Chapter 696 - 221: The Concept of Synthetic People

Gao Gong took it somewhat surprised and used an Investigation Skill.

Name: Biomechanical Aggregation (Fern)

Race: Biomechanical Species

Status: Deceased

Level: 40

Personal Attributes: ???

Status: Switch Mode

Compared to before, it has evolved from ’Mutant Life’ into ’Biomechanical Life’.

And there’s an additional ’Death State’.

This indicates that this ’Fern’ Biomechanical Knight is truly gone.

"During the resistance against the avalanche, I discovered it wasn’t destroyed, so I brought it over, maybe you need it."

Ye the Big Lolita added.

After all, her teddy bears were all gone in the avalanche, the fact that this thing wasn’t destroyed means it must have a close connection with the avalanche.

"A bit unexpected, President Ye, I still prefer your previous unruly demeanor."

Gao Gong teased.

Ye the Big Lolita immediately widened her eyes and looked at him angrily.

Xiao Yu, whose brain never worked well, also added fuel to the fire.

"I also like this Little Ye."

"What, does this mean you’re planning to give up the competition for Number 13?"

Ye the Big Lolita opened her mouth but forced herself not to speak.

It seems she still wants it but knows that she can’t single-handedly contain Number 13, so she chose to back down.

"Let me invest in the Holy Brain Group, then we can consider it."

Black Rose said unexpectedly.

"You!!"

Ye the Big Lolita glared at her furiously.

Why does this scene feel a bit familiar?

Gao Gong, pondering with his deficient brain, recalled that when Director Du helped the Holy Brain Group resist the mercenary army of the Eternal Life Conglomerate, he also requested to invest.

Indeed, there’s an indescribable tacit understanding among rich ladies.

But compared to Sister Rose, Director Du seems much more genuine.

"Alright, let’s talk about this later," Gao Gong played the peacemaker, then said meaningfully to Ye the Big Lolita:

"Maybe you think that containing the last Destruction Form can greatly enhance your abilities, but everything comes at a cost. The price of harnessing the Cosmic Relic Fragment might exceed your expectations."

Ye the Big Lolita’s expression changed, wanting to hear more, but unfortunately, Gao Gong didn’t plan to continue speaking. He gently placed his palm on the tree, sensing its structural components.

"The crystallization of Biomechanical Technology, interesting, it feels—"

Feels like a low-end version of the Fusion Route.

Compared to the legitimate Fusion Route, it’s naturally not up to par.

But it has a very special advantage, which is its ability to mass-produce.

This type of Biomechanical Knight camp soldier species is technically more advanced than Hunters.

Gao Gong was very interested in it.

With a thought, a part of the rejection power within his body was injected into it, and the next moment, something bizarre happened.

The dead monster tree began to sprout, flesh branches trembling rapidly, growing leaves with neural networks.

On the surface of the trunk, a large amount of flesh seemed to be scraped down with a bone-cutting knife, finally revealing the mechanical device inside.

Name: Anti-Life Signal Converter

Level: Tier 2

Status: Destroyed

Note: A very special device that can sense virtual signals and convert them into a special anti-life signal

"Anti-Life Signal."

This term was new to Gao Gong.

But based on his last life’s memory, anything with ’anti-’ in its name tended to be quite dangerous.

’Antimatter Corps’, ’Galactic Counter Tide’, ’Anti-Dimensional Life’, ’Anti-Universal Constant’.

Most of these were tagged with the nickname ’Celestial Calamity’.

And considering the terrifying power of the ’avalanche’, this is undoubtedly something similar.

Could Biomechanical Technology really have a connection with the ’Fusion Route’?

Otherwise, how did it give rise to something like this?

What intrigued Gao Gong more was whether the Knight Order had ’technological products’ that could lower rejection.

"How did you do it? This thing is still a mechanical device?"

Ye the Big Lolita’s eyes rolled as she said:

"Maybe we can take it back to the Holy Brain Group’s technology center for reverse engineering."

"The Electronic Grid’s network technology is much stronger, no need to trouble President Ye," Black Rose smiled subtly, blocking her rhetoric.

Hmph, this woman again!

So what if she has a big chest, I’ll punch it out!

"No need for that," Gao Gong shook his head.

He used the power of rejection to separate the ’meat’ from the ’mechanics’ of ’Biomechanical Technology’.

The fusion of the two is naturally quite complex, but separated, it can be easily handled.

After all, as a ’rebel force’, the Knight Order’s technology doesn’t match up to the Mother City, nor to the super corporations.

They didn’t even put a password lock on the ’flesh cells’.

A mouth squeezes out from Gao Gong’s palm, starting to voraciously chew the separated flesh.

On the 5.0 version biological computer, the decryption of the opponent’s biotechnology begins swiftly.

