Mechanical Flesh

With the oppression of the mechanical royal court outside and the small movements of new humans inside, Qi Yuan, who only had the strength of the third level, suddenly felt a little urgency.

If you can't advance to the fourth level, with your current strength, if there is a slight disturbance, you may shoot yourself to death.

But according to the consistent style of the talent tree, if you want to step into the fourth level, you must complete all the check-ins in the Black Steel Shelter.

With my current status, most of the check-in points can be completed, but there are still a few that are temporarily difficult to get my hands on.

Among them, the two most difficult sign-in points are one in the sealed laboratory and the other in the meeting room of the board of directors. If these two sign-in points cannot be resolved, my road to the fourth level may be very difficult.

Back in the laboratory, Qi Yuan fed Seraph again.

Seeing the satisfied Seraphim working hard to activate the alienated energy weapon, Qi Yuan shook his head.

The reason why he suppressed Seraphim's advancement was because he was worried that her strength would surpass him too much, which would easily cause backlash, but if he was unable to advance to the fourth level for a long time, maybe he could only let go of Seraph's restrictions and let her become stronger first.

On the second day after returning to the laboratory, the Ministry of Order confirmed the identities of Hu Sha and Ning Jiajia as spies. Although the two had concealed their identities very well and had not leaked their feet for many years, once the Ministry of Order locked their eyes on them No matter how perfect the cover-up is, it can't erase all traces, just like Qi Yuan can lock the two people through the verification date of the experimental equipment.

After grasping the evidence, the Ministry of Order's attack was as fast as thunder. Xia Shixun persuaded the director Zhuang Guo to attack Hu Sha directly.

That night, Qi Yuan received a message from Le Shikun, and he was under control. After Qi Yuan replied, he put down his work and went to the Department of Order to find Le Shikun.

Although Qi Yuan did not give him feedback immediately after finding the clue, but chose to contact Xia Shixun through Tanqiu, but Le Shikun didn't mind too much. On the contrary, he agreed with Qi Yuan's vigilance very much.

One of the spies, Ning Jiajia, was in the investigation team. If Qi Yuan hadn't been cautious enough, the two spies would have escaped already.

After learning the news of Qi Yuan's coming, Le Shikun deliberately arranged the meeting place in the monitoring room, and sent all the others out at the same time.

Qi Yuan pushed the door open and found Le Shikun alone in the monitoring room, knowing that the other party was helping him to conceal his identity.

"Qi Yuan!" Le Shikun greeted with a smile.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise our investigation team might have completely embarrassed the Ministry of Order this time."

The investigation team that caught the spy was mixed in by a spy, and this spy was the woman of the Deputy Minister of Order.

Ning Jiajia's behavior was like slapping the order department in the face.

If the investigation failed because of this, not only would the Department of Order be disgraced, but the people in the investigation team would also be implicated.

Qi Yuan smiled and didn't entangle this issue too much. The more indifferent he behaved, the more rewards from the Order Department.

"Did the arrest process go smoothly?" Qi Yuan asked.

Le Shikun smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.

Qi Yuan was a little surprised. Although Hu Sha has the strength of the fifth-order peak, this is the Black Steel Shelter.

Don't even try to find any waves below the seventh level, and Xia Shixun has already shot, there is no reason why the arrest is not smooth.

"Is Husha hiding his strength, or is there a more powerful enemy hidden in No. 77 Baixiang Street?"

Le Shikun paused and said in a low voice:

"No. 77 Baixiang Street, there is indeed a sixth-order mechanical body hidden, but it was controlled without much resistance."

"The arrest on Hu Sha's side was also very smooth. Minister Xia persuaded Director Zhuang Guo. In order to minimize the conflict between the two departments, Director Zhuang Guo even sent his valet Wei Jing to let him take action. Husha was arrested at the Risk Management Department."

"Although Hu Sha is not weak, Wei Jing is at the seventh level. In the face of a mysterious domain Tianqi, Hu Sha has no chance to resist."

"When the arrest was carried out by three parties at the same time, we did not expect that the two parties' operations went smoothly, but when the weakest Ning Jiajia was arrested, an accident occurred."

"Ning Jiajia seems to be only at the fourth level." Qi Yuan said.

Le Shikun nodded.

"Although Ning Jiajia is only at the fourth rank, Minister Yan has the sixth rank. The person in charge of arresting Ning Jiajia did not expect that Ning Jiajia, who was only at the fourth rank, would actually control Minister Yan at the sixth rank. Jing arrived in time and controlled Minister Yan, and the arrest operation here may cause a big mess."

