"I'm really sorry." Dr. Schultz kept apologizing while helping Xiang Shan put on a brand new prosthetic hand: "I'm really sorry. My uncle, he didn't mean that at the time. We are sorry for him.
Sir, you are naturally very grateful, but..."
"I understand." Xiangshan made a gesture with his newly replaced right hand, indicating that Dr. Schultz did not need to say any more. This hand originally belonged to the swordsman Longconi, and all parameters were far stronger than the ones he used before.
The garbage prosthetic hand also has an electromagnetic system in the palm, which can produce various linkages with the knife handle made of magnetic materials, making it possible to perform knife moves that cannot be accomplished with a human hand.
After the explanation, he understood what happened to the townspeople.
They can't bear to see this kind of picture of "directly destroying the biological brain". For them, this kind of crime picture itself is enough to trigger a stress reaction.
Directly destroying biological brains is a violation of the "Dyson Principle" and will cause those who break the ban to lose the protection of civilization and lose all human rights they can have in this era. In a sense, this is indeed more terrifying than the death penalty.
Punishment. Because death row prisoners also have basic human rights, it is ensured that he will not suffer punishment other than the "death penalty" itself [such as "abuse"]
But individuals who have lost the protection of civilization can do anything.
At the same time, everyone in this era believes that the "Father of All Machines" watches every individual equally.
Expressed in a non-religious discourse system, it is "there is a supreme dictator who can monitor everyone through anyone's visual prosthesis or monitoring system."
Although when Xiangshan destroyed Longconi's biological brain, Longconi was already attacking Xiangshan. Xiangshan may have been within the limit of "not violating the prohibition".
But most townspeople are not able to distinguish this in a hurry. Even if they can figure it out through thinking and explanations from others, they still felt strong fear "at the time" when the incident happened.
In fact, whether this matter can be regarded as "breaking the ban" depends entirely on the mood of the local arbiter.
This kind of incident in the zone between "breaking the ban" and "not breaking the ban" can arouse strong fear in everyone. They are very afraid that they will be watched and punished by the "Father of All Machines".
That doesn't "look like mass hysteria", that is the unique mass hysteria of this era - "fear of power".
"There are no specific legal provisions, and there are no precedents to cite or supplement. The regulations that seem to be extremely free actually indulge the power of the tyrant..." Xiang Shan lowered his head and pondered: "What the hell is the Dyson principle...
?”
He already knew the so-called Dyson Principle from Will Granddog's memory.
It can be said that the Dyson Principle is the only law and even the only morality in this era. It has only six articles, and there is even an "Article Zero" that does not stipulate any substantive content, and each article only has a small number of comments. In this
In this era, any behavior that does not violate Dyson's principles is regarded as "permitted".
Article 0: All individuals who do not explicitly refuse to abide by the Dyson Principles, or do not explicitly violate the principles, will abide by the Dyson Principles by default and accept the protection of civilization. The Dyson Principles are the only universal principles of human civilization. Anyone who does not violate the Dyson Principles
All actions are permitted.
Article 1: All humans have the obligation to maintain human genetic diversity. If you refuse this obligation, you will automatically lose the protection of civilization.
Article 2: It is prohibited to harm other people’s biological brains.
Article 3: It is prohibited to manufacture, use, and sell addictive drugs.
Article 4: Private property exists and is protected.
Article 5: Anyone is allowed and only allowed to establish an organization in the form of "an individual declares allegiance to another individual".
Only these six.
"Sounds like something that extreme liberals and anarchists would like. Especially the last one... Is this to prevent the emergence of a 'government', a 'collective' with its own will? It has this kind of political tendency
people..."
An image of a barbarian with a savage-like face suddenly appeared in Xiangshan's mind. This group of people may not necessarily believe in doomsday rumors such as "2012". However, they are inexplicably worried about various catastrophes, and they can't live a good life.
, voluntarily giving up the conveniences brought by modern civilization and insisting on establishing various survival bases. In addition, they generally do not trust others, like to form small gangs, and are extremely fond of talking about "survival".
For them, this is the embodiment of "free will".
Thinking of this, Xiang Shan felt as if a piece of his memory was missing. He seemed to remember... the period of survival in the wild... the green rainforest... and...
My memory is indeed too incomplete. Even if I find an opportunity, I can't recall them all.
