Start with a Mechanical Hunter Chapter 48

  Chapter 48 Biological Transformation (middle)

   It stands to reason that the senior engineer knows his plan best. After all, if there is no such person, his 'brain in a vat' plan has been successful.

  More than 100 lives were sacrificed. If the other party executed him on the spot, he would have no objection.

   "You don't hate me?"

   "I hate you, why? It's the people of your cable tribe who died, and the little women who made the brain toilet. It has nothing to do with me at all."

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

   Justice? I?

   The question mark on the forehead of a senior engineer, aren't these two antonyms?

Oh.

  Senior engineer wants to understand.

   Seeing injustice on the road, take action with justice.

   Sent food to the tribe for free many times.

   Finally, after hearing about the 'brain tank experiment' of the mad scientist, he did not turn back and risked his life to save people.

   After all, the senior engineers were moved by themselves.

   Good man!

   If it weren't for the mission reward and capture plan, he almost believed it.

  Cough, since the other party thinks so, then you shouldn't destroy the beautiful fantasy in the other party's heart.

  The senior engineer looked solemn, "Do you think it's okay to sacrifice others for some visions that just look good?"

   "I," Professor Han opened his mouth and said after a long while, "A great cause is forged by sacrifice. This is what someone told me."

   "So without the consent of others, you treat them as guinea pigs, and you don't seem to regard them as intelligent beings as equal as you."

   "You consider yourself superior, and take it for granted that others will pave the way according to your vision."

   "But you ignore whether the tide of the times needs a person like you to lead the way, and whether the scientific research results can support your fantasy."

   "Your scientific accumulation has enabled you to gradually nurture the arrogance, greed, and vanity of the seven deadly sins 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 the point where science shouldn't be the new theology."

   "I am a sinner!"

  The senior engineer quietly pouted.

   Don't say it's you, as the technology tree climbs, all civilizations that have not ascended will breed a large number of such ideas.

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

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

   Would you consider a dog your own kind?

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

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

   All that remains is to free yourself from moral and ethical constraints.

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

  To break this 'curse', there is only ascension, and ascension at the level of civilization.

  Reshape the life forms of primitive races with super technology covering civilization.

  Cough, that's too far.

   The reason why the senior workers did not feel bad about the other party, and even made a moral condemnation.

   To be honest, he did a lot of things like this in his previous life.

   For example, in order to move the reproductive system to the virtual world, the primary sexual characteristics of an intelligent race were lost inadvertently.

   Although later, in order to make up for this small mistake, he sent hundreds of millions of virtual somatosensory machines to the other party, and the effect was better and more durable.

   But these people actually took themselves to the civilized court, claiming that they are criminals at the level of civilization extinction.

   is totally unreasonable.

   What racial heritage.

   Isn't the paper man wife fragrant?

   Or, transforming asexually reproducing races into sexual reproductions, and transforming sexually reproducing races into asexual reproductions.

  Cough, technical adjustment, completely technical adjustment, not a product failure.

  Compared with him, it's not that he doesn't like Professor Han's small operation, well, he just doesn't like it.

   On the surface, the senior worker said with a serious face: "If death can atone for sin, what is the living person!"

   "Looking for the light in the dark, looking for hope in the despair, isn't that what life is like?"

   "The knowledge you have acquired can play a greater role. Do you want to give up?"

  Professor Han took a few deep breaths and said firmly with his eyes: "I understand, at least while I'm still alive, I will do my best to help the tribe and you."

   "People who have come from the age of civilization should be like this!"

  The senior engineer nodded in satisfaction.

   "Then, please tell me about these things."

  In Professor Han's explanation, senior engineers gradually understood the function of these organs.

The   knife limbs are nearly two meters long with half wings and half blades. The wings have biological nerve wires that can be connected to the prosthetic socket.

   But the problem is that humans without intensive neuroengineering 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.

   After all, with the sharpness of the blade of this creature, it is not inferior to the 'red unicorn' at all.

   The second, the opposite, removes the blade limbs and implants membrane wings. This type of wings can perform 'short-distance high-altitude gliding' and 'enhanced speed', which is equivalent to a human glider in biological mode.

