Chapter 72

The sound of the table collapsing startled the little girl.Her eyes wrinkled and tears rolled down her face.

But Yuki couldn't care less about the little girl now.He exclaimed: "Master, how did you do it?"

"I didn't do it, it was the sword that did it." Xiang Shan shook his head, bent down, and observed the cut.The cut was at the very beginning—closer to the point of contact with the blade—and it was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cast directly.

But the longer this slash mark is extended, the rougher it will be.The end of this trace is close to the torn wound.

Just the result of a light tap.

However, Xiang Shan knew that this sword was more powerful than that.

The direction in which this slash mark extends is consistent with the direction pointed by the sword's edge.

But when he lightly slammed the long sword against the table, he intentionally made the direction of force and the direction of the blade stagger.

If it is a real hard slash, then this one will cause the blade to curl.

The direction in which the sword marks extended was not the direction in which he exerted force.

Just the direction of the blade.

In other words, this trace has nothing to do with him, it is purely the effect of the sword itself.

"Sound Knife." Xiang Shan nodded.

Phonons, the quanta of sound waves.

From the extension of the "particle-wave duality" of light, a "wave" can show particle nature under certain conditions.The "phonon" is the quantized form of sound waves and mechanical waves under certain conditions.

Phonons are the collective excitation of atomic (or molecular) vibrations in condensed matter, and are often used to describe a quasiparticle of lattice vibration.It can only exist in crystals.Moreover, the phonon is not conserved, it will decay spontaneously, so it is also called a "quasiparticle".

In short, phonons can be seen as quantized manifestations of the collective motion of extremely strongly interacting atoms within a crystal.

The phonon knife uses a sword-shaped generator to gather the vibrations to the extreme and create phonons.When the phonon passes, the powerful energy will disintegrate the lattice structure of the alloy.

This is equivalent to an upgraded version of "high-frequency shock wave disintegrating metal", but the vibration frequency and intensity of the phonon knife are not comparable to the high-frequency oscillation generator of Longconi's prosthetic hand.

Because the oscillation frequency is too high, it is difficult to find a qualified material as the connection between the sword-shaped phonon generator and the hilt.

That's why I chose to use "magnetic levitation" to fix the blade.

Yuki gasped: "This is too powerful...that is to say, the armor will be cut with a slight knock?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "It's not that easy. The restriction of this phono knife is not small. First of all, you have to know the crystal structure of the alloy used in the opponent's armor. The reason why I was able to cut this table easily just now is purely because I Have a certain understanding of this civilian alloy material. If you don’t know the crystal structure, you can’t set the corresponding parameters. Then, the phonon knife is just a stronger high-frequency blade.”

Back then, Xiang Shan had already pushed Gliad to the corner behind him, so why did he insist on forcing Gliad a few times?

It is because he has to determine the structure of the opponent's outer armor by tapping, and find the most suitable mechanical wave frequency, so as to destroy the enemy's outer armor.

The phonon knife will only have higher requirements for this.

And if it is dealing with non-crystals, such as glass, asphalt and the like, then the phonon knife is not even as good as ordinary knives.

"Then, there is another shortcoming of this thing..." Xiang Shan looked at the huge shield with a rather depressed expression: "It's really expensive..."

Such an immediate effect of the phonon knife is inseparable from the excellent structure of the blade at the micro level.It can even be said to be spelled out atom by atom.

It is this rigid structure that ensures that the moment the blade contacts the metal, the energy accumulated on the sword by the magnetic levitation device can be converted into phonons in the shortest possible time to destroy the lattice structure of the metal.

Such a blade has a very limited number of uses.It can be said that every time it is activated, the sword body is waiting for a deterioration.

Not only that, if the blade is hit from the side, it will be damaged.

In the same way, the requirements for the "knife tendon" of this thing are also unimaginably high.The so-called "knife tendon" or "blade tendon" means that the "direction of the blade" is consistent with the "direction of the arm's force". The "knife tendon" is not straight, or it is easy to roll the blade, or it cannot cut the target.However, the requirements of the Phonon Knife on the "knife tendon" have basically exceeded the limit of the precision of a natural human body.

In addition, if the target is not hit within 200 seconds after switching to the "high-frequency vibration mode", the energy accumulated inside the blade will accelerate the deterioration of the blade.

All of the above, in a nutshell...

This extremely expensive blade is essentially a consumable.

