What is the definition of life?

This is an issue in the universe that is an idle but painful one that must be discussed.

After all, most of the civilizations that can enter the universe can't starve to death. When they don't starve to death, everyone starts to think about life.

The definition of life, at best, is a tool to kill time while squatting in a pit. At worst, it can even determine the diplomatic relations between two civilizations.

After all, an extinct regime and a mixed-race federation would never go together.

In the eyes of intelligent species, independence and freedom are symbols of life.

But this is only the view of some intelligent species. Parabiote species, bacterial races, nano-will, and hive mind are dissatisfied.

In the universe, there are indeed many intelligent races that are not independent or autonomous, but live a good life.

This type of intelligent race is the most common among carbon-based civilizations.

Having said so much, I just want to prove one thing. Some species, such as 'Kelmos', only care about evolution and do not care about some unique human perspectives, such as loyalty, freedom, belonging, and betrayal.

Its only purpose of existence is to evolve.

And the way it evolved is that it was studied.

In the past, it was studied by the 'Water Monkey Scientists', then by the 'Knights', and then, by 'Someone Gao'.

To put it simply——

She just wants to be the county magistrate's wife, it doesn't matter who is the county magistrate.

Therefore, when Gao Gong demonstrated his own methods, especially the 'technology' that could assist it further, it was only natural that 'Kelmos', the king of deep sea leeches, chose to cooperate.

It was on this basis that the two sides joined forces to trick the 'Black Palm Flag Officer' to death.

…

In the deepest part of the Eye of the Ocean, there is an ancient trench. At this time, in the deep sea tunnel, a huge thing squeezed out of the black hole.

Just its protruding part is enough to make someone with a macrophobia faint.

Black intestines with a diameter of ten meters were poked out. These 'intestines' seemed to have no end, extending to nearly the sea level before stopping.

This kind of height cannot even be compared to the super buildings in the cyber era.

The next moment, a terrifying suction force came out, and huge whirlpools emerged one after another on the sea level.

After being summoned by 'God', a large number of 'Ocean Knights' flew out from the bottom of the sea riding cloud-winged beasts. These warriors had wild eyes and strange murmurs, like songs, and the targets they attacked were no longer It's the mixed-race marine people, but their former allies - the Knights!

A sudden battle started just like that.

In the direction of the submarine, a meat knight fiercely pinched the neck of a water monkey scientist, almost tearing it off.

"What are your people doing? Tell them to stop immediately! Otherwise I will kill you!"

On the periphery of the submarine, a large number of ocean knights appeared. With a completely lifeless attitude, they frantically besieged the meat knights, not caring about their own death. It didn't matter if ten were exchanged for one, or even a hundred were exchanged for one.

The Meat Cavalry, which was already short of manpower, immediately fell into a high-intensity casualty situation.

The water monkey scientist has a calm expression:

"43% of our bodies are cells, and the remaining 57% are microorganisms."

"In the human genome, 37% of the genes come from bacteria, 28% from eukaryotes, 16% from animals, and 15% from vertebrates. Only 6% are completely new genes."

"The physical body is not the essence of life."

The meat knight was so angry that he tore off one of the opponent's arms and shouted:

"What do you mean!?"

"I mean, what you call death is the end of self-consciousness, but for us, it is just a new journey of life. Our genes, cells, and other microorganisms will become one with our mother, waiting for the next time 'birth'."

"It's strange. You have mastered powerful biotechnology, but your thinking is exactly the same as that of humans. It's incredible."

‘Crack’, the water monkey scientist’s neck was pinched.

"Kill them!"

With the roar of the meat knight, all the water monkey scientists were slaughtered one after another, and even many human scientists were affected by the aftermath, and many died.

And as the thick outer steel of the submarine was torn apart, the beast pupils of each Ocean Knight lit up at the cracks.

…

And in the ancient trench, "Kelmos" showed its complete picture.

In the 'small intestine area', a fleshy body slowly squeezed out, and countless transparent leeches lay on the surface of her body, absorbing the fragments of her consciousness, preventing her from emitting a trace of biological signals.