Qi Yuan was also a little surprised. There was a difference of two big ranks between the fourth rank and the sixth rank. According to common sense, it is impossible for Ning Jiajia, who is only the fourth rank, to control Yan Junyi, who is the sixth rank.

"How did she do it?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Data body!" Le Shikun said.

"Minister Yan is a mechanic. In order to advance to the seventh level and become a high-level mechanical apostle, he gave up all his flesh and blood. Ning Jiajia used the data body to secretly control part of the authority of Minister Yan's mechanical body. If she exposes the time Any later, Minister Yan might become Ning Jiajia's puppet."

Qi Yuan was shocked instantly.

Yan Junyi is definitely a mechanic!

He abandoned all flesh and blood, and uploaded all the meanings into the steel can. He is a straight man of steel in the true sense. This Ning Jiajia can even climb into his bed. How did she do it?

"Although Wei Jing controlled Minister Yan in time to prevent him from causing more killings, he gave Ning Jiajia a chance to commit suicide. This woman committed suicide before we captured her, and used toxins to destroy her brain. There is no chance of making her a brain in a vat."

The brain in a vat is to dig out the enemy's brain, put it in the nutrient solution, and directly read the data in the cerebral cortex.

Although this method is cruel, it is very effective, perfectly replacing the role of torture in interrogation.

Qi Yuan glanced at the monitor, which showed the projection of the interrogation of Hu Sha, the spy of the Mechanical Royal Court, staring at the front with empty eyes, with a dull expression.

"Is his brain damaged?" Qi Yuan asked.

Le Shikun nodded.

"It is difficult for a spy of this level to instigate rebellion, so after Wei Jing controlled him, he directly used the ability of the mysterious domain to read part of his shallow memory. Unexpectedly, this Hu Sha is also a ruthless character. If you fall into the trap, once someone invades the consciousness and reads the memory, the brain will self-destruct."

"Although Wei Jing stopped in time and saved Hu Sha's life, his brain was damaged, so he became like this."

"Is it possible to interrogate things like this?" Qi Yuan asked.

Le Shikun shook his head.

"It's just a routine. In half an hour, he will be turned into a brain in a vat. However, his brain is damaged. Even if he is turned into a brain in a vat, it is estimated that no more information can be found."

"How is the situation with the mechanical body hidden at No. 77 Baixiang Street?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

After entering the Department of Order, Qi Yuan discovered that the check-in point at No. 77 Baixiang Street had disappeared, and instead, there was a new check-in point in the Department of Order.

If nothing else happened, the check-in point at No. 77 Baixiang Street should be on top of this machine body. As the Ministry of Order took control of this machine body, the sign-in point was also transferred to the Ministry of Order.

"In the mechanical room at the back, several mechanics are dismantling the mechanical body to see if they can find some useful clues."

"How do you plan to deal with this mechanical body?" Qi Yuan asked.

Le Shikun glanced at Qi Yuan and smiled.

"After our mechanic finishes checking and confirms that there is no hidden data body, this machine body should be imprisoned on the twelfth floor of the prison, and then give samples to the people in your laboratory for research."

Qi Yuan shrugged.

"The mechanical royal court's attainments in the mechanical field are indeed unique. It is expected to take samples of this mechanical body for research."

"If it's convenient, I'd like to take a sample first."

"Although there are some discord, but if it is you, there is no problem at all." Le Shikun said.

Qi Yuan should take the lead in finding out these two spies, and it was just a matter of taking a sample in advance. For him, it was just a favor.

Under the leadership of Le Shikun, Qi Yuan soon saw the mechanical body brought back from No. 77 Baixiang Street.

It looked like a bronze metal armor, if it wasn't for the milky white beam of light above the armor, Qi Yuan almost thought it was an antique decoration.

"Is this the sixth-order mechanical body?" Qi Yuan asked pretending to be surprised.

Le Shikun nodded.

"No. 77 Baixiang Street is an antique shop with various metal products from the old era. After the search personnel entered No. 77 Baixiang Street, they did not realize that it was a mechanical body at first. A sixth-level mechanic was almost fooled by it."

"How is the inspection progress?" Qi Yuan asked.

"For the time being, no active data bodies have been found, but whether there are sleeping hidden data bodies still needs to be checked."

"Its control center and energy core have been taken away, and it is now an immovable steel can. If you want to sample its control center and energy core, you may have to wait for a while until they finish checking .”

