"As expected..."
Although he didn't have much hope in the first place, Xia Xu was still a little disappointed when he got this answer.
From the perspective of plot logic, the final boss like the Wolf Giant and the protagonist Hong Yan are naturally unique and difficult to replicate, at least in the short term, unless there is a sequel or something like that.
Even from a normal logic point of view, the reason why the wolf giant is so powerful, in addition to the specially formulated giant glands, is mainly due to the indestructible and slightly controlled growth of the degraded steel skeleton. It is naturally impossible to replicate before mastering the steel skeleton transformation technology.
Hong Yan also said as Gu Haiming said, if the Gardner organization really has a complete and systematic manufacturing technology, then they would not have to capture him alive.
The Gardner organization wants to capture Hong Yan alive, which also indirectly proves that they cannot replicate this miracle, so they urgently need this successful model for reference and this perfect creation born out of accident for research.
"What if you ask him and Gardner's original research team to cooperate with you? Are you sure you can restore this technology?"
Xia Xu asked.
"he?"
Gu Haiming was slightly startled, then his eyes lit up: "Boss, could it be that you brought back the perfect experimental subject mentioned in the information?"
Xia Xu nodded: "Well, Dr. Cui should be a little resistant to this kind of experiment, so let Dr. Cui try it for the time being."
"Great! With this successful example as a reference, it should be no problem to reverse engineer the transformation technology. Gardner still has the original transformation records."
Gu Haiming was overjoyed when he heard this, and acted as if he couldn't wait to go to the hospital to find Cui Xinghua.
"Wait, don't be in a hurry."
Xia Xu stopped Gu Haiming helplessly and said, "Dr. Gu, I came here this time not only to ask for the information but also to have an idea. I hope you can give it some thought and see if it can be realized."
"Oh? What's the idea?"
Gu Haiming looked doubtful.
"Let's go check out the wolf giant first."
Xia Xu smiled slightly, kept it a secret at first, and took Gu Haiming to the laboratory where the wolf giant was imprisoned.
This laboratory was specially built to imprison and study dangerous organisms. The walls are made of a finger-thick alloy. In normal state, the four sides are covered with high-strength glass for easy observation. In case of emergency, a layer of alloy plate can be put down at any time.
The interior is actually a sunken space, like a Colosseum. Standing outside the laboratory, one can look down on the interior through the glass windows. If one enters, there is also a circular platform.
At this moment, the wolf giant was imprisoned below, with his entire body tied tightly to a test table. His limbs that had been severed had surprisingly grown back.
With the help of the beastman's self-healing glands and the ability to control bone growth through the transformation of degraded steel bones, it seems like a very simple matter for the wolf giant to reattach broken limbs.
"Could it be that the idea you mentioned is related to it?"
Gu Haiming followed Xia Xu in without knowing why, and stood on the circular platform, looking down at the wolf giant below.
"roar!!"
The wolf giant seemed to have noticed the arrival of Xia Xu and Gu Haiming, especially Xia Xu. His keen sense of smell allowed it to instantly recognize the breath of this enemy, and he struggled frantically with red eyes.
"That's right."
Xia Xu glanced at the wolf giant calmly, then turned his head to look at Gu Haiming and smiled: "If enough nutrition is provided, this wolf giant should be able to grow even bigger, right?"
"That's right."
Gu Haiming nodded.
Although it cannot grow infinitely, it is still possible for the wolf giant to grow to five or six meters under the dual effects of the giant gland and the beast transformation, but that requires huge external nutrition intake.
"Then can we further accelerate its size, remove unnecessary organs, and directly use life support equipment to maintain basic physiological functions?"
Xia Xu smiled.
"You can, but why do you want to do this?"
Gu Haiming was a little confused.
The organs of a living organism are actually mainly used to transport and metabolize substances. The most core ones are the heart and lungs, but these two are also the easiest to replace with machines.
Moreover, organs such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines can theoretically be removed on a large scale, and only a very small part or the help of external equipment is needed to maintain basic physiological functions.
Not to mention the digestive system, you can just cut it off and give it an IV.
Since the digestive system has been removed and replaced with intravenous infusion, the excretory system is naturally unnecessary.
Since there is no excretion, the related metabolic organs are simply removed and replaced with regular dialysis.
This way, most organs can be removed.
But the wolf giant's internal organs are already in good condition, so isn't it unnecessary to do this
"I want to implant a cockpit inside it and transform it into a kind of biological armor."
Xia Xu quietly looked down at the wolf giant and said calmly: "You Xin has reverse-engineered the human behavior algorithm of the centipede ridge. We can completely destroy the consciousness center of the wolf giant and directly use the human behavior algorithm to force control.
