Chapter 437 The Predator Civilization's Technology: The Flesh and Blood World Tree [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The spaceship's artificial intelligence kept issuing warnings, marking three planets with densely packed red dots.

The Predators did not, after observing new species of Xenomorphs and their greater strength and versatility than ever before.

Each Predator is equipped with more powerful and comprehensive technological equipment.

Although they admire primitive hunting, they are not fools and will not engage in a hunt with no chance of winning.

One after another, valiant Predators landed on one alien planet after another.

Predators roam the land, forming hunting squads to hunt down alien queens.

Predators are humanoid in appearance but have animalistic features, including sharp teeth, claws, a tall and strong build, and mostly beige skin.

Covered in network cables, the Predator can carry trophies and secure weapons and equipment. In addition, the Predator can use these cables to sense the weapons and equipment, and operate the weapon system with just muscle movements.

Predators have huge heads, suggesting a large brain capacity. They have thick hair, and their eyes resemble human eyes, but their vision is very different from that of humans. They have sharp teeth in their mouths, and four tentacles on the outside, which also have sharp fangs.

Faced with an overwhelming number of aliens that could fill an entire planet, the Predators used the "Omnipotent Cloaking Device" to completely conceal themselves through optical, electromagnetic, gravitational, and energy reactions.

In this way, the Predators become ghosts, wandering the planet's continents in search of suitable prey.

The Predators then use smart masks to scan, analyze, lock onto, and target enemies, developing strategies based on the situation to ensure they don't challenge enemies they are completely unable to handle.

Unfortunately, the Predators underestimated the Xenomorphs.

There are far too many types of aliens that Chen Hong has modified using bloodline genes from other worlds, with all sorts of aliens and all sorts of abilities.

Some aliens possess the ability to detect Predators.

The aliens all establish a telepathic network centered around the Alien Queen; if one alien knows, it's equivalent to a whole group of aliens knowing.

Therefore, Predators often find themselves surrounded and attacked by a large group of aliens as soon as they begin hunting their target alien.

As a result, the Predators suffered casualties quickly and the battle became very difficult.

Even with advanced weapons like the Plasma Shoulder Cannon, Plasma Beam Core Cannon, Electromagnetic Gauss Rifle, High-Frequency Melee Weapons (Wrist Blades/Folding Spears/Flying Discs), and Laser Arm Arm Cannon, the Predators were still overwhelmed and forced to retreat repeatedly when facing various types of dragon aliens, tyrant aliens, mythical beast aliens, evil spirit aliens, primitive aliens, and magical aliens.

Forced to resort to tactical miniature nuclear bombs to clear the area, the Predators survived thanks to their advanced beam shields.

But there are still too many aliens, and some species can even survive a small nuclear explosion.

The Predators were no match for the Predators and, after suffering heavy losses, had to request a spaceship to pick them up and end their training.

The Predator spaceship in outer space cast beams of gravitational pull to guide the remaining Predators back to their own ship.

"These new aliens are terrifying."

"Elder, these aliens are too much of a threat; they've gone beyond the scope of prey."

Why not just activate the [Retreat Particle Cannon] and blast the entire planet away in one shot, annihilating them all?

Some Predators became wary, recognizing the Xenomorph's immense power and terrifying potential, and wanted to nip the future threat in the bud.

Others have offered different perspectives.

"These alien species are very peculiar; it would be a shame to kill them all."

Instead, we should collect some samples, bring them back to civilization, and conduct research.

In this way, we will not only obtain a large number of new and powerful alien species as training materials, but also be able to use them as biological weapons in civilized warfare, expanding our territory and reaping more resources and benefits.

"No need for that trouble. We have already collected some blood samples, which can be used as gene samples for cloning research."

"That's not enough; we need to capture more samples for research."

"agree."

"pass."

Soon, the spaceship started moving, orbiting the planet and activating the [Gravity Ring Binding Device] to directly drop [Gravity Binding Rays] from outer space to capture the alien sample.

There were successes and failures.

Some powerful aliens broke free of their restraints and even flew off the planet to fight spaceships in outer space.

Some were blasted apart by the spaceship's powerful light cannons, while others interfered with or damaged the spaceship.

Finally, the Predators, in a fit of rage, activated the Retreat Particle Cannon, intending to blast the giant alien to pieces and shatter the planet.

At the critical moment, Chen Hong finally appeared.

They directly suppressed and sealed all the Predator ships, wiping out the invading Predators in one fell swoop.

By scanning and analyzing the spaceship, examining the database, and searching for the Predator's soul, Chen Hong obtained all the technologies that the Predator civilization had brought this time.

This includes advanced interstellar civilization technologies such as plasma weapons, electromagnetic gauss weapons, high-frequency weapons, laser weapons, beam energy shields, retractable particle cannons, and long-distance interstellar space jump technology.

And the most crucial power source is the particle reactor, which has a much higher mass-to-energy conversion rate than nuclear fusion technology.

According to Chen Hong's observations and calculations, the mass-energy conversion rate of the spacecraft's power core is as high as 35% or more!

It's important to know that even with controlled nuclear fusion technology, the mass-to-energy conversion rate is a paltry 0.5%.

