Chapter 48 Biomodification (Part 2)


    Logically speaking, Gao Gong knows his plan best. After all, without him, his "brain in a vat" plan would have been successful.


    ??More than a hundred human lives were used as sacrifices. If the other party executed him on the spot, he would not have the slightest objection.


    “You don’t hate me?”


    “I hate you, why? It’s the people from your cable tribe who died, and the one who makes the brain toilet is a little woman. It has nothing to do with me.”


    Professor Han''s eyes were complicated: "Really? I thought a just person like you would avenge the dead."


    Justice? I?


    The question mark on Gao Gong’s forehead, aren’t these two antonyms?


    oh.


    Gao Gong figured it out.


    When the road is rough, take action with justice.


    Sent free food to the tribe many times.


    ?Finally, after hearing about the mad scientist’s ‘brain vat experiment’, he risked his life to save people without hesitation.


    Through this calculation, the senior engineer was moved by himself.


    What a good man!


    ??Had it not been for the mission rewards and the conquering plan, he would have almost believed it.


    Ahem, since the other person thinks so, then you shouldn’t destroy the beautiful fantasy in the other person’s heart.


    Gao Gong looked solemn, "Do you think you can sacrifice others for the sake of some seemingly beautiful visions?"


    "Me," Professor Han opened his mouth, and after a long while he said, "Great careers are forged by sacrifice. This is what someone said to me."


    “So you treat others as guinea pigs without their consent. You don’t seem to regard them as intelligent beings that are equal to you.”


    “You think you are superior to others, and it is natural for others to pave the way according to your ideas.”


    “But you have ignored whether the wave of the times requires a person like you to lead the way, and whether scientific research results can support your fantasies.”


    “Your accumulation in science has allowed you to gradually develop the seven deadly sins of arrogance, greed, and vanity in the wild radiation zone.”


    "In this backward tribe, you regard yourself as a god. God can''t be wrong, right?"


    Professor Han covered his head in pain.


    “How did I fall to this point? Science should not become the new theology.”


    “I am a sinner!”


    Gao Gong curled his lips quietly.


    Let alone you, as the technology tree climbs, all un-ascended civilizations will breed a large number of this type of ideas.


    The rapid development and expansion of civilization, the emergence and popularization of new technologies, the acceleration of interstellar immigration, the weakening of species identity, and the emergence of new life theories.


    At a certain period, the gap between people is no longer a species concept.


    Would you consider a dog to be one of your kind?


    ?In the development process of low-level civilization, some people really think this way. These people can be political leaders, technological heroes, genetic slave owners, and heads of giant companies.


    Genetic improvement, biological modification, hive technology, super life, dimensional transformation, all of the above, the genetic connection will be broken mercilessly.


    The last thing left is to free yourself from moral and ethical constraints.


    By then, it was not just a tear at the social level, but a tear at the civilization level.


    The only way to break this ‘curse’ is to ascend, and it is to ascend to the level of civilization.


    Reshape the life form of primitive races with super technology that covers civilization.


    Ahem, this is going too far.


    ?The reason why Gao Gong did not have a bad feeling towards the other party or even make moral condemnation.


    To be honest, he did a lot of this type of thing in his previous life.


    For example, in order to move the reproductive system into the virtual world, all the primary sexual characteristics of an intelligent race were accidentally removed.


    Although later, in order to make up for this small mistake, he sent hundreds of millions of virtual somatosensory machines to the other party, which had better and more lasting effects.


    ??But these people actually took themselves to a civilized court, claiming that they were civilization-extinct criminals.


    This is completely unreasonable.


    What ethnic heritage.


    Isn’t the paper man’s wife sweet?


    Or, transform asexually reproducing races into sexual reproduction, and transform sexually reproducing races into asexual reproduction.


    Ahem, technical adjustment is entirely a technical adjustment and is by no means a product failure.


    Compared with him, he didn’t look down on Professor Han’s little operation, well, he just didn’t like it.


    On the surface, Gao Gong said with a serious face: "If death can atone for sins, then what are the living people?"


    “Looking for light in darkness, looking for hope in despair, isn’t that what life is like?”


    “The knowledge you have can definitely play a greater role. Do you want to give up now?”


    Professor Han took a few deep breaths and said with firm eyes: "I understand. At least while I am still alive, I will do my best to help the tribe and you."


    “This is what people who have come from the civilized era should be like this!”


    Gao Gong nodded with satisfaction.


    “Then, please introduce these things to me.”


    During Professor Han’s explanation, Gao Gong gradually understood the functions of these organs.


    ?The blade limb is half a wing and half a blade nearly two meters long. There are biological nerve wires at the base of the wings, which can be connected to the prosthetic socket. But the problem is that humans without enhanced neural modifications cannot support this ‘high-amplitude flight mode’.


    So there are only two possibilities. The first is to remove its wings and turn it into a pure blade limb.


    After all, the sharpness of this creature’s blade is not inferior to that of the ‘red unicorn’.


