Blue Water Technology's Past and Present
As we all know, the reason why carbon-based species have become one of the dominant species in the universe after entering the interstellar age is because of "carbon-based fusion". With this bug-like ability, they continuously absorb the talents of other species. Therefore, in the universe, carbon-based species are also known as gay species because they are gay in all kinds of ways.
But based on this alone, carbon-based species could at most become a super-fighting race in the universe, similar to a certain Saiyan, rather than a civilization.
Ultimately, civilization is defined by its advancement in technology.
Therefore, bio-computer technology is the core of carbon-based civilization.
First-order biological computers, second-order large-scale biological computers, and third-order species computers—each has a more terrifying computing power than the last. Even the lowest-level biological computer is no less powerful than a regular supercomputer.
In advanced biological civilizations, every member of the civilization is a supercomputer.
In his previous life, as an information master, he not only hacked into the computer system of a carbon-based civilization, but was also very familiar with the change from 'biosignals' to 'digital signals'.
Strictly speaking, "cyberspace" cannot be considered a standard feature of biological civilization.
Mechanical civilizations can have "cyberspace".
Energy civilizations can also have "cyberspace".
Biological computers, however, are absolutely exclusive to "biological civilizations".
This surprised and delighted the senior engineer.
Because he had wanted to "install a computer" for himself for a long time.
Such a strong physique is like high-performance hardware; it would be unreasonable not to assemble a computer with it.
The nervous system can be used as a CPU, the endocrine system as memory, the musculoskeletal system as a motherboard, the musculoskeletal system as a CD player, the digestive system as a power supply... and the urinary system can be used as a water cooling radiator.
Perfect!
Unfortunately, senior engineers don't possess this skill.
Just as a programmer may not be able to fix a computer, a senior engineer really can't assemble a computer.
"Tsk tsk, that makes things easier."
The senior engineer chuckled strangely. Although he didn't know how to install computers, he knew how to hack into operating systems.
Dealing with an S-class Beast King is usually a rather troublesome matter.
But now, watch me grind monsters at full health!
The next moment, the virtual world reversed, and torrential rain rushed up from below. After being washed by the rain, the engineer's body surface transformed into countless electronic codes, rising against the current.
Editing oneself into bioelectric currents and drilling into a "biological computer" is a unique hacking method of "biological computers".
To be honest, this feeling is a bit unpleasant.
The senior engineer felt as if he had crawled into a mudfish nest, surrounded by "giant mudfish"—sticky, crowded, and wet.
The "Uncensored Ones" have been activated.
Uncensored: You will see through the barriers of code with your naked eye and glimpse the truth of the world.
The "loaches" have disappeared, replaced by a large number of "electronic leeches".
Eye enhancement -
The "electronic leeches" disappeared once again, transforming into "Dementors," which swarmed everywhere.
This is a unique firewall for the "Bio Calculator," also known as the Bio Defense Wall.
Seemingly sensing something amiss, the three Dementors suddenly surrounded Gandalf the Grey.
Bro, your skin doesn't look quite right.
This Gandalf is Gao.
Inside the hood, the senior engineer slowly raised his face, his pupils instantly transforming into "Snake Mode".
Snake God Eyes!
As bioelectric life forms, these "electronic leeches" have virtually no nervous system, and a dark and terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the three of them.
In the eyes of the three electronic leeches, a huge, pale face appeared, its mouth slowly opening to suck them in.
[You killed the 'Electronic Leech', 5000 experience points]
[You killed the 'Electronic Leech', 5000 experience points]
[You killed the 'Electronic Leech', 5000 experience points]
"This trick really works well for killing monsters!"
The special life form that took more than ten minutes to take down using normal hacking methods was instantly killed by this move!
The senior engineer glanced around with some covetousness, and soon, his experience bar had increased by 500,000.
One hundred "electronic leeches" died tragically under the killer gaze of the senior engineer.
"We can't kill any more. Even with a firewall, losing too many will arouse suspicion."
Generally speaking, biological computers have three layers of defense.
The first layer is the "biological barrier" generated by "bioelectricity," which is equivalent to a firewall.
The second layer consists of "antiviral guardians" formed from bactericidal substances and phagocytes, with effects equivalent to "cyber killers." With the bloodline strength of an S-class beast king, it might even be able to create one or two of the highest-level "cloud-wing killers."
