Radiant Life Codex Tree
Through the connection between flesh and blood, the senior engineer could sense that there was a placenta-like thing in the abdomen of these "pseudo-Black Emperors," which was where the mecha bay was located.
If a person enters it, they will transform into a special life form and merge into this "flesh-and-blood mech".
Besides the meat-making technology, the senior engineer also sensed the technology of the "Sacred Tree".
It is an S-class radioactive beast, the king of deep-sea leeches, which is also a genetic modification technology mastered by the ancient large-scale biological computer Kermos.
All the technology was absorbed by the ship girl "Du Zhaodi" and integrated into the strange "industrial system" of Dugo Technologies, and then mass-produced.
The onlookers, including not only Dugo Technologies's group of acquaintances but also the group of senior executives and members of the Research Association, all showed expressions of astonishment.
They had never seen a Pioneer mech before, which was comparable to an A-class mechanical bio-beast.
They had never seen a mech that was comparable to a Cybertronian machine before.
These two "weapons of mass destruction" were not even used in the classic battle against the Eternal Life Conglomerate, where they turned the tide against all odds.
Du Zhaodi wanted to use the senior engineer to sharpen the knives of her own faction's subordinates, and the senior engineer also wanted to sharpen the knives, but what he was sharpening was the character of the Research Association members.
If we don't break down their bottom line, why force them to adopt "brain-computer interfaces"?
The young woman's voice came through the communicator.
"Hey, little wolfhound, haven't we done our act? Shouldn't you leave?"
Aside from the instinctive urge to beat up their boss, most of Dugo Technologies's top executives knew that this was just an act to showcase their company's powerful military strength.
As for whether to use a virtual reality headset or a bio-computer interface, Du and Gao had already reached a consensus with the higher-ups from the very beginning.
It has nothing to do with the 'memory matrix'.
Helping the Holy Brain Group become a winner in the Electronic Brain Project is a win.
To make the Holy Brain Group a winner, while simultaneously becoming the "infrastructure contractor" for the Electronic Brain Project, is to win twice.
Anyone with a normal sense knows how to choose.
The senior engineer replied to messages while "fiercely" working on the task.
"Do you guys have any more big moves? Let's use one more ultimate skill, then we'll be done. It feels a bit anticlimactic."
"We have a powerful move, yes, but the question is, Master, can you withstand it? This move is exceptionally powerful! Huang Yuanli needs to use the power of the 'Brain in a Vat' to unleash it, which is quite dangerous," Hery replied.
"It's alright, at worst I'll just run away. If I can't beat them, I can at least run. But such a powerful move, how come I've never heard of it before?"
After careful recollection, the senior engineer confirmed that he had not acquired any Tier 3 super technology or Tier 4 black technology during this period.
"This is only a theoretical possibility. Do you remember the second-tier architectural blueprints you stole from the Tianping Technology branch about six months ago?"
The senior engineer opened the "faction panel".
Sure enough, the previous "Bio-Architecture - Bio-Information Synthesizer" and "Bio-Architecture - Gene Space" all lit up.
Having blueprints doesn't guarantee you can build a "building"; there's still a long way to go.
Clearly, war is the best catalyst for technology. A corporate war can lead to rapid advancements not only in mechanical technology but also in biotechnology.
Although these two biological structures cannot be compared to "civilization-level buildings", they are both very distinctive.
The "Bioinformation Synthesizer" can synthesize biological cells, and even radiated beasts can be artificially synthesized.
The "Gene Space" is similar to a resurrection point, which can revive level 30 people, that is, living people below level one.
The combination of the two gave the senior engineer a strange sense of déjà vu.
"That thing, combined with the flesh-related technology currently under development, works exceptionally well. Are you sure you want to try it?"
"Come on, let's give it a try."
The senior engineer could probably guess that, in addition to the scientists from his own camp, this thing likely also involved the Brain in a Vat and Kermos.
He was really looking forward to it.
The ten "pseudo-Black Emperors" exchanged glances, stopped fighting almost simultaneously, and then sank into the sea.
Under the senior engineer's perception, the auras of these ten people mysteriously disappeared.
Then, in the next moment, the seawater began to bubble and fizz, and the bubbles spread rapidly outward from the rift.
From the perspective of a senior engineer, he sensed the auras of all kinds of radiated beasts, from the low-level F and E to the highest A and S levels, but there were a great many of them, probably hundreds of thousands.
"I have a strong feeling of being a 'brain in a vat'."
Only a brain in a vat could imprint so many radioactive beasts.
However, even the "Brain in a Vat" would explode on the spot after absorbing the power of so many radiated beasts at the same time. Therefore, it needs to be combined with the flesh-machine technology. No, not only that, but also the aura of the Sacred Tree!
The entire sea area was filled not only with bubbles, but also with bubbles containing a dense radiation field, and the seawater quickly turned black and red.
Then, the sea suddenly appeared with countless 'scars,' and fleshy vines shot out from the surface, each as thick as a basketball court. These 'vines' transformed into tree roots, twisting together to form a super-giant tree that blocked out the view. It was made of half plant and half flesh and blood, growing at a crazy speed. Branches that blotted out the sky sprouted from the tree trunk, which was tens of thousands of meters tall, and each branch bore abundant fruit. These fruits were the placentas of 'radioactive beasts.'
