Chapter 167 Ji Xinghe’s Lies

Eu Yan came to the No. 9 living base from the military camp. The base on the star is currently the farthest from the frontline battlefield. From this perspective, Base No. 9 is the safest place on the alien planet.

Eu Yan has sacrificed a lot to become a mecha warrior, even at the risk of taking part in unknown experiments. In fact, he doesn’t think the risk is really great, after all, it’s just an experiment to make him a mecha warrior.

But when he actually came to the experimental site of the No. 9 base, and saw all the people who participated in this experiment like him, he knew that this experiment was very risky, because everyone involved in this experiment was very risky. None of the experimenters were mecha warriors.

It’s normal to not see Special Level and Level 1, they don’t need this kind of experimentation to improve mecha manipulation ability at all, but many Level 2 and Level 3 mecha warriors do. To be reasonable, let the Level 2 and Level 3 mecha warriors who can drive mecha themselves participate in this experiment and improve their strength, then the Federation will definitely be able to add a lot of Level 1 mecha warriors in a short period of time, and there will be many of them. Promoted to Special Level.

But there was not a single mecha warrior in the experimental site.

“Corporate Eu Yan, your serial number is 927.”

Are you the 927th person to participate in the experiment? Eu Yan did not see so many people in the laboratory area, only about three to four hundred people, so few of these people were people who participated in the experiment before, or were they already because of this experiment…

“Okay.”

Yu Yan, who had completed the physical examination and changed his clothes, was led by the relevant personnel to a room with the same structure as a ward. The area is very large, there are about fifty The beds are neat and tidy, some of which are already lying on the same participants as him.

The clothes they are wearing are very similar to hospital uniforms, which are completely different from the uniforms worn in the base under normal circumstances. Everyone wears a plastic bracelet on their hands, with only their respective numbers on them. Without any other functions, the communication bracelet has been taken away.

“927, please lie down.”

According to the instructions, Eu Yan lay on a bed, next to someone who looked more like a doctor than a researcher, from the cart next to him He took out a bottle of salt water-like medicine and started hanging acupuncture on Eu Yan, who had no disease.

Yu Yan, who stared at the hanging bottle with his eyes open, soon became sleepy and fell into a drowsy state, and when he woke up again, he felt the back of his neck was cold. Subconsciously, when I reached out to touch, I was stopped by the person next to me.

“Don’t touch it for the time being, because it hasn’t grown together with your flesh and blood. Touching it will make you feel pain, which will then affect your nervous system. The most serious consequence is paralysis. ”

Yu Ren’s movements stagnated, and he looked towards the white coat beside him with some panic.

“Don’t be nervous, the most dangerous stage of this experiment has been safely passed by you, and we have already tested it. Your adaptation rate is very high, which is unexpectedly high. The white coat looked at Yu Yan and said with a smile: “Please come with me.”

Yu Yan stood up, and his movements were not affected by what was on the back of his neck, except for the cold Outside of the feeling, it’s like nothing has changed.

In the process of leaving the ward-like room, he finally saw what was more on the back of his neck and how it came from.

Not the back of his own neck, but the back of someone else’s neck.

On a hospital bed that passed by, a person who was under anesthesia had his body fixed by a restraint belt, and his symptoms were turned over under the operation of the person next to him. A gap appeared at the bottom of the bed, exposing the back of his head.

After shaving and sterilizing, an intelligent robotic arm slowly pressed on the back of the head, leaving behind a circular metal device like a chip, about five centimeters in diameter.

“Don’t be nervous, this first stage is very risky, but so far has not caused anyone to die.”

“What the hell is that thing?”

“Brain-computer interface.”

The white coat leading Eu Yan was from Yingzhou, and he introduced in a low voice while leading the way.

“You have successfully installed the brain-computer interface, and you can know more about this experiment. I will give you a general introduction, if you don’t understand or want to know more details You can ask questions after my introduction.”

“Okay.”

