Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure

“Hiss—it’s so cool!”

Seeing Xiang Hongbin like this, Wang Tao took a breath.

When he was at Shuize Base before, Xiang Hongbin was almost eaten by zombies in order to protect everyone. After Wang Tao rescued him from the zombies, only half of his body was left.

Although Wang Tao used various medicines to revive Xiang Hongbin, Xiang Hongbin also became completely disabled and may need inhibitors for the rest of his life...

Xiang Hongbin has a tough character. If it were in peacetime, although he would not be reconciled, he could still accept the fact that he was disabled. After all, he had protected so many people, and it was worth it.

But now is the end of the world, and there are dangers everywhere. He, a disabled person, can only become a burden to everyone. He cannot accept that he is a burden. If Wei Zhenguo hadn't been comforting and encouraging him, he might have found a zombie and died together. But even so, Xiang Hongbin couldn't bear it anymore.

When Wang Tao saw Xiang Hongbin again, he decided to find a way to restore hope to Xiang Hongbin.

It is impossible to completely cure Xiang Hongbin, at least according to the current situation. So Wang Tao was thinking about whether he could restore Xiang Hongbin's fighting strength.

At the Wuyang military base, Wang Tao 3D printed a set of prosthetic limbs for Xiang Hongbin. This set of prosthetics allows him to move normally and has a certain fighting ability. But after all, it is not considered tailor-made or customized, so it can only be regarded as "usable".

Xiang Hongbin was quite satisfied, at least he was no longer a useless person.

But Wang Tao was dissatisfied because he knew they could do better, but because they didn't have the relevant professionals, they couldn't make it better. He knew that Xiang Hongbin didn't want to fall behind.

By chance, after arriving at the Changhe Base and seeing the advanced weapons and equipment such as power armor and crystal energy equipment, Wang Tao wondered if the research institute could customize a set of prosthetics for Xiang Hongbin.

The people at the institute are all professionals, and their customized products are definitely much better than standardized prostheses printed by machines.

It happened that Wang Tao met Qu Shilin, a technical expert, and asked Qu Shilin to help. Money was not an issue.

Qu Shilin was very interested after seeing Xiang Hongbin and was even willing to help without charging money.

Although I felt that Qu Shilin's performance was a bit unreliable, and she felt like she was treating Xiang Hongbin as a guinea pig. But after all, she is a normal person and knows what she can and cannot do. In addition, she has used a lot of things produced by the Hope Research Institute before. Wang Tao also trusts the Hope Research Institute, so the two hit it off immediately, and Xiang Hongbin went to the Hope Research Institute. Place.

After that, Wang Tao never saw Xiang Hongbin again. Qu Shilin said that this was more troublesome and would take a lot of time. But she promised that it would be completed before the Chinese New Year.

Although Wang Tao doesn't know, it's just a set of custom-made prostheses. Even if it takes so long, why does Xiang Hongbin need to stay at the research institute to cooperate all the time... But it is a good thing after all, and Xiang Hongbin agrees. Yes, Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions based on his trust in Qu Shilin.

Counting the time, Xiang Hongbin has been at the research institute for two months.

In the past two months, a lot of things have happened. Wang Tao almost forgot about Xiang Hongbin, and now he finally saw him.

After seeing the real person, Wang Tao finally understood why it took so long and needed Xiang Hongbin to cooperate.

What he and Xiang Hongbin thought at the time was to get a set of tailor-made prosthetics, preferably with some combat capabilities.

But now... these are all metal cyborgs!

But it seems reasonable to say that these modifications are all prosthetics...

In the past, Xiang Hongbin gave people a pitiful and tragic feeling. At first glance, he seemed to be a person with a lot of stories, which made people unable to help crying.

And now Xiang Hongbin is simply a mixture of complex feelings such as tough guy, terror, security, and technology. Not only does he have a story, he can also slap you into an accident!

I have to say that Xiang Hongbin is really handsome at this time!

Recalling that it took Xiang Hongbin two months to transform like this, Wang Tao now doesn't feel that this time is long, but he feels that the time is very short.

Even if you don't see the specific abilities, just looking at the machines that grow with his body, you know that this is not an easy task.

