Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"...Please take good care of me."

The projection is a retro-style coffee shop. Retro style is especially popular in this era. If a building has a retro style in a physical form instead of relying on projection, it is enough to show the identity, background, status and wealth of the owner of the building.

This is a symbol of status and honor.

It's like the luxury goods, luxury cars, and mansions of this era.

"With the continuous improvement in the performance of prosthetic hands and feet, and the excellent effect of projection decoration, prosthetic technology for medical purposes is already common in our lives. However... examples like our guest today, Chairman Izumiya, who has prosthetics for everything except the brain and nerves, are still rare."

"Incredible. Why doesn't everyone hurry up and give up their unfree bodies?"

"Not free...?"

Plato once said, "The body is the prison of the soul." Death is the separation of body and soul. The body is the prison of the soul, its shackles. This quote comes from the Analects of Plato.

Phaedo is one of Plato's works.

It mainly focuses on the analysis of finite and infinite.

In his works Phaedo and The Republic, Plato argued that the Forms are absolute, and that the "Great Form" is absolutely great and cannot be combined with the "Small".

Opposing ideas are separate and incompatible. However, the Sophist states that the most common "kinds" (ideas or categories) of opposition, such as "being" and "non-being," "movement" and "stillness," and "sameness" and "difference," are interconnected.

Police station.

The entrance and exit of the executive officer's isolation area.

Behind Yan was the Self-Reliant Machine, whose identity was rather special—both an Enforcer and a potential criminal. Yan didn't care at all about the Self-Reliant Machine's presence; if he wanted, this toy-like contraption could be reduced to ashes at any moment, and even the world itself could be destroyed.

Destroying something is very simple; that's how Yan feels.

but--

He did not want to be destroyed.

"I'm a little unhappy... Mr. Yan."

"It's nothing, you're overthinking it... This little thing... can it affect my mood?" The independent machine reacted to the 'little thing' and moved closer.

Yan suddenly wanted to actually destroy this piece of junk, but Tsunemori Akane stopped him.

"What do you want to do all of a sudden? Honestly!" Tsunemori Akane pouted and puffed out her cheeks. This playful and angry gesture and expression, which was quite in line with the girl's age, was very cute.

Yan always felt that this girl needed to be protected.

She's like a younger sister.

"……Excuse me."

"...?"

Tsunemori Akane was outside the agreement, so why should she apologize? Besides, apologizing has never been Yan's style. However, what Tsunemori Akane cared about most was that she clearly felt Yan was troubled, but she didn't know what his troubles were. She really knew too little about this man.

A voice inside the girl's heart always yearned to get closer to him, understand him, help him, and protect him. At that moment, Tsunemori Akane suddenly blushed. He remembered the virtual AI's words—could it be a date?

Dating?

of course not.

But if it were a date, that would be so wonderful. This was something Tsunemori Akane wouldn't even dare to dream of; it was an impossible, blissful happiness.

"An executive officer cannot walk alone on the street."

"Oh, yes. No, please don't mind. I'm interested too."

Tsunemori didn't seem to make Yan feel uncomfortable at all. He started the car and spoke as he spoke, while the news broadcast resumed.

Should I close it?

"No, it's okay, it's really okay."

The president of the Beijing Internet Construction Association – Quan Gongsi.

It must be said that this is a legendary figure. This man has done countless jobs, such as large-scale overseas construction projects and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Nona Tower project.

During the chaotic period when the global economy completely collapsed, it was also Semiyaji who directed the on-site redevelopment project in Tokyo.

He played a huge role at the time and could be considered an indispensable figure, which shows how legendary this man's experience was.

Such a talent is one in a million.

Why did he step down from the front line?

No one knows about this, but even after stepping down from the front line, his popularity remains undiminished. After all, he has a unique body, a mechanical body—artificial organs and artificial blood, and a large number of molecular motors operating simulated cells that enable his body to function.

Even more outrageous is...

The surface of the Kylian's face and body is composed of extremely sophisticated polymer compounds, so it can be said that Sengguji is an incomplete human.

mechanical.

No.

No.

Humans?

It's also somewhat subtle.

Most importantly, Semumiya's brain and nerve bundles were transplanted from his previous body. His brain and body's control systems are wirelessly connected. Neuronal signals are instantly digitized, and artificial muscles can respond to commands much faster than the "flesh." All of this is to accomplish everything more efficiently, except that the brain and nerve bundles have been completely mechanized.

In this era, the mechanization of the human body is no longer a theoretical concept, but has become a mature technology.

Although there are still various challenges to overcome in mechanizing the brain and nerve bundles.

The process of human mechanization is also progressing very slowly.

After all, humans have always had this body since birth and throughout their evolution, so their resistance to mechanization is understandable. This is especially true for the older generation, who are less accepting of mechanization. Even among the younger generation, most people are more inclined to observe and protect anything with more than 50% mechanization, rather than actively participating.

