Chapter 676 The Ultimate Test of Human Alchemy

Meanwhile, the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

Unlike the Ministry of Magic in most countries, which is hidden underground, the Magical Congress of the United States of America is located in the Woolworth Building. When the Magical Congress of the United States of America employees go to work, they even walk into the Woolworth Building with the "No-Maj" they call.

In a sense, the base of the Magical Congress of the United States of America can be said to be "hidden in the city".

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

However, unlike the open office space in the Woolworth Building, the space under the Woolworth Building is used for some shameful research.

Just like... human alchemy!

In a laboratory about the size of two Quidditch pitches, which was expanded by the Traceless Extension Charm, many alchemists in black uniforms are walking among the alchemical equipment.

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

"Josué, has the alchemy chip that can carry the wizard's consciousness been successfully made?"

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

The young alchemist named Josué, who was also wearing a black uniform, turned around, his face full of excitement and joy.

Josué said happily: "Success! Mr. Henry! We succeeded!"

Josué said while clicking several times on the operating table of the computer-like alchemy equipment.

As the magic power fluctuations spread, the surging magic power was absorbed by the computer-like alchemy equipment and converted into more refined computing power for making the alchemy chip.

Bursts of rumbling came from the computer-like alchemy equipment. Inside the computer-like alchemy equipment, there seemed to be a structure similar to a photolithography machine, and dazzling white light bloomed from the gaps of the alchemy equipment.

This noisy rumble sounded like the beautiful sound of nature to the ears of hundreds of alchemists in black uniforms in the laboratory.

They knew that this was the result of their research for decades or even hundreds of years!

After about fifteen minutes, a five-inch alchemy chip slowly came out of the alchemy equipment.

An alchemist named Qiao Sue came forward, picked up the alchemy chip, put it on the detection instrument, and scanned it several times.

Finally, Qiao Sue 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 chip load limit or the compatibility with the alchemy armor, it has met the requirements!"

Hearing Qiao Sue's words, all the alchemists in black uniforms cheered.

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

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

Qiao Sue said in a deep voice: "According to the test results, after the wizard uploads his consciousness to 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 alchemical chip will not be interfered with by any external factors, but it will not make any progress. It's like a child who uploads his consciousness to the alchemical chip will always be a child."

"Even if he has decades or even hundreds of years 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."

Qiao Sue said so.

Hearing Qiao Sue's words, everyone thought about it.

After a while, a questioning voice broke the silence in the laboratory: "A consciousness that does not progress and is forever anchored, is it really a human consciousness? In other words, is the consciousness uploaded to the alchemy chip a person? Or a memory aggregate?"

The emergence of this questioning voice caused many alchemists to think.

But soon, different opinions appeared in the laboratory.

"But...isn't our goal to create a mechanical army that is forever loyal to the Magic Congress and immortal?"

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

"Even if the wizard who uploaded the consciousness has died, as long as he is willing to be loyal to the Magic Congress of the United States at the moment of uploading the consciousness, then no one can shake the idea of ​​the possible 'memory aggregate', right?"

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

"..."

These alchemists in black uniforms were talking about it.

However, what they care about is no longer whether the wizard who uploaded the consciousness is still alive, but whether the alchemical chip carrying the consciousness can make the consciousness in it always loyal to the Magical Congress of the United States.

Looking at his colleagues, Qiao Sue said softly: "In your opinion, this so-called disadvantage is not only not 'disadvantage', but also 'advantage'?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qiao Sue nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, let's consider this alchemical chip as a finished product. Then, let's move on to the next experiment."

Hearing Qiao Sue's words, these alchemists in black uniforms all took action.

They knew very well what the next experiment would be.

That is to let a wizard who has been brainwashed and passed multiple tests such as Legilimency, Truth Serum, and Alchemical Detector to ensure that he has been wholeheartedly loyal to the Magical Congress of the United States, take the initiative to dedicate himself and upload his consciousness to the alchemical chip.

Then... install the alchemical chip into the already manufactured alchemical armor to test the final combat power of the 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 alchemical armor manufactured after replacing all organs of the human body with machinery.

And now, the alchemical chip used to replace the brain has been manufactured.

This means that the human alchemical experiment of the Magical Congress of the United States has reached this stage of the ultimate test! (End of this chapter)
