Chapter 499 Chapter 496 Technical Barriers

Bai Moji is the spokesperson of "Mengwu Experience", so she must be a Pioneer VIP user. Execution puppets, dream mist experience, the latest personal defense weapons...the first-try-first-use qualifications for a series of products have made Pioneer VIP a sought-after item on the market. Many people are trying various ways to obtain this qualification, including Spend hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of euros to buy it. But some people don’t care about it after they qualify, or even just throw it away.

This person is talking about Zhuang Xuteng, who has changed his identity.

The qualification of Pioneer VIP is bound to the name Zhuang Xuteng, and the execution puppets obtained are doing farm work in the protein insect field! Later, the Pioneer VIP project team sent several emails and text messages to Zhuang Xuteng, informing him that he was qualified to purchase a new generation of personal defense weapons. But at this time, Zhuang Xuteng encountered the Colonel Taft incident, was hospitalized and had his name changed, so he wasted this qualification.

While protecting Zhuang Feifei, he obtained two shotguns and some bullets from the gangsters of the Canghuo Gang, and killed three cars of them. Later, he discovered that the shotguns owned by the Canghuo gang were exactly the same type of gun that could be purchased with Pioneer VIP qualifications. He was just not sure how the Canghuo Gang obtained these weapons. Did they have the Vanguard VIP purchase qualifications themselves, or did they snatch them from someone with such qualifications. Of course, there is a more dangerous possibility: Companies are already upgrading gang firepower, which will make the situation on the streets more dangerous and force everyone to consider buying a gun to protect themselves.

In addition to shotguns, concealed pistols and semi-automatic rifles that can shoot continuously have also begun to appear on the market. In addition to being available through Pioneer VIP, it is also very possible to buy such weapons directly by waving money into the black market. These chemical energy-propelled weapons are not as easy to carry as the shadow gun ring, nor can they track corners, and there is no obvious breakthrough in the power of a single shot, but they can fire continuously without consuming the user's physical strength and energy, and will not cause shadow side effects. They are not picky about the user's physique, which has allowed them to quickly receive a lot of praise and have the momentum to fully occupy the market.

This kind of weapon first appeared in the hands of gangs. The first people affected were mercenaries. The mercenaries who originally wanted to use the PCPD's counterattack to gain victory suffered one after another from chemical weapons when facing gangs. The gangsters don't need any clever tactics. They just need to gather a few shotguns and blast them randomly, which can erase the generally considered technical advantage of mercenaries.

Many mercenaries suffered losses, and some mercenary commissions were ruined, but Lucy and Zhuang Xuteng were lucky enough to avoid this setback. It’s not that they don’t want to deal with the gang. Many plans have been made to attack the Canghuo Gang’s warehouses, treasury and important figures. But Lazio was unfortunately finished at this time... Lucy devoted all her energy to digging and Taking over Lazio's inheritance is likely to be a big treasury, and of course there will be no extra energy to take care of the affairs of the Canghuo Gang.

The preparation work done before could not be wasted, so Lucy packaged the intelligence and battle plan and sold them at a discount, which was considered to be a bit of money back. When other middlemen deal with gangs, it has nothing to do with Lucy whether they make money or lose money. She only needs to ensure that her information is correct.

"Old friend Lucy, anyway, you are busy with Lazio's funeral affairs and will not take any other actions. Wouldn't it be better to let me borrow Scarecrow Neck?" During this period, several intermediaries said to Lucy: "We don't want to take any other action." Give him less money and he will be put to good use.”

"It's not that I stopped him, but he has been inactive for the past half to a month. Why? I can only reveal so much about the implant surgery." Lucy declined all such invitations, which made the mercenaries Lost one of the most experienced generals facing shotgun.

In fact, Zhuang Xuteng did not undergo implant surgery, at least he did not need to rest for half a month to a month. It was Nightingale who performed the surgery. She was going to install the Cranosaurus intelligence spy implant. The installation of cranial implants is a major operation, and it often takes 36 to 48 hours to remove and install them. This is assuming that everything goes well during the operation. Since the brain nerves are very sensitive, fragile and complex, postoperative observation and recovery will also take a long time. Half a month is definitely not enough, and one month can only be considered barely enough.