“The experiment you participated in is Project Ares, which we generally call War God’s plan, in simple terms, is to create the most powerful mecha warriors to help us win this war.”

The white coat paused slightly and continued: “The essence is to use neural link technology. Come to drive mecha, after installing the brain-computer interface, combined with the brand-new mecha cockpit, in theory, driving mecha will no longer have any operational difficulties, and everyone can become a real mecha warrior. Because, when you enter the new generation of mecha cockpit, no matter what you do, the mecha will make the exact same movement immediately, you control the mecha just like you control your hands and feet, make non-essential actions Standard tactical maneuvers are as easy as the blink of an eye.”

Eu Yan was shocked: “It’s that easy?”

He trained nearly as a mecha warrior For ten years, he has been unable to pass the relevant exams. Now he can become a real mecha warrior by just installing a brain-computer interface on his head?

It’s definitely good news, but it’s a bit of a bittersweet one, because it means that his previous ten years of hard work mean nothing.

“It’s only in theory.” The white coat explained: “mecha is not a human body after all. Because of its mechanical structure, many of the actions that we humans can do with mecha cannot be done. When you seem to control yourself, When you control the mecha like your body, the first thing you need to do is to maintain the center of gravity. This is actually very difficult. Many people who participated in the experiment before were unable to do this. When driving the mecha, you can’t fight at all, just walk a few steps. It will fall directly.”

“Apart from this, mecha can also perform some actions that our human body can’t do. If you don’t have a way to be familiar with the mecha you are driving, you will not be able to perform as a mecha. Therefore, we hope that people like you can succeed.”

Eu Ren said, “A person like me?”

“Your nervous system is very strong, This is a prerequisite for participating in the War God program. For many years in the past, you have been training your mecha driving skills hard, and are familiar with almost all standard mecha in our federation. Although the test has never been passed, but that only It can show that you are handicapped and not mentally handicapped, and now you don’t need to use your hands to drive the mecha, so the handicap is not a problem.”

Handicapped.

Eu Yan is a little embarrassed. Although the existing mecha driving method uses more intelligent technologies such as brain wave sensing and voice control, it mainly relies on the control of joysticks and pedals with hands and feet. Manipulation of mecha.

The flexibility of the opponent’s feet is very high, and because of the height of the mecha’s angle of view and the 360-degree angle of view, the requirements for the coordination of the opponent’s eyes are also very high.

And so on, these are the reasons why Eu Yan was unable to pass the exam.

“Then why not let the real mecha warriors participate in this experiment?” Yu Yan asked: “They must know more about mecha than me, they are used to driving mecha, Impossible is the situation where the center of gravity cannot be controlled, or the mecha does not know what actions the mecha can or cannot do.”

“I just said that the strength of the neural system is a prerequisite and the most important thing. Important conditions.” The white coat explained: “Our mecha warriors are very good, very good, but not all of them have strong neural systems. In theory, they can actually participate in this plan, but in order to To achieve better results, we must determine the most suitable person through physical examination, which has to mention the word synchronization rate.”

“Sync rate?”

“Yes, the synchronization rate.”

The white lab coat took Yu Yan through the two metal gates, constantly brushing the authorization authentication.

“The specific interpretation of the synchronization rate, you can understand it through the operation manual later, I will briefly tell you first, it can be roughly understood as: when your thoughts become the specific actions of the mecha you are driving, The time it takes and the accuracy of the action are comprehensively judged. The higher the synchronization rate, the better. If it can reach 100%, then it is equivalent to completely treat mecha as your body, and use your favorite from Longzhou people. One word to describe it, that is the integration of man and machine.”

Eu Yan probably understood, and curiously asked: “Is it possible to have a higher synchronization rate than 100%?”

“How is that possible, the full score is 100%, and you can still get 101 points in the test?” The white coat laughed and said, “Don’t say 100% synchronization rate, as long as you can achieve 80% synchronization rate, then you Through this program, we can truly become a new generation of mecha warriors.”

“80% is enough?” Eu Yan became confident.