"The reason why the sword body should be fixed by magnetic levitation is that apart from 'the fixing material is hard to find', the more important point is 'easy to replace'." Xiang Shan looked at the shield and said, "Why is this shield so big? ...Because there are replacement blades inside."

Yuki was stunned: "Doesn't this mean that this thing is... useless?"

"If the intelligence work is done well, this thing can even tear the outer armor of the battleship." Xiang Shan shook his head: "Compared with this power, these defects can be ignored."

but……

——It is certain that this is the weapon used by the government's eagle dogs.That's right in terms of design.

——The weapons used by knights generally don't use such expensive replaceable blades.

——If the government is still the same as before, and the resources that can be used by individuals are determined according to their level... The cost of this sword will be higher than the prosthetic body of the welfare officer's many soldiers.

——It is possible to obtain this kind of material from the government and use it to reward gangsters at the level of Gliad.What kind of way is this water worm?

Yuki felt it was a pity: "Since you can't use it, Master, isn't it a waste?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "Not necessarily. If my prosthetic body can get more powerful legs and feet, and then use the counterweight to move the center of gravity of the prosthetic body downward, then it can also use this shield. Although there is a load , but the shield can also slightly improve the aerodynamic appearance. With tactical cooperation, it can achieve a final effect."

Yuki nodded: "But it still doesn't work now..."

"There's really no room for this thing in the 'donkey', but it can be used as a trailer to put it behind."

After thinking about it for a moment, Xiang Shan moved the thing out, then rebuilt a low trailer and placed the shield on it.This trailer is simpler than a donkey, and only has the functions of trip statistics and automatic steering.Xiang Shan now just wants it to go to the "donkey" side by itself, but he doesn't expect it to automatically avoid the enemy like the "donkey", he only needs it to go to the donkey's side first.

After sending away the precious weapon, Xiang Shan read those Demon Cult cheat books again.

In the meantime, he supplemented Yuki with some foundations in mathematics and engineering.

After a few hours, Xiang Shan roughly understood the idea of ​​the Devil's Cult.

Almost as he guessed.Since the human brain still has structural advantages that computers cannot match, the Devil's Cult focuses on exploring how this mathematical advantage is formed and produced, and how to use brain transformation to further expand this advantage.

Among them, Gliad represents a direction.

As we all know, humans and other mammals basically rely on the neocortex to think.

Sauropteria-Aves do not have a neocortex, but the striatum in birds, which has evolved since the age of dinosaurs, also has some functions similar to the neocortex.Birds with high IQs such as crows are not even inferior to primates in intelligence.

At the same time, the ganglia of cephalopods/octopus subclasses actually have potential.The IQ of octopuses is also outstanding.

The Demon Cult that came into contact with Gliad, that is, the "Envoy of the Waterworm", is in charge of the "Cephalopod Ganglion" project.

That is, by creating a structure similar to the corpus callosum, a cephalopod ganglion network with independent thinking ability is connected to the human brain, making it a part of the human "whole brain".

Of course, how the "cephalopod body" that can be connected to the human brain without causing any rejection reaction was cultivated, Glyard and his party don't know.What they obtained was the "organ disc" of the cephalopod limb - a structure similar to the "imaginal disc" in the larvae of a fully metamorphic insect, which can be regarded as the "seed" and "embryo" of the "organ".

Gliad just got the remodeling surgery.

According to Zhenshuiworm's plan, Gliad will go through a lot of thinking training afterward, and run certain internal skills used to test the performance of biological brains, and so on.

If they hadn't met Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief.There are indeed various techniques of brain surgery, and it is not the standard of "enough is enough".

The Demon Cult is indeed serious about exploring the boundaries of human brain power.

"That girl's illness is cured." Xiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

I just don't know if the time is too late.

He can only stay here for another two days at most.Two days may not be enough for him to absorb this knowledge and design a feasible operation plan.

Xiang Shan turned his attention to the last item sent by the Demon Cult.

It is said that this is the memory of the so-called "reopening the world and becoming a party of its own".The little poisonous insect didn't load these memories into his own hard drive, so Xiang Shan didn't know what was recorded in it.But the little poisonous insect is very fanatical about this memory.

It seems that there is indeed something that will shock the memory.After comparing the memories of Gliad and the little poisonous insect, he found that after the little poisonous insect got the contents of this hard drive, his whole person changed, and he became more and more addicted to studying the technology of the Demon Cult.

Xiangshan couldn't help but be careless.

Still, it's up to you to watch.
