Civilization Panel
The senior engineer didn't try to steal the kill, mainly because in his current state, forcibly trying to steal the kill would likely result in him being wiped out in one fell swoop by the opponent.
In that case, he will only be turned into a mind box, and will only be able to receive paper money from rich women during festivals.
"Tsk tsk, this guy is really fierce. As expected of a Tier 2 character, a Space Marine leader, he must be level 40."
The senior engineer walked down the stairs and looked at the gruesome death of the Michael alien. In fact, if the mind box in the other party's brain had not been broken, it would not have been so easy for him to die.
After all, in the face of the vast universe, interstellar life would not be able to survive if it did not have strong survival capabilities.
The senior engineer walked up to Gaia. Gaia looked at Professor Han, who had been dragged over by the red liquid, opened her palm, and the two parts of her body floated up. At the same time, a large amount of bio-protective material was drawn in and split into molecules. On the cross-section of the wound, all the cracks were absorbing bio-mimetic molecules and intertwining with each other.
Soon, a complete Professor Han body was pieced together, and at the same time, he opened his eyes.
"Professor, are you still alive?"
"I..." Professor Han clutched his head as countless fragments of memories rushed in, causing him a splitting headache.
After a long pause, Professor Han finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Was I just controlled?"
"Yes."
The senior engineer took out the mind-control box and tossed it over, saying, "Maybe it can solve your problem."
Professor Han clearly knew what this thing was. He staggered away with it in his hand, hoping the old man wouldn't have a mental breakdown. After all, anyone who finds out they're just a clone of someone else, or even an android, would be depressed for a while.
Especially for an old guy like him who comes from a civilized era, he has a relatively normal ethical view.
"Since the corpse is useless anyway, you shouldn't mind helping me collect it, right?" the senior engineer said cheerfully. "That eyeball is quite good, and that mechanical blood is also great, it's all intact."
With a thought, Gaia conjured up a glass tube from the shattered glass in the air, and at the same time, black and gold blood flowed from the other party's wound, pouring directly into the glass tube.
And the eyeball between the eyebrows of the Michael alien was also removed.
[You have obtained the bloodline item 'Black Prince's Blood']
[You have obtained the bloodline item 'Michael's Eye of Truth']
Black Prince's Bloodline (Top Grade): The Empire's most advanced technological product, a blend of twenty-five cutting-edge technologies including bionics, nanotechnology, bioengineering, biochemicals, and mechanometry, creating a mechanical bloodline perfectly suited to the 'Emperor's Mech'. Implantation of this bloodline significantly enhances mechanometry.
As for the alien eyeball, it looked like a pitch-black glass ball, twice as heavy as a regular glass ball.
Michael's Eye of Truth (Second-Tier Bloodline): The Michaelians' birthplace was a gas giant. The fog covering the planet interfered with the Michaelians' senses. In order to survive, the Michaelians had to evolve a visual organ capable of seeing through the chaotic fog.
Wow, both are good stuff.
Just these two things alone made the senior engineer feel that the trip was worthwhile.
It's not that there aren't aliens on the planet Ji Lie, but they are mostly concentrated in Cloud City. The senior engineer thought he would have to wait until later to get alien organs, but he didn't expect the research institute to give him a surprise.
The 'beast tide' created by Gaia was slowly receding, and these mechanical beast troops retreated in perfect unison. Only the super mechanical gorilla seemed to recognize him and glared fiercely at the senior engineer.
"What are your plans next? With the use of the 'radiation annihilation agent,' the oasis ecosystem will inevitably suffer irreversible damage. If you can't feed them, they might rebel against you."
Gaia glanced at the senior engineer, and whether it was just his imagination or not, the senior engineer actually sensed a hint of resentment in Gaia's eyes.
"I have a good place to go, would you like to come with me?"
"Where to?"
"It can't be explained in a sentence or two, see for yourself."
Gaia's arm transformed into transparent tentacles, which intertwined with the engineer's tentacles, causing light spots to rise and fall.
A vast and dilapidated military complex, areas of visible energy pollution, and even more mutated radiation-infested beasts.
Gaia quickly withdrew its tentacles, which then transformed into hands, as if deep in thought.
"That is indeed a nice place."
The senior engineer shrugged. What he told the other party was the Barren Desert, one of the six major deserts, and specifically, the heart of the Barren Desert.
This place was once the core of the battlefield on this continent, belonging to the radiation zone within the radiation zone, and the future base camp of the Beast God General.
Badlands
It's not an urban area, but the radiation intensity there is no lower than that of the radiation zone. In some areas, even radiation-infected beasts would be infected with severe radiation if they entered.
After much deliberation, the senior engineer decided to relocate the new oasis there. The reason was simple: after the urban clusters were being eliminated one by one, that place was the only place where biomaterials could be produced.
With the urban area gone, he still needs to find a map for players to farm monsters.
Moreover, the barren desert and the blue desert are very close to each other.
Ancient battlefields and coastal areas—that's two monster-producing regions, isn't it?
