Dawn Spider

Chapter 199 Gene Sampling (Part 1)

Jin unleashed his mental energy, repeatedly scanning the equipment while simultaneously pacing around it, his gaze sweeping over and inspecting it.

The first section of the device, corresponding to the phylum Chordata, has been significantly modified, while the remaining 37 sections are all original.

All items are well preserved and appear to be in normal working order.

Jin's mind raced, and he unleashed his mental energy in a circular motion, scanning all the small rooms in the underground workshop. He formed a rough deduction in his mind.

The home planet must have a dedicated surveillance system for scanning and monitoring the planet's ecology and searching for criminal hideouts.

This system is definitely controlled by an AI, and it typically starts up irregularly to scan and collect data, perform calculations and analysis, and notify relevant departments to handle any problems it detects.

This illegal workshop would likely be detected by the system as soon as it opened its doors. To evade monitoring, these criminals have built a water and air circulation system, as well as the crucial Force supply system. Most of the time, the place is closed, only being opened during the monitoring system's routine maintenance. During these brief intervals, customers come in from outside and leave from inside.

Because it was an extremely profitable industry, the Force supply system held a massive reserve of Force Crystals. For unknown reasons, all the humans on the planet died, but the Force supply system continued to operate.

Within the enclosed space, the Force could not easily dissipate, and there were no living beings consuming the Force. Therefore, the Force state lasted for a very long time, surviving the long period of Force dormancy during the cosmic extinction. The Force equipment in the workshop had a high level of Force energy, so it was preserved relatively well.

...

Jin Xin's heart stirred, and he flashed into the control room, heading straight for the control panel, quickly scanning and inspecting it with his eyes and mental energy.

The King of the Curcuma Insects immediately followed and said, "This device also seems to be in good working order. We filled it with 120 primal crystals, and it can start up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin had already found the start button.

A white light rises, forming a white holographic screen covered with densely packed black and green characters, displaying the device's operating status.

This is a set of gene data acquisition devices. The core of the device is a Force gene stripping device, which can restore the genes of Force warriors to their original state and then extract genetic data.

Following behind Jin, the King of Eshu Insects watched as Jin rapidly tapped on the screen, the characters constantly changing and completely incomprehensible. After patiently waiting for a while without any response from the device, he couldn't help but ask:

"Jin, how is it? Have you figured out what these things are for?"

"Not yet."

"..."

The King of the Curculigo Insects was silent for two seconds, then changed his approach and asked, "So, what do you guess it's used for?"

Jin looked blankly at him and said, "I can't guess."

"..."

The King of the Eshu Insects then changed his approach, asking, "How many of these alien characters do you recognize? What do they represent?"

Jin said, "It's too complicated and verbose. I don't recognize most of the characters, and I can't guess what the combination of characters is trying to express."

The King of Eshu Insects said irritably, "Then what are you flipping through?"

Jin said, "I'll see if I can guess the meaning of any long characters, and then deduce the meaning of the individual characters sandwiched in between, thereby increasing the number of alien civilization characters I recognize. I'm trying to decipher and recognize more alien characters."

"Forehead……"

The King of Curcuma Insects said, "Then please take your time flipping through it!"

Jin pretended to flip through it, briefly glancing at the customer database.

We couldn't find any valuable content. The shady operation was quite professional; they even numbered their clients, kept their names anonymous, and encrypted their files.

If the equipment is still functioning properly, then by simply decrypting these encrypted files, we can use the existing genetic data to create humans.

Cracking it isn't difficult. Just disable the device's security features, write a decryption program, and spend some time cracking it.

Jin was torn: Should she give it a try?
After thinking it over, I decided to give up. Currently, there aren't even primates on our home planet, which is clearly a deliberate act by the true god of nature. The purpose is simple: to prevent the evolution of an innate intelligent species over the long course of time.

At this stage, the existence of humankind is definitely not allowed on Earth.

Jin simply hid the relevant information.

Jin then thought of another question:
—Could I use this equipment to create a Flame Spider descendant with a direct genetic relationship to myself?
—If possible, could one inherit their spatial talent?