The senior engineer also appeared, floating opposite her. His hair grew longer and redder, and its properties changed from ordinary hair to nerve bundles.

Red electricity shot out from his head, piercing various parts of the opponent's body.

S-level talent, ‘Flesh and Blood Fusion’ is activated!

[Your power +1]

[Your Agility +1]

[Your power +1]

[You get the random talent ‘Biological Hard Drive’]

…

As the 'Star Absorbing Technique' unfolded, the body of the female flag officer turned white visibly to the naked eye, like a seriously ill patient with a massive loss of body nutrients.

Seeing that the opponent had been weakened to a certain extent, Gao Gong immediately used another talent of his - reverse symbiosis.

Reverse symbiosis (bloodline talent): The greatest ability of the symbiote is to devour the other party's body and gain the other party's abilities. However, as an artificial symbiote, you can separate part of the 'body' and let the other party master your abilities. .

This time, it was Gao Gong's turn that the flesh and blood on his body drained away rapidly, and soon only a mechanical body was left.

All the lost flesh and blood is integrated into the opponent's body.

The other party's complexion has improved visibly, even better than before.

Not only was her nutrition back, she even had Gao Gong's 'nutrition'.

But this back and forth, coupled with the previous system downtime and hard drive explosion of the other party, led to a result.

That is, when she opened her eyes, she was already in the shape of a senior engineer.

"Tsk, tsk, biological computers are just convenient. They are not even a little bit better than brain computers."

The senior engineer felt the powerful computing power in his brain and the biological system that seemed to be able to control everything. With a thought, the memory of the 'Black Palm Flag Officer' was extracted.

If an outsider invades, this memory will be destroyed immediately, but it's up to you to see what mosaic you want.

‘To conquer that ‘leech’, we need the computing power of that insect. ’

‘Biological computers, this is the only way to avoid the deep web. ’

‘By mastering it, we can evolve ‘ancient creatures’, those powerful and dark life forces in history. ’

At the round table meeting, the knight manager said solemnly.

The Black Palm Flag Officer sat among them, his face tense and silent.

"Black Flag, you're responsible for dealing with this bug."

"good!"

As the Black Palm Flag Officer stood up, this 'memory' was completely gone.

"Then, let's take another look at the Knights' stronghold."

The next moment, a huge map appeared in the memory, not only the 9-3 Guanzhong plate, but also the other five continents in the 'Pan-Asia region'.

There are more than thirty little red dots in total, surrounding these plates. Each little red dot is a secret base of the Knights.

‘Ding~’

[You obtain the second level-difficulty level mission, stronghold destruction]

[Mission: Stronghold Destruction]

Difficulty: Level 2 - Hard

Mission briefing: The root of the problem must be eradicated. Since we are already sworn rivals with the Knights, why not be more ruthless and destroy all the underground bases of the Knights.

Mission goal: Destroy the Pan-Asian region and all Knights’ bases

Mission reward: experience +300,000, sea reputation +8,000, three random knights technology blueprints

‘The technology of the Knights is at least the second-level technology. Even with better luck, it is not impossible to achieve the third-level technology. ’

According to the system's camp level classification, the worst the Knights can do is reach the peak of the second-order camp. In the not-too-distant future, the Knights during the Cyber ​​Tide period will undoubtedly be at the third level.

The senior engineer opened the 'Flag Officer' panel again.

Name: Black Palm Flag Officer

Occupation: Meat Machine Master lv45, Biohacker lv30

boss template: system controller

Attributes……

Not to mention the level, these attributes alone are not much worse than that of a senior engineer, and strength and agility are even higher than those of a senior engineer.

Although it ended badly.

Not as good as a certain great knight.

As soon as he thought about it, the 'networking mode' of the biological computer was automatically turned on. The huge pseudo-sensory signal almost covered the entire sea surface. This was the power of cyberspace. With the signal retrieval, Gao Gong soon found what he was looking for. .

Under a tree of wisdom, the 'little woman' suddenly raised her head and let out a light sigh.

"This is different from your previous plan."

"Youdao, plans are worse than changes. How about you come over?"

