"Adam, is it?"
On the deck of the Dawn warship, the long sword that was on the neck of the android Adam was slowly lowered. Jigoku Yoshiichi lowered his head slightly, looked at the slightly thin "boy" in front of him, and asked.
There was something wrong with Adam's condition. His originally wheat-colored skin had now turned red, and white mist was coming out of his body, like boiling water.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not treat Adam as a tool, but talked to him as a normal human being.
However, Adam's language ability did not seem to be developed by Vegapunk. In response to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's question, the android Adam simply raised his head as a response.
Seeing this scene, Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and then, the words of Vegapunk came from the badge on Adam's chest:
"Yuichi, Adam's ability to perceive language is still relatively superficial."
"His destructive power is simply too great. In order to avoid causing trouble for us, he can only understand the most basic commands."
"Although he looks just like a human, in essence, Adam is not a human, but a cyborg."
"His ability to think only comes into play during combat."
"He doesn't understand what you said."
A powerful "new weapon" was born. As the inventor, Vegapunk's most important thing was not to shape cyborgs like Adam into the same as humans.
It is hard to say that independent thinking has no disadvantages when it comes to "weapons".
The power of a weapon is certainly important, but for the weapon user, the most important thing is whether the weapon is under control.
Just like Adam standing in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni at this moment, Adam, who has no thoughts and only obeys orders, is a qualified weapon.
Inhumane. But it is indeed the best way for Vegapunk to protect himself and the researchers on the island.
"It has no thoughts of its own. Is it just a mere weapon?"
"Wearing a weapon that looks like a human, this is really..."
At the moment of learning the truth, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni didn't know what to say for a moment. It must be said that Vegapunk's research results really challenged Yuichiro Tsuchikuni's worldview.
The way Adam and Sanji use their bloodline factors is very different. The Vinsmoke family at most uses bloodline factors to transform the genes and bloodlines of their offspring, strengthening their abilities suitable for combat. At the same time, it also weakens the genes of their offspring's emotional perception, allowing those children to adapt to combat faster.
After all, children like Sanji are still human beings, at best they are humans with extraordinary talents.
But Adam is different. He is a pure product of technology. Everything about his body comes from laboratories and culture dishes. Even his brain is not the result of natural development, but is specially manufactured by Vegapunk.
Such existence is actually difficult to simply encompass with the general concept of human beings.
If Sanji can be called an ordinary human being, then Adam is at best a purposefully cultivated "organ", except that this "organ" has more complete functions.
"Yuichi, hurry up and get to the island."
"Help me bring Adam back."
"Fighting with you, Adam's body functions have reached critical point. If he moves recklessly, he will be 'broken'."
"Please help me get him back to the island."
Compared with Jiguo Yuan, the mad scientist Vegapunk was much more indifferent. To him, products like Adam were pure tools and could be described as "broken".
Generally speaking, when describing humans, we only use words like sick and weak.
In Vegapunk's eyes, Adam was no different from those machines, and there was no emotion between the two.
"good."
In response to Vegapunk's request, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi naturally agreed and waved to his subordinates behind him, signaling them to return to their respective posts.
After dispersing the subordinates who were watching the fun, Yoriichi also looked at Adam carefully. Adam, who noticed Yoriichi Tsugakuni's gaze, also looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni with an expressionless face. There was focus in his pupils, but Yoriichi could not see any emotion in the other's eyes.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, but in Adam's eyes, there was a dead silence.
"Artificial Human"
"pacifist."
"It's a little bit unacceptable!"
After staring at Adam for a long time, Ji Guoyuan rubbed his eyes, walked to the bow of the ship, and looked towards the direction of Danjian Island.
Under Vegapunk's management, the appearance of Egg Point Island has changed a lot compared to the last time Ji Guoyuan came.
Originally, only the dozens of hectares of land in the center of Egg Tip Island was Vegapunk's laboratory, but now, from a distance, the entire Egg Tip Island has become a futuristic technology city.
