Technology: There’s a Factory Inside Me

With his life nearing its end, Lin Chen was ready to die with regrets. But after swallowing a strange energy source, he discovered that it had fused with the cancer cells in his body, triggering an unexpected transformation.

He suddenly developed an intense appetite for all kinds of machinery and technology.

Phones and computers: eat!

Cars: eat!

Planes and rockets: eat!

Oil and nuclear fuel: eat!

And just like that, he became a godlike life-form capable of endlessly fusing with machines! He could turn mechanical structures into parts of his own body. Thanks to his cancer cells, he could reproduce them endlessly and even create powerful new mutations!

Consume a processor, and replace every brain cell with a quantum processor the size of a picometer!

Consume a hard drive, and turn the hippocampus into a super data-storage center!

Consume an electric motor, and turn every muscle and bone cell into a powerful engine!

Consume a nuclear reactor, and create a miniature sun right inside his body!

Consume a rocket, and roam through space in his own flesh and blood!

A monster? No! This is mechanical ascension!

Years later, when an army from a super alien civilization descends upon the solar system, they see Lin Chen, whose gigantic body can shatter an entire star system with a single punch.

Let’s get out of here! Who said Blue Star was only a low-level planetary civilization?
