Chapter 213.2: Intelligence Type Players, Your Time Has Come

Regardless of what the two of them thought, Chu Guang was very calm.

He not only knew all the secrets of these players, but also knew that they were not afraid of pain. In theory, their ability to withstand damage would be stronger than that of ordinary wastelanders.

Sure enough, the player in front of him did not disappoint him, and he persisted for ten minutes before he began to feel a slight dizziness.

Noticing his reaction, Chu Guang immediately ordered him to turn off the power of the earphone and disconnect the link with the little robot.

After losing the link, the quadruped robot did not shut down immediately but entered the standby mode. According to the preset command, it retracted its four mechanical legs, disguising itself as a square-headed, ordinary metal brick. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was not a simple brick.

"I'm feeling a little dizzy, administrator," Eye Owe Money shook his head, and looked at Chu Guang nervously out of concern for the failure of the mission, "... I think I should be able to hold on for a little longer, so I can try it again?"

Chu Guang gave him an approving look and said, "No need, you've done a good job, you can rest for a while."

"Okay." The player nodded, he indeed needed to take a break.

A moment earlier, he was actually disconnected from the game.

If it weren't for his speedy re-login, he would have been lying on the ground.

"Unbelievable... He managed to last for ten minutes!" With an expression of disbelief on his face, Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "Has his pain nerve been removed?"

When the neural connections were overloaded, the first symptom would be a headache. The brain would start to sound the alarm, and then the pain would become unbearable. In the end, the user would either fall into a trance or even a coma.

Almost no one could last until the end, and many would often take off the earphone when the pain became unbearable.

However, the person testing it completely skipped the first two stages!

Honestly, he didn't think it was a good thing.

Losing the sense of pain would also mean losing their warning system.

However, Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, was thinking of something completely different.

Obviously, players with higher intelligence attributes had the ability to manipulate and control neural connection devices longer.

If so...

It should be reasonable to set the minimum attribute requirement of the equipment to 10 points of intelligence.

Stroking his chin, Chu Guang answered Yin Fang's question perfunctorily, "It's possible, but my guess is that it's not that he doesn't feel pain, it's just that the transmission of pain signals to the conscious body is blocked, so he simply can't feel it... But let's not discuss this question for now."

After a moment's pause, Chu Guang withdrew his gaze from Eye Owe Money who was shaking his head against the wall and looked at Yin Fang. "This duration is still a bit worrying. Ten minutes isn't enough to do anything, can't you find a way to make it longer?"

Yin Fang was speechless. "You aren't dissatisfied with getting ten minutes of pseudo-intellectual AI?"

"Intellectual AI?"

"Singularity technology is very troublesome to explain... In short, the original purpose of the neural access device is not to let you keep it on all the time, but to operate the device instead of AI at critical times, and accomplish some tasks that cannot be done by AI."

After a pause, looking at the robot on the ground, Yin Fang continued, "This is just an experimental machine. Later, I will develop a set of practical elementary AI for it, so that it can recognize a few simple commands, and carry out operations such as auto-return, standby in place, and follow the target, etc., when the neural connection is interrupted.

Mhm

, and I plan to put a camera on it later to use with laser mapping."

Hearing what he said, Chu Guang's face lit up and he immediately asked, "You have a way to make cameras?"

Yin Fang gave Chu Guang a strange look. "Of course, is there any difficulty in that? Security cameras of various models and resolutions can be found in many facilities, and some are still working two hundred years later... Although most of them are broken, as long as parts can be found, they can be fixed. It's not too much trouble."

The communication chip was also easy to handle.

A VM was like a tiny computer. Many components were integrated on a graphene circuit board, and it could have many applications just after a simple modification.

Including the processor and laser mapping system on this quadruped robot, it was all removed from the VM.

Chu Guang stared straight at him for a while before speaking. "Is it that simple?"

Yin Fang scratched the back of his head. "Uh, a little bit of basic knowledge is required, but nothing too profound. The Academy always gives each prospector a Wasteland Survival Guide, which records some accessible and usable parts on the wasteland in the form of pictures and texts, as well as more advanced modification knowledge, such as making some simple weapons, explosives, fuel and emergency medicines. The use of optical components and graphene circuit boards may be a little more advanced and requires some basic tools, but it is still not a big problem for prospectors above E-level."

