"Nicholas, the letter has already stated.

Due to the "android-biomass data" you provided during the cooperation period and the various parameters of the brains of some out-of-city life, the progress of our work has been qualitatively improved.

I have instructed the high-ranking engineers in the Church to develop a separate power armor for you to use in the Great Expedition.

But...... The armor is still undergoing final stability testing.

Inspections can take several hours. Since you're here early, I'd like to ask you to take a tour of our various labs here. ”

"No problem."

"By the way, the research on living organisms in your lab seems to be progressing quite well recently?"

"It all depends on the steam dynamics experimental data provided by Mr. Newton and the related confidential papers...... The results are good, but if there is a huge progress, it is far from it.

It was just a bit of 'superficial' fusion, and there was no uncontrollable rejection for the time being. ”

"Haha! I'm just giving you experimental data at the human level.

The "transformation technology" that has been mastered in just a few months can also be effectively applied to other types of lifeforms, and I really hope that you chose our Steam Knights in the first place.

Let's go, come with me to the church lab for a tour, and I hope you can give some useful advice. ”

"No problem."

When Han Dong had a conversation with Newton, who was in this posture, his face was as usual.

You must know that Mr. Newton is a god-level existence within the Mechanicus Cult, and even some high-ranking priests and church hosts look respectful when they talk to Newton.

This also made the Jonathan knight, who was in charge of leading the way, break out in a cold sweat, glad that he suppressed his anger, otherwise everything would be over.

……

Officially enter the [Sacred Ring].

This is the second largest building in the Steam City after the "Steam Pillar".

Between the walls of the Ring is a 'capsule-shaped' single mobile vehicle, allowing church personnel to quickly reach any area.

However, Han Dong does not need to ride in this kind of vehicle.

As Mr. Newton raised his hand, a drop of "liquid gold" was peeled off from the surface of his body, and through expansion and plasticity, it turned into a metal chair that perfectly fit Han Dong's body.

"Atomic spacing is self-retracting?"

"I didn't expect you to dabble in physics, Nicholas, if you can join the [Mechanicus God Cult], I will definitely promote you to [High Priest] as soon as I come, and also serve as the vice president of the Biology Society."

"Haha."

Han Dong could only respond with laughter.

After all, he is not a member of the Steam Knights, and according to the rules, if he crosses the Knights, he will not be able to hold important positions...... No matter how much Newton looks up to Han Dong here, it is useless.

"If Newton has anything to say...... I would be happy to assist after all, my husband's time is precious. ”

"Yes, there is indeed one thing that requires your 'knowledge assistance' in inviting you here this time...... However, this matter involves the fundamental interests of my Mechanic God Cult, the Knights of Steam, and even the Lord of Gold, and it is also classified as a high secret.

Therefore, before telling you about the relevant things, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance. ”

As the agreement paper was delivered to Han Dong, the latter's brow immediately furrowed.

“…… It turned out to be this matter, and I had heard some rumors before. ”

"Make the most of it.

Although, from a humanitarian point of view, a little bit cruel. But it also helped these poor knights to realize the chivalry they had sought all their lives.

It also allows them to take a look further afield.

Rather than die in an unknown place, it is better to die on the battlefield as a knight and let their fame live on in the Holy City forever. ”

Han Dong didn't make any comments, and signed his name in the lower right corner.

"Well, the main problem at the moment is [brain manipulation].

The parliament's oversight in this area is also quite strict.

The handling of the Dead is occasionally up to standard, but there is no guarantee that it will pass the Holy City's audit 100% of the time.

At that time, the Great Expedition will also lose a large number of combat power.

Such a dead soldier army is of great significance to the Great Expedition...... At the beginning of a large-scale war, it will minimize the mortality rate of our sergeants and effectively collect information about the enemy. ”

"Well, I'll do my best."

Due to Mr. Newton's guidance, the censorship along the way was omitted one by one, and I went directly to the [Temple Area] where secret experiments were being conducted.

A large number of fallen knights, who had been imprisoned in Thal Prison, were secretly escorted here for an experimental study called the "Brain Resurrection Death Rehabilitation Project".

At its root, it is a 're-brain' technology of unknown origin.

The principle is to completely kill the brains of the fallen knights.

Pollutants also become easy to peel off as the brain dies...... Five minutes after brain death, the pollutants can be completely eliminated through 'steam brainwashing'.

The next step is to reinvigorate the brain, by embedding a set of micron-sized gears with a fixed structure in the cerebellar area to construct a reincarnation array, which can be externally activated through the rituals in the church.

'Brain Recovery' will allow a Fallen Knight to completely free himself from the effects of pollution.

As for their completely distorted bodies, they will also be completely removed through surgery and replaced with "mechanical bodies" that match their natural abilities.

But...... There is an unsolvable problem with this technology.

Once a living body falls into a state of brain death, the brain will undergo irreversible changes, a large number of brain cells will begin to decompose due to oxygen supply problems, and various functional areas will also be in a permanent 'state of chaos'.

Brain recovery can restore the basic functions of the brain, but its consciousness layer is still chaotic.

Primal desires will no longer be restricted, gushing out from the depths of the brain...... As a result, these reincarcerated dead will be "aggressive" towards any form of life.

In a way, it is very similar to 'zombies'.

Currently, the Cult of the Mechanicus is trying to gain control of the Restored Brain in a variety of ways.

For example, the built-in intelligent AI system, or the implantation of a control interface in their head for human control...... However, these methods are restrictive, and sometimes they can still be "out of control".

Zizizizi!

Large gears turn, layers of copper doors lowered.

More than 100 mechanical engineers, priests, and priests are working day and night, and hundreds of proposals have been proposed, then rejected.

However, Han Dong's eyes were not on these researchers and the mountains of paper.

Instead, he stared at the center of the [Temple Area], a large circular storage area shrouded in glass.

The Special Forces, the "Brain Dead", are all concentrated.

The torso has been replaced with a steam-powered adaptive mechanical body, with the skull retained.

However, this scene is different from what Han Dong imagined.

The knights who raised the contamination through brain restoration did not succeed in transforming into humanoid resurrectants, but became a kind of monster...... Overly manic monsters.

Due to mania, the upper and lower lips are completely bitten.

The structure of the mouth is completely exposed.

The face is hideous, and the head hits the thick glass of the storage area in an attempt to alleviate the confusion in the brain.

In addition to the impact sound, there is also a high-frequency sound of teeth grinding.

Crunch crunch~!

All of the Brain Dead are rubbing their teeth quickly and orderly at all times, deliberately sharpening their teeth to make them more convenient to nibble on their targets.
