Defend Namsan Park

Chapter 39 The World Cup Begins
If there is anyone in this world who lives in a nutshell and still thinks he is the king of the universe, that person should not be Shanglu, but Shen Jiang.

The cockpit of the giant machine is a huge fruit shell, which is filled with a light blue viscous liquid. The girl in the shell is curled up, her eyes are closed, and complicated cables and pipes are connected to her back. In a world that belongs to her alone, there will be no second person in the world who has the ability to spy on her thoughts. The monitoring system of the accounting office may be able to see the complex brain activity of the driver, but it is impossible to analyze it—except for the silence The crimson giant standing in the workshop.

The spiritual world of giant machinery drivers is a secret to outsiders. They are the top geniuses in human society, possessing talents far beyond ordinary people, and they are also the first batch of people whose brains are connected with computers. Shanglu said they are a group of Cyberpunk humans, this statement is justified. The technology in the early 21st century is far from the point where humans and machines can be organically integrated. Rough, blunt, and crazy technology like BCI is somewhat punk. .

From a technical point of view, the BCI system is essentially to insert wires into the brain-this idea is so rough that it is shocking. Humans cannot find the real entrance to the brain, so they choose to break the door violently.

Shin Kang opened his eyes.

Zero-gravity buffer trimming ends, and the liquid level gradually drops.

In order to ensure that the pilot can be in a state of near weightlessness while in the cabin, the IRGF needs to be trimmed regularly.

"Shen Jiang, are you okay?" The voice of 1047, the director of the accounting office, came from the headset.

"Don't make noise, I'm talking to her." Shen Jiang said.

"Her?" 1047 was taken aback, "Who is she?"

Shen Jiang raised his head, "That's her."

She was referring to Guren.

1047 can't figure it out, Honglian is a machine, a computer, a cold dead thing, how can a human talk to a repeater?If Guren has the ability to pass the Turing test, why does he need a driver?

"You don't understand." Shen Jiang shook her head. The liquid level of IRGF had dropped below her waist. She casually tapped on the inner wall of the cockpit to call out the control panel to see the parameters.

"Okay." 1047's tone was a little dull, "The work is over, do you want to have lunch together later?"

"Row."

The cockpit door opened, and Shen Jiang disconnected the cables and pipes on his body, took off his helmet, climbed out from inside, and took a deep breath while standing wet on the corridor bridge.

The slightly viscous buffer solution dripped on the metal floor, and Shen Jiang felt like a water ghost every time she got out of the cabin. The outermost layer of her anti-load suit was made of strong, stretch-resistant and impermeable PE fiber material, which felt rough to the touch. There are exoskeletons on the back and limb joints, and a water-cooled grid inside. A set of equipment usually weighs tens of kilograms.

The black hair on the forehead was covered with sweat, and the girl stood there with her eyes closed for a long time, slightly leaning her fair neck, and she could tell that she was a slender girl by looking at her shoulders and neck. Shen Jiang turned her head slightly, not knowing Listening to something, transparent beads of sweat slid down the jawline.

She looked around and found a bulging black backpack on the side of the railing of the covered bridge.

Shen Jiang squatted down and opened the zipper of the backpack, took out a palm-length white plastic box, opened the lid and peeled off the foam, and inside was a packaged blunt-tipped syringe.

She flicked the syringe with her fingers, and confirmed that the inside was a colorless and transparent liquid against the light, then quickly found the position at the back of her head, and inserted it with a little force.

When the liquid was injected, the girl's body trembled slightly, her back and neck stiffened.

After a few seconds, she breathed out, pulled out the syringe, stuffed it back into the bag, then picked up the backpack and left the boarding bridge, and walked around from Guren's back to the front.

She was startled suddenly.

A young man sat on the working platform in front of Honglian, leaning against the railing, holding a wrench in his hand, and knocked on the floor one after another.

The shining white helmet is really conspicuous.

"Supervisor?"

"What a coincidence, leader." Shang Lu turned his head and greeted her, "I'll come and see my granddaughter."

"red lotus?"

Shanglu nodded: "My granddaughter."

Shen Jiang "puchi" laughed, "It will really take advantage, if your kid is Honglian's grandfather, then what am I?"

"You can be a grandma, I have no objection." Shang Lu said, "You can also be a grandma, after all, you are the leader."

"Didn't you think you would be so talkative before?" Shen Jiang tilted his head.

