Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

More than two thousand majestic warships would not be underestimated in any world or civilization.

But that thing that looks like a water droplet.

Like skewering candied hawthorns, we passed through the fleet, watching those dazzling explosions bloom in space.

In a short while, only a pile of debris remained in the universe.

All human factions felt uneasy at the sight, because human corpses were floating out of the wreckage of the fleet above.

This is clearly a human force.

According to Tianmu, the other party was just a heat probe?

What kind of civilization is this?

This kind of detector wouldn't even be able to penetrate our armor, let alone shatter it; there wouldn't even be a scratch on our armor.

This is the power of technology.

Furthermore, while researching fundamental physics, the group also devoted a significant amount of time and energy to engineering research.

Using prosthetics to replace fragile limbs in an organism

Flesh and blood are weak, but machinery soars!

These eight words have sparked much discussion around the world.

—Warhammer World—

Mars, the Mechanical Order.

The mechanical priests' binary chanting suddenly rose in pitch.

For the first time, a serious disagreement arose within the Mechanical Guild.

Some people were fervently eager to emulate that empire's "mechanical ascension" technology.

Some have cautioned that this was achieved at the cost of countless lives.

But regardless of which side it is, they all have to admit one thing.

Those eight words have been etched into the hearts of every mechanical priest.

Flesh and blood are weak, while machinery soars.

—Cyberpunk World—

Night City.

Dr. Wei, the prosthetic doctor, stood at the entrance of the clinic, gazing at the sky, speechless for a long time.

"Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars..."

he murmured.

Valerie (female V) walked over, looked at the eight characters on the sky, and laughed: "Old V, if things end up like that here, you'll probably become the richest man in the world."

"Remember to give us a hand when the time comes."

Old Wei shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's not a good thing."

"Replacing a large number of prosthetic bodies, not to mention whether it will eventually become a competition of mechanical chips and materials, raises the question of whether humans are still human."

"Take a recent example, so many cybernetic psychopaths in Night City are all people who have worn too many prosthetics..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh and look back at the location of his small underground clinic.

Even through the thick cement, he could still see the medal he had once won...

Chapter 33 Reincarnation Has Been Completed

Seven years later, we began the mechanization of the population under our group's jurisdiction.

How could a proper capitalist possibly do something as good as providing free prosthetic bodies to people?

He~tui——

Evil capitalists!

Damn company dogs!

This work was contracted out to our subsidiaries, whose research departments were tasked with developing different models of prosthetic bodies.

[For an extra fee, any part of your body can be enhanced or modified.]

Yes, any part of the body!

The camera then deliberately moved down slightly from the human figure diagram.

It wasn't explicitly stated, but the general idea was conveyed.

Men from countless worlds: "..."

Oh no, they really want this!

"This technology is indeed... well... very promising."

"The market? I think it's a common dream among men."

Oh, and by the way, the company also provides loans with an annual interest rate of 20% for citizens who cannot afford the renovation costs.

[It only requires paying off the mortgage for a few hundred more years.]

What? You're saying you don't want to renovate?

The fines that need to be paid are so high that even if you work for 200 years after you die, you still won't be able to pay them off.

【Perfect!】

To accelerate the transformation process, the corporation has established new enhancement and transformation centers on various planets.

Each modification center can accommodate the modification needs of billions of people on that planet.

"A 20% annual interest rate? That's...that's illegal, isn't it?"

"Legal? In the universe, who is the judge?"

"But after death, you'll have to work for 200 years—"

"This is going to drain labor until they die!"

"I see. This company... or rather, this protagonist, Zhi, is not a capitalist. He is—capital itself."

"Capital itself?"

"What is the essence of capital? It is accumulation, expansion, and relentless exploitation."

"And this empire—they turned 'people' into fuel for capital. When they were alive, they were labor; when they died, they were processors for synaptic machines; even their corpses were canned."

"They are no longer human. They are—the personification of capital."

Although various parts of the world are dissatisfied with these capitalists, it must be said that their technological capabilities are indeed top-notch.

[Three years later, in 2373]

This is a day that the entire company should remember.

After more than 50 years of in-depth research, the group has finally succeeded in distorting the laws of reality and modifying the rate at which organisms absorb calories.

In other words, although the organism ingests less food, it obtains more energy!

From then on, the group had one more math problem to solve.

Kids, canned starfish is one of your favorite foods.

A can of delicious starfish contains approximately 1000 calories, while a live adult starfish requires about 3000 calories per day.

So, if the calorie absorption rate is increased by 50%, how many cans of delicious starfish food would an adult live starfish need to eat each day?

Are you devils?

You must be the devil!

Feeding starfish canned food made from the flesh and blood of their own kind?!

This is a routine report from the Group's Research and Development Department.

Our research team has confirmed that the project in which this company invested heavily in research and development has now been declared a complete failure.

Yes, it's hard to accept, but that's the truth.

Although we are trying very hard to change the physical laws of this universe

But any editing of the universe is only temporary.

Any changes we make to the rules will be corrected by an invisible hand.

Just like a system automatically fixing a bug in a program.

Oh, that's right.

Countless worlds breathed a sigh of relief.

The idea of ​​arbitrarily altering the laws of physics sounds absurd, but the fact that the other party has actually done it is already quite frightening.

Fortunately, the world will not allow them to act so recklessly.

But... it's been fixed?

Perhaps this universe is too old, so old that we cannot edit its rules.

If we could travel through the world of black holes and find a new, young universe, with our current level of technology, we could easily change the rules of the entire universe.

We will become gods in the truest sense!

Why do these natural disasters always have to compare themselves to God?

And, traveling through a black hole?

——Doctor Who World——

The doctor is conducting a dangerous investigation deep inside a black hole.

He saw what was displayed on the sky and revealed an extremely subtle expression.
