Mechanical transformation laboratory.

Compared with the initial team of less than ten people, the laboratory has been expanded several times, and now the team has an unprecedented number of 1,208 people.

At this time, Mo Yu was lying on the operating table.

Quietly waiting for the mechanized transformation of the brain to begin.

Over the years, the Supreme Council of Star City has given the greatest support to the mechanization transformation project.

There was Feng Qi's help and his own efforts.

In the past few years, the project has also been opposed by some members of the Star City Supreme Council.

At that time, he was invited to the Supreme Council and was asked this question at the meeting:

"It is enough to achieve the mechanization of limbs, so why does the mechanization project continue to advance? If the brain information is uploaded to the chip, and the chip replaces the brain in the future, are you a human being at this time, or a mechanical life?"

Facing the sharp questioning, Mo Yu remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he gave his answer.

This answer convinced the opponents of the Supreme Council who were present at the time.

This is what he said:

"I think the key factors that define a person are consciousness and memory, not the body. In essence, mechanical transformation is the same as cultivation. Cultivation allows our lives to transform in a gentle way and evolve in a more perfect direction. When thousands of people

People from the future will appear in front of us ten thousand years from now. Even though they look similar to us, their bodies are completely different inside. Can you deny that cultivators ten thousand years from now are not human beings?"

"The method of mechanized transformation is more radical than that of cultivation and evolution. Because of this, mechanized transformation is not as in line with the ideal evolution method of mankind as the cultivation system. However, the flesh and blood body abandoned by transformation abandons the superficial definition of human beings, but

In terms of self-awareness, I am always a human being.”

"I don't mean to deny the existence of cultivation studies. In fact, I have always firmly believed that cultivation societies are the mainstream of the human growth system. But I understand one thing better. When the ideal path is not enough to allow us to

When developing rapidly and keeping up with the crisis-ridden future battlefield, mechanized transformation will open up a new path of hope in despair."

After this meeting, the resistance to the development of mechanized transformation disappeared.

Mo Yu was approved by the Supreme Council of Star City and received more resource support.

But just for this reason, Mo Yu was not satisfied.

In order to get Star City's Supreme Council to agree that the Mechanized Transformation Department could obtain higher priority resources in Star City, he compiled the advantages of mechanized transformation in detail and submitted it to Star City's Supreme Council for review.

In this planning document, Mo Yu divided the mechanization transformation process into three stages, and the function of each part was described in detail.

The first stage is what Mo Yu calls prosthetic modification.

In the frontline supply areas of the five major cities, a large number of soldiers are disabled and discharged from the army every year.

Putting aside the moral aspect, if we only look at these retired veterans who are supported by the city from a macro perspective such as the development of the human race, they have actually become a burden to the development of the city and even the human race.

But with prosthetic limbs, these veterans who can only live in the city will regain their value and continue to work hard for the future of the human race.

The second stage is the mechanization of the body.

This step requires mechanizing the entire body except the brain.

In the instruction manual, Mo Yu compared the differences between flesh and blood bodies and mechanical bodies in detail.

The first is tolerance to the environment.

In Mo Yu's opinion, human flesh and blood is very fragile, and its adaptability to harsh environments is also extremely poor.

Poisonous gas, high temperature, extreme cold, vacuum... there are many environments in which flesh and blood cannot adapt to survive. When encountering extremely harsh environments, the combat effectiveness of flesh and blood will be greatly weakened.

The mechanized body may not be able to fully adapt to harsh environments, but it has huge advantages over the physical body.

The third stage is what Mo Yu calls brain mechanization.

At this point, the flesh and blood body will be completely abandoned, and the body will completely turn into a mechanical body.

Compared with the flesh and blood body, the strongest advantages of the mechanical body will be revealed.

If the evolution of life requires the ingestion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the physical body through practice, then mechanized transformation is the upgrade of the strength, function, and other aspects of body parts.

The limitations of the evolution of a flesh-and-blood body come from three aspects: cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, and one's own talent.

Among them, one's own talent is the most important of the three evolutionary requirements.

The growth limitations of mechanized transformation are only two aspects, namely resource and technology upgrading.

