The largest mutated creature that could be found on the island—a mutated metal hybrid resembling a wolf and a fox—was pressed onto the testing table that Eve had prepared. Ignoring the creature's struggles, a metal blade that sprang from its right arm sliced directly along its metallized parts.
"The blood composition is also quite abnormal."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi decided against tasting the reddish-black liquid that emitted a pungent smell like a mixture of blood and gasoline, and instead looked at the head of the creature that was gradually losing its ability to struggle.
"The brain still maintains the structure of a living organism... no, or rather, if it weren't a living organism, would it really be considered a 'living organism'?"
As he pondered this, his gaze unconsciously swept toward the silent "doll" waiting to the side.
Based on Lin Yi's knowledge of the transformation between metal and flesh, Eve, who completed the transformation from machine to human with the help of the Rose Mother, is the most perfect example. From skin to internal organs, from flesh to bones, everything is a form that only humans can possess. Since even such an example can be born, then the transformation from carbon-based life to silicon-based life does not seem so unreasonable.
"…Father?"
A cool, clear voice interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts. When she looked up, she met a pair of amber eyes. Because of her emotional limitations, she usually faced the outside world with indifference and passivity, only showing a little initiative when facing her creator.
—Yes, absolutely perfect.
"I need a more suitable sample."
He explained to Eve, who showed a hint of doubt, "The bio-metalization of the creatures on this island is not thorough enough. Perhaps what I need can be found in the sea."
There's no need for a very detailed description; she'll understand anyway.
Unsurprisingly, after receiving Lin Yi's explanation, which was completely baffling to others, Eve nodded gently: "Yes, Father."
Then, under Lin Yi's gaze, a ring of energy appeared behind the girl. The crackling blue current formed a wing-like shape, propelling her body upwards, and she quickly disappeared into the distant sky.
"..."
Lin Yi glanced expressionlessly at his bare back, then turned around as if struck by a realization: "It seems that silicon-based materials also have their advantages?"
----------segmentation----------
—The father's will is absolute.
Unlike ordinary "dolls", they do not need to go through the trivial and meaningless process of receiving, understanding and executing. They only need to determine what their father needs and then execute according to that "need".
The distance from the center of the island to the sea is not far, and it can be covered in just a few seconds using energy wings. Although walking would consume less than 3% of the energy required to travel the same distance, Eve still chose to fly.
reason?
"Father's will."
I searched for the one I needed among the 1,769 codes recorded on the Rosa Mystica. It might not be the most suitable one for this occasion, but it was definitely the one that could fulfill Father's will in the shortest amount of time.
The ethereal code, fueled by energy, was projected into reality through the outstretched right hand. At the center of the triangular circuit, wisps of blue electricity coalesced, pointing downwards—
As if sensing something beneath the calm sea surface, bubbles rose from the water, forming a sizable whirlpool in just a few seconds. However, the girl suspended in mid-air seemed oblivious to this process, maintaining her original posture—with her slender palm facing the sea surface.
"Boom——"
Ultimately, the sea surface "broke apart".
From the suddenly surging waves, a jet-black creature, like a nightmare from the abyss devouring the sunlight, forcefully broke free from the sea's constraints and appeared above the girl, opening its enormous maw filled with teeth of varying sizes—
"laugh-----"
It sounded more like metal melting than flesh being burned.
The black creature failed to devour its lunch as planned. Instead, after the target retreated a short distance, it plummeted back to the seabed along its original trajectory. The steam rising from the intense heat vanished almost instantly, like an illusion, until it floated back up...
Lowering his right hand, the triangular circuit emitting the energy ray naturally disappeared along with the unloaded code. And so, the two hands, holding the girl who was nearly three times the size of his own body, slowly disappeared into the distant sky at a speed more than half the normal...
When Lin Yi saw the metallic creature that resembled a miniature shark, it had already been eight hours since he arrived in this world.
Perhaps due to the different environment, in terms of the degree of metallization alone, this creature that lives in the sea and may or may not even be considered a fish is much more complete than any other creature existing on the island. At least after dissecting it by hand, Lin Yi could not find any non-metallic substances in its body except for the digestive organs.
"No, perhaps it's because of the food chain."
The sharp blade that sprang from the right arm rummaged through the messy things found in the "shark's" stomach. Lin Yi noticed that it had swallowed almost all metallic substances, including metal parts of other fish and some crude metal ores. In contrast, the diet of the creature he had dissected on the island that morning clearly included flesh and blood. Perhaps this was the reason why its level of evolution was far lower than that of this "shark".
"Ok?"
The act of flipping through the pages suddenly stopped, and the gaze locked onto a small, square piece of metal at the very bottom.
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 126 Radiating for Five Hundred Years (3)

History will remember this day!
Although we only have thirteen people, although our strongest weapons are only three water pipe pistols, and although the land we occupy is just ruins, we still believe in this.
Because on this day, the "Homeland Reboot" plan began!

...There is no hope left on the mainland. Those terrifying monsters are crammed together, and no one can kill them all, not even by using the taboos of civilization.
We can only head out to sea and pray that there are still islands on the horizon where people can survive.

[Encrypted data detected. Should we decrypt it?]
Lin Yi, who was browsing this information, was taken aback upon hearing this, and then immediately ordered: "Crack it."

We lacked food, resources, energy, population... everything that could rebuild our human civilization, but we overcame them all.
However, there is one thing we lack that cannot be overcome: the desire for peace.
Every participant who has been committed to "rebooting our homeland" has been wrong. The reason our civilization has fallen to this point is not because it is a failure or weak, but because it is inherently beyond redemption.
This civilization is corrupt, rotten to its very core. Everyone living under its rule is utterly selfish, which is good for nature—survival of the fittest. But for a civilization, it is destined to be a disaster, especially when a group of selfish individuals possess equally powerful influence. Two hundred and thirty years ago, our civilization was destroyed for this reason, and now we are about to repeat the same history.
……
I've tried to find a civilization that can truly lead us into the future, but I've discovered only two possible forms: First, everyone must abandon their narrow self-interest, not requiring them to understand what it means to fight for others, but only asking them to learn how to live peacefully with others; second, a powerful dictator capable of crushing all others' self-interest, where all dissenting opinions are ignored, and as long as that dictator can maintain a clear understanding at all times, then that civilization is destined not to fail…
……
I am unable to achieve the first option, but I have decided to implement the second.
I will lead this civilization toward a bright future!
"He's crazy."
It's not a statement of doubt or sentimentality, just a simple statement.
Lin Yi didn't judge whether the person who recorded this information was right or wrong, but just from his fanatical to the point of arrogance, he knew that he was destined not to be the kind of person who could always maintain his clear understanding. If such a person were to become a dictator, it would probably be no better than having another tyrant above one's head.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, this man who aspired to become a dictator failed, which led to the creation of this chip.
