Chapter 213 Deep Virtual 40
"How so?"
Xie Ning asked the robot waiter to settle the bill, and then led Zhan Lin upstairs into her small laboratory.
“You know my profession, prosthetics are just one branch of it... The prosthetics you have are relatively outdated. Although the metal material of the outer shell is of good quality and more durable than the human body, it has no ability to attack proactively.”
Zhan Lin watched as Xie Ning put on his goggles, then glanced down at her prosthetic arm. "The benefits the Security Bureau can provide to security guards are limited. Back then, at my rank, I could only apply for the kind of prosthetic arm we have now."
It's not that there aren't better options, but rather that they're not at the right level.
“I’ll modify you.” Xie Ning’s eyebrows curved slightly. “But we need to sign an agreement. Of course, it’s not a life-or-death agreement, but we need some feedback from you.”
She was also interested in Dr. Ji's research direction, but the two of them had different starting points. Xie Ning did not want to do research with life as a premise; she mainly wanted to modify the machine itself.
Placing humans in the primary position and using machinery as an auxiliary to enhance their combat capabilities is, simply put, like humans using firearms.
Instead of turning people into weapons.
"How much money do you need? I might not have enough money saved up over the years..." Zhan Lin was a little embarrassed because she was short of money.
"No money is needed. Just provide the feedback I need." After all, the technology is his own, so labor costs don't matter. The materials are provided by the rebels, so for Xie Ning, it's practically a cost-free experiment.
In Hua Rui's laboratory, she was just an assistant and didn't have the opportunity to conduct experiments on her own, nor did she want to do such experiments.
As for the experimental subjects... Zhan Lin was just one of them.
If she wants to advance further, she needs to have something substantial to offer as leverage.
Zhan Lin, dangling a sleeve that was missing an arm, circled around Xie Ning's bookshelf with an incredulous expression. "Everyone reads e-books now, how come you still have so many paper books?"
Some of the books were tattered and torn by insects, making them look like antiques.
"Because it's easier to calm down when reading paper books." Xie Ning attached the sensor to the end of the robotic arm, then rubbed his sore eyes and handed the modified robotic arm to Zhan Lin to help her install it.
"I enhanced the neural sensing at the connection point, replaced some of the internal parts, and added some..." Xie Ning explained the modifications to the robotic arm to Zhan Lin in detail, then told Zhan Lin to remember to test it when she got back.
"My place is small and I don't have complete testing equipment. After you've done the test, remember to fill out the form I sent you. If you feel uncomfortable with anything, please contact me in time for improvement."
"Definitely."
After Zhan Lin left, Xie Ning immediately contacted Andrei. If there was anyone else who could be fitted with prosthetics and agree to his experimental plan, it would only be Andrei and his team.
After all, one of the benefits she mentioned was that they would get their prosthetic limbs replaced at half price, so Andrei probably wouldn't refuse.
Sure enough, Andrei agreed shortly after the message was sent, because Xie Ning was only modifying the prosthetic limb and would not harm anyone, and all she wanted was feedback.
The transformation of Andrei and the others was naturally different from that of Zhan Lin.
She wanted to know if Zhan Lin's modified prosthetic limbs had improved the combat effectiveness against the alien creatures, since sometimes security guards might lose their weapons and end up in hand-to-hand combat.
The children there can test other features of her prosthetics, such as adding a sensory analysis system to the prosthetic eye, applying levitation technology to the leg prosthetics, and whether it can give a person the ability to levitate, etc.
Not everyone can possess superpowers, but that doesn't mean people can't physically increase their combat strength.
Xie Ning meticulously listed all her various reform plans, including not only the plans but also the materials. She didn't have enough funds to purchase them all, and it wouldn't be appropriate to ask the rebels for everything at once; a give-and-take approach was the only sustainable solution.
She helped rescue the twins, so the rebels had to show their gratitude.
Xie Ning sent the edited list of materials to Yin Yue, and then received a string of ellipses, followed by Xuan Yi's barrage of questions.
"Xie Ning! What did you send?"
"Silver Moon's face has darkened; she's gone from a fair-skinned boy to a dark-skinned boy!"
Xuan Yi only sent two messages this time, and then disappeared without a trace. Xie Ning was a little confused, unaware that in a small apartment not far away, Xuan Yi was being thoroughly humiliated by Yin Yue.
