Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

Chapter 38 The potential of prosthetic transformation (Friday early morning)
Lung problems are a short-term problem that can be solved with money——
This world will breed all kinds of scavengers, also known as Ka waist people, because of the high price of human organs.

Some people may ask, why is there still organ trading in a world with such advanced prosthetic technology?

Because the cyberpunk world is still one step away from true mechanical ascension, the entire world has experienced technological regression and epoch-making due to the collapse of the old network.

Therefore, most prosthetics have requirements for the quality of the original implanter, which can basically be divided into three attributes: "body", "reaction" and "intelligence".

These three attributes are usually used by prosthetists to judge the body's potential and decide whether some special implantable prostheses can be implanted.

Theoretically, only by implanting enough prosthetics can these "potentials" be converted into real values.

But conversely, only if the potential meets the requirements can it be possible for the prosthetic body to achieve the desired effect.

Synthetic lung lobes are a type of synthetic tissue used to increase the surface area of ​​the lungs. By increasing the surface area, the amount of oxygen taken in per unit time is increased, fundamentally improving the body's endurance.

However, if the implanter himself does not meet the requirements, the synthetic tissue will actually reduce the efficiency of the lungs.

Under what circumstances does it mean that the body does not meet the requirements?For example, if a guy is very weak, his intercostal muscles, abdominal muscles, pectoralis major and diaphragm muscles are not strong enough, and his chest expansion is not large, so the gas entering the lungs cannot reach the processing limit of the lungs.

It is impossible to exert the full functions of the native lungs, and adding synthetic lung lobes is useless because there is not enough oxygen for the body to absorb.

On the contrary, ineffective synthetic lung lobes will increase the burden on the lungs and may cause other health problems.

Lille's situation was different - although his muscles were weak, his lungs were even weaker.

Therefore, lung replacement can solve the urgent problem.

Lao Wei first changed the biometric monitor for Lille, and while changing it back, he explained the relevant knowledge points to Lille.

Jack now went out to discuss the price of the lizard with the priest, leaving only V - because V also had injuries to deal with.

V asked curiously: "Lao Wei, I didn't know this before, why didn't I hear you tell me about it?"

Lao Wei glanced at V: "Why don't you think about it yourself?"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that V himself cannot listen.
Not to mention Lao Wei's lectures to her, she didn't even want to read an instruction manual with more than 100 words.

So V smiled coquettishly and asked: "Then what are my three values ​​​​for you?"

Lao Wei said while checking the biological monitoring implanted in Lille's body: "Your data has not been updated for a long time. In my impression, the potential of the body and reaction are above 16."

"What about intelligence?"

"You'd better not know, it's enough anyway."

Lao Wei performed the last procedure and completely installed biological monitoring into Lear's body.

A new line of HUD appeared on Lille's prosthetic eye, and his blood pressure, blood lipids, weight and other basic information were displayed on it.

Laowei also thoughtfully added an advanced version of HUD to Lille, which will further display complex information such as white blood cell value, blood sugar concentration, red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, etc.

V pursed his lips: "Where is it? I guess his body is only 1."

"Uh, you guessed it right." Lear saw his poor physical value. In fact, even the reaction column was only barely 3.

No wonder I always feel that my body is not so fast and exaggerated after taking Sianwistan.

The physical body determines the overall body strength, and what determines the reaction mainly refers to the coordinated relationship between the central nervous system and neuromuscular.

Microscopically speaking, the response is mainly determined by indicators such as the number of neurons and synapses, a detail that implantable prostheses cannot achieve.

3 is the numerical value for ordinary people, and 1 is equivalent to Lear falling down with one push.

"Haha!" V mocked mercilessly, "Weak chicken!"

Lille said nothing because he saw that his intelligence column did not display a value.

The high intelligence index here does not mean that he is a figure like Newton Einstein, but it is mainly determined by the surface area of ​​the cerebral cortex and the activity of brain electrical signals.

The higher the value, the easier it is for the implant to use the brain to perform calculations, which is equivalent to the greater the computing memory of the computer.

It can be said that high intelligence does not mean that one will become someone like Newton, Einstein, or the hacker god Bartmos.

After all, there is no way to accurately quantify creativity and thinking ability, and in addition to talent, education is also an important indicator of a person's achievement.

But the intelligence of these characters must be above 20.

What Lao Wei means is already obvious, the test limit is 20, but this is meaningless to Lille.

What's more, in this world, superior talents can sometimes become curses - it would be great if Lille himself knew that.

Understanding what Lao Wei meant, Lille filled in the number 12 himself. While filling it in, he glanced at V:

I'm a weakling and you're mentally retarded.