I hope the research institute is awesome!

"Wang Tao?"

When Wang Tao sighed in his heart, he suddenly shouted to Hongbin.

After Xiang Hongbin was seriously injured, his voice became hoarse, and his words were like glass being rubbed against each other, which was painful to hear. Now, Xiang Hongbin's voice is clearer and much more normal. Although it is still not as good as the original sound, and even has a little electronic sound, it is much better than before. And this voice matches his appearance...don't say it, it's quite suitable.

"Lao Xiang! Congratulations on being reborn!"

Wang Tao laughed and stretched out his arms and walked over.

Click——click——

The various mechanisms that fixed Xiang Hongbin were put away one after another, and Xiang Hongbin walked down the high platform step by step with slow but firm steps.

"Rebirth... It seems that it can indeed be called rebirth..."

Xiang Hongbin murmured to himself, and then gave Wang Tao a firm hug.

After being hugged, Wang Tao suddenly grinned. Fortunately, he was in good physical condition, otherwise this hug might have directly crushed his ribs.

"Xiang Hongbin, you are too strong! You should familiarize yourself with your strength first!"

Qu Shilin yelled quickly, then ran over and pulled Wang Tao out of Xiang Hongbin's arms.

"Are you okay?"

"Haha, thank you for your concern! It's okay!"

Wang Tao laughed.

"Huh...that's good!"

Qu Shilin patted her chest as if she was relieved.

"Ahem, sorry...a little unfamiliar..."

Xiang Hongbin scratched his head in embarrassment, and a sound of metal friction sounded at the back of his head.

"Let's try it first!"

Qu Shilin took Wang Tao, Xiang Hongbin and a group of researchers to the testing site next door.

She asked Xiang Hongbin to test some projects while other researchers recorded and analyzed them. She briefly explained Xiang Hongbin's situation to Wang Tao.

The first time she saw Xiang Hongbin, she felt that Xiang Hongbin was a good candidate for experimenting with "prosthetic bodies".

This kind of prosthetic equipment had actually been produced before the end of the world, and the technology was no problem. However, due to issues such as materials and energy, there is still a lot of room for improvement... So let alone mass production, even customized ones cannot be used.

After the apocalypse, the Hope Research Institute inherited these valuable data and felt that this was very suitable for the apocalyptic environment, so they decided to continue this research. At this time, crystal nuclei appeared, allowing them to develop crystal energy technology. The appearance of various monsters brought many strange materials... This made up for the lack of energy and materials before.

Now that technology, energy and materials are available, prosthetics will definitely play a big role.

In their vision, this kind of prosthetic equipment is different from ordinary prostheses. The human body and the equipment are separate, and they are two independent individuals. The prosthetic limb cannot move alone and needs to be driven and controlled by other parts of the body.

For example, the robotic arm that Wang Tao picked up from an airdrop before has an extra hand out of thin air, but this hand also needs to be controlled by a person through a remote control - that is to say, you must have a movable hand. If it was cut into a human stick, then the only way to control the robotic arm would be through voice...

But this kind of prosthetic body is different. Before it is used, it is independent, but after use, it is integrated with the body and becomes one!

There are no buttons required to control these prosthetics, you just need to have a normal mind and use your brain to control them. It's like your limbs!

And it can be replaced and repaired. Theoretically speaking, as long as the brain is still there, no matter how serious the injury is, you will not die!

If prosthetics can be promoted in human society, the combat effectiveness of humans will be greatly improved, and humans will not even have to be afraid of zombie viruses! You can definitely fight with zombies, but zombies probably can't be tough!

Of course, these are theoretically feasible, but there are still many difficulties that need to be overcome in practice.

There are two most difficult points, and these two points are not the prosthetic equipment itself.

The first problem is the user's problem.

Because the prosthetic body fuses with itself and connects to its own nerves, after experiments, it was found that the fusion process requires the user to have strong physical fitness and willpower!

If the willpower is not strong enough, there is no way to fuse. Even if it is forcibly fused, there is no way to control it. And there will be various side effects, which are not as good as ordinary prostheses. If your physical fitness is not strong enough, you may burp during the fusion process...