On the system panel, prompts sound one after another—

[You have obtained Level 6 Biological Blueprint [Cell Activator]]

[You have obtained Level 7 Biological Blueprint [Biological Compatibility Tester]]

[You have obtained Level 7 Biological Blueprint [Reproductive Separation Surgery Table]]

...

The levels of these blueprints aren’t high.

But some bug-level technologies originate from these basic technologies.

However, it takes quite a bit of luck to select the most suitable and powerful one from a complex technological route.

Luck is also a reflection of a civilization’s strength.

And now, Gao Gong realizes that the ability of ’war’ to develop biomechanical technology close to a ’fusion route’ is probably no coincidence.

He also vaguely guesses the function of that ’cosmic relic’.

As Ye the Big Lolita watches with wide eyes as a mouth grows on Gao Gong’s palm and then devours the entire ’tree trunk’.

Even though the scene doesn’t shock her, it still makes her wonder, is this one also a ’mutant’? Otherwise, how would he have so many bizarre abilities?

Just which biotechnology giant could possibly cultivate such a freak?

"Boss, is it tasty?"

The enormous ’Mechanical Emperor’ squats down, looking at the three little figures below.

"Not bad, it tastes a bit sweet."

Gao Gong glanced at the Doomsday Black Armor and said, "Watch closely, learn well, you’ll have to fight someone who controls this kind of technology sooner or later."

Xiao Yu nodded earnestly.

As the devouring finished, inside the ’biological computer’, images started to display.

These were the pheromones left in the ’cells’, recomposed by Gao Gong.

Then, Gao Gong understood what ’Avalanche’ was all about.

"So that’s how it is."

’Avalanche’ is not a unique creation of ’war’, but a product of collaboration between the ’War Host’ and ’Laruelle’.

’Laruelle’ is number 13, the final Destruction Form, the system controller of the human brain.

And there’s even more explosive news.

The initially born Destruction Form and the finally born Destruction Form share a very close relationship.

This relationship is that they can ’merge into one’ in a short time.

Thus, ’Avalanche’ was born.

"Being able to merge into one, how could I not know about this?"

The Black Rose, upon hearing this, expressed skepticism, for she was ’11’, and also one of the later-born Destruction Forms.

"Perhaps Bionic A and Prometheus didn’t want to tell you."

Gao Gong shrugged.

He is number 5, Xiao Yu is number 7, they could not have such an experience.

And why the Black Rose doesn’t have it, can only be speculated that perhaps the three ’Bionic Ancestors’ working together could have triggered certain abilities.

"Have you confirmed the location of ’13’? If ’13’ has already merged with the war, does that mean we’ve failed this time?"

The two ladies were very unwilling.

"No," Gao Gong shook his head, "’The War Host’s’ state is now hard to describe, ’13’ hasn’t fully revived, there’s still a chance, but we must hurry."

He looked up at the sky, which had lost its radiation layer and was clear and cloudless.

"Before the ’Corporate War’ enters its third stage, there’s still a chance for full containment. Once the ’Original Brain’ is completely expelled from human society by the ’Electronic Brain’, it means that 13 will leave the placenta and be fully born. Time, time is crucial."

...

"Time is extremely important to us."

Du Zhaodi emphasized pointedly.

In the scene before her, a large number of unmanned mechas and the Holy Brain Group’s mutants fight together, defending against various attacks from the sea, land, and air.

Various new weapons appeared on the battlefield, some advanced prosthetic devices, continent-level weapons, airborne and ground strikes, and even large-scale biological bombshells dispersed.

And the scattered remnants of dismantled unmanned mechas demonstrated the enemy’s ferocity.

However, Du Zhaodi remained confident.

"As long as the enemy’s casualties don’t outpace our production speed, we can delay them to death. The reason is simple: the enemy can’t indefinitely invest manpower here, and the corporate war doesn’t only have us as opponents."

A senior executive of the Holy Brain Group sat in a chair, frowning as he watched some footage of biological weapons deployment.

"It seems some of our peers have also joined this game, haha."

Then, this executive admiredly said to Du Zhaodi:

"Unexpectedly, Leader Du, you foresaw and prepared so many unmanned mechas. These mechas match some large weapons in firepower, but their mobility surpasses some military vehicles, and more importantly, they don’t fear destruction, unlike our mutants who aren’t as fortunate."

To prevent the headquarters from being overrun, the Holy Brain Group also dispatched a large number of mutants to the battle, including some A-level and S-level mutants.

However, these advanced biological weapons were deadly elsewhere, but on the actual battlefield, they weren’t much stronger than other low-level cannon fodder.

After all, not all mutants are G-class monsters.

And after many mutants perished, the Holy Brain Group faced a shortage of manpower.

"It’s a pity, if Synthetic People had been developed, we wouldn’t lack manpower," this executive lamented while clenching his fists.
