"Ai Yin will explain next. My vocal cord system is about to expire. In order to avoid damage during the explanation process, I must speak less."
After speaking, Dr. B1 looked at the female mechanical doll and motioned for the other party to continue. The latter nodded slightly, then turned to face Chen Xing, placed his hands flat on his lower abdomen, bowed deeply and saluted.
"The leading student of Datong, I am Aiyin, the X7-type modified person. Now let me explain the technology and philosophy of Heqiao Research Institute."
After Chen Xing nodded in response, she continued to explain.
"For many years, we have been committed to the integration of spiritual energy, physical body, and machinery."
A virtual panel appeared in front of Ai Yin. She raised her smooth metal finger and clicked lightly. A three-dimensional mechanical structure diagram several meters high appeared in the middle of the hall.
Just like the human anatomy diagram in the hospital, it is a diagram of the internal structure of a mechanical doll, with a metal skeleton, joint ball heads, various sizes of hydraulic pumps and colorful pipelines, circuit boards, transistors, etc.
Chen Xing is not a mechanical scholar and cannot understand most of the parts.
However, he could see that the head of the mechanical doll had a holding device similar to a specimen vessel. What was drawn inside was a human brain, complete with lobes, brainstem, and pituitary gland, and what connected the vessel was a leaf. The shaped device resembles a mulberry leaf, with clean veins.
This part is obviously protected by various buffer devices.
"According to Dr. A's core philosophy, the body is the container that carries the spirit, spiritual energy is the material that constitutes the spirit, and machinery is a tool that assists the spirit in achieving its goals."
"Therefore, we believe that spirit is the only proof of human existence."
"How to make the spirit stronger and finally get rid of the prison of the body and become a higher-level life is the ultimate goal of the River Bird Research Institute."
"But this is a very distant goal, and it may take thousands or even millions of years, so we must set stage-by-stage goals and achieve them one by one."
"And our goal at this stage is how to get rid of the limitations of weak carbon life."
"Everyone knows that the body of carbon life is composed of carbohydrates, and its overall strength is far inferior to other substances, such as silicon and iron."
"Carbon life must combine with other elements to become more powerful."
"With the development of medical technology and prosthetic technology, we have gradually found the direction."
"After years of research, we discovered that spiritual pools are primarily found in the brain and spine."
"As long as the brain and spine survive, the spiritual pool will remain intact."
"So we used surgery to remove the volunteer's brain and spine and put them into the mechanical body, completing the first stage of transformation."
"Our transformed humans have a powerful body and can continue to exercise their psychic abilities and complete their spiritual evolution."
"From the initial x1 experimental model to the most advanced x7 experimental model, our transformation technology has become mature, and we have mass-produced the model with the highest comprehensive ratio of cost and stability."
Under Aiyin's control, the three-dimensional screen turned into a machine factory and a hospital's surgical operating room, followed by the Cyborg troops arranged in square formations.
It took Chen Xing a long time to get over the dual impact of thought and vision.
Hit and recover.
"Are they all voluntary?" Chen Xing couldn't help but ask.
Taking out the brain and spine from a living person and putting them into a mechanical body is terrifying just to imagine.
No wonder this group of people are called scientific madmen, alchemists, and a disgrace to academia. They blatantly engage in human experiments, which is really against human ethics.
Ai Yin paused obviously for a few seconds, as if the computer suddenly jammed.
"Most..." Dr. B1 answered the question for Aiyin.
"Ai Yin was originally C3A, the assistant of female doctor C3. She lost most of her body tissue in an experimental accident and could not be regenerated and repaired, so we reshaped her."
"What about the others?" Chen Xing asked. He didn't believe there would be many volunteers for this kind of thing. When you lose your body, you will also lose most of your desires. You can't taste delicious food, and you won't be moved when you see a beautiful woman. So what's the fun in living?
At least for him, he would rather die.
"Some do it to pursue a higher realm, some do it to gain strength, some do it for family and money, and some just want to change their lifestyle. There are many reasons." Dr. B1 said.
"Only a small number of people are pursuing these, most of them are just trying to survive." Chen Xing said. According to his social cognition, most people are just for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Only a few of them have lofty ideals, and an even smaller number of people, such as Tie Nuo and Shen Guangming, would put their ideals above their lives.