Except for a circle of green space on the outermost edge of the island, the forests and vegetation elsewhere on the island have long been replaced by towering concrete buildings.
There are no open ports on the island. All of them have become docks of unknown functions. The gates of the docks are closed, and you can't see what is inside the docks at all.
If an ordinary person came to Danjian Island, he would not even be able to find a place to land.
Under the guidance of Vegapunk, the warship Dawn sailed to the No. 2 dock on the island. As the warship approached, the gates on the sea were slowly raised, revealing the original appearance of the dock.
This Dock No. 2 is very large, and no one knows what was manufactured here in the past. After the Dawn warship entered, the dock still seemed very empty, and there was no problem parking two more warships of the same size.
After the warship entered the dock, the gates closed and the entire dock became pitch black. The loud noise and unfamiliar environment made the soldiers on the deck nervous.
This unfamiliar shipyard with no way out left these young sailors at a loss for a moment.
Even though they knew very well that they were following Tsugikoku Yoshiichi to pick up the "target person", they still seemed very nervous.
"Mr. Jiguo, is it really okay for us to just come in like this?"
"If they suddenly attack us, we might not be able to leave in a place like this."
On this trip, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's adjutant was the young Robin.
Her beautiful eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness in the dock. Robin looked around and asked Ji Guoyuan who was standing in front of her.
Intelligent and cautious.
Robin was well trained in the new navy, and was steady in his work, which earned him the trust of senior new navy officials such as Tsugumi Yoshiichi.
As for Vegapunk, Robin does not have 100% trust in him like Yoriichi Tsugakuni does. The other party is the world-renowned first scientist of the World Government. Such a person suddenly wants to leave the World Government and the Navy and join the new navy. Unless he has the third eye like Yoriichi, it is really difficult to trust someone like Vegapunk.
"Yeah, no problem."
"Let's go and meet Vegapunk."
"We can't stay on this island for too long. The World Government's surveillance of this island is probably far beyond our imagination."
"If I'm not mistaken, both the Navy Headquarters and the World Government have already learned about our arrival on the island."
"Pick up someone as soon as possible and get out of here quickly."
Although Tsugikuni Yoriichi was confident in his own strength and would not be afraid to fight against the masters of the World Government and the Navy, he knew exactly what his goal was. If he was stopped by a strong opponent, he would be able to escape, but the researchers on the island might not be able to leave safely.
Therefore, if fighting can be avoided, it should be avoided as much as possible.
"yes!"
After hearing what Yunyi said, Robin didn't say anything more about his thoughts. He responded and quickly left to arrange the crew.
Some people followed Yuichiro Tsugikuni to the island, while most people stayed on the warship just in case.
After quickly arranging the tasks of the naval forces, a wooden ladder was lowered from the Dawn warship. Led by Adam, more than a dozen navy officers including Yoshikazu Tsugakuni and Robin walked down the ship, passed through a series of gates, left the dock, and headed towards Vegapunk's experimental base.
In a laboratory on the island.
One of Vegapunk's clones, Shakya, has already left the office, and Yoriichi has already arrived on the island. Vegapunk also has to prepare his things, pack up and leave.
But this kind of thing doesn't require him to do it personally.
At this moment, he was analyzing Adam's combat data with his clones. At the same time, he was trying to use the power of the instrument to analyze the powerful nature of Yoshikazu Tsugakuko.
"A body created solely from the Lunaria family's bloodline is incapable of replicating Tsugikuni Yoriichi's swordsmanship."
"If we want to give Pacifists that kind of ability, we can only create a stronger body."
"It's just that, in this world, I'm afraid there's no one with a more coordinated and powerful body than the Lunalia clan."
"I wonder if using the power of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's bloodline factor can create a stronger body."
After analyzing the various data from Adam's ability tests, Vegapunk finally came to this conclusion. Although he had a preliminary plan for the research direction, Vegapunk did not intend to stick to one thing.
Even he had no way of thoroughly studying the upper limit of human potential.
