our guild to teleport to Sentinel City in Indonesia. The land we occupied after Indonesia was destroyed is considered to be within China's national border, so we can use the general domestic teleportation array to teleport back and forth. Sentinel City was expanded from the original Indonesian city of Mataram. The entire Lombok island where the city is now located has been expanded into city limits. Not far to the east of this island is Sumbawa Island, which is much larger than Lombok and has two cities on it. In the last battle against Indonesia, this area was occupied by the Americans, but was later sold to the Japanese. The new city that Ghost Hand Nobunaga is going to build this time is located on this island, just next to our Sentinel City. It would be hilarious if this city was built. You can play artillery battle every day on the walls of the two cities.

There are cyclones in this place. The east wind blows in the morning, the west wind blows in the afternoon, and it depends on the season at night. In the northern hemisphere, the south wind blows at night in winter, and in the northern hemisphere, the north wind blows at night in summer. There is no wind at night in spring and autumn. This kind of cyclone will interfere with the firing range of the artillery, so there is a favorable wind on Sumbawa Island from six o'clock in the morning to before twelve o'clock every day. If the city is built, the Japanese will have six hours to bombard our Lombok Island every morning. There will be no wind during lunch time, so everyone can take a rest. There will be strong westerly winds from one o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening. Our Lombok can bombard the Japanese's Sumbawa. Of course I don't want to see this situation, so I can't let the Japanese build this city.

The city is still under construction. In order to ensure that the construction will not be suppressed by us during this period, Xiaorb specially invited a team of mages from abroad to come back. Relying on large-scale battlefield magic to forcefully shield this strong wind prevents us from bombarding their unbuilt cities. As for using the fleet to 'harass' me, I won't do this kind of loss-making business! Battleships don’t cost money? I don't intend to land on the beach, and shooting at the coastal defense batteries is purely foolish.

The target of this robbery was mainly the enemy's material storage yard. There were quite a lot of materials for building the city, and they were all piled in the rb city on the other side of Sumbawa Island. Because this Sumbawa Island is long and narrow, it is not within our fire coverage. With the help of Calliope's professional skills, this robbery should be easier to complete. After all, this is just a small island and the Japanese can't gather too many troops here. As long as they can destroy the teleportation array, they basically don't have to worry about enemy reinforcements.

All the plans went smoothly, but just when we 'touched' the island and were about to sneak into the city, a system prompt suddenly sounded in my mind. "Attention, the emergency call mode is activated and will be forced to exit after ten seconds."

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment. Hurry up and explain the phantom of my physical condition. "You take charge of the body. When I'm not around, Ling will take charge of it for me." After explaining the phantom, I quickly said to Hongyue: "Hongyue, someone pressed my command to call Ling. You can take command for me here." Almost. Just after I finished speaking, the screen suddenly went black and I was forced to quit.

The emergency call function is a way for outsiders to wake up players who are playing the game. Taking the helmet directly has a one-in-a-million chance of causing semi-permanent nerve trauma, so a forced retreat button was installed. Just tap on someone in the game to get a prompt and exit voluntarily. If you press and hold, you will be forced to exit after ten seconds. My current situation is to force quit.

After I regained control, I suddenly felt my body was very strange. First of all, I couldn't feel the existence of my body. All the sense of touch in the arms and limbs was gone, and no information could be received. In addition to the sense of touch, I also discovered that my eyesight was no longer visible. It's not the kind of visual impairment caused by darkness, but there is no visual signal at all. Hearing-wise as well as sight-wise, I couldn't hear anything. In my current physical condition, the sound of my heartbeat can be amplified to the sound of a drum. How could I be completely inaudible? In any case, all five of my senses failed. I lost control of my body. I couldn't even feel anything, let alone move.

Just when I was extremely anxious, suddenly a red bright spot appeared in front of me, and then the bright spot quickly extended to both sides into a bright line, and then the bright line expanded up and down to display a picture. My vision finally recovered, but the problem was that something felt wrong. Wait, why am I in mid-air?

I found that my line of sight was actually five or six meters above the ground. There were a large group of staff busy below, and many of them were still looking at me. There was a young researcher talking to a few old researchers. It looked like they were arguing, but I couldn't hear anything. The young man kept gesticulating towards me. At the same time, he shouted to the old researchers with a red face.

I tried to move my eyes, but it turned out that these were all in vain. I couldn't move at all, or even move my eyes, because I couldn't feel the existence of my eyes at all.

The young researcher directed a group of people to push a squad car over. This thing is about the size of a bedside table and looks like a medicine cart used in hospitals. There is an oblong hemisphere embedded on the top of this cart. It looks very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. There are many wires extending from the underside of the cart. They were scattered all over the room, but since I couldn't move my eyes, I couldn't see where they all connected.

