Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 62 Mechanical Ascension
"How far has it gone?"

Lu Yuan's sudden question did not scare Victor and his assistants. Instead, they were immediately interested when they saw Lu Yuan suddenly appearing beside them.

"CEO, you're here just in time..." An assistant quickly took out an engineering problem that they had been thinking about for a long time and put it in front of Lu Yuan, hoping to get an answer.

These assistants are all senior scientific researchers of the company. Many people in the company's scientific research department know that the CEO Lu Yuan is actually not only the superficial leader of the company, but also a person with outstanding knowledge and insight. scholars.

Many of the company's advanced technologies were developed by Lu Yuan, which is no secret within this group.

"The human body's nerves and intelligence are linked and driven, consciousness is transferred without loss, and the body coexists..." Lu Yuan murmured.

"Yes, CEO, we believe that the current technology possessed by the company is simply not enough to support such a project, but Minister Victor insists..." the assistants said helplessly.

As the chief engineer, Victor is in charge of the company's engineering department. Although he is not the director of the engineering department, he has the authority to override the director of the engineering department, so the people under him also call him the director.

Lu Yuan casually glanced at the so-called problem and looked at Victor, who seemed to be expressionless because he had lost an arm.

"Have you gotten this far?"

"Ah."

Victor nodded slightly and affirmed.

Lu Yuan waved his hand and asked the assistants to go down first.

After everyone else left, Victor revealed his true intentions and plan.

It turned out that what he wanted to do was not to design and implant a mechanical prosthetic body for himself to make up for his lost arm.

He has always been obsessed with the research of intelligence and machinery. Ever since he saw the powerful power possessed by gray goo omnics and those omnic troops, he has developed a deep coveting of that power.

It wasn't until he lost an arm in the last conflict with an angel that he realized more clearly...

As a group with great intentions, the Gray Goo Company wants to develop into a powerful civilization, so the flesh and blood bodies possessed by ordinary humans today are no longer enough to support them in their preset civilization. The road continued.

Nowadays, within the company, the flesh and blood are weak and the machines are powerful, so why can't they replace them?

As long as a method for perfect and lossless consciousness transfer is developed, human beings can completely abandon the current frail skin and become a more eternal, more perfect, and more potential mechanical life...

Victor also knew that his idea was crazy. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was an out-and-out lunatic act.

If other people knew about his idea, it would definitely bring a lot of criticism to him.

Give up the body, transfer consciousness, and embrace machinery?

What kind of ridiculous new idea is this?

Who can completely guarantee that the person after the transfer of consciousness will still be the same person?

Abandoning the original body, isn't it equivalent to killing yourself once?

Even if Gray Goo Company has reformed the thinking of its internal employees and made some objective updates to their moral concepts, once Victor's crazy idea spreads widely internally, it will still arouse some opposition. .

Oh, not necessarily, but definitely.

After all, under the leadership of the company, most of the lower-level employees have escaped suffering and poverty and have just entered the stage of enjoying a better life.

Most people are still immersed in a period of fresh life and a strong sense of self-identity. At this time, a person comes up with such a theory, telling you that you should kill yourself once and let yourself become those cold, devoid of emotions and desires. Mechanical life, what would you do?
Such a deviant idea will inevitably be counterattacked by internal ideological trends. No matter how extreme the materialist is, it is impossible for him to rashly support or accept such a castle-in-the-air idea in the current stage of civilization.

One can imagine what kind of attacks and resistance Victor would receive if he directly proposed his idea to the bottom employees who are the working people...

It is estimated that some people will regard Victor as an enemy, and may want to criticize him and label him as going against the collective will...

But does being attacked and boycotted by lower-level employees mean that Victor is really "deviating" and going against the collective will?
Is his idea really completely unreasonable?

Lu Yuan didn't want to care what others thought.

But at least in Lu Yuan's own opinion, Victor's idea with a strong "mechanical ascension" doctrine is sufficiently progressive.

It's just that this kind of progress has exceeded the scope of the thinking of the current era.

From the conflict with the angel, Lu Yuan also saw how weak the flesh and blood of ordinary people was.

Compared with the god-level civilizations in this universe that have a complete super genetic system, the current internal individuals of Gray Goo Company are indeed too weak.

