Overturned Tower

Although the aunt is still enthusiastically trying to persuade her to stay, saying something like at least coming back for a meal in the evening...

But Russell knew that if he stayed to eat at night, he might have to eat too late and sleep.

He is very close to Delphinium's father - they are both cat spirit relatives, and they exchanged their real names on the first night, even earlier than Delphinium.

Delphinium's father's real name is Hermann, and the specific breed he expresses is a ragdoll cat.

It was a large cat with a good temper.

Unlike Delphinium's grandfather, his spiritual symptoms are milder.

Delphinium's extraordinary and exquisite beauty should have been inherited from him...at least her jewel-like light blue pupils must have been inherited from her father.

If Delphinium hadn't told Russell before, Russell would never have realized that her father was a worker... Herman didn't smoke or drink, and wore thick black-rimmed glasses. He looked like he was very rich. He is knowledgeable and has a good temper.

But in fact, Herman went to work without even going to college.

Before Delphinium entered the Special Operations Department, Herman worked in a small company affiliated with Thoth Psychics, responsible for the assembly of customized prostheses - some customers had special modification needs for prostheses, such as not being tall enough. The height, arm length is not long enough, or the muscle strength is insufficient to bear the heavy prosthetic body. As for the replacement of coating and spray painting, it is a common need.

There are also some special requirements...such as combining two prostheses of different brands, or making them compatible.

The production company will definitely not consider these needs, and at most they will prepare a few models of replaceable parts. And everyone's needs are different, and you have to confirm and modify the customer repeatedly - if you think about it, you will know that it is a very easy to get frustrated and quite tiring job.

Moreover, as an ordinary technician in the downstream adaptation industry of the prosthetic industry, his skills are not that good and his income is not very high.

However, after Delphinium entered the Special Enforcement Department...her father's job was also transferred.

He currently works in the Devices and Equipment Department of Tianen Group, serving as the product manager of the project team "Internal Equipment Production and Adjustment Related to the Execution Department." The prosthetic body now equipped on Delphinium is the version modified by her father.

This is a special employee benefit, and it can also be understood as a "hostage".

Although his technical level is not very high, because he comes from the front line, he is particularly considerate of his subordinates. He also knew very well that his existence had nothing to do with him. It was purely because of his daughter... Therefore, he had no temper or airs to speak of.

Compared with Tian'en Group, the best people in Happy Island, he deeply felt that his knowledge level was far from enough, and being their leader would probably lead to troubles caused by an amateur commanding an expert. So when he had nothing to do, he read and studied to improve himself, and often asked his subordinates for advice... Among the theories of prosthetics, the most valuable and worthy of learning are the many theories invented by Sally Ruth. It laid the foundation of prosthetics.

Because of this, he highly respected Russell. When the two get together, Herman will ask Russell some questions enthusiastically and seriously, and Russell is also the type who doesn't mind sharing knowledge at all.

After a discussion between the two, they discovered that their genres and academic tendencies were even the same—in other words, they both inherited Sally Ruth's style.

Sally Ruth style means that it is neither imitative nor inconsistent.

For example, the simulated beautifying prosthesis used by Xiao Liuli...the contact lens-style prosthetic eyes, the delicate and smooth artificial skin, and the size-adjustable breasts are all designed to prevent people from noticing that this is a prosthetic body.

The latter is the kind of prosthetic head commonly used by bodyguards, security guards and thugs of the Veil of Ignorance. In order to prevent headshots, the head was modified and completely mechanized. The resistance to blunt force damage is greatly improved, and it can also block many small bullet attacks. At the same time, it can bypass the limit of human vision, improve the true vision to a spherical shape, greatly improve hearing, and be immune to sonic booms and shock attacks. It also has its own air purification device and can be immune to many poisonous gases and smoke.

This can be said to be a very practical and extreme transformation. It avoids almost all the weaknesses of the human head and greatly enhances all performance.

The price paid is that the head will never be replaced with a normal head again... because this transformation is accompanied by the spine, transforming the spine into a more advanced mechanized spine. If you lose your spinal cord and switch to a mechanical high-energy hematopoietic organ, you will never be able to replace it again.

This kind of transformation is the overly exaggerated and inconsistent "Shenzhi Heavy Industry" feature, which emphasizes mechanical performance and practicality above all else. Humans should actively adapt to machines that evolve faster than humans, not the other way around.

