24-19 How to Make an Artificial Human Being

After a thorough observation of the room that was making "The Artificial Man (Homunculus)," Shinobi made no further imposition and followed the scene with a transfer device.

The destination of the transfer is the surface. There awaits the retrieval of "Falcon 5", and the two returned to Penglai with Shinobiichi, who escaped earlier.

"Yeah, was that what happened last night?"

First thing in the morning on the 10th, Old Man was reporting to Jen.

The most important concern is the artificial man (Homunculus), who seems to have modeled himself on 'Alshell'.

"Maybe Arshel himself is in that underground facility."

'Yes, your husband (My Road). It seems likely'

It was thought that it would be comfortable even in the sense that it was high in free magic (ether).

"And an automatic doll (automata) that resembles No. 700672..."

'No, the atmosphere is exactly alike, that's all. I don't mean just like that. Model numbers are probably different'

"Anyway, there was an" Origin "facility in the basement of the El Rado mine."

"Yes, you will"

This is a major discovery. At the same time, Jen alone is often unable to make decisions.

So Jen decided to go talk to 700672.

"What about Elsa?

With Jen, asking Elsa, who was silently listening to the report,

"This time go alone with Brother Jin. I'll stay with you, Hannah."

Reply with. Jen decided to accept the offer.

"Then let's ask for it."

"Mmm, go be careful."

That is why Jen took Reiko and moved under No. 700672.

"Oh Lord Jin, you've come a long way"

No. 700672 welcomed Jen with the same attitude as usual.

Jen also handed over the usual handmade souvenir, Penglai's special Persica juice.

"I'm always sorry. So, what do you want to hear today?

"Yeah, actually..."

Without extra conversation, Jen conveyed the facility that was discovered this time and any information about it.

Reiko makes up for what's missing.

"Hmm, there's an institution that my husbands left behind."

No. 700672, who heard the story, closed his eyes emotionally, often thinking about it, and then opened his mouth.

"Let's talk about it in order. First of all, there seems to be no mistake that the facility was built by the same people as my husband."

When I heard the internal portrayal, I immediately found out, I said.

"Next, an automatic doll similar to mine (Automata), but I think one of the guesses is on"

For some reason, he was unable to maintain his original body and transferred consciousness to an automatic doll (Automata).

"I thought about it in the person's shoes. Neither did I. Until I met Lord Jin, this body was weakened and nearly impossible to sustain. It is not surprising, then, to abandon this body, which is a pseudo creature, and to consider transferring consciousness to the automatic doll (Automata), which is a complete creation. The body of an automatic doll can continue to exist semi-permanently as long as it has something to maintain."

700672, the same human squire (homunculus), which is why I can understand the idea of that unknown human squire (homunculus).

"Nevertheless, I do not feel comfortable abandoning this body given to me by my husband. Around there would be a range of individual differences."

"I see, will it"

Jen nodded. One of your hypotheses was supported.

"And there was an artificial human being (homunculus) made to imitate that alshell."

"Yes."

"One of the possibilities, but it seems that the squire was considering transferring consciousness to your body, not to an automatic doll."

"... eh...?

Arshel is a girl. The exterior looks around eight, younger than Hannah. Jen couldn't imagine transferring consciousness to such a body.

Saying that to No. 700672, he laughed.

"Ha, does it feel that way to Lord Jin? But there is no gender in the original sense to me or my companions. So, Arshel... I can't resist transferring consciousness to Rouge's body"

"Oh, really..."

It wasn't something Jen could understand at all.

"Our raison d 'être is to serve our master. If that master is gone, preserving the proof of his presence becomes the second existential significance"

Some will not choose the means to do so, 700672 concluded.

"I think a little differently than I do. Maybe he's an older squire than me."

"Um, is there any advantage to being Alshell's figure?

As far as 700672 was concerned, Jen thought that if you were to create an artificial human being (homunculus) to transfer consciousness, it would be good if you looked the same as yourself.

"Hmm, I see. I don't know how to make a squire, but it's a late question."

No. 700672 nodded loudly and began explaining again.

"There are two things you will always need to make an artificial human (homunculus). One is a mental catalyst."

That being said, No. 700672 put up one finger.

"And the other one... right, should I say 'blueprints'? In short, it's model genetic information."

Man-made humans (homunculus) are also pseudo- and artificial, albeit organisms. Therefore, healing magic and healing magic work.

"There are still parts of Lord Jin that you don't understand, and most importantly, you don't seem to be interested in artificial life, so I'll skip explaining it, but the body will have the same composition as human beings."

"Ha..."

Listening to the story, Jen was remembering cloning technology.

The point is, make a body out of a clone and put a soul in it with a mental catalyst, that seems to be a good image.

"At that time, the higher the performance of the original body, the higher the physical ability of the human (homunculus) who can do it."

That was a sufficiently understandable story.

"So, perhaps there was no genetic information left in the facility where that squire was located that would allow him to create a squire anymore. In fact, there's no one left here."

"That means..."

"Hmmm. Demons...... The descendants of The Fallen (Fallner) are all highly physically capable. My body is tough too. I think that's why he chose to model Arshel."

This would have explained the majority of the doubts.

"And guess what, you said there were tons of demons in the basement there, right?

"Oh, yes."

"… the demon may be farmed to collect psychic catalysts, I think"

"Ah."

Jen noticed when she said it.

I once found a psychic catalyst in the Inad mine basement. And the massive hundreds of giant legs (gigantopeders) that came out of that Inad mine.

Too much for a giant hundred legs (Gigantopeder) to handle, but it was Giganto Avrum who was in that basement.

If it was Giganto Avrum, Arshel would have been able to get a taste... of it.

"Then Arshel and his squire..."

"Um, likely in a cooperative relationship"

……

Jen worried. Alschel was also seen as pregnant with madness when he encountered Gloria, trying to make Giganto Avrum attack humans.

What about now?

"... maybe we should teach Belials"

After much thought, I came to the conclusion that I should think about teaching my brother Berials, who is worried about Arshel and searching around, and visiting the facility with him.

"Hmm, that might be a good idea."

Speaking to No. 700672, he agreed.

"But suppose that's the facility my husband used, you won't be able to go with it. I'm not saying it's hostile, but the squire won't open his mind easily either."

"So how do I..."

"Don't panic. There are several ways to do this."

It suppressed his desire to get stuffed, and Jen waited for the next word in No. 700672.

"You should take this"

Its No. 700672 explored the shelves and handed Jen a single crystal cube. The cube received the light of the room and emitted a green light.

"... this is..."

"Yeah? You've seen 'Mitianite'"

"'Mitianite', is it? Not Elladolite?

"Is that what you call it? Hmm, that's the name I was talking about because I can pick it near the El Rado mine.... So, do you know the nature of this stone?

No. 700672 staring at Jen with trying eyes.

There was something I wanted to say about the naming of Elladolite, but Jen gives priority to answering questions over that.

"Yeah. Magic amplification effect, right?

Would Elladrite-Mitianite be a capacitor (capacitor) if it were to be said in the electrical system analogy?

By accumulating a large amount of magic (Magnetin (Mana)) and releasing it all at once, you can generate more magic than the surgeon can.

No. 700672 snorted and laughed.

"Only half, you're right."
