Chapter 189 Energy acquisition method, the meaning of evolution

When Lin Feng and the other two walked to the cafeteria, all the second-level gene warriors had finished eating and were in another building, testing their physical data.

Lin Feng ordered some meat and carbohydrates, and took the two girls to pick up large and small bowls and sat in a remote place by the cafeteria window.

As his level and strength continued to rise, his demand for energy was soaring exponentially.

He used to only need to eat five servings of food a day, but now he would feel hungry even if he did a little bit of work.

Unless he took the organic nutrient solution of second-level insect eggs as his daily staple food, it would be difficult to sustain the activity and consumption of cells in his body.

Lin Feng estimated that when he was fully engaged in the battle, he could only last for about two hours at most. After that, he would be hungry and his energy supply would be insufficient, causing his strength to drop off a cliff.

If he really got into danger, he couldn't just replenish his nutrition temporarily.

In high-level battles, life and death often only took a moment to win. When the strength gap was not big, whoever could hold on longer would naturally have a higher chance of winning.

So at the table, Lin Feng asked Ling Yi, who was enjoying human food, about the solution to this problem.

After listening, the other party nodded and said:

"You are right. The chemical energy of organic life can only support the third stage at most. Because the conversion efficiency is too slow, even many third-level life have given up eating organic food and tried other more efficient ways of energy intake."

"For example, direct light energy from stars, or indirect solar energy, such as lightning electricity, or wind energy."

"In harsh environments, like the planet of the spiny god, spiny worms can only use geothermal energy from the movement of crustal plates, so the third-level king spiny worms will lie dormant in the magma and develop silently."

"With your current cell strength, you can start to try a little bit to change the way cells absorb energy."

"Why can fourth-level life survive in the universe for a long time? In addition to the extremely high strength of the body, they also have a very exquisite control of electromagnetic force and can directly absorb solar energy for their own use."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Yueqi buried his head in his face and did not dare to interrupt.

These things were too far away from her, just like going straight to high school from the sixth grade of elementary school, with all the incomprehensible things in her eyes.

"If that's the case, you can also use electric shock!"

"Lightning is one of the forms with the highest energy density. If you can absorb and release lightning, wouldn't you be invincible below the fourth level!"

Lin Feng asked himself and answered himself, then pulled up the electromagnetic cannon next to him and switched from armor-piercing shells to magnetic storm shells.

The original round barrel began to split into four, and a group of plasma balls the size of ping-pong balls condensed from it. They were the magnetic storm shells that were about to be launched.

Lin Feng then stretched out his hand, and his palm was suspended above the barrel, and he immediately felt a strong numbness.

As the two continued to get closer, a slight electric current could be seen, released from the plasma group through the air as a medium, and entered Lin Feng's palm.

The high-voltage current directly tore the epidermis of the palm, and continued to penetrate after destroying the cells, extending along the blood vessels and muscles all the way to the bottom of the arm.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, feeling the tingling pain, which had already touched the important internal organs in his chest, and quickly retracted his hand.

Then he saw that the wound on the palm of his hand was burnt yellow and black due to the electric shock, and a smell of burnt meat wafted out...

"Puff~"

Ling Yi couldn't help laughing:

"I let you try, but I didn't let you go directly to 100,000 volts! Start to adapt to the voltage of tens of volts first, and wait until the cells can get life force from it, then consider increasing the voltage."

Lin Feng shook his numb hand, and the wound on his palm healed in just a dozen seconds.

Putting away the electromagnetic gun, he looked at Long Yi and asked:

"How did the pulse tail gun of the pulse war scorpion adapt to it? They are only second-level Zerg."

Ling Yi shook his head:

"That thing is not grown by the pulse war scorpion itself. Including the tank beetle, like the warrior hunting insect, they are all hybrids synthesized by using second-level insect eggs and chicken eggs."

"The pulse tail gun is a biotechnology developed by high-level Zerg. It is equivalent to a long-range cannon. It just happens to match the scorpions on Blue Star, so they are spliced ​​together."

"But Even so, the pulse tail cannon is a biological technology that can only be fully mastered in the third stage, so the second-stage pulse war scorpions have castrated and reduced versions, and the third-stage pulse war scorpions have the complete version. "

"And their attacks can even form an electromagnetic pulse network in outer space and tear apart space battleships."

"When you enter the third stage, you can at least carry a voltage of more than 1,000 volts, and you can also choose a new way to obtain energy."

"Then there will be..."

At this time, Long Yi suddenly lowered her voice, and she noticed that someone else appeared at the door.

At a glance, it turned out that Director Ling had followed after cleaning up the underground experimental base.

"Forget it, it's useless to know now, let's wait until you enter the third stage first."

Ling Yi shook his head and said no more.

Ling Shuyan, wearing a white coat, walked quickly.

Sitting opposite Lin Feng, staring closely at the man in front of her, now she is eager to know the secrets behind it and all the truth about evolution.