"Probably figured out something. The dead brain thrombus was unblocked again, the smart IQ once again occupied the high ground, the old tree bloomed new flowers, and the dead tree was in spring again." Shanglu tapped the railing with a wrench, leaning on his shoulders. There, scanning the crimson shell of the giant machine from a distance of several meters, "It's so pitiful, my granddaughter dismantled it in such a mess."

"This is what it looks like in the non-integrated training state." Shen Jiang said.

At this time, Honglian hanging in the workshop is only half of her body, without waist, legs or arms, only a head and chest and abdomen. Shen Jiang said that Honglian looks like this in most cases—sometimes even the head is missing Yes, the computing core needs to be transferred to a special ultra-clean workshop for maintenance. A precision instrument such as the gravitational gyroscope cannot be calibrated in the chaotic 110 workshop. As for the power core, it is a miniature nuclear reactor, and all maintenance work must follow the regulations of nuclear facilities. According to requirements, under normal circumstances, the first thing to do after the end of the giant machinery mission is to dismantle the power core and transfer the reactor out.

Shang Lu shifted his gaze from Hong Lian to Shen Jiang's face, stared at it for a long time, saw the latter touching his face unnaturally, and asked, "What are you looking at? There are flowers on my face?"

"How long have you had this symptom now?" Shanglu asked.

Shen Jiang didn't understand what he was talking about for a moment.

"I'm talking about the inability to recognize faces." Shang Lu explained, "Leader, you may be the most face-blind person in the world."

The girl's expression suddenly tightened, "My God, what are you talking about?"

"Don't pretend, you can't hide it from me." Shanglu continued, "The BCI system is deeply eroding your brain, destroying your brain's temporal lobe fusiform gyrus and posterior occipital lobe, making you less sensitive to other people's emotions." Facial features have completely lost the ability to distinguish, but I guess...not only do you not care about it, but you are trying to cater to the invasion of your spiritual world by BCI. When you use the BCI system to connect with Guren, do you still feel like a human being?"

Shen Jiang's face turned pale.

Shang Lu sighed: "The drivers of giant machines are all mentally ill."

"How do you know?" Shen Jiang asked.

"Didn't I say that?" Shanglu shrugged, "BCI system is my old profession."

"There are a lot of people in 151 who are from BCI. No one can have such a keen sense like you." Shen Jiang was a little curious, "Unless you have been immersed in this technology for 20 years and know everything about it, then you It has to be studied from the womb."

"It's a pity. Before I came to 151, I have been engaged in the research of non-invasive BCI systems. I have basically never touched the BCI used by Honglian." It took almost three days to flip through the documents."

The girl blinked blankly.

"Three days?"

"Two and a half days to be exact."

"You're partly right, but not completely right." Shen Jiang's tone gradually became serious, "There is no problem with my self-awareness at present."

"I guessed it, and it's great to be able to guess part of it correctly. If I can completely guess the thought world of a mental patient, wouldn't I also be mentally ill?" Shang Lu said, "The impact of an invasive BCI system on the brain is impossible. It’s elusive, the people in the office call this giant machine mental disturbance syndrome, before I got to 151, I never thought that this thing would have such a big impact.”

"There are even bigger ones." Shen Jiang smiled helplessly.

"Following this trend, you will be schizophrenic sooner or later." Shang Lu frowned, and finished the second half of the sentence in his heart: even death.

Shen Jiang looked at Honglian, "You have to have confidence in her."

"it is just……"

"She's your granddaughter." Shen Jiang turned to look at Shanglu with a good smile.

Shanglu's heart twitched, and he felt that he was sitting here all morning just for this smile.

The girl came over, knelt down in front of Shanglu, and stared into his eyes. This time, the person who touched her face unnaturally was replaced by Shanglu. He avoided the other party's piercing gaze and asked, "What are you looking at? My face Are there flowers?"

"You are a genius." Shen Jiang said seriously.

"Thank you for the compliment from the leader." Shanglu said, "But I know this."

"Have you eaten?" Shen Jiang asked.

Shanglu froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"Go to dinner together? Swipe my card, you are such a genius, I should give you a little treatment." Shen Jiang threw his backpack into Shanglu's arms at the same time, "In return, the supervisor will help me carry the bag."

How did this topic suddenly turn to eating?

Before Shang Lu recovered his senses, Shen Jiang had already got up and walked away.

He had no choice but to catch up with the bag.

"Supervisor, this way, go to my place first, I want to change clothes."

"Alright leader."

"Why do you keep holding the wrench?"

"As a maintenance man, it makes sense to carry a wrench with you, right?"
