It is also possible to simply copy, for instance, Sasha's Russian skills, by means of data copying and downloading, to master a language in five minutes and become as fluent as a native speaker.
You can imagine how powerful this technology would be once it is fully refined.
And it was through the use of 'Deep Blue' that Mercer gained deeper confidence and assurance in his ability to master consciousness transfer technology.
If learning knowledge can be copied and downloaded, then human consciousness must be transferable too.
The main difficulty lies in how to achieve the complete uploading of human consciousness data. Mercer is still in the learning process, but optimistically estimates that it will take one or two months to figure it out.
After that, he can try to find a few guinea pigs, like some 'benevolent' Cleaner Fish who enjoy kidnapping others.
Then use them to test the uploading and downloading of consciousness data, using their bodies to experiment with a complete set of processes for 'uploading', 'downloading', and 'resurrection'.
Once the Cleaner Fish experiment is successful, Mercer can boldly advance the plan to the next step.
In the field of prosthetics and equipment development, Mercer has also achieved groundbreaking success.
Firstly, in the development of prosthetics, Mercer targeted his own needs and the wild ideas he had seen in games and movies in his previous life to successfully develop his ideal first 'artificial mechanical arm' prosthetic.
This prosthetic is not directly used to replace the arm but is a special prosthetic developed by Mercer, inspired by 'Three-Hand' Victor from the LOL game and Doctor Octopus's mechanical tentacles from the Spider-Man movie.
The overall design adopts a bionic octopus tentacle design similar in appearance to Doctor Octopus, but at the end of the mechanical hand, Mercer referenced the multifunctional mechanical hand of Victor from the game.
It was designed and developed to serve as an auxiliary tool in everyday work and as an intelligent weapon capable of electromagnetic weapon firing in combat, a versatile prosthetic.
Considering the operating logic of the entire bionic octopus arm, if it is entirely controlled by the human brain, it would mean the brain has to control an 'alien' body completely unfamiliar to humans, which is extremely likely to cause 'phantom limb' syndrome and mental imbalance.
Mercer straightforwardly used a design similar to Doctor Octopus's method in the movie.
He installed a low-level AI personally designed by Venus in the Octopus Arm.
The sole purpose of this AI is to convert the human consciousness that controls the arm into control of the Octopus Arm through an internal algorithm, allowing it to precisely operate just as a human would command their own arm.
During the process, it does not give the human brain strange sensations like growing an octopus arm, but rather provides an operating feel similar to controlling a Demon Lizard using a Brain-Computer Interface, significantly reducing the sense of dissonance.
When not in use, the AI takes on all the mental burden of the prosthetic. Theoretically, this prosthetic could be viewed as an 'external mechanical armor', but Mercer used the same neural connection method as with prosthetics to reduce latency to nearly zero.
The force of the entire arm driven singly by bioelectricity can exert up to 1 ton.
This design ensures that he can drive it purely with bioelectricity like Rebecca's Gorilla Arm during normal times, without the need for frequent recharging, and the only cost is to eat and drink more for energy replenishment—this is another black technology of Cyber World.
Who knows how many powerful prosthetics in Cyber World can be directly powered by human bioelectricity?
Is that scientific?
Mercer finds it very unscientific, but that's how Cyber World is.
When high-intensity use is required, the single mechanical arm can exert up to 3 tons. During such times, mainly for exerting force and firing electromagnetic weapons, it can be powered by advanced micro-batteries built into the arm.
This micro-battery comes from the selfless contribution of Colonel Hansen—when Mercer expressed a desire to develop a high-strength electromagnetic weapon, he somehow got some super batteries from Military Science, and Mercer harvested two of them without any guilt.
This battery can be considered a black technology product of Cyber World's electromagnetic weapons; just one can allow Mercer's mechanical arm to operate at full power for over five hours, with almost no need to worry about power while shooting wantonly.
His Octopus Arm can load 10-20 sniper-style tungsten rounds and 200 Zhuo-style Shotgun smart bullets.
When the bullets run out, it can also fire short-range laser weapons powered solely by electricity, guaranteeing the terrifying power to burn through five-millimeter steel plates within 20 meters in 0.5 seconds.
Moreover, during daily work, the sensitive mechanical hand has spliced the external mechanical hand function of Zeta Technology to achieve precision capable of completing nano-prosthetic surgery and also has functionalities akin to a multifunctional tool hand conversion.
This arm has already passed the AI test by Mercer, and the next step is to install it on himself for an experiment.
Finally, regarding the development of equipment and weapons.
In terms of equipment, Mercer developed two sets of different styles of Single Soldier Armor for differing playstyles, typified by Rebecca and V.
Yes, he has developed Single Soldier Armor that can be subjected to combat testing—and, it is two sets!
