Becoming the Mother of Machines [Everyone's Favorite]

When Ling woke up, she found herself floating in a huge glass tank. She opened her mouth, and a string of bubbles escaped. Noticing her movement, a crowd of white-coated staff gathered around the tank. They called her Unit Zero. Every day, several modified humans were brought into the lab and connected to her through various interfaces. Some were descendants of top financial magnates; some were advanced intelligent machines guarding the country's core systems; and others were humanoid weapons belonging to mysterious organizations. Without exception, they were tall, long-legged, and stunningly beautiful. The white coats said it was her duty to "upgrade" them. Ling had no memories, but she wasn't stupid. Her body grew weaker and weaker. When they finally decided to extract slices of her brain tissue for human experimentation, Ling silently pulled a fifty-meter-long broadsword from behind her back. * This is a world where people ascend through machinery, and most people you see on the street have undergone mechanical modifications. After escaping the lab, Ling walks down the street on an empty stomach. She looks at other people's gleaming arms, then at her own thin, cheap arms, which have only their basic factory settings. Ah, escaping poverty starts with upgrading your hardware (fist clench)! An Ling, the artificial intelligence of the national security system, sees Ling through a street-corner surveillance camera. He's confused. She's clearly a female modified human with only 20% mechanical augmentation. So why does he want to call her: "Mother." Tips: 1. The heroine is human, and there is a male lead. Lots of one-sided crushes. 2. My take on a sci-fi world, where everyone ascends through machinery. 3. The cover character is from a stock image available to multiple people. Artist: Jieming. 4. I work every day, and I'll do my best to write three chapters a day! Theme: A free person can go wherever they want.