The resources can correspond to the cultivation resources needed by the physical body, and the technical upgrade can correspond to the upgrade of the cultivation techniques.

The biggest advantage of mechanized transformation is that there is no talent requirement.

With sufficient resources, every time technology is upgraded, the mechanized body can upgrade itself by replacing body parts.

This kind of upgrade will not go backwards, but will only move forward steadily.

This is very similar to the improvement of human blood potential.

Humanity needs to work hard from generation to generation to increase the blood potential of future generations.

The technology of mechanized transformation has been upgraded, and the starting point of the next generation is the culmination of existing technology.

One of the great advantages of mechanized transformation is that it does not require a cumbersome training process. Even a newborn baby can instantly obtain the most advanced mechanized body through mechanized transformation.

In this detailed explanation of mechanized transformation, Mo Yu lists the advantages of mechanization compared to flesh and blood.

But at the end of the manual, Mo Yu also expressed his views on the training system.

Mo Yu believes that flesh and blood has an advantage that a mechanized body can never match.

That's plasticity.

Choosing the mechanized transformation route is equivalent to locking one's future route and preventing new choices.

But flesh and blood is different, you can have too many future choices.

The human body grows spirits, elemental transformation, mechanized transformation, practice skills, faith growth... The flesh and blood body is compared to the initial template. Every choice is like a job change. The flesh and blood body can independently determine its own future growth.

direction.

Finally, Mo Yu also gave his own guess about flesh and blood.

He felt that perhaps the flesh and blood body could be regarded as an organic machine. The human body was the most sophisticated instrument, far more complex than the machine.

The cultivation method conforms to the laws of natural operation, and the end point may be a special existence that only exists in myths.

God!

This thirty-eight-page detailed explanation of the mechanization transformation allowed Mo Yu to obtain a higher priority for resources, and the monthly allocated resources were doubled.

…

At this time, a group of staff from the mechanization transformation department were looking at Mo Yu lying on the operating table through the glass.

The mechanized transformation of the brain is about to begin, and their faces cannot hide their nervousness.

The results of years of hard work will be judged in the coming hours.

When the three transformation operators in front of the console controlled the robotic arm and began debugging data, Mo Yu, who was lying flat on the operating table, opened his eyes.

Turning to look at his colleague who was observing him through the transparent glass, a smile appeared on his face.

Failure means death, but he has no fear in his heart.

He knew very well how difficult this mechanized transformation was.

The mechanized transformation seniors of the Future Research Institute have had many forward-looking ideas about brain mechanized transformation, but their ideas all point to the storage of brain information in mechanical chips.

This kind of transformation essentially means that one's own consciousness has died.

Even if the transformation is successful, only a robot with a perfect replica of his memory will be born.

Through these years of hard work, he has improved the forward-looking ideas proposed by his predecessors.

He is taking the route of mechanized transformation of psychic energy, which means that he is destined to combine psychic technology with machinery and cannot follow the route of purely mechanized transformation. The existence of consciousness is crucial.

Therefore, the mechanized transformation of the brain he envisioned abandoned many previous ideas and designs.

He wants to build his consciousness into a psychic chip, rather than copying self-information uploaded from brain information.

At this time, the green lights on the eight robotic arms light up, and the debugging is completed.

"let's start!"

Mo Yu, who was lying on the operating table, did not hesitate and immediately turned to look in the direction of the control table and nodded.

Upon hearing his "start" command, the operator immediately controlled the eight robotic arms to start operating.

When the cold metal helmet was put on Mo Yu's head, his consciousness entered a strange state of disorientation.

Consciousness seems to be wrapped in liquid, unable to disperse, let alone separate from the body.

During this process, Mo Yu's consciousness was compressed and eventually turned into translucent beads.

The parts inside the helmet operated automatically, quickly disassembling Mo Yu's head.

Skin, eyes, teeth, nose, ears... When the superficial flesh and blood tissue is separated, metal parts begin to replace the flesh and blood organs.

When the replacement of the surface layer is completed, the outer robotic arm removes the metal helmet.
To be continued...
