Machine Generation (Part 1)

"Our hope for transformation still rests on Fuqing Island."

"Dr. Rong studies mechanical deformation, Dong Gang studies neural connections, and we're missing a biologist to study biological deformation."

Once players reach a higher level, they will find that leveling up is not difficult; the most difficult part is modifying various technologies.

It takes grinding countless faction reputation quests to obtain the upgrade.

What's even more infuriating is that many of the products they give you are second-rate. Who says NPCs can't be cunning and dishonest?

"As for the direction of transformation, whichever one is developed first—blue-blooded human, fibrous life form, or carbon-based fluid organism—that's the one we'll use."

Inside the military aircraft, the senior engineer was comfortably reclining in a chair, resting with his head in his hands.

Beside it, the AI of the military aircraft, "Tank Lolita," was curiously examining the "Machine-Splitting Greatsword." It sensed the presence of its kind on the sword.

"Is it also a mechanical life form?"

"It's a sword-wielding destiny," the senior engineer casually remarked.

The surface of the Machine Crack Greatsword began to deform, and a row of energy nozzles emerged from one side of the blade. With a flash of light, the sword severed the senior engineer's neck.

The "Tank Lolita" has her mouth wide open.

The senior engineer's head fell off and rolled several times on the ground.

"Just kidding, don't get excited. You're a sword-destined person, and so am I. In the end, we'll both have to become one with the sword."

Even though its head was gone, its mouth didn't stop.

The Machine Crack Greatsword snorted coldly, and its hilt began to deform, turning into a long claw that grabbed the senior engineer's head and reattached it.

"You may have changed your personality, but why bring up pride? That's not a good thing. Don't forget, only rich women can be proud. We young men are all about playing hard to get."

Ignoring the senior engineer, the Greatsword turned to look at the "Tank Little Girl". After staring at her for a few seconds, the Greatsword began to transform again, and countless mechanical spines, mechanical skeletons, and even mechanical prosthetic eyes popped out. A moment later, a "Tank Little Boy" appeared.

"Oh, you really are just like us!"

!

The little girl got excited, and a moment later, the holographic projections of the other two stealth fighters also ran over, vying to play with the little boy.

"Could it be that XP has changed under deep deformation? This rejection rate is really high," the senior engineer thought to himself after glancing at it.

The reason he transformed his mechanical body into a greatsword was not to become a swordsman, but because once the mechanical body and the biological body were separated, the rejection would reach a level he could accept.

On the other side, Tong, the collider, and Chappie exchanged glances every now and then. Finally, it was Tong who spoke up.

"I believe you can tell that we are not enemies, so we can have a real conversation."

"When you say 'communication,' are you referring to one word or two characters?"

Tong was stunned for three seconds before she reacted, her face turning bright red. Cha Pai next to her couldn't help but chuckle, and then she glared at him fiercely.

The senior engineer shrugged. "If you're thinking of using me to trace back to a certain lady, I advise you not to get involved. You just saw what happened to those who caused me trouble."

"But if all you want is to know the whereabouts of your Minister Aramaki, then I can do you a small favor, provided you cooperate with me."

The three perked up, and the collider couldn't help but ask, "How exactly will we cooperate?"

"At certain times, it's enough to just show your identity as the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit," the senior engineer said before closing his eyes to rest.

A flash of electronic light appeared in Chapai's eyes, instantly pulling the three of them into an encrypted communication channel.

"What does he mean?" the collider asked.

"Where is Minister Aramaki? Where is he? Judging from what he said, the minister isn't dead?!" The child's voice was filled with excitement.

"Perhaps it's just the minister's corpse," Chappie joked, immediately earning a fierce glare from the other two.

"Probe some more, Tong. Show off your limited good looks and try to extract some more information," the collider urged.

"You're kidding me, is she serious?" Seeing Tong glaring at him, Cha Pai quickly added, "What I mean is, say something nicer, don't use that tone you use with us, be gentle, don't make the atmosphere so tense."

Tong pondered for a moment, then asked seriously, "I need definite information. Tell me immediately! Otherwise, I'll use the authority of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division to report you to the Machine Agent, preventing you from entering the City That Never Sleeps!"

The other two immediately collapsed in laughter. Is this your gentleness?

The senior engineer opened one eye. "That's not a bad idea. You can probably guess that I'm planning to cause trouble in the City That Never Sleeps, but sorry, it's too late."

"What's the meaning?"

"You don't need to report it, the agent is here!"

The next moment, the three tank lolis suddenly squatted down with their heads in their hands, making "woo woo" sounds.

"Don't hit me!"

"Surrender! Surrender!"

"Captain Motoko, where are you?"

The senior engineer looked out the window and saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the dark clouds and lightning were actually mechanical eyelines and energy rays.

"Such powerful mechanical strength! Level four, right?"

The collider was clearly taken aback. How could a mechanical mainframe that only controlled a light unmanned army possess such powerful mechanical energy?

