Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 22 Cyber ​​Warrior

"Master!" Yuki asked suddenly when he was helping Xiangshan adjust the circuit: "Wait a minute, can I leave for a while? I want to go out and have a look..."

"Go out?" Xiang Shan was a little puzzled: "It's your freedom to go out. But isn't it very chaotic outside recently?"

These days, Xiangshan stays at home, and he concentrates on rebuilding his prosthetic body here.But he could still hear the movement outside.

In the past half month, the village chief has done some things.He heard the work of a third of the town, organizing everyone into combat training—a “self-defense organization,” he called it.

Of course, this is also a way.Warriors are not omnipotent.At least in Xiang Shan's perception, powerful fighters can indeed be killed by numbers.A group of industrial heavy machines are lined up together, attacking and defending with uniform movements, that is a warrior who has to be frightened.

But the problem is, "arranging in a row for coordinated attack and defense" is itself a kind of martial arts.Xiang Shan still remembers that "martial art of manipulating many machines or large warships" is the third major school, "Military Way", which is different from outer martial arts and inner martial arts.

Alternatively, non-warriors can also rely on thermal weapons to suppress shooting, and use saturated attacks against non-gunners.

But according to Xiang Shan's observation, the only thermal weapon that appeared in this village was the automatic rifle in the mayor's hand.

If there is only this level of firepower, let alone suppressing warriors, maybe a warrior with a thicker outer armor can stand still and let the mayor shoot at will.

This is the difference between cyber prosthetic body and flesh body.When the body is injured, it often affects the whole body.Pain anywhere interferes with the body's ability to exert force.A muscle break somewhere will prevent some movements from being performed.Even if adrenaline can really make you ignore the body's self-protection mechanism, the hypoxia caused by bleeding cannot be overcome by perseverance.

This is, after all, a material world.As long as there is no oxygen, cells cannot get energy.

Even a ricochet bruise might prevent a physical human from exerting his full strength.

But cyberoids are different.As long as the key transmission components are not damaged, the cyber body's ability to operate will not be hindered in any way.If the caliber of the bullet is small, the outer armor of the cyber prosthesis can completely block it.

Cyber ​​prosthetics do not need to "rehabilitate injuries".As long as you can afford it, you can replace it with a new one if it breaks.

This makes warriors have a higher fault tolerance rate on the battlefield, and also makes thermal weapons have higher requirements for users.

Xiang Shan didn't even hear any gunshots in the village.It is impossible to come here to have a master of guns trained by consuming bullets.

He even wondered for a while whether the mayor just wanted to use this opportunity to get a private soldier in his hands.

Yuki looked very expectant: "Master, do you know that the mayor hired three martial artists from the city at his own expense!"

"Martial artist?" Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "I heard that martial artists are very respected...the mayor is so rich?"

"Ah, it can't be the kind that can qualify for the Paralympic Games, but it still has the level of the local league!" Yuki said excitedly, "That's a professional martial artist! A professional martial artist!"

Xiang Shan murmured, "Professional martial artist? Is it amazing?"

——Cyber ​​martial arts is a kind of assassination technique, and those who go to the ring are also assassination techniques?

"Master, our people have been here since childhood... Hey, why don't you go and see those martial artists too? Maybe you can remember the past?" Yuki kept persuading.

"No, no." Xiang Shan waved his hand: "I just want to try to absorb the memory of that dog today, and I need a quiet environment. It's just right for you to watch the excitement—remember to tell your mother."

Yuki nodded: "Understood!" Then he ran out.

Xiang Shan fell into deep thought.

He knew very well that cyber martial arts were designed to fight against tyrants.As long as there is still martial arts and chivalry, the grassroots have the opportunity to assassinate the tyrant.This is the only purpose for which martial arts were designed.

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of development martial arts had undergone during his time of deep sleep.Why is there such a thing as a ring duel?

——No, it seems that there were indeed...

Xiang Shan looked at the two hard drives in his hand.

At this moment, his appearance completely changed.He is being hung above a table - unlike a natural person, the prosthetic body does not have blood circulation, and the long-term binding will not cause necrosis.The streamlined outer armor like light plate armor outlines the lines of his torso - of course, in terms of thickness, the heavy armor of ancient knights is not as heavy as this suit of armor.

A brand-new alloy skull was tightly attached to his original skull.A data cable extends from the skull and connects to Dr. Schultz's medical terminal.

Canine prosthetic fur covers his hands.These furs impede heat dissipation, but provide some limited protection.

Right below him, are two legs.

These two legs are the result of all the artificial muscle fibers in that dog coming together.Xiangshan completely changed the arrangement of muscle fibers.It can move in any direction.Joint techniques in the traditional sense cannot restrain these legs.And after a large number of artificial muscle fibers are gathered together, if they are fully contracted or released under high-voltage electricity, the kicking force gathered can be calculated in "tons", and it can even kill an elephant with one kick.

But this method of bringing artificial muscle fibers together also makes heat dissipation a big problem-after all, Will Granddog's canine prosthetic body spreads these muscle fibers evenly across the entire body Above, the heat dissipation area is much larger than the legs made of layers of muscles.Xiang Shan didn't even add armor on the outside of this layer of artificial muscles, but covered it with some kind of special plastic with excellent thermal conductivity and low specific heat capacity-this thing is available in the village.

