Chapter 591 Chapter 588 Social Network
The setting up of social public work points is very simple, just a row of chairs and sufficient power supply. Each chair is placed in a zero-gravity reclining position, with a perforated glass cover at the back that can be flipped up and buckled down. It looks a lot like the hair ironing equipment in a barber shop. I hope it will not be replaced by more convenient implant wigs in the future.
The worker lies on the work chair with the residual heat of the former, adjusts the body posture, puts on the timed dream mist machine, and then presses the only button on the hood to start working. They spend eight hours in a comfortable dream and wake up feeling groggy, as if they took a nap but didn't get enough sleep.
The most important part of the entire set of equipment is the headgear that collects the brain's computing power. It uses distributed algorithms to decompose various work problems encountered by executing the puppet into brain wave signals, and uses the network to distribute them to various work points for calculation. Due to the delay in the network, coupled with the delay in decomposing calculations, allocating workload, and waiting for feedback, the response speed and accuracy of the execution puppet using this method are not as good as the zombie mode direct control in terms of response speed and accuracy. It is more suitable for jobs in factories and farms, and can also be used in most service industries that do not require immediate response.
In fact, this already covers most jobs.
Because they need to be spread out in large quantities, work chairs are designed to be strong, durable, and adaptable, minimizing operation and maintenance pressure and use risks. When the user's brainwave signal is unstable, the work chair will increase its latency and assign it only the most general work scenarios, such as an execution puppet walking on the sidewalk.
Severe Blue Savage addicts who are experiencing withdrawal reactions are limited to this working mode. The work chair will delay the delivery of work orders and the collection of work results. The work efficiency of such people is less than a quarter of normal people, but their pay is actually the same. The company's research believes that such people do not live long and are only a small burden to the entire project. However, they can greatly reduce social problems and are extremely helpful in promoting social public work point projects. They are still a good deal.
Just think of it as a relatively slow "euthanasia" service.
Zhuang Xuteng placed his sensing tentacles on this person, and then passed on the "injury". The technology of "transmitting injuries" in necromancy is essentially to absorb the opponent's vitality, physically extract the cell activity and nutrients, and mentally absorb his will to survive and positive emotions. These things combined are called "vitality", which corresponds to the "death energy" in the concept of necromancy. The reason why the word "passing" is used is more to highlight the initiative of the Necromancer in this process: I can take it if I want, and grab it if I don't want it; not only can I take a small amount, but also a full amount, and even more. Capture quantity.
In just two or three seconds, Zhuang Xuteng forced a large amount of resentment into it, "replacing" all his life force, and immediately took away the man's life. Just as Zhuang Xuteng was about to find his next target, he discovered that the sensory tentacles in contact with that person were sending new information, and it seemed to be getting stronger.
"Huh? The sensory tentacles seem to be connected to something..."
As long as mana is provided, the sensory tentacles can continue to extend, sending back sensory information wherever they go. In the state of eight flashes, Zhuang Xuteng has been able to mobilize other people's senses, influence their judgment, and control other people's actions to a certain extent. This time, he killed the person opposite the sensing tentacle behind the work chair. The sensing tentacle actually established a connection with the work chair through the man's body. The work chair even provided shadow energy to the sensing tentacle, trying to strengthen it and extend it. …
"I used my sensory tentacles to affect the corpse, and the work chair did the same, so it regarded me as part of itself?" Zhuang Xuteng thought for a moment, and he thought he should try to extend his sensory tentacles in the work chair network. The technique of sensing tentacles has always been very safe. Cutting it off will only lose part of the mana and will not affect Zhuang Xuteng's state. It feels like looking away or covering his ears.
So Zhuang Xuteng remained focused, gathered his sensing tentacles on the deceased's head, and connected to the work chair network on his behalf. Suddenly, Zhuang Xuteng's eyes lit up. He dimly saw countless roads composed of shadow energy, forming a huge and intricate network structure in the sky. Its periphery is criss-crossed like a spider web, and its core is a huge luminous ball, for which brains from all corners of the world are providing computational support.
"This is... a working network for executing puppets?" Zhuang Xuteng was a little stunned. He didn't expect to see such a thing. "My sensory tentacles can continue to extend, and there is no sense of distance like extending in the real world... Hey, let me try this way."
