Chapter 676 The Ultimate Test of Human Alchemy

Meanwhile, MACUSA.

Unlike most countries where the Ministry of Magic is hidden underground, MACUSA is located in the Woolworth Building. When employees of MACUSA are at work, they even walk into the Woolworth Building together with the "No-Majs" they call them. of the Si Building.

In a sense, the stronghold of MACUSA can be said to be "hidden in the city".

Under the Woolworth Building, there is also a space expanded by the Magical Congress of the United States of America using the Traceless Extension Spell.

However, unlike the office spaces on the surface of the Woolworth Building, the spaces underneath the Woolworth Building are used for some shady research.

It's like...human body alchemy!

In a laboratory about the size of two Quidditch pitches that was expanded by the Traceless Stretch Spell, many alchemists in black uniforms were walking between the alchemical equipment.

With a bit of excitement in their eyes, they looked at the computer-like alchemy equipment in the center of the laboratory.

"Josue, have you successfully made the alchemy chip that can carry the wizard's consciousness?"

An alchemist in black uniform walked quickly through the crowd and came to the slightly younger alchemist who was operating the computer-like alchemy equipment.

The young alchemist named Josue, also wearing a black uniform, turned back, his face full of excitement and joy.

Just listen to Josue saying happily: "Success! Mr. Henry! We succeeded!"

As Josue spoke, he clicked several times on the console of the computer-like alchemy equipment.

As the magic power fluctuation spreads, the surging magic power is absorbed by this computer-like alchemy equipment, and then transformed into more refined computing power, which is used to make the alchemy chip.

Bursts of rumbling sounds came from this computer-like alchemy equipment. Inside this computer-like alchemy equipment, there seemed to be a structure similar to a photolithography machine. Dazzling white lights came from between the gaps in the alchemy equipment. bloom in.

This noisy rumbling sound fell into the ears of hundreds of alchemists in black uniforms in the laboratory, but it was as beautiful as the sound of nature.

They know that this is the culmination of their research for decades, even hundreds of years!

After about fifteen minutes, an alchemy chip with a five-inch edge was slowly spit out from the alchemy equipment.

The alchemist named Josué stepped forward. He picked up the alchemy chip, placed it on the detection instrument, and scanned it several times.

Finally, Qiaosuai raised the alchemy chip in his hand, turned around, and said loudly to his colleagues: "Everyone, our alchemy chip has been successfully developed! Whether it is the upper limit of the chip's carrying capacity or its compatibility with the alchemy armor, , all met the requirements!”

Upon hearing Josue's words, all the alchemists in black uniforms cheered.

However, Qiao Sue's expression turned serious again, and he said: "However, our alchemy chip has a huge drawback."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent and waited for Josue's next words.

Josue said in a deep voice: "According to the test result report, after the wizard uploads his consciousness into this chip, his consciousness will be completely fixed, or in other words, his thinking will be completely anchored!"

"In other words, the consciousness uploaded to the alchemy chip will not be interfered by any external factors, but it will not make any progress. Just like a child whose consciousness is uploaded to the alchemy chip will always be a child. ”

"Even after decades or even centuries of experience, he is still a child. His consciousness will not improve, but it will not wear out. This is a double-edged sword for us."

Josue said so.

After hearing Qiaosue's words, everyone started thinking.

After a while, a voice of doubt appeared, breaking the silence in the laboratory: "A consciousness that cannot progress and is always anchored, is it really human consciousness? In other words, is it uploaded to Alchemy? Is the consciousness of the chip a person? Or a memory aggregate? "

The emergence of this doubt caused many alchemists to think.

But soon, a different view emerged in the laboratory.

"But... isn't our purpose to create a mechanical army that will always be loyal to the Magic Congress and will never die?"

"Yes, in that case, what does it matter whether that consciousness still belongs to a person or is no longer a person but a memory aggregate?"

"Even if the wizard who uploaded his consciousness is dead, as long as he is willing to be loyal to MACUSA at the moment he uploads his consciousness, then no one can shake the idea of ​​a possible 'memory aggregate', right?"

"Yes, in this case, the consciousness in the alchemy chip is a memory aggregate, which seems to be more beneficial than a person's soul?"

"..."

These alchemists in black uniforms were talking a lot.

However, what they care about is no longer whether the wizard who uploaded the consciousness is still alive, but whether the alchemy chip carrying the consciousness can make the conscious body in it forever loyal to the Magic Congress of the United States.

Looking at his colleagues, Josue said softly: "In your opinion, this so-called disadvantage not only has no 'disadvantages', but actually has 'benefits'?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Josue nodded slightly and said: "In this case, let's consider this alchemy chip as a finished product. Then, let us proceed to the next step of the experiment."

After hearing Josue's words, these alchemists in black uniforms all took action.

They knew exactly what the next experiment would be.

That is to let a wizard who has been brainwashed and passed multiple tests such as Legilimency, Veritaserum, and Alchemy Tester to ensure that he is wholeheartedly loyal to the Magical Congress of the United States of America, actively devotes himself to uploading his consciousness to the alchemy chip. middle.

Then... install the alchemy chip into the already completed alchemy armor to test the combat power of the final mechanical soldier!

As early as fifteen years ago, the alchemists in this laboratory had completed the alchemy of the human body except the brain, that is, the alchemy armor created by replacing all the organs of the human body with machines.

Now, the alchemy chip used to replace the brain has been manufactured.

This means that the MACUSA's human alchemy experiment has reached the final stage of testing! (End of chapter)