The so-called "lords" are also not allowed to have an army. Those who seem to have highly consistent prosthetics are nominally free groups willing to follow the individual lord and be hired by the individual lord. And the officials under the lord are not organized into a system.
A civil servant, but a personal assistant to the lord. The lord does not even have the power to issue orders to the people in name. He only provides "civilized protection" and is the person who morally "should eliminate the thugs" - even whether the thugs want to be eliminated is the lord.
own freedom.
——Order in name only.
This is Xiang Shan’s view of this era.
Except for a few people related to the "human gene pool" derived from the first Dyson Principle, there is nothing that can be called "order" in this era. Everything has gone backwards...
Feudal era? Slave era?
No, it’s different. The imprint of modern technology already exists on human civilization and has profoundly affected this era. The tyrants of this era have technologies that the ancient tyrants did not have. Therefore, even such a messy "free" tyranny
, can also bind everyone.
The strong have the freedom to ravage the weak at will, and the weak theoretically have the freedom to resist, but they are unable to exercise this power due to limitations of physical conditions.
This era may seem free, but some people are undoubtedly freer than others.
"It is precisely because of this that the glory of chivalry on the earth will not be wiped out..." Xiang Shan thought this way.
It's a pity that Will's memory of the knights ends here.
It's strange to say. Logically speaking, if a person who has lost all memory rashly absorbs other people's memories, his personality will almost certainly be affected. But Xiangshan now finds that Will's memory has almost minimal impact on his personality. His way of thinking
There is no difference from what is recorded. It seems that Xiangshan’s forgotten memories are even bigger than he imagined, so huge that...
I don't know to what extent it is.
He must be a man with a lot of stories.
This made Xiangshan even more interested in memory storage devices. He now has several more memory storage devices. Some of them came from the giant man named "Leif", and the other part came from Paulus and Longke.
Anthony's memory storage device disappeared. It must have been picked up by someone.
Xiang Shan's trophies were recognized by the townspeople as "Xiang Shan's private property". They did not dare to touch them without permission, so they collected them all and gave them to Xiang Shan. Anthony was beaten to death by Leif, so someone got into trouble.
Xiangshan was too lazy to pursue this matter. It is said that Paulus Longconi and Anthony were very familiar and often walked around. Their knowledge of the world probably overlapped in large part. These three guys are not very good at martial arts.
, and Anthony is also a martial arts practitioner of Gun Pao Do. Xiangshan feels that he can also use Gun Pao Do martial arts, but he doesn't know how to use hot weapons, so he has no interest in Anthony's martial arts algorithms.
The only thing that made Xiang Shan feel regretful was that the memory storage device of the mysterious enemy that popped up at the end was completely burned and could not be recovered.
There is no doubt that he is a member of Leif's group, but Xiangshan just doesn't know what he is here for.
In addition, the prosthetic bodies of those people also belong to Xiangshan.
——You have to find time to absorb those memories... At least you have to know what the hell "Green Forest Road" is...
"...Hero? Hero?" Dr. Schultz's call interrupted Xiang Shan's thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Shan asked.
"Your left hand has been installed," Dr. Schultz said carefully.
Xiangshan jumped down from the console and looked at his arms. These arms originally belonged to the swordsman. The streamlined silver shell resembled a handicraft. It was incompatible with the crude armor on his body. But it was undeniable that these were good hands.
.The organic combination of classical power transmission and artificial muscle fibers makes these hands incredibly agile.
Xiangshan waved a few tentative circles. An explosion-like sound passed through Dr. Schultz's auditory system.
Dr. Schultz looked at Xiangshan with trepidation. Xiangshan was a full foot shorter than when he came to his house half a month ago. His legs were replaced with artificial muscle structures and reverse joints. This kind of
In this state, Xiangshan's legs are always in a "charged" state, and he can exert force at any time and accelerate to supersonic speeds in an instant. In addition, after adjusting his center of gravity in this way, Xiangshan can fall forward more easily, using his body.
Fight on the ground.
His outer armor was still the one forged in the village. It was covered with scars and probably wouldn't be able to withstand the next battle of the same intensity.
The head, torso, arms, and legs all seemed to come from different eras and different price points.
Xiangshan said to himself: "If I had these hands in the morning, I wouldn't have to sacrifice my prosthetic hands to borrow strength..."
"By the way, hero, there is one more thing..." Schultz said cautiously: "Enoch, who betrayed us, has escaped, but his friends and friends were all caught by us before they could escape. There is one more thing,
