Chapter 3: Mechanical Mouse (Part One)

  Chapter 3: Mechanical Mouse (Part One)

  He came to, and Yang Yiwei directly chose "yes", then pressed the enter key. The countless lines of code on the screen began to quickly converge towards the middle, and then the screen went black. A brand new page appeared in front of Yang Yiwei, but this was absolutely not any system page that Yang Yiwei had ever seen before.

  This page is very simple, with only a few scattered options, but these options make Yang Yawei feel very strange. These options are neatly arranged on the left side, from top to bottom: System Program, Energy Reserve, and Modification Center.

  With only three options, Yang Yawei put his hand on the mouse that came with the notebook, moved the cursor a little, and placed it on the system program at the top. Then, more than a dozen drop-down menus popped up, and the first option made Yang Yawei look very strange.

  "Is the appearance of the instrument changed?" Behind this option, there is a browsing option. Originally, Yang Yawei did not understand what this sentence meant, but when he directly clicked on this browsing option, Yang Yawei suddenly understood. Inside this browsing option, there were hundreds of pictures, and these pictures ranged from common notebook shapes to science fiction-like ones, such as ultra-modern notebook pictures that are less than 0.5 cm thick.

  "Wow, can't you even change the shape of the laptop?" Yang Yiwei didn't think much and directly chose a large-screen ultra-thin Apple superbook he had always liked and clicked confirm.

  At the moment when Yang Yiwei nodded in confirmation, a dazzling silver-white light burst out from the old notebook in front of him. In just over ten seconds, the entire notebook transformed into an ultra-thin, super-attractive silver-white laptop he had seen at an Apple store, even the card slot that had fallen to the ground with the dead mouse inside turned into a ball of silver light and merged into the laptop.

  When the transformation was complete, a line of prompts appeared on the laptop screen: The instrument's appearance has changed, consuming 17 points of energy. Then the room fell into a dead silence.

  After a long time, a loud cry suddenly came from inside the room. Yang Yawei subconsciously put his fingers in his mouth and bit them hard. When the intense pain arrived, he confirmed that he was not daydreaming. Yang Yawei endured his violently racing heart, took several deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.

  "Could it be that heaven saw how miserable the past twenty years of my life were and sent this thing to change my fate? But what is this thing? Why does it say 'instrument' instead of 'computer'?" After calming down, countless questions popped into Yang Yawei's mind.

  He didn't know what this thing was, but it probably wasn't some extraterrestrial technology. It's likely to be the most advanced technology from various countries, and he had no idea how it ended up on the market.

  At this point, a sharp light flashed in Yang Yawei's eyes, and he suddenly pounced back in front of the computer, quickly browsing through those options, looking at all the options, and finally finding something similar to explanatory text, Yang Yawei only figured out what this thing was.

  This thing is not called a computer, but rather a biological modification device. According to the description here, it can modify biology into pure mechanical products. Yang Yawei suddenly remembered that mouse, he jumped up from his chair and crawled under the bed to pick up the mouse he had kicked under the bed with one foot.

  When he touched the mouse, Yang Yiwei dared to confirm that it was absolutely not just a dead mouse. If it were a dead mouse, it would have smelled long ago, but this mouse had no smell on its body, and when caught in his hand, he could feel that its body was soft and fluffy, as if there were no bones inside.

  Yang Yawei just found in the modification center's instructions that there was a semi-finished product, and he thought of this mouse. Yang Yawei tentatively put the mouse on the laptop's original touchpad according to the instructions, then selected the modification center, and then selected the scan target item.

  When Yang Yiwei pressed the Enter key, a red light suddenly shot out from the position of the ordinary notebook camera in the upper center of the screen and directly projected onto the location of the dead mouse. As the red light scanned the mouse from head to tail, a structural diagram of the mouse appeared on the screen. This structural diagram was so realistic that it was a complete three-dimensional stereogram, including its skeleton, blood vessels, internal organs, and other parts.

  "Are you sure to transform the current scanning target? Transformation requires 790 energy points, please confirm that there is enough energy." A new option appeared on the screen. Yang Yawei didn't even know where the energy was, and he couldn't wait to confirm what this thing was. Without thinking, he directly chose "yes" and pressed enter.

  The moment Yang Wei pressed the Enter key, the red light disappeared instantly, and a orange-yellow light shot out from that place and enveloped the mouse's body. The scanning speed of the orange-yellow light was very slow, starting from the mouse's tail and moving forward to its head.

  It took a full ten minutes for the orange-yellow light that was projected onto the mouse in a fan shape to shrink into a single point on its head and then disappear. The moment the light disappeared, the mouse's body, which had been lying softly on the keyboard, suddenly twitched twice, and then it jumped up like a mouse that had been suddenly awakened, let out a few "squeak" sounds, quickly circled around the computer twice, and then lay still on the left side of the computer.

  At the moment when the mouse jumped up, Yang Yiwei's body suddenly retreated a few steps in fright. Just now he was standing while watching all this, and didn't fall down. It's just that what happened before his eyes was too astonishing, and when he caught the dead mouse earlier, he knew it was really dead because there was no temperature on its body, which felt somewhat cold.

  And now it suddenly came to life! Although this mouse is lying there motionless, but it's no different from an ordinary mouse, its beady eyes darting back and forth, its two front paws occasionally sniffing at its mouth.

  But what's displayed on the screen is completely different, just now when scanning, the mouse on the screen was a 3D image, you could see blood vessels, muscles, heart and so on, but now that 3D image has completely changed, the overall shape hasn't changed, but the internal organs have become metal objects, in its heart position is a shallow blue light-emitting dot, this should be the energy source.

  While other parts have become metal-made, including the brain, and there are dense lines of text extending from this mechanical mouse.

  It took Yang Yawei a long time to regain his composure. He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously approached the mouse. Unlike what Yang Yawei had imagined, it didn't run away until he plucked up the courage to pick it up. Although its behavior was no different from that of an ordinary mouse, it just wasn't afraid of strangers.

  "Is this really mechanical?" Yang Yiwei hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and directly reached out to take the fruit knife from the drawer next to him. The mouse's appearance didn't change at all, but he had no idea if it was mechanical inside.
