Biopunk is a compound word spliced between "Biotech" and "Punk".
Within the framework of science fiction, biopunk focuses on biotechnology, focusing on the impact of biotechnology rather than information technology. and related to synthetic biology. It originates from cyberpunk involving biohackers, biotech giant corporations, and oppressive government agencies that manipulate human DNA. For the most part, biopunk maintains the same dark vibe as cyberpunk. And a strong cult temperament.
Just like the two major genres of cyberpunk, which favors future technology, and steampunk, which restarts ancient technology, arising from different levels of technology. Biopunk also has an opposing genre that is more "violent and sensory-stimulating" - Fleshpunk.
The background setting of flesh punk is often an era of underdeveloped technology, and it is often an apocalyptic disaster caused by a certain black technology. Amplify the power of flesh and blood to extremely and infinitely amplify the resistance, regeneration, deformation, proliferation, evolution and other abilities of individual organisms, organs, tissues or cells, so that every part of the organism, such as eyeballs, hair, and skin, can Survive independently of the whole and produce a swarm effect. With the black technology of magically modified creatures, limbs and organs can be attached and detached at will on flesh or mechanical bodies like building blocks. And biological parts and organs can be grown independently and coexist with machinery to a great extent. In addition, through certain technical means, dead flesh and blood can be resurrected, from a complete corpse to a monster made entirely of corpse parts. The flesh and blood body can release its own limitations and grow, extend, and expand infinitely. It can even be transformed into a flesh-and-blood building, a flesh-and-blood city, or even a flesh-and-blood planet.
Within the sci-fi spiral belt of Sanctuary's four-series spiral, different plot fragments are involved to varying degrees. Even in some classic science fiction plots, there are flashes of flesh and blood punk scenes. As mentioned before, in terms of "sensory stimulation", flesh punk far exceeds other classic genres.
As a big player in the shelter, Wu Chen obviously knows it very well.
"So, this is the true appearance of one-eighth of the competition areas: flesh and blood punk." Wu Houlin also thought about it: "According to this idea, the eight competition areas are all a type of punk. For example, biochemical punk, racing Cyberpunk, steampunk..."
"Yes, that's it. Choose eight types from the classic 'Eleven Types of Punk' and polish it into this competition ground." Wu Chen nodded lightly.
"Do you want to go straight to the female doctor's lair?" Catwoman Catra was eager to try.
"No, that's not how the competition works." Wu Chen smiled.
"Master?" Catwoman Catra still didn't understand.
"Eight players' outposts are transported to eight competition areas. Each competition area is a different sci-fi plot fragment. Is it very similar to some kind of RTS real-time strategy game that supports up to 8 people in online battles? "Wu Chen is indeed a big player.
"Ah, "Command and Conquer", "StarCraft", "Heroes of Might and Magic"." Catwoman Catra immediately thought of Wu Chen's favorite RTS real-time strategy game.
"So, "Outpost Competition" is an '8-player online battle' between players." Wu Chen put it bluntly: "What we have to do is to clean up this pile of rotting corpses and put down our first building unit'."
"What is it, my master?" Shadow Lady Beatrix, who had been silent all this time, was also very curious.
"When Scorpia is finished cleaning up, the "Skeleton King Brain" will give the answer. "Super artificial intelligence is Wu Chen's strength.
"Okay, my wise and mighty master." Catwoman Catarali immediately understood that her mission was actually to explore the map and find resources.
When the scavenger mechanical giant scorpion led a group of small mechanical scorpions, they used decomposition beams to clean up all the piles of rotting corpses surrounding the Snake Mountain outpost. The original landscape is finally revealed. Judging from the ruins of the buildings simulated and restored by "Skeleton King Brain", it was once a small town. The initial place where the crisis broke out was the delivery room of the Fly Queen.
In everyone's expectation, the "Skeleton King Brain", which was fully supercomputed, finally provided a holographic model of a building.
"Skinning factory?" Wu Houlin was also stunned. This evil name is completely inconsistent with the personal temperament of the master's righteous incarnation.
Wu Chen didn't mind: "Use spraying method to spray the recovered Fly-Change advantageous genes on the skin of Snake Mountain Gene Adapters. Through the lava snake tribe's special molting evolution talent, absorb the Fly-turner's advantageous genes and obtain Targeted genetic abilities. Each adapter will go through the process of molting and evolution, so it’s called a peeling factory.”
"Change it to an incubation factory." Catwoman Catra was also listening carefully.
"Inaccurate." The scorpion woman Scorpia shook her head: "Hatching refers specifically to the moment when life is born. Molting is quite appropriate."
"Let's call it 'Superpower Factory'." Wu Chen knew that they didn't like the word "peeling".
"It's all up to you, Master." Wu Houlin obviously had no objection.
The Sheshan drone group went out again, first assembling the ground with polymer materials, and then printing a fluid building with a simple structure. Immediately after, the first batch of adapters have walked out of Snake Mountain and entered the superpower factory.
"Master, is this genetic empowerment permanent?" Catwoman Catra was still curious about many details of the power factory.
"If there is no second molt, the genetic power will always be there." Wu Chen understood her concerns: "The reason why Snake Mountain was chosen as the outpost was also due to the lava snake clan's 'gene plunder' talent. Just like in the muddy future just now Warriors who obtain aberration reproductive equipment. We can obtain adaptive genetic empowerment according to different plot fragments. In other words, the special dual plot attributes of magic + technology of the lava snake clan give us the greatest flexibility. "
"I understand, Master." Shadow Lady Beatrix also woke up. Why "Snake Mountain"? This is actually a question common to all "Outpost Heroes". Now Wu Chen gave the most convincing answer: the dual plot adaptation of magic + technology.
From the moment the Snake Mountain drone swarm began to be constructed, the fragmented time and space of Flesh Punk experienced a plot counterattack due to Wu Chen's in-depth intervention. And naturally derived distortion divergence lines.
I saw a flesh and blood giant holding his hands on the ground and pulling half of his bloody body out of the ground. Amidst the exploding blood all over his body, lumps of sarcoma were shaken off. These terrifying sarcomas are like huge cancerous cells, densely packed and endlessly rushing towards Snake Mountain.
The weird shape is like a "bacteriophage" magnified countless times.
Bacteriophage (Phage) is a type of natural native virus. It is extremely small and can only be seen at the nanometer scale. It has an icosahedral geometric head, a hollow needle-like structure similar to a mechanical thread, and several probe-like tail needles. I don’t know but I thought this was the legendary nanorobot. Because they must be parasitic in living bacteria, have strict host specificity, and can cause lysis of host bacteria, they are called phages.
Simply put, phages can assist in the proliferation of host bacteria, produce many progeny phages, and ultimately lyse the bacteria.
If this flesh and blood punk competition place is regarded as a living ecology, then Wu Chen and the Snake Mountain Outpost are the invading "living bacteria".
However, compared to phages that can only be seen at the nanoscale, these giant flesh-and-blood punk phages have clear facial features and unusually strong alien limbs.
Like a biochemical robot.
