Living Base No. 5.

Su He took advantage of Chen Mu to go to the toilet and came over.

"Damn it, you are sick. Even if I am pressed for time, I won't be so nervous."

"You are the only one who is sick. Can't I just come over and use the toilet?"

"Okay, okay, the camera is in your hand, you can say whatever you want."

"Who would bring a camera with them when they go to the toilet? Will you?"

"I won't."

After a few words, Su He couldn't help but started asking questions.

"Have you ever heard of neural link technology?"

"I've heard of it, what's the matter?"

"If neural link technology achieves a breakthrough, Lao Ji, will it not work?"

"Ah? Why do you ask?"

"Just say it's okay."

Su He's question made Shen Mu think deeply. As a professional and technical lieutenant mechanic, he has been called a genius since he was a child. He was specially recruited into the Mecha Research Institute of the Federal Academy of Sciences for further study before he graduated from university. When I first joined the army, I got the rank of second lieutenant.

Therefore, in terms of professional issues such as mecha maintenance, research and development, and manufacturing, he is more than one level better than Ji Xinghe. Without him, Xingyue would not be able to successfully build it.

"Theoretically, it's like this. If it's the kind of neural link technology I know...it can't be said that Lao Ji is dead. His ability to drive mechas is no different from what it is now, and it won't become weaker. But Now that the strength of all the mecha warriors who can use this technology has been enhanced, it can indeed be said that Lao Ji is doomed."

Su He asked in confusion: "Why? Can't Lao Ji use this technique? Can't he become stronger?"

"Because of age, as age increases, the nervous system will begin to degenerate, which is irreversible under the current level of science and technology." After Shen Mu explained, he felt that Su He might not understand, so he changed a method. Let’s talk.

"Lao Su, you can drive."

"nonsense."

"People's mental will and thinking can be compared to the driver of a car, and the human body is the car. Lao Ji's car has aged and fallen behind, but because he is the driver and his mental will is very strong, He also attaches great importance to the maintenance of this car, so he can still drive his old car on the track and compete with real professional racing drivers. Do you understand when I say this?"

Su He nodded, but because the two were in different compartments, Shen Mu couldn't see it.

"I understand. According to what you said, the bodies of young mecha warriors are equivalent to the latest sports cars or the most advanced formula racing cars. Therefore, their skills may not be as good as those of Lao Ji, but they are really When compared on the field, they can drive faster than Lao Ji."

"That's it." Shen Mu sighed: "In a sense, neural link technology makes the vehicles owned by young mecha warriors more powerful. But this technology cannot be applied in Ji Xinghe is an old car, so he may become incompetent."

Su He was silent for a moment and then asked: "Is there any way to solve this problem?"

"There is no way." Shen Mu answered without any hesitation, and then explained: "The difference between the central nervous system and other organs is that its cells cannot be regenerated. The number of nerve cells will decrease with normal aging. The brains of the elderly Compared with when you were young, the number of nerve cells will decrease by 10% to 30%, as well as the number of cerebral cortex, pyramidal cell dendrites, dendritic ridges and synapses...etc., uh, professional related Explain, I’ll go back and find a paper for you. You can read it yourself then, and I’ll explain it to you directly.”

"As people age, the conduction speed of motor and sensory fibers slows down, and the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of various neurotransmitters in the human brain decreases. The specific manifestations are memory loss, movement disorders, tremor paralysis, poor sleep, mental depression or Symptoms such as mania.”

Su He asked puzzledly: "But I don't have these symptoms."

"Really?" Shen Mu asked back: "Do you still remember that Lao Ji was holding the lame man in one hand and another first-level mecha warrior in the other hand? Then he asked Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, instructor, what are you doing? select?"

Su He thought of that scene. At that time, he felt that Lao Ji was too impulsive. If Lao Ji hadn't been old and made Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun very tolerant, Lao Ji would have been punished by military law just for those words.

"All in all, Lao Ji is indeed very strong, but as I said just now, his strength is only because of his strong mental will. He practices martial arts all year round so his physical functions are maintained very well. But this kind of aging is really irreversible. of."

After Chen Mu finished pulling, he started to stand up. While lifting his pants, he said to Su He: "If it is the kind of neural link technology I know, then even if Lao Ji successfully built-in the brain-computer interface, he would not be able to control it. His body can also control the mecha. His aging nervous system cannot bear it, and only young people can."

"Brain-computer interface?"

"Well, brain-computer interface, install an interface on the back of your head and link it with the mecha's operating system. This is how the mecha drives after the application of neural link technology." Shen Mu's movement to open the toilet door paused for a moment. , and then continued: "There is one thing I haven't mentioned just now. As people age, their autonomic nerves will also undergo corresponding changes. They are no longer controlled by subjective will. The autonomic nerve function of the human body will be disordered, leading to various visceral dysfunctions. , such as the number of heart beats, the number of gastrointestinal peristalsis, etc.”

Su He frowned and asked: "I'm not old and I can't control my autonomic nervous system. I can't control the heartbeat and gastrointestinal tract you mentioned."

"Just because you don't know you can control it, doesn't mean you really can't control it." Shen Mu asked, "Do you need to actively control when you breathe?"

"No need."

"Normally you don't need to, but when I ask you this question, when you think that you need to breathe, you need to control your breathing. It's like changing from automatic to manual when driving, right? so?"

Su He had already started to control his breathing and said blankly: "That's it."

"The heart and other internal organs are actually the same. They are all controlled by our subjective will. It's just that you can understand this control as automatic transmission. For specific details, you can ask relevant experts." Shen Mu finally opened the toilet door and left. When he came out, he said: "This autonomic nervous system disorder is the reason why I said that Lao Ji cannot use this technique. He has practiced kung fu for fifty-five years, so he can continue to control his body after he gets old. But he has never piloted a 55-year-old mecha."

