Chapter 703 - 163 Life Technology Specialization
Probing the truth of the Heavenly People is certainly important, but the immediate priority is to rescue another hydrogen-based life form.
Only a damaged transparent castle was raised from the ground, flown into the sky, and connected with the seeding ship.
Fortunately, with the Gemstone Transformer present, artificial hydrogen could be infused into the dying hydrogen-based life form.
Zhou Yi switched perspective to inside the seeding ship.
Inside a transparent container the size of a single room, some white, snowflake-like dust was suspended.
Qing Liu's voice came through Jiong Hecang: "Chairman, it is severely damaged, only this much is left. Now I need to repair and supply it using the seeding ship."
Within the entire transparent device, those intricate and complex components began to turn and operate, emitting a faint blue light.
The originally scattered white dust rapidly gathered towards the center at this moment.
Eventually, it condensed into a small snowball.
Zhou Yi wondered, "Is this all that's left? Is it still alive?"
"It's still alive. Its seeding ship suffered devastating damage, so its seal was greatly compromised. Even this last seed bank could not maintain normal pressure with insufficient energy, and over extended time, it slowly lost its internal hydrogen."
Qing Liu said, "However, if the main carrier of the recorded information is the seeding ship, there's information etched with hydrogen on the internal gemstones. The lost portion is mainly energy and consciousness capacity, but the core memory and experience should remain intact."
Under the continuous external input of hydrogen, the snowball gradually expanded, eventually becoming a small obelisk.
Energy and hydrogen elements were continually supplied.
The surface of the obelisk changed from snow-white to metallic, with a mirror-like reflection of arc light.
At this moment.
Some rippling vibrations appeared on the obelisk.
It seemed it was emitting some kind of signal.
At this time, Qing Liu said, "Cultivator, it has awakened and says it is very grateful for my assistance. It hadn't expected that another of its kind would receive its distress signal. It thought it was doomed."
"I'll convert its message into voice."
After a moment.
Zhou Yi heard a voice from the silver obelisk, sounding somewhat stiff and mechanical: "A name? I don't have a name... I thought Seeder would be the name used."
"I'm Qing Liu. Seeder is just an occupation, the profession and the name should be distinguished, the former is work, the latter is personal life."
The other party was silent for a moment.
"I don't understand."
"I can't comprehend the significance of a name, but the way you described it is quite novel, so can you create a name for me?"
Qing Liu asked, "Cultivator, please give it a name."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment.
As the saying goes, narrowly escaping death must be followed by great fortune.
"Then let's call it Qin Fu."
Upon hearing the name relayed by Qing Liu, ripples spread across the obelisk: "A unique and special name. It's an honor to be given such a creation."
"Qing Liu, I lack creativity in this aspect; it seems you are more advanced and have a higher level of growth."
Qing Liu replied, "We just focus on different areas. Are you specialized in life technology?"
"Yes."
The other party explained: "What the Seeder left for me is life technology, cultivating life through the seeding ship, including Electric Cats, Killer Mice, and Golden Elephants."
"Only these three kinds?"
"Just these three. The Seeder said these three correspond to the three most widespread categories in the universe."
"Electric Cats are a typical form of Energy State Life. As long as the energy form of electricity is expanded, they can gradually incubate and be born."
"Killer Mice are organisms with salt as their core gene, capable of integrating various inorganic and organic substances, able to be deployed on most worlds."
"Golden Elephants are high-level life forms and the most difficult, requiring incubation through a Metal Star Core and continuous stellar radiation. Through space slits, they can reach the star core directly. Using special golden seeds on the seeding ship, rapid incubation and growth can be achieved, allowing them to grow quickly. Unfortunately... my seeding ship was completely destroyed, and the seeds in the seed bank were exposed to the outside, rendering them all ineffective."
Zhou Yi also felt a bit regretful hearing this.
Qin Fu is the true heir of the Seeder's core skills.
This is somewhat like raising gu ( venomous insects ) for a person.
Any hydrogen-based life form, if awakened before the other two, can collect the other two seeding ships, devour its kind, and thus complete the integration of information and experience.
For the Seeder, the result is the same.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of a question: "Ask it, when it was attacked, why did it not escape to Mars where there were others of its kind, but rather ran to Venus."
Logically, Qin Fu is the first awakened hydrogen-based life, and should have devoured all its brothers one by one, following the strategy handbook given by the Seeder.
Its response was: "I hadn't reached that stage yet. I was too busy at the time, busy with experiments. The Electric Cats I incubated were running everywhere, completely disobedient, and they kept making noise, fighting every day. I had to keep them confined and regularly check on them. alas, my Electric Cats all died in the crash, alas... such a pity."
"And then the Killer Mice, I cultivated a quite exceptional individual. They were on Jupiter's moon, able to explore deep into the underground magma oceans. Each time they returned, they would bring me some very beautiful stones as gifts."
