Bionic Human Physiology

The fickleness of fate is perhaps the best description of the "weaving machine of destiny".

Conversely, if fate smiles upon you, you too can accomplish something called a "miracle" by being pulled by the threads.

The senior engineer finally understood why Aramaki had become the summoned creature of the "Weaving Machine of Fate".

He must have made some special arrangements through the spinning wheel of fate.

Perhaps subduing "Number 6" is one of them.

The senior engineer then picked up the blue water sphere called "Ecological Membrane." To be honest, this thing looked rather "environmentally friendly," after all, it's a blue planet.

Then, the senior engineer fed it Honkai energy, and something incredible happened.

The water sphere turned directly into liquid and entered his body through his palm.

The rejection rate, which was originally 1 and 2 respectively, began to decline rapidly, dropping from five digits to four digits.

Mechanical rejection: 1200

Biological rejection; 1001

In an instant, the senior engineer's body felt as if it were soaking in a top-notch hot spring. All the fatigue, damage, and hidden injuries in his body were repaired, and the mutual repulsion between the two human systems was also greatly relieved. Now, he felt like he had been reborn, with his blood and spirit feeling warm and cozy.

The senior engineer's eyes lit up. "Number 6" actually has this benefit. This is not an "ecological membrane" at all, but a "sauna membrane". Its effect is comparable to a big sword.

"How could such a serious old man like Aramaki choose such an unconventional Collapse Entity? Is this old guy a repressed pervert?"

"Mr. G, I need to remind you that three days have passed since your appointment with Captain Motoko," Ms. Shell said.

The senior engineer grunted in response.

"Then help me ask for three more days off. Just say I have a disease that prevents me from working and I need to recuperate for three days, no, four days."

"Excuse me, can I say you have a metabolic disorder?" Miss Shell's voice, devoid of any emotion, carried an inexplicable hint of sarcasm.

"Okay, just say that my reproductive system has been modified and that I'm having my period."

The senior engineer picked up another gold thread, determined to figure out exactly how this "textile machine" worked.

After looking at the lives of about forty people, the senior engineer suddenly let out a soft "hmm" and sat up.

"This is--"

This gold thread is thicker than the others, indicating that the owner of this gold thread is luckier than anyone else. Of course, luck is also a kind of strength.

There was a small coincidence: the owner of this golden thread was named Yi Yun.

That's right, it's the same person as the bionic physiologist who lives across from the high school.

After a moment's thought, the senior engineer called over the android butler who was included as a gift with the purchase of the house.

"I remember, the neighbors across the street invited me over, didn't they?"

"Yes, but you refused, so I declined, citing that you had just moved and had a lot of things to do."

"Oh, then reply to them now and say that I've settled the move and am free now. If they're free too, I'd like to visit them tonight."

"Yes, I will do as you say."

"Oh, right," the senior engineer called out to the android butler, "I forgot to ask, what kind of gifts do you androids like?"

The butler was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gao Gong to ask such a question. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"If it were a Type F android like me, working in a service industry, I might prefer living beings."

"Learn."

A moment later, the housekeeper brought back a reply, welcoming the new neighbors to visit that evening.

The nights on the other side of freedom are not like the neon lights of a city that never sleeps. Instead, they are more like the nights of an ordinary city, with some rooms lit up, some streetlights, some friends calling out to each other, and some seemingly respectable gathering places.

This is also why many high-end individuals like to settle here. Although it is known as the most unrestrained and uninhibited place on the planet, it is also the most livable place as long as you do not actively come into contact with certain circles.

This is similar to how the word "madness" is based on normalcy. If most people were insane, then madness would lose some of its original meaning.

Yi Yun has the face of an oriental man; he is humble, kind, and always wears a faint smile.

Although androids are born with a face, they can "shape" their own faces as they evolve, which is equivalent to their secondary development.

This Mr. Yi is very well-developed, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to marry such a beautiful wife.

Faced with the senior engineer's praise, Yi Yun remained humble and said warmly, "I have to thank my wife. When we were dating, she wasn't a prostitute yet. If she hadn't mustered up the courage to take that final step, I'm afraid we would have had a really hard time being together."

A blush crossed Yi Yun's wife's face. She patted his shoulder and said, "We've been married for so long, why are you talking about this? Mr. Gao, please come in. I cooked some fresh vegetables for you. They were just shipped from outer space. My father even brought them over himself. It wasn't easy for him."

"His father used to be the governor of a colony," Yi Yun paused, then casually added, "I wonder what you do, Mr. Gao, and why isn't your friend here?"

"You mean Fatty Xiang? He's a martial arts fanatic, and lately he's been obsessed with training in that 'Virtual Building One'," the senior engineer paused, "As for us, we all work in the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Department. As for our job duties, I can't reveal them."

Yi Yun looked enlightened, smiled slightly, and became even more enthusiastic.

Anyone who can work in the Sixth Department, regardless of their position, wields immense power; it's always a good idea to cultivate a good relationship with them.

