First appearing before the two men was a picture. The picture showed a very strange mechanical object, similar to a canine, like a high-tech, survival-oriented intelligent robot.

But Damian felt something odd about this robot. He always felt that the thing in the picture wasn't just a simple machine, but a…

A creature!

He found it hard to describe this feeling. Since entering the Raging Breath Island, he had broadened his horizons and seen many novel technologies.

Intelligent robots were not uncommon on Raging Breath Island. From the adult-level Mores onward, they all possessed unique intelligent systems that could independently deal with many emergency situations, already very close to the human brain.

The combat Mores were the most advanced mechanical products Damian had ever seen.

But even the combat Mores gave Damian the feeling of being just a technological body composed of electronic components and steel alloys. The mechanical dog in the picture, however, didn't feel like a lifeless mechanical product, but a living thing!

"It… it has pupils." Damian was silent for a moment, then opened a few other photos. The mechanical dogs in the photos were all the same, only the shooting angles and lighting had changed. Finally, he found the anomaly.

This mechanical dog's eyes were not electronic eyes like those of intelligent robots, but real eyeballs with pupils and retinas, like those of living creatures!

"Yes!" Bai Jingyan said excitedly, "This is a new species composed of a biological brain and a mechanical body. Moreover, its body isn't like those prosthetics for the disabled, which can't make normal movements. Its body is completely controlled by the brain, and can function like normal limbs, and it even has tactile sensation!"

"In simple terms, this steel-forged mechanical body is not only more solid than a flesh-and-blood body, but also has all the characteristics of a flesh-and-blood body. The ancient civilization perfectly integrated biotechnology into technology and combined it to create a new species!"

Damian was completely shocked.

He had never imagined that metal and life could be combined. Was this what some people on the internet called [the weakness of the flesh, mechanical ascension]?

"Before the world changed, the emergence of this technology would only make me think that it could be used to solve the limb defects of some disabled or paralyzed patients. But now, I've thought of more." Bai Jingyan said with a smile, "If the ancient civilization used the fusion of biology and machinery to create a new species, then we can also use this technology to create new equipment!"

Damian became more and more excited as he listened.

This concept was a completely new experience for him, a broader new world. If he could enter it, he would surely achieve greater success!

For technical personnel like Damian, being able to create a new peak in a certain field was their lifelong pursuit. That sense of accomplishment far exceeded any reward.

"Mr. Bai Jingyan, I now invite the Institute of Biological Research and the Ordnance Factory to cooperate!" Damian extended his palm to Bai Jingyan. "Once this project is successful, it will be the common glory of our two departments!"

Faced with Damian's invitation, Bai Jingyan chose to accept directly and decisively. This was the reason he came here.

"I wish us success!" Bai Jingyan shook Damian's hand and said in a deep voice, "Without further ado, let's start now!"
