"We didn't ask you to take us there." Shen Fu pretended to be confused, "We are just more interested in the human body modification technology in Galaxy, so we want to take a look, you know, we As an interstellar traveler, naturally he can take a trip at any time."
"...Really?" Shirley looked at Shen Fu with some suspicion, then at Emilia and Reinhardt, and finally she could only believe it.
"Those damn politicians."
Sitting on the sofa next to Emilia, Shirley Lu was also a little helpless. In her opinion, those politicians must have included her in order to please Shen Fu and others. A star is a star, but She is also restricted by the company. If the company does not support her, she will not be able to resist the power.
"Don't be too disappointed." Shen Fu smiled and shook his head, "I can see that you don't have much interest in the Miss Macross audition. After Galaxy's visit, we will send you directly back to Frontier. It's very convenient. It will take about ten minutes to arrive.”
The Galaxy is not far from the frontier, only about seven or eight light-years away, but it must rely on a fold wormhole to travel, and the time spent on the way is not short.
However, if Shen Fu were to come, it would only take three teleports to arrive. There is no comparison between Fold's wormhole technology and the technology of super-civilized time and space transfer devices.
"Why are you suddenly interested in human body modification technology?" Shirley Lu didn't know why and suddenly asked this, "Human body modification is prohibited by law on many spaceships. Galaxy is the only one that not only does not prohibit it, but also I am very supportive of the immigration spacecraft, but to be honest, even if I am a Galaxy person, I don’t really like this technology.”
"Really... But your agent used this technique." Shen Fu glanced at Grace aside.
Grace seemed stunned, then adjusted her glasses slightly and showed a formulaic smile, "This is just to facilitate the execution of the agent's work. In fact, I am not willing to carry out this kind of transformation."
At this moment, in her eyes, Shirley's appearance had changed into what she looked like after being seen through special light. From the body temperature, to the bones, and even the internal organs, she could see clearly. However, Shen Fu and others were covered with... It is like a circle of fog, and it is difficult to see through any technology, including ordinary interstellar travelers who seem to be just accompanying attendants.
"Explain it to us." Shen Fu looked very curious, "How far can this kind of human body modification be achieved? We have experienced many places and seen many civilizations, but we can still hate it. There are not many civilizations that would replace themselves with complete mechanical creations. You must know that only life contains extraordinary power."
Grace didn't know what she was thinking, but she looked very happy on the surface.
“Originally, the popularity of body modification technology on Galaxy went through a lot of ups and downs. However, compared to people’s subjective moral difficulty in accepting it, the benefits of body modification also attracted more and more people, and it gradually developed. "Grace paused and continued, "With current technology, we can basically replace the entire body of the human body except the brain. This will not only greatly increase the lifespan, but also there is no need to worry about getting sick or injured, and you can enjoy it as much as you want. Enjoy the convenience brought by the mechanical body.”
"Except for the brain..." For some reason, Shen Fu suddenly remembered a famous animation in the main world.
I don’t know if I can see Motoko Kusanagi here, probably not. Apart from the similar settings, these are two completely different background worlds.
"Are there many people who have modified their bodies to this extent?" Shen Fu asked.
"Not many." Shirley Lu answered him this time, "Even in Galaxy, not many people will carry out modifications other than necessary. For example, people who like to drink can just modify an electronic liver, and people who like to surf the Internet can modify it. Just add an electronic eye connected to the Internet, and most of the people who undergo full-body transformation are elderly people with a limited life span, or police and soldiers who were almost sacrificed due to special events. By the way, I am a relatively rare natural person in Galaxy. So far I have never received any human body modification so far.”
"Want to hear our opinion?" Shen Fu squinted his eyes and said, "In our opinion, this kind of human body modification technology is actually a recipe for death for the development of an entire civilization."
"Why?" Shirley Lu was also intrigued, "It is said that your lifespan is eternal? Then you must have lived for a very long time and have seen various civilizations?"
"The reason is simple, because of life and soul." Shen Fu stretched out his palm, "What is the most basic difference between living things and machines? Living things are [living], while machines are [dead]. Only living things can accommodate the soul of life. Of course, I have also seen [living] machinery, which is also life. But obviously, your technology cannot allow the modified machinery to accommodate your soul. In fact, The only existences that can do this are [gods] like us."
"Does the soul, a legendary thing in the Earth Age, really exist?" The question this time was from Grace.
Although she still couldn't see any flaws on the surface, Shen Fu couldn't help but snicker in his heart and showed some special skills to not be afraid that you wouldn't take the bait.
"Of course the soul exists, it is the will of life." Shen Fu turned on the deception mode, "You all know that even single-celled organisms have basic eating and digestion functions. Why? Because survival is the most basic function of the soul's will. Things, I have seen tyrannical strong men who can exist in the world with their souls even if their bodies are completely dead and nothing is left. In fact, at our level, there is no clear boundary between the body and the soul. Betty, show them."
Shen Fu turned around and touched Beatrice's head.
"Okay." Beatrice jumped out of her seat and said with a smile, "Look, here is the moment to witness the miracle——"
The word "engraved" was still echoing in everyone's ears, but Beatrice's body had completely decomposed in that moment, turning into countless tiny light spots, and then getting smaller and smaller until they completely dissipated.
"What, what's going on! Where is Betty?" Shirley Lu was shocked.
A living little girl "disintegrated into ashes" in front of her. She was still someone she was familiar with. Anyone else's first reaction would be horror.
