Chapter 617 Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery ascends? !

"The taboo of alchemy can never cross the realm of God..."

Lin En murmured and couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

That day, Lin En learned from Green that the taboo of alchemy was that it could never cross the realm of God, and that alchemy on the human body was prohibited, but he only knew this, not the reason.

The taboos of magic are time and soul. That is because magic related to time and soul will cause irreparable harm to wizards and cause great harm to the entire magical world.

Unlike the relatively stable time turners, those wizards who used time magic were lost in the long river of time and disappeared from people's sight forever.

This is why there is no overt time magic spread in the magic world. Even if there is, it is all unproven and unsafe magic.

As for soul magic, you can refer to Horcruxes and the three unforgivable curses, all of which are harmful to others and themselves.

Horcruxes require killing people as a condition, and also cut off the wizard's own soul, making the wizard's soul no longer intact. This is an irreparable trauma.

The three unforgivable curses are all black magic that harms the soul. The damage they cause on the soul level is irreversible, and they also have extremely serious backlash on the caster himself.

Even demon-level wizards like Lin En and Irina did not dare to use the three unforgivable curses too frequently.

Horcruxes and the three unforgivable curses are only the most common part of soul magic. As for the more profound soul magic, it is even more taboo among taboos!

There are countless examples that explain why time and soul are taboos in magic.

What about the taboos of alchemy? !

Thinking of this, Linn couldn't help but have some doubts. He looked at Nico in front of him and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Do you want to know why they are taboo in alchemy?" Nico said with a smile. "You can't understand why they are taboo?"

Lynn nodded.

Nico explained: "That is the possible future predicted by the legendary wizard Merlin, and that future that is destined to be unreachable has become a taboo in alchemy."

"The first is human body alchemy. Do you think that if a person completely replaces his body with alchemy, replacing flesh and blood with metal, replacing nerves with alchemical arrays, replacing the brain with Muggle's so-called chips, and replacing each piece with special Functional alchemical creation that replaces various organs of the human body.”

"So, can a person who has been replaced by machinery from head to toe really be considered a human being? As we all know, all gods are mortals, and it is impossible for mortals to achieve immortality, but people who have themselves replaced by machinery, But he gained eternal life in disguise.”

"There are only two possibilities for the emergence of this situation. One is that it is a paradox that mortals cannot live forever. The other is that the person who has completely transformed into an alchemical creation is no longer a human being, but a complete human being. mechanical."

Nico said in a deep voice, he looked extremely serious.

Lin En said softly: "The digitization of the mind means the death of the body in exchange for the immortality of the mind, but that mind is not the soul."

"The flesh and blood are weak, and the machine ascends! In a physical sense, this person is dead, but there is a data body copied from this person's thinking and memory in the world."

"But, is that data body still the same person? No, this person is dead, and the data body that holds this person's memory is just a string of data after all!"

Lynn said so.

Nico said calmly: "Bitter flesh and blood, mechanical ascension? Those madmen who try to break the taboo and try human body alchemy may take this sentence as their belief and do anything for the so-called mechanical ascension."

"But in my opinion, this sentence is just a joke. The body collapses and the soul disappears from the world, but you still think that the copied data is the living self. This kind of existence is not even as good as those magic portraits."

Nico said with a sneer.

Yes, even the portraits of the past principals in Hogwarts Castle have some of the charm of those principals during their lifetimes, and even have their own thinking that can provide suggestions for future generations.

But what about the guys who upload their consciousness as data? !

Their minds were forever frozen in the moment when their consciousness was uploaded, their memories turned into cold data, and even their emotions were lost with the digitization, turning into absolutely rational robots, or artificial intelligence. .

This is not as good as the portraits of the previous principals in Hogwarts Castle!

From Nico's words, Lin En got another piece of information. He asked: "Master, you just said...those lunatics who try human body alchemy? Are there really alchemists who choose to break the taboo and go Are you going to take a path that is even more inhuman than a Horcrux?"

Hearing this, Nico was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Linn's focus to be so strange.

But soon, Nico said calmly: "There is no such thing in the French magic world. I am in charge of France. How can these guys dare to break the taboo of alchemy? But the American magic world is different. In these more than a hundred years, I have I saw alchemists studying human alchemy in the American wizarding world, those lunatics!”

"If it were just some lunatics trying to challenge taboos, it wouldn't be worthy of my attention. However, behind some alchemy research institutes that try human alchemy, I see the shadow of the Magical Congress of the United States of America. This is worth pondering."

Nico said in a low tone.

Shadow of MACUSA? !

Lin En frowned and asked: "Master, when you recently discovered the human alchemy experiments in the American magic world, how far did they go?"

Nico hesitated for a moment, then slowly uttered a few words: "The whole body is mechanized, but the consciousness cannot be uploaded as data."

Full body mechanization...

In other words, except for the brain, which carries the human soul and thinking, those alchemists have transformed their entire bodies into machines and alchemical creations!

Are you pursuing true immortality and powerful power? !

Perhaps more than that, if MACUSA intervenes, then their purpose...

Probably to build an immortal mechanical army!

Reminiscent of the MACUSA's increasingly aggressive attitude at the International Federation of Wizards meetings, Linn felt that MACUSA's actions might be more than what it seemed.

Coupled with the ever-expanding number of Aurors in MACUSA, as well as the human alchemy experiments conducted behind the scenes...

If the human alchemy experiment is successful and the Magical Congress of the United States succeeds in creating an immortal mechanical army, then everything that may happen next is self-evident.

Wage war...

And... rule the magical world!