The two sisters only had one set of implants, so they guessed coins to decide who would get it. Compared with other types of implant surgery, the risk of dismantling the old implant and installing a new one is much greater. It is not just about the better effect of the new implant, which can greatly improve the living and working conditions. benefit. After all, there are only a few lunatics who have undergone six brain surgeries like Craniosaurus. The two sisters fully weighed the pros and cons before deciding that they could either toss a coin and let fate and luck choose one to have the surgery, or they would not have the surgery at all and let Nai. The customer sells the implant.

When the elder sister undergoes surgery, the younger sister will definitely accompany and take care of her in the hospital, so that only Zhuang Xuteng will be left in the team. After careful consideration, he decided to suspend the mercenary operation and use the one-month incident to take care of his comrades and calm himself. At least use everything on hand first.

In terms of quality, the various items and parts from Kaho are definitely the best, and they stand out as being produced by a company with guaranteed quality. He just installed one of Kaho's eyes, and his combat skills were significantly improved. Wouldn't it be more powerful if all the implants removed from Kaho could be installed?

The actual operation is not that simple. After all, the human body is not a machine. You can change whatever you want and only change whichever you want. Especially advanced implants can produce some effects beyond the normal human body. People don’t know that there are such implants when they are born, and the body cannot provide direct support. Therefore, one implant often needs two or three other implants to cooperate in order to fully exert its power.

Only very mature implants can form a series, such as eyeball implants, cochlear implants, and skin implants. They all started from the research of treatment for disabled people and disease treatment. They have a wide range of application scenarios and mature product lines. Therefore, when companies equip their employees with combat implants, they will consider universality. The Eye of Kaho uses the base of the universal product line, so you can find an implant hospital to choose the corresponding base and install it.

Other implants rarely have such preferential treatment. For example, a reticular tumor implant that Zhuang Xuteng removed from Kaho’s heart, under the observation of the Shadow Eye, the shadow activity level is higher than that of the Eye of Kaho. It must be a very good thing, but there is only a series of numbers and letters on the entire implant that I don’t know what they mean. This code does not conform to the implant naming standard that Zhuang Xuteng knows, so he can't guess its function and supporting equipment. Implants like this are the majority, and the relevant information may only exist within the company.

If you are not careful enough, searching this series of codes on the public information network will not only fail to find any information, but also directly ring the doorbell of the company's security and confidentiality department.

These implants are definitely good things, but Zhuang Xuteng currently has no reliable channels to digest them. Moreover, he also heard that the company's training of an enhanced person is not just about installing an implant for him. There is also a whole team behind him, with a whole set of methods, to help the user adapt to and tap the power of the implant little by little. Among them, top-secret drugs and shadow spells are indispensable, and customized training methods are indispensable.

Even without considering how to adapt and use it after installation, how to install it is a problem.

Although Zhuang Xuteng is not an implant doctor, he has learned the treatment of implant side effects and has mastered some professional knowledge, but he has not seen any textbooks mentioning the existence of this kind of reticular tumor implant. He doubted that any implant doctor on the market would install such an implant.

"Based on the difficulty of disassembly, this implant is more difficult to disassemble than a cranial implant, and it must be even more difficult to install."

He said this with confidence, after all, he was the one who disassembled Kaho and Cranial Dragon. It is generally believed that brain surgery is more complicated than heart surgery, but the company and the public market are also one in the sky and the other in the ground, and they are completely different.

Doctor Jianhei who installed the implant for Nightingale - yes, they can only perform cranial implant surgery under the plastic surgery hospital, and they dare not go to places like the Second Hospital - Doctor Jianhei admitted that this cranial implant surgery was the most complicated surgery he had ever undertaken, and it was very difficult. He was very proud to be successful. The whole operation took 38 hours and 42 minutes. He was the main surgeon and took 82% of the workload. Another implant doctor took turns with him, mainly to keep the patient's vital signs stable. Zhuang Xuteng saw with his own eyes that Jianhei was exhausted, his physical and mental strength had reached the limit, and he had to temporarily look up books for guidance during the operation - he knew that Jianhei would never install a reticular tumor heart implant, not even a single possibility.

The implant removed from Nightingale's brain was not directly discarded, but was taken away by Rock Sparrow as a souvenir, in fact, in order for Zhuang Xuteng to "find a channel to clean it up" to see if the quality could be improved. In this regard, Zhuang Xuteng tried but was powerless: the problem with this implant was that it was inherently bad, not the side effects of death. Eliminating the side effects of death is one thing, and improving the quality of the implant is another. If Zhuang Xuteng had the latter ability, he would have already upgraded all his implants to a perfect level, and he wouldn't have to rummage through the corpses.

