Chapter 595 Gospel
Just as the two arrived home, Old Hu called at the opportune moment.
[Hehe! Little Nan didn't cause you any trouble, did she?]
"No, how could that be? She's well-behaved and polite. I really like this child."
【real? 】
Old Hu on the other end of the phone clearly thought Meng Lang was being sarcastic.
After all, he had acted first and informed others later, without seeking their consent beforehand.
Sigh! I originally thought that since you're short-staffed, I wanted to give your 'special talent' an extra layer of protection.
Now it seems completely unnecessary.
The fact that you were able to spot Xiao Nan so quickly shows that with a bodyguard of your caliber protecting her so closely, there's probably no one who can threaten her.
Okay, I'll have Xiao Nan come back tomorrow.
Mr. Hu expressed his helplessness, saying that he had originally planned to flex his muscles and clarify the matter in a couple of days, and then say something.
"Look, the people I sent are so close to the target and you didn't even notice. If they were sent by the enemy, how dangerous would it be for such important personnel?"
Then, it was only natural to place Xiaoyu under the joint protection of both parties.
Unexpectedly, Chu Nan, who had undergone hellish training in the special forces and whose overall performance was impeccable, was exposed at the first glance!
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian's face turned ashen.
He immediately declared that he would bring back Xiao Chu Nan, who was "not skilled enough," and subject him to grueling retraining.
Old Hu could only lament that he had underestimated the value of the "Great Hero of Guanzhong" while reluctantly choosing to recall Xiao Nan...
recall?
Why would you ask someone to take back a talent that's been handed to you?
Besides, how could the "Hidden Rain Village" be without Konan?!
"No, please! Since we're already here, I think Mr. Hu has been very thoughtful this time!"
I can't be in two places at once, so I think Xiao Nan is a perfect fit!
Of course, there are also things you haven't considered, for example...
If you're going to transfer schools, why transfer to the class next door? It's such a hassle!
In that case, you can talk to him again and ask him to transfer to another class, and it would be best if he could even sit next to you.
From now on, I can entrust my safety at school to Xiaonan!
【Uh……】
Mr. Hu on the other end of the phone was stunned for several seconds, as if trying to confirm whether the other party was being sarcastic.
Are you sure you don't need to ask for permission again?
"No need! I'm a bodyguard, so it's my decision how to protect you!"
Only after confirming repeatedly that Meng Lang was serious did Old Hu feel extremely ashamed.
You're judging a gentleman by your own petty standards...
Look at people!
Such important talent, and they are so open and honest as to entrust them with "joint protection," as if they don't consider them outsiders at all.
He was also secretly plotting and acting first, then informing her later...
How insignificant!
Brother Meng, we were too narrow-minded!
"How could that be? Sending Xiao Nan over here is enough to prove that you have a grand vision!"
Both parties were using the same communication channel, but were talking about content from different channels.
Everyone felt they had gotten a great deal, and without a doubt, this was yet another win-win situation for everyone...
"Since that's the case, then it's settled! By the way, 'Hamlet' is almost ready and will be launched soon."
Since you were the ones who sent the person here, I'd like to hear your opinions on how to arrange things afterward.
The "Hamlet" that Hu Lao mentioned is actually Iwasaki Hideyoshi's newly acquired "spy code name".
Hideyoshi Iwasaki's identity is now considered a "top secret" file in China, belonging to the highest level of espionage.
When communicating in daily life, one naturally needs to be discreet to avoid being overheard.
"Well……"
Logically speaking, although the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, the person is already in Old Hu's hands, so they can naturally make their own decisions on this matter.
But who can blame him when Meng Lang just boosted his reputation again?
Old Hu is clearly using this method to reciprocate kindness, showing that he doesn't intend to keep it all to himself and is willing to jointly develop this big pie.
Suspicion only breeds more suspicion.
Trust is a spiral, and mutual trust deepens continuously in this way...
He did not reply directly to Mr. Hu, but only indicated that he needed to consult with him.
After all, his current identity is that of an "18th-tier peripheral member of the organization's logistics department." If he casually replied to this kind of question over the phone, wouldn't that expose his "voice" within the organization?
Mr. Hu indeed thought it made perfect sense.
But before hanging up, he couldn't help but ask one more question.
How exactly did you discover Xiao Nan? Logically speaking, you've never met Xiao Nan before, and he's only 8 years old. No normal person would suspect anything, right?
