Phantom limb pain, also known as phantom limb pain, means that the patient feels that the severed limb is still there and pain occurs there.

A person who has had his hand amputated may also feel that the hand he has lost is being cut, burned, or electrocuted.

Some people believe that the essence of "phantom limb pain" is the corresponding nerve deficit after the limb disappears. If the brain cannot receive nerve signals from that place, and cannot understand the fact that "the arm has been removed," it will think that the limb is damaged, and create a "warning" signal in the brain.

Of course, there are also theories that this is due to the compensatory mechanism of the cerebral cortex - after losing part of a limb, the brain will mistakenly regard the feeling of other parts as the feeling of the original limb, resulting in a huge impact on "touch" and other perceptions. contradiction.

This was once an important hurdle in the process of human prosthetics - when all the nerve plexuses in the human body disappear, the brain will be at a loss.

The simplest way is to send deceptive signals to the brain through the chip, making the brain think that one's limbs still exist.

But Xiangshan's problem was different. Because he had just undergone spinal nerve surgery, the new spinal nerves were not completely fused, and there would be some bugs in the signals sent to the brain. After these erroneous signals are incorrectly processed by the brain, some kind of phantom pain will occur.

At the same time, the signals Xiangshan sends to the prosthetic body through the spinal nerves will also deteriorate to varying degrees.

Originally, Xiangshan chose to block the signal, and then use the remote mode to use the device in his brain to release the wireless signal.

But when the electromagnetic pulse covered the signal, Xiangshan had to use the spinal nerve that had not yet fully healed to command this new body.

The pain overwhelmed Xiangshan's consciousness like a tide. Xiangshan felt as if his long-defunct body was being struck by thunder, burned by fire, and all kinds of feelings were hitting him.

And this pain also evoked more memories.

That was the scene of cooperating with other researchers to record data on the hospital bed...

That was the scene of being shattered into pieces in the explosion...

It was a scene of falling to the ground, facing a young man pressing forward step by step...

…

In an instant, the illusion disappeared like a bubble. Xiangshan made an emergency defensive move.

However, due to the fact that his spinal nerves had not yet recovered, there were undue flaws in his fists and feet. Ulster immediately lost control and then bit back.

In a hurry, Xiangshan could only block the opponent's bite with his arms.

Sparks flew out. The outer armor on Xiangshan's arms shattered like cookies.

Xiangshan took advantage of this little time to turn over and restrict the opponent's movements.

This is another drawback of artificial fiber muscles. Muscles rely on fiber contraction to generate strength, and muscle fiber relaxation cannot provide strength. An organism needs a set of muscles on each side to restore the limb. The muscle groups on both sides are of different sizes, so the "inward" and "outward" forces are inconsistent. This is seen in most amniotes. Amniotes have a structure called the "temporal foramen" on their skulls, which allows more masseter muscles to be attached to the head, so the bite force crushes more primitive vertebrates. However, due to the huge gap in the size of the "inward" and "outward" muscle groups of the masseter, many beasts have a huge gap in strength between "opening their mouths" and "closing their mouths".

Small crocodiles such as caiman cannot even break free after being pinched by humans.

This is also one of the working principles of many grappling techniques.

Artificial muscle fibers are indeed far better than natural animal muscles in this regard, but they are still not as good as a structure like a hydraulic rod that has similar strength in both directions.

Xiangshan barely controlled Alster's upper limbs, but because he lost the opportunity, he was unable to lock the more threatening head.

The dog's upper and lower jaws were like hydraulic shears destroying Xiangshan's arms.

A smile finally appeared in the dog's mouth. He and Xiang Shan's limbs were clamped on each other, but now that he was above him, Xiang Shan had lost the possibility of relying on his weight. Xiangshan couldn't even let go of the hug he had made. His prosthetic body has greater advantages in speed and explosiveness. It was impossible for Xiangshan to get a second chance to be dragged into a ground battle.

This is his victory!

"For the sake of everyone being of the martial arts family, I would like to give you a few heartfelt words at the end, young man." The old dog chuckled and said: "Human instinct is a negative legacy. The ancestor of martial arts once said that those who enter the martial arts will be You need to fight against your own instincts. It is said in martial arts scriptures that the innate body is the most humble..."

This sentence penetrated into Xiang Shan's mind like a key.

More, more memories, together with the scene just now, stirred in Xiangshan's brain waves.

——Let’s clean up the negative legacy given to us by our ancestors!

——Let’s cut off the physiological basis for the Monkey King’s birth!

——Let human beings get rid of the slavery of their own genes! Let everyone have the opportunity to become "the self" they want to be!

——We are the ones who stole the fire from heaven!

At this moment, the wind was calm, the waves were calm, the clouds stopped, and the flags stopped.