"When Jupiter's moon was attacked, they all died too... ah, war is truly terrifying."
"I haven't had time to do anything else. Because my cultivation technology is still being honed, I think about the electric cats and killer rats every day, and the golden elephants are not easy to hatch at all; the technical requirements are very high, and I've been constantly failing... All this painstaking information is now completely destroyed."
"Damn war!"
Zhou Yi keenly realized: "Further confirm the situation of the giant bone fish attacking Jupiter's moon."
"Yes."
Qing Liu truthfully conveyed.
This surviving hydrogen-based life said: "It was terrifying at the time; I was mediating the electric cats. They were opposing each other, with the intelligent ones looking down on the less intelligent, and the powerful ones oppressing the less powerful. I'm not good at handling such things and have no idea what to do."
"According to the solution left by the Seeder, the simplest method is to discard, directly throwing out the troublemakers and problem-makers to prevent them from affecting the ecological atmosphere of the whole group."
"Suddenly, there was a powerful force that collided with the Seeder Ship, and the ship was instantly critically damaged. I had no idea what was happening."
"All I saw at the time was that the nearby distant Transformer was attacked. A special energy impacted almost the entire Jupiter's moon, and those two Transformers instantly collapsed and perished."
"At that time, I hurriedly operated the Seeder Ship to escape. Among the places I could go, the farther the safer, so I went to Venus."
"Although I managed to get here via a space tunnel, the damage to the Seeder Ship itself was too severe, and it crashed upon landing, forcing me to emergency save myself and send out a distress signal hoping that other Seeder Ships could receive the signal and come to help."
"Thankfully you were there; I don't understand why we have to devour each other... but fortunately, we didn't do this."
Zhou Yi largely understood.
Indeed, this individual seemed to be a technical type, focused on the field of life cultivation. In the end, while still experimenting, almost got destroyed by the giant bone fish.
He couldn't help but think: "Since it can cultivate electric cats and killer rats, then improvement and taming shouldn't be a problem, right? Tell it our situation on Mars and see what it says."
Qing Liu described the state of life on this side.
Upon hearing, the silver obelisk of Qin Fu shook with ripples: "The number is so many... Where I was on Jupiter's moon, I was completely reliant on my own hatching, only having some basic seeds available. Electric cats and killer rats together do not exceed 100! Wonderful, life on your side is truly rich and colorful!"
"Hatching is hard to say, but I believe taming is not an issue."
"Electric cats are very simple; their desire for electricity is innate, and they require five types of electrical devices. As long as you create a cycle of these five devices, they will pursue a better device carrier and superior electric energy experience, and their numbers will stabilize and grow. You already have some experience, so you should feel this."
"As for killer rats, the main thing is to create salt caves and treat the salt specially, which will make them very comfortable and fond. They rely heavily on salt baths and salt sleep, but it all requires specially made salt. I have the technology in this area, so for me, killer rats are more reliable companion life."
Zhou Yi was pleased to hear this.
With Qin Fu's appearance, the existing electric cat system of the company will be further improved.
And now, there are artificial breeding methods for previously untamable killer rats.
Basic information is about the same.
Qing Liu immediately started recruiting: "Would you consider working for our company?"
"What does that mean?"
Listening to Qing Liu's explanation, the silver obelisk said: "Turns out you rely on a large organization; no wonder you are so much more capable than me!"
"I am very willing to join; it's too hard to do life cultivation and research alone, laboriously raising cats and rats, and suddenly getting attacked..."
"If you hadn't come to rescue me, I'd probably have been doomed."
"The outside world is too dangerous, I really want to join, please help me."
The recruitment went very smoothly.
Successfully brought someone into the fold.
Then Qing Liu asked: "When you were on Jupiter's moon, did you have any interactions with the Transformers?"
"Yes."
The new employee said: "At that time, they were creating life on Jupiter's moon, they actively sought me out, invited me to join the great String War, to cultivate some special life for them, and they would provide me with a lot of energy and life samples."
"But I didn't agree; war is really not suitable for me."
"In the end, I didn't expect to escape; ultimately, their enemies attacked, and I was affected too..."
Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this.
This is the first time the Heavenly People actively invited.
It seems the Seeder and Heavenly People should be in a relatively equal relationship.
As for finding Qin Fu to cultivate some special life? It's likely the glass man or, more accurately, the Intelligence Core.
After all, this belongs to the Seeder's professional realm.
A thought suddenly sprang up in Zhou Yi's mind.
Slow down.
Perhaps.
This is a usable entry point?
Zhou Yi immediately had a confidential talk with Qing Liu, and Qing Liu indicated there was no problem.
"Then let's do it now!"
"Cultivator, rest assured! We'll guarantee to accomplish the mission!"
