Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 87: Basics of Beast Taming
Before boarding the plane, Genze was still doubtful, unsure whether Huihua knew about some of his father's plans against him.

If Huihua really knew, he would undoubtedly be in an extremely dangerous situation. However, through the communication on the plane, he realized that Huihua seemed to deliberately avoid talking about his family situation.

This made Yuanze initially judge that there might be a disagreement between Huihua and his father. Despite this, he remained vigilant and took some necessary precautions.

The two agreed on a rule: Huihua would not help unless they encountered a supreme beast or other life-threatening situations. This agreement set a clear boundary for the relationship between the two.

Seeing Huihua lying quietly in the cabin with his eyes closed, Yuanze opened the message list. The first thing that caught his eye was the apology message from Rick, who regretfully said that if it weren't for the sudden situation at home, he really wanted to embark on this adventure with Yuanze.

He continued to scroll through the screen, checking the messages one by one, occasionally surfing the Internet and posting some light-hearted and humorous jokes.
"Yuan Ze, look at the time. You're still so leisurely." Astra projected herself. This was a new skill she had learned. Only Yuan Ze could see her image.

"The more tense the moment, the more you need to relax. If you keep tense while doing tasks, you will collapse."

Yuanze glanced and motioned Astra to look at the coach, "Look, isn't that coach also taking a break? It's just that the way he takes a break is different."

"As you wish."

The plane quickly arrived at the target location, and Yuanze and Huihua landed smoothly at the designated location. According to the plan prepared in advance, they began to set up infrared trigger cameras and traps in key areas of the forest.

This creature is likely to have inherited some of its pre-mutation habits, such as nocturnal nature, and should also have excellent camouflage capabilities. Otherwise, after the mutation, they would have probably become extinct long ago, rather than being encountered by adventurers.

……

One evening a few days later, after several days of intense searching, Yuanze and Huihua did not achieve much success. Exhausted, Yuanze chose a relatively open cave as his campsite, ready to have a good rest for the night.

Soon, everything was immersed in a dream. This was a rare peace after many days of exhaustion. In the dream, he met Ji Xueran again. Her smile was like a spring breeze, warm and peaceful.

Suddenly Yuanze felt an itch on his arm. He scratched it subconsciously, turned over and tried to continue meeting her.

Then, a subtle and sharp buzzing sound pierced the silence of the night, like an invisible little hand, teasing Yuanze's ears.

In a daze, Yuan Ze waved his hand, and the voice temporarily stopped for a while. Just as he fell asleep again, the voice became clearer and more arrogant, as if provoking him.

Yuanze turned on the lighting function of his battle suit, but as soon as the light came on, the sound immediately disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

He lay down again and closed his eyes. After a while, the voice appeared again, as if mocking Yuanze's incompetence.

"Fuck! I can't stand this anymore!"

Yuan Ze was really depressed. He had all the skills but was helpless. Its fighting power was almost the same as that of ordinary mosquitoes, except that it had a few more toxins that were ineffective against Yuan Ze.

But they have an ability to hide that gives Yuan Ze a headache. Whenever he tries to find their traces, they always manage to evade his search. And Astra is still secretly happy beside him, refusing to help at all.

Yuanze finally found where a few mosquitoes were hiding. He grabbed them with his palm and squeezed them hard. When he opened his hand, he found that none of them were killed and they all quickly escaped from his palm.

He had no choice but to take out the last bit of lizard venom and use it as an insecticide, but it turned out to be useless.

"Hehehe, I finally see you get defeated." Astra's projection appeared in the moonlight. She looked at Yuanze with a smirk and said, "This is not an ordinary mosquito. Its mouthparts can penetrate your battle suit and body defenses. It must be at least a high-level fusion-level mosquito."

"You don't help either."

"There are many mosquitoes in the South Seas. These mosquitoes are like the nemesis of mankind. Any source warrior who has not reached the scout level will be defeated when encountering mosquitoes of the same level." Under the moonlight, Astra revealed his projection and looked at him with a smirk.

Yuanze stopped talking to Astra. He gradually calmed down and used his five senses to capture the subtle changes in the outside world. He recalled the working principle of the life resonator and the unique "life frequency" of each creature.

The concept of this "life induction technique" took shape in his mind, which was similar to the soul induction described in fantasy novels. By synchronizing the life frequency of living things, he could even communicate with the source beasts that had not yet developed their intelligence, thereby achieving the effect of "controlling beasts".

Whether it is a tiny mosquito, a powerful higher source beast, or even a tiny microorganism, it can be controlled and communicated with in this way.

Yuanze's mind suddenly became clear. He no longer worried about the specific movements of the mosquitoes. Instead, he used the brain wave magnetic field of his mental power to capture and simulate the "life frequency" of these mosquitoes.

He closed his eyes and used his mental power to cover every corner of the cave. At the moment he entered the "flow", he felt that his body was completely transformed into a static frequency, as if it had merged with the entire cave.

But it was not easy, because the life frequency of mosquitoes was very weak compared to other creatures. After repeated attempts, he felt a slight fluctuation, but unfortunately it was just a small beetle.

After countless attempts and failures, when Yuanze was about to give up, he suddenly caught a subtle tremor in the depths of his soul. His consciousness passed through the endless darkness and finally touched another unknown world.

He captured the frequency of a mosquito flying towards him and connected it to his nerves, observing the world from its perspective. He even saw himself in an ethereal state.

Yuan Ze's mind moved, and the mosquito changed its flying direction. He manipulated the mosquito and released a special pheromone to attract more mosquitoes to fly in this direction.

"It's amazing! You can actually play it like this. I want to play this too." Astra, who was neurally connected to Yuanze, was also shocked by this scene.

"Don't underestimate me."

Yuanze came out of this state, raised his eyebrows and gave Astra a look that said "I'm awesome, right?"

Then he handed over control of his "second self's" nervous system to Astra so he could get a good night's sleep.