"Don't be so troublesome." Qi Yuan said calmly.

"It's enough for me to take some samples on this empty shell."

Signing that the beam of light is still on this mechanical body means that if there is really a secret in this mechanical body, it will not be in the control center and energy core, it is inside this seemingly empty mechanical body.

Le Shikun would naturally not object to Qi Yuan's request. Qi Yuan approached the mechanical body, easily touched the sign-in beam, completed the sign-in, and gained another third-level ability point.

When the sign-in was completed, Qi Yuan discovered that the metal part covered by the sign-in beam was a metal buckle on the waist of the mechanical body.

Qi Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he directly took off the metal ring. This ring, which is so popular with the sign-in staff, must have a special secret.

Qi Yuan tried to put the talent point close to the metal ring, and the familiar reminder really appeared again.

In this metal ring, there is a hidden data body, which can be fused with talent points to bring a brand new third-level ability—virtual invasion.

Qi Yuan was startled. This mechanical body may also be a trap left by the Mechanical Royal Court, just like the mechanical war beast numbered 12-00055. If the Ministry of Order does not find this hidden mechanical body, it will be imprisoned in prison twelve. Layer, let the laboratory take samples, the explosion accident in the laboratory is very likely to happen again.

This cannot be said that the Ministry of Order is too careless, but that the sixth-order mechanical body of the Mechanical Royal Court is too rare. Neither the Ministry of Order nor the laboratory is willing to destroy it. , the harvest definitely exceeds that of destroying three mechanical bodies of the same strength on the frontal battlefield.

Qi Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart, and put the metal ring in his hand into the container provided by Le Shikun.

A sleeping data body, of course, can't cause more damage, it still needs passive experimental equipment, and someone needs to wake it up.

If this data body is really a trap intentionally left by the mechanical royal court, it means that there is at least one spy of the mechanical royal court in the shelter.

Now that Ning Jiajia is dead, and Hu Sha's brain is damaged and he cannot communicate, it may be difficult to find the last spy from him!

Qi Yuan's thoughts flickered, no matter whether there are other spies in the shelter, since this data body has fallen into his hands, no one can use it to sabotage it.

"How much does the Ministry of Order know about the data bodies of the Mechanical Royal Court?" Qi Yuan asked.

"We don't know much." Le Shikun shook his head.

"It's not just us, even the war department that has fought against the Mechanical King's Court knows little about data bodies."

"However, one thing is certain, even within the Mechanical Royal Court, data bodies are very precious."

"I have consulted a seventh-level mechanic, and he judged that the data body of the Mechanical Royal Court is a semi-smart digital life. If we go further, the Mechanical Royal Court can produce a truly intelligent digital life body. Their strength is also will expand further.”

Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

The most essential difference between a mechanic who has abandoned all flesh and blood and a robot is that a mechanic has independent intelligence, while a robot has a very perfect mechanical logic and can execute human instructions almost perfectly, but they do not actually have real intelligence .

If the Mechanical Royal Court produces a truly intelligent life form, it means that their robots will become mechanical life forms, and they will create a brand new intelligent race.

"I hope the Mechanical Royal Court won't be so crazy." Qi Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

Once the mechanical royal court produces a truly intelligent digital life body, the birth of mechanical life will inevitably follow.

Although the mechanical life will improve the strength of the mechanical royal court, if the machine has real life, it will think for itself, and it will become impossible to control it as if it were a robot.

Once the Mechanical Royal Court opens this Pandora's box, what is released will probably be an enemy of all flesh and blood.

After signing in and taking in a sleeping digital lifeform, just as Qi Yuan was about to leave, Wei Jing suddenly came to the door.

"Qi Yuan, hello! I'm Wei Jing!" Wei Jing greeted with a smile, without the slightest airs.

"Hi, may I ask, what can I do for you?"

Facing an apocalyptic powerhouse from the mysterious realm, Qi Yuan didn't dare to be careless. Even if he brought Seraphim with him, an energy body with only a fourth-order energy body would not be able to play any role in front of Wei Jing.

"Being dragged by others, I want to invite you to meet and clear up the misunderstanding." Wei Jing said.

Qi Yuan's thoughts changed sharply. He had many enemies, but there were not many people who could persuade Wei Jing, a powerhouse of the seventh rank, to be a lobbyist. Moreover, Wei Jing was also a close servant of Director Zhuanguo, so he could come forward to be a lobbyist. Does the lobbyist have something to do with Director Zhuang Guo?
