Although he didn't have much hope in the first place, Xia Xu was still a little disappointed when he got this answer.
From a plot logic point of view, the final big boss like the Wolf Giant and the protagonist Hong Yan are naturally unique and difficult to recreate, at least in the short term, unless it is a sequel or something.
Even from normal logic, the fact that the wolf giant is so powerful, apart from the specially prepared giant glands, is mainly due to the transformation of the deteriorated steel skeleton that is indestructible and can control growth to a small extent. Before mastering that kind of steel skeleton transformation technology, it would be natural
It is impossible to copy.
Hong Yan was just as Gu Haiming said, if the Gardner organization really had perfected systematic manufacturing technology, then they wouldn't have to capture him alive.
The Gardner organization wants to capture Hong Yan alive, which proves that they can no longer replicate this miracle, so they urgently need this successful model for reference, and this perfect creation born of accident is needed for research.
"What if you let him and Gardner's original research team cooperate with you? Are you sure you can restore this technology?"
Xia Xu asked.
"he?"
Gu Haiming was startled for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Boss, could it be that you brought back the perfect experimental subject mentioned in the information?"
Xia Xu nodded: "Well, as for Dr. Cui, he should be a little resistant to this kind of experiment. Let Dr. Cui have some contact with it for the time being."
"Great, with this successful example as a reference, it should be no problem to reversely deduce the transformation technology. Gardner still has the original transformation record."
Gu Haiming was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't wait to go to the hospital to find Cui Xinghua.
"Wait, don't worry yet."
Xia Xu helplessly stopped Gu Haiming and said, "Dr. Gu, besides asking for information this time, I also have an idea. I hope you will read it in detail and see if it can be realized."
"Oh? What do you think?"
Gu Haiming looked doubtful.
"Let's go see the wolf giant first."
Xia Xu smiled slightly, and then he let Gu Haiming go to the laboratory where the wolf giant was kept.
This laboratory was specially built to contain and study dangerous creatures. The entire wall is made of a finger-thick alloy. The four sides are normally made of high-strength glass for easy observation. A layer of alloy plates can be placed at any time as a precaution.
The interior is actually a sunken space, like a colosseum. Standing outside the laboratory, you can look down at the interior through the glass windows. When you enter, there is also a ring of high platforms.
At this moment, the wolf giant was imprisoned below, and his entire body was tightly restrained on a test bench. The limbs that had been severed had suddenly regrown.
The combination of lycanthropy, the self-healing growth of giant glands, and the transformation of degraded steel bones that can control bone growth, makes it seem that it is a very simple matter for the wolf giant to regenerate its severed limbs.
"Could it be that the idea you mentioned has something to do with it?"
Gu Haiming followed Xia Xu into it without knowing why, and stood on the circular high platform looking down at the wolf giant below.
"Roar!!"
The wolf giant seemed to have noticed the arrival of Xia Xu and Gu Haiming, especially Xia Xu. With its keen sense of smell, it instantly recognized the aura of this enemy, and struggled crazily with red eyes.
"That's right."
Xia Xu glanced at the wolf giant indifferently, then turned to look at Gu Haiming, and said with a smile: "If sufficient nutrition is provided, this wolf giant should theoretically become bigger, right?"
"That's right."
Gu Haiming nodded.
Although it is not infinitely large, it is still possible for the wolf giant to grow to five or six meters under the dual effects of giant glands and animal transformation, but that requires huge external nutritional intake.
"Then can we further catalyze its body shape, remove unnecessary organs, and directly use life-support equipment to maintain basic physiological functions?"
Xia Xu smiled.
"It's okay, but why should it be like this?"
Gu Haiming was a little confused.
The organs of the body are actually mainly responsible for transporting and metabolizing substances. The most core ones are the heart and lungs, but these two are also the easiest to be replaced by machines.
Moreover, organs such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines can theoretically be resected on a large scale, and only a very small part or the use of external equipment is enough to maintain basic physiological functions.
Not to mention the digestive system, it can be directly cut and infused.
Since the digestive system has been cut off and replaced by infusion, there is no need for the excretory system.
If there is no excretion, the related metabolic organs are simply cut off and replaced with regular dialysis.
In this way, most organs can be removed.
However, the various organs of the wolf giant are already in good condition, so isn't this unnecessary?
"I want to implant a cockpit inside its body and transform it into a kind of biological armor."
Xia Xu looked down at the wolf giant quietly and said calmly: "Youxin has reverse-engineered the human behavior algorithm of the centipede spine. We can completely destroy the wolf giant's consciousness center and directly use the human behavior algorithm for forced control.
But for remote control, there is firstly a lack of feedback from the five senses, and there is also a difference in spatial perception, so it is best to enter its body directly and synchronize the action data with the centipede spine..."