By watching this major operation, Zhuang Xuteng also saw the bottom of this underground hospital. With just one glance, he could remember what was in stock in the so-called "core warehouse". Afterwards, according to Rock Sparrow's suggestion, he asked Dr. Jianhei to order a set of personal shadow assistants, the specific model was called "Smart Adjutant Red-A".

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this was military equipment, which could be used in conjunction with the driver assistance suit implant. Although this implant is a bit outdated in today's world and cannot support some newer technologies, Zhuang Xuteng still has a set of Flathead Brother, which can make up for this problem.

Taliyah was right. It is too difficult to find a set of the latest Shadow Slave Assistant now. I don't know when I will have to wait. As long as the old equipment is of good quality, the basic functions are absolutely fine. The military products are relatively durable, and the new functions are realized by the external Shadow Slave device Flathead Brother. Taliyah and Nightingale can also try to upgrade the Flathead Brother.

This is already the best solution at present, and it can also realize an additional function: because the implant is relatively old, it is not considered an "advanced implant"; if it encounters a shock wave attack like the Eye of Kaho, it will be much less affected, and the real unlucky one will be the external Shadow Slave Flathead Brother. Zhuang Xuteng immediately liked this routine when he thought of the tragic death of the Cranial Dragon, and booked the operation time with Dr. Jianhei, which will definitely be after Nightingale fully recovers.

When the hospital saw that Zhuang Xuteng had accurately specified the model of the implant, it knew that the information of its "inner library" had been leaked, but it did not dare to cause trouble for Nike. Lazio's "corpses are still cold", how can the defense level of an underground hospital be comparable to that of the middleman bunker? Who except a fool dares to mess with the scarecrow? Aren't you afraid of becoming a corpse, covered with straw, and hastily buried in the garbage dump?

The personal shadow assistant implant is a platform-type implant that specializes in handling the control needs of implants and shadow slave devices. Zhuang Xuteng will use it to manage the invisibility cloak. He put on the invisibility cloak with the "frame vest" customized by Zhuang Feifei and the cracking program provided by Meteor, and found that it could not be fully activated. The invisibility cloak requires external energy support and data support. The former can be completed with the back power supply interface of the driving assistance suit implant, which is no problem here. But Zhuang Xuteng can only provide half of the data support.

The invisibility cloak first requires a full-domain scanning and tracking of the surrounding environment information. The Eye of Kaho has this function, so this half is completed. The other half is to provide continuous data calculation for the working invisible cloak, so that it can make adaptive changes according to environmental changes.

Zhuang Xuteng has nothing on his body except his brain that can provide such computing support, and his brain is not recognized by the cloak. There are two ways in front of Zhuang Xuteng. One is to install something in his brain like Kaho, connect the central nervous system all the way, and open a hole behind the neck to make a computing interface to connect with the cloak; the other is to use the central control of the shadow assistant plus the interface and computing support of the flat head brother to make the cloak run.

What is the difference between the two? The former can keep Zhuang Xuteng invisible when he is running in the cloak, while the latter can only support him to be invisible when he is stationary. Zhuang Xuteng thought about it, why should he run in the cloak? It doesn't make sense... Although this function of motion invisibility greatly increases his chances of survival, isn't the current problem that it can't be done? Solve as many as you can first.

Counting from the time Nightingale entered the hospital, the operation lasted almost two days. She really woke up 48 hours after the operation, and then she was drowsy and switched between sleep and wakefulness irregularly for two weeks. Half a month later, Nightingale began to resume her normal routine and was much more energetic. She began to do recovery training to allow the implant to adapt to and rebind her nervous system. Three weeks, to be exact, on the 24th day, Nightingale's condition was completely stable, and the effect of recovery training was as good as expected. Zhuang Xuteng was pushed into the operating room, the implant was installed, and a two-week recovery began.

The implant is located behind his right clavicle, and the additional data interface also comes out from here, occupying a 1.5 cm square piece of skin. When using the cloak, the flat-headed brother will lie on his back, and at the same time connect to the additional data interface of the personal assistant and the implant of the driving assistance suit to provide computing power for the cloak.

Combined with the three intelligence officers Meteor, Rock Sparrow, and Nightingale solving the problem of the shadow chip operating system for him, the cloak can finally work.