"kindness."

The next moment, Gao Gong felt that a stream of data converted from biological signals was directly uploaded to the 'brain disk'.

When he came to his senses, the 'little woman' had already appeared in front of him.

"How did you convince it?"

Looking at the intestines running through the sea in front of her, the 'little woman' asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I can do what the Knights can do, and I can do what the Knights can't do."

"For example, this-"

The 'Female Flag Officer' suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a stream of data visible to the naked eye, landing directly on her intestines.

Similarly, the senior engineer's hand became illusory, allowing data to flow through his palm.

[You obtain the tenth level biological drawing [Biological Computer]]

[You obtain level 11 biological drawings [large biological computer]]

Then, the next moment, the top formed by the 'small virtual realm' appeared. This time, the top did not turn into a rain of electronic light, but became bigger and bigger. Gradually, it became as big as a fortress. The outermost layer The code is finally a little unstable.

"Help me!"

The 'little woman' nodded, and the next moment, a biological LAN that was much stronger than the S-class radiation beast appeared.

And the light of the 'Kelmos' LAN also covered the top.

The two forces intertwined, and the top began to rotate endlessly. A large number of biological signals were transferred in, and a large number of biological codes were transferred out, covering the large intestine.

The code light on 'Kelmos' is becoming more and more complex, and even seems to be turning towards the 'little woman'.

The "biological hardware technology" of the Knights is indeed very good, even from the perspective of a senior engineer.

But when it comes to software, it's not just average.

It was so bad that his allies felt something was wrong and they all rebelled.

Finally, the body of 'Kelmos' gradually disappeared, and a human form resembling a 'little woman' appeared. That was the 'Water Monkey Scientist' whose neck had just been broken off.

This one is finally done with virtualization.

[You assist the S-level radiation beast-Electronic Leech to complete the breakthrough, experience +50000]

The 'Water Monkey Scientist' looked at the 'little woman', thought for a moment, and said:

"I've seen you."

"Well, I once tried to connect to your biological realm. However, due to some unexpected factors, I failed to contact you."

The unexpected factor is of course the Knights.

‘Water Monkey Scientist’ nodded:

"I can feel the vague destructive elements among the people of the Knights."

"Destructive factor, you mean Honkai energy?" Gao Gong asked.

"It is somewhat similar to the power you have, but it is not exactly the same. It can even be said to be completely opposite."

"Yeah?"

‘War’ is a blackened version of Honkai Impact?

"Our transaction is not over yet," the 'Water Monkey Scientist' reminded. "I need your assistance in the last step of transformation."

"Of course," Gao Gong said with a smile: "The intelligence brought together by millions of biological machines will inevitably cause qualitative changes."

The 'little woman' also showed a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps this technique can be useful to me too."

…

Ten days later, Trilobite looked at the last lit sacred tree with excitement.

He finally understood now that the enemy was at the headquarters! In other words, the enemy is the 'pure-blood elder'.

Countless clues indicate that these elders colluded with the Knights, sealed the gods, and then massacred the hybrids.

The purpose is naturally to completely cut off the possibility of the god 'Kelmos' reviving.

That’s what Uncle Beard said.

Captain Sun Hong also meant the same thing.

And he is the person chosen by the gods, the pig's foot in this plot, the chosen one, the one who can draw SSR by drawing cards.

Under the influence of the triple identities of the Holy Tree, the Son of God, and the top hunter, he won the unanimous support of the entire mixed-race tribe.

Moreover, during this period of time, he continued to conquer other branches of mixed-race tribes and strengthen his own power, until now, this last step.

Sure enough, as the last sacred tree was lit, the illusion of 'Kelmos' reappeared, speaking human words.

"Go, complete the final great cause, revive, evolve, and let the throne of the Eye of the Ocean float in the sky again!"

Trilobite turned his head and looked. Countless mixed-blood warriors were staring at him, waiting for his order.

"Set off!!!"

But in the Eye of the Ocean, Gao Gong raised his head and said "Huh".

"Oh, the data is connected, then I'll turn on the phone."
