House Witch Chapter 525

Chapter 525 524. Abrasion and Reincarnation

Mechanical reincarnation, as the name suggests, is a special technique for reincarnating human beings into machines.

And this technology is not only an important part of Dorothy's creation plan, but also a pre-technology that must be selected before the decisive battle with the final disaster beast Leviathan.

After all, the witches need to fight Leviathan after the world is completely destroyed. That is to say, the old world will be considered destroyed at the time of the decisive battle.

And weak human beings are not capable of surviving in such a completely dead world, let alone fighting.

The flesh and blood are weak, and the machinery soars.

Compared with the mechanical body, the human body really has no superiority at all. Humans have to eat and breathe in order to live, and there are three urgencies, and they are afraid of cold and heat, and their whole body is weak.

The mechanical body is much more convenient. Even on the wreckage of a dead world where humans cannot survive at all, the mechanical body can still stand firm and fight tenaciously to the last moment.

They don't feel bitter, and they don't know how tired they are. As long as they have enough energy, they don't need to eat or sleep. Because there is no pain, they don't fear injury. Even if they are seriously damaged in battle, they can go back to the factory and replace them. Spare parts are another good guy.

Isn't this combat power much stronger than the weak human body?

Of course, even now, the Sorcerer Republic already has almost the same mechanized human body transformation technology, such as prosthetic body transformation, magic outfit transformation, or the heroic spirit weapons used by the heroic spirits, etc.

But each of these technologies can only be regarded as transformation, not reincarnation. These are completely two concepts.

To understand the difference, it is necessary to mention the connection between the body and the soul.

All intelligent creatures, whether they are humans or elves, have dwarves or something, they all have the same composition, they all have a body and a soul at the same time, and speaking of the soul, in fact, everyone's soul structure is similar, there is no difference.

The reason why there are humans, elves, and dwarves is because everyone's body structure is different. The reason why humans are humans is because the human body gives humans such a clear self-cognition.

Then the question is, if you put a human soul into the body of an elf, is this newly born existence a human or an elf?

Regarding this question, the witches once conducted experiments. They threw the soul of a fanatical human supremacist into the body of an elf, and then observed his reaction.

At first, after the man just woke up and realized he was a different race, he was very angry, firmly believed that he was a human, and he shouted that race is the same as gender, not just biological characteristics, but more importantly, it depends Inwardly, as long as he firmly believes that he is still a human being, then he is human.

However, after this person returned to the human empire in his hometown, he was guarded and excluded in every possible way by his fellow human beings. He went to the world of elves and easily integrated into the elves. Slowly, this person's cognition began to occur. changed.

He is no longer the fanatical human supremacist, and he is not so repulsive to elves, especially when he met a gentle and beautiful female elf in the elves, and after the two started a family, his position began to change. more pronounced deflection.

Even at the later stage, when the elf tribe fought against the human empire, this person directly chose to stand on the side of the elves, and he began to wave his weapon towards the former motherland.

From that moment on, the result of the experiment was obvious, he was no longer a human being, but had become a real elf.

As long as I still firmly believe that I am human, then am I human?

There is some truth to this statement, but the problem is that human cognition is never static. What you believed in at the last moment may be overthrown by yourself the next moment.

It is similar to the "wear and tear" of growth discussed by Dorothy and Adam. The "wear and tear" brought about by changing the identity of the race is much more severe than the growth.

Maybe there are people who can survive such an experiment and always firmly believe that they are still human beings. For example, Dorothy thinks that her old father Adam can easily pass the experiment. The mysterious persistence, he is really able to do it, he would rather face death and reincarnation, than not be a human being.

But such people are destined to be rare, and the vast majority of people can only drift with the tide, and eventually forget their original intentions in this subtle wear and tear, and are completely assimilated.

Although the human heart, or consciousness, or wisdom, or self is hidden in the soul, it does not mean that it is only affected by the soul, and the body also has a considerable degree of influence on it.

After all, the body will affect the shape of the soul, and the soul will convey this transformation to wisdom.

Therefore, the difference between transformation and reincarnation comes out.

No matter how much you transform, you are still a human being, but once you are reincarnated, you will no longer be a human being.

However, there is a limit to transformation.

In recent years, prosthetic bodies have become very common in the Sorcerer Republic, and they are not even considered a trend, but have become a necessity in people's lives.

