Rebirth: Divine Machine-Making Master

Chapter 35: A Chance at Immortality

Connecting the human body’s nerves to mechanical nerves using hair and cuticles?

This was something unheard of.

Zate was an expert in mechanics, but he was also stunned by this.

This idea was simply too novel! He had never read about such knowledge from any books.

And the most important thing was, could it be done?

Theory and practice were two different things.

The real situation was far more complicated than one could imagine. For example, were there still living cells in the arm that protruded out?

Zate had to admit that he was impressed with this young man. Elrond had not done anything yet. But if his theory was published, it would definitely cause a sensation in the scientific world.

Should this theory materialize, wouldn’t that mean that people would not die?

If one thought further along the line, the implications were terrifying.

If one had these technical skills, then one would be able to transform oneself into a robot during the final moments of one’s life.

If nerves could be connected seamlessly, would it mean that human memories could also be stored in a medium? And it could be transferred over to another medium at a later stage?

Wasn’t that equivalent to immortality?

In fact, it was.

But Elrond had not reached the level of doing brain transplants yet.

He arranged the materials neatly.

Taking a large piece of meteorite stone, he walked to the furnace. Without any hesitation, he lit up the furnace, and increase the pressure to heat it. Everything was done skillfully.

Finally, he tossed the meteorite iron into the furnace and added various materials into the molten iron.

The order and quantity of materials thrown into the furnace were done at an astounding speed. Moreover, it was in accordance with the temperature of the molten iron.

Everything was done systemically like a machine, without any errors.

While the furnace was burning, Elrond did not idle around. He made all kinds of abrasives. There were the bones of the mechanical arm, the blood vessels, and even the nerves.

“He—”

Mary was stunned.

As there was a time limit of three hours, Elrond had to focus and put all his attention into the production. It was Zate who had gave him this assessment. At the same time, it was also a challenge for himself, so he had to concentrate fully.

The six mechanical arms on his back were summoned, and they operated together instinctively.

Each arm had a different job to work on.

Some did modeling while others filled the molten iron.

More than 40 minutes passed. Tens of thousands of models were set up in a blink of an eye.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They held their breaths in case the models were blown away.

“Please leave this room. These models are very small and a sneeze will blow a few hundred of them away,” Elrond said softly.

The three people who were watching Elrond consciously walked out of the door. However, a gap appeared in the door and the shadows of three heads could be seen. They continued to watch Elrond’s performance from the outside.

“Hair…” Elrond said softly.

Godric tiptoed to Elrond and passed all the hair on his head and body to him.

Elrond put them aside.

Those abrasives were fabricated through special non-forging methods. They were superalloys that could be used regularly, even in the universe.

Just based on Elrond’s talent in making mechanical arms alone, no one could match up to him. Not even the person who created Iron Man.

He placed all the models under the microscope and patiently assembled them with tweezers. Slowly, the prototype of a mechanical arm was created.

Godric’s breathing became a little hurried.

He was a big shot, but his disability had always been his greatest regret.

“Don’t be hasty, Godric. It’s not easy to succeed in making this. If he could do it, it means that he has already broken through mankind’s technological barrier. Why would he want to come here to be an apprentice?” Zate said as his eyes shone brightly.

“Moreover, the power of this mechanical arm is also a big problem. It’s not that easy to solve.”

Unknown to Zate, Elrond had already developed a particle collider.

How big was the small nuclear reactor? The width was only the thickness of a hair, and the length was only the size of a grain of rice.

He managed to develop this impressive thing in just half an hour. This was simply fascinating.

After expending a lot of mental energy, Elrond wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Next was the biggest challenge.

It was to suture the nerves.

“Mr. Godric, please come in.”

“Okay, I’m coming.”

“I’ll tell you a few things that you need to pay attention to. No matter how painful it is, please bear with it because I don’t have much time. And most importantly, you can’t use anesthetics, okay?

“Also, don’t talk, and don’t make any large movements.

“All you need to do is cooperate.

“Also, you need to have a firm will. Think about this. if we succeed this time, you’ll have a new arm that you can control freely.

“If you don’t succeed, then you’ll have to waste more time.

“Do you understand? We are only looking to succeed and not fail.”

Godric became serious and nodded.

Time passed by swiftly.

Elrond completely forgot about time.

In fact, he was also a little nervous.

This mechanical arm was actually his backup plan, which was another means of evolution.

With the help of the system, he could become very powerful.

But he did not choose that path.

Mechanic?

What was a mechanic?

The machinery that was developed had to be perfectly compatible with the human body and it had to display great power in battle. That was what a mechanic was.

The stronger a human body was, the more powerful the mecha would be.

If you let a weakling wear a king level mecha, it would only lead to death. The weakling would die from the mecha’s suction, be tortured to death, or die in different ways.

So, Iron Man’s body was very powerful on its own.

There was another path of evolution. Some future mechanics believed that there was a limit to both human bodies and astral bodies. So it was impossible to evolve indefinitely.

However, everything in the universe was different. There was no limit to things in the universe. The limit was only when something could not be reached. Who could answer what the hottest temperature was?

And could anyone tell what was the coldest temperature?

Someone wanted to say -273.3 degrees.

Elrond wanted to ask what value was -273 degrees. It was an infinite number that was infinitely close but could never be reached.

Therefore, some mechanics simply gave up on their bodies and fused their central nervous system with machinery, completely transforming themselves into robots.

The only physical part of the body that remained was the brain.

In the future, some expert mechanics even stored their memories. They managed to develop a mechanical brain that could perfectly fuse with their memories.

At that level, they would become robots with emotions. Other than memories and thoughts, there were no other human characteristics.

They were not the scariest mechanics.

The scariest mechanics were those who had their consciousness fused with the planet. Just one action and they would be able to destroy the whole planet, killing all the enemies that came to invade them.

By then, the planet would become a living thing.

What Elrond wanted to do now was to become a mechanic. The basic job now was to fuse the body with the machine.

He took out a piece of instrument and said to Godric, “Don’t shout. It might hurt.”

Godric was a little nervous.

Suddenly, a loud “Ah—” was heard.

His shouting could be heard, even from outside the room.