Inside this artificial muscle, there are several coolant circulation systems similar to "blood vessels".

These two legs have not been fully connected to the body, only the hoses and circuits that transport the coolant have been connected.

"Okay, this is basically completed. Today the welfare officer is here, and the thugs will have to wait for the welfare officer to leave before they show up..."

Xiang Shan connected a memory storage hard drive to the terminal.

"There's still some time, so just read this memory. I hope there are some valuable things in this memory."

..................................................................

Outside the town, many residents gathered together.

Welfare officers have much lower authority than tax officers.Tax collectors can decide how much genetic tax to charge.It can be said that the life and death of a settlement can be decided by tax officials.But welfare officers are only responsible for distributing genetic benefits.Even if he doesn't pay them, the town will be able to raise fewer babies.

Therefore, the battle to welcome the welfare officer this time is much simpler than welcoming the tax officer.

But the mayor still brought a large group of people and waited in the square last time.

Yuki squeezed among the crowd in the square, wanting to get a closer look at those warriors.

Of course, he knew that most of his masters knew martial arts.He also knew that the martial artist that the mayor could invite was not likely to be a top figure.

However, this is the first time he has met a serious martial artist!

Not the humble animal form, nor the half-crippled form of Master, but a real warrior with a complete prosthetic body!

How could he not take a look?

At this time, the dust gradually rose.Metal-based plants grow slower than in the past, especially woody plants, so there is very little vegetation in this era and dust is everywhere.Ground effect aircraft can even set off a sandstorm.

Yuki suddenly heard the loudspeaker shouting behind him: "Yuki! Come here!"

Yuki turned around quickly, trying to stay away from his mother.However, the townspeople, who don’t know where the good thing came from, pulled Yuki’s upper body and laughed loudly: "Little devil, your mother is calling you!"

Yuki bumped into Yulia's tire all of a sudden, and after standing upright, he was embarrassed to move, lowered his head and said, "Mom?"

"Yuki! What are you thinking?" Yulia was very upset: "Recently you have been in close contact with 'Shan'. I think he is indeed teaching you some repair knowledge, so he didn't interfere too much. .But what are you doing here?"

Due to work, Yulia had little communication with this person who was staying at her son's house.But when she went home occasionally, she did see Yuki learning how to repair machinery.This is a very noble craft nowadays.Therefore, she did not interfere too much.

But in her heart, warriors with unknown origins like Xiang Shan are dangerous after all.

"I'll just look at those warriors..."

"What can you do after seeing it? Can you afford the prosthetic body of a warrior?" Yulia accused mercilessly: "The road of a warrior is very difficult, and it is easy to become a thug. I advise you to Don't be curious about warriors..."

"Mom!" Yuki stomped his feet, "I'm just curious!"

"Curious? Do you know what the mayor did when he invited those three warriors back? They may join the battle at any time. If you get too close, in case something goes wrong..."

At this time, the sandstorm suddenly reached its peak.Visibility drops rapidly.

The welfare officer finally arrived.Yulia stopped talking instinctively.

............................................................

The mayor came here early today to wait.

Behind the old man were three more people from outside the town.Unlike the residents in the town, these three people have a high degree of prosthetic body, but they are not the kind of sharp-edged industrial prosthetic body.Their steel bodies, compared to the shoddy prosthetic bodies of the townspeople, are simply handicrafts.

These three warriors are all well-known figures in the outside world.

Among the three warriors, the one at the head has impressive arms.He only has one pair of arms, but the size of these arms almost makes people think it is an industrial heavy machine.The weight of this pair of arms is close to one ton, but they can swing punches at a speed of more than 200 meters per second.

Such a fist can even scrap a tank with one punch.

"Main Battle Tank" Paulus.

Just like his title, the "Mechanical Fist" that this warrior is good at can unleash the power of a main battle tank charge.

And the second martial artist is not as eye-catching as the first one.Not a single part of his skin was exposed, and his entire appearance had a silvery radiance.His waist is very slender, and in order to take into account the speed, he abandoned his own weight to the maximum extent.The warrior's back is roughly equivalent to the shoulder blade of a natural person, with two extra arms extending out.These two arms do not resemble human hands, but are closer to praying mantises, completely connected with the knife.

With a technique that only exists in this era, this warrior has completed the practice of "unity of human and sword".

"Rainstorm Knife" Longconi.

The third person looked ordinary, but he was carrying a Vulcan machine gun on his shoulders. He presumably was a practitioner of the legendary Dao of guns and guns.

"Flower Bomb" Anthony.

All three are warriors from nearby cities.

　The programmer comrades in the reader group did a whole job. They found the open source code of "Cyberpunk 2077 Sand Sculpture Map Generator" from GitHub, and then spent some time making a "Cyberpunk [-] Sand Sculpture Map Generator" , the link has been sent to the official readership.

　　I decided to open a "Cyber ​​Heroes Sand Sculpture Building" in the book review area.

　　In commemoration of this event, a special update has been added.
