Chapter 4: Running for Life (Part 1)
In a sense, the original owner was not wrong.
There are as many civilizations as stars in the universe, and nearly half of them are mechanical civilizations. Three of the top six ninth-level civilizations belong to the mechanical system.
In addition to the power of mechanical civilization itself, mechanical ascension is also the easiest to be triggered compared to the other three methods of ascension.
However, the most is not necessarily the strongest.
The senior engineer glanced at his personal system in his property panel and breathed a sigh of relief.
Motor system 9%
Nervous system 5%
Endocrine system 1%
Circulatory system 5%
Respiratory system 1%
Digestive system 1%
Urinary system 1%
Reproductive system 1%
The highest and lowest transformation rates of each of the eight major systems The difference does not exceed 10%.
It means there is still a chance!
Human body modification is irreversible. If it exceeds 10%, it can only take the purely mechanical route envisioned by the original owner. If it does not exceed 10%, it can still be saved.
As far as he knows, the most powerful civilization in the observable universe is indeed a mechanical civilization, but it is not just a mechanical civilization.
Returning to the pre-open beta stage of "Cyber World", the mechanical uprising has not yet begun, the world of infinitely powerful people has not yet appeared, the destruction of the past, the ancient corpse disaster, and the quantum crisis are far away in the middle and late stages of the game. And there is no sign of the three major natural disasters that make people extremely desperate at this moment.
Such a good opportunity only comes once.
Only the strongest can control their own destiny.
As the power begins to flow, a numbing feeling spreads throughout the body. Under the adjustment of the access device, the current intensity is controlled within the range that the human body can accept.
In the modified circulatory system, cells will conduct impulses due to stimulation, pierce cell membranes, generate potential differences, and stimulate bioelectric currents, thus improving his mental state.
The essence of physical body mechanization is to gradually replace the life operation in the human body system with a bionic system through continuous human body transformation.
As the transformation rate increases, the physical body can secrete a day's worth of nutrients as long as a certain amount of electricity is charged every day.
What a miracle!
It is said that some biological companies in the "Sleepless City" have developed human body flash charging technology - charging for five minutes, you will be energetic all day long. Human body circulation technology, you deserve it.
However, only purebred robots with a transformation rate of 100% can completely get rid of the consumption of food and water; Gao Gong's charging is more to stimulate his own mental state, so that he will not return to power. He passed out while walking in the city.
In this dangerous iron-sand desert, threats from natives, deformed species, and semi-mechanical creatures are everywhere. There is no difference between being comatose and waiting for death.
However, the person on the other end of the intercom did not look angry. Instead, he said with interest:
"You alone can destroy my entire knight squad. Yes, very good. Are you interested in joining our knights? I can give you a higher level of transformation, allowing you to cross the threshold of artificial soldiers and directly become one of our knights. "Combatant."
"How high can a higher level transformation be? Is it higher than you?"
"Compared with me? My status is probably higher than yours." Imagine," the person on the other side laughed.
“To be honest, my imagination is definitely beyond your imagination.”
The senior engineer climbed onto the hood of the off-road vehicle and squinted into the distance. His tight-fitting T-shirt was almost in ruins. He had already torn it off, revealing his muscular upper body, with three thumb-thick cables inserted into his body. The hot wind unique to the desert blew against his face, and the iron plate around his neck made a clanking sound, revealing a 'G' with a rough pattern. 'Character.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant. The world is much bigger than you think!" The other party finally showed an impatient tone.
The senior engineer smiled, flicked it, popped out the last cigarette, threw the cigarette case out of the car, jumped into the car, and stepped on the accelerator.
"Since the world is so big, how can we just be a slave to artificial intelligence."
"What do you think, former military AI, war!"
Iron Sand The desert was originally a city cluster in the old civilization. In a certain mechanical war, it was first plowed by nuclear explosions, and then swept by some large energy weapons. Looking around, there were only ruins and wreckage.
The sky is thick and dull nuclear dust. Under the dual effects of nuclear pollution and energy pollution, the remaining plants and animals have produced some kind of distortion. This distortion causes their bodies to emit large amounts of radiant heat.
Elsewhere, nuclear winter will cause soot material to be injected into the planet's atmosphere, blocking light from entering the surface, causing temperatures to drop sharply, causing everything to be depressed and no grass to grow.
But here, a large number of radiation organisms and aberrant plants combined to form a unique post-disaster environment. Instead of falling, the temperature rose crazily. Let alone ordinary people, even mechanically modified people It is difficult to survive in the radiation zone of this desert.
The areas that can survive are areas that have been transformed by companies, and local people call them oasis.
The off-road vehicle increased its horsepower and brought up the wind and sand in the sky. Its goal was one of the oasis.
In the car, the senior engineer observed the surrounding environment while studying the NPC template he had stolen.
Gao Gong didn't take it seriously when it came to the recruitment of the senior knights.