The young man took a microphone from another person who ran over in a hurry, then aligned the microphone's plug with a small hole in the hemisphere and inserted it. I suddenly heard a popping sound, as if someone blew a breath into my ear, but it was just a sound, not the itchy feeling of having wind in my ears.

The young man patted the microphone, and the loud thumping sound made my head spin. "Wow. Be gentle!" I couldn't help shouting.

Everyone in the room stopped at the same time and looked at me. The young man picked up the microphone excitedly. "Haha, you can finally hear it. These idiots, I said you can input the land directly! They don't believe it!"

"Hey, what happened? Also, please speak softly and don't get so close to the microphone, it will blow your ears!"

"Oh! Sorry!" He quickly took the microphone a little further away. "Here's the thing. Didn't you just undergo brain independence modification?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"There is indeed something wrong." The young man said: "A few days ago we suddenly discovered that your body functions began to fail and you were in a state of death. Fortunately, your electronic brain can operate independently, so we carried out emergency treatment for you. Your electronic brain has been taken out. Because you are still connected to the game, you can't feel it."

"Aren't you going to tell me that our bodies are dead?"

"Of course not." The young man said, "That's right. Our research has found that the main cause of body failure lies in the rh16 position...!"

"Stop it. It's too technical for me to understand. Tell me something more straightforward."

"To put it simply, the microcurrent balance in the brain is destroyed, and the body enters a state of suspended animation similar to that of a vegetative state. Over time, the cells will automatically die."

"What should I do? How is my body doing now? And what's going on with me now? Why can't I control my vision and other organs?"

The young man laughed, and then patted the oval hemisphere in front of him. "Haha, stop thinking about it. How can you control it if you don't have anything? In addition, what you see now is actually from the monitor on the roof. The ball next to me is your brain. So You are actually here, the one above is just an illusion caused by the position of your gaze. How about it? It feels weird to be able to see yourself directly in the line of sight, right?"

I'm dizzy. After working on it for a long time, the thing on the cart is my electronic brain. The outer layer is a reinforced metal shell. What’s wrapped inside is my brain. The lines below should connect my brainwave signals to these instruments. I said that I feel that my position is so high. It turns out that this is the signal transmitted to my brain from the monitor on the ceiling, which is why the picture position appears so high.

"You haven't told me how my health is? Also, how are my wife and my men doing?"

"Don't worry, they are all fine. At present, they have all been extracted like you, and their bodies have been temporarily frozen. We have been working hard for the past two days, and finally found a solution, but just in case, We need you to cooperate with us in doing some experiments."

"What experiment?"

The young man clapped his hands, and a group of researchers pushed over a fixed frame. I immediately recognized the body tied to the frame as my own. "How is this going?"

"That's right. Because your body's micro-current is out of balance, we helped you artificially implant some electronic components. However, considering many factors, we simply did it more thoroughly and directly implanted the second-generation electricity that is still in the experiment. The system is installed on your body. Although your weight has increased by 30%, your ability has increased by more than 300%, so it is still very cost-effective."

"Hey, what did you change me into?"

"You can probably feel this only after you go in. Now listen to me." He pointed to something similar to a thermos bottle placed on the table next to him. "This is a wireless terminal access device. I heard that your electronic brain has unlimited access capabilities, so you connect to that thing first, so that you can continue to exchange opinions with us when we do the transplant."

"Okay." I focused my attention on that thing, and quickly sensed the access radio frequency range of that thing, and then simulated the corresponding signal value. The green light on the device suddenly jumped to life.

The young man comes back into the frame holding a brochure. But after seeing the green light, he was surprised and said: "I haven't given you the frequency data yet? How did you get in?"

"It's nothing. Longyuan's wireless equipment has protected signals. As long as you find an area that is not blocked, you must be using the band."

"Then I will do the transplant for you now. If you feel anything, please tell me immediately. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. My name is Qingtian. I was transferred from the Fourth Special Zone."

"OK."

Qingtian unplugged the microphone that was plugged into my electronic computer, and then began to pull out the circuits connected to the bottom of my electronic computer one by one. However, since I still maintain a wireless connection with the terminal, the picture and sound are still there. My body was pushed to the center of the painting, and the transplant was done in a standing position. Qingtian picked up something and touched it on the back of my neck. Then my head suddenly dropped forward and was actually disconnected from my neck. But it's not completely broken. The front of the neck is still connected, but the back is opened, and the back of the head is also fully expanded. It turns out that the head of this body is completely empty, a big cavity. From here you can also see the inner composite wall and some contact points.

A researcher wearing sterile gloves picked up my electronic brain from the trolley, then came behind my body and carefully put the electronic brain in with Qingtian. Because my brain has been connected to the shell of the electronic brain, it is equivalent to making a large-scale integrated circuit in the computer chip. Now the work of connecting the electronic brain and the body is actually just equivalent to 'plugging' the chip. On the computer motherboard, it is not a very complicated job at all.

