Time passed quickly. Su Hao and Ashan spent it continuously stacking External Brains and converting themselves.
The Neural Tissue was enormous and cumbersome, cramming the space inside their skulls, so they created a Small World within their heads and placed it inside. From the outside, they looked little different from normal humans.
