Even for a Light Core Body, it's very difficult to directly break through Earth's gravity and enter a low Earth orbit.

Thus, Zhou Yi used the satellite imagery provided by the Star Axis to communicate with the two returning Bone Fish employees.

Due to the signal delay, the audio and video were not particularly synchronized. Fortunately, the Cat God supplemented the information, and the entire exchange went smoothly.

On the satellite screen, the two Bone Fish looked different from before.

Fast Feet had turned a dark red color all over, with fold-like skin resembling wrinkles, and its strength had improved from the previous D-level to C-level.

Big Mouth's mouth was a bright, luminous red, with a rhythm of alternating light and dark, as if there was a glowing heart inside. Its improvement was greater, reaching the B-level directly.

According to the observations from the Star Axis, they appeared suddenly next to the defunct Noah-3 satellite as they had disappeared.

As soon as Big Mouth returned, it started speaking rapidly: "Chairman, we are back! Sorry, it seems we've overstayed our vacation... This time, it wasn't us intentionally leaving our posts without approval, but an accidental incident. That Giant Bone Fish found us and said it wanted to teach us some skills, so we used our vacation for that... It turned out to be two months when we came back!"

"We didn't know beforehand, either. There was no timer there, and we couldn't feel the specific flow of time... It was really an accident; it wasn't intentional! You must believe us!"

It had a lot to say, but there was a high ratio of nonsense.

Zhou Yi immediately said: "Stop for a moment. Fast Feet, you tell me what happened, from the beginning."

"Yes, Chairman."

"Initially, it was because a strange sound came from Noah-3, but that sound we couldn't describe to the outside world, as if it was shielded by some power..."

Fast Feet's voice was neither fast nor slow and was well-organized.

Only then did Zhou Yi realize that the Giant Bone Fish was now on Jupiter's moon Europa, ruling over it, self-titled as the Earth Ghost, having completely broken off that planet.

The Giant Bone Fish had created bones within the satellite as a special medium to communicate with the Bone Fish—Transformers are adept at transforming energy into specific substances.

What concerned Zhou Yi was how the Giant Bone Fish had taken away and returned these two employees.

Fast Feet said it didn't know either.

"Chairman, we asked, and Mr. Earth Ghost said we're not yet at the level to contact those powers."

Despite this, the Giant Bone Fish had an unexpectedly high tolerance for the Bone Fish.

From Fast Feet's recited words alone, Zhou Yi thought that if it were itself as the Earth Ghost, it might have already punched Big Mouth's head in.

Yet, the Earth Ghost just became silent and expressionless; its discipline was quite high. Perhaps in its eyes, these were just ignorant kids, and comparing them with itself would just lower its standards.

The most immediate gain, of course, was that Fast Feet and Big Mouth were specially trained and strengthened by the Giant Bone Fish. They were also taught a full set of techniques for enhancing Bone Fish.

This is the growth path of the Giant Bone Fish itself, so not only is the experience reliable, but it also has enormous strategic significance.

Its core is to construct a special heart from Underground Worms.

Relying on these special life forms to continuously absorb the power of cosmic rays can support survival activities in space.

Zhou Yi asked, "Are the Underground Worms cultivated by the Earth Ghost?"

"No. They are creatures from deep within Earth's underground. Many underground Bone Fish are using these Underground Worms, but Mr. Earth Ghost gathered a large number of them into his body and brought them to the oceans beneath Europa for large-scale cultivation and breeding."

Fast Feet said, "Mr. Earth Ghost said that the Bone Fish on the surface are weak precisely because they lack the help of Underground Worms."

A flash of inspiration passed through Zhou Yi's mind.

The Seventh Agent Verne once said that in 404 City, there was a criminal who specialized in researching bacteria on the Bone Fish, believing that underground Bone Fish are unique due to a certain mantle bacteria.

This criminal was a Mechanical Life named Shafulin and was also the creator of the A-2 virus.

Zhou Yi immediately sent Hei Fu to 404 City.

Soon, Shafulin, whose main body was a biological incubator, was brought to Jade City.

"Vision is deceptive; you must compare with physical samples to truly verify. If you want me to only make such long-distance judgments, sorry, it can't be done."

Though an anti-social figure, he was exceptionally rigorous in the research field.

Zhou Yi had no choice.

The fastest method would naturally be to use the Gemstone Transformer, but that would be too conspicuous and could easily attract attention from all sides. Previously, acting against the Agent could still be considered an internal issue between the Supervisors and the Agent. Making it public too early isn't beneficial... The less frequently such key moves are used, the better.

The regular means to place items from the satellite orbit onto Earth would take quite a long time.

Turing learned of the situation and immediately suggested: "Chairman, please leave it to the Artificial Sun."

"Our operation team can control the sun to accelerate into the specified orbit, bringing the two Bone Fish employees back to the ground. Because the Artificial Sun's energy merges with the Sun's, although it has sufficient strength and explosive power, it can support the speed needed to break into a space orbit."

So Zhou Yi entrusted it to them.