After the electronic brain was in place, they closed the shell behind the head on the body, and then straightened my head. I could hear the locking mechanism click into place, presumably to complete the connection. The native solution was carefully dripped onto the muscle tissue outside the body. The wound quickly heals into one piece at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the scar will not be visible after a few days.

Qingtian made an OK gesture to the camera. "Okay, cut off your connection with the terminal. Once your consciousness is restored, your body will automatically detect your consciousness, and you should be able to regain control of your body."

"Understood."

I cut off the connection to the terminal, and all sensory signals disappeared. After waiting for about two seconds, a male voice with an echo sounded in my mind. "Main program detects consciousness signal. Start synchronization."

The voice paused for two seconds. I suddenly saw a green picture, not the hall just now. It is a three-dimensional information bar. The sound returned again. "Synchronization is completed, the signal matches well, the completion degree is 100%, and the system starts self-test."

"Main power system on." The voice stopped for half a second. "The status is normal, and the current energy remaining is 9999."

"Neural network detection." A huge pain came, but it disappeared in less than a second. "intact."

"Visual system starts testing." My vision recovered in an instant. In front of me was Sunny, who was talking expectantly, but the three-dimensional charts I just saw were still hanging in my sight in a translucent form. After the sight was restored, the focal length actually automatically adjusted from zooming in to zooming out, and then returned to the normal focal length. Then the color changed to black and white, then jumped to green, then pure blue, and then again. It jumped up and down several times in single colors, and finally returned to the normal color world. The voice sounded again. "There are no abnormalities in the vision system, the zoom device is in good condition, the spectrum analyzer is in good condition, and the assistive vision device is in good condition."

"Auditory system turn-on test."

"What's wrong with you? Are you talking? Don't make us anxious!" As soon as I regained my hearing, I heard a barrage of questions from Sunny Sky, but the voice was getting louder and softer, constantly adjusting, and getting thicker and louder. will become thinner.

The beep sounded again. "The volume setting is complete, the pickup equipment is in good condition, the range analyzer is in good condition, the crossover is in good condition, and the resonance sensor is in good condition."

"Start the articulator test."

As soon as I heard it, I knew that I could speak, but when I opened my mouth, the sound was wrong. "Ah... ah... ah ah... ah ah...?" Not only did the sound not have the correct frequency, but the volume was also messy, rising and falling.

"The volume test is normal, the multi-range test is normal, the full frequency test is normal, and the tuner is normal."

"I can finally speak." As soon as the sound test ended, the voice became completely normal.

Qingtian said excitedly: "How do you feel? How is the effect?"

"I can't move yet, how do I know the effect? ​​Also, what kind of broken system is this? Why is there a self-test? I know this is my body, but I didn't know that I thought it was a large computer startup test! You are not putting Have I transformed into a robot?"

"Where are you talking about?" Qingtian quickly explained, but my self-examination is still going on and it seems it will take some time to complete. I'll listen to Qingtian's explanation first. Qing Tian danced and introduced: "Actually, there are no all-metal parts in your body. You can pass through the airport security equipment without any problem. As I said just now, your body is equipped with a second-generation power system, or a biological system. Electrical system. Various devices in the human electrical age use nothing more than the four major aspects of electromagnetic effect, electric energy effect, electrochemical reaction and radio wave effect. No matter what kind of equipment it is, it will never exceed the scope of the four major effects. Electric lights are typical Electrical energy effect equipment converts electrical energy into heat energy and light energy. Electric motors are electromagnetic effects, electroplating tanks are electrochemical reactions, and wireless devices are radio wave effects. Anyway, any electrical equipment is within the scope of these four major effects, but the complexity is different."

"what about me?"

"Your body also has these four major effects, but the implementation methods are different. For example, the electric energy effect. When current passes through a conductor, the conductor will glow or heat. For example, electric heating wire is a typical heating effect, while rare gas lamps are The electro-optical effect used is the conversion of electrical energy. Since certain rare gases can emit light when electrified, the photothermal effect does not necessarily have to be completed by metal parts. We have installed heating and luminous equipment in your muscles and bones that can replace metal .”

"Glow? Do you think I am a firefly?"

"Don't get me wrong, your body cannot emit light. Luminous materials are only used in a few specific functional organs, such as your eyes."

"What? My eyes glow?"

"That's right. We have set up a bio-light generator inside, which is inspired by deep-sea fish. However, the light you emit is stronger than theirs, and it can be emitted in a direction. This function mainly provides you with the ability to focus your eyes. Your The eye can 'shoot' a low-power beam, which can provide direct beam guidance for laser-guided weapons. It is equivalent to installing a laser guidance beacon into your eye."

I said guiltily: "Fortunately, it is invisible to light, otherwise it would really be a monster. Two light bulbs would light up in its eyes at night, which would definitely scare people to death."

Qingtian smiled and said: "Don't worry, normal people can't see the light beam in this band."