"Beep beep, beep beep—"
[The host has encountered a "highly dangerous life form"]
[The host has encountered a "highly dangerous life form"]
Name: The Tree of Life in the Radiation Atlas
Bloodline Level: SSS+
State:???
Note: When a certain force touches upon the power of 'fusion' but does not feel awe for this power, forbidden life ignites forbidden flames.
The senior engineer's mouth was agape, and his expression was quite distraught.
He didn't tell anyone about the "civilizational integration," not even the rich woman, because it concerned his "time travel."
However, he focuses on biotechnology and mecha technology within his own camp.
They also acquired the Knights' mechanical technology system.
In addition, there are a few monsters within their own ranks.
These coupling factors combined to create this unique coincidence.
"Huh, why is this fusion different from the last one?"
"Aaaaaah, I feel like I'm melting! Engineer, come save me!"
"Something's not right, something's not right!"
"My power is draining away—no, it's going berserk!"
The voices of the brain in the vat and Kermos were also among the cries for help.
"You guys are... geniuses!!"
Senior engineers take an integration approach, filling the "transformation rate" at each stage, and using all sorts of means to reduce the rejection rate.
Only then did I dare to continue.
These planetary natives were incredibly fierce; they closed their eyes and charged forward headfirst.
The senior engineer knew very well that if this fusion process wasn't interrupted in time, everyone, including the brain in the vat, would die here; SSS+, this thing had already broken through the upper limit of planetary civilization.
"Your technology for building this thing includes an 'AT field,' right?"
The senior engineer's mind raced, and he immediately came up with a way to break the deadlock.
He took out a metal ring and put it on.
In an instant, he felt a connection with all the mechs in his faction and gained control of them.
This thing works even better than 'Diwei'.
Name: Mechanical Ring (Faction Exclusive) (Leader's Device)
Category: Remote Control Device
Quality: Tier 2
Attributes: Intelligence +10, Perception +10
Note: Possesses supreme control over all models of intelligent mechs within the "Dugo Technologies" camp.
This is why the senior engineer is not worried about not being able to control Dugo Technologies.
Putting everything else aside, he also has a system.
Sure enough, among all the 'mech senses,' he detected the ten most powerful auras, which were entrenched at the tree roots.
Those were the previous ten "meat mechs".
The senior engineer looked up and saw that the SSS+ level tree's canopy had already touched the radiation clouds and was frantically absorbing the planet's radiation.
Using the connection of the 'Purple Energy String'.
He could sense that the magnetic field of the entire planet had begun to deflect.
"Holy crap, this is a huge mess!!"
Without saying a word, the senior engineer, using the supreme authority of the 'machine control ring,' issued the first order to the ten 'meat mechs.'
From the tree roots, which extend from the deep sea to the shallow sea, ten enormous humanoid figures are trying to break through the skin.
At the same time, the senior engineer closed his eyes, entered "biological computer mode," and quickly contacted Kermos.
The deep-sea leech was also sucked into a tree root and was in a semi-dissolved state, its biological system in complete chaos.
The senior engineer reinstalled the system on the other person while simultaneously awakening their consciousness.
Thankfully, the other party was conscious!
"Who are you--"
"Stop talking nonsense, Kermos, you and I will team up and disconnect the 'Brain in a Vat' from the internet right now!"
Kermos was still somewhat aware that the person in charge was the senior engineer, so he immediately handed over the system's operation to the senior engineer.
In his previous life, the senior engineer once again put his sixth-level virtual veteran driver skills to use.
"Yuanyuan, help me close the brain!"
"Okay, brother!"
Countless "Radiation Beast IPs" were banned by Gao Yuanyuan as soon as they appeared, and these "Radiation Beast IPs" were the surface neural structure of the brain in the vat.
Deep in the ocean, at the end of hundreds of tree roots, a giant bubble began to slowly disappear.
In this way, the senior engineer severed the connection between the brain in the vat and the 'SSS+ tree'.
The super-living tree that shocked the world came to an end before it could fully unfold its form, as ten large holes exploded from its roots.
Large quantities of radiated animal flesh fell like raindrops.
The giant tree itself visibly turned into ash and smoke, which dissipated with the wind.
The most distinctive feature of "fusion transformation" is its extreme instability.
This instability can bring immense power, but it can also be extremely dangerous and easily backfire.
However, it was precisely this instability that saved everyone's lives at that moment.
The strange tree that blotted out the sky came and went in a hurry, leaving everyone stunned.
Apart from the person involved, Gao.
Because Mr. Gao was no longer with us at that time.
The reason is simple: the supreme authority in 'cyberspace' directly transformed reality into virtuality, capturing him in a vast data space.
Three enormous shadows of data loomed over him.
The senior engineer's eye twitched slightly.
Even without using his brain, he could guess who these three people were.
Deep Web, Fortress, Cybertron.
Unexpected yet reasonable, this "planetary crisis" has occurred. If the mother city turns a blind eye, something would be amiss.
In fact, having three planetary mainframes installed on one planet is definitely not a normal phenomenon.
This serves two purposes—
One is to ensure the normal conduct of the "experiment".
The second is to prevent unexpected risks.
By conducting in-depth and meticulous data monitoring, we can nip any unexpected events that may arise during the experiment in the bud.
However, the senior engineer was not worried about his safety.
The reason is simple: he is already "Number Five," a part of that cosmic relic.
As long as I don't cross the red line, I'm safe in this cyber test site.
They might even be able to extort some benefits from it.
