Mechanical Modification Laboratory.
Compared to the original team of fewer than ten people, the laboratory had undergone several expansions. The team had now reached an unprecedented 1,208 members.
At this moment, Mo Yu lay on the operating table.
Quietly waiting for the brain mechanization modification to begin.
Over the years, the Star City Highest Council had given the mechanization modification project its greatest support.
Part of it came from Feng Qi's help, and part from Mo Yu's own efforts.
A few years ago, the project had also faced opposition from some members of the Star City Highest Council.
At the time, he had been invited to the Highest Council, where he was asked this question during the meeting:
"Reaching limb mechanization is enough. Why must the mechanization modification project continue? If brain information is uploaded into a chip, and the chip replaces the brain from then on, are you still human, or a mechanical lifeform?"
Faced with the sharp question, Mo Yu remained silent for a long time.
In the end, he gave his answer.
That answer convinced the Highest Council members who had opposed him.
This was what he said:
"I believe the key factors defining a person are consciousness and memory, not the body. In essence, mechanization modification is the same as cultivation. Cultivation transforms our lives in a gentler way, evolving us toward greater perfection. When people from a thousand or ten thousand years in the future stand before us, we may find that even if they resemble us in appearance, the insides of their bodies have long become completely different. Can you deny that cultivators ten thousand years from now are human?"
"Compared to cultivation's evolution, mechanization modification is undoubtedly more radical. For that reason, mechanization modification does not conform to humanity's ideal method of evolution
