Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 253 Lizard-like Life

Guo Zhe hovered in mid-air, looking down at the glacial land with its many ravines. After receiving the film and television data transmitted by Xiling, he aimed at a position and fired a high-energy laser beam with continuous power.

The ice melted, the rocks cracked, and they descended hundreds of meters, revealing a suddenly open underground space.

Under the intense light, countless small reptiles fled in panic, their appearance exactly matching the frozen creatures in the pictures sent by Xiling.

Humans feel both fear and curiosity when faced with the unknown, Guo Zhe thought to himself in amazement.
"Sister Xiling, are there really underground life forms? Are they aggressive?"

Xiling is merely a goddess of human civilization, not a god of the universe, he replied immediately.

"I don't know either; you'll have to figure it out for yourself."

This dark space has never seen sunlight for millions of years. It is very large, contains liquid water, and has a relatively high temperature, above zero degrees Celsius. It is likely that life arose from the melting of external glaciers by geothermal energy.

Relying on his superior mobility, Guo Zhe began to capture these creatures. After much effort, he caught one, but then an unexpected event occurred.
The fleeing brethren began to gather, surrounding Guo Zhe like a tidal wave. They were everywhere, above, below, and all around him. Anyone with trypophobia would definitely faint on the spot.

Guo Zhe, holding a lizard-like creature in one hand, smacked his lips and said...
"These things seem to be aggressive and very united."

Xiling's tone was extremely serious.
"Don't be careless. According to general rules, all life forms in rock formations are corrosive. Get out quickly!"

Guo Zhe emitted a powerful laser from his other hand, blasting anyone who approached it with a temperature exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius, deterring millions of lizard-like creatures from crossing the line.

Even though humans have undergone several upgrades and are still equipped with armored vehicles, they still feel uneasy when faced with overwhelming numbers.

"Okay, I'll bring one out alive to study it, then we'll retreat immediately!"

The hole that had been breached earlier became a no-go zone for lizard-like creatures. The armored vehicle's anti-gravity and acceleration systems roared and suddenly unleashed a terrifying acceleration, carrying Guo Zhe straight toward the light.

The creatures emitted strange sound waves, and the still 'tide' suddenly became violently agitated. They used their bodies as weapons and rushed towards Guo Zhe!

Enemies were coming from all directions; even overhead, these lizard-like creatures were lunging at us. The peculiar sonic waves grew increasingly intense, even reaching the level that triggered the Kabuto's alarm.

"High-energy ultrasound detected. Filtering system activated. Energy spectrum mapping in progress."

Guo Zhe's reaction was equally swift, and with the increasing speed of his armored vehicle, he quickly shook off the Black Tide behind him and burst out of the underground space.

Upon exiting, they discovered that the armor was covered in a dark green liquid. The lizard-like creature in their hands, unable to withstand the low temperature, began to struggle violently, sensing the threat to its life.

The aircraft descended from the sky carrying a temperature-controlled box, which Guo Zhe quickly threw inside.

"Sister Xiling, this thing is a bit dangerous!"

He raised his hand and wiped away a bit of liquid, revealing slight signs of corrosion on the exposed outer shell. This was a super nano-metal made by the Materials Department, the kind of armored vehicle that could cross the atmosphere at high speed without any damage, yet it was corroded.

This liquid is probably a level more corrosive than fluoroantimony!
Return to the White Emperor fighter jet.

Guo Zhe only removed his armor after the outside gas was purged from the interior, and the Second World was abuzz with discussion because of his discovery!
Unknown life in the Barnard Galaxy makes headlines

Many people, both acquaintances and strangers, are sending him inquiries.

What is this thing?

"Old Guo is the best! I'm coming to find you!"

"Is there any room left, Lao Guo? I'd like to join you!" Guo Zhe responded to a group of people, including those from the biotechnology department.

"Guo Zhe, can we bring back live samples for research?"

He replied,
"No problem, I'll activate the insect bridge teleportation once I return to the starship."

This is the driving force of current human civilization: one person's information can immediately become the information of the entire civilization, and then a huge analytical support team will turn the unknown into the known at the fastest speed.

When Guo Zhe returned to Ark 3 in the White Emperor fighter jet, besides his wife Anna, there were several childhood friends, including a famous tycoon, Luo Yinxi.

With her at the head of the group, Guo Zhe exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss, what brings you here?"

Luo Yinxi is a few years older than Guo Zhe, and he's not in her social circle, but that doesn't mean they don't know each other. On the contrary, almost all the children of Xiling Company employees know each other.

However, Luo Yinxi, Chu Tianshu, Lin Xi, Ding Mian and others are more famous, and therefore receive respect and support.

Luo Yinxi stepped forward and playfully punched Guo Zhe, praising him.
"Good job, kid. I came here to get samples to take back and study, of course. What, are you surprised?"

Other friends chimed in.

"Little Zhezi, the boss herself came all this way, how dare you not give it to me?"

"We all came here to explore the Barnard Galaxy, but we never imagined that life is so widespread in the universe!"

"But that makes sense. Over a timescale of billions of years, what can't evolve? Before human civilization, we were really like frogs in a well."

"The roaming project is about to usher in an epic boom. Standing on the shoulders of our predecessors and using worm bridges to traverse distances, in just a few years, human civilization will discover more life!"

Everyone chattered amongst themselves, eager to immediately travel to the future and witness the brilliance of human civilization!

Guo Zhe and Anna stood together, infected by the enthusiasm of the crowd, and said in unison,
"That's for sure. Under the leadership of our leader and goddess, our journey will reach the stars and the sea!"

Luo Yinxi's eyes held the same burning passion, but she had other matters to attend to, so she said...

"Alright, you guys can go ahead and show off your skills here. Give me the stuff first, I'm going back, I'm busy to death all day long."

Anna wasn't very familiar with Luo Yinxi, so she stayed by Guo Zhe's side the whole time without saying a word. Guo Zhe looked at Luo Yinxi and said...
"Boss, aren't you going to stay a little longer? We're about to embark on a larger-scale exploration."

Luo Yinxi shook her head.
"No, the research on the third-generation super gene is progressing very quickly. I wouldn't have come if it weren't for the emergence of a completely new species."

Someone followed up with the question,

"Big Sister, how far have you progressed with the gene engine?"

Luo Yinxi had no intention of hiding anything from these people; there was no need.
"This project is very difficult. Even with the combined efforts of all mankind, progress is still slow. Even with leaders personally joining the research, there are still many problems that need time to verify and overcome."

"However, in proportion to the difficulties, once we create the gene engine, we will evolve to an incredible level."

The eyes of those present burned with fervor, their already unwavering beliefs becoming even purer. It was they who formed the fuel that enabled human civilization to flourish!
