Chapter 18 High Technology
I don’t know why.
After the spiny jellyfish incident, Yang Si suddenly became much more honest.
Although I still come to see Xie Shen often, I no longer clamor to sleep with Xie Shen.
That’s fine too.
Xie Shen was happy to be free and able to spend more time on practice.
Women will only affect the speed of his cultivation.
…
Soon, nearly half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Xie Shen stayed in the green plant area during the day, absorbing the spiritual power contained in unknown algae and red and yellow herbs.
At night, I secretly take one or two herbs back to my room and refine them.
Although the spiritual power contained in these spiritual grasses and spiritual plants is not much, the practice during the Qi training period is just a grinding effort after all, and it is not difficult.
So after half a month of hard training, Xie Shen finally successfully broke through to the middle stage of Qi training.
Evening.
In the green area of Space Station No. 031.
As usual, Yang Si took the initiative to come to Xie Shen's side as soon as it was time to get off work.
Maybe it’s because I care more about Xie Shen.
She saw Xie Shen's change at just one glance: "I'm going, you put on makeup?"
"How is that possible?" Xie Shen said funny: "When have you seen me? Makeup?”
“What about your skin.”
Yang Si brought his head closer to Xie Shen and observed carefully: "Why did your skin suddenly become so good? It's like you've applied something on it."
Every time the monk breaks through, not only his strength can be obtained As you improve, your body will also undergo qualitative changes.
So it is completely normal for Xie Shen’s skin to get better.
He smiled and joked at Yang Si: "How is it? Do you like me more?"
Xie Shen is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires.
After getting along for almost a month, he has regarded Yang Si as a friend, and even occasionally joked with her.
Only this time, Yang Si did not pick up Xie Shen's joke, but said seriously: "I do like you more. Before, I just thought you were a little bit good-looking, but that's all." But now, I really think you are handsome.”
Ah, this
Yang Si’s words made Xie Shen speechless for a moment.
In the lobby.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, a voice suddenly sounded at an inappropriate time: "I'm sorry to bother you."
The person who spoke was a man in a black suit who was extremely well-dressed.
It is not difficult to tell from his voice: this person is the man in a suit who came to see Xie Shen a month ago and claimed to be a member of the 'Separation Society'.
Compared with before, the man in the suit did not cover his face with black cloth this time, obviously showing a certain amount of trust in Xie Shen.
He thought Xie Shen would not report him.
Judging from his appearance, the man in the suit was only in his early twenties, and it seemed that he had just been resurrected by the space station not long ago.
——All people resurrected by the 'Resurrection Technique' will have their bodies reset back to 22 years old, but they will still gradually grow older as time goes by.
Seeing Xie Shen look towards him, the man in the suit pointedly said: "Well, your girlfriend"
Xie Shen understood what he meant, so he patted Yang Sihou He said back: "You go back first, I still have something to deal with."
The latter did not speak, but looked at Xie Shen with his big eyes, and then left the green area very obediently.
"You are really different from others."
Seeing Yang Si walk away, the man in the suit went straight to the point: "The night when the spiny jellyfish appeared, you took your girlfriend to jump down from such a high place. Nothing happened at all." After hearing this, Xie Shen said with a hint of displeasure: "Are you spying on me?"
"No, no."
< br>The man in the suit explained: "That night, when you jumped from such a high place, wasn't it normal for some of us to notice you?"
Xie Shen said expressionlessly: "Very good, don't pay attention next time."
"Hey,"
The man in the suit saw Xie Shen's unhappiness.
He laughed dryly and said to Xie Shen with a hint of flattery: "Don't be so wary of me, right? There are no conflicts between us."
Xie Shen said in a gentle tone: "What you gave me before There is a problem with the time. You were talking about the next night, but the jellyfish came that night.”
"It's normal to have errors." The man in the suit said matter-of-factly: "We are not gods, we are just a group of people who have united together to form a small organization, so the information we can understand may not be 100% accurate."
As he spoke, he revealed the purpose of his visit: "I came here this time mainly to ask if you have made up your mind and want to join our separation party?"
The man in the suit began to draw pictures for Xie Shen Get the pie.
“I don’t know if you have heard of ‘mechanical power armor’.”
“Our separate association recently got a set of the latest model-C21 armor.”
"However, that set of armor has high requirements for the person wearing it. It requires particularly strong mental strength to operate it."
"Then we found a lot of people and planned to train them, including you."
Mecha.
Xie Shen finally understood why the Separation Club insisted on taking him under its wing in the first place.
This is what I came up with for a long time.
Out of curiosity, he rushed to the man in the suit and asked: "What can the C21 armor you mentioned specifically do? For example, speed and strength."
"In terms of speed, It will definitely not be faster." The man in the suit said: "What power armor is good at has never been speed."
"After all, in terms of reaction force and instant acceleration, the functions of living organisms are always faster than machines. Much more."
"The advantages of power armor are mainly reflected in its destructive power and defensive power, and the wearer can also adapt to various extreme environments."
"How about it? Are you interested?" The man in the suit revealed: "I heard that the maximum thrust of the C21 armor is almost 10 tons, which is equivalent to the weight."
The man in the suit thought for a moment and said metaphorically: "It's equivalent to five SUVs in the 21st century."
Considering that he was very likely to encounter enemies wearing power armor in the future, Xie Shen continued to ask: "What about the battery life?"
"In terms of battery life," the man in the suit replied: "It should be able to last for about an hour at full power, and if it is on standby, it can last at least half a month."
This is not the end yet.
The man in the suit continued: "In addition to power armor, our separation association will also have people who can do mechanical modifications. If you are interested, I can recommend you to become a modification person."
< br>
"Mechanical modification?" Xie Shen showed a strange expression.
But the man in the suit explained: "Didn't I just say it: Powered armor cannot match biological bodies in terms of reaction force and instant acceleration."
"But mechanical transformation It’s different.”
“By transforming a person into a half-biological, half-machine body, he can have the reaction power and instant acceleration of a living body, while also having the power and defense of power armor. In addition to being able to Apart from phantom pain, there are basically no shortcomings.”
“What does phantom pain mean?” Xie Shen heard another new term.
The man in the suit replied: "After you transform into a cyborg, you will feel an inexplicable pain in the missing part of your body."
"This kind of pain is not actual pain, but It’s an hallucination produced by your brain, so it’s called phantom pain.”
“Phantom pain is a very common sequelae among reformed people.”
