Inside the glass cubicle, a pile of parts was scattered on the table.
Song Pinxuan had dismantled the mechanical arm Tang Li had broken and, together with He Xiao, had carefully examined it.
At this moment, both their faces held expressions of disbelief.
Song Pinxuan looked at He Xiao and asked, "He Xiao, what do you think?"
"I feel... it's like the simulated nerve components were overloaded for too long and burned out!"
He Xiao said with some uncertainty.
"I feel that's also the reason."
The two exchanged glances, both their gazes falling on Tang Li.
Tang Li had been waiting there for nearly two hours.
She watched them. First, they removed the shell of the mechanical arm and studied it for over ten minutes. Then, they separated the various parts of the mechanical arm and studied them for another ten minutes. Finally, they removed the components one by one... By now, another ten minutes had passed.
Seeing their eyes on her, Tang Li asked, somewhat bewildered, "What's wrong?"
Song Pinxuan asked, "Miss Tang, can you cooperate with us for a test?"
"Of course, I came here precisely to cooperate with you and find the cause of the damage to the mecha exoskeleton," Tang Li replied.
After receiving Tang Li's consent, Song Pinxuan had He Xiao bring a new standard model mecha exoskeleton according to the dimensions of the reclining chair and had Tang Li put it on.
He then connected a wire from the helmet of this mecha exoskeleton to a computer.
Tang Li was asked to continue performing the combat techniques as she had when she broke the mechanical arm, and Tang Li complied.
However, before Tang Li could even execute a few moves, He Xiao slammed the table.
"Confirmed! This is the reason!"
Tang Li also stopped and asked curiously, "What reason?"
He Xiao blurted out, "Your psychic power is too strong!"
Tang Li was even more confused, "Psychic power? Too strong? What do you mean?"
Song Pinxuan explained to Tang Li:
"Psychic power is the strength of brainwave bio-signals sent by the human brain, and it is also the human strength utilized by brain-computer interfaces."
"Everyone's psychic power strength varies, so their adaptability to brain-computer interfaces and mecha exoskeletons also differs."
Through Song Pinxuan's explanation, Tang Li finally understood.
The mechanical prosthetics before the apocalypse operated by receiving bio-signals sent from the brain to the muscles.
Song Pinxuan's developed non-invasive brain-computer interface also received bio-signals from brainwaves emitted by the brain, allowing people to control machines through their consciousness.
However, the brainwave bio-signals emitted by a normal person's brain are very weak.
The brain-computer interface helmet on the mecha exoskeleton amplifies these signals after receiving them from the user's brain and then transmits them to other components through the basic framework.
Simultaneously, the basic framework also receives bio-signals sent from the brain to the limbs and amplifies them. While enhancing the bio-signals received by the mecha exoskeleton, it also verifies the bio-signals coming from the helmet.
To flexibly control the mecha exoskeleton, one must be highly focused and concentrate, consuming significant psychic power.
The reason why ordinary people cannot flexibly control the mecha exoskeleton at first, and feel fatigued after controlling it for a period, is due to insufficient psychic power.
Even after being amplified by the mecha exoskeleton's brain-computer interface helmet, the basic brainwave signals are still too weak to be significantly enhanced.
The higher the price of the brain-computer interface helmet, the stronger its ability to amplify brainwave signals, thus making it easier for users.
But Tang Li was different.
Her brainwave signals were already very strong.
Not only were the brainwave bio-signals emitted from her brain powerful, but even the bio-signals sent from her brain to her limbs were even more potent.
With the two combined, along with the amplification from the mecha exoskeleton's basic framework and the brain-computer interface helmet, the bio-signals received by Tang Li's mecha exoskeleton became excessively large.
This caused the simulated nerve components to overload and, over time, burn out.
"There are two solutions: either reduce the brain-computer interface's amplification of brainwave signals, or increase the carrying capacity of the simulated nerve components!"
Finally, Song Pinxuan offered his solutions.
However, the latter was not cost-effective. The current simulated nerve components were already sufficient for the existing mecha exoskeleton. To increase their carrying capacity would require a complete redesign of the entire system.
As for the former, it was a case of fixing the symptom rather than the cause.
"Besides these two methods, there is actually another way..."