He randomly picked a direction, concentrated on the network that also belonged to the periphery, and moved his sensing tentacles there. Then, he "saw" another larger social public work station, with more than 300 work chairs densely arranged, and the people "commuting to and from get off work" were replaced in batches in an orderly manner. He extended his sensing tentacle slightly, extending it beyond the working point. Based on the shop signs on both sides of the street and the license plates of vehicles on the road, he found that the tentacles had arrived in a residential area on Xiuwan Road in Peicheng Industrial Zone.
The straight-line distance from the surgery site in the hub area to the industrial area is estimated to be ten kilometers. Now the sensory tentacles have not only reached out, but they have also consumed no additional mana from Zhuang Xuteng. The shadow energy from the entire "work chair network" provides the required mana for Zhuang Xuteng's spells.
Compared to the human power generation system, everyone's mana is not worth mentioning.
"I feel that this connection is very stable. How far can it be extended?" Zhuang Xuteng concentrated his mind, extended his perception tentacles, and moved away about two and a half kilometers. He roughly calculated: from himself lying on the bed, the distance to the work chair plus the distance extended from the work chair in the industrial area is exactly the maximum extension distance that his current mana can support. In other words, the distance crossed through the "work chair network" is not counted.
This is fun. Zhuang Xuteng retracted the perception tentacles, looked back at the network just now, and then selected a very far node to extend the perception tentacles. Good guy, he found himself in a strange city that was unknown how far away, and the perception tentacles could still extend another two and a half kilometers.
Zhuang Xuteng tried it, not only could he perceive the remote environment, but he could also transmit resentment, but he couldn't use this channel to collect "vitality". After thinking about it, Zhuang Xuteng believes that there is basically no difference between "resentment" and the side effects of shadows. The work chair network is a network composed of shadow energy and signals, and the content of shadows can pass. The vitality and resentment in the concept of necromancy are basically completely opposite in nature, and they are incompatible in function. It is reasonable that this network cannot be used.
Through this network, Zhuang Xuteng can collect the resentment of any work chair user, and then transfer it to any work chair within 2.5 kilometers, and deliver it to any target. This means that he has almost infinite attack power and can "curse" anyone with resentment. Even the company's enhanced people can hardly bear so much resentment, and they are not immune to implant complications.
Retracting the perception tentacles and returning to the ward, Zhuang Xuteng suddenly felt relaxed all over: he has a killer weapon to deal with the company's enhanced people! He has always attached great importance to the attack mode of resentment transfer. Inducing Lanqi disease and causing physical overload are quite effective means to deal with enhanced people. The main problem in the past was that there was not enough resentment, especially since the company's enhanced people have a very high level of tolerance for shadows, and their maintenance level, training results and medical support team are also top-notch, so the amount of resentment is even less.
Kill a few people first, and use the effect of death to amplify the side effects of shadows to snowball, and accumulate continuously until enough is accumulated to overwhelm the enhanced people at one time - this is definitely not fast. If the company attaches great importance to Zhuang Xuteng and sends seven or eight highly skilled enhanced people, it will be a life-and-death battle to fight any of them first, and there is no chance of snowballing, so this trick cannot be used.
The problem is solved. As long as there is this work chair, Zhuang Xuteng can collect resentment from the entire network, which is equivalent to always having enough ammunition!
"Now I know what to do! Open a social public work point and live next to it. It would be best to move a work chair to my home and use the almost unlimited resentment reserves in the entire network at any time. Hmm... wait, if I can enter the network without using corpses?"
I tried it as soon as I thought of it, and immediately found that it didn't work. When working, the sensory tentacles will be squeezed out by the brain signals in the thinking state and cannot be inserted into the work chair network, which is the same as it cannot completely drill into the opponent's body and directly take over its nervous system. This is not a big problem. Ordinary people have no resistance to Zhuang Xuteng's power. Killing one person can open the network entrance, which does not delay its use in combat.
Then there are three questions left: Can it be done by directly moving a fresh corpse into the chair, can it be used at any time by using a refrigerator to extend the preservation time of the dead and not disconnecting the connection, and can Zhuang Xuteng extend the sensory tentacles while lying on the work chair?