He showed no hostility or murderous intent, so how was he seen through?
Could martial arts masters truly possess the ability to sense qi (vital energy)?
Meng Lang simply chuckled at this.
I can tell you, this isn't the first time he's done something like circling the murderer from the crowd in the very first volume of the comic.
When it comes to spoilers, they're professionals!
But this did serve as a reminder to him.
This time, it was because of a spoiler that Chu Nan appeared in his photo, allowing him to recognize the other person at a glance.
If an enemy were to try and assassinate me next time, I couldn't possibly use my autobiography as a "wanted poster" every time, could I?
It's important to know that besides their ocean behemoth tactics on the front lines, the Night Demons' favorite pastime is behind-enemy-lines assassinations and raids to eliminate humans who pose a threat to them.
This time, even their own legendary general, Gao Yuan, was not spared.
The organization's members do not know how many of them died in assassinations.
It seems necessary to develop a product as soon as possible.
Ideally, one should be able to list out the other person's identity, combat strength, affiliation, and other relevant information the moment they are seen...
For example, Zhao Hu, the assassin who was reformed by the Jinghai Welfare Home last time.
If such a thing existed, the alarm would go off as soon as a high-risk person got close, allowing for the risk to be avoided in advance!
If they were paired with a few more high-attack, high-health mechanical guards, what assassin could possibly get close to them?
Hmm... He doesn't lack information advantage, what he lacks is the special equipment to tap into that information advantage...
"Personnel identification" can be easily accomplished using the advantages of facial recognition and information retrieval technology...
But you can't always take out your phone, take a picture of a suspicious person passing by, and then have Zero tell you if that person is a threat, right?
But it seems...
I've heard that AR glasses are becoming popular on the market recently?
……
After issuing the relevant research and development instructions to Zero, Meng Lang began to ponder how to execute the "interventionist plan against Japan"...
His goal, naturally, was to move as much of the resources of Fusang, an island nation destined to "sink," into his own backyard to bolster his own strength, based on the principle of not wasting resources.
Although it is a small island nation, its advantageous maritime geographical location, coupled with its special political position at the crossroads of two major camps, has enabled it to develop in a way that it can not ignore in the world.
In 2018, it ranked 10th in the world in terms of population, 3rd in terms of manufacturing output (second only to the G2), and was among the top five in the world in terms of manufacturing competitiveness.
It has a monopolistic advantage, especially in the fields of high-end materials, high-precision CNC machine tools, semiconductors, optical instruments and automobile manufacturing, and its industrial robot production accounts for half of the world's total output.
This is undoubtedly a huge industrial pie!
Even though population is an indispensable labor resource.
Meng Lang even had the wicked idea of leaking the news before the final battle.
Using real-life disaster predictions to induce panic within Japan ahead of time!
In the event of a sudden turn of events, where can Japan's vast resources, technical personnel, and industrial equipment go?
What? You mean the other side of the ocean?
The ship that crossed the ocean would probably be sunk by the Night Demons and fed to the sharks halfway across.
Another possible option is Australia...
It has enough space and is sparsely populated, but unfortunately it is a large island nation.
Surrounded by the sea on all sides, lacking heavy industry, and militarily weak, it was destined to be the first to be destroyed by the Night Demon Clan...
As for the northern lands... their military strength might be sufficient, but that place has a weak foundation, is covered in ice and snow, and is simply not suitable for large-scale human activities.
Taking everything into consideration, where else can they go besides China, which has the advantage of proximity and the ability to take over?
Resources and equipment were absorbed on the spot, and the population was simply dumped into the desert and Gobi to promote the development of Northwest China. After a few generations, who would still remember the Fusang people?
Therefore, it cannot yet be considered a "sub-base" under actual control.
But Meng Lang had already considered Japan as part of his own family's meal.
However, this "swallowing" plan also needs an important figure to push it forward...
A high-ranking commander in the enemy's command center, the actual behind-the-scenes controller of the Mitsubishi Group, and the next head of the Iwasaki family... he is undoubtedly the best candidate!
After turning Tama to the side, Iwasaki Hideyoshi now has the first "familia" under his control.
The case of Chaoge is right there. As long as the Night Demon Clan doesn't take action, the chances of the other party ever escaping their control are almost zero!
However, to avoid unforeseen circumstances disrupting their plans, it's still necessary to take extra precautions for Iwasaki Hideyoshi...
Hmm... speaking of which...