“I’m over 100 years old. But I’m finding more and more joy in life. Overcoming aging can be so wonderful… I don’t think my body, which doesn’t accept the mechanical world, can understand that.”

"However, even with the latest technology, the brain's lifespan is only around 150 years. Even with the complete mechanization of the brain, a mountain of unresolved problems remain..."

"The injection of neurotrophic factor into the basal layer of the brain is necessary. My brain has about 50 years left to live. I hope to make a breakthrough during that time."

"If there is any progress..."

“Yes, the era of fishing has arrived.” Sengyuji nodded with a smile. “They say that one’s body has become like a person. Isn’t it about time that humans started to resemble gods a little more?”

"...The survey shows that most people answered that they 'feel resistant' to the idea of ​​prosthetics covering more than half of their body. The report also shows that there is a stronger aversion to prosthetics on healthy organs that are not being repaired due to illness or injury."

"I understand the feelings of those who are resistant. That's precisely why I need to make this statement in a public setting..."

"Thank you so much."

"The result is still a matter of degree... In the view of the British thinker Thomas Hobbes, human beings are like machines with an engine running as their heart. This is a mechanical theory of motion."

"That's very philosophical."

"Isn't it incredible that I, with my entire body cybernetically enhanced, am talking about philosophy?"

"How could that be? No..."

"For example, you...you are also an excellent prosthetic body."

"But I did not use a prosthetic hand, prosthetic foot, or artificial organs."

"Are you carrying any intelligence terminals?"

"Yes, everyone carries one."

"What about the costumes and accessories?"

"of course."

"And then there are home automation systems and AI assistants... What would happen if all this data were suddenly lost due to a disaster or accident?"

"Well... until I recover, there's nothing I can do."

Do you remember your friends' or family's phone numbers? What about your company's number?

"..."

"Where is my Social Security number?"

"……Do not."

"Due to some mechanical malfunctions, although it was only temporary, you lost your social function. Given that your life is so reliant on electronic devices, it's hard to believe you're not a prosthetic body. For you, carrying an intelligence terminal is practically a second brain. Isn't that right?"

In fact, scientists proposed the phenomenon of human intelligence decline a long time ago.

In 1905, psychologist Binet Alfred and his students developed the world's first intelligence scale. The following year, this scale was introduced to Stanford University in the United States, where it was revised and improved, and subsequently spread throughout the world, developing into several systems.

Some statistical and experimental data can support the idea that brain size determines intelligence. For example, the brain size of apes is only 400ml~500ml, Java Man is about 900ml, and the average brain size of modern humans is 1,400ml~1,600ml.

However, brain size does not appear to be the sole determinant of intelligence. According to Dr. Harvey's records, Einstein's brain weighed 1,230 grams, significantly lower than the modern average of 1,400 grams. Furthermore, after Lenin's death, medical autopsies recorded that his brain weighed only 1,340 grams, also below the average human brain size.

"...Indeed, it feels like a part of the body in life."

"The history of science is the expansion of human bodily functions; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the history of human mechanization... so it's a matter of degree."

……

On the highway, the car sped along. At this point, the car was completely autonomous and did not need a driver at all, except that a driver's seat was still retained.

Tsunemori Akane was in the driver's seat, while Yan was in the passenger seat.

Their vehicle had entered Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture.

Leaving the highway, we arrived at a narrow path in the forest.

This is the outskirts of Chichibu City, where there are hotels and other facilities. Deep in the forest is a private territory. When Tsunemori Akane looked up, she saw a surveillance camera. In fact, it was a dense network of surveillance cameras, with no blind spots in any corner.

After parking, they arrived at a building. The building was old and lifeless, lacking any sense of vitality.

Press the call button.

"Hello, I am Lin Yan."

"Hello, please wait a moment..."

Tsunemori Akane glanced around, then lowered her voice and said, "They've hardly used environmental projection at all..."

There's a reason she's so curious. There's almost nowhere in this world that isn't covered by projections, just like how this era is almost entirely covered by the internet. People have no resistance to projections anymore; in fact, they've become incredibly dependent on them.

Projection technology has become indispensable in every aspect of life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation.

The owner of this building seems to be quite the opposite.

"He hates these things."

The door opened with a click.

This was a middle-aged man with sharp features but a scruffy, unkempt beard. No one would ever guess that he was once a professor at a university; the difference was simply too great.

"...It's been a long time, Professor Saiga."

"Don't call me professor anymore, Yan... Do you think the university system has been abolished for many years?" Professor Saiga said. The university system no longer exists in this era, and Professor Saiga is one of the last batch of professors. He has also accepted that he is no longer a professor.

Saiga glanced at Tsunemori Akane, who was standing next to En.

"This lady..."

"Nice to meet you. I am a police inspector, Tsunemori Zhu. Please take good care of me today."

"Come in, welcome."

It's more accurate to call it a study than a residence.

The building was filled with piles of books, old printed books, a civilization abandoned by this era. There were also even older DVDs. These books were Zaga's treasures, extremely valuable.

There was a very simple leather sofa on the side.
