"Bone Fish don't have so many problems."

The Ancient Overlord shifted the topic and said with some pride, "We're not like the Bone Man with so many little thoughts, wanting everything. For us, having a partner, a stable Family, is a very satisfying and happy thing."

"That's why there are many divorces among the Bone Man, but among us Bone Fish, there isn't a single such example."

"Tatulu and I met on the Moon. At that time, we were working on excavation at the Moon Affairs Department, then participated in satellite maintenance and repair work on Earth's satellite orbit."

"To go to Jupiter's moon Europa, I also asked Mr. Earth Ghost, it said I have no problem with my current situation. But for safety's sake, I need to follow Fast Feet's route to avoid Underground Worms entering the body and affecting Tatulu."

"Chairman, I personally prefer the innovators who might make a name for themselves. The traditionalists are meaningless; Mr. Earth Ghost has already reached the end of that road, and nothing can surpass it."

Zhou Yi encouraged, "Do your best."

Compared to the caution of the first generation Bone Fish, this second generation is more energetic and brave, indeed surpassing the previous generation.

The Ancient Overlord was transported to Jupiter's moon Europa.

It's a pity that even with the Star Axis activating the Sky Patrol Telescope, it could only see the outline of Europa. This planet has an atmospheric layer 200 kilometers thick, making it impossible to directly observe the surface conditions.

So we have to wait for Fast Feet and Big Mouth to have a holiday every month and return to Earth's orbit to learn about Europa's situation from them.

The training continues as usual over there.

They have only preliminarily fixed and fused the mantle bacteria onto their bodies, but mastering and resonating with this life form requires a long time to practice and control.

Fast Feet said their training program mainly involves two activities over there.

First is swimming. High-speed laps around the planet under the ocean, needing to redo if the speed is not met.

Second is deep underground diving. Drilling into the high-temperature mantle layer deep underground, continually increasing the diving depth.

The training is simple and crude, but very effective.

Big Mouth, who follows the traditional route, has begun tempering its body in the magma chamber deep underground, and its Cosmic Heart is becoming stronger.

Fast Feet, on the other hand, has become much more sensitive to Cosmic Rays, besides previously receiving that [Open the Sun...], it also discovered another new message.

"Chairman, it's still the same voice saying. It says [Beware of the Transformers...]"

Fast Feet relayed the information via Cat God: "I now confirm that this voice is coming from the purple string light, and Mr. Earth Ghost also confirmed this. This string light can be received both on Europa and in Earth's orbit."

In other words, this part of the information is a distress signal released by the string light.

Zhou Yi pondered.

From these two sentences, it seems the string light releaser and the Heavenly People are opposing enemies. As for why it asks to open the Sun, it's currently unknown.

Because Fast Feet can currently only receive some fuzzy information, decrypting the string light is still very difficult. Mainly, the signal sender is strong enough, but other cosmic ray information, it can't view at all.

A month later.

Fast Feet and the Ancient Overlord went on a holiday together and returned to Sand Port from the satellite orbit.

On the day of their return, many people gathered outside Yalong Bay to watch.

After all, these are Bone Fish employees returning from spiritual training beyond the sky.

Fast Feet didn't seem to change much, the insect clothing with a coarse keratin layer feel on the surface is becoming more coordinated, increasingly resembling a thick exterior skin grown from a creature.

The Ancient Overlord also donned a layer of insect clothing. Originally robust and burly, now with the unique dark red patterns of the mantle bacteria, it looks even more imposing.

Zhou Yi asked Fast Feet, "Isn't Big Mouth on holiday?"

Fast Feet said, "Chairman, Big Mouth's Cosmic Heart has completed resonating, now entering the critical remodeling phase."

"Remodeling is absorbing the energy core, formed by the mantle bacteria absorbing cosmic rays, into the most suitable form for itself, and conducting tempering, requiring constant adjustment of the distribution and movement of the mantle bacteria."

"This phase leads to becoming a Light Core Body."

Zhou Yi asked, "So is Big Mouth's element mantle bacteria? Or is it bone?"

"Neither."

Fast Feet explained, "According to Mr. Earth Ghost's experience and planning, salt is the most suitable element for the Bone Fish. Salt and mantle bacteria are highly compatible and are widely distributed across various planets."