The senior engineer entered the room and looked around. It was a very homey room with flowers and plants, hand-carved handicrafts, and some invention certificates.

"Oh, by the way, I've prepared a gift for you."

The senior engineer took out a prepared box, opened it, and immediately, a graceful cat with snow-white fur and eyes like emeralds walked out.

"The F-grade radioactive beast, the Emerald Cat, is elegant in appearance and gentle in nature, making it one of the most suitable radioactive beasts for keeping as pets. Most importantly, the radioactive energy in its body does not leak out but is all concentrated in its eyes. You can see the purpose of doing so."

Yi Yun noticed that the moment he made eye contact with the cat, he felt a strange sensation—closeness, warmth, and softness. When he gently stroked the cat's back, the proud cat let out a baby-like meow, then rubbed against his trouser leg and lay down.

"Oh my, is that a kitten? It's so cute!"

As soon as Mrs. Yi came out of the kitchen and saw the cat, she couldn't take her eyes off it. She quickly picked it up and patted and rubbed it, looking like she liked it very much.

"Do you like it? If not, give it back and I'll get you a bottle of wine from the Civilization Era," the senior engineer said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I have no choice," Yi Yun said with a smile, looking at his wife and then at the jade cat. "It's a very nice gift. Thank you, Mr. Gao."

Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Yi Yun was very talkative, especially about the various changes in the android world, which he spoke eloquently about. Mrs. Yi was even more lively, holding the jade cat tightly and refusing to let go.

After the meal, Yi Yun invited the senior engineer to sit in his laboratory on the third floor.

The laboratory contains various bionic human parts, as well as bottles and jars, many of which are covered with cloth.

What are Mr. Gao's views on androids?

As Yi Yun removed his arm, he casually asked a question.

The senior engineer looked around at the experimental tools with great interest and said:

"A very outstanding acquired race, with an exceptionally strong talent for bionics. Their learning ability surpasses that of natural humans and is more human-like than AI. I quite like them."

"A very official answer," Yi Yun said with a smile.

"Oh? Mr. Yi doesn't think so?" the senior engineer asked in surprise.

"From a strictly ruthless utilitarian perspective, we have already surpassed a large part of humanity in terms of evolution, although we are the relatively inferior part."

"How so?" the senior engineer asked, intrigued.

"All of our parts are replaceable, which makes us superior to disabled people. Our work ability is outstanding, which makes us surpass some office tools. We can simulate the so-called shame and blushing response of humans to moral shock through the conductivity of the skin and artificial manipulation of the dilation of capillaries. Therefore, we, especially female androids, are very good at pleasing others. We have nothing to hate, at least not innately. This means that we are the best life partners, lovers, and friends."

"Isn't this a good thing?" the senior engineer said sincerely. "I often feel ashamed and indignant because of the humiliation of being forced to crawl between someone's legs, and I often dream about that scene."

Yi Yun did not answer directly, but said, "But some people say that we are machines, produced on an assembly line like bottle caps. As for the personalized existence of androids, it is just an illusion, just a representation of a model."

What is Mr. Gao's opinion on this?

Yi Yun adjusted his arm, turned around, and looked seriously at the senior engineer.

"I don't really care. Whether it's a naturally occurring race or an acquired race, in the face of evolution, they are just a form of life. From the perspective of civilization, intelligent species must move towards a higher level of life. In my opinion, past life forms are not that important."

"A very macro-level idea," Yi Yun said, glancing at the senior engineer with some surprise. The engineer's calm attitude surprised him. Among the people he dealt with, there were generally two attitudes when talking about androids: either extreme praise or subtle denigration. But he had never seen anyone as calm as the senior engineer before.

If the senior engineer knew what the other party was thinking, he would definitely sneer.

This either-or view of species is basically confined to the planetary level. Once we enter interstellar society, discussions about the merits and demerits of these life forms are quickly drowned out by the diverse array of intelligent species.

In the universe, there are countless species, and the pace of evolution is incredible. There are even intelligent races without heads that coexist with races that only have brains, and races with bodies that merge with species without bodies.

From the perspective of cosmology, this idea should be called the "adolescent pattern of planetary species".

Even if we disregard the fact that the senior engineer is an experienced person, as a player himself, he never took it seriously.

What could be more important than leveling up and defeating monsters?

Of course, this seems to be a very important issue for Yi Yun.

"I am neither a radical nor a machineist. I am a physiologist, and my research focuses on enabling androids to enter a true life form on a physiological level!"

"Then what is a true life form? It can't be a natural human being, can it?" The senior engineer shrugged. "These days, a natural human being without implanted prosthetics is probably as rare as an animal in civilized times."

"This is also an important topic of discussion in my research: what exactly constitutes true 'bionic human physiology'?"

"I found my direction not long ago."

Yi Yun lifted the curtain of a glass cabinet, inside which were swarms of maggots.