Sally Ruth believes that if prosthetics develops in the former direction, always emphasizing beauty and simulation, artificial intelligence that cannot be recognized among humans may eventually appear. It may also make human beings become more and more homogeneous, and everyone's self-modification will eventually become a trend, which means a dislike of human beings themselves... This is exactly what prosthetics "makes human beings different, let a hundred flowers bloom, and give full play to their advantages." , make up for shortcomings" is the opposite result.

And if we develop towards the latter, always emphasizing performance, people will eventually abandon their frail bodies and turn into pure and cold machines.

Either way deviates from Sally Ruth's original intention.

For prosthetic body modification, the basic design bottom line should be “can be seen at a glance but does not affect the beauty”. It is human complementation, not optimization and disguise.

Although the concept of this format is mainstream, it is not too common in Happy Island.

——Because it is easier for security guards and bodyguards who can accept head modification to find jobs than those who cannot accept it.

A person who is not afraid of direct attacks on the back of the head from smoke bombs, poison gas, shock bombs, anti-explosion sprays, small-caliber bullet headshots, sticks and other blunt instruments. It has a 360-degree spherical field of vision, a sound pickup range of more than fifty meters, and can record and record video around the clock. Security guard... Anyway, he feels much safer than normal security guards.

Such a security guard, to put it mildly, can stand up to a team of security guards of the same level.

In the same way, for professions such as idols, singers, and actors that require publicity, simulation and beauty prostheses are in urgent need.

In any case, what looks good is good, and what doesn’t look good is bad—correctness cannot deceive aesthetics. No matter what, the number of fans of an idol who has undergone cosmetic transformation is several times or ten times more than that of an idol who has not undergone transformation... Not to mention, physical functions that are close to talents such as singing and dancing can also be compensated by prosthetics.

Herman also knows that no matter how much you emphasize that the development of this industry is unhealthy... it will definitely harm everyone in the long run, but since it already exists and there is a market, there is no way to stop people from buying and using it. .

In other words, this inevitable "priority purchase and use" itself is already the initial manifestation of its "harmfulness".

People who do not use such extreme prosthetics cannot compete for jobs with people of the same level... Although it is still in the initial acceleration stage, it has actually begun a snowball-like involution.

When everyone has modified their head prostheses, this will no longer be an advantage - next is the modification of the kidneys and liver, so that people don't have to sleep; then there is the modification of glands, so that people can burst out with stronger energy. strength……

Herman had obviously held it in for too long.

His point is correct. But because he was too sober, he couldn't find the same kind.

Russell is the first.

On the first night they met, Herman introduced Russell as a confidant. And Russell also has a good impression of this gentle and elegant big cat with black-rimmed glasses.

If Delphinium's mother hadn't been worried about affecting Russell's rest, I'm afraid they would have talked for a long time last night.

"It's not like I won't come back," Russell comforted. "If I'm free in the future, I'll come as a guest when Uncle Herman gets off work in the evening."

One of the reasons why Russell is running away now is because... when Herman comes back from get off work, he may not be able to run so easily.

They chatted until late at night, and it would be disrespectful to let him go home by himself at this time - so he had to sleep at Delphinium's house.

Russell is also a little embarrassed about always occupying Delphinium's bed...

Although he was worried about being infected with his own smell, he had borrowed Delphinium's bathroom to take a bath twice since he woke up yesterday morning... But compared to Delphinium's keen sense of smell, this was still difficult to eradicate.

I heard that people who are close to canines are very territorial. Russell didn't know how far Delphinium had become spiritually related, and he was a little worried that it would make her angry, so he was a little uneasy.

Russell, on the other hand, had things he had to go home to do.

That is to go to the dream world.

It was really inconvenient for him to enter the dream world in Delphinium's house - in any case, it seemed too sinful to sleep with his hands and feet tied, eyes and mouth covered in someone else's house.

He was not worried about not feeling safe. He was mainly worried that if Delphinium came in and took a look at him in the middle of the night, he would think he was a pervert...

Counting July 31st, the "Barber" has not appeared from the dream world for two days. Because he doesn't know the way, Strangler will definitely not leave him alone... He is worried that Russell will enter the dream world, so he will definitely come up every night to take a look.

This means that the lion has been waiting in the same area for two days.

As it stays, the intensity of the shadow will gradually increase. For the safety of the strangulation, he had to go to the Dream World today.

Say hello to the strangulation. By the way, I'd like to ask Strangler, how is the plan on Malt Liquor's side going?

They were almost reaching the area where the strangled mentor was.

If you're lucky, you'll see the old mage soon.