To put it bluntly, most people are just ordinary people, living driven by instinct, such as Chen Xing himself.
Isn't everything he does just for good food, good drinks, and beautiful women to have sex with?
People are selfish animals. This sentence is true for most people.
Dr. B1 seemed to not understand what he said, frowning and thinking hard.
"Are the leading students of Tatong worried about the control of the Cyborg Legion?" Aiyin suddenly asked.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, "You are very smart."
Even he himself didn't realize the core reason why he asked these questions. In fact, he subconsciously felt that this was unreasonable. And this unreasonableness comes from his understanding of human nature and the military system.
The commander must know why the soldiers below are fighting, and these transformed people have lost their basic human desires, so why are they fighting?
This proposition directly determines whether the Cyborg Legion has actual combat effectiveness.
Aiyin turned around and clicked on the control panel a few times. A small cylinder rose in front of Chen Xing, with a small injection potion placed on it.
"Synthesis of dopamine."
"This is the driving force that drives the Cyborg soldiers to fight."
"Fight and you will gain happiness."
"I probably understand." Chen Xing nodded. Indeed, using happiness to promote action is a consistent practice of the human endocrine system.
Looking into the blue eyes of the mechanical doll, he asked again, "Then please tell me, Miss Aiyin, what is your goal in life?"
"Explore the mystery of the void, reach the end of evolution, break out of the cocoon and turn into a butterfly, shed your shell and be reborn." Aiyin replied without thinking.
Answer, maybe this is the answer she has already figured out.
"This is also my pursuit." Dr. B1 raised his hands, raised his head, and closed his eyes and said, "It is also the pursuit of all researchers at Heqiao Research Institute."
His expression was pious and his eyes were pure, like a young man looking up at the stars, simple and persistent.
Perhaps this is the power of faith, which transcends the shackles of species instinct.
"But there's one thing I still don't understand." Chen Xing asked, "If you want to become stronger, can't you use an evolution potion?"
"It's a matter of cost." Aiyin replied.
"The renovation costs a lot, right?" Chen Xing continued to ask. It's a neurosurgery and it's a mechanical body surgery. You can tell at a glance that the cost cannot be too low.
"If you only have elite-level combat power, it is indeed more cost-effective to use low-level evolution potions. But our cyborg warriors have at least a quasi-guardian level combat power." Aiyin explained, "For most people who are not very talented, Accepting transformation is the fastest way.”
"Elite-level foundation, using hero potion, the probability of success is less than 15%."
"Our surgery success rate is 98 percent, and it's almost elite level."
Hearing this, Chen Xing became a little excited, "How many such robot warriors can I equip?"
"We currently have 8,000 Cyborg warriors. Excluding city defense, we can provide the commander with 5,000 combat units."
"We can perform up to 300 reconstructive surgeries per month, but we need materials, complete human brains and spines, and various spare parts."
The Heque Principality does not have its own factory and relies entirely on purchasing and custom-made semi-finished products, which are then assembled by itself.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like there are many people, but according to Aiyin, the minimum combat power is quasi-guarding, which is very powerful.
It is normal for a quasi-guard to kill several regular squads. Of course, this situation cannot be calculated on the battlefield. Just like a special forces soldier may kill thirty or forty ordinary soldiers in the deep mountains and forests, but on the battlefield, he is likely to be killed by stray bullets flying from nowhere.
"Very good." Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "When can you give me the troops as soon as possible?"
"From the moment you step off the airship, you have gained control of the Cyborg Corps." Dr. B1 nodded slightly, "Aiyin will be your liaison officer, responsible for all related communication and execution."
"I still have unfinished experiments, so I'll excuse you."
After saying this, Dr. B1 turned his wheelchair and took the elevator to leave.
Chen Xing watched the doctor leave, thinking that the Heque Principality really implemented the concept of "simple and efficient" to the extreme, without even a word of nonsense.
"Ai Yin." Chen Xing tried to shout.
"Waiting for your instructions, Datong will take the lead." Aiyin bowed and saluted, his movements were standardized, his hands were placed flat on his lower abdomen, and he bowed a complete ninety degrees, meticulously.
"Contact Bai Ye Fenghua and arrange the entry procedures for Bai Ye's First and Second Army."
"Instructions received!"
"Assemble the army of Cyborgs and be ready to head to the border of the Principality of Tianqin at any time."
"Instructions received!"