He had also only studied the basics of the power of bloodline factors.
Not all strong blood can replicate a strong body; humans are still humans. Only certain races have the universality of strong physical talents.
Vegapunk has already thought about it. If Adam's physical functions cannot achieve a breakthrough, he will design a purely mechanical body to replicate Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's movements as much as possible.
If two arms are not enough to achieve sword skills comparable to Yunyi's, then a four-arm design will be adopted. If four arms are not enough, then add two more arms!
The fanatical scientist started to get busy again.
The area of Danjian Island is actually very large. After leaving the dock, Guoyuan and others came to the land under the leadership of Adam and entered the "City of Science and Technology".
The people passing by on the road include not only human researchers, but also various advanced robots created by these scientists. The behavioral logic of these robots is no different from that of ordinary people. They are basically humans with different bodies.
These people, led by Vegapunk, have conducted in-depth research on the robot project and have already successfully given birth to the will of robots. The reason why they do not set restrictions on robots is mainly because robots do not have the ability to pose a threat to humans.
The so-called thoughts and will are actually just the product of the program and are controllable.
This logic is significantly different from that of cyborgs.
Adam's overloaded body had returned to normal after some rest. Vegapunk was about to prepare to leave the island. Using Adam's communication device, Vegapunk asked Yoriichi and the others to explore the island first while he made some preparations.
Vegapunk has already "peeled off" his brain from his body. As his knowledge becomes richer, his head is getting bigger and bigger, which has affected his life. For this reason, he has developed new technology to store his brain in specially developed equipment.
His daily thinking is only possible after connecting the "WiFi" above his head to his brain.
In other words, Vegapunk's real body is also one of his clones.
His true self is actually the "brain" that has been separated from his body.
To a certain extent, Vegapunk has achieved mechanical ascension. As long as his brain is not dead, no matter how damaged his body is, he will not truly die.
Even if the original body dies, as long as a "WiFi" connected to the brain is installed on a cyborg like "Adam", Vegapunk will come back to life!
Walking on the streets full of technology, Jiguo Yuanyi lowered his head slightly, his thoughts flying.
What he saw and heard on Egg Island made Jiguo Yuanyi think of many things. If human thinking can exist independently of the brain, would this be the realization of true immortality?
Yes, equipment will break down, but equipment can be replaced, right?
If the carrier of thought can be replaced, then no matter how the body changes, "I" will still be "I".
How will those in the Holy Land achieve immortality? Will it be the same as Vegapunk's path?
eternal life
Even someone like Yuichiro Tsugikuni would be attracted to such things.
A philosopher once said that so-called eternal life is a curse?!
It's just sour grapes.
Only those who have eternal life are qualified to evaluate eternal life.
Yuichiro Tsugikuni is a man who has died twice, but even so, he still longs for his life to last forever!
"Dr. Vegapunk."
"If the war with the Holy Land develops into a protracted one, your presence will be the key to my victory."
Ji Guoyuan's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he lightly grasped the hilt of the long sword with his hand.
Just as Jiguo Yuanyi expected, when the Dawn warship appeared in the waters around Egg Point Island, the Navy Headquarters and the Holy Land of Marinjoa learned the news at the first time.
The value of scientists of Vegapunk's level is self-evident.
The appearance of one can bring about earth-shaking changes in the world.
The Navy and the World Government have always attached great importance to Egg Island.
The headquarters did not hesitate at all and directly dispatched Admiral Borsalino to rush to Egg Point Island. He was responsible for supervising Vegapunk in the Navy Headquarters and was also the leader of the Navy's scientific and technological forces.
At the same time, the Holy Land also made a big move. Satan, the technological god of war and one of the Five Elder Stars, will go to the New World with Borsalino.
The two led the same fleet to the New World, and their mission was simple: to recapture Vegapunk.
If Vegapunk is "hijacked" by Yoriichi Tsugakuni's new navy and fails to be recaptured, then kill Vegapunk!
Such a person must not be obtained by the new navy!