   It's just that the wings without the blade are relatively fragile, and the body is too large, and it will become a 'birdman' when installed.

  The biological iron armor is the shell of the reaper queen. The senior engineer tried it, and the armor is at least +100. No wonder it is so difficult to cut.

   And if the biological iron 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 transformation is very successful, it should also come with a 'enhanced repair' skill. During the battle, by drawing a large amount of stamina value, it is exchanged for a faster speed to repair the armor.

  The electronic tentacles have the function of radar and can be connected to other mechanical biochemical beasts.

   A subcutaneous blood pump is a good thing, equivalent to moving blood bags.

   Not to mention the induction knee, an ordinary reaper weighs at least 500 pounds or more, plus the acceleration of gravity falling from the sky, if it is replaced by an ordinary knee, it will explode when it hits the ground.

   Among the five biological organs, the first ones that Gaogong gave up were 'knife limb modification' 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 finished.

   He also plans to follow the carbon-based flow.

   There are three remaining types. The senior engineers gave up the electronic tentacles first. There is no other reason. This thing is really ugly.

   Putting up a sticky tentacle might still be useful in the future. Put a whisker on the forehead, he doesn't want to be a cockroach.

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

  The subcutaneous blood pump and the induction knee are really good, not only the effect is good, but even better, it is completely invisible after biological modification.

   You don't even have to do bionic surgery.

  Professor Han also introduced three transformable systems.

   The reason why the transformation system is more troublesome than transplanting organs is because the transformation system is not the same as replacing parts. It is finished by cutting it off and replacing it.

  It must transform the biological system into a system model that the human body can adapt to, and then separate the original human tissue and install the former, which is a hundred times more complicated than organ transplantation.

   And system modification is not as intuitive as organ modification.

   It's more likely and riskier.

  The senior engineers didn't even look at it. First of all, the transformation of the reproductive system was ruled out. The reason? Does this even need a reason?

   "The biggest characteristic of the Reaper's circulatory system is that it doesn't die, unless it is beheaded by a strong hand on the spot, and there will be no life left." Having said that, Professor Han gave the senior engineer a strange look.

  The senior engineer looked calm.

   "Theoretically speaking, even if the head is cut off, there is a certain probability that it will grow back."

   "That is to say, the body is decapitated."

   "Yes, its circulatory system can cut off damaged organ pipes at any time and form a new cycle."

  The senior engineer touched his neck, "That is to say, if I succeed in the transformation, can my head grow back even if it falls off?"

   "Uh, that's impossible, after all, you're just a creature modified, not a real reaper."

   "But your fallen head should be able to be saved in a short period of time if there is a repair operation performed by a field doctor."

   "Oh, there's more."

   "There is also the 'regeneration of severed limbs'. Of course, this kind of amputation is only a severed finger at most. If the hands and legs are cut off, the effect is the same as the head."

   "That is, micro-organ regeneration."

"Is such that."

   "Anything else?"

   "The reaper also has a phenomenon of self-mutilation, which mostly occurs in the 'Arthropoda'. In simple terms, it is cannibalism, which will make the perpetrator fall into an 'excited state'."

   "Meaning, if I hunt mechanical biochemical beasts in the future, there will be status blessings?"

   "This is the case in theory, but I can't be sure, this 'excitement' is only for the reapers, or all the mechanical biochemical beasts of the order Mantis."

   "To sum up, organ de-vitrification, miniature amputated limb regeneration, and the same kind of hunting and blessing."

"Is such that."

The    senior engineer nodded, "Introduce me to the next one."

   It seems that he has returned to the past research years. Professor Han is rarely excited, and his tone has become a few higher pitches.

   "The reaper's digestive system, like other mechanical biochemical beasts, 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 the same kind of hunting," the senior worker smacked his lips: "I have always had a good appetite."

   "And its greatest feature is the surfaceization of digestive organs."

   "Body surfaceization, what does this mean?"

  Professor Han took the senior engineer to a nutrition tank, where a knife limb and a claw were placed.