Ding--
The doorbell of the clinic rang, and there was a commotion in the street outside - it was the arrival of an aerial vehicle.The aerial vehicle is not large and its appearance is not streamlined. Obviously, it is also an economical and practical type of aerial vehicle and is mainly used for transportation.

The font written on the side door indicates the company it belongs to: Moore Technology.

This is the arrival of the lungs and prosthesis that Lille bought for 30 euros.

A man in a suit carrying a black cargo box appeared at the door of the clinic, followed by two heavily armed bodyguards.

"Thank you for choosing Moore Technology this time. Mr. Lear, this is the preferred living organ and the latest synthetic lung tissue you purchased. In order to prevent installation accidents, the synthetic tissue has been installed in this living organ using the most appropriate method. superior.

In addition, there is also an artificial accessory heart and a blood-activating pump that you can purchase, which are made with the exclusive technology of Moore Technology to ensure that your heart never stops and the blood flows continuously.

You have chosen other installation methods. In view of the local security situation and your purchase option, our company is not responsible for the safety of the goods after signing for it.

Please sign for your goods. "

Living in 2077, online shopping is convenient.

It's just that Lille didn't expect Moore Technology to use aerial vehicles for transportation - it makes sense when you think about it. In addition to the 30 euros, he spent an additional 2000 euros on expedited transportation.

It would be cheaper to transport by car, but unfortunately there is a clause in the car transport terms: for Night City customers, we are not responsible for the goods once they are delivered.

Lille didn't dare to choose.

"It's such a big scene."

It was also the first time for V and Lao Wei to see this mode of transportation.

After signing for it, Lao Wei opened the goods worth 30 euros in a subtle mood.

If it were just an ordinary lung, you could buy it from the scavenger for tens of thousands of dollars, but what Lille wanted was different.

According to the standards just mentioned, the donor of this lung has a physical potential of 18, which makes him the best of the best.

There may be false marks, but they definitely meet the installation standards for synthetic lung lobes.

Of course, it may not be that high when it comes to Lille, and it may continue to decline.

All I can say is: hang on to your life as much as possible.

At the same time, according to Lao Wei's judgment, it is the lungs now, and the next acute failure is likely to be the heart. Lille had better be prepared.

The blood circulation pump will increase the blood flow rate to ensure that the blood circulation capacity can match the powerful breathing capacity of the new lungs as much as possible.

The accessory heart is prepared for extreme situations - for Lille, strenuous exercise may cause the organ to turn into acute failure at any time.

If the heart suddenly gives up its job, it will be hopeless.

The accessory heart can ensure that if his main heart stops beating, this top-notch prosthetic technology product can bring him back from the brink of death.

However, this is not a foolproof strategy, because Lille's body is very weak. If the main heart stops, the accessory heart may only be enough to survive for an extra hour or two.
"There may be some next steps." Lao Wei prepared to perform the implantation surgery.

As usual, he should comfort Lille, but he suddenly thought of the scene where he installed Sianwistan for Lille last time.

So he changed the topic and said: ". Boring, I will give you a copy of Prosthetic Doctor from Beginner to Master. You can watch it to relieve your boredom. You can also learn from it."

"Row."

Leal readily agreed.

The implantation of the prosthetic body was completed, and Lille and Lao Wei also determined how to deal with the Sianwei Stan in the spine——
Lear installed a power wall on it, but in fact it cannot be stopped once it is used. If it does this every time it encounters a problem, Lear will be buried next month.

So he decided to ask Lao Wei to fix the software system of this thing - there is no doubt that the driver of this Sian Westan is not the best version.

Of course, Lao Wei is not that awesome. He can easily complete the driver development of Sianwistan. The key is to limit the power of the prosthetic body.

This actually made Lao Wei take another high look at Lille, because few people would lower the power of the prosthetic body.

Using a powerful combat prosthetic body is like a mortal stealing the holy fire. Although powerful, one must also bear the sin.

For mortals, power is always an irresistible temptation, but Lille chose to temporarily seal this power and only use this thing as an artificial spine.

But hackers still have to be, so Lille decided to install a network access warehouse for himself.
Generally speaking, the Prosthetic Doctor's Manual has this sentence: Sianwei Stan and the network access warehouse cannot be installed together. The reason has been described in detail before.

But for Lille he has proven that the risk of losing control does not exist.

Coincidentally, when this idea was put into practice, Lao Wei discovered that this Sri Lankan Westan itself had an interface to plug into the core chip of the network access warehouse--
It was originally designed with an interface for bridging network access to the warehouse!
Only a slight change in the wiring is needed to open the link between the access warehouse chip and the cerebral cortex.
Completely breaks design guidelines.

Is it true that this prosthetic body was not originally designed to be a Sianwistan?

It's really weird.
