Chapter 1501 Implanting a Prosthetic Body

Outside the courtyard of the villa.

Crowded and disorderly footsteps and women's cries.

A stretcher quickly rushed into the yard, and was quickly dragged out of the villa by two bionic ambulance personnel, and ran towards the ambulance.

Two police cars parked at the gate of the courtyard, while cordoning off the scene, comforted the emotions of the families of the victims.

It was about 5 minutes ago.

Song Yangwei, the boss of Yangwei Capital, was found dead in his home.

There was no sign of a blow on his body, nor was there any deadly toxin in his blood. If it weren't for the unrepentant expression, almost no one would doubt that this was just an accident.

In short, it happened so suddenly that no one had time to react, not even the slightest precaution.

It wasn't until the detectives deployed nearby found that something was wrong and took the initiative to contact Song Yangwei to confirm the situation, only to find that the man was dead.

Standing beside the cordon, Xing Bian took out the e-cigarette from his pocket, took a puff, and then stuffed the cigarette back.

Seeing Shi Jin walking towards him, he said in a deep voice.

"How do people die?"

Shi Jin didn't speak, but silently handed the sample bag with the chip in his hand to the captain.

The moment he saw the chip stored in the sample bag, Xing Bian's eyes gradually became serious.

After a while, he said in a heavy tone.

"Implant the prosthesis?"

"Yes, Song Yangwei has an artificial heart implanted in his body, but it was turned off half an hour ago..."

Shi Jin nodded, his face also full of solemnity. After pausing for a moment, he continued with a complicated tone.

"We might be in trouble."

...

Great Northwest.

In a nature reserve far away from human habitation, a four-wheel off-road vehicle is galloping on the deserted road.

After glancing at the positioning system on the car, Wang Peng turned his gaze to the rows of impenetrable woods outside the window, with a shocked expression written on his face.

"I didn't expect that a century later, the desert in the northwest has turned into a forest."

"It was like this a long time ago, and it can be regarded as one of the legacies left by Academician Lu, although most of it was realized by his descendants for him... We have arrived."

After passing the checkpoint at the fork in the road, the car continued to drive along the path for a while, and stopped in front of a military base that was not marked on the map.

To be honest, these buildings don't feel like military facilities at all.

And the reason why it can be seen at a glance that this is a military base is purely because of the intuition of being a soldier.

Pushing open the car door and getting off the driver's seat, the man driving the car narrowed his eyes, looked at the military base in front of him, and said in a nostalgic tone.

"This is the largest special forces training base in Pan-Asia, and it is also the most advanced training base in the world...As for why I say that, you will know when you go in."

Wang Peng: "The Security Bureau is considered a special force?"

"Not counting, but the vast majority of people graduated from here," the man standing next to the car door grinned and continued, "No matter what kind of training you have received before, here is A new beginning. I hope you can forget about those outdated technologies and pass the examination seriously."

Wang Peng smiled lightly and said.

"While it's a new beginning, some things never go out of style."

The man shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

Looking at him curiously, Wang Peng continued.

"Speaking of which, you didn't tell me your name all the way."

"Hunter, that's what my friends call me, and you can call me that too." After shaking hands with Wang Peng, the man grinned and continued, "Anyway, good luck to you, if you can If you pass the assessment, we should see each other again soon."

"I'll borrow your good words."

After shaking hands and releasing them, Wang Peng turned his gaze to the base not far away, and asked casually.

"May I ask, how long is the training time? Or, when will the assessment you mentioned start?"

The hunter laughed and said, "It's already started. As for when you will pass, it depends on when you can reach the average standard of a Security Bureau agent."

Wang Peng: "I mean what is the standard."

"That's up to you to find out."

After throwing down an unclear answer, the man made a farewell gesture, then turned and walked towards the off-road vehicle.

With the sound of the engine starting, the car soon turned onto the road and disappeared from Wang Peng's sight.

Do I need to do the handover work by myself?

Watching the car go away, just as Wang Peng was thinking so, a voice calling out his name suddenly came from behind him.

"Wang Peng?"

Turning around and looking back, there was a strange man standing there, and a holographic screen was floating on his left wrist.

Although he couldn't see what kind of text was displayed on the front of the screen, he could probably guess that it should be something like his resume or identity information.

"Yes."

Wang Peng originally thought that the person would inquire about his information, but he didn't expect that after checking the name, he just took a look at himself and put away the holographic screen suspended on his wrist.

