To Four Thousand Years Later

Forty-two carefully studied his physical examination report. Although there were some terms that he didn't understand, it was enough to see some special things in the known part. The medical examination report proved that Forty-two had indeed lost a lot of previous memories—this was within Forty-two's expectation. He had heard from Dr. Norbert before the medical examination. Because of a mechanic's operation error, part of his underlying memory may have been deleted, which will be missing a part. Fortunately, his action and thinking ability are not restricted. On the contrary, it was a good thing for Forty-Two. In this way, he can more naturally and logically ask some people in this era that may seem to be "common sense", without being suspected, and instead will be trusted by the company. In addition, Forty Two also noticed that I am very clean. According to the report, this body has no traces of installing any plug-ins, and there is no trace of using special methods to catalyze growth or adjust genes—this is very abnormal. According to his previous conversation with Dr. Norbert, and the advertisements he saw and heard in the car, it can be inferred that the "nerve plug-in" of this era is already a very popular thing, even for newborns. Physiological monitoring plug-ins will be installed to avoid sudden accidents when parents are working outside or children suffering from emergencies.

And grow up a little bit. A mnemonic plug-in will also be installed for learning—too much knowledge has been accumulated in this era. If you follow the normal learning scale. Students work hard until they are in their thirties before they can barely start research in new fields. This is a waste of human resources. The main goals of this era are the in-depth understanding of the mysteries of life, the exploration of the endless starry sky, the control of psionic energy, and the creation and management of artificial intelligence.

certainly. There is also the development and research of new weapons-although the bugs that invaded from other worlds are not very threatening, they will still cause some troubles.

And this kind of neural plug-in based on the "Ramon Gayton" system can improve some basic performances of human beings. It can be used to improve memory, so that people can complete the past ten or decades in a shorter lifespan. The process of learning and growing up, in a sense, can be regarded as a disguised increase in human life span. At least it has increased the usable life span. But this is a bit interesting. Why is there no trace of using plug-ins in this body?

It is as if it has been placed in a petri dish for more than ten years, and it has just been taken out. But such a body is generally extraordinarily fragile and sluggish, but it can be used without hindrance, and even has some habitual movements.

"Are you still reading the medical report?"

As Dr. Norbert said, he opened the door and walked in: Then I think you may have some doubts about yourself.

"I still have some doubts about you.

Forty-two glanced back at him: "Why did you leave suddenly just now?"

"Don't blame me, I went to find you an expert.

Dr. Norbert walked up to him and put his arms around his shoulders—he smiled and walked half a circle with Forty-Two in his arms, and bowed slightly slipperily to the man who followed him in: "Noon Ann, boss, I hope you're not dead yet.

"Great, your grandson is alive too.

The man replied with a mechanically synthesized voice. The appearance of this person made Forty-two's eyes widen. If there is anything in this era that makes him feel "sci-fi" the most, it is undoubtedly this man in front of him.

Or rather, this thing. His head was only half a lower half. From the position above the cheekbones, where the brain should be, is a projected red light ball. It is following the man's speech, and it is fast retracting and retracting rhythmically and frequently. He is intact from the position below the eyes. There is also human skin on the outside. He has a nose. It has a mouth and a tongue. have teeth. But where his eyes should have been, there is only a horizontal black sunglasses embedded in his skull. And he was wearing a silk robe with a round collar, a red robe with a gold belt, his hands were folded in the wide long sleeves, and his skin was a little dark. Besides that, he doesn't seem to have a voice. Forty-two noticed that his Adam's apple didn't even vibrate when he spoke.

"Let me introduce you.

Dr. Norbert said with a smile: "This little cutie is the magical synthetic man picked up by Ms. Ping. The most amazing thing is that he has no record of using any plug-ins, but he still has the habit and habit of communicating with people normally. ability.

"And this one is our boss, Chang Xiyi, Mr. Chang. People in the world call him Banyan, and his nickname is Brainless."

"Just call me boss, or Uncle Chang."

When Mr. Chang said this, he paused slightly, and stretched out his hand to Forty-two: "No one here calls me Mr. Chang.

"I want to ask, can you live without a brain?"

Forty-two asked softly, stretched out his hand and lightly shook Chang Xiyi's three fingers.

Mr. Chang smiled slightly: "Of course you can, as long as you have psychic powers. I'm going to die a long time ago. It's because I can use the psychic power to drag this machine to move. I'm dying here with this machine.

Does Heruo have to start again? This is it.

"No, I probably know that.

"Okay. In short, remember that if you use psionic powers, you have to get a research certificate. Otherwise, it is against the law.

Mr. Chang's mouth moved as usual. And the throat said a mechanically synthesized voice: "I mean, you also have psychic powers. But you don't have a certificate. Forty-two looked at him, and suddenly asked in an innocent voice: "Then you are a certificate holder?" "

Dr. Norbert, who was sitting next to him, squirted out the wine he just drank, coughing and laughing.

Chang Xi let out a mechanical laugh: In a sense. Yes.

"That's it." Forty-two didn't get too obsessed with molesting the boss. The topic quickly changed to what he was really interested in, so is there anything special about me? What could it be? '"There is no record of use of neural plugins, which is the biggest anomaly.

Chang Xiyi replied: "I think Norbert should have told you something. There are basically not many people in this area who don't use neural plug-ins. They go to school in Tianjin Wei, and they are also rich there. More than 20 years It became popular before. Let’s just say that there are very few poor people in the whole of Asia in the true sense, and they can basically afford plug-ins. Not to mention, “You are like a hospital taking care of patients or babies, so you have to Hang a physiological monitoring plug-in, otherwise the soil nurse will not be at ease; if critically ill, you may have to hang an additional life-support plug-in, which is used to call the nurse's desk for self-rescue at critical moments. Or there are more high-end ones. The level of hormones can be precisely controlled to treat some diseases.

Boss Chang explained to Forty-two in detail. It doesn't look like the boss of a "security company" at all. To be more like a port mechanic. Including those military and police mechanical exoskeletons. Or those bionic or enhanced prosthetics, training devices for training muscle memory, or "wetware interfaces" for controlling drones or fortress mechanical guards, all synchronized with the body through the Raymond Gayton system Yes, it can also be regarded as a kind of neural plug-in. "

"As long as it has been used, it will definitely leave a record - including the time and place of installation and uninstallation, and the signature of the technician. Without it, it will be difficult for customers who buy inferior plug-ins and have a series of after-effects to defend their rights. For those criminals who use illegal plug-ins, this is the only way to prove that the other party has used it."

"But I have no records here at all."

"It's a coincidence that it's here, isn't it?"

Boss Chang smiled cheerfully, walked to the side of the operating table and began to operate skillfully: "Come on, let me help you see that grandson is not good at learning, and it's okay to pretend to be an eye and an arm and a leg. This kind of technology He can't do it.

Uncle Chang, isn't this a security company? "Forty-two suddenly felt that something was wrong with his painting style.

"No one said that security companies can't research technology, right? Boss Chang didn't turn his head, and replied casually: Go back ten years, your Uncle Chang's company sells plug-ins. I don't need anesthesia to install plug-ins for myself. It's over in the blink of an eye. If it wasn't for someone who prevented him from doing business properly, he would have stopped talking before he finished speaking.

Then Boss Chang pointed to the shiny top of his head, and replied with a rough mechanical voice: "No, I made this thing, isn't it enough workmanship?"
