Start with a Mechanical Hunter

   Chapter 42 Bionic Return to Origin

  [mission completed, experience +4500, cable tribe opinion +500]

  [Brain in the Vat +400 opinion]

   When the little woman Huang Yuanli fainted, substantial mental fluctuations suddenly emanated from the tentacles of the 'brain in a vat'.

  The blue light goes round and round, as deep as the sea.

  Senior worker squinted his eyes and rested his palm lightly on the handle of the knife. The strong mental fluctuation made him feel the excitement at the same time.

   There are two types of brains in the tank, one is wild and the other is domestic.

  The wild ones are more ferocious, and most of them have developed a hobby of eating human brain flowers. They have completed the ethical construction by absorbing human emotions and memories. They are extremely treacherous and belong to the one behind the scenes.

   On the contrary, this kind of artificial cultivation is relatively simple and relatively natural and harmless.

   But no matter what, this thing is also a level 30 or higher boss, with invincible mental attacks, you can take advantage of people, don't really take people as fools.

   In fact, when his perception reached 21, he immediately felt that a dozen invisible tentacles were slowly stroking him, especially his head.

   The other party did not agree to the deal because of the 'talkie', but only after confirming that the senior engineer did not lie before accepting his arrangement.

   In a sense, this guy is half a prophet.

   "Human, thank you, you are different from everyone else."

   "Of course, I don't do slicing research. I only like to study the special hobbies of different races... Cough, what are your plans next?"

   The brain in the tank stretched its tentacles happily, and the liquid in the nutrition tank quickly bottomed out.

   "Researcher Han gave me a lot of things I didn't like. I'm going to get rid of them, and then - find a suitable body."

   "Researcher Han? You mean Professor Han, you don't hate him?"

   "Forty years ago, with the help of Researcher Han, I got my first life. Forty years later, it was also with his help that I woke up from chaos."

   "According to the principle of equivalence of your human beings, I have a clear relationship with him."

   "But if one day, there is a new content in my thinking, or, in other words, it becomes more 'human', I will come back and perform reciprocal behavior, oh, according to your human words - revenge."

  The senior worker shrugged and had no opinion.

   "In the laboratory, Researcher Han hid some research materials from that year. These materials may be useful to you. I can feel that some dangerous flames are burning on you."

   "Sorry, I used the word 'dangerous', but I couldn't find a more appropriate phrase in the human lexicon."

   Carbon-based flow + mechanical flow, let alone this planet, is synonymous with danger in the entire universe.

"Then, goodbye, my human friend, I have already taken a fancy to a very good body, I hope there will be a chance to meet again in the future, and I hope that by that time, you have already got what you want. "

  The blue light became brighter and brighter, and with a storm-like mental shock, the 'brain in a vat' disappeared into the nutrient tank.

   Another corner of the city, high risk area, metal area.

   In the center of this high-risk area, there are mechanical corpses everywhere, and in the center of the corpses is the wreckage of a giant mechanical castle, covered in smoke.

   And at the position of the chest of ‘it’, there is a hole the size of a water tank, where its radiating organs are originally located.

  A-level radiation beast leader, mechanical fortress.

   In front of its dull eyes, the bright red flesh blanket is slowly exiting this former lair of mechanical biochemical beasts.

   And the 'Duke of Fission' who killed it had a blood-red cloak on his back.

   Similarly, in the 'red lanterns' that fill the sky, clusters of nuclear energy are lit in the lanterns.

  There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless one male and one female.

   The Scarlet Queen and the Fission Duke seem to have 'fused' to some extent.

   In the near future, there may be an S-rank Beastmaster in the scavenger city.

   Or the beast generals controlled by the two knights.

   However, a small accident was born.

   In the 'chest' of the mechanical fortress, a group of light blue octopuses suddenly appeared, and countless nerve lines were pierced, injecting energy, and making the circuits of the major mechanical modules light up again.

   The next moment, the eyes of the mechanical fortress flicked.

  …

Naturally    Senior Engineer did not know that he had changed the direction of history to some extent. At this moment, in the laboratory of the pre-civilization era, he was looking through the materials left by Professor Han.