"A little earlier than expected, come with me."

After dropping these words, he turned around and walked towards the military base.

Seeing the back of this person leaving, Wang Peng did not hesitate for a long time, and followed with the suitcase in his hand.

Passing through the checkpoint in front of the door, when he followed the footsteps of that strange man into the base, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.

It was also at this moment that he finally understood why the agent who claimed to be a hunter called this the most advanced training base in the world.

The man who seemed to have noticed the expression on his face, looked back at him, and said with a smile.

"You look surprised?"

"It's quite surprising," Wang Peng continued, looking around the empty hall, "If I didn't already know what this place is, I might not be able to associate it with a military base."

Although he hadn't visited the military installations of other countries in this era, everything he saw had refreshed his understanding of military bases.

The most common thing here is not soldiers in military uniforms, but scientific researchers in white coats. As far as what he sees, the ratio between the two is even more than 1:1.

The strange technologies along the way, as well as some confusing gadgets, make it hard to imagine that this is a military camp, but it is more like a laboratory instead.

Reading the surprise on Wang Peng's face, the man smiled slightly and continued.

"In today's era, the vast majority of military conflicts take place in space far away from the ground, and in distant Mars colonies. And even if there are military conflicts, the collision of flesh and blood is mostly done by AI."

"However, there are still some tasks that are not suitable for AI to complete. My name is Lin Feng, and I am your mentor. If there is anything you don't understand, you can consult me."

Looking at a man passing by with exaggerated arms and obvious metal skeletons under his incompletely painted skin, Wang Peng couldn't help asking.

"Is that an android soldier?"

"Strictly speaking, we don't have pure bionic soldiers. First, it violates human relations, and second, it is unnecessary. On the frontal battlefield, different types of drones and remote-controlled vehicles that adapt to all terrains will be more powerful than two-legged soldiers." Humanoid soldiers are more reliable. In non-frontal battlefields, the memory of bionic humans cannot achieve perfect adaptability, which is what most AI programs lack today.”

After a pause, Lin Feng continued.

"As for the thing you saw, it's called an implant."

Wang Peng: "...Implant the prosthetic body?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"That's right, a thing that is very common in this era, and it can even be said to have become a fashion."

"Natural organs will always have various problems, including viral infection, functional failure, or damage due to some force majeure, so implanting prosthetics has become a new fashion...Of course, military use In fact, the research in the field will be earlier, dating back to the 1910s and 1920s, the first application case of bionic prosthetic body appeared. "

Wang Peng: "...I may know the person you mentioned."

Back then, Li Gaoliang lost his legs in order to protect Biosphere-A because Biosphere-a was attacked by an unknown species organization.

At that time, neural access technology was in the ascendant, and Academician Lu personally designed a bionic prosthesis for him after he knew his situation. Although he had also heard it, and the person who said it was still bragging, Li Gaoliang, who had installed bionic prosthetics, really seemed to be fine, and his legs and feet were even more flexible than normal people.

If he remembers correctly, this caused a lot of heated discussions at the time.

After hearing Wang Peng's words, Lin Feng showed a surprised expression on his face, and then said with a smile.

"I almost forgot, you seem to be from that era."

Wang Peng: "I have a question I want to ask."

Lin Feng: "What's the problem?"

Wang Peng: "Are you a bionic person?"

"...I was discovered by you," Lin Feng, who was seen through, was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and continued, "This was originally part of the assessment, but I didn't expect you to pass it on the first day. It seems You belong to the type with advanced insight, and I will recommend some suitable equipment for you."

Although it was expected, but I didn't expect that even places like "boot camp" would use bionics.

It seems that the reliance on smart tools in this era is really exaggerated to an unimaginable level.

Shaking his head in his heart, Wang Peng glanced at the soldier who was receiving regular inspection and maintenance of the prosthetic body behind the glass window, and said casually.

"If the equipment you mentioned refers to the kind of implanted prosthetic body, forget it. In comparison, I still believe in myself."

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders.

"It seems that stubbornness is also one of your characteristics."

"But it doesn't matter, this is a personal choice, although I recommend you to accept the convenience of technology in this era, after all, it will make it easier for you to pass the examination."

"There are no shortcuts to some things. This sentence was told to me by a friend of mine," Wang Peng smiled lightly, and continued in a calm tone, "Take me to the dormitory, and wait until you put your luggage away." After that, I also want to see the training ground."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, nodded and said.

"no problem."