The mechanical prosthetics from Changqing Bio should be almost finished by now...
Thinking about the daily, unwavering urging messages he'd received recently, Meng Lang couldn't help but purse his lips.
If this drags on any longer, Ning Shisan might really come knocking on our door demanding his unpaid wages...
……
Changqing Biological Research Institute.
"As you all see, this is a groundbreaking product jointly developed by our brain-computer interface laboratory and the White Night Robotics R&D Department!"
It employs world-leading neural connection technology, features a completely biomimetic structure, and is highly integrated with artificial intelligence algorithms.
By extracting nerve signals from the wearer's legs, the system identifies the wearer's movement intentions and translates those intentions into actions, thus enabling the wearer to move nimbly and intelligently, and move at will.
It has two knee joints, two ankle joints, 28 toe joints, and a total of 7.5 degrees of freedom, enabling it to perform almost all movements that the human body can do.
With these mechanical prostheses, even people with disabilities can move freely, and with artificial skin, they look no different from ordinary people.
In addition, its surface is equipped with a high-precision sensor network that covers the entire prosthesis, enabling precise feedback of tactile signals.
After evaluation, it can basically achieve a restoration accuracy of more than 75% for neural signals.
The wearer is able to experience almost all the same functions as a biological limb…
Sun Bin, deputy director of the research institute, excitedly introduced the "epoch-making product" lying on the test bench to Gao Yuan, Zheng Dalu, and other senior company executives—a pair of legs!
But these are not ordinary legs; they are mechanical prosthetics that gleam with a cold, metallic sheen!
Professor Zheng nodded repeatedly as he listened.
Great, great, the PowerPoint presentation is really well done!
What about driving degrees of freedom, what about tactile feedback signals, 75% neural fidelity, and almost all the functions of a biological limb...
That's some serious boasting...
Because I've been busy with anti-cancer technology during this period, the production and clinical work following the breakthroughs in anti-cancer technology has also been very demanding.
So although I've heard that the company did indeed establish some kind of "mechanical prosthetics project" some time ago.
However, since it was not his area of expertise, the laboratory led by the deputy director of the research institute in front of him was responsible for it.
Professor Zheng, as the director of the research institute, did not pay too much attention to the research and development progress.
After all, with the increase in research projects, it is impossible for him to personally participate deeply in every project.
Surprisingly, without making a sound, a finished product was actually made...
Hmm... and there are also PPTs that sound incredibly impressive.
I had heard that the deputy director in front of me seemed to be better at marketing and was a typical representative of the "trade-industry-technology" faction, but I never expected him to be this extreme.
Neural connection technology?
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Although he is not an expert in the field of brain-computer interfaces, he is still a proper university professor and has heard of some basic cutting-edge technologies.
Although the nerves controlling the legs are not as dense as those controlling the hands and brain, the nerve structure of the legs is relatively simple.
It only involves the sciatic nerve, cutaneous nerve, peroneal nerve, and tibial nerve.
Therefore, mechanical prosthetics for the legs are relatively easy to implement.
But it's only relatively easy!
Simple stimulation of nerves is sufficient for transmitting nerve signals.
He had never heard of any brain-computer interface lab that could produce mechanical prostheses to the extent shown in the PowerPoint presentation.
Not to mention that this product also involves cutting-edge neuroscience and mechanics.
Leaving aside the world-leading neural connection technology, it seems that no laboratory has ever actually created such a freely maneuverable leg-like bionic structure.
As a member of a sister company, he had naturally seen the "Guardian Series I" humanoid robot developed by Baiyeji.
Changqing Bio has now installed several delivery vehicles that will greet you as you pass by.
But... in his view, that's all.
This low-cost humanoid robot, with only a few supporting components, simple materials, and a small number of degrees of freedom, is incomparably more technologically advanced than the mechanical prosthetics shown in the PowerPoint presentation that can move flexibly.
This kind of simple material can be called a human-shaped useless person.
If it's something like a mechanical prosthetic limb that combines mobility and dexterity, you could call it a humanoid mecha's...legs...
If we could actually make this thing...
Theoretically, you could even actually build Gundam's legs!
However, after listening to the PowerPoint presentation, Gao Yuan only glanced at the three words "Ning Wuyue" in the "Clinical Volunteer" section of the document before smiling and signing the consent form.
"Very good! Now let's prepare for the first nerve reconnection surgery!"
I look forward to your achievements becoming a boon for people with disabilities…