Even though the prosthetic body was originally invented to help the disabled to return to normal life better, but with the advancement of technology, the function of the prosthetic body is also rapidly evolving, even surpassing the original body.

The mechanical eye has higher definition, larger and farther field of view, and stronger perception ability than the human eye.

The robotic arm is far stronger and more dexterous and precise than the human arm

Therefore, when a disabled person wears a good prosthetic body and even runs faster and does better than you, a healthy person, who is the disabled person?

Of course, some people may say that it's fine for me not to compare, and it's fine to treat life with a normal mind, but can a person really live without comparing?

Even if you don't compare with others, others will compare with you, or compare you with others, such as work

It's also a food delivery service. Originally, you delivered 100 orders a day, and you were the king of food delivery in your area. Other than you, everyone else only delivered 90 orders a day at most. Therefore, you are often praised by the boss, and you get a small bonus from time to time.

But suddenly the second place in the 90 order was in a car accident while delivering food one day, and his leg was crippled, and then a pair of prosthetic legs were replaced. From then on, he ran beyond the limit of human beings, so, relying on the strength of the prosthetic limbs, he is now relaxed every day 200 singles, you changed from the first place to the second place, how do you feel?

Well, the second place is also very good, it is still very good, life should be lived, anyway, you have nothing to lose, other people's life is better, you are happy for him.

Then, when the third place saw how good the second place's prosthetic body was, he gritted his teeth and replaced his original intact leg with a prosthetic body?

At this time, how do you feel when you are surpassed and become the third place?

After the fourth, fifth, and finally, what do you do after everyone has put on prosthetics?

What should you do when the recruitment of the express delivery industry directly requires the implantation of leg prostheses?

Involution is everywhere.

Fortunately, in the Republic of Magic, because the Mechanic Cult controls all mechanical monks and even prosthetic doctors, the review of prosthetic body modification surgery is very strict, so the situation has not deteriorated to that extent.

But the situation in the Kingdom of Glory on the other side is completely different. Prosthetic bodies are flooding there, transformations are rampant, and even if you want to find a normal job, you have to loan yourself a full-body prosthetic body first. Renovation, before you have a job, you will directly bear the astronomical debt that will have to be repaid for decades in the future.

Even because your prosthetic body has fallen behind in a few years, and you can't get along with your colleagues, you will face the risk of being laid off, and you have to take out a loan to replace it with a higher-level prosthetic body, which in turn will lead to heavier debts.

I don't know how many people there have had implanted prosthetic bodies taken away to repay the debt because they couldn't repay the loan, and they became disabled and lived on the streets, relying on begging for a living.

Prosthetics, a technology that was supposed to benefit mankind, has now become a source of pain for those people.

Why do the people of the Kingdom of Radiance believe in the Radiance Sect so devoutly and are hostile to the Sorcerer Republic? A large part of the reason is that the prosthetic body technology came from the Magic Republic, and they created this "taboo" technology, thus turning the world into purgatory.

The people over there don't hate the rich and powerful and companies that oppress them, but they hate technology itself, even if they can't do without technology, but this doesn't stop them from hating and even cursing Mechanicus and Magus who brought technology to this world republic.

Well, the people over there really believe from the bottom of their hearts that technology is the technology of the devil, an evil technique that lures humans to degenerate and thus bear their sins.

After all, the vast majority of cyborgs who implanted too many prosthetic bodies did not end well. Almost all of them went crazy, as if they were possessed by demons, and they were no longer what they were originally. Kill people indiscriminately on the street and create all kinds of destruction.

And this symptom is called "soul-eating disease" in the kingdom of glory, which means that their souls have been swallowed by demons.

Similarly, because of the existence of soul-phagia, more people believe that prosthesis is a technology of demons, and the people of the Kingdom of Glory, who are afraid of soul-phagia, are afraid of the only glory that can give them "salvation" from soul-phagia The religious beliefs are more pious.

But, actually?

The so-called soul-eating disease is just because those guys overwhelmed and completed the safety threshold of "transformation". They forcibly carried out the transformation beyond the limit of their own consciousness, which eventually led to the collapse of self-cognition.

After all, you only have prosthetic hands and legs, and you can still firmly believe that you are human, but when your whole body is transformed except for the brain, and even the brain, can you still be so convinced that you are human?

Back then, you were more of a robot than a human, right?

This is already a basic reincarnation into a robot.

So, under this self-doubt that builds up over time, eventually, your spirit will break down, your sense of being human will collapse, and you will start to feel like a robot.

