Chapter 634 - 605: The New Si Anweisitan Project
The advent of full-body prosthetics could expand the range of human labor significantly.
It’s not about inserting dozens of micro missiles, Si Anweisitan, and various mechanical systems into a person to turn them into a living robot, as, after all, a killing robot serving as a bodyguard indeed has a deterrent effect, but on the battlefield, it is just a somewhat capable robot. If its energy gets depleted or it’s caught under enemy fire, it’s merely another number on the casualty list.
Bodyguards for important figures are indeed essential, but what is even more critical is the field of warfare:
Humans will operate more powerful war machines, such as supersonic aircraft.
Full-body prosthetics can use hydraulic systems and circuits to keep the mechanism running smoothly, and adding a pressure-motion balance system outside the brain shell can allow pilots to comfortably withstand more than ten G-forces while maintaining normal thinking at supersonic speeds.
Former extreme conditions would not disrupt human thought and action.
However, with the acceleration of a supersonic fighter at several G-forces, human reaction speeds actually struggle to keep up, even if replicating Si Anweisitan, it’s hard to surpass company products.
Moreover, Twiki’s incident also made Lille realize: V’s speed is swift, and both her combat skills and intelligence are top-notch, but her prosthetics are actually only of ordinary level among a host of legends.
Twiki is not known for combat abilities yet still managed to keep up with V’s speed during a surprise attack and escape.
And her superhuman reaction time does not come from Si Anweisitan, but a special biological product, meaning EMP is ineffective...
Who knows how many such enemies there are?
Legends appearing in Dog Town, mysterious attackers at the sports stadium, someone openly stealing Hansen’s airdrop, and the unseen high tech of Dog Town all made Lille feel increasingly alienated from that world’s "plot."
When one loses control over the course of events, the tension suddenly surges, and Lille feels an urgent need to upgrade her equipment.
Furthermore, in this world, although the global situation has recently tended toward calm, Lille knows, considering the character of Dalio, the CEO of Rocksen Oil Group, it’s unlikely that matters will end well. These are merely the calm before the storm; how could two aggressively expanding, conflict-interest groups, which have already clashed militarily, possibly just shake hands and make peace?
Lille also fears dying suddenly—then everything would end, and all that has been done would turn into dust.
So, technology that can lead must lead.
Gwen was a bit nervous—being seen by two people—she hasn’t been Spider Woman for a long time.
Is there even organized crime in New York anymore?
As for petty theft, her father’s NYPD could handle it effortlessly, especially since crime hubs like Hell’s Kitchen have been dismantled. Thieves would find that this line of work, slow to pay and dangerous, is not as good as honestly working in a factory.
However, she is still superhuman.
Her physical strength can completely rival that of a full-powered Lizard Man or even surpass it. What’s more excellent is her nervous system, conservatively estimated in multiple works to react in milliseconds, and more outrageously, reactions can occur in microseconds or even nanoseconds.
And the most useful thing is the miraculous Spider Sense, which can sense danger in advance in any state and prompt a reaction.
Her reason for nervousness is only one: she hasn’t honestly talked about this with Peter yet!
Lille earnestly said, "I need this data, I need you to undergo a full physiological scan, and then obtain your motor neuron information."
"I..." Gwen looked at Peter.
The latter scratched his head and then said to Gwen, "You’re Spider Woman, right? Actually... I’ve already suspected as much."
Gwen opened her mouth—
Suddenly realizing she had no reason to hide.
After all, there’s no powerful evil organization in this world hunting her superhero identity, which would put her family and friends in danger.
So, she glanced at Lille annoyedly and finally nodded, "Yes, it’s me. So, you want my physical data, don’t you think this request is a bit too..."
"Too offensive, you’re right, so I hope Peter will undertake this task."
Lille’s face was impressively thick-skinned as his words implied, "You two are going to end up together sooner or later, so it’s normal to explore each other’s bodies, right?"
When he said that, the two freshmen felt a bit embarrassed—they weren’t the type who had several boyfriends or girlfriends before university. On the contrary, they were... pure-hearted university students.
Embarrassedly scratching his head for a while, it was Peter, who was usually a bit slow, who first broke the silence and seriously asked Gwen, "Would you be willing?"
After he said it, he felt it sounded strange and his face instantly turned red, "I mean... helping the company and Lille, uh... means helping me too, because Lille and the company have helped me, so by helping them, you are helping me...
And we are also employees of the company, and doing well might even lead to a raise... uh, it’s not about the money, just..."
"Pfft," Gwen finally couldn’t hold back her laughter as she pushed against Peter’s mouth with her finger, "Of course I would, and it feels nice to share this... secret with someone else."
After speaking, she withdrew her finger and looked toward Lille—
Lille’s half-smiling expression was really...
Unspoken yet more apparent now:
Logically, Lille was about the same age as them.
But now, watching him calmly standing there waiting for her and Peter’s response...
It was like the feeling of a priest at a wedding as a witness—definitely not a peer their own age.
"What... what are you laughing at?"
"I’ve encountered something joyful," Lille smiled, "Thank you for your cooperation and help. This document... I assure you it will only circulate among the three of us.
When it comes time to go public, I’ll just say it’s something I came up with off the top of my head last night."
Gwen and Peter exchanged glances, and the previous awkwardness vanished...
Both had the same thought:
At times like this, they always saw Lille as an old man, and moreover, one who had been lonely all his life...
As for Lille, he truly reverted back to an old man’s mindset: seeing his young proteges find true love and strive together on a project was indeed comforting.
After all, both Peter and Gwen were diligent and hardworking kids, and under his effort, bringing together such a happy couple was a very fulfilling thing...
Just like the reflections an old man would have.
Saying so, Lille switched the screen to the next section:
"So starting now, Peter, you will be an independent researcher at the company, solely responsible for this project. I already have some ideas..."