“Don’t underestimate the synchronization rate of 80%. At present, all our experimenters who have reached the synchronization rate test stage have only achieved a synchronization rate of 86%. The synchronization rate of most people They are all around 70%, unfortunately, they were all screened out.”

“Screened out?” Eu Yan subconsciously wanted to touch the back of his head, but forced himself to stop and ask Said: “Then will the thing behind their head be removed? Will there be a scar or a hole after removing it?” trembling.

“It won’t be removed, because it will leave a hole and damage the nerves. At present, our technology cannot completely repair the damaged body and nerves, so , which is also one of the risks of this experiment.”

Hearing this answer, Eu Yan made up his mind that he must pass the test, or he would be too terrifying.

“However, our brain-computer interface technology is still under research, and this is only the first generation of products. If the research on the next-generation brain-computer interface goes well, according to our design, it will not be directly built into the human body. Instead, it is attached to the back of the head like a patch.”

“How long will it take?”

“If it goes well, it will be a year or two.”

“Then why not wait?”

“Because we don’t have that much time.”

“…”

The two finally arrived at their destination, a very wide area where the six mechas were most prominently parked. But Eu Yan was not brought next to mecha, but was brought next to an oval-shaped metal body. There are sixty such oval-shaped metal bodies in this area, all about one meter five in height. Lines and metal pipes.

“This is the new generation of mecha cockpit. Get ready, go in and do a simulated operation experiment later.” Door.

“Okay.”

Yu Ren looked towards the interior of the cockpit, his expression became surprised, because there was nothing but a helmet inside, and some were too short, At a height of 1.5 meters, he could not stand up straight inside.

“When you get in and put your helmet on, we’ll inject a buffer. This special fluid can improve your ability to resist overloading and mecha collisions. Roll up your body and keep yourself Just think of a comfortable position. You need to be careful not to control your hands and feet and focus on the control of the mecha.”

“Okay.”

Yu Yan is ready to enter it. Although it is only a cockpit, he has used the second-generation simulation system many times and knows without asking. This is a technology similar to simulated driving.

When the white coat was ready to let Yu Yan in, Yu Yan suddenly thought of a question.

“If you are a peerless expert like Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, if you use this driving mode, will your battle strength break the table? Mecha knows martial arts, and no one can stop it.”

“Lieutenant Ji Xinghe?”

“Yes, that is the oldest Special Level mecha warrior, he is very skilled and can drive mecha, this kind of driving is just tailor-made for him Yeah.”

“I’ve heard of him, and in theory this driving mode is really suitable for someone like him, but the problem is…he’s too old and his nervous system is degraded .We have done related experiments. In the test, the best result of the experimenter of his age is only 30% synchronization rate.”

Yu Yan was stunned, the 80% synchronization rate was not achieved. If Fa passed this experiment, the 30% synchronization rate would definitely not have the chance to participate in the experiment.

The white coat continued: “After our experiment is successful, all the mecha cockpits will be gradually replaced. You have to get used to this driving style as soon as possible, because it will not take long for you to become us. The main mecha warrior. Maybe, you will become a new Special Level, or even a new ace.”

“All? Replace?”

Eu Yan’s mind was completely Without the assumption that he would become a Special Level and an ace, he thought of the explanation given to him by Ji Xinghe, who was desperate for money. Now it seems that it may be a lie.

As a Special Level mecha warrior and a professional mechanic, Ji Xinghe probably knew about this experiment a long time ago and knew that in the future, all mecha cockpits would be replaced with brain machines This kind of interface, as a mechanic, he may even replace the cockpit of his mecha by himself.

This is cruel.

Because after the replacement, Ji Xinghe can no longer drive the mecha. That’s why he died asking for money, his selfish reason to leave a legacy to his granddaughter is just an excuse for him to keep driving mecha.

“Is it possible?” Yu Yan, who was standing at the door of the cockpit, did not go in, but looked at the white coat seriously and said, “You arrange a test for Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, maybe his Would the synchronization rate be higher than you think?”
