People are not clear, perhaps the limit of biology is there because most of the research on Si Anweisitan has also stalled— the death rate was too high, and now there is simply no resource available to supply so many human bodies for experimentation; it’s simply a loss-making proposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This limit is unreachable even for AI, or rather even less likely to be broken: AI relies more on model training than humans, learning is their strength, and it is also their shackle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lille could try to break this limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the artificial spine I’m currently using.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille pointed to a photo of his own spine on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this spine, Lille felt a mix of emotions and a sense of daze: this was where everything began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what his previous life had been like, in this life, he began as a young man on the brink of death, awoken in a hospital hanging on to life by a thread held by his mother, and in another world, saved by a female thug, after which the two of them pulled off a big job together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military Technology \"Chapter\" Model 6, a combination of Si Anweisitan, network access pod chips, and a military spine, each area employing cutting-edge laboratory technology—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Lille, he could run the Si Anweisitan software on it, overclock his brain, accelerate his thoughts, run the Jing Yuan-Bragg Protocol, and obtain all the abilities of a Hacker in Cyberspace without using an access pod; even with an access pod, he could use this skill to overclock and crush the computing power of other hackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this functionality was not open to humans in itself; the spine from Military Technology \"Chapter\" Model 6 was designed for AI use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time Munemasa used Lille’s spine, he clearly pointed out this issue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: This spine was originally adapted for the operation of AI neural networks; human consciousness should be cut off at the access pod chip. This spine isn’t for human use, so I think you might naturally be one of us... our own kind.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: Humans often say we are artificial, but from our perspective, it’s humans who are artificial. Our intelligence is born from countless circuit operations and flashes, whereas you humans are produced by humans, nurtured and transformed by society, with no self, even learning behavior is forced upon you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: It’s only natural that such humans aren’t compatible with the machine because they were innately designed to be trapped within an imperfect shell, any modification would cause their core code to crash.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: Perhaps you are the first to be born on a biological body... a critical body of danger.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... These electrodes’ design... is too aggressive, if the voltage were to reach the specification marked on each circuit, human brain cells would burn out...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter gazed at the design on the screen with shock, his muttering pulling Lille back from his reminisces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Peter, Gwen in this world clearly had fine grades but too little scientific research experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all she thought was that the design was simply unscientific; people would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter was different; a proverbial lightning bolt suddenly struck his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human brain cells would burn out, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the transgenic lizard’s brain cells simply couldn’t burn out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a student and colleague of Professor Conners, he knew Lille’s physical condition better than the outside world: Lille had indeed been disabled, and people didn’t even know how he managed to stand up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the truth was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An artificial limb with craftsmanship and technology far beyond this era, a prosthetic system that was unimaginable, based on... a nearly self-destructive mode of operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can replace that prosthetic,\" said Peter promptly, \"The damage to the cells is too severe! We already have better solutions now, if we need to replace...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do need to replace parts of my body to reduce cell loss, but not the prosthetic—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can see, this type of prosthetic has a neural enhancement mechanism, which substitutes electrical signals for biological signals, allowing reaction time and bodily speed to exceed theoretical limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this mechanism requires a long time to explore and experiment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter was taken aback and took another look at the chart of Si Anweisitan: \"But such enhancement is too risky... Neural stimulation could very likely cause severe hallucinations, immune responses, and other unknown problems... The risks are too high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille pointed to his head: \"The risks are high, indeed, but is it possible? The successful case is right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need a set of samples, a more... outstanding nervous system sample, to optimize this system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why?\" Peter asked, puzzled, \"The current nervous system is already sufficient, we just need to optimize the technology on this foundation to obtain a more anthropomorphic nervous system, the cost of enhancing this system...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille didn’t wait for Peter to finish, controlling the content on the screen to change:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Octopus on V’s Si Anweisitan had already broken through the 30% Time Stop Effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this breakthrough was based on V’s Si Anweisitan, which was not completely \"Reality Distorted,\" with its neural electrodes nanometers below all lumped into a mess, perfectly suitable for use with the existing technology of Atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille pointed at the operating logic and software package on the screen: \"This is the Si Anweisitan software that is compatible with our current full-body prosthetic neural system, and it has been tested...on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The limit of the Time Stop Effect of the software on Lille’s body was actually on par with the most advanced Si Anweisitan \"Apogee\" of Military Technology, which could reach 85%, but it was his body that was too slow, so it didn’t look impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hackers who had experienced Lille’s attack in the network all said it was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter was completely stunned: although they were used to Lille pulling new gadgets out of his pocket, when he really saw Lille pull out a new gadget again, he was still a bit dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille continued, \"Running this system can increase brain reaction speed by about 12%. If one day, we can reach the level of this spine in my body, we can make this number reach 85%, making time slow down to 15% of its original pace in human perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the best-case scenario, the full-body prostheses will reach an excellent human reaction level, taking tennis as an example, a serve of 150 kilometers per hour would only need 0.03 seconds to respond, judge, and return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But bullet speed can easily reach two, three, or even four times the speed of sound, and this is the human limit:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If targeted by a gun, survival is absolutely impossible, unless you are a superhuman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Peter understood what it meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This system was made for humans, but humans have limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why look for him and Gwen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The focus suddenly shifted to Gwen, who said with a befuddled face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1379,"2026-06-03T12:33:33.139Z","2026-06-03T12:33:39.373Z",1,"novelbin.me","1798f89d4862c75e4f160cda45de96eef53e3fd99c513100d11a2622ed64e581","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-640","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-638",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