Creak.

Su He opened the toilet door and walked out with an ugly expression.

Chen Mu glanced at Su He's waistband: "You really came to me while I was going to the toilet. You didn't come to poop at all."

"Isn't it okay if I didn't pull it out?" Su He was in a bad mood.

"Okay, okay, I've already said it. You can use the camera and say whatever you want." Shen Mu didn't mean to argue, and his expression became serious: "Why are you asking me these?"

Su He sighed: "Actually, you have already guessed it, why bother asking me again."

Shen Mu had indeed guessed that he had known for a long time that this technology would make breakthrough progress, as can be seen from the mechanical eyes of the blind man, the mechanical legs of the lame man, and the robotic hand of the left hand, which are also mechanical prostheses that also use neural link technology.

"But isn't this a good thing?" Shen Mu asked puzzledly: "Old Ji is so old, we can't let him drive mechas to fight all the time. It is our young people's job to protect our homes and our country. Also, Xinxin, in about another year, Xinxin's treatment will be completed, and then Lao Ji will take Xinxin to live on the Blue Star, and he won't need to pilot a mecha."

"I also hope that Lao Ji will take Xinxin back to the Blue Star." Su He said in a low mood: "But haven't you noticed that Lao Ji has actually never forgotten the matter of revenge?"

Chen Mu fell silent.

He knew that Ji Xinghe had always wanted revenge. Everyone who knew Ji Xinghe knew it, and Ji Rong Xinyue also knew it.

Otherwise, why would Ji Xinghe let the relatively safe life of Base 5 go and take risks to fight?

If it is just to help win this war, is the role that a professional-level mechanic can play, and the role that a peerless master can play as an instructor, really smaller than the role that a super-class mecha warrior can play when fighting? ?

"There's nothing we can do about it." Chen Mu turned and walked outside the toilet: "I really can't help Lao Ji with this matter. No one can help him. Unless..."

Su He chased after him: "Unless what?"

"Unless the neural link technology achieves a higher-level breakthrough, which can transform Laoji into a complete and powerful nervous system, such a breakthrough will not be completed in a hundred or two hundred years, but Laoji will not be able to survive that time. .”

"Nonsense, Lao Ji will definitely not be able to survive that time, and neither can we. Lao Ji is a martial arts practitioner, not a cultivator."

"Now I hope that Lao Ji is a cultivator. I heard that cultivating immortals can make people younger, and the aging of the nervous system can definitely be reversed. Then Lao Ji can use the neural link technology."

"If I am a cultivator, do I still need neural link technology? Do I still need to activate a mecha? Isn't sword control a good thing?"

"If that day comes, I won't be able to wield a sword. He will definitely be able to wield a sword, because he can't use a sword."

"Lao Ji knows how to use a sword. His weapon has been replaced by a sword. Have you heard of tungsten steel?"

"Damn it, it's real or fake. Ordinary empire-standard mechas will only end up being chopped up and chopped down when faced with that thing."

"Really, I stole a mecha heavy sword made of tungsten steel."

"Hiss... Earl-level mecha or Marquis-level mecha?"

"Count level."

"Damn it, old Ji Niu, when will he come back, I can help him change the sword into a sword. If it is the Eight-Zhan Dao he likes, one heavy sword is enough to transform into two."

"It will take about a week. He is currently repairing mechas in a certain military camp."

"Contact him for me and ask him to bring the sword back. The equipment in the military camp is insufficient and cannot be modified. Our base can modify it."

"Then let me talk to him."

…

Ji Xinghe, who was repairing the mecha, received a message from Su He, saying that Ji Rong Xinyue was well and brought Ji Rong Xinyue's greetings, and also brought Shen Mu's suggestions.

This made Ji Xinghe very happy, because he himself didn't know how to modify the mecha epee, so he still needed a real professional, Shen Mu, to do it.

He does know how to use a sword, but he is better at using knives, especially the Hachizan Sword. In the past, due to the mismatch of weapons, his strength was not brought into full play.

But the heavy sword that has been held by his mecha has not been put down. He cannot leave the military camp now, and he will not put down the sword before he leaves because he is being suppressed.

Team Xinghe had already left, and they were going to another battlefield, but Ji Xinghe, the captain of Team Xinghe, failed to follow. From this point of view, the suppression he encountered was obvious.

In terms of his strength, he would definitely be able to obtain gold stars faster on the battlefield than the blind man and the lame man, even if the two of them not only had the help of the Galaxy team, but also the help of the other two mecha teams.

He can even obtain gold stars faster than special-level players like Jackson and Han Li. In terms of strength, Jackson and Han Li are stronger than Ji Xinghe based on their mecha performance.

But they won't fight like Ji Xinghe.

Ji Xinghe is willing to fight, but he doesn't want to die, so his battles are essentially about the strong attacking the weak.

Han Li, Jackson, and other super mecha warriors whose strength is equal to or surpass Ji Xinghe's will only use strong attacks to make them stronger and weak attacks to make them stronger in battle.

This is a responsibility and obligation that they are willing to bear, and it is a responsibility and obligation that Ji Xinghe is unwilling to bear.

Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why Ji Xinghe was suppressed.

Since you are unwilling to take on more responsibilities and obligations, why should we give you more resources and merits?

The message from Su He bluntly stated some of what Major General Tu Yuan said, confirming Ji Xinghe's analysis and speculation about his being suppressed.

But so what?

Ji Xinghe will not change for anyone except Ji Rongxinyue. He once could change for another person, but that person has left this world.

"The actual machine test is completed."
