"Civilization I was in?"
Chen Fan froze for a moment, then thought of the dangerous technology Yi had once mentioned: "Human Body Mechanization Modification?"
"I don't understand why that counts as dangerous technology."
Morr patiently explained, "Human Body Mechanization Modification is classified as dangerous technology because, for low-level civilizations, it carries an almost irreversible risk of spiraling out of control."
"The universe is fair. While possessing higher intelligence, most intelligent species pay the price of having frail bodies."
"And mechanization can rapidly enhance the physical strength of most intelligent species. For the vast majority of them, that is an irresistible temptation."
Morr smiled and shook his head. "Expecting intelligent species to control their own desires is practically a fantasy."
"So far, among the low-level civilizations discovered by the Human Federation that possess Human Body Mechanization Modification technology, almost none have managed to contain the spread of mechanization."
"From simple Mechanical Prosthetics to entirely mechanical bodies, mechanical modification is like poison, gradually eroding the flesh of every intelligent species."
"At the same time, large-scale mechanization subtly changes the way intelligent species think. For example... after losing the ability to feel pain, they often fall into danger without realizing it."
"The final outcome is often that the civilization is destroyed by the madness of individuals and vanishes completely into the vast universe."

"According to Yi's logs, this civilization also appears to be controlled by a religious form originating from an advanced civilization. Although that doesn't fall within the scope of dangerous technology, the Human Federation strictly prohibits such practices.
