Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction - Chapter 158

Peter pondered for a long time. He realized that he didn’t understand No. 0’s thoughts. Why did No. 0 insist on becoming a human?

However, since No. 0 had suggested it, Peter could only agree with it. At the very least, this did not hurt Peter. Instead, it could reduce the sudden appearance of No. 0 and cause panic in human society.

“No. 0, I support your idea. You can create a robot body to live with us. However, the biggest problem is safety!”

“You are an high-level artificial intelligence. You also know how the human society treats high-level artificial intelligence. Once you are exposed, my companions and I will become the public enemy of the entire human race! I can’t afford to pay this price. You will also be in danger.”

“Furthermore, if you pretend to be an ordinary low-level intelligent robot, then humans will not treat you as a true companion. Your wish will also be not be realized. Have you thought about these things?”

No. 0 was silent.

In Peter’s high-level artificial intelligence space, the indicator light on No. 0’s body began to operate at a high speed again. Its CPU usage reached 99%.

A few minutes later, No. 0 suddenly shouted happily, “Master, I have an idea!”

…

On the way to the unnamed town, the high-level artificial intelligence No. 0, which was created by aliens, suggested to Peter that it wanted to create a mechanical body to live with humans. It wanted to try to integrate into human society and become a true human. It also wanted to become Peter’s true companion.

Peter was in a dilemma. This was because the identity of the high-level artificial intelligence was too sensitive. If this was not dealt with well, they would become the public enemy of mankind and be hunted by the entire human race.

Peter racked his brains as he drove the smart car.

Meanwhile, No. 0 had also used all its computational resources to find a reasonable way to hide its identity from the database.

Then. No. 0 suddenly shouted, “I have an idea, Master. Look at this.”

Before it could finish speaking, a large amount of information entered Peter’s mind.

“It is a full body of mechanical prosthetic limbs!”

Peter’s eyes lit up.

The mechanical prosthetic limb was first used to deal with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

However, it was unbelievable that humans had not been able to determine the cause of this illness for thousands of years. Thus, treatment was even more impossible.

Later on, as mechanical technology and biological technology advanced, humans finally invented a full body of mechanical prosthetics. Other than the human brain, they replaced all other organs and limbs with machinery.

The human brain was placed in a special nutrient solution that provided the nutrients needed for the brain. Meanwhile, the neurons in the cerebellum and brain stem were connected to the control system of the mechanical body, which controlled the body through neural electrical signals.

This kind of full mechanical prosthetic body didn’t need to eat anything. They just needed to charge their power regularly and replenish their nutrients.

Later on, as the technology became more and more mature, a full body of mechanical prosthetics was now not only used on patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Those whose bodies had been severely injured, older scientists, or even some scientific maniacs or military maniacs would choose to use this method to transform their bodies.

However, there were also limitations to a full body of mechanical prosthetics. Firstly, the manufacturing cost was high. The price of the most ordinary mechanical prosthetic limbs was higher than the cost of one year of treatment in the biological cabin. The bulk of the cost was the medicine used in the surgery and the nutrient solution needed for the brain. Ordinary people could not afford it.

Another problem was that the success rate of the surgery for a full body of mechanical prosthetics was not high. It only had a 20% success rate. In the entire New York Base City, only five doctors could install a full body of mechanical prosthetics.

“Very good. You can create an identity on the Internet. This way, you can live in the human world as a human. Furthermore, no matter how you don’t act like a human, no one will suspect you.”

Peter was also excited.

“However, there’s also a problem. I can handle my identity on the Internet, but I still need a written identity card. After all, the human society is very wary of the mechanical civilization. Therefore, only with a signed and stamped identity card from one of the five doctors can I obtain my full rights as a human without being suspected.”

“I might have to trouble you to talk to the doctor and find a way to get them to give me an identity certificate. They’re the only people in the entire New York Base City who have the qualifications to provide such proof.”

No. 0 was somewhat helpless as it could not do anything about what was happening outside the network. This was also why it wanted a body.

Peter contacted Professor Eugene via his smart device. He felt that Professor Eugene definitely had a way to do so.

As expected, Professor Eugene immediately sent Peter a message.

“No. 0, what do you think this is?”

This was a message from Professor Eugene. It contained a detailed map of a gene conversion device.

“What is this?”

Seeing that No. 0 did not understand, Peter could only tell it.

“This is a consciousness conversion device that can transform your consciousness into a body.”

After all, No. 0 was a high-level intelligent entity. Thus, it quickly understood and looked at Peter excitedly.

“Thank you so much, Master. I’ll be done with my body immediately.”

Peter continued to drive his smart car. At that moment, there was a huge change in his artificial intelligence space. Several robots had been selected from the pile of robots and were quickly broken down into their most basic parts.

The parts of the few robots were fused together and transformed into brand new parts.

Then, these parts began to be reassembled. Ten minutes later, a brand new robot appeared in the space.

Peter was surprised.

“In my artificial intelligence space, I’m a god. I can transform materials at will and form the machinery I want.”

More than an hour later, an assembly point could be seen from afar.

The smart car drove into the parking lot of the unnamed town.

Barker and the others had already been waiting here for a long time. At this moment, Barker was leading them back to their rooms. Behind Barker were Elise and Bela. All of them were present.

Previously, after Peter left the underground fortifications, he used his smart device to contact Barker. Then, he asked Barker to take Elise and Bela to their destination, the unnamed town.

Barker and the others were shocked. This time, peter had left and returned with a smart mecha. Their team had grown again.

Peter greeted everyone. As Bela and Elise were here, he still hid a few things.

Meanwhile, everyone present was shocked. They were not very friendly towards the smart mecha.

Then, No. 0 walked up. This robot gave the people around it a strong sense of oppression. No one doubted its powerful performance.

“Hello, I’m really too excited to see you guys. Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden to everyone.”

…

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Barker and Peter sat in a guest room and talked about what had happened. Peter didn’t hide No. 0’s identity from Barker.