The mass-energy conversion rate is the ratio of energy released by burning real matter with mass to the energy released by theoretically completely liberating matter.

The higher the mass-energy conversion rate, the more completely matter is converted into energy, the higher the energy released, and the higher the energy utilization efficiency.

In theory, the annihilation of matter and antimatter completely converts matter into energy, achieving a mass-energy conversion rate of 100%. The enormous energy generated by the mutual annihilation of 1g of antimatter and 1g of matter is equivalent to the power of approximately 1.5 to 3.3 Hiroshima atomic bombs.

That's why Chen Hong believes that matter itself is energy concentrated to the extreme.

For the same volume, the potential energy contained in matter is far greater than that in a pure energy body.

One day, Chen Hong will fully master the antimatter annihilation technology and apply it to his own cultivation system.

Therefore, any random stone or handful of soil by the roadside is a treasure trove of natural resources, from which one can draw enormous amounts of energy and nutrients.

The Dharma-ending Age is impossible.

When technology reaches its peak, magic, cultivation, and fantasy are everywhere.

There are three thousand avenues, different paths lead to the same destination.

Because there was no detailed technical data on the spaceship, Chen Hong could only reverse engineer the Predator civilization's technology using the existing equipment.

Therefore, it will take some time for analysis and deduction.

Looking at the particle reactor with a mass-energy conversion rate of up to 30%, and then at these primitive, savage, and bloodthirsty warriors who still retained their hunting customs, Chen Hong felt some doubts.

"Did this Iron-Blooded Civilization truly develop to its current level of civilization through its own research and development?"
Could it have evolved from a primitive tribe that was lucky enough to inherit the legacy of a higher civilization?

Otherwise, how could he be so bad?

It felt like they hadn't displayed the combat power and technology expected of an advanced interstellar civilization at all.

Instead, they pursue an inefficient combat method of individual hunting.

Even with an energy core boasting a 30% mass-to-energy conversion rate, a corresponding level of weaponry could not be developed.

Although some doubt that Ironblood Civilization is a fraud, it must be said that they are indeed qualified treasure deliverers.

They traveled billions of light-years just to deliver advanced technology to Chen Hong.

With the technological inspiration from the Ironblood Civilization, Chen Hong was fully capable of taking his own civilization to the next level and rapidly developing it towards the Milky Way and beyond.

In the following period, Chen Hong began a period of rapid and vigorous development.

He first used his overwhelming power to carry out a massive cleansing of Earth, ending the era of biohazards.

The zombie virus on Earth has been completely eradicated, but the remaining population is only 8000 million.

Compared to the previous population of 14 billion, the losses are devastating.

But every loss has its gain.

Humanity today is like a blank sheet of paper, perfectly clean; all class relationships and all systems of rule have been physically dismantled.

Chen Hong directly abandoned the federation-style alliance system and went straight to establishing the [Galaxy Human Civilization], tightly integrating all humanity into a single entity.

Under the pressure of survival, humanity was forced to unite and be integrated into a community of shared destiny by the newly emerging civilization.

The newly formed system is centered on Chen Hong as its supreme commander, with Skynet and a large number of robots serving as its management system, supplemented by a group of human elites.

They also possess a large number of biological weapon troops, with formidable military strength and abundant martial virtue.

There are also nanobots and a large number of robots, which greatly improve productivity.

There are numerous extraterrestrial planets serving as resource bases, continuously supplying Earth with resources.

To save Earth's ecosystem, Chen Hong combined virus technology, biochemical technology, alien and Predator technology to develop his own unique World Tree - the [Flesh and Blood World Tree].

This is a unique World Tree that can absorb geothermal energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, plasma energy, and particle energy, and convert them into bioenergy.

It can produce a fruit of flesh and blood, containing a large amount of life essence, which can replenish human life energy and promote evolution.

His sap even contains surging bioenergy.

The pollen it produces, once absorbed by the human body, can accelerate the evolution of all life genes on Earth and shorten the long evolutionary process.

With the help of Chen Hong's widely disseminated gene evolution drugs, the overall quality of human life is rapidly improving.

It possesses immense strength of hundreds of tons with ease and has an extraordinary self-healing ability; even if its heart is pierced, it can be completely repaired in less than 3 seconds.

The brain becomes smarter, IQ increases significantly, and the average person becomes a scientist.

It can even absorb the genes of other animals and actively evolve its own genes.

It's just that crude autonomous behavior can't compare to the precise control achieved by humans in the laboratory.

The direction of evolution is influenced by the fusion of genes, and there is uncertainty about it.

It's not as good as a detailed evolutionary design in a laboratory.

But even the rough work done autonomously is not life-threatening, as their life instincts will drive them to evolve in a direction that is more conducive to survival.

But most people would definitely choose to apply for the customized evolution plan provided by the civilization.

Anyway, the cost isn't particularly high; it's just equivalent to the contribution points of an average job for a year.

Moreover, the high-concentration nutrient solution needed for evolution is no longer necessary, as the flesh and blood fruit produced by the World Tree can replace it, and the life energy is more abundant.
