Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 479 - 14: Biological Computer (Part 1)

Paradise Bird still maintained that mature woman’s appearance, her entire being hovering between reality and illusion, with code fluttering across her body like flames, forming a jumble that, at first glance, seemed like a digital mosaic gaining consciousness.

However, this humanoid mosaic conveyed a sensation of ’igniting the world’.

In the past, this was the kind of impact that the ’internet wave’ explosion gave people.

Paradise Bird glanced at Gao Gong with indifference, as the real-life playboy type did not match her aesthetic.

Without speaking, she pointed a virtual finger, and in the next moment, a stream of data was directly transmitted over. Scenes from Fucheng Island flashed through Gao Gong’s mind like a movie.

"Skull Society, and it’s Bandai."

Gao Gong’s first reaction was a frown, not because he disliked Skull Society. In a sense, in the fight against global enterprises, they were natural allies — as long as you were mad enough in the realm of technology.

But at the moment, it seemed Skull Society was still in the ’review phase’ regarding ’Du Gao Technology’.

As the ’review’ intensifies, Skull Society will employ various methods against you until you withstand it and become one of them.

Can Director Du withstand such extreme pressure?

Moreover, Director Du has quite a temper. If truly infuriated, even the playboy type might have to retreat temporarily.

"So, Director Du means, an eye for an eye; she wants to retaliate against a member of Skull Society in the same way, that Dark Realm, right?"

Paradise Bird silently nodded.

"The Global Brainware Center, huh," Gao Gong squinted his eyes. He remembered clearly that this piece of black technology was one of the largest suppliers in the future ’Electronic Brain Plan’.

In a sense, this could be a good thing — if they could gain the opponent’s technology through such a counterattack.

"You stay here for a couple of days first. Once I’m done with my work here, we’ll talk in detail."

Paradise Bird nodded, a red light flashing in her eyes. In the next moment, Gao Gong felt countless ’Hyperlink Protocols’ hanging onto various systems of his body. With a ’boom’, flames erupted all over his body and then directly poured into the Brain Disc.

And then, the roar of ’disappointment and tragedy’ resonated from the Brain Disc.

’What are you guys still playing games for!? Don’t you have some ambition!!’

’Senior Sister, why are you back!?’

And then, Ahong and Aidolu, the lazy couple, were angrily put to work by Paradise Bird.

Gao Gong decisively cut off the Brain Disc sensing to avoid the lethargic chaos spreading to him.

Though he was once a lethargic person himself.

...

The Heart of the Ocean has now transformed dramatically, with blood vessels extending hundreds of miles, connecting one ’Holy Tree’ after another.

Within the tubes, meaty placentas occasionally burst open, and ’aquatic’ Radiation Beasts crawled out, their claws morphing into thick flippers, their skin into scale-like structures, and their eyes bulging.

As they ’birthed,’ Mixed-blood Sea People promptly swam over to clean and feed them.

These ’aquatic Radiation Beasts’ would become their best partners in the future.

Keramos and Brain-in-a-Vat were both S-Level beings, especially Brain-in-a-Vat, nearly equivalent to SS-Level, or Tier 3 creatures.

The two teamed up to create such a large-scale biological engineering feat.

Gao Gong once again entered a fluid state, making his body indistinguishable from seawater. No Ocean People could detect his presence until he arrived beneath the largest ’Holy Tree’.

This ’Holy Tree’ was different from the others; its crown covered the visibly perceivable sea surface, with numerous roots penetrating the seabed over an area of three ocean trenches, where thousands of fish roamed — it was like a top-quality ink painting.

Many knew about the terrifying overlord production capacity of the Mechanical Civilization. Unless subjected to a dimensional strike, it could drag an interstellar war on for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.

But in truth, the biological civilization’s overlord production capacity was not inferior, though their ’overlord production’ was of a different kind.

Rather than mass-producing soldiers, they mass-produced ’architecture’.

Name: Genetic Ecological Beast (Holy Tree Form)

Category: Biological Architecture

Quality: Tier 2

Weight: 140 Tons

Large Module: Enlightenment Module (Repaired), Genetic Synthesis Module (Repaired), Defense Module (100%), Biological Transformation Module (New Module)

Note: A genetic factory jointly created by High-level Information Bodies and Radiation Ecological Beasts, currently only effective on Radiation Beasts.

Originally a Tier 1 Genetic Ecological Beast, within a few days, these two repaired and upgraded it to Tier 2.

This indeed was the correct approach to opening biological civilization: through evolving ’architecture’, then species, leading to rampant species production.

Generally speaking, reaching a Level 3 Civilization, a planet could serve as a production unit for planetary species production.

However, these two hadn’t reached that stage, and under the suppression of the three Mother Cities, they couldn’t step any further.

And having millions of Radiation Beasts ’go to sea’ alone was enough to prove their capability.

Watching this ’sky-shrouding’ great tree, Gao Gong realized that his feud with the Knight Order was now firmly established.

Killing one or two Great Knights or even a Standard Bearer meant little to such a cold-blooded Knight Order.

But aiding the ’Brain-in-a-Vat’ to go to sea disrupted the ’war’ plan, as the sea was destined to have only one ruler.

Without the massive ocean species support, the Knight Order couldn’t possibly unleash so many S-Level ancient species in the future.

This was a conflict of paths.

But for Gao Gong, offending them didn’t matter.

Mere planetary terrorist organizations, back when he was hunted by various Advanced Civilizations, the Mechanical Split Star was already gone.

Gao Gong slowly drifted to the middle of the ’Holy Tree’, from which a face slowly emerged on the tree trunk, vastly distorted compared to normal, a ’Little Woman’ enlarged a hundred times.

"As promised, I will perform ’transformation’ on you. Are you ready?"

Gao Gong nodded.

"I will split a portion of consciousness to merge with you, I hope you can endure it."

This was the voice of Keramos.

Countless black tree tendrils exploded from the trunk and inserted into Gao Gong’s body, producing an intense digestive sound.

In his ’Carbon-Based Fluid State’, Gao Gong was directly absorbed into the tree, or rather, the large-scale biological computer.

This was another unique advantage of biological civilization: using ’hardware’ to grow ’hardware.’

Plant a chip, and next year, you can harvest a bunch of chips — very cost-effective.

Once absorbed into the tree, Gao Gong’s eight human body systems — musculoskeletal, neural, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive — were directly divided into eight parts.

Much like assembling a computer, once part ’hardware’ is transformed and reinstalled, the human body system will become a true biological computer system.
