Chapter 58
"How is Adam?"
"Judging from the readings of physical signs, Adam's heart rate increased significantly half an hour ago, and the secretion of sweat glands increased, probably due to some stressful situations encountered in virtual reality. But the readings have now begun to return to stability."
Zhang Xun sighed. During this day, Adam's heart rate soared significantly several times, and he didn't know what kind of situation was set in the simulated environment. He suspects that he himself is also within the settings of the simulator, and he just hopes that those people don't set him up as a jerk...
In addition to this incident, the last words of Pati, whom he had talked to before, also irritated him. Under Bug's monitoring, he was sure that the other two hadn't mentioned his "little trick" to Patty, but Patty guessed something. Is it based on the look, language and behavior of those two people? Or by his own actions?
The taciturn psychologist gave him an odd sense of creepiness, quite different from the well-managed comfort he usually had with other psychiatrists.
Fernandez looked at the door curiously. As a scientific madman who has a deeper affection for man-made machines than for people, Adam is like a legendary sacred object. Any mechanic would like to take a look at it. It is best to say a few words and ask some questions... It's a pity that Zhang Xun took care of Adam very closely. Even his deputy didn't have much chance to chat with Adam. He said with some pity, "If Adam fails, will I never have the chance to talk to the greatest invention in the world?"
"He will pass." Zhang Xun's tone was beyond doubt.
"If you are so confident, why are you still staying here?"
Zhang Xun glanced at Fernandez and said haughtily, "I am willing."
Since Zhang Xun was unwilling to leave the fourth floor no matter what, James had to follow Fernandez to the Lab cafeteria for dinner in fear (fortunately, Pan didn't put jalapeños in his curry rice), and packed a meal by the way. Bring a pulled pork roll to Zhang Xun. After spanking Zhang Xun casually for a while, Fernandez went back to the first floor to tinker with his new semi-automatic "human weapon" Oracle23. Zhang Xun absently nibbled on the burrito, while James held a can of beer and chatted while drinking, "We're going hunting next month."
Zhang Xun's chewing paused for a second, and his brows were frowned, "Hasn't all hunting activities been suspended recently? The new server in North America is almost completed, and a large number of mechanical policemen are allowed to enter the country by the Canadian government, even if you are only active around the Rocky Mountains The risk is too great."
"The last air bomb destroyed the ecological environment around here. We don't have enough wood. Many of the damaged fighter planes in the army still lack essential parts. In addition, we finally got in touch with the group of Russian arms dealers. Now, the round table wants more weapons, and also wants to find an opportunity to inquire about the situation in several other refugee countries. After all, the situation is getting more and more tense, and isolation is not the way." James squeezed the empty beer can, from He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, but he didn't light it, it just smelled like chewing tobacco. He knew that Zhang Xun did not allow anyone to smoke in the Lab to avoid a fire.
Zhang Xun looked at him worriedly, "How many groups are the Round Table planning to send out?"
"This time there is only one of our regiments. The fewer people there are, the less likely it is to be discovered."
It's too dangerous... Zhang Xun feels more and more that the balance of power in the round table seems to have changed slightly, from the previous passive policy of protecting oneself to becoming more and more aggressive.
"Before you leave, I can probably make the bulletproof suit I told you about last time." Zhang Xun thought about all the preparations he could make for James, "I can use bugs to help you find the way, and once I find the mechanical police You will know the trace immediately."
"Okay, okay, I'll just mention it to you casually, it's not the first time I've led a group out."
"The situation is different now. You must be careful!" Zhang Xun lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being overheard, "I was asked by the round table to test and evaluate the neutralizer program of the Seventh Regiment last week, so I know This matter: the last time the 7th regiment went out to the robot police to try to capture them, and finally three people were caught. The captain started the prisoner confirmation process in time, but only the neutralizers on two people were successfully activated, and the neutralizer on the remaining one There was a communication failure. The round table refused to report this matter, only saying that all three people died.”
In order to prevent those who went hunting from being captured by Eden to extract the internal information of Paradise Lost, a "neutralizer" was implanted in the neck aorta of every member of the army, including members of the hunting group. When a member is captured by the robot police, the member can choose to activate the neutralizer on his body, the micro-explosion will destroy the aorta, and the captured person will die of massive hemorrhage shock in the shortest possible time. If the captive does not actively activate, the captain can activate the captive's neutralizer through the "captive confirmation" program carried on his body. If the captive is the captain, three other team members need to start the capture confirmation process at the same time to activate the neutralizer. But because they dare not use satellite signals to activate the neutralizer, they are afraid that Eden will control the signal, so they can only use electromagnetic waves to control it. But because of this, this kind of neutralizer has a certain distance limit. After exceeding the limit, it can no longer be activated even if the prisoner is confirmed. After returning from hunting each time, if the number of hunting groups decreases, the round table will check the recorder video and member records on each person. If the captain or team members maliciously confirm the captives, the entire hunting group will be sent to a military court. It could end up with the death penalty or brainwashing into exile.