Based on the standards of the mother city, the mechanical city is divided into five levels: Level 1 (Defense Level), Level 2 (Killing Level), Level 3 (Mechanical Level), Level 4 (Space Level), and Level 5 (Quasi-Planetary Level).

The defensive level refers to the military capability to defend against ordinary enemies, which generally refers to rebel forces.

The Killer class possesses weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear bombs, superviruses, and satellite-guided weapons.

Most mechanical cities are at level three. Here, mechanical level refers to the ability to attack other mechanical systems, such as mechanical cities of the same level.

In ancient times, this would have been the power to completely conquer a country.

Level 4 and Level 5 are rare. Level 4 refers to having the ability to fight in outer space, while Level 5 has global firepower and can attack any corner of the planet with its own defensive capabilities.

In theory, level four and level five mechanical cities have the potential to become new mother cities.

Tong was clearly taken aback.

It feels different now.

The machine in front of us is even more powerful and aggressive.

"Hidden Guard, activate the defense system!"

"Cannot be opened".

"My skin is being penetrated, sob sob, it's so uncomfortable."

"There are lots of little bugs crawling around."

The senior engineer also stood up with a solemn expression. He stretched out his hand, and the next moment, the Machine Crack Greatsword shot directly into his palm. The Neuron Armor burst out from the hilt of the sword, covering his entire body without a single gap.

"I sensed something very uncomfortable at the genetic level, and if I'm not mistaken, it's nanoweapons."

Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed. Even in the Mother City, nanoweapons were among the most advanced.

One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. If something at this level were developed, a Type 2 civilization's defenses would be 99% unable to withstand it.

Even the most seamless armor is no exception; it can pass directly through the gaps between molecules and enter the microscopic level of the human body.

[You are being invaded by nanomolecules; your motor system is being controlled, 5%, 10%, 20%, 25%...]

[You are being invaded by nanomolecules; your circulatory system is being controlled, 5%, 10%...]

[You have been invaded by nanomolecules, and your endocrine system has been controlled by 20%, 30%, etc.]

The senior engineer took a deep breath and exhaled, a blast of cold air shooting out of his mouth, landing on the ground and freezing into a layer of ice.

"Ah, so cool! So cool! So cool!"

A tank loli screamed.

The cold air quickly spread, extending directly to the control panel and even causing many systems to malfunction.

"What are you doing?" Tong asked in surprise.

"He covered his entire body with low-temperature ion gas, so that even if nanomolecules entered the cell layer, they would most likely be frozen."

Seeing that the two didn't understand, the collider said directly, "Just think of it as if a nuclear bomb was dropped inside his body."

Under the "dark clouds and lightning," the senior engineer turned around, his eyes gradually freezing, eventually turning him into a super ice man.

S-rank talent 'Flesh and Blood Carpet' + S-rank talent 'Flesh and Blood Fusion'

The engineer created an ultra-miniature nuclear winter.

The next moment, the percentage of each of the major human body systems that were under control began to drop rapidly.

"Careful!"

Chapai exclaimed in surprise, realizing something was wrong first. He rolled his eyes, abandoned his physical body, and created a peculiar illusion opposite it.

This is his superpower – virtual thinking, the ability to think without relying on any material existence.

Often, he would enter this state first, and then connect to the virtual machine, so that he could enjoy himself without worrying about kidney deficiency.

But the other two don't have that ability.

Tong was immediately restrained and unable to move.

With a roar, the collider burst open, its clothes ripped open, and the muscles formed from memory metal began to writhe rapidly. They even glowed and heated up due to friction, generating a powerful airflow. This was its trump card – the Berserker form.

In this form, all his attributes will increase exponentially, and any damage will be healed by the memory metal, resulting in an absolutely damage-free power spike.

It can even explode once, twice, three times, or four times.

Every breakthrough is a comprehensive improvement.

That's why he's known as the second best in Ghost in the Shell.

However, under the influence of nanomolecules, the steel muscle slowed down more and more until it finally got stuck, with only heat constantly escaping from its body, giving off a burnt smell.

"We've controlled everything we can; it's time for them to show themselves."

The senior engineer said calmly, then suddenly exhaled a breath of cold air. The next moment, the Greatsword of the Machine Crack was covered with a layer of ice, freezing the nanoparticles that had penetrated into it.

This image, is it Frost's Mourning? No, it's Machine's Mourning!

The machine is also known as the machine's sorrow, and the name is truly fitting.

"If you don't come soon, I'm leaving."

"Do you think you can leave?" a cold voice rang out.

What do you think?

The senior engineer gripped the sword with both hands and thrust it downwards, instantly freezing the entire stealth aircraft.

The carbon atom reactor, which had finally managed to absorb enough energy from the radiation field, used up half of it in an instant.

At the same time, a terrifying aura began to develop around the senior engineer.

Even in the state of perfect balance, I've never used any cheat codes!