"Is the big pot of rice in the kitchen burnt?"

Ling Shuyan sat down, smelled it and frowned slightly.

Liu Yueqi and Lingyi smiled at each other, then looked at Lin Feng who was a little embarrassed.

The other party put his fists on the table and shook his head.

"Let's get to the point. Mr. Lin, can you tell me the ins and outs of these things?"

Ling Shuyan took a deep breath and stared at the man.

Lin Feng coughed lightly, looked at the woman with a very solemn expression, and said lightly:

"Director Ling, what do you think is the ultimate purpose of all life existence and evolution?"

Ling Shuyan said without hesitation:

"To continue the genes. With a limited lifespan, how to better reproduce offspring and seize more living space and resources is the meaning of life."

Lin Feng nodded:

"That's right, what if with evolution, the individual's strength and lifespan are getting longer and longer, long enough to witness the rise and fall of their own race?"

"At this time, there must be other means to ensure the continuation of the race's genes..."

Ling Shuyan frowned:

"You mean the genetic radiation comes from this?"

"No, this is only a small part."

At this time, the unbearable Ling Yi joined the conversation, she curled her lips, contemptuous After looking at Lin Feng with suspicion, he said to Ling Shuyan:

"This guy is not very smart, let me talk about the theoretical matters!"

"In fact, the races that can give birth to third-order life forms can dominate the planet without exception."

"Planets or satellites are the cradles of life, but life cannot live in the cradle for a lifetime, because such self-containedness is tantamount to tying oneself up in knots."

"The ability to resist and explore outer space will be restricted to death. Just an asteroid impact can severely damage or even wipe out a planetary civilization."

"Although the probability of these accidents is very low, as long as the time is long enough, tens of millions of years or hundreds of millions of years, this is entirely possible."

"For example, the dinosaur civilization in the long history of Blue Star, from their birth to the domination of the planet, they experienced 2.4 100 million years, and finally perished in a meteorite attack. "

"Compared with them, humans with only a million years of history are like newborn fertilized eggs, not yet fully developed."

"This is also the fundamental reason why you and we can absorb life energy so quickly, awaken various superpowers, and whether we can merge with the Zerg or other Zerg genes."

"Because humans as a whole are actually still in the follicle stage, genes are easily polluted and produce various distortions, and it is difficult to mature without tens of millions of years. This is the same as the research institute's experiment on teenagers. "

"You probably have also noticed that the superpowers awakened by children are very rare and have great potential. Compared with the ordinary physical enhancement of adults, they are more valuable to cultivate. "

"Okay, these are the effects of the alien Zerg invasion . Encountering alien colonization and invasion is also one of the threats to the survival of ethnic civilization. "

"However, compared with ruthless natural disasters, while colonization brings disasters, it can at least provide opportunities for rapid growth, which promotes human evolution from the side."

After saying that, Long Yi drank a sip of Coke, moistened his throat and continued:

"Back to the topic, when a civilization on a planet is lucky enough to avoid all the above disasters, the ethnic group has safely developed to a masterable and stable third-level promotion channel..."

"At that time, the third-level life forms on the planet will increase because of their long lifespan."

"This will also trigger another crisis..."

"The resources on the planet are not unlimited. Under the consumption of a large number of third-level life forms, the living space and resources of the lower-level ethnic groups will be continuously occupied and compressed, which will eventually lead to a sharp decline in the new generation."

"And to solve the resource problem, we must look outside the planet and other planets in the galaxy."

"So new problems have arisen. The expenditure and income of exploring the outside world are usually not proportional, which is also a great challenge to the technological level of the race. "

"To transfer part of the tribe to an alien planet for survival, the cost of the whole process is far more than feeding this group of people. Unless the problem of stable thermonuclear fusion can be solved first, alien colonization is just a dream."

"So most of the civilizations on other planets have chosen another shortcut, which is also the only way out in the future..."

As he said, a yearning look appeared in his eyes:

"That is the fourth-order cosmic life born from the combination of tens of millions of people. Not only does it contain half of the gene sequences of the tribe, but it also has a strong vitality that can survive in the universe."

"From now on, the fourth-order life will lead the tribe to deep space. Even if the tribe is completely destroyed, as long as the fourth-order life still exists, it can rely on the gene radiation in the body to radiate and give birth to new tribesmen on any planet."

"And the consumption of their travel in the starry sky is far more convenient and energy-saving than building a fleet to start an expedition."

"In this way, the above problems can be solved and an environment suitable for the survival of the race can be created in advance. ”

“When a tribe encounters a life-or-death crisis, the fourth-order life can also stand up and turn the tide.”

“This is the only choice that civilization can make in such a harsh environment in the face of the cold universe.”

“A civilization that cannot give birth to fourth-order life will sooner or later perish in the long river of history and become a site for archaeological excavations of later civilizations.”

