Cyber Heroes

This happened in a very short period of time. Even the vigilante's dynamic vision couldn't fully capture all of this.

Among the eight or nine knights present, only Xiang Shan, Tao Enhai himself and the knight named Bai Man reacted.

No one expected that after Tao Enhai was angered, his body moved involuntarily. He threw himself at Xiang Shan.

Judging from the starting position, he should be trying to grab Xiang Shan's shoulders.

——Ah, according to this person's habit, he should be followed by reprimands and questions... with the attitude of an elder?

Xiangshan even remembered these. Although he still didn't know who Dr. Tao was, he did extract this from his memory.

Understanding this person's behavior pattern is more important than memories spent with this person - Xiangshan probably made such a choice more than two hundred years ago. Real experiences spent with friends are transcribed into files and transferred to hard drive racks. Now, those memories have long disappeared with the quantum hard drive.

What remains in Xiangshan's brain is the knowledge needed to identify ourselves and the enemy.

So now Xiangshan knows that this Doctor Tao is a friend.

To be honest, Xiang Shan quite understands Dr. Tao's current reaction. He himself doesn't like this technology called personality masking - whether it is true or false. This technology should not be abused, at least until ethical and legal constraints are reached.

And modern times happen to be an era of helplessness.

Then, Xiangshan realized another thing.

This Doctor Tao himself may not be in good condition.

His first step was wrong. The cranial nerves gave the prosthetic body wrong instructions. Since strong emotions increase the weight of instructions, the prosthetic body's self-correcting posture mechanism is completely overridden by instructions.

This Dr. Tao will fall down at supersonic speed.

Xiang Shan quickly adjusted his posture, lowered his body, and wanted to reach out to catch this old friend.

But he felt that his hands... no, his whole body seemed to be covered with a membrane. He is moving against a tough membrane. This membrane completely covered him. Every move he made had to fight against this invisible barrier.

This membrane is not a sound barrier. It's called Performance.

Xiangshan's current prosthetic body can only go so fast.

——I must have been much faster in the past than I am now.

Looking thoughtfully towards the mountain.

Then, in the violent sonic boom, Xiangshan and Tao Enhai collided. Xiang Shan dragged Tao Enhai's waist with his left hand and spun him around on the ground several times, eliminating the terrifying power, and finally stopped in a half-kneeling position.

——It feels terrible. I have to replace the elbow and shoulder parts again...

Xiang Shan thought so.

In a cloud of smoke and dust, the stunned group of knights looked at the old knight who suddenly attacked.

Tao Enhai shook off Xiang Shan's hand: You actually reacted... Yes. If it is close to his way of thinking, it means that certain structures of the brain are very suitable for martial arts techniques. Yes, you should indeed have a high reaction rate.

He clasped Xiang Shan's left shoulder with one hand: You have a very high talent. If you are willing to practice hard, you don't need to follow these crooked ways to become a famous hero. You should have a chance to surpass that person! But you are here What are you doing? Huh?

The doctor was very angry: I beg you, just let that old guy rest in peace!

At this moment, the whole cave was completely silent, except for the howling wind outside the cave.

The underground Pixiu was the first to speak: Old knight, what do you mean? This is...

Ah Tan said: Pixiu! Stop talking!

His hands were also shaking slightly.

Only Tao Enhai's assistant Lu Xiu was shocked and said: Master! Calm down! Calm down! You are not allowed to have violent mood swings! Intense bioelectricity will accelerate the disease process of Ivolu cells!

Tao Enhai then let go of Xiang Shan. But his prosthetic eyes were still locked on this man.

And Xiangshan was triggered with more memories: Ivolu cells? Course of the disease? This thing... this thing has also become a weapon?

Ivolu cells are the world's first benchmark tumor cells derived from the nerve sheath tissue of human Yawgmoth Voigt.

Perhaps it was a flaw in the first generation of gene therapy. At that time, many tumors appeared in the body of this genetic genius, both benign and malignant. However, because Tao Enhai has found a lot of detection methods for benchmark humans from animal experiment data, and the best medical team in the world monitors his body in real time, almost all lesions were eliminated immediately. Lost. Later, with the follow-up gene therapy developed by Yawgmoth, cancer no longer occurred.

In the process, Yawgmoth donated his tumor cells. This cell can divide indefinitely and will not undergo apoptosis due to too many divisions.

This is an excellent platform for experimentation.

In early 1951, a poor African-American woman born in the United States suffered from cervical cancer. She received treatment in a hospital—simply because that hospital was one of the few institutions willing to care for African Americans at the time. During the treatment process, the doctor took away a piece of her lesion tissue and cultured it in vitro.