Half an hour later, the Artificial Sun lit up again. It accelerated all the way, finally breaking through the atmosphere and entering the multiple orbit within which the satellite was located.

In 1 hour and 27 minutes, the company's artificial sun retrieved the two Bone Fish from the satellite orbit and delivered them to Jade City.

The criminal scientist Shafulin immediately initiated a scan to conduct a comprehensive examination of them and requested the medical department to carry out biological comparisons.

Zhou Yi also observed the two transformed Bone Fish.

Fast Feet's surface had a dark red, frosted texture, resembling a mineral layer formed by a mixture of sand and harsh salt. Additionally, these red microorganisms presented a dense network.

Big Mouth opened its jaws to reveal a massive accumulation of red Underground Worms within the inner walls of its bones. At the deepest point, a luminous, twisted energy mass formed, which was what the Giant Bone Fish referred to as the Cosmic Heart.

They were healthy in both physiological strength and consciousness waves.

Big Mouth immediately said, "Chairman, we're not absent from work without any reason, right?"

Zhou Yi formally replied, "It's due to force majeure factors. Not your fault."

This allowed the two Bone Fish to relax.

Zhou Yi asked, "Why does the Giant Bone Fish refer to itself as Earth Ghost?"

"Because its enemy is the Heavenly People. The people in the sky correspond to the ghosts underground, according to its explanation."

Fast Feet said, "The Giant Bone Fish believes Bone Fish represent another life form of the deceased, what the old humans called ghosts. So it not only represents the entire Bone Fish community in hunting the Heavenly People but also avenges the deceased killed by the Heavenly People by taking the form of a ghost."

As per its description, the Giant Bone Fish believes that the suppression and weakness of the Bone Fish community's core issue is the Heavenly People.

This Earth Ghost also revealed new information.

The three disasters of the Dead Sea are actually controlled by the Heavenly People, who use macro control methods through the Ring Solar Wall. The Heavenly People act as if holding remote controls, triggering artificial disasters on Earth's surface, targeting specific points as needed.

To avoid mass gathering in the Dead Sea, they guide the creation of Light Burst and rapids as if using the Sun for pinpoint bombardment to disperse life.

The other peculiar aspect is the high-pressure zones.

In large part, these areas prevent anyone from approaching. There seems to be certain information projected by the Sun there.

Zhou Yi immediately inquired of Xiao Fu, "Is there anything special about consciousness radiation from the Sun?"

"This surpasses my understanding."

Reverse Flow also candidly said, "I don't understand either. However, the matter that the enemy fears and intends to eliminate is highly likely something threatening to them. Da Zhou, you might as well let the Evil Brain Motor focus its efforts in collecting from these areas."

Zhou Yi agreed.

He promptly ordered Dong to focus the Evil Brain Fleet's efforts, directing them to investigate the high-pressure zones.

Not long after.

Shafulin and the medical department produced results.

"The Underground Worms are mantle bacteria!"

"My deduction was correct! The Underground Bone Fish rely on mantle bacteria, capable of absorbing various energy rays and even directly converting cosmic rays into usable energy!"

Shafulin's electronic eyes incessantly flickered, and the incubation chamber emitted clanking noises, portraying a sense of madness.

"This symbiotic life form highly aligns with the Underground Bone Fish, mirroring far more extreme anaerobic low-temperature environments than those in the mantle. It can survive equally as well in space and other celestial bodies. The greater the quantity of bacterial colonies, the stronger the effect. They form a potent bacterial web that adheres to material layers, forming a survival unit that averts external pressures."

"Therefore, Fast Feet finds it difficult to detach the Underground Worms from its surface as they inherently exhibit a characteristic of deeply integrating into other material layers for survival."

"Provided that reseeding mantle bacteria this way and directing their fusion within Bone Fish's bodies and surfaces, a large number of Bone Fish can effortlessly transcend existing life tiers, advancing to Class B and even Class A!"

"With this application method of bacteria, Bone Fish will no longer be side characters or cannon fodder; they will unleash energy causing the world to tremble!"

"The era for Bone Fish has arrived!"

Shafulin, immensely excited, exclaimed, "This is the allure of pathogens. As long as they can spur chemical reactions with them, they can directly transform a species, even altering the whole world's ecological landscape!"

"In the future, whoever best manages relations with Bone Fish will stand firm amidst new waves."

"Please immediately commence mass production of mantle bacteria and distribute them to the Bone Fish! I wish to see rivers of blood... oh no, I want to see the dawn of a new era."

"..."

Zhou Yi looked questioningly, "Didn't you just mention rivers of blood?"

"You misheard."

The mechanical life assuredly said, "I am a scientific researcher aiming only to witness the Bone Fish community underground rising through bacteria on the surface... They will rewrite the current ecological situation, enhance productivity, and maintain stability in the Dead Sea region better."

Zhou Yi expressed skepticism.

However, Shafulin's proposal was sound.

Indeed, cultivating mantle bacteria extensively is essential, aligning with the company's Bone Fish, bringing substantial advancements to both the company and its Bone Fish employees.

Yet, this matter must take its time, thoroughly anticipating risk issues.