“About artistic conception…”

“In order to ensure that its genes are not coveted and used by foreign races, and to cope with the dark invasion of the cold universe, the fourth-order life will prevent itself from suffering from deep space phobia and eventually losing its mind…”

“It will condense its own artistic conception with the huge spiritual energy in its body as its spiritual anchor to prevent itself from losing itself in the dark and boundless universe.”

“On the other hand, this unique way of synthesizing artistic conception will be rooted in the genes of the tribe’s descendants.”

"When the descendants enter the third stage, their spiritual energy is enough to condense the artistic conception, and then they can go through the trial."

"Once the trial fails, the artistic conception energy, as an existence that has already descended into reality, will continue to release its radiation pollution with the flesh as a carrier, distorting all low-level life in the vicinity, from biological genes to consciousness and spirit, without any escape."

Speaking of this, Long sighed.

The Scarlet Beetle is a fusion of the Zerg and the Red Clan, but the fourth-level Red King of the Red Clan escaped by chance in the decisive battle with the Zerg, and no one knows where he is now.

It has become a major concern for the Zerg.

"That's why Lin Feng stopped you from continuing to study the genes of the red beetles."

"Because the red beetles are not pure-blooded Zergs..."

Ling Shuyan, who was trying hard to digest this knowledge, quickly reacted after hearing this and immediately asked back:

"You mean, the red beetles have also integrated the genes of other races and civilizations, and that civilization is a cosmic race with fourth-order life..."

"So if you rashly conduct research, once the pollution of the artistic conception is triggered, it will attract this fourth-order existence."

"For the humans on Blue Star, it is another disaster!?"

Thinking of this, Ling Shuyan's brain area The super brain evolved by strengthening directly deduced the truth behind it:

"In this case, the other half of the genes of the red beetle also came from the planetary civilization that the Zerg had invaded?"

"And according to humans, the warrior hunter insects fused will also become an existence like the red beetle and be included in the biological gene reserve of the Zerg?"

"Snap!"

Ling Yi snapped his fingers and said with a smile:

"As expected of an awakener of brain evolution, his brain is faster than that of ordinary people."

However, Ling Shuyan's expression was still solemn, and she did not feel a trace of joy after learning all the truth.

She looked at Ling Yi and asked the question that had always existed in her heart:

"Then how did you know all this?"

Ling Yi shrugged, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

Then Ling Shuyan felt her body trembling uncontrollably.

Muscles and nerves all over her body twitched and jumped.

The words of Long Yi also floated in her ears:

"As you can see, I have passed the trial, mastered the spiritual realm of the Zerg Queen, and learned a lot of secret information about the Zerg."

"It also includes the control of biological bodies."

As the golden light in Long Yi's eyes dissipated, the frightened feeling on Ling Shuyan's body also disappeared in an instant.

Ling Yi, who is at the peak of the second level, has more than a thousand spiritual attributes. He only needs a glance to deal with Ling Shuyan, who is perfect in the late first level.

After personally feeling this invisible mysterious power, Ling Shuyan tried her best to suppress her rapid breathing, and finally understood why the other party in the operating room before would accurately point out any mistakes in the process.

She also understood why Lin Feng brought her with him and kept an eye on the progress of the operation.

It turned out that it was all to prevent accidents.

At this time, Lin Feng added:

"My subordinate Shen Jie is the original body from whom you collected genes. After you left, he was promoted to the peak of the second level and also started the artistic conception trial."

"Now that he has become an existence that masters the power of artistic conception, he can not only ignore the mental control of the mother queen, but also has the powerful strength to fight against her."

Ling Shuyan trembled with her hands and grabbed her knees:

"So from the beginning, you wanted to exchange the second-level insect eggs for nuclear bombs, because you really have a chance to kill the high-level mother queen..."

Lin Feng nodded:

"Otherwise, should I be the scapegoat?"

"Okay, the meal is almost over, let's go."

After speaking, he patted Liu Yueqi, who looked confused, and stood up to leave.

When he walked to Ling Shuyan, looking at the woman's slightly unwilling expression, Lin Feng whispered:

"After this transaction is completed, I will give you three second-level insect eggs to continue researching genetic warriors, as well as the Zerg warrior hunters, pulse scorpions, etc."

"Of course, you can also be promoted to the second level after killing them, so that if there are any changes in the experiment in the future, they can be suppressed and dealt with cleanly."

"Do a good job, and wait until the Wucheng decisive battle is over. There will be a lot of research that you need to do in the future!"

After that, he followed the two women.

At midnight, because the transformation operation was successfully completed, everyone came to the temporary base in Jincheng at Han Yuxin's suggestion to hold a celebration dinner.

Looking at Han Yuxin who changed into a slim dress, Lin Feng met her eyes.

The woman walked slowly.

She took Lin Feng's left arm and walked to the top floor of the hotel.