All three questions require experiments to know the results, but he certainly does not have the conditions to do experiments now. Zhuang Xuteng kept this in mind and continued to use the sensory tentacles to collect vitality for himself and speed up his body recovery.
After 24 hours of observation, Dr. Jiang confirmed that Zhuang Xuteng's physical condition has stabilized and he can leave the hospital, but he must continue to rest for at least a week to allow the new implant to adapt to the "working environment". Do not engage in strenuous activities and do not contact unsanitary environments...
This time is just right for doing research on work chairs, and there is no problem staying at home.
Before leaving the hospital, Zhuang Xuteng saw Dr. Jiang's exoskeleton. Under the cover of special materials, the shadow of the company's implant on his back was indeed weakened from the energy signal, which could play a concealing role.
"You must be careful at all times. As long as the exoskeleton is taken off, the problem will be found immediately." Zhuang Xuteng said to Ge Gongdao: "You need to be more cautious when taking off your pants in the future, and don't expose it to others."
"Indeed. Risks and benefits always go hand in hand. Since you said it's okay, I will install the implant. But I don't need you to accompany me, Prince will come. You go home early now, don't let her worry."
After seeing Dr. Jiang Pazu's skills, Zhuang Xuteng was not worried about Ge Gongdao's surgery. The implants used by the company for its internal personnel are of high quality and good safety. The resentment accumulated during use and death has also been cleaned up by Zhuang Xuteng, which is almost the same as new ones. If such an operation cannot be done well, then don't open a hospital in the future.
When Zhuang Xuteng returned home, he had to be personally inspected by Morgana before she could decide whether he should stay in bed or move around. Now they live in the Morgana family's manor, using Morgana's former room. The three-story building that belongs to them is under construction. It is estimated that it will take a few months to complete, and it will take another three or four months to move in. Compared with other buildings in the manor, this small building with square heads and right angles and a modular style can be said to be very simple and ugly. It is like a blank piece of paper placed next to a famous painting. It can only be used as an introduction at most, and it is definitely not worthy of recognition. On works. However, Morgana and Zhuang Xuteng did not think that this small building had any need to be handed down from generation to generation. It would be enough if it could be used for fifty or sixty years, which would be enough for them to live out their entire lives.
Besides, it’s not like we can’t afford to build a second building.
"I have decided what kind of industry I want to open." Zhuang Xuteng was talking about his future plans while eating the nutritionally fortified meal prepared by Morgana for him. "I also want to open a social and public work site. It saves worry, just pay for it, and it doesn't take much effort to find someone to look after it. I figured it out, and I can do research through it."
"What are you going to study?" Morgana poured Zhuang Xuteng a glass of synthetic juice and asked.
"The impact of this industry on society." Zhuang Xuteng sighed. He did not dare to say that he was going to use a work chair to kill people remotely. That would be too scary. Fortunately, he usually has some thoughts, which he can use at this time. "The public security in Peicheng is indeed much better now, and I feel different on the streets. But every time I think about this public work site, I feel like there is a problem somewhere. It's not because of the fog machine, or because It pays part of it in safety blue, but it’s something else that I haven’t figured out yet, but I want to figure it out.”
"There are already many research reports on social and public work points, and some of them have been written into books. Most of them have positive opinions, but there are also negative ones. You can just read them. Why bother?"
"I have a smart brain. I have to find a way to keep using it, otherwise it will get rusty." Zhuang Xuteng said: "In addition, I recently hired a subordinate. You can call him Black Mike. He is my errand boy and helps me with some things. Miscellaneous things.”
"Black Mike? Male or female?"
"Male...can't you recognize this name?"
"Is this a name? It's just a code name! Well... I'm not worried about you taking the initiative to provoke weird people, but you have to be careful about the company's routine. Send a proactive beauty to your side to cause a scandal, which will lead to the two of us. Once the relationship breaks down and you get divorced, they can use their hands to do whatever they want to do to you."
"Why don't you send a handsome guy to find you?"
"I feel like they sent one during the more than half a year you were away. I didn't realize it at all, and I didn't realize it until now. In addition, men, you should be careful, I have heard some rumors..."
