Android

???

Guo Yi looked at Shi Dafan with curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, he asked weakly, "Have you gone crazy from watching Little Monkey King?

Or did training turn your brain to mush?

How could a person possibly dismantle a Gundam barehanded?

I may not know the mysteries and limits of the human body, but there will always be a gap between people and technology!

When someone's physical abilities reach the point where they can dismantle a Gundam barehanded, the society they live in must have even more advanced technology!"

Seeing the others' baffled expressions, Guo Yi patiently explained, "A simple example: cultivators can summon wind and rain.

Wouldn't their Magic Treasures be even more miraculous?

And Magic Treasures can be regarded as their technology!

Just look at Investiture of the Gods!

What they competed over wasn't individual strength, but whose Magic Treasure was more badass!"

After thinking it over, the Lone Wolf members understood what Guo Yi meant.

That was right. Immortals were badass, but their weapons were just as badass!

How long did an immortal need to cultivate?

And how long did those Magic Treasures take to create?

An immortal relied on personal opportunities, talent, and effort, and in the end, only achieved personal strength.

But as long as the materials were available, Magic Treasures could be mass-produced, with one for everyone!

So in the end, it all came down to one sentence: no matter how skilled you are in Martial Arts, you still fear a kitchen knife!

As people themselves improved, the corresponding technology would certainly improve as well!

"Technology and the human body complement each other!" Guo Yi returned to his seat and began revising the blueprints, explaining as he worked. "Take the crew of a Gundam or a Space Battleship, for example~

No, let's use Supersonic Aircraft pilots.

Not everyone can become a Supersonic Aircraft pilot. One issue is physical fitness, and the other is mental capability!

And when everyone can become a Supersonic Aircraft pilot, the technology will certainly have even more outrageous, ultra-supersonic aircraft!"

The Lone Wolf members gathered around him, and Geng Jihui suddenly asked, "What does that have to do with the Gundam?"

Guo Yi rubbed his hair and said helplessly, "Ostrich, you explain it!

As a paratrooper who knows how to fly aircraft, if you still don't understand, you might as well kill yourself!"

The Lone Wolf members looked at Ostrich. At that moment, he was deep in thought before finally saying, "Mobility Overload!"

"Bingo!" Guo Yi snapped his fingers. The blueprints before him began rapidly sorting and merging, while he explained to the Lone Wolf members, "A Gundam's agility determines that, within the atmosphere, its Mobility Overload will be greater and stronger!

No matter how advanced the Anti-G Suit or Anti-G Device is, they can never completely avoid this!

So your current physical condition simply can't handle piloting the Gundam I designed for myself!

I have to consider the majority of people.

And I've undergone adjustments. My physical abilities aren't something you can compare to!"

By the end, Guo Yi looked at them with contempt. "Your physical fitness is strong, sure, but not only are you covered in hidden injuries.

You've even overdrawn your bodies' potential, which means your physical abilities may never rise above the passing line!"

"Wait, you said your body had been adjusted!?" Shi Dafan suddenly shouted. "You used Gene Modification on yourself?"

"Ah?" Hearing Shi Dafan's question, the Lone Wolf members looked at Guo Yi in shock.

Guo Yi's mouth twitched as he said speechlessly, "That was Drug Adjustment and Gene Repair, not Gene Modification.

You should have the list of all the supplies I smuggled in. There are plenty of medicinal herbs on it!

Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. Many of its theories are beyond comparison with Western medicine!

Especially when it comes to Gene Repair!"

After pausing, Guo Yi said hesitantly, "Of course, it's not that I don't understand genetic technology. But with what I know, if I dared release genetic technology, humanity would be one hundred percent doomed!

I wouldn't be able to clean up the mess, much less control it!

So genetic technology is a double-edged sword. Other than genetic technology that I can guarantee has no side effects—

I wouldn't release even a trace of it, even if I died!

Especially so-called Gene Modification and superhumans. Those definitely won't be released!

That's a bottomless pit bought at the cost of humanity's future diversity!"

"What about androids?" Shi Dafan blinked and suddenly raised another question. "Doggie's intelligence isn't low, so couldn't you make androids?

Like Number 18 from Little Monkey King? Or Android 8?"

Guo Yi glanced at the expectant Lone Wolf members and understood what they meant.

Not to mention Number 18's permanent energy, endless stamina, and unchanging appearance.

Just the power to destroy a planet by himself was completely to their liking!

"Sure! Go find the materials for me!" Guo Yi sneered. "The most important thing about Number 18 is her energy source, and her energy core is called a Divine Power Crystal. Go find one for me.

"Or Android 8. Aside from his physical structure, he could be treated entirely as a human.

"And the most crucial part of that is his neurons!

"These neurons come from humans. Give me hundreds of thousands of healthy people, continuously stimulate the neurons in their brains, select the qualifying neurons while they're still alive, and install them into the android.

"Oh, right. As for this so-called stimulation—

"Human brain neurons are most active when subjected to torture!

"Pain is the best way to continuously stimulate human brain neurons, and also the simplest and cheapest method!"

"..."

Everyone in Lone Wolf shuddered, staring at Guo Yi in horror.

"Don't look at me like that." Guo Yi looked at them helplessly, shrugged, and said calmly, "That's just the principle. I don't have the materials.

"So I don't know whether it would work or not!"

"If you had the materials, then wouldn't you..."

Guo Yi rubbed his chin, his eyes gleaming as he looked at them. "Don't you think it's fascinating?

"The human body can actually generate energy, fly through the air out of nowhere, and cross the universe!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is the charm of technology too!"

"...A madman!"

The members of Lone Wolf looked at one another, swallowed, and reached the same conclusion.

At the same time, they resolved to report Guo Yi's words in full detail!

Someone had to monitor Guo Yi's mental state and keep an eye on his research at all times!

They couldn't let him accidentally become an anti-human scientist!

Of course, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Guo Yi was interested in the universe, not the human body.

Otherwise, judging by his attitude, he would be researching androids instead of Gundams right now!

And they would not be able to communicate with him so "harmoniously." They would have to prepare their coffins and die with him!

"Relax, relax~" Guo Yi waved his hand, seeing their concern, and said calmly, "Androids!

"What they create are humans, not intelligence!

"No matter how intelligent Doggie may look, it's still only intelligence!

"When it truly evolves to be the same as a human, it'll become a civilized species!

"Who knows whether Doggie can survive until then—or whether humanity can survive until then!

"Besides, I'm not interested in creating people~ No, I'm very interested in the simplest way of creating people!

"Easy and pleasurable for both body and mind!

"So if there's a simple way that can also make me happy, why make it so complicated and painful?

"As for roaming the universe~ Isn't everything I'm doing now moving toward that goal?

"The goal is the same, so naturally I'll choose the method that benefits me most and is safest!"

The members of Lone Wolf watched Guo Yi turn back to examine the merged blueprints again, then exchanged glances.

After that, Geng Jihui hurriedly ran out.

There was no need to think about it. This had to be reported immediately—it was far too terrifying!