However, if it is just remote control, first of all, there is a lack of feedback from the five senses, and there is also a difference in spatial perception, so it is best to enter its body directly and synchronize the action data with the centipede spine..."
Xia Xu briefly explained his thoughts.
Werewolves are beastly people with a cannibalistic nature, and can basically be said to be naturally on the opposite side of humans.
Moreover, the wolf giant caused thousands of human casualties during its rampage a few days ago, so Xia Xu certainly would not have any mercy on it.
Anyway, this guy is destined to be a test subject, so naturally we have to do whatever it takes to maximize the benefits.
Now that the human behavior algorithm has been analyzed, it is possible to create centipede ridges or other forms of equipment.
The mechanical centipede spine essentially bypasses the conventional nerve signal system and directly controls muscle movement and nerve reflexes through electric current stimulation.
The wolf giant is just a product of biology, not something supernatural. In theory, it is entirely possible to destroy its own consciousness and directly use the mechanical centipede spine to forcibly control it.
There are many forms of control. One is to directly edit a complete action system through a program, and then control its actions in the same way as controlling a robot.
However, this kind of control is obviously very rigid and very complicated. Organisms are countless times more complex than robots, and there are no ready-made drivers for you to use.
This control mode is equivalent to using programs to replace the subconscious of living things. From instinctive reactions to every action and every muscle movement, the amount of calculations and workload involved is terrifying, and the effect produced will be very rigid, which is completely not worth the effort.
The second form is much more reliable and simpler, which is synchronization.
If the consciousness of the wolf giant is erased, then the consciousness of the controller will be used to replace it. The controller will also wear the centipede spine, and then synchronize the nerve signals received by his own centipede spine to the centipede spine of the wolf giant.
As humanoid creatures, although there are many differences in body structure, there is absolutely no problem with basic movement control, and they can walk, sit, and lie down.
But there are also many problems with doing this. Remote control relies on communication signals, and if the distance is too far, there will inevitably be delays. It may also be blocked, interfered with, or even reversely controlled.
Even if we put aside these hidden dangers, its functional defects are obvious.
The centipede's spine cannot perceive synchronously, lacks the five senses, has no sense of pain, and no sense of vibration after being hit. It may not even realize that it is being attacked, and its movements will also appear clumsy.
And most importantly, it faces the same problem as brain control technology: the difference in spatial perception.
This is just like driving a remote controlled car and actually sitting in the driver's seat and driving the car, the effects that can be achieved are completely different.
When you sit inside and drive, your field of vision, direction, and coordinates are the same. The vehicle is, to a certain extent, an extension of your limbs, and it comes naturally and effortlessly to operate it.
As for remote-controlled cars, even just through remote monitoring images, it is good enough if they can just avoid crashing into the wall. It is very likely that they will not even notice the obstacles around them, not to mention the most important issues of balance and center of gravity in human activities.
This synchronous mode is essentially a 'remote control car', and a much less efficient one.
If people are too far away, the control effect is poor; if they are too close, there is no protection at all. If a battle really breaks out, the enemy will definitely capture the leader first.
Therefore, with slight improvements based on synchronization, we have the third solution - biological armor.
Directly catalyze the wolf giant to become larger, remove unnecessary internal organs, implant a cockpit, behavior controller, and a series of life-sustaining and auxiliary equipment into it, and transform it into a special biological armor.
Not only that, Xia Xu also got inspiration from EVA, and perhaps he could cover the wolf giant's body with another layer of mechanical armor.
On the surface, EVA looks like a Gundam-like mecha, but inside it is actually a cloned humanoid life form.
The biological armor modified from the wolf giant can naturally be covered with mechanical armor on the outside, which can not only disguise the wolf giant as a mecha, but also play an auxiliary and protective role. Life-support equipment can also be placed on the external armor.
In fact, modern industry is fully capable of manufacturing robots and exoskeleton armor. The reason why it has not appeared has been mentioned when making passive exoskeletons. It is difficult to achieve such precision while ensuring output power, and there is also a lack of energy.
But with the wolf giant as the basis, the action mainly relies on the power of the wolf giant itself. The external armor naturally does not need to consider the energy problem. It is mainly used as protective armor, plus some monitoring, scanning, and life-sustaining equipment.
Of course, it can also be accompanied by a certain amount of power increase.
The main reason why true exoskeleton armor is difficult to achieve, apart from energy, is that it is difficult to create a mechanical transmission structure that is both flexible and compact.
The wolf giant mainly relies on its own physical strength. This kind of amplification does not need to worry about power and other issues. Using small motors and hydraulic systems can always provide a small amount of power amplification. Moreover, even a passive exoskeleton with a purely mechanical structure can have a good effect.
By then, it will have the wolf giant's strong physique and steel skeleton inside and alloy armor and hydraulic power system outside. It will be a super weapon that combines biology and machinery.