Bio-cloud storage is also one of the essential technologies for bio-computers.
The third layer consists of localized defenses, or even traps, of various systems.
For example, some organisms that don't have a respiratory system will install a fake one, storing special information there to lure hackers.
Once the hacker takes the bait, they'll crash the system, cut off your internet connection, and destroy your consciousness.
Conversely, some unscrupulous hackers will directly invade the "reproductive system," leaving behind code seeds that cause certain species to become pregnant out of wedlock.
They could even directly modify the other party's system, changing their XP version.
The senior engineer absolutely denies that he did such a thing.
Just like how anime artists would never admit to drawing doujinshi.
With the help of "Snake God Eye", the senior engineer successfully passed through layers of "firewalls" and entered the system.
In a normal computer system, there would be countless lines of code.
In the case of cybernetic networks, these are various data illusions generated by the transformation of simulated signals.
Biological computers are different; they reflect a kind of "simulated evolution".
In order to better catch insects, birds' beaks must have evolved to be sharp and long, because birds that did not evolve would starve to death.
The giraffe's neck, the tortoise's shell, and the tiger's claws and teeth are all products of evolution.
Once the evolved organs adapt to survival, this evolution will stagnate.
Just like a struggling writer who gives up and stops updating frequently, they will likely stop producing new content.
What should you do then? You should drag him into a dark room, put black stockings on him, whip him, ravage him, kick him in the groin, and not feed him unless he writes.
At that moment, he will rise up.
The internal system of a biological computer is such an "evolutionary system".
The first thing an intruder must face is this kind of "self-evolution".
The eyes, ears, mouth, and nose—that is, sight, hearing, taste, and smell—were the first to be sealed off.
Then, the senior engineer clearly felt that his consciousness began to split rapidly.
As a master of "imagination," he immediately imagined that his arm was like the branches of a tree, with hundreds of "branches" growing out, and then the "branches" growing more "branches," each branch being an arm.
The head is the same, like the Buddha's 'fleshy protuberance', where dozens of 'bumps' suddenly bulge out, and then facial features grow from the 'fleshy protuberances', turning into human heads. Then, 'fleshy protuberances' grow from the human heads, and each 'fleshy protuberance' splits into dozens of human heads, like a human pyramid.
"So eager to self-replicate, huh? No wonder it's a biological computer."
"To separate evolution from the world of life and exist it in a purely mathematical form—that's quite a feat!"
With a thought, the senior engineer created a thin membrane that covered everyone's heads, arms, and thighs, accompanied by thunderous digestive sounds.
S-Rank Talent: Flesh Fusion
Within a few breaths, the newly grown parts were completely digested, and then the engineer's feet suddenly gave way, and he fell into a "recycling bin".
It was more like an oversized stomach than a recycling center, because the senior engineer saw huge stomach walls, gastric mucus, and... the heads of countless mixed-race marine people.
Countless eyes were fixed on him.
"Putting your computer's recycle bin in your digestive system is standard practice, but I personally don't recommend it."
"Because a seasoned veteran—no, a seasoned hacker—can easily uncover your secrets with a simple 'data recovery' technique."
"Biological traces are permanently imprinted on the source code."
Suddenly, a ball of data flame appeared in the senior engineer's palm. The flame was blue and, although it was fire code, it was not domineering. Instead, it had a feeling of "the highest good is like water".
With a gentle flip of his hand, the blue flames, like wisps of blue light, penetrated the stomach wall and merged into the digestive system.
[You are currently restoring data, progress 1%, 2%, 3%...]
One advantage of biological computers is that, as 'computers', they have their own 'signal system' and 'excellent network speed'.
Soon, the data in the 'Recycle Bin' was restored to 100%.
The next moment, the stomach wall disappeared, replaced by countless deleted data.
On the surface of gastric juice, various obsolete codes churn within.
"Let me see, it's like this—"
As the code flashed in the senior engineer's eyes, he gradually revealed an expression of sudden realization.
The recycle bin contains not only a large amount of discarded data about "biological computers," but also internal data from the First Mechanical War.
Unexpected yet perfectly logical.
The first mechanical war was between the Machine Rift Star Civilization and the "Star Pirate Group".
