Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest

It's twelve o'clock at night.

Yi rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the body of the former mayor.

"You woke me up in the middle of the night just to implant an implant in this dead man?!" Yi looked at Wu Guang in disbelief. She thought it was Wu Guang...

"Yes, the standard one for the neck. Oh, and if possible, prepare some fake blood. You don't need to worry about other organs. You just need to get the blood flowing to the brain."

Wu Guang said this and began to add the program with his subsequent ideas.

"..."

"What's wrong?" Wu Guang looked at Yi who had been staring at Lucius' face and asked puzzledly.

"This...can't it be the former mayor?"

"Yes, it's him."

"...He's a dead man, and adding implants to him, isn't this..." Yi wanted to say something to describe it, but after a long while she didn't know how to say it.

"I know what you mean. It's just an experimental idea. Whether it will succeed or not is another matter." Wu Guang was helpless.

"Okay, this is my first time operating on a dead person, I just want to see if the brain is active, right?"

"Correct."

Yi went to get the necessary materials.

Wu Guang began to think seriously.

First of all, the neural network can be scanned, although most of them have reported errors. After all, when a person dies, the neural network is the first to lose its activity. But this is not unsolvable. With current technology, an external neural network can be connected, but the effect is very poor, and the ability to control the body is also poor.

But now there is no need to control the body, but to control the reading of memory. It is not even autonomous control, but Wu Guangjing’s control.

After simply modifying the Soul Killer's operating method, Wu Guang brought the corpse to the operating table.

At this moment, everything was ready and the operation began.

Neck implants are the most common and are what most people have. They also require the most repairs.

The implantation was completed in less than half an hour, after which fake blood and some other nutrients were injected. The main blood vessels in the brain were simply sutured together to form a closed loop.

Wu Guang brought the mayor's head to the laboratory, recorded the data and began to activate it.

First comes the neurons, which require micro-current stimulation, then the artificial nerves take over and the area is memory.

Then Wu Guang put on a helmet and connected a data cable to the socket on his neck.

Wu Guang transmitted it along with his own soul imprint, but of course the result was not smooth sailing.

A dead brain lacks too much. Moreover, it is already dead and old, and the blood inside has formed plaques, which cannot be flushed away by the fake blood.

Wu Guang added a Mewtwo recording chip to his head and began to record everything that followed.

This busyness lasted until the next morning.

Wu Guang frowned as he looked at the scanned data.

Lost in thought.

After a busy night, his brain was taken over by the artificial neural network. He could even directly control the brain to produce phenotypes, but the problem was that he could not read the data, as if the data no longer existed and had been deleted.

What Mewtwo recorded was basically a blur of black.

"So what am I missing?" Wu Guang could clearly feel that he was very close to success, but the problem was that he was missing an opportunity.

However, one's own soul imprint can only be transmitted to the implant and cannot enter the brain.

Wu Guang looked at the screen, at a loss.

Yi had already woken up and went to Wu Guang's laboratory immediately. As a result, she saw the dead head blinking at her, which scared away all her sleepiness.

"You, you, you...Wu Guang, you resurrected the mayor?!"

"No, I only revived his ability to control his facial muscles and eyelids. As for his brain, I didn't revive it at all."

"..." Yi came over, looked him up and down, and then felt fear unconsciously: "Don't you feel it's eerie and weird? This person's head looks alive..."

Wu Guang looked at the head for a moment, then nodded. Then he suddenly realized something and stood up: "Yi, can you estimate the time of brain death?"

"This... is not impossible."

"Check how long the mayor has been dead. I mean brain dead."

"You can't be saying..." Yi couldn't believe it.

"You do as you are told."

Then, data checking and brain tissue slice observation began.

"I'm afraid the time of death is more than half a month. This is a vague result. After all, you used fake blood to flush it all night, and some dead cells were replaced by you. The accuracy is much reduced."

"That's enough." Wu Guang watched all this in silence. No wonder he always felt something was wrong. It turned out that he could clearly control it through his brain, but he had no memory. In other words, this person was not Mayor Lucius, but a cloned brain with only basic control. This also explained why Wu Guang could take over the facial nerves so easily.

"Mayor Lucius is not dead? Or was he forced to die?"

Wu Guang was muttering to himself.

Yi looked at the mayor's head, then looked at Wu Guang, and reached out to touch the other's forehead.

"You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? You say you're not dead with only your head left?"

"This is a fake. Most of the clones in the hospital are organs, but there is nothing that says they can't clone the whole body. Although the cost of cloning the whole body and the lifespan of the cloned body are limited, this is enough to forge a fake mayor."

"No way..."

"Although I can't guarantee it, and this is only my first time using this technology, I have tried to cover the entire brain with artificial neural networks. Theoretically, what the brain lacks is brain waves, and I also rushed in with the soul mark, trying to generate brain waves, and finally succeeded through neurons, but...his brain is like empty, there is nothing."

"I always thought it was because of my poor technique, but your analysis tells me that this brain is a fake, and the mayor has only been dead for less than three days."

"..."

"Is it possible that my skills are not up to par and the detection was wrong?" Yi still prefers to believe that he made a mistake.

But Wu Guang shook his head.

"Whether it's a mistake or not, this is my last clue. Even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter. No wonder the trauma team's chip was not found in the NCPD clues, because there is no match at all."

"?"

"It's okay. By the way, this body..."

"Don't worry, I put it in the basement a long time ago."

"it is good."

Wu Guang called Uncle Liang.

"I'm sorry Wu Guang, I didn't find any other family members of the mayor."

"It doesn't matter anymore, Uncle Liang, what changes have occurred in Mayor Lucius in the past month?"

"Variety?"