    The second method is to do the opposite, remove the blade limbs and implant membrane wings. These wings can perform "short-distance high-altitude gliding" and "increase speed", which is equivalent to a human glider in biological mode.


    ??It''s just that the wings without blade limbs are relatively fragile and too big. If they are attached, they will become "bird-men".


    ?Biological Iron Armor is the shell of the Reaper Queen. I tried it and found that the armor is at least +100. No wonder it is so difficult to cut.


    ??If the biological armor is successfully implanted, just like human skin, it will have a special effect of ‘biological armor recovery’.


    At least you don’t have to worry about scrapping.


    ??If the biological modification is successful, it should also come with a "strengthening repair" skill, which can drain a large amount of physical strength during combat in exchange for faster armor repair.


    ??Electronic tentacles function as radars and can connect to other mechanical and biological beasts.


    The subcutaneous blood pump is a good thing, which is equivalent to a mobile blood bag.


    ?Let alone induction knees. An ordinary reaper weighs at least five hundred kilograms. Add in the gravity acceleration from falling from the sky. If it were replaced with ordinary knees, it would have exploded when it landed.


    ?Among these five biological organs, the first ones that Gao Gong gave up were the ''Blade Limb Transformation'' and ''Biological Iron Armor''.


    There is no other reason. Both have certain mechanical factors. If the ‘mechanical transformation rate’ of the motion system exceeds 10%, it will be over.


    He also plans to use carbon-based flow.


    There are three types left. Gao Gong was the first to give up the electronic tentacles for no other reason than that they were too ugly.


    ?Hand some slimy tentacles that might be useful in the future, and a beard on his forehead. He doesn’t want to be a cockroach.


    What''s more, the function of the electronic tentacles overlaps with that of the prosthetic eyes to some extent, which is completely unnecessary.


    The subcutaneous blood pump and sensor knee are really good. Not only are they effective, but what’s even better is that they are completely invisible after biological modification.


    Even bionic surgery is not required.


    Professor Han introduced three more transformable systems.


    The reason why modifying the system is more troublesome than transplanting organs is because modifying the system is not the same as replacing parts, just cut them off and replace them.


    ? It must transform the biological system into a system model that the human body can adapt to, then separate the original human tissue and install the former. The complexity is a hundred times that of organ transplantation.


    Furthermore, system modification is not as intuitive as organ modification.


    ?It has more possibilities and greater risks.


    Gao Gong didn''t even look at it. He first ruled out reproductive system modification. Why? Does this need a reason?


    “The biggest characteristic of the Reaper’s circulation system is that it is immortal, unless it is killed on the spot by a strong hand, leaving no life at all.” At this point, Professor Han gave Gao Gong a strange look.


    Gao Gong looked calm.


    “Theoretically, even if the head is chopped off, there is a certain probability that it will grow back.”


    “In other words, the body is detoxified.”


    “Yes, its circulatory system can cut off damaged organ channels at any time and form a new circulation.”


    Gao Gong touched his neck and said, "In other words, if my transformation is successful, my head will grow back even if it falls off?"


    “Well, that’s impossible. After all, you were just biologically modified, not a real reaper.”


    “However, if your fallen head is repaired by a field doctor in a short period of time, it should be able to be saved.”


    “Oh, there’s more.”


    “There is also ‘regeneration of severed limbs’. Of course, this kind of amputated limbs are only severed fingers at most. If the hands and legs are chopped off, the effect is the same as the head.”


    “In other words, micro-organ regeneration.”


    “It’s like this.”


    “Is there anything else?”


    “Reapers also have a self-mutilation phenomenon. This phenomenon often occurs in the ‘arthropod phylum’. To put it simply, it is cannibalism, which will put the perpetrator into an ‘excited state’.”


    “Does this mean that when I hunt mechanical biochemical beasts in the future, I will receive status blessings?”


    “Theoretically, this is the case, but I can’t be sure whether this ‘excitement’ is just for the reapers, or whether it is the mechanical biochemical beasts of all insects, the order Mantis, and the order Mantis.”


    “To summarize, organ removal, micro-amputated limb regeneration, and similar hunting and blessing.”


    “It’s like this.”


    Gao Gong nodded, "Tell me the next one."


    As if returning to his past research years, Professor Han suddenly became excited and his tone became a few higher pitches.


    “The Reaper’s digestive system is the same as other mechanical and biological beasts, and it can restore a certain amount of physical strength by swallowing metal.”


    “Well, metal digestion.”


    “It is very similar to the previous hunting of the same kind. It digests the corpses of the same kind and can also produce a ‘stimulating effect’.”


    "Blessed by similar hunting," the senior engineer smacked his lips: "I have always had a good appetite."


    “And its biggest characteristic is that the digestive organs are transformed into the body.”


    “Somatization, what does this mean?”


    Professor Han brought Gao Gong to a nutrient tank, where a blade limb and a claw were placed.