The senior engineer did not intend to leave immediately. Instead, he notified Tiepi to bring people over to move the goods, as there were a large number of valuable bionic equipment and experimental instruments here.
Gaia then manipulated her immense mental power to clean up the damage caused by the battle, sending large amounts of rubble and debris flying out of the research institute along a line.
As for these dangerous bionic experimental subjects, Gaia resealed them into different laboratories, and at this moment the laboratory doors were banging loudly.
It's worth mentioning that after learning he was a cyborg, Professor Han was much calmer than expected, and there was even a hint of relief in his expression.
The real Professor Han's ventriloquism skills are indeed more impressive than I imagined.
With the last area cleared, the three returned to the underground laboratory. A large number of Michaelian corpses were collected and piled up, which were valuable experimental materials.
Biomimicry is not just about imitating intelligent species on this planet; Professor Han is quite interested in imitating aliens.
"Fortunately, the research institute's mainframe was not damaged."
Professor Han skillfully turned on the projector computer in the underground research institute, and sure enough, all the previously missing data was there.
[You have read the secret documents of "Project Four", and your "Bionic Exchange" skill has been upgraded to level 1.]
[You have read the secret documents of "Project Four", and your "Bionic Exchange" skill has been upgraded to level 2.]
[You have read the secret documents of "Project Four", and your "Bionic Exchange" skill has been upgraded to level 10 (max).]
[You have read the secret documents of "Project Five", and your "Ecological Bionics" skill has been upgraded to level 10 (max).]
[You have read the secret documents of "Project Six", and your [Energy Bionic] skill has been upgraded to level 10 (max).]
Including the previous "brain bionics" and "life bionics", the entire research institute has a total of five professional knowledge areas.
Only the data from three projects—"Network Bionics," "Molecular Bionics," and "Evolutionary Bionics"—were taken away by the Bionic Black Prince and their whereabouts are unknown.
Then the familiar system notification sounded.
[You have acquired five max-level professional knowledge items under the 'Bionic Technology' professional knowledge chain, and are more than halfway there.]
[You have acquired five fully leveled professional knowledge items under the "Prosthetic Technology" professional knowledge chain, with more than halfway completed.]
[You have acquired five max-level professional knowledge items under the 'Biotechnology' professional knowledge chain, and are more than halfway there.]
[Since these three professional knowledge chains are under the same civilization system, you activate the second-level civilization system, the Modifier Civilization.]
The Modifier Civilization: This civilization is on the path of pursuing mechanical power. In the process, they have abandoned the inheritance of the original species and chosen true power. Others may despise them for abandoning tradition, but they believe that only by abandoning the past can they usher in a new life.
[Knowledge fusion under the Modifier Civilization, experience consumption -50%]
[Integration of professional knowledge chains under the Modifier Civilization, experience consumption -30%]
This civilization belongs to the category of semi-mechanical civilizations.
Semi-mechanical civilization: A mechanized society that embraces modification, which to some extent reduces the chances of a mechanical revolution. Robots and cyborgs coexist, and there is no racial fastidiousness, but life forms must undergo mechanical modification. To become a high-ranking citizen, one must undergo further modification. They have strong military capabilities, and the mainstream ideology pursues individual military strength. Social competition is brutal, and there is a tendency to expand outwards.
[The Civilization Panel is now open. Collect all four professional knowledge chains to unlock 'Civilization Traits']
[The Civilization panel is now available. Collect all professional knowledge chains to unlock 'Civilization Knowledge']
With the beeping sound, the senior engineer discovered that in addition to the personal panel, task panel, and faction panel, there was a fourth panel, namely the civilization system panel.
Civilization: The Civilization of Transformers
Civilization Knowledge: Not Activated
Civilization Traits: Not Activated
Civilized architecture: None
Professional knowledge chains: 'Mechanical Life' (gray), 'Synthetic Gene Chain' (gray), 'Bionic Technology', 'Corpse Technology' (gray), 'Biochemical Technology', 'Prosthetic Technology'
Most of the panel was gray, with only the 15 professional knowledge points obtained by the senior engineer being bright, but even that was less than one-fifth of the area.
In his previous life, as one of the few faction-based players, Gao Gong was well aware of the benefits of this civilization panel.
Putting everything else aside, just the knowledge of each gray area of the profession, and the alternative options available, saved him a lot of effort. If he had to try and fail one by one, the cost would have been a hundred times greater.
Not to mention the experience gained from gambling on blueprints, which is reduced by half.
The senior engineer's mood improved considerably.
Professor Han gave the other person a strange look and said, "Did you guess what I'm thinking?"
"Uh, what are you thinking about?"
"I have found a bionic modification solution that suits you."
The senior engineer was invigorated; what a wonderful thing!
Project 4 - Bionic Experiment 8 - Symbiote
Project Content: Modify human body attributes from the ground up, transforming the human body into an organ symbiont where all organs receive enhancements from different systems, gaining exponentially increased risk resistance.
Experimental subject requirements: Possessing powerful bioenergy and a certain degree of deformability.
---Aside---
The next chapter will be a little later, around 7 or 8 pm.
