Chapter 29 Chip
In the desert town, there was a lot of fun in the messy bar.
Men and women were reveling in joy, dancing to the harsh and noisy music. Today, wonderful drinks from another world were specially served, replacing the bar's original garbage drinks.
The dry, throat-burning liquor is the favorite of the miners at Fengshan Mine. Now it is being drank in big gulps by the strangely dressed wasteland warriors.
As for the side dishes, they are a bit shabby.
All the meats that Su brought back had been eaten up, leaving only some cold dishes and some fruits, which were treated as "prizes" to be given to the coolest and most stylish person tonight.
These guys dismantled a half-damaged tracked motorcycle, moved the searchlight to the bar and used it as a dance light. Two female warriors in cool bikini outfits were dancing passionately.
A group of people below were howling.
Someone else took out a broken guitar and played terrible music, but no one cared.
Today is such a joyful day.
The leader has issued the order to move.
After tonight's party, everyone will pack up and gather all the resources they can take away. In a day or two, everyone will leave this sad, fucked-up world.
Go to a good place and start a new life.
The thing called "hope" that no one has ever cared about has come true today.
However, Su, who was regarded as the "savior" by them, was not here.
The leader was not there either.
It seemed that he was discussing something important with that annoying Jiang Xia. On the other side of the town, in the command center that was briefly occupied by the Eternal Life Society, several people were busy.
"Try not to bring energy weapons. There are no charging devices for you to use."
Jiang Xia held a cigar in his mouth, put his hands on his hips, and said to Roger who was making plans:
"Just use gunpowder weapons and bring plenty of bullets.
If there are removable weapon production tables, bring one or two, as well as various blueprints. I want blueprints of the development process of various weapons. Bring them all, as long as they exist.
You'll be spending a lot of time there, so you'd better fill up your car with gas, otherwise it will become a pile of garbage that takes up space when the battery runs out."
Rogge nodded and quickly modified the plan. With the help of the computing power of the brain chip, a complex relocation plan was quickly revised into shape.
Su Ze was holding something like a tablet and walking around, counting the supplies they could take away.
Rogge's condition at this time was a bit strange.
He was sitting on a chair with a cable-like data line connected to the back of his head. On the console next to him, a data copying program was running.
On the optical
Then it is transferred to another spare chip through modular distributed memory.
On the console, there was something like a socket, with something flashing on it, connected to the injection installer of the new chip.
The chip in his brain will be implanted into Jiang Xia's brain, and he will have to replace it with a new one, so the information copy must be completed before the operation.
"This thing is really strange."
Jiang Xia blew out a smoke ring, walked behind Rogge, and carefully looked at the interface between the data cable and the back of his head. There was a socket on the back of Rogge's head, covered by his hair.
Normally it is covered by bionic materials and nothing unusual can be seen.
It's kind of creepy when this is revealed.
“I heard from Jasmine before that some radical elements in the wasteland would open a hole in their brains and turn their brains into a readable and writable database.
I thought that was something a radical would do, but I didn't expect you, Roger, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be a mechanical radical."
He reached out to touch the connection between the data cable and Roger's skull.
But it was opened by Roger.
The data transmission process is directly connected to the brain socket. If something goes wrong, it is very likely that Rogge will become mentally ill due to brain damage.
He had seen such things more than once in his life.
"Now you know why the Eternal Life Society must capture me, right?"
The black fox of the wasteland was lying on a chair, perfecting the relocation plan while saying to Jiang Xia:
“They wanted the biotechnology knowledge that my grandfather and the Black Hand had researched over the years, but they couldn’t find where we stored the data.
That knowledge is all in my head.
Unless they catch me, they will get nothing."
He said:
"But I won't fall into their hands. My prosthetic body has a self-destruct device. The moment my heart stops beating, I will take this knowledge with me to heaven."
"Is it that serious?"
Jasmine, who was preparing for surgery on the other side, curled her lips and whispered:
"It's just some research data. How many people have died protecting it?"
"No, little girl."
Roger said to Jasmine with a different emotion and a complicated tone:
“Although you are a member of the Eternal Life Society, you obviously don’t know what your superiors have been researching in the past two years.
If you knew, you wouldn’t have such a stupid question.”
“What are they studying?”
Jiang Xia suddenly asked.
Rogge glanced at him, shook his head, and didn't say anything directly, but just said vaguely:
“This thing is enough to subvert the wasteland and is strictly prohibited by the six city-states. Ms. Emma was such a wise scholar. She was my grandfather’s student and lover.
Ethically I have to call her grandmother, but she completed my primary education at my grandfather's request.