In this era, there are also real robots, and many of them are engaged in some of the most difficult and tiring tasks that no one is willing to do. Generally speaking, they are no different from slaves.

So as an "awakened" robot, what would you do if you saw "compatriots" enslaved by these "alien races" all over the street?

Well, some people may still turn a blind eye to it, or take it easy, while those who are a little bit more determined will probably want to "liberate" their compatriots on the spot.

Of course, it is also possible that the thinking is more extreme and collapses to the point where there is no logic at all.

Therefore, before the apocalypse, there are often "soul-eating patients" making troubles in the Kingdom of Glory God, and there are often some so-called "robot human rights organizations" in their country, shouting every day that robots are also human beings, and robots should also have human rights and wages , want a vacation or something?

These confusing behaviors are full of question marks in the eyes of normal people. What's the point of paying the machine wages and taking a holiday?

But in the eyes of those potential "soul eaters", they are serious. They are fighting for the interests of their "compatriots". This is noble and great, and it is directly standing on the commanding heights of morality.

Well, after all, although these people did not eventually lose control, their mental condition is actually a mental illness that is basically a human category.

Psychopaths have a lot of fun, which is perfectly normal.

The Witch World prohibits interbreeding with other natural disaster races mainly to guard against the impact of such a change of identity. After all, who knows which side these hybrids will eventually allegiance to.

Even powerful witches are so taboo about such wear and tear. From this we can see that the risk of such "reincarnation" is obvious.

Of course, this so-called soul-eating disease is not really hopeless, it is still possible to avoid it.

And these two solutions are nothing else, they are the two main forces of the Sorcerous Republic today, the Magic Knight and the Armed Heroic Spirit.

The magic outfit of the magic outfit knights is actually a kind of prosthetic body to put it bluntly, but it is a more advanced prosthetic body, but the magic outfit knights rarely suffer from soul-eating disease.

This is because the threshold for magic costume knights is very high, and the review is strict, and the next step of magic costume evolution is allowed only if the spirit reaches the standard.

Therefore, the magic knights are actually taking the path of Adam. As long as my personal will is firm enough to not be afraid of wear and tear, then I will naturally resist the impact of reincarnation.

And the armed heroic spirits took another path. Although the personal will of the heroic spirits is not weak, they are definitely not as strong as the knights in magic suits, but such they can control the fully mechanical armed bodies. To move without wear and tear, it is because someone helped them resist the wear and tear.

This is also the method used by the Radiance Sect to fool the people. They claim that the power of God can resist the "curse of the devil". In fact, they use the power of belief of the believers to stabilize an anchor point for those out-of-control people whose self-awareness has collapsed.

The same is true for the heroic spirits. They are worshiped and admired by all the people of the Sorcerous Republic. The people believe that they are all heroes and good people.

Perhaps their personal consciousness will be shaken by the wear and tear of reincarnation, but as long as the stamp of faith is still there, they will not forget who they are and what mission they have.

Of course, although this approach looks beautiful, it is actually nothing more than fighting fire with fire.

After all, reincarnation wears people out, so doesn't faith?

Heroic spirits are no longer human beings. They are more heroes of the Sorcerous Republic. They have long been worn out by such beliefs and have long since become the appearance of beliefs.

Therefore, except for the earliest batch of heroic spirits at the beginning, the Sorcerous Republic has never increased heroic spirits on a large scale since then. Everyone who meets the conditions for boarding the Heroic Spirits Monument will first ask for his opinion. Can you accept that? Wear and tear, are you willing to be a hero who guards the motherland and the people even if you are worn out?

Although this kind of inquiry can basically only get one answer, after all, it is basically impossible for those who can meet the requirements to be on the Monument of Heroes to refuse. They have already sacrificed their lives for the motherland and the people once, are they still afraid of the second time?

They are all true Heroic Spirits.

Of course, apart from these two methods, there is one last method, that is, as long as everyone is insane, then there will be no insanity?

Well, as long as all human beings collectively turn around and become robots, then in fact, everyone is not human, and there is just a brand new omnic race.

And that's what Dorothy wants to do next.

Under normal circumstances, this road is a dead end. After all, if you want to reincarnate collectively, you have to obliterate the whole world first.

But isn't that abnormal now? This is the end of the day, and everyone will die sooner or later.

Then, flesh and blood are weak, so let's ascend mechanically.

Mechanical reincarnation.