The so-called "space pirate group" is actually an interstellar army composed of space pirates, mercenaries, and gene traffickers.
Faced with this unprecedented crisis, the nations of the planet Jili began to unite as never before, organizing a coalition to launch a counterattack.
An ascended civilization can only be defeated by another ascended civilization.
However, civilizations at level 3 or below (including level 3) are likely to be defeated by a dimensional reduction attack.
For example, some super space soldiers who can withstand nuclear bombs are indeed difficult for lower-level civilizations to deal with.
Therefore, while at a disadvantage in the war, the humans of the planet Jilix sent out appeals to the universe for help, hoping that other civilizations would intervene, while simultaneously carrying out the final plan of the Fire Seed.
The Fire Seed Project involves building a super space station capable of housing the gene bank and seed bank of the Machine Rift Star, and then, at the last moment, exiling it out as the final spark to wander the universe.
And this "super space station" is the "city in the clouds".
'...'
Upon reading this, the senior engineer was uncharacteristically speechless for a moment.
Then, the plan was not implemented, not because the human alliance was wiped out, but because the universe responded.
The advanced civilization that responded to the Machine Rift Star was none other than the controller of the Mother City, the Ancient Machine Civilization.
In other words, during the first mechanical war, the mother city and the great power of the machine-splittered star were in an alliance.
Hmm—
It wasn't entirely unexpected, though.
Bluewater Technology is a company within the alliance, and its research focuses on 'clones'.
During the war, it was requisitioned by the Star Alliance to produce clone cannon fodder.
During this period, the mother city taught it several advanced biotechnologies, enabling it to better mass-produce cloned bodies.
After the war, Bluewater Technology returned to its old business. Due to technological upgrades and inspiration drawn from the interstellar prisoners, it decided to research an even more impressive direction—"mutant research".
"Ocean Man" is one of the sub-projects of "Mutant Man".
Then came the Second Mechanical War, which marked the break between human civilization and the Mother City.
It is worth mentioning that after Bluewater Technology was destroyed during World War II, the surviving researchers established a new organization to continue their research in the field of biology.
And that organization—is the Biological Mutation Society.
It feels like we've gone in a big circle and come right back.
So, could this technology of "biological computers" attract the research giants of the "Biological Mutation Society"?
A fully-level biologist is a treasure trove for any faction.
The thought flashed through my mind.
As for the sea god "Kermos", the senior engineer also figured out his background.
It is actually a kind of deep-sea worm, which was born after digesting all the experimental subjects of the first generation of marine humans.
The deal between the Knights and this person was to take it a step further, upgrading it from A-rank to S-rank.
Conversely, "Kermos" would join the Knights and become the "Standard Bearer".
There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy.
Because all standard-bearers are embodiments of 'war'.
As a worm, the "Kermos" has only three systems: a digestive system, a circulatory system, and a partially developed nervous system.
In a normal person, the nervous system is only about 10% complete.
The reason why the "biological computer" is so attractive to it is that once successfully installed, its nervous system will evolve to 500%.
This is an irresistible condition.
The senior engineer probably understood why "Kermos" was willing to negotiate with a tiger for its skin.
Of course, this insect itself isn't exactly a good thing either.
According to its plan, all the mixed-race marines will become its 'system program'.
"If there are only three systems, you're doomed."
Biological computers are easier to hack the fewer systems they have.
Watch as Mr. G, with full health, clears S-rank!
As the senior engineer was thinking this, the code layer on the stomach wall disappeared in the next instant, replaced by countless worm phantoms.
The gastric juices beneath him churned and surged, the billowing heat like sulfuric acid, causing the code on the surface of the engineer's body to flash continuously.
Uh, we've been found out!
"How did you discover that?" the senior engineer asked with great interest.
"By your human standards, there is a hidden connection between S-class radiation beasts, a connection that only the original body can sense."
No wonder, I only had bloodline implanted.
An S-level talent doesn't truly represent the person.
Perhaps only after the high-tech organism's modification rate reaches 125%, which is the limit of the third transformation, can one fully master the S-level bloodline.
But it doesn't matter if I get caught.
I'll rip you off!
However, Kermos did something that even the senior engineer didn't expect.
It simultaneously opened up three human systems to itself.