Chu Guang was struck speechless. "..."

What the hell! Why didn't you say it sooner that you have such a good thing?!

It was not that Chu Guang had never thought about recycling the cameras in the bank buildings and other facilities before. He had even asked the knowledgeable players to take a few back to study them, but after taking them apart, none of those players knew how to fix them.

In the electronic devices of the pre-war civilization, the popularity of carbon-based chips was very high, and it had even replaced traditional silicon-based chips to a large extent. And this kind of camera adopted neither the CMOS technology in the traditional sense, nor the CCD technology.

Many players on the forum had discussed the problem and tried to fix it, but the final conclusion was nothing more than it was a technology that was realistically impossible.

After all, there was a generation gap in technology, and the real world was more than a century behind; there may even be a "technological explosion" in the middle.

This kind of technology was simply beyond the scope of players' understanding.

In the end, only the coated lens of those cameras could be recycled. Many optical sights in the weapon store of the outpost were made from them.

Xia Yan, who used to be a mercenary, was very good at making stuff like that, and her proficiency was probably similar to Yin Fang's proficiency in analyzing pre-war civilization data.

Looking eagerly at Dr. Yin Fang, Chu Guang immediately asked, "That skill book... I mean, did you bring that Wasteland Survival Guide with you?"

Yin Fang was dazed for a moment, nodded and said. "That? I haven't used it since I was promoted to D-level. I guess it's still at my home... But if you need it, I can sort it out for you, but it may take a while."

Chu Guang's eyes sparkled. "It's okay! I can wait!"

It was a skill book that may increase the Scavenging Skill by a few points... Oh no, maybe by 5 points!

How would he let such a good thing go!

Not only could the players use it as a reference, but his NPCs could also use it as teaching materials.

It didn't matter if they couldn't master the essence of it, at least they would know what garbage was valuable in the wasteland, and how useful they were.

That alone was already worth it!

The player standing next to Chu Guang looked at the communication between the administrator and Dr. Yin Fang with a confused expression.

Since there were no subtitles, he didn't understand the cutscene after watching for a long time.

Speaking of which, is this mission complete or not?

Finally unable to hold back, Eye Owe Money cleared his throat and was about to ask.

However, at this moment, the two NPCs seemed to have reached a consensus. Among them, Dr. Yin Fang picked up the robot, and the administrator looked at him with a serious face. "Thank you for your help! Thanks to your help, we now have a whole new understanding of neural access devices, and it won't be long before a new batch of gear hits the weapon store shelves. The mission reward has been distributed to your VM, I wish you a happy day!"

"???"

That's it?

There's no other reward?!

Seeing that the administrator took back the earphone and turned around to leave, Eye Owe Money panicked. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted in a hurry. "Wait! Administrator, I think that equipment has a serious design flaw!"

Hearing this sentence, the administrator really stopped and looked back at him strangely. "What design flaw?"

Eye Owe Money said immediately, "Internet connectivity flaw! No, I should say dizziness! When I was operating the robot just now, I suddenly felt a strong dizziness and almost fainted!"

Oh, this.

I thought it was something else.

Chu Guang smiled, looked at the warmhearted player and said, "Neural access devices will cause that to happen. Long-term use will cause a certain degree of load on the brain, not to mention the equipment that has not yet been developed..."

"I would like to be a tester for new equipment!" Before he could finish speaking, the player said solemnly, "Dear administrator, as a member of Shelter 404, I am ready to sacrifice myself for our cause! Please allow me to contribute to the research and development of the shelter equipment for the great cause of the revival of the Federation of People!"

Seeing the eager expression on the face of the player in front of him, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what the guy was thinking.

My goodness.

After giving such a high-sounding speech, it turns out that he just wants free equipment!

But...

It is not impossible.

Chu Guang was also curious about how the little guy who Yin Fang was holding in his arms would perform on the battlefield.

Since someone volunteered to be a guinea pig...

Guess there’s no need to issue a mission then!

After thinking for a while, Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang and said, "Do you need equipment testers?"
