Near future SF is a troublesome genre. Because no matter how much you fantasize about what's in the future, the advances in real life science will overtake that imagination lightly.
Not in the near future, but in SF, which depicts the far future, that can be said to be the same. n Looking back at the SF work ten years ago, I said, "Oh, there can't be such a future world. I don't have XX. It is often thought that it should be ○ ○" etc.
Although this work sets the stage for Japan in the second half of the twenty-first century, with only partially noticeable progress because the environmental protection movement flourishes and scientific and technological progress is seen as evil, and because human development is also a setting of stagnation, let us say that this setting itself is a slight resistance and a breakwater and an excuse and an escape route and much more to real progress that overtakes SF's future predictions.
- BC weapons
Only BC weapons for mob suppression, known as unique weapons, are permitted to be used and manufactured.
Typically, an air infection results in severe itching along with red eczema in the body, driving it almost incapacitated, but with no sequelae or side effects, "Red Tormenters".
- Clones
Human cloning is already possible, but is prohibited in many countries (a law was created in Japan to regulate it in 2000 A.D.).
In the unlikely event that it is made, the law provides for clones to be treated as normal human beings.
It appears that Japanese backstreets have been secretly created for organ trafficking and human trafficking in the backyard societies of various countries around the world.
-Memory transplant of clones
It is assumed that the current scientific power cannot be used, but there are a number of possible people.
In certain state agencies and organizations, the technology that it is possible to do so is kept secret. Junko Yukioka, the main character in this edition, is also possible.
- Partial cloning
Application of cloning techniques to compensate for missing parts of the body. As with memory transplantation, it is considered impossible by current scientific power, but possible for some, including Junko Yukioka.
Take out only the necessary areas in the condition of the fetus and store in culture. Naturally the fetus dies, but it has only physically completed life activities, not technically death. At least Junko does those procedures before the soul dwells.
-Mobile phones
Fingertip size. About the size of a circle ball. It is fundamental to switch it on and call the screen of the holography into the air and operate it from that screen.
Walking with the screen in front of your face is supposedly a moral problem. But if you don't get the display out, you can't do fine operations.
Some people use card-sized phones, but fingertip size is more overwhelming because of its drawback that it is easy to lose.
Outlet
Chemicals that stimulate the brain and sharpen the senses to increase concentration and reflex nerves. Even the sixth sense is sharpened, and while some people have the effect of medicine, others become visible to the soul or gain the predictive ability of weakness.
Mainly capsule type. It dissolves instantly when it enters the stomach, and the ingredients in it are absorbed more than the stomach and upper small intestine (similar to alcohol).
There are no side effects if only one tablet, but taking two tablets can cause extremely harmful effects on the human body, causing brain damage and a high probability of becoming obsolete. Taking more than two tablets also increases the effect and gives several times the effect of one tablet.
Drugs taken by residents of the back streets and soldiers on the battlefield before the shootout. You will be able to see the movement of the gun in the other hand, the timing of the shooting, and even the ballistics from the direction of the muzzle.
- Various disability aids
In a tide as if scientific and technological developments were bad, an area which is exceptionally recognised, but which cannot be diverted or applied because only this area is recognised but not others, cost performance is poor and not all persons with disabilities are made available.
Visually impaired people have electronic prostheses by EEG receiving input devices, but the life of the machine is short even though it is expensive.
Advances in cyborg engineering have also made it possible to subsidize partial defects, which are also expensive. Those unable to move due to spinal cord injury can move the body by means of an EEG input wearing a simple exoskeleton frame.
Professor Fumizaki Ken, an authority in cyborg engineering, argues that the greatest challenge will be how much to lower costs so that they can be purchased by ordinary people and the poor, and that if we unseal the scientific and technological stagnation of humanity as a whole, the possibilities will increase greatly.
· Artificial uterus
In Japan, an artificial uterus capable of raising an aborted foetus up to childbirth is always placed in obstetrics and gynaecology as part of measures to combat childlessness. During an abortion of the foetus, it can be immediately sent to the artificial uterus and protected as is.
It is also used for fetal protection in the event of an accident of the mother. Abortion can be resuscitated by the passage of time and circumstances.
It can also function as an artificial surrogate mother because it can be grown from the condition of the fertilized egg to childbirth.
At the moment in the first half of the twenty-first century, research on artificial uterus is already underway even in reality, and it is said that it will be achieved not so far away.