Sadly, she's gone mad now.
The fear of death completely overwhelmed her and made her reach out to the taboo. The knowledge in our hands is the last piece of her evil puzzle.
If she gets it, Free Citizen City will be finished."
Seeing that Rogge was not going to say anything, Jiang Xia stopped asking.
He looked at the glowing chip syringe next to him and said:
"I heard from Jasmine that the Black Hand Society is good at biotechnology. You can produce various gene injections to improve human functions? Do you still have them now?"
"Gone."
Roger said frankly:
"The attack came too suddenly. Our lab was occupied by the Eternal Life Society's robots, and we didn't have time to bring out more products."
He sighed and said regretfully:
"The production of genetic injection products is a very precise process. Without the help of those experimental equipment, I would not be able to produce even the lowest-level finished products even if I had the knowledge.
Oh, since we are talking about this, I have to tell you in advance, Jiang."
Roger pointed to his head and said to Jiang Xia:
"My chip is a second-level chip with eight expansion slots and various functional plug-ins installed. However, these plug-ins can only be effective when used with special prostheses and some bio-transformation drugs.
If you don't want to give yourself prosthetic modifications, then the chip implanted in your brain can only activate the most basic functions.
Enhanced perception, environmental digitization, combat assistance, multi-layer visual conversion, etc.
"enough."
Jiang Xia said:
"I don't need it to help me. I'm also a warrior. You've seen what I can do with this body. Forget about those prosthetic modifications."
He turned his head and looked at Jasmine, saying:
"She's such a young child. Every time I see all kinds of weird things popping out of her hands, I feel creepy."
"Things you think are cruel are necessary in this world."
Roger sighed and said:
"You remind me of my grandfather, the one who was born in peacetime. I don't despise you, but you have a strange tenderness towards the world, just like my grandfather.
I don't understand.
But, the feeling of being kind to others and to yourself should be very good.”
"Ding"
With a slight sound, the data stream on the optical projection suddenly dissipated. Rogge rubbed his forehead and let out a slightly painful groan.
Data copy transfer completed.
It's time to move on to the next item.
He and Rogge lay on both sides of the cleared command platform. Jasmine stood next to Jiang Xia, while Su stood on Rogge's side, moving his hands.
He is a medical soldier, and he is the only one who can do the job of replacing the chip in Rogge's brain. Apprentice Jasmine's experience is not enough to handle such a complicated operation.
She is feeling a little uneasy now.
This time the chip was implanted in Jiang Xia, which was different from the last time the chip was implanted in Liu Laosi. That time Jiang Xia clearly told her that it was okay even if it failed.
But now, if she made a mistake, her new boss and her new life would be in jeopardy.
Su is busy over there.
The young man silently opened the toolbox, took out a complicated drill-like object, and connected the tool's data cable to the silver iron piece above his ear.
This delicate operation requires chip assistance.
Jasmine's breathing was a little rapid. She kept moving her fingers, checking the tools at hand, and making final preparations for implanting the chip.
"Hi, girl."
Jiang Xia, lying there with his eyes closed, suddenly said:
"Hold your hands steady for a moment. If you shake, I'll be done for. If the dishonest Su wants to play tricks, use the gun in your hand to hit him."
"Ha ha"
Rogge, who was lying there under general anesthesia, laughed when he heard this.
Before he finished laughing, the anesthesia took effect and he lost his breath. Su also let out a faint laugh.
They all knew that Jiang Xia was joking.
The cooperation has been reached. Just as Jiang Xia said, the ability to travel through the world is in his hands. As long as Rogge does not go crazy, he will be even safer here than in Fengshan Mine.
Jasmine's face flushed red, she knew that Jiang Xia was asking her to relax.
She took a deep breath, picked up the dentist's drill-like tool at hand, and connected the data cable to her ear like Su did. She then picked up the anesthetic and stabbed it into Jiang Xia's wrist.
She whispered as if to assure him:
"It's going to be okay, boss, trust me."
"Um."
Jiang Xia closed his eyes and said:
"Of course I believe you, we signed a contract.
bring it on."
Jasmine nodded, and the anesthetic solution was injected into Jiang Xia's blood vessels. Soon, he lost consciousness in the floating darkness.
Su looked back and saw Jasmine pulling out the pistol from her waist and putting it beside her. The girl raised her head and there was a glimmer in the pupil of her left eye.
Like a pulsating halo, the chip's onboard aiming aid has been activated.
She stared at Sue, her face expressionless.
It seemed that she didn't take Jiang Xia's words just now as a joke.