Xia Xu roughly explained his thoughts.
Lycanthropes like werewolves have a cannibalistic nature and can basically be said to be naturally on the opposite side of humans.
Moreover, the wolf giant caused hundreds of human casualties in the rampage a few days ago. Of course, Xia Xu would not have any mercy for it.
Anyway, this guy is just going to be a guinea pig, so he will naturally maximize his profits.
Now that the human behavior algorithm has been analyzed, centipede spines or other forms of equipment can be made.
The mechanical centipede spine essentially bypasses the conventional nerve signal system and directly controls muscle movement and nerve reflexes through current stimulation.
The wolf giant is just a product of biology, not something supernatural. In theory, it can completely destroy its own consciousness and directly use the mechanical centipede spine to forcibly control it.
There are many forms of control. One is to directly edit a complete action system through a program, and then control its actions in the same way as controlling a robot.
However, this kind of control is obviously very rigid and very complicated. Living organisms are countless times more complex than robots, and there are no ready-made drivers for you to use.
This control model is equivalent to using a program to replace the subconscious of living things. From instinctive reactions to every movement and every muscle movement, the amount of calculation and work involved is terrifying, and the resulting effects will also be very stiff.
, it’s totally worth the loss.
The second form is much more reliable and simpler, and that is to perform [synchronization].
If the wolf giant's consciousness is erased, then replace it with the consciousness of the controller. Let the controller also wear the centipede spine, and then synchronize the nerve signals received by his own centipede spine to the wolf giant's centipede spine.
Although they are both humanoid creatures, there are still many differences in body structure, but there is absolutely no problem with basic movement control, and they can walk, sit, and lie down.
But there are also many problems with this. Remote control relies on communication signals. If the distance is too far, there will be delays, and it may be blocked, interfered with, or even reversely controlled.
Even if we put aside these hidden dangers, its functional flaws are still obvious.
The spine of a centipede cannot sense simultaneously. It lacks five senses, no pain, and no vibrating touch after being hit. It may not be aware of being attacked, and its movements will also appear clumsy.
The most important thing is the same problem faced by brain control technology, the difference in spatial perception.
This is just like a remote control car and actually driving a car while sitting in the cab, the effects it can achieve are completely different.
When you sit in it and drive, the field of view, orientation, and coordinates are the same. The vehicle is equivalent to an extension of the limbs to a certain extent, and it is naturally at your fingertips when controlling.
As for the remote control car, even if you only control the car through the remote monitoring screen, it is good if you can barely avoid hitting the wall. You may not even notice the obstacles around you, let alone the most important balance and center of gravity of humanoid activities.
question.
This synchronization mode is essentially a 'remote control car', and it is a more inefficient remote control.
If you are too far away, the control effect will be poor. If you are close, there is no protection. If you really want to fight, you will definitely capture the thief first.
Therefore, with slight improvements based on synchronization, there is a third solution - biological armor.
Directly catalyze the wolf giant to become even larger, remove unnecessary internal organs, and implant a cockpit, behavior controller, and a series of life support and auxiliary equipment into it, turning it into a special biological armor.
Not only that, Xia Xu also got inspiration from EVA, and may be able to cover the body of the wolf giant with a layer of mechanical armor.
EVA looks like a Gundam-like mecha on the surface, but inside it is actually a cloned humanoid life form.
Naturally, the biological armor modified by the wolf giant can also be used. The outside is covered with mechanical armor, which can not only disguise the wolf giant as a mecha, but also provide assistance and protection. Life support equipment can also be placed on the external armor.
In fact, modern industry is completely capable of producing robots and exoskeleton armors. The reason why they have not appeared has already been mentioned when making passive exoskeletons. It is difficult to achieve such precision while ensuring output power, and there is also a lack of energy.
But with the wolf giant as the basis, the action mainly relies on the power of the wolf giant itself. Naturally, the external armor does not need to consider energy issues. It is mainly used as protective armor, plus some monitoring, scanning, life support and other equipment.
Of course, it can also be accompanied by a certain increase in strength.
In addition to energy, the most important reason why it is difficult to achieve true exoskeleton armor is that it is difficult to create a mechanical transmission structure that is both flexible and compact.
The wolf giant mainly relies on its own physical strength. This kind of increase does not need to worry about issues such as power. The use of small motors and hydraulic systems can always provide a small amount of strength increase, not to mention that even a passive exoskeleton with a purely mechanical structure can have good effects.
When the time comes, it will have the tyrannical body and steel skeleton of the wolf giant inside, and the alloy armor and hydraulic power system outside. This will be a super weapon that combines biology and machinery.
