Legend of the Planet Builder-Chapter 299 - 241: Giant Mecha "Erlang God

"Neuro-mechanical technology succeeded!" At Huimeng Game, Jiang Yuanshan excitedly called Zhang Zhijian, shouting, "Zhang, the virtual world! The brain-computer interface technology has matured!"

"We can create a virtual world now!"

"Virtual world!" In the company, all the game designers were shouting crazily, with some even climbing onto tables, yelling, "We are going to create a virtual world! A brand new world!"

...

Qiao Feiyu, without any regard for displaying his own body, said, "Here, I want to speak to my fellow patients who have been infected with the Zerg genetic virus like me."

"Don’t give up, we can still stand up, we can still be human, even if our bodies turn into machines, our souls still belong to Shen Zhou!"

"Machines cannot change our souls and minds! They only make us stronger!"

Reporters applauded enthusiastically, and Shen Bingbing asked, "Comrade Qiao Feiyu, the surgery was successful, what do you want to do most now?"

Qiao Feiyu said, "Thanks to Academician He, Dr. Hao Siqi, and all the researchers who have poured their blood and sweat for me. Also, I want to go home to see my parents and tell them not to worry."

"Lastly, I hope to return to the army as soon as possible and continue to serve the country! I believe the reborn me will play a greater role in wiping out those pests that harm us!"

Qiao Feiyu continued his speech, while showing his transformed body.

When people realized his body had the capabilities of combat robots, their emotions shifted from surprise to envy.

"It’s like turning into a superhero directly!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Yes, if I could turn into a superhero, I would also be willing to transform!"

"He has a nuclear battery in his belly! A humanoid nuclear bomb?"

"Does this mean he can physically fight against the Zerg?"

"Just thinking about it is so cool!"

...

This transformation press conference caused a huge reaction in human society.

Some praised it, claiming that human civilization would enter a new era, while others expressed concern, fearing that humans would all turn into robots, thus overturning societal morals and laws.

In response, Song Jinhong specially stood out, stating that biotechnologies are also developing, and a protein-based memory chip has been researched and will gradually be open to the society.

Topics like human evolution and body modification were hotly discussed in society.

...

"Neuro-mechanical technology manufacturing completed, unlocking auxiliary memory and computing functions." The Quantum Light Computer reminded He Xingzhou, "and it has also unlocked the remote control function for mechanical equipment."

Now He Xingzhou, like the transformed one, can directly control mechanics remotely through the Quantum Light Computer.

"You can opt for mechanical modification of your body," the Quantum Light Computer added.

"No need for now." He Xingzhou thought, since he has the Quantum Light Computer, which is a stronger auxiliary "equipment" than others’ Superconducting Quantum Computers, there’s no need for a miniaturized Quantum Computer implant.

As for body modification, He Xingzhou leaned more towards biological genetic modification.

He now has armor he can use, capable of doing what transformed people can do. Besides, body modification doesn’t extend human lifespan; ultimately, genetic or cellular modification will be needed.

For He Xingzhou, the success of neuro-mechanical implantation surgery is far more significant than that.

This technology, besides helping some patients infected by the Zerg genetic virus regain new life, will also bring new military power to humans.

Transformed individuals are one aspect, and then there’s the neuro-mechanical control of the Zerg!

This is one method used by Sunbird Biotechnology, using mechanical equipment to control Zerg bodies!

"We can also make controllers to control Zerg brains, making them fight for us!" At Xuanwu Military Base, He Xingzhou said.

"We also have cloning technology; by cloning the Insect King and adding neuro-mechanical controllers, we can create a mechanical Zerg army!"

Song Jinhong fully agreed, saying, "Let the Zerg deal with the Zerg, it’s not a bad way to expand our strength!"

"Since we have technology, we can immediately begin execution. We now have multiple Insect King genetic samples, so we can start cloning or control experiments." Kong Qing said, "The biggest issue in expanding our military strength now is mainly limited by resource scarcity."

"Our reserved resources have been almost exhausted in the war, and even building mechanical equipment is facing big problems." Lv Mei said.

War heavily consumes resources; Shen Zhou would have collapsed long ago if not for continuous technological breakthroughs.

"Now that Insect Kings are active frequently, we are hindered in extracting resources worldwide." Qin Peng said, "We must find a way to tackle the insects!"

"Xuanwu, open the map." Qin Peng instructed Xuanwu, pointing to a location on the map, "This area is resource-rich. Our Blue Star Alliance has built a safe zone, but due to the Beluga Insect King, we haven’t been able to extract or transport resources safely."

"My idea is, before the insects decide to move against us, we eliminate the Beluga Insect King first!"

The area he pointed to is the vast Siberia and surrounding regions, with abundant minerals.

If it could return to Blue Star Alliance’s control, it would greatly aid in expanding their military strength.

As for Shen Zhou’s south and east, humans currently can’t directly compete against the Zerg in the seas, so sea resource extraction is not possible.