Improving the strength of universal individuals is indeed an urgent matter for companies that are now enemies of angels.

The angelic civilization is famous in the known universe for its elite combat, and its best skill is beheading.At that time, once the official confrontation with the angels is complete, the Gray Gu Company, which only relies on a group of ordinary people as its leaders and general individuals, will be difficult to obtain any benefits from the angel warriors who can rely on micro-wormhole transportation to quickly intersperse operations.

There are specialties in the art industry. Although the civilization development system of this universe is slightly deformed, it is not a complete waste.

At least in terms of vanguard combat, Lu Yuan believed that the company's current development was far inferior to those god-level civilizations.

If you want to be the enemy of those god-level civilizations, you must be prepared to effectively deal with the beheading of the top soldiers.

Mechanical ascension is indeed a good choice for current companies.

Although this idea is beyond the scope of what is generally accepted by the development of the times, it does not mean that it is not realistically feasible.

Don't say far, just say near.

In a modern civilized society that has not realized the eternity of life, people from all walks of life that make up a complete society are actually organic life forms. All organic life forms will grow old, sick, and die. This is an iron law of nature that is understandable.

In the old days, no matter was immortal, and no life was immortal.

But it didn’t exist in the past, which doesn’t mean it can’t exist now, and it doesn’t mean it won’t exist in the future.

Mechanically ascend and kill yourself?
This is of course something that is now generally unacceptable to the lower level employees within the company.

But why should we promote this idea to employees in this way?

Why not explain this idea to employees from a different perspective?
Any organic civilization that has the phenomenon of dying of life is pursuing immortality and longevity.

In the past, the pursuit of immortality and longevity was the exclusive power of feudal emperors and the powerful class.

But now, a company that values ​​fairness first has put a method of immortality and longevity in front of everyone, allowing everyone to make their own choices.

It's just that this immortality and longevity come at a certain price. This price is to abandon the original flesh and blood body and embrace a brand new machine made entirely of alloys and machinery.

They will have a new name - Synths!

After becoming new mechanical beings, not only will they not be rejected by their own civilization, they will also be widely accepted.

The current company is already a group that can accommodate all rivers and streams. As long as the employees at the bottom do not reject the concept of "mechanical ascension", then admitting a group of mechanical beings into the company will not have much impact on the company. .

The company does not actively promote the concept of "mechanical ascension" internally, but it can allow some people to choose to accept this fact by providing options.

After all, there are now 200 billion employees within the company, and 200 billion people have hundreds of thousands of people growing old, getting sick, and dying every day.

Now that the company is providing these people who will "live old age, sickness and death" with a chance to live again, who would refuse?

To take a step back, for those low-level employees who still retain some remnants of the old era in their thinking, originally nothing in this world is immortal, but individuals are mortal. Even if they are not dead now, they will definitely die in the future.

But now, the company is so generous and has even arranged the path after death for each of them.

After all, the company is very tolerant of internal employees in terms of material standards, and their basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are completely satisfied. The bottom-level employees who are almost supported by the company will naturally understand that the "mechanical ascension" after their death will naturally be the company's Provided free of charge.

In this way, what else could they be dissatisfied with?

Now that the lower-level employees are satisfied, will Victor, the chief engineer who first proposed the idea of ​​"mechanical ascension", still be the so-called "deviant"?

Of course it can't be!

When Lu Yuan told Victor his thoughts, Victor was stunned for a while, and then felt extremely happy.

He didn't expect that Lu Yuan just had an unrealistic idea and Lu Yuan had already figured out what he was going to do next and what he should do.

Victor originally thought that his crazy idea would be rejected by Lu Yuan, and he was mentally prepared for this.

Now Lu Yuan's words completely dispelled Victor's psychological concerns.

"It's just that, Victor, since you brought up some things, you naturally need to make some statements..." Lu Yuan looked at Victor with a deep look, put a copy he had prepared a long time ago, and placed it on the table. He took out the plan from the holographic information recorder and handed it to Victor.

Victor took it with his only remaining arm and turned on the recorder. A holographic virtual panel popped out of the recorder, and a shocking plan appeared in his retina:
"Semi-intelligent intelligent system technology"

"Alfa Hub Construction Plan"

"Synthetic Era Project"