This problem is caused by their inadequate technology. As long as they are given time, they can solve it. But what is lacking now is time...so they need some disabled people with strong physical fitness and strong willpower to do the test.

It sounds like there should be a lot of people like this, after all, this is the end of the world. But in fact, such people are not easy to find.

Because in the apocalypse, especially in the early stages, there is no concept of serious injury. Not to mention serious injuries, just a small scratch from a zombie, you will be infected with the mutation and die in a few days...

For a long time, there was only a difference between "no injury" and "death". Injury is equivalent to death.

Although due to the subsequent establishment and development of the base and the improvement of medical care, many wounded and disabled people have been saved. But ordinary disabled people cannot do it. You need people with very strong physical fitness and willpower, which is difficult to find...

When she saw Xiang Hongbin, his miserable state... Qu Shilin had no idea how he survived!

If he can survive this, his willpower must be no problem, and Xiang Hongbin himself is a soldier with a third-level superpower, so his physical fitness must be up to standard.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

During various painful experiments, although Xiang Hongbin could not remain silent, he could at least resist. It is far beyond what those who experimented with before...

As for the second question, it is the issue of the integration between prosthetics and people, and prosthetics and liquids.

If a person is missing a hand, the difficulty of making and fusing a robotic hand is "1". Then if he is missing two hands, the difficulty of fusing the two robotic hands is not "2", but "3" or even higher!

To put it simply, the more parts of the body are modified, the more difficult it is to fuse, and the lower the probability of merging them all.

Given Xiang Hongbin's situation, he would not have been able to accept so many transformations. This is not a question of whether he has strong willpower, but a question of his lack of technical skills.

Qu Shilin had previously thought of taking her time, first fusing one hand, then fusing one foot, slowly experimenting and improving, and she would eventually succeed. The only ones who may suffer are experimenters like Xiang Hongbin. Although it is not life-threatening, it is really uncomfortable to test it again and again...

But sometimes luck is so good - Wang Tao opened a [Level 4 Weapon·Iron Beetle]!

When others see this kind of weapon, they naturally want to enhance their own combat power. When the people at the institute saw it, they felt that this thing was interesting. It was a bit similar to the prosthetic body they developed, except that one was fused with itself, and the other was semi-fusion; one was mainly based on mechanical technology, and the other was based on biology. Technology is the main thing...can't we learn from it?

The institute took a fancy to the city hall's iron beetle.

So after a tug-of-war, the iron beetle from the city hall came into the hands of the research institute. Qu Shilin did not elaborate on the specific agreement they reached, but she must have paid a lot to come to the institute.

After getting the iron beetle, the institute began researching it day and night.

Then they successfully dismantled the armed Iron Beetle...! Then I can’t pretend to come back...

But the harvest was great. They successfully integrated their mechanical technology with some of the iron beetle's biological technology! Coupled with the supplement and coordination of crystal energy technology... Xiang Hongbin is their latest product!

"Xiang Hongbin still has many flaws. For example, it doesn't feel 'exactly the same as his original body' as we expected... There is also a certain 'delay' in using it, a bit like controlling an iron beetle... The appearance is also different. Make it look exactly like a human - not to mention exactly the same, this shape is more like a powered armor than a human... Anyway, there are still many problems..."

"But I also believe that we will definitely create better prosthetics in the future until they are no different from human bodies. We may even become the legendary ones with only one head left - no, they should be able to survive with only one consciousness left. Degree!"

Qu Shilin's eyes sparkled.

"I believe you can do it!"

Wang Tao nodded seriously.

He really hoped that Qu Shilin could do it. To be honest, for him, ever since he saw the power armor, the technological level of the apocalypse has exceeded his knowledge. No matter what outrageous things are researched in the future, he will not be surprised.

"Thanks!"

Qu Shilin happily hugged Wang Tao, and then continued:

"After talking about Xiang Hongbin's origins, the next step is his strength. You can check the test for details..."

"I dare not say anything else, but I feel that few people can match his physical quality. If combined with various weapons... he has the fighting power of an awakened person!"

"But he has a small flaw, that is, he has to consume crystal cores..."