Although on this planet, the Knights are also a powerful underground force, and meat technology is the target of countless companies vying to imitate; there were also players who showed off the hidden missions of the Knights in the forum. Chain, the rewards are indeed generous.
In the later stages of the main storyline of this planet, there were not no players who got to the end, spending countless energy building reputation and gaining favor, and eventually became high-level members of the Knights.
Then he fell into the pit.
All the knights of the Knights will be transformed into children, or clones, of that military artificial intelligence.
Although the knight can retain his own personality template and memory bank, once the 'war' requires it, he will directly control the consciousness of all high-level people - including the player's account. It's like giving NPC account training for free.
Just looking like this is worse than a monopoly in the city that never sleeps.
Although those large companies will also use various means to control their employees, including but not limited to making employees' thoughts into read-only mode and storing them in the company database, or providing free medical treatment to employees during overtime. Inject artificial epinephrine, or directly implant high-frequency chips in the access chamber, and release high-intensity electronic noise during vacation - but at least it pays.
Compared with the Knights, big companies are actually decent people.
Although these wages pass through one, two, and three hands, they will eventually return to the pockets of large companies.
“Tsk, tsk, cyber experimental site. Since it is an experimental site, it is natural to have experimental materials. Human beings are the best consumables after the war.”
Not only the Mecha Star, but also all The player's initial location and the novice village are all types of cyber experimental sites.
The definition of the Cyber Experimental Field is the exploration, research, and development of different types of civilization ecologies by advanced civilizations, as well as the technology trees under this social ecology.
It can be a super enterprise monopolizing everything, or artificial intelligence controlling the future, or a strong invasion of alien species, a doomsday-like living environment, or even cloning culture, biohazard, and chaos between intelligent races on different planets. Lying down.
In the gray area of the Civilization Parliament, various civilization technology trees are taking root and sprouting in an anti-civilization way.
As the players will summarize in the future -
In this game, there are two problems that will hinder the development of science and technology. One is peace and the other is ethics. Peace is solved by war, and ethics is solved here. .
This is the Cyber Experimental Site.
But for players, this is not a bad thing.
Because there are a large number of experimental and taboo advanced technologies here, players can rely on these technologies to achieve cross-civilization strength improvement.
Planet-level civilizations are all first-level civilizations. Under this civilization scale, the upper limit of the main profession is level 30, which is the first level; but in the Cyber Experimental Field, it is possible to achieve the second level. , and even third-level scientific research knowledge and experimental results.
“It’s here indeed!”
Gao Gong suddenly looked up and saw three small black dots approaching him in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
‘The Knights’ drone! ’
As early as when Gao Gong took action, he knew that with the ruthless style of the Knights, it was impossible to let it go so easily.
Also more intuitively, on the game panel, the mission [Death Rush] is in [Uncompleted] status.
‘Di Di Di——’

Remarks: Although it is military technology from the old era, it has experienced many actual battles and is still practical
In the game "Cyber World", equipment is divided into whiteboard (assembly line products), excellent (customized templates), excellent (war weapons), rare (strategic weapons), epic (black technology), and epoch-making (cross-civilization). .
Among them, the whiteboard is the most common weapon and equipment. If it is sophisticated, it is equivalent to a camp specialty, and the old-era military technology of the Knights undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Gao Gong turned the steering wheel fiercely, and the next moment, a ferocious fire bullet whipped up a large amount of smoke and dust, almost sweeping into the rear compartment.
At the same time, Gao Gong heard a subtle 'whoosh' sound in his ears, and then a strong explosion followed by mud waves rolled towards the roof of the car, almost instantly smearing the windows yellow.
After chasing and escaping, the scene outside the car changes dizzyingly.
The senior engineer almost turned the steering wheel into a twist, the windshield wipers made a squeaking sound, and he stepped on the accelerator pedal frequently with the soles of his feet, changing the rhythm and disrupting the drone's tracking system.
If it is the most advanced model of drone in the city that never sleeps, it must be equipped with tracking weapons and fixed-point strike systems. This is a powerful weapon against the super reformers and cyber psychopaths in the city.
If it is more violent, the electronic signal will directly connect to the "armed space station" in the orbit of the planet to carry out large-scale physical cleaning, the so-called "justice from heaven".
If it were an attack of this level, Gao Gong could definitely be easily dealt with.
But if this is the case, the difficulty of this mission will not be just 'normal'. After all, above normal, there are also difficulties, nightmares, hells, and even cross-civilization level missions.
In fact, the firepower intensity of the three drones has exceeded the 'normal' level to some extent.
An increase in difficulty on the one hand will inevitably lead to a decrease in difficulty on the other.
Gao Gong knew why. In fact, after the first wave of blows hit him without any particular luck, he knew that he was safe.
The car turned around, the engine roared, and the off-road vehicle crashed into the concrete forest.
