"Dust." Accompanied by the flashing mosaic of light and shadow, AE86 lifted its optical camouflage.
"Mila." Wu Chen opened the car door with a smile.
"Let's go see Dr. Dai Lin." After the pleasantries, the major got straight to the point.
"Yeah." Wu Chen closed the car door.
Throughout the laboratory, there are pipelines similar to mutant nerve bundles. One end of the pipeline is connected to rows of large matrix cabinets that can be seen everywhere, and the other end goes deep into the wall without being traced. Even though it is secretly connected to the city's underground pipe network and a circulating water-cooling device is buried under the sea, the base is still as scorching as in midsummer.
Major Mila, who was wearing a prosthetic body, couldn't feel it at all. Wu Chen, who had not taken a few steps, was already sweating profusely.
"What's wrong?" Major asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's just too hot." Wu Chen smiled.
"Oh." A hint of sadness suddenly flashed in the major's eyes. This is the warmth and coldness that only humans have.
The major opened the elevator, and the cold wind that hit him made Wu Chen feel refreshed.
The elevator speeds down. Not surprisingly, the electronic superbrain that installs the core database must be hidden deep underground. This is also in line with Wu Chen's prediction.
"Are you okay at home?" There were only two people in the elevator, so the major asked first.
"Everything is fine, how about you?" This seemingly meaningless conversation can bring us closer. Questions and answers that are too clear-cut in purpose are never popular with people. Just like no one likes to be taken advantage of.
"Still the same as before." The Major said with a smile: "Sneaking among the ruins, looking for the secrets of the Mutation Day. Return to the nearest refugee camp from time to time to recharge and rest."
It’s true that Major’s full-body prosthetic body needs to be recharged. But when we first met, the NM4 transforming motorcycle printed by Zhinao came with a micro-core battery and a wireless charger function. As long as the Major rides along, he can always recharge. Therefore, the word "charge" in Shao Zuo's words is actually more inclined to human usage: it is a metaphor for cultivating energy, enriching abilities, or increasing knowledge and knowledge. When used on Major, it is more like a metaphor for blending into the crowd and gaining popularity.
So it is not difficult to see from this. Although the Major is completely prosthetic, he still has human thinking.
The core plot of Ghost in the Shell is actually always exploring the definition of new humanity. When technology helps human beings get rid of the shackles of life, old age, illness and death, and the spirit lives forever in the electronic world, human beings are still not human beings. The answer to the question is a matter of opinion. From Wu Chen's point of view, Shao Zuo is just like her full-body prosthetic body, and also a fully human being: an imperfect intelligent creature that always pursues perfection.
This was his personal definition of humanity.
"There is a proverb in my hometown." Wu Chen comforted with a smile.
"What should I say?" Major turned around.
"No news is good news." Wu Chen made a pun. He not only comforted the major that life was plain as water, but also said that he didn't have to worry about getting in and out of pieces.
"I think I've heard of it too." Major smiled and nodded.
The elevator opened, and Dr. Dai Lin, wearing Hanhua's pure white general scientific research uniform, greeted him with a smile.
"Long time no see, Wu Chen."
"Good day, doctor." Wu Chen greeted with a smile.
The huge spherical space is the core device in Laboratory No. 3: the electronic superbrain.
Wu Chen saw at a glance that inside the polymer tank filled with coolant, there was a huge ultra-brain central processing unit.
Once upon a time, Wu Chen also saw an even larger biochemical super brain at the Umbrella Company's submarine base. The shape, which is almost identical to the structure of the human brain, once deeply shocked Wu Chen. Looking at the mass of flowing ink in front of him, there seems to be an electronic super brain hidden in it by a giant squid. Even though his memory has been erased, Wu Chen still feels normal. There was no shock in my heart.
"What is ink?"
"The micro-mechanical army in the electronic super brain." Dr. Dai Lin replied.
After microns comes nanometers. Therefore, the "micro-machine army" mentioned by Dr. Dai Lin can be regarded as the predecessor of the nano-worm swarm. The micro-mechanical army will evolve for another generation, and there is a high chance that it will become a nano-worm swarm. Based on this, it can be seen that the technology tree of New Hong Kong should be at least one generation higher than that of New Port City.
"Doctor, what have you learned?" After visiting the Superintelligence Laboratory, Wu Chen got straight to the point.
"There are three tricky things: rescuing Dr. Olette who is under house arrest in the base camp, shutting down the Hanhua Machinery server host, and destroying the core of the mutant prosthetic body." Dr. Dai Lin has no need to hide it.
Needless to say, this must be the main plot.
"Three difficult things, where should we start?" This is a task that Wu Chen must take on.
"It's best to do it at the same time." This is the conclusion reached by Dr. Dai Lin with the help of electronic super brain scientific calculations.
"What should we do specifically?" Wu Chen asked again.
"The three of us split up. You take the family soldiers to the sea platform to rescue Dr. Ouet. Mira goes to the skyscraper of Hanhua headquarters to shut down the server host. I go to Public Security Section 9 to destroy the core of the mutant prosthetic body."
"Offshore platform, Hanhua headquarters, Public Security Section 9." Wu Chen thought for a while and said: "This time I brought 3 aerial hunters, each with a 10-man deformed armor team. There are also several elite family warriors. Doctor If you can believe it, I will do the three things together."
"This..." Wu Chen's family's combat power was obviously beyond Dr. Dai Lin's expectation.
"Chen, there are 30 deformed Ghost in the Shell warriors, right?" As a user of the NM4 deformed motorcycle, Major is naturally well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Ghost in the Shell.
"Yes." Wu Chen nodded lightly.
"The three of us will each lead a team and raid the offshore platform, Hanhua headquarters, and Public Security Section 9." The major gave a compromise suggestion.
"I have no objection." This is also the result Wu Chen wants.
"I agree." Dr. Dai Lin said happily.
"Okay, when will we take action?" Wu Chen asked carefully.
"Wait until the Major completes the collection." Dr. Dai Lin said bluntly: "It is best to recapture the Ghost in the Shell test subjects in Laboratory No. 02."
"That's fine." Wu Chen had already expected it.
As the last known human being in a physical body in Newport City. Collecting as many of Wu Chen's reproductive cells as possible is necessary to continue human existence.
This is the last task given to the Major by Dr. Ouellette before his disappearance. Now the war is imminent. In order to prevent Wu Chen from dying in battle, collecting it in advance is also the right choice.
But, is that really all there is to it?
Wu Chen ended the conversation with doubts.
Shao Zuo led Wu Chen to a sterile laboratory to complete the last collection.
"Dust?" the major asked softly before taking off the lab coat.
"Um?",
"I'll leave it to you, okay?"
"good."
Park at AE86 in Base Hall 03. The large central control screen lights up quietly.
Zhi Nao Ai sent the tactical briefing to the female warrior invisible in the cloud.
The Sky Hunter's onboard AI quickly identified the target.
Above the clouds, the Viper Sky Hunter combat readiness cabin is located.
"What did the master say?" Chief of Staff Perry asked captain Cotel Vitris.
"Master asked us to act as planned and wait for the opportunity." Kotel Vitris briefly informed the tactics.
"What specific mission?" Vice Captain Rose asked again. As the eldest sister of the former Road Killer Sisterhood, Rose could no longer hold back the fighting spirit in her heart.
"The master didn't say anything, please wait patiently." As the first female soldier of the 0326 base, Cotel Vitris has gradually become a matron.
"Yes." The female warriors said in unison.