"Whether on Earth or Europa, the mantle has an inexhaustible supply of silicates, very convenient for Bone Fish to absorb."

"Further, when reaching the Transformer stage, it requires using energy to create various forms of salt. Using these salts will allow the creation of an expansive new skeletal body, no longer confined to the skeletal structure that only blood and flesh life can create."

This elemental path is quite ingenious.

It's suitable for the Bone Fish group while ensuring a sufficient cosmic abundance base.

Zhou Yi pondered that Mars has a vast Salt Library. If Big Mouth can enter the Light Core Body stage and turn salt into its element, it might be sent to Mars to investigate and see what information is recorded there.

"How are you progressing?"

Fast Feet said somewhat awkwardly, "Our innovative path is relatively slow. Mr. Earth Ghost specifically instructed us not to rush, but to slow down, first gradually learn to explore the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of the insect clothing itself."

"It said, there is no precedent to follow, so every step has to be solid, completely different from Big Mouth's frantic progress."

The Ancient Overlord added aside, "Our direction is not bad! Chairman, our insect clothing has a special ability, discovered by Fast Feet, allowing us to communicate directionally with each other by reflecting cosmic rays."

"Even Mr. Earth Ghost highly praised this mode of communication, saying that even the Transformer, if not skilled in rays or related elements, would find it difficult to decipher the information within."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up hearing this.

Communication function?

If Big Mouth is the Heavy Equipment Soldier charging in battle, then Fast Feet and its group are Communication Soldiers.

He immediately asked, "What is the coverage range?"

Fast Feet answered, "If on the same planet, signal transmission brought by refracted cosmic rays is very fast, similar to light, with basically no delay, it can be transmitted instantly. However, the premise is, insect clothing is needed to hear this unique communication signal method."

"For interplanetary communication, Mr. Earth Ghost helped me test it, and long distances have noticeable delays, and the further the distance, the poorer the signal. It's difficult to complete meaningful signal transmission because this process itself consumes significant energy, and during transmission, it can be interfered with by other rays, causing signal loss."

"If we enter the Light Core Body, interplanetary transmission can be done."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Even now, the Bone Fish with insect clothing can communicate instantaneously on the same planet.

This holds significant meaning for group coordination.

...

The Bone Fish on unpaid leave set off for their holidays.

Zhou Yi called Jacob from the Moon Affairs Department.

This Bone Man manager now also had a Moon Person in its chest, fixed on a metal bracket.

"Chairman, this is my family member, Vasily."

"It is also one of the earliest advocates of forming Families with Moon People, Bone Men, and Bone Fish. It talked well with me. We both believe this Family model can effectively eliminate prejudice and suspicion among different groups, and only through living together deeply and having aligned interests can Moon People truly integrate into the company's big Family."

Zhou Yi greeted the Bone Man's chest, "Hello, Vasily."

A voice emerged from the spinning Stone Gyro, "Hello, Chairman Sir, very honored to meet you. Thank you very much for your care of the Moon People."

Its direct speech surprised Zhou Yi a bit.

Moon People always communicate relying on consciousness nerve physical connections.

He quickly noticed the metal bracket had several flying threads. Below was a small Stone Shedding Reactor, completing the connection through consciousness nerve, and ultimately connecting to a tiny microphone, emitting sounds via Jacob's chest speaker.

"Is this the completion of voice signal conversion?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Jacob proudly puffed out its chest and said, "Building on prior research on lunar waves transmission, we incorporated Wasteland Armor's [Jade Eye] technology, and through electrical signal conversion, eventually created voice signals. It allows direct interaction with the outside world."

"This is good."

Zhou Yi felt a wave of satisfaction.

The application of Jade Eye is becoming increasingly diversified, which will in turn foster the rapid maturity and renewal of the technology.

"Chairman, more and more Moon People are joining the company and forming Families with Bone Man and Bone Fish, starting a new lifestyle, and going with them to other worlds."

"But according to the Moon People, we are recently investigating a matter."

Jacob's voice suddenly turned serious, "Chairman, the Moon People all say there's an original Moon Person inside the Klip Rock."

"It knows all the secrets of the Moon, even how to operate this planet to exert tremendous power. All the current Moon People are results of the original Moon Person's division..."

"But since the Death Cult appeared, the original Moon Person has disappeared."

"They believe Miss Night God killed that original Moon Person."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

This too?