- Dream Band
A device that flies consciousness into the virtual world. The shape is headgear. I wear it on my head and use it.
By receiving the EEG, it is possible to trip to the programmed virtual world by manipulating it, exposing the EMG to the brain and showing hallucinations.
Used primarily for gaming purposes, but also for applications such as legal drugs, virtual sex and treatment of mentally ill patients.
There are also illegal drugs that enhance electromagnetic waves above the level, as well as torture applications.
Even in legal applications, data have been produced that prolonged continuous use has a negative effect on the brain.
· Direct audiovisualization of the brain by EEG receiving inputs and electromagnetic waves
Dream bands and disability aids are permitted on an exceptional basis but are generally prohibited. EEG input alone is eager to be used for mobile phones, etc., but due to strong backlash by environmentalists, permission has not been granted in most countries.
- Virtuafone
Next generation models of fingertip phones. Incorporated in watches, accessories, earphones, etc.
Operation by previously forbidden EEG will be possible, after switching on, if the majority of the operation is considered with the head. Some parts still have to be manipulated with your fingers, but to the extent that it takes an occasional operation to play the screen.
Price is pretty high, thin., prevalent in the back streets before the front streets.
• Battle Creature
While the development of unmanned, robotic weapons took place in order not to let their own soldiers die, the cost problem really came with it. As an easy way to break it, a biological weapon emerged that could be mass-produced at low cost and was instantly put into battlefields around the world.
The massive input of battle creatures planted with a strong killing instinct on humans is, in a sense, more effective than air strikes. If we let them go where there are people, they wander around to kill soldiers and citizens on their own. The enemy army will also be assigned soldiers to deal with it. It is usually lower cost than weapons or air strikes and is expected to have many effects.
The first appearance was the U.S.-China War, made by the American side and widely scattered across China. The big cities, of course, were ravaged by Battle Creature, all the way to the countryside.
But the Chinese side also steals the technology and unleashes tons of battle reachers on the US itself. As a result, even now, more than thirty years after the war, the two countries still had wild battle creatures living away from people and occasionally became a threat to show up in front of people.
Although the manufacture of human mixed battle creatures is prohibited by international law, there are numerous countries and arms-smuggling organizations that mix and use them without permission.
- bulletproof fibres
Defensive performance is what makes it superior, but unlike body armor with bulletproof plates that slows down movement, fibres weigh and heat exactly the same as normal clothing. It is possible to knit into normal clothes.
This one is more mainstream than bulletproof plates that blunt the movement in order to be assumed to avoid in shootouts in the back streets.
It is not as heat-resistant as aramid fiber and, because it is combined with normal fiber, it is not very reliable for its fire resistance performance. Exceeds defense performance, however.
As bulletproof fiber progresses, so does the power of firearms, making it an exquisite seasaw game. Thus, in the back street, if you receive a bullet with bulletproof fiber, it is a legend that "50% can or cannot be prevented".
- Explosion-proof sheet
A sheet developed by the U.S. military to cushion the impact of the bombing. Eat the bombing over and over and it will be damaged. Mostly used in war, but only held by the US military at the moment.
Due to weight issues, it is only partially used when tensioning on tanks and combat helicopters.
· Holographic display
Computer and cell phone displays are mostly holographic displays that project into the air.
Probably, the screen can be called multiple times. I can't see it from the back. Flip, can also travel some distance.
On the train, many passengers put out a display in front of their faces. Putting out multiple displays on the train can also overlap with other people's displays, thus the trend is a violation of manners.
- Flesh solution
Chemicals made to combat Battle Creature. Popular presence to put on the battlefield. Plant and use on warheads.
It grows while taking up proteins in reaction to proteins and encourages dissolution. Vital Battle Creatures can also, depending on where they hit, be incapacitated or driven to death by a single bullet from a warhead filled with meat solution.
- Ultrasonic vibrating steel wire
A weapon used by True or Charles. Yukioka brand weapons.
It is mostly planted under the sleeve.
Ultrasonic vibrations are generated for just a few seconds at any given time, not so long. Care should be taken to handle it, as it can hang up even if you haven't made it tremble. The tip has a small hammer. The steel wire portion of the tip is made so that it cannot be cut.
Since only somewhat anywhere in the stretched steel wire section can the switch be pressed with an EEG to produce a tremor (illegal except for the dream band and disability aids), no tremor will occur in the steel wire section wrapped around hand or in the area touched by hand.
