Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Expensive Gift_1

Lu Xiang had to forcibly remove Nami’s power module.

Although, after reading the document, this navigation robot’s volume returned to a normal level and its verbal aggression significantly reduced, it kept repeating the words "Lu Xiang is a good comrade", becoming a relentless loop.

In Sector Seventeen, especially in the current environment, this isn’t a blessing at all. If others heard it, it could be identified by the United Government.

To be safe, Lu Xiang put Nami inside a large box after it was completely silenced. The box was moved to his office. She entered the secret room through its concealed door, to prevent any overly curious Law Enforcers from reinstalling the power module and restarting it, allowing it to spread the rumor that "Lu Xiang is a good comrade" throughout the Law Enforcement Manor.

Indeed, the rebels are all despicable cowards.

After closing up the secret door again, Lu Xiang wiped off the fine sweat on her brow and began to ponder the content of the document. Even though it was one-sided from the rebels, some information was still worth noting.

For example, the United Government had developed a mechanical parasite that could be transmitted through nutrient injections. This parasite would enter the human body along with the injection. When it hatches into a scorpion-like state within the human body, it could alter the host’s consciousness. It’s not just the Seventh Country and the Twelfth Nation that were affected, likely all the neutral countries received shipments of these nutrient injections infested with mechanical parasites.

Only now did Lu Xiang understand why the cleansing operation had been so rigorous, that the United Government had personally conveyed the order for a city-wide manhunt to her.

This was not only to cover up their past actions in the Thirteen Neutral Countries but also because they were likely planning to apply these kinds of injections to certain cities under the United Government’s control in the future - namely, the Seventeenth Sector that has repeatedly left a bad impression on them.

If the major families couldn’t control this city, then they would force the citizens’ minds to be controlled through the parasites.

No wonder the United Government had popularized this technology to all cities at almost a giveaway price when nutrient injections were developed, ensuring that even the poorest people could survive through nutrient injections.

Food was gradually replaced, and nutrient injections became a necessity in people’s lives.

Within a year of the appearance of nutrient injections, more than 90% of residents had completed the procedure for the nutrient injection port at the prosthetics hospital, the surgeries of which were, of course, free.

During that time, the internet was filled with the praises and promotion of nutrient injections, proclaiming this groundbreaking technology would completely solve the famine, and United Government was willing to pay to solve the livelihood problems of people from all regions.

However, this seemingly free gift had already stated its price from the beginning.

Users had no knowledge about the specific components of the nutrient injections - or it could be said that they did not care about these high-tech products. Initially, organizations that were suspicious about nutrient injections dissolved under the pressure of public opinion, and people who raised warnings were labeled as sinners stirring up trouble.

Now, nutrient injections have infiltrated every aspect of peoples’ lives.

If the development company of the injections were to mix in parasite eggs, chemical substances, or even poison, people would still inject the nutrient fluid into their bodies through the injection port without hesitation.

Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical.

Lu Xiang made a mental note of this company’s name.

Even though she knew of the conspiracy, they couldn’t ask the citizens of Sector Seventeen to stop using the nutrient injections overnight without an alternative. This would be akin to cutting off their own retreat. At present, what the Law Enforcers could do was to tightly inspect each batch of nutrient injection manufacturers and covertly withhold the injections developed by Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical.

Of course, this measure could only buy some time for Sector Seventeen. To truly rid themselves of the threat of the mechanical parasites, they needed to find a substitute for the nutrient injections.

It seems, the road to correction is much more challenging than she had imagined.

Meanwhile, Song Lan’s research at home was stuck in a stalemate.

Elmon sat properly by his side, maintaining silence, and not disturbing his teacher. In his opinion, every self-talk of Song Lan at this moment carries significant instructional meaning.

Unable to probe the inside of physical objects.

After several experiments, Song Lan quickly discovered that even Elmon’s spiritual energy also had the same limitation. If he put a broken spoon into a wooden box, Elmon couldn’t restore it through the box.

If even this couldn’t be done, then there’s no need to talk about letting spiritual energy enter the human body.

The organs of the human body are far more delicate than safes or boxes. If they accidentally damaged an organ, it could quickly turn into a medical accident. At that time, not only would they fail to expel the parasites, but they might also leave the patient dead on the operating table.

Song Lan felt that it could likely lead to him and Elmon being jointly sued by the Twelfth Nation and the United Government.

But why...

Why couldn’t spiritual energy seep into the human body?

He spent the entire afternoon contemplating this question. After countless attempts, he finally caught a glimpse of the answer.

Because their sight couldn’t see the interior of the human body, and spiritual energy, as an extension of consciousness, naturally couldn’t reach the blind spots of their vision.

Aishi had said that as long as they genuinely felt the world, they could achieve perception through spiritual energy.

This point precisely indicated that spiritual energy itself had penetrative capabilities. It could penetrate walls, doors, gaps, and even if they were outside a building, they could clearly perceive the interior situation.

Could the real reason be subconscious?

He knew nothing about the inside of the human body. The knowledge about human anatomy he had learned in biology class had long been forgotten, hence in his subconscious, there was no operation method for injecting spiritual energy into the human body.

If one wanted to perceive the inside of the human body with spiritual energy, the psychic must have a thorough understanding of the human body’s structure.

Fortunately, it wouldn’t be difficult to understand human anatomy in Sector Seventeen.

There were tens of prosthetic hospitals alone. Almost every day, surgeries that completely dissected the human body to plant new objects took place in these hospitals. For the people in 2166, having a prosthetics doctor open their bodies was as common as them getting a blood draw in the past.

In fact, the price of daily-use prosthetics was not expensive. Middle-class families could afford it. With the assistance of these daily-use prosthetics, a lot of trouble in their daily life could be saved.

"Elmon."

Thinking of this, Song Lan spoke, "Are you ready for the next stage of training?"

"I’m ready. We can go at any time!"

"Hmm."

Song Lan nodded with satisfaction, "Our next destination, Rainforest Prosthesis Hospital!"
