Getting a Technology System in Modern Day-Chapter 863: Mental Evaluation V (Was it Luck?)
"So, what happened to the brain after it fully transformed into an organic one? Did it continue to sustain itself with mana, or did it require normal human nutrition?"
Amir didn’t hesitate this time. "During the transformation process, it remained sustained by mana. But the moment the conversion was complete, the brain started showing signs of an energy crisis. Its cells began running out of energy, which triggered an emergency response from the monitoring AI. To prevent irreversible damage—neuron death, brain cell degradation—the AI immediately put the brain into stasis."
The evaluator’s eyes narrowed slightly. "And after that?"
"After that, the team placed it in a medipod and used the DNA extracted from its cells to construct a body for it." Amir exhaled. "Once the body was completed, they removed the stasis and immediately logged the consciousness into VR for evaluation."
The evaluator leaned back slightly, digesting the information. "And what did they find?"
"There was no detectable difference between its behavior and that of a normal human." Amir’s lips pressed into a thin line. "Except… he lacked the knowledge that a human typically accumulates as they grow. That meant we had to raise him ourselves—as if he were our own child. Because, in every way that mattered, he was."
The evaluator stared at him for a long moment. Then, finally, he asked, "What is his name?"
Amir’s expression softened slightly. "Adam T. İlksoy."
The evaluator chuckled, clearly amused by the naming choice. The name "Adam" was fitting, referencing the first human. His middle initial, "T," stood for TRAPPIST, the star system where he had originated. His surname, İlksoy, a Turkish name meaning "First Lineage" or "First Ancestry," reflected his unique status as the first of his kind—despite being indistinguishable from a regular human.
"Interesting name," the evaluator remarked before asking, "He should be about five years old now, right?"
"Yes and no," Amir replied. "Technically, he was designated as eleven this year. He spent five years in VR, growing up in a simulated family environment until his cognitive and developmental age matched that of his organic brain. Only then was he logged out and integrated into our society."
The evaluator nodded before posing another question. "I assume he returned with you?"
Amir looked slightly incredulous at the question, as if the very idea of leaving Adam behind was absurd. "Yes, of course, we brought them back with us."
"Them?" The evaluator caught onto the plural and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, them," Amir confirmed. "At present, there are fourteen of them with us. Further research was necessary to determine various factors—whether the process could be repeated by different individuals, whether using the same person multiple times would result in genetic similarities, and how variables such as the amount of material, an individual’s awakened status, or even the origin of the material from different planets affected the outcome. They also tested whether Adam himself could trigger the process."
The evaluator leaned forward, intrigued. "And what were the results?"

Aron’s face was alight with excitement, his expression unguarded as his eyes scanned the summary of the research. The sheer anticipation of uncovering the results of the various experimental conditions had him completely absorbed. For once, he didn’t even consider speculating on the outcomes beforehand—he was too eager to see the data immediately.

|| Research Summary – Experimental Variations ||
Repeatability Test: The experiment was replicated under identical conditions with a different gendered researcher, yielding the same results. The only notable difference was a slight variation in brain structure, which had a minor impact on intelligence compared to Adam. However, this issue was resolved through neuroplasticity during the VR growth period. Recommendation: Implement strict candidate selection before initiating contact to ensure optimal results and prevent unnecessary complications.
Same-Person Repeatability Test: Researcher Zhao conducted the experiment again to determine whether the newly created individual would have identical DNA to Adam. The results showed a less than 1% genetic variance, confirming that the process could be reliably used to generate individuals of consistently high quality. Although……………..
Using Increased Material Volume: An experiment using ten times the original material amount resulted in a successful creation. The brain’s developmental age matched Adam’s, but due to the larger volume, a fully developed body formed naturally, and the organification process occurred at an accelerated rate—likely due to the greater available mass for mana absorption.

Recommendation: The standard material volume used for Adam is more efficient, as the Empire already has the capability to generate bodies separately.
Using Reduced Material Volume: When only half the material volume was used, the experiment failed to produce a fully formed brain. The conversion process was incomplete, leading to signs of brain death. However, when additional materials were introduced to the area, the brain absorbed them and successfully completed its development, ultimately matching Adam’s growth pattern. It is not reco………………..
Testing with an Awakened Individual: Despite using an awakened researcher, the created individual was an ordinary human, though they retained the same potential to awaken as any other human. This partially removed the possibility of mass-producing pre-awakened elites. Further Tests are needed to see if it is possible to………………
Material Source Test: Samples from all seven planets were used to determine if the process depended on planetary origin. The results showed no variance, confirming that any of the planets’ materials could be used interchangeably. The amount of mater………………
Testing Adam’s Ability to Create Others: Adam himself attempted the process, successfully creating a new individual. This confirmed that once fully transformed into this specific species, an individual could replicate the process using the necessary materials. This can allow them to become parents…………….

Aron exhaled deeply, setting the report aside for a moment. "Thank god they didn’t land on the planet right after arriving," he muttered. The thought of one of them inadvertently triggering the same event that researcher Zhao had initiated sent a shudder down his spine. That would have been a disaster—one that he didn’t even want to imagine.
……………
"Why stop at fourteen? And why only test on humans and not other conscious species?" the evaluator asked, his tone shifting to one of analytical curiosity. From a rational standpoint, halting at just fourteen when there were still numerous variables left unexplored didn’t quite make sense.
