Astral Cockroach

It took Banbu a full four days to recover the original power he had used to open the door.

Baba basked in the sun for four days and finally accumulated some energy.

"Baba, help me scan and check my body."

Baba replied, "My energy is only enough for scanning, not enough to support flight and movement."

Banbu immediately said, "Baizhu, be careful, hold Baba and circle around me."

"Zhiya?" Baizhu scratched his head, not understanding what Banbu wanted to do, but still did as he was told, picking up Baba, approaching Banbu, and circling around him.

After a while, Banbu asked, "Baba, how is it?"

Baba said laboriously, "Banbu, your soul has mutated, inside your heart... is that a metal core? Divine power patterns have been lit up! Why is this happening? The flame original power patterns on your body are very special. Is this the talent of this insect race? They have unlimited evolutionary potential! What race is this? Too strong! Also, there seems to be a more powerful gene lock, restricting the activity of certain important genes and suppressing your growth."

"Too strange! Banbu, the genes in your body have a similarity of up to 47.315% with human genes. Why would an insect race have the exact same genetic genes as humans? Also, 24.57% of the genes have no similar records in the human gene database, and I cannot analyze them..."

"..." Banbu said, "I just want to ask you, why have I become like this?"

Baba said, "The knowledge I have is not enough to analyze and explain the changes that have occurred to you. There are no similar records of insect races in my information database."

"Then... then forget it." Banbu retreated and asked, "Is my current physical condition still okay?"

Baba said solemnly, "Banbu, your physical condition is extremely poor. The divine power patterns in your heart are transforming your genes. You are also overusing original power foods to strengthen your genes. Your nutritional intake is seriously insufficient and slightly unbalanced. It is recommended to use TOM-D4 nutrient solution."

"In addition, your flame ability has greater development potential. Obviously, it is much stronger than your metal ability. It is recommended to focus on strengthening your flame ability. It is best to use TOM-G1 and FRT-G17 gene solutions to supplement the nutrients needed for growth."

"Uh... there are no gene solutions in this world." Banbu said, "Forget it, take it slowly. I will pay attention to my diet in the future and eat more vegetables."

Baba asked in confusion, "Doesn't this planet even have nutrient solutions? Don't the insect races develop technology? Why doesn't such a powerful race plunder other races?"

"..." Banbu said, "This is a primitive planet with zero technological civilization. As you can see, gene locks restrict them, preventing them from breaking through the cosmic life level and leaving this planet."

Baba was silent for a while and said seriously, "Banbu, based on your current physical condition, there will be a 2.3% risk of failure in the next sleep evolution."

A 2.3% risk of failure?

If he were still human, Banbu would definitely be terrified. As for now, he was already used to the life-and-death edge of molting and evolution, and instead rejoiced:

"That's not bad. It seems I can consider speeding up my growth."

Baba warned in a childish voice, "Banbu, if you continue to eat original power foods and accelerate your growth, the risk of failure will increase dramatically, exceeding 10%."

Banbu said indifferently, "I will take it easy. You can also help keep an eye on it and control the risk of failure within 10%."

After speaking, he stretched out his claw to pick up Baba from the ground, approached Baizhu, and said, "Baba, take another look at these two."

Baba scanned around and exclaimed, "Beast race, with a similarity of up to 84.11% with human genes, of which 79.1% of the genetic genes are exactly the same... How is this possible!"

Banbu comforted, "The universe is so big, it's probably a coincidence... Baba, don't panic, let's continue."

Baba was silent again, analyzing, "Baizhu only has a B-level cultivation talent, with low cultivation potential, and is not worth cultivating. Its physical condition is slightly better than yours. It is recommended to use... This planet has no nutrient solution. In the next evolution, there is a 1.2% risk of failure."

Baba said, and then asked in confusion, "Like you, there are traces of mutation in its genes stimulated by the metal core of the Dominator Realm."

"Yes. Baba, take a look at the Rat Overlord again."

Banbu held Baba and scanned the Rat Overlord.

Soon there were test results.

"The Rat Overlord has a similarity of 81.07 with human genes. It has an S-level cultivation talent! Did you teach it the 'Soul Seizing Secret Technique'? This is a capital crime! It has cultivated the secret technique to the peak of the first level. Banbu, didn't you pass the second level to it?"

"No." Banbu asked, "According to the current growth rate of the Rat Overlord, what is the probability of failure in the next evolution?"

Baba said, "Its physical condition is relatively good, and the probability of failure is less than 0.1%, which is within an acceptable range."

"Understood!" Banbu said, "Baba, we still have things to do. Can you stay in Baizhu's backpack for now?"