   "The Principles and Experiments of Arthropod Bionics"

  《Human Bionics and Amphibian Simulation》

  《Is there a possibility of the existence of marine people》

   "Lab Journal"

  The senior engineer moved in his heart and opened the log.

   Third Lunar Calendar, 231, June 4

  ‘According to the rules of drawing lots, my colleagues and I were sent to this Mesozoic site to collect and restore ancient fossil cells. ’

  'I think this is a complete academic waste. The idea of ​​a giant colony has long been rejected. By combining dinosaur cells with colonization technology, a 'humanoid battleship' can be created. What idiot thought of this? ’

  'When can those idiots in the Imperial Research Department stop being so whimsical. ’

   June 5th

   'Dig rocks, dig your mother'

   June 6

   'Dig rocks, dig your mother'

   June 7

  'Dig rocks, keep digging your mother'

   June 8

   'Oh my God, I don't have a girl in the mountains and forests. When I go on vacation next time, I must download a few hundred gigabytes of Welfare Ji in advance, otherwise I won't be able to live. ’

   Next is the excavation of ancient fossils for nearly two months, during which various kinds of fragrances from a researcher's mouth are mixed.

   This young researcher’s surname is Han and his name is Han Yuan. There are many self-portraits in his notes, from various angles, and some without clothes.

   Confirmed, this coquettish young man is Professor Han.

   I don't know how savage it is to kill the pig, so that the Sao Bao in the diary can be turned into a real autistic old man.

   July 15

  'Today, a group of people came to the site. They are college students majoring in ancient biology. Hey, the girl is so beautiful. ’

   July 16

  'Today, the drone took a figure on the mountain. Could it be a savage? I bet five hundred mechanical coins, it's the mother's. ’

   July 17

'Everyone gets what they get, well, I can't use the word 'what gets stolen', but it's too nonsense, this is the 26th century, extraterrestrial colonies have been established, and there are still lovers of ancient weapons, and Playing cosplay in the deep mountains and old forests, can't you simulate the environment in VR at home - how to solve these people's shit? ’

   July 19

  ‘I don’t know if my report passed or not. I really want to leave here. I’m a doctor of [Neurobiology]. It’s too nonsense to ask me to dig stones. ’

   July 20

  'Fuck, it's actually dug out, it's so big, is this thing alive? Can ancient biological cells really be integrated into colonization technology? If this is true, my professional thesis will be finished, and I will go directly to the peak of my life. ’

   October 13

  ‘The experiment failed, hey, slipped away, it’s boring, Bai was excited, with the current biotechnology, there are at least seven or eight difficulties that have not been overcome in order to integrate super ancient creatures into the strong breeding technology. ’

   October 21st

  ‘My application got a response, miracle! Human Body Application Technology Research Institute, I have never heard of this unit, but why is the confidentiality level so high? ’

  The senior engineer turned over and found a lot of torn pages behind the diary.

   seems to be the reason for secrecy, a lot of content has been ripped out.

   Third Lunar Calendar, 234, February 4

   Two years have passed.

  'It's hard to imagine that it turns out that high-level officials have long been in contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Any human body using technology is a pretense, and it is clearly bionic technology! ’

  ‘On this planet, our country already has the most powerful prosthetic technology and reproductive technology... Human bionics, do the upper levels want to transform us all into robots? ’

   March 8

   With the passage of the AI ​​Life Act and the Human Bionics Act, the species on our planet seem to have the right to choose freely.

  Although this freedom is given to us by aliens.

  May 9th

  The core of bionic technology is brain science!

  The senior engineer turned to the last page and raised his brows, gone?

   At the same time, the task prompt sounded on the system panel.

  [You get the 'Bionic Return to the Origin' quest fragment *1 (not lit)]

  Quest Fragments: Pieces of a large-scale mission network puzzle, you need to collect enough clues to uncover the truth of the mission.

  Quest Tip: The androids seem to be related to aliens? This may be a clue, but it is definitely not enough. Find more 'mission fragments' and piece together the truth of the entire bionic transformation.

   Fragment reward: incomplete mechanical puzzle*1
