When Ren Xiaosu was fighting with the two officers, he clearly saw the blood vessels on the back of their hands light up with a silver glow. A normal person's blood vessels should look blue from the outside, but at that moment, it was obvious that some special power was surging in their bodies, causing the light to shine from the inside out.
At that time, Ren Xiaosu had already guessed that it might be the nanomachines. And now, it looked like it was indeed the case.
The silver glow in the two officers' bodies was like a stream converging into a river, gathering more and more on the surface of their skin. Ren Xiaosu cautiously approached them bit by bit, still hesitating about whether he should obtain this unknown power.
He had always been cautious about the unknown.
"I just said that superstitions can't be trusted, and now I'm using it myself. Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Ren Xiaosu was having a headache.
During his physical examination at the military camp, he discovered that the nanomachines were being controlled by someone in an attempt to connect to his mind. But now that there was no one controlling them, he suddenly realized he had a natural control over them.
Nanomachines did not have any consciousness. Machines were machines after all. In the past, nanomachines could not be used in the military precisely because they were too small and could not be loaded with overly complex programs.
But after the breakthrough in neuronal connection technology, the human brain became their processor, while the nanomachines were just the execution terminal. As the saying went, they were purely tools.
But the nanomachines needed to be matched with DNA before they could be used. Everyone's DNA was like a unique password to match their nanomachines.
The nanomachines would determine whether they were in an operable state through authorization. A matched nanomachine was like a password-protected safe. Without the password-protected safe, it could only stop working and deny access to it.
Therefore, since the two officers could not control each other's nanomachines, it was the same for others.
But when Ren Xiaosu's mind came into contact with them, he only felt that the nanomachines were in a "sluggish" state at first. It was as though there was some barrier preventing him from contacting them.
But when he scanned them with his mind, the typewriter in the palace suddenly typed out a line of small words.
"Reloading program …
"Restoring factory settings …
"Erasing online program …
"Matching successful."
Then … Ren Xiaosu discovered that he could actually control these little things.
The silver river flowed along the snow towards him and eventually gathered in his hands along his legs. The nanomachines extracted from the bodies of these two officers combined were only the size of a fist.
No wonder he was so weak. It turned out that there were only so few nanomachines in his body.
After the nanomachines lost their owners, they reopened their ports and waited for the nanomachines to be reconfigured. Under normal circumstances, they would have to be sent back to the original factory to be processed. However, the palace skipped all the steps and helped Ren Xiaosu reconfigure the nanomachines through the reopened ports.
If the port hadn't been reopened, the palace probably wouldn't have been able to do this.
The silver ball of liquid metal kept changing into a strange shape in Ren Xiaosu's palm. In the blink of an eye, it had covered the surface of Ren Xiaosu's palm with a metal glove. But after they were connected to the neurons, it was as if they were a part of his body. It didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all.
He punched the body of the off-road vehicle, but the steel on the vehicle gave off a creaking sound before collapsing. Meanwhile, the nanomachines on Ren Xiaosu's hands were completely unscathed.
In the past, when Luo Lan mentioned nanomachines, Ren Xiaosu was a little dismissive of them. But now, his view of them had changed a little.
If he could get a body full of nanomachines as armor, wouldn't he not have to use his shadow clone to block bullets in the future? After all, it would be quite painful.
Of course, his view of them had only changed a little. Ren Xiaosu felt he would have to get more members of the Li Consortium to extract more nanomachines before he could find out.
Since two members of the Li Consortium had disappeared while they were out on patrol, someone would definitely come to investigate. Ren Xiaosu wondered if the people who came to investigate would have nanomachines on them.
Ren Xiaosu instructed his shadow clone to put the two corpses into the car and carry them to the lake he remembered. He had to be more careful when it came to getting rid of the corpses. Otherwise, what would he do if no one came to deliver nanomachines in the future?
When he killed them, he didn't use a knife as he was afraid of leaving behind bloodstains. But now, he was even more careful as he was afraid of leaving behind any clues.
Ren Xiaosu asked as he walked forward with his shadow clone, "Old Xu, do you think there are more or less nanomachines in their bodies?"
"If there's a high or low synchronization rate, then there must be a difference in the number of nanomachines they can control, right?"
"Do you think the people who come next time will be a little stronger? That's pretty good too. They might even have more nanomachines in their bodies. "
"You're still a little shy. Why aren't you saying anything?"
It was said that details determined success or failure. So in order not to expose his identity, Ren Xiaosu decided to rename his shadow clone "Old Xu."
Before throwing the car into the lake, Ren Xiaosu took off the uniforms of the two officers and threw them into his storage space. What if they came in handy in the future? These were the uniforms of the Li Consortium's colonel.
After he filled the car with rocks and threw it into the lake, he returned to the outpost. When the students saw him coming back, they came up to him and asked, "Platoon Commander, how did it go?"
"It's done." Ren Xiaosu answered concisely, "Go back and get some sleep. We still have to wake up early tomorrow."
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu saw the Wolf King standing at the top of a mountain in the distance. He thought for a moment and then headed into the mountains.
Actually, Ren Xiaosu did not know why he wanted to communicate with the Wolf King so much. As he walked along the mountain path, he suddenly felt that it was sometimes easier to get along with wolves than with humans.
After walking for a short distance, Ren Xiaosu saw the Wolf King slowly walking down from a ridge. He had originally wanted to have a chat with the Wolf King, but when he saw it, he did not know what to say.
The Wolf King just looked at him calmly. Ren Xiaosu thought about how it had chased him all over the wilderness a year and a half ago.
He suddenly remembered what the students said about returning the favor. Ren Xiaosu broke the ice by saying, "Um … since you've already given me a rabbit and a goat, should I give you something in return?"
The Wolf King did not say anything, but Ren Xiaosu could feel its muscles slowly relaxing. This meant the Wolf King was slowly letting down its guard.
Seeing that the Wolf King did not respond, Ren Xiaosu probed, "Since you don't know how to speak, how about I give you a few gifts to choose from? You see, you're always running around the mountains all by yourself. I can understand that even a king is lonely, but why don't I give you the Wolf King of Mount Kun and have him chat with you? Since you're both Wolf Kings, you might have something in common. "
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu had a feeling that the Wolf King could understand him!
This was because when he mentioned the Wolf King of Mount Kun, the Wolf King had a look of disdain on its face. He even wondered how the Wolf King could make such an expression!