Baba replied, "Okay."

Banbu handed Baba to Baizhu, instructing it to take care of it carefully and take it out to bask in the sun when it was okay.

He felt very happy.

When Banbu was human, he had thought more than once about buying an electronic life to accompany him. The quality of the ones he could afford was too poor, and the functions were incomplete, so he didn't like them. The ones he liked were too expensive and he couldn't afford them.

He didn't expect to be able to get his wish on this planet, picking one up for nothing, and it was a top-notch configuration! A Rear Admiral with the Filin rank had the authority to access all the divine powers and genetic martial arts of humans, and must have handed them over to Baba for storage. The best thing was that Baba looked small, but in fact had all the functions of a supercomputer, with super computing power, which could help him deduce exercises, genetic martial arts, and even divine powers.

The only regret was that it was not cultivated from scratch. Baba obviously did not recognize him very much and seemed a little estranged and not very lively. Back then, on the Luan-K704 spacecraft, it was a well-known troublemaker and lawless.

...

Packing things up and returning to the treasure hunting base.

Banbu was in a great mood, and the insect also became generous. With a wave of his pulse wings, he took out 20 boxes of the 90 boxes of original power food he had harvested and handed them to the Redscale Roach King, asking it to distribute them to reward the warriors who helped with the transportation.

There were originally 10 original power crystals, but 2 were used, leaving only 8. Such valuable things would not be taken out for sharing. Lizhu Peak still had a large nest waiting for him to raise.

Next was the most important task of excavating and transporting the remains of the Boundary Tree.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

After a simple discussion, 10 high-level warriors were selected to repeatedly practice outside the illusionary barrier and trained for three days before starting the operation.

Banbu carried Baizhu and walked in the front.

10 high-level warriors formed a long line, following behind, tying their antennae with spider silk rope, with a distance of 1.5 meters between each other, connecting into a string.

The Rat Overlord also mastered the ability to distinguish directions with a compass within the illusionary barrier, walking at the rear of the team to guard the formation. In case a warrior accidentally left the team, he would step forward to help them return to the team.

Arriving at the wreckage, the team stayed outside and stayed in place.

Banbu, with the Rat Overlord and Baizhu, first transported the bags to the inside of the wreckage one trip at a time, placing them at the door of the cabin, and then dumping the bags into the cabin one trip at a time.

Baizhu and the Rat Overlord immediately climbed to the top of the Tata Boundary Tree trunk and used the Silver Edge Cutting Knife to chop off pieces of debris.

Banbu was not in a hurry to work, but took Baba out of the backpack and asked, "Baba, have you been here before?"

"I've been here! It's Tata! I used to play with it often." Baba said sadly, "Tata is dead..."

Banbu said, "It's not completely dead, it's hanging on by a thread. I moved it to Lizhu Peak, and you will be able to see it later."

"Really?" Baba was surprised.

"Of course!" Banbu said, "Baba, since you've been here, you must remember the location of the spare energy power box, right?"

"I remember." Baba said, "In the 5 o'clock direction, it's in the corner, and there are 2 first-level source crystals connected to the spare power box."

"I remember there is also a larger spare power box on the left side of the hatch, which supplies power to the hatch and uses superconducting wires, without source crystals."

Banbu asked, "A spare power box, 2 source crystals should be enough, right?"

Baba replied, "Enough."

Banbu immediately stepped forward, touching the wall with his antennae, sensing with his metal ability, quickly finding the location of the power box and source crystal embedded inside the metal partition, and began to use his metal ability to cut the metal plate.

The metal material had high strength and a thickness of 8 centimeters, which was more difficult than opening the door. Banbu only cut a straight line 2 centimeters long before stopping. He flew to the top of the Boundary Tree branch and used his forelimbs to cut the wreckage into small pieces and throw them down.

According to the plan, they would transport one load every 2 days, and then go out to eat and rest for one night. The Boundary Tree trunk was too huge, and the entire transportation plan would last for more than half a year. Banbu planned to go out to recover his consumption and then come back to continue cutting, not in a hurry, gradually digging out the power box and source crystal, and then getting a few kilometers of wire back.

The power box stored electricity, and the source crystal converted the electricity into ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves. Baba could absorb these electromagnetic waves and convert them into electricity, and then store them in her own spare battery.

Once he got the battery, source crystal, and wire, the only thing missing was a power generation device, which would be easy to solve.

Electrical energy was a secondary energy source, which humans began to skillfully use in the first-level civilization. It had irreplaceable advantages of low cost and easy conversion. Entering the interstellar era, it was still used as a daily life energy source on intergalactic transport spacecraft.