Then, in vitro culture was a great success. This woman's cancer cells can divide rapidly and without limit under laboratory conditions.

It’s just that this woman’s own cancer treatment was not so successful. She passed away at the end of 1951.

Perhaps it was because the woman was infected with several viruses. This resulted in her cancer cells not only being able to replicate, but also replicating themselves at a faster rate than ordinary cancer cells.

This is an intangible wealth.

These cells are called HeLa cells. HeLa is the abbreviation of the poor woman's name.

The discovery of HeLa cells allows humans to break away from near-human creatures such as macaques as experimental subjects and use real living human cells without having to bear moral responsibility. They can use real people's cells to be tested for radiation, poisons, or infected with various viruses. Things like testing and making vaccines can also rely on this kind of human cells.

The doctor who successfully cultured the cell line in vitro generously shared the woman's cells with colleagues around the world. It has appeared in petri dishes in biological laboratories everywhere, becoming an important cornerstone of the modern global pharmaceutical and chemical industry, creating a value of tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

But unfortunately, the woman's husband, children and subsequent descendants did not receive any benefit. Instead, the privacy of a part of their family's DNA is being scrutinized by biologists around the world whether they want to or not.

Xiangshan probably still remembers - is this a memory from the Demon Cult? Or did he just remember it? ——Yawgmoth has always regarded this matter as a major stain on the development of biology.

Therefore, he personally presided over the new donation procedures. He hired a large legal team and signed a complex donation agreement that worked around the world. This agreement ensures that any of his descendants within five generations can terminate the donation if they feel that their privacy has been violated. But the agreement also ensures that his descendants will not receive excessive material compensation from the research institution, no matter what their ideas are.

Of course, Xiangshan also knew another thing - the reason why Yawgmoth made this donation agreement was just to leave a positive donation agreement template to the biological world. In order to prevent any descendants from interfering with the progress of human science, he would never leave any biological children. If there are genuine emotional needs, he will adopt.

Haha... It was really noble at that time... Xiang Shan felt that his head hurt very much. Something thing boiled inside the skull: Is this thing also a weapon? Is this thing also made into a weapon?

Evolu Cell, Evolu Cell, is taken from evolution, which means evolution. His original owner hoped that this reference human cell, which could reproduce indefinitely, could become an ideal human cell experimental platform like HeLa cells.

Didn't you tease me many years ago? Tao Enhai, who was meditating calmly, responded disdainfully: 'This thing absorbs electric energy very efficiently. If you throw it into a nuclear power plant, it might turn into a huge monster like Godzilla. Right' - words like this...

Tao Enhai realized something was wrong as he spoke. The tone of the guy in front of him was so much like his old friend - he couldn't help but think of this guy as Xiangshan!

Anger welled up in me again. But this time, without asking his disciples to remind him, Tao Enhai began to meditate on his own to suppress his anger.

Xiangshan even took a second or two to accept this shocking fact.

He patted the side of his head.

We have to admit that the world will indeed change.

Soon, Tao Enhai returned to calm. He said: Don't read some memories and think how noble our generation is. We are all human beings, the same. The third-generation modified version of Ivolu cells can produce tiny spores. It only takes a little Air with a little moisture and electrical energy can reproduce itself. It can paralyze electrical mechanisms and electronic equipment. Of course, if it enters the human body, it can also corrode the brain and cause death.

Xiang Shan looked Tao Enhai up and down: Your motor nerves have been severely eroded. Can you move freely? Is it all thanks to the posture correction algorithm of the prosthetic body?

Tao Enhai snorted, which was regarded as admission.

So, you need to do brain separation surgery and discard the brainstem part?

Well, the motor centers in the brainstem and cerebellum are not that important to prosthetic people. The organs themselves that rely on them for survival are gone, and there is no need for these nerves to command. We also have no muscles. As long as we don't use artificial muscle fibers, then Expensive prosthetics actually have no impact. Even part of the functions of the limbic cortex can be replaced by computers. Tao Enhai hummed: For humans, the neocortex is the core part. Let this part survive. There is hope.”

Note: Regarding If Ivolu cells are thrown into a power plant, they might turn into big monsters, it is actually a tribute to Ultraman Tiga. The Evolon cells [a type of cell found in the universe that can coexist with life on earth] that appeared in this special photography work, among which Evolon is the Chinese transliteration of the Japanese pronunciation of Evolu. In fact, I did consider whether to let the Six Dragons Sect come up with this idea. But considering that this is a world where humans cannot turn into light, the emergence of such a big monster seems a bit nonsense, so I finally gave up (laughs)