The memories become clear in an instant, and the "past" fades away like the tide, finally settling on a certain picture.

A car is parked on the street. Then, the people in the car looked outside the car and stretched out their hands to a man in ragged clothes who looked like a beggar. "Beggar" snorted coldly, but still held the hand.

——We must admit that we have indeed overestimated ourselves.

——"Productivity determines production relations"... I originally thought that if we develop the most powerful technology, develop the strongest productivity, and entrust it to humans, more advanced changes will naturally occur.

——You are indeed an idiot. The naked ape living in the steel forest has no difference in brain structure from its African ancestors 50,000 years ago. Their poor nervous systems have long been unable to correctly understand society. Most people simply learned a few new words from the pioneers and let those words do their thinking for them.

——The naked ape instinctively longs for the Monkey King to appear. This is their irresistible nature. Even a populist movement that is supposed to place the greatest emphasis on civilians will inevitably degenerate into a large-scale ceremony to express loyalty to leaders and love for idols. Isn't this the first time in history that this kind of thing has happened?

——Even if we insert a chip into their brains, they will not use these extra resources to think carefully. They will only follow their instinct to worship the new monkey king. Hopeless.

——Ha, brother, have you complained enough?

——It’s not enough, how could it be enough?

——Well, it’s enough if you still have the energy to curse. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

——Not yet successful? Hasn’t it already failed?

--Failure is the mother of success.

——What else can we do? The world has been completely taken over. We have accomplished this in our lifetime! Ha ha ha ha……

--Um. Indeed it is. We thought that when the last poor man became a Homo vexillues, we would have simply eliminated all famine. But it is undeniable that we have also created irresistible strong men. Speaking of which, from the distant past, technology was controlled by the strong.

——Research and development requires resources, production requires resources...

——But it’s like what the group used to say. "Knowledge" should be the common wealth of mankind. Why should the rich claim their ownership? In the final analysis, the scientific researcher system derived from the European aristocratic system is not fundamentally different from the social class of knights. Glory belongs to oneself, and martial arts serve the master.

——There is a big problem here. From nobles and feudal lords to capitalists and bureaucrats, the monkey king in everyone's head has never changed. It’s just that capitalists and bureaucrats are always stronger than landlords, so we all feel that this is progress, and this progress will continue. The route is just wrong.

--so? It's too late to say anything now. The world has lost its resistance.

——We can also create the fire of resistance and give the fire to the people.

——Are you still stupid? Those naked apes...

——That group of naked apes are also "Homo sapiens". Among the naked apes, there are of course countless idiots. But on the 10,000-year journey of Homo sapiens, it is not all ignorance, but also sparks of wisdom and true heroes.

——Let’s create a new technology. Combine open access and decentralized production to make something that anyone can use...

- I'm going to call it...

"Martial arts is not such a thing!" Xiangshan's spirit escaped from the demonic calamity and immediately entered the realm of Mingjing Zhishui.

He smiled and said: "What qualifications does an idiot with bad martial arts have to repeat what I said here?"

"What?" The dog seemed to be irritated: "You guy, you actually said that my orthodox training of animal imitation is wrong?"

"The most important thing in the path of imitating beasts is simulation. The limbs and trunk are all the same as the living body. By pretending to be a pet, even if someone touches it, no difference can be felt, so that intelligence can be stolen. The second priority is speed. If you can't escape, How can an intelligence thief accomplish his mission? Therefore, among the three hundred martial arts designed by Wuzu Xiangshan, it is the weakest and the least suitable for transformation into frontal combat. After all, there are hundreds of martial arts in this world. A kind of prosthetic design that is more suitable for combat than a deformed gray wolf. Those designs can either display other assassination techniques or have corresponding military martial arts designs. Why cut off your feet to fit the shoes and get yourself a dog skin in order to learn the way of imitating beasts? This kind of injustice What’s the point of a prosthetic body that’s suitable for fighting and goes out to kill the enemy without being properly disguised?”

Ulster Granddog has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, but he has never studied the history of the martial art of imitating animals, let alone thought about this issue.

There was a slight flaw in his spirit.

At this moment, Xiangshan suddenly exerted his strength. He raised a bridge from his waist and pushed the dog's prosthetic body off the ground, without any strength. At the same time, Xiangshan's back, shoulders, elbows, and palms were connected in a line, and a powerful force shot out like a big gun.

Xiangshan's outer armor, which was on the verge of collapse, fell off his arms like a glove, buying him a little space. His arm just penetrated the dog's mouth and stretched out.

A scream sounded immediately.

I'm really sorry. I've been suffering from insomnia recently. My biological clock collapsed yesterday. I didn't update it tonight. I'll make up for it when I have a chance. Feel sorry.