—If that's possible, wouldn't that mean that the nature pantheon now possesses the Flame Spider race, which has an innate talent for spatial manipulation?
—The Nature God race, which has inherited the wisdom and power of the true God of Nature, and is further endowed with spatial talents, will inevitably become the strongest race in the universe!
"To create our own, the most powerful race—just thinking about it is exhilarating."

"My evolutionary level is still very low, just at the advanced level. My Force genes are not yet fully formed. Theoretically speaking, the probability of success is very high!"

"In the future, I'll lead a huge swarm of insect offspring, traversing the starry sky and dominating the universe. Just thinking about it is awesome!"

Jin pondered, a surge of excitement rising within him.

After pretending to study it for a while, he controlled the spider silk to click rapidly, the screen flashed, and he jumped to the gene data collection page, where he clicked to confirm.

With a humming sound, the metal plate of the device split open, sliding to both sides to reveal a circular hole.

At the same time, a prompt appeared on the screen: [Please provide a gene sample]

Jin turned around, looked around, and used his mental energy to scan rapidly.

A suspicious box was found in a room in the workshop that appeared to be a warehouse.

His figure flickered and appeared directly inside the warehouse. He injected his Force, and the metal sealed box opened directly, revealing a whole box of 'gene sampling test tubes' inserted vertically inside.

Jin manipulated the spider silk to extract a strand, scanned it with his mental power, and examined it carefully. He quickly understood how to use it.

Unscrew the seal to reveal a dense array of sharp needles inside. Open your mouth and insert them into your oral cavity, while another spider silk emerges and you press the button behind you.

A barely perceptible tingling sensation; the needle pops out and immediately retracts back into the metal cylinder, which then closes automatically.

Gene collection is complete.

The golden figure flashed again, entered the operating room, and inserted the gene sampling tube into the equipment hole.

The metal cover slides and closes automatically.

The screen flickered, and a notification appeared: [New gene sample detected]

Then it will automatically redirect to two options: [Reset] or [Start].

Jin hesitated for a fraction of a second, then decisively pressed [Start].

The screen flickered, and tiny black characters popped up and jumped around rapidly. Jin could read, but he didn't understand the various specialized terms in the field of biotechnology.

It seems there's nothing wrong.

This set of gene data acquisition equipment was modified and pieced together. Even the program that controls the collaborative operation was crudely written, rather than the original.

"Something's not right with your spider..."

The Sumeru Insect King was completely bewildered. Suddenly realizing that Jin's behavior was very strange, he questioned, "Spider, what are you doing? Do you know the purpose of the device?"

"I guessed a little bit."

Jin raised his claws, two spider silk threads twisting to form the characters 'gene', and mumbled, "I've seen these two characters in other ruins, and I've seen a lot of these characters in two sets of equipment..." "The meaning of these two characters seems to be related to 'bloodline,' and these two sets of equipment also seem to be related to bloodline inheritance."

"Our Zerg warriors cannot reproduce after awakening their Force. Are the Force warriors of other races also unable to reproduce? I suddenly had a thought: could this device be used to help the Force warriors of other races raise offspring?"

"The metal cylinder I just took out of the box looks like something used for collecting blood..."

Jin said, "I thought about it and tried it out, and now it looks more and more like it."

"..."

The insects looked at each other in bewilderment.

There's such a device?

What's the use?

In the natural pantheon, only the ordinary members of the Flame Spider tribe are born with spiritual intelligence and place great importance on bloodline inheritance.

Other insectoids would shelter a group of ordinary members of their own kind within their own territory, and if a Force Warrior was born, that person would be considered their 'direct descendant,' or they would find one in the wild and recognize it as their descendant.

"Jin, are you kidding me?"

"They're already Force Warriors, what use are their juniors?"

“Everywhere there are ruins where ordinary people of different civilizations lived, and there are countless ruins. Aren’t they all their descendants?”

"Are the alien Force warriors lacking successors?"

"We can have as many as we want, why would we need to build such a large set of equipment specifically for cultivating them?"

"Could it be that they directly cultivate a successor who awakens the Force? That's impossible, isn't it?"

"This is absolutely impossible. It violates the laws of nature and the rules governing the birth of beings born from the Force."

"Similar to how the ant tribe and termite clans raised Zoro, if a successor with awakened Force is directly raised, then that successor can only be a half-Force life form..."

The insects questioned and could not understand this behavior, leading to various speculations.

Jin Youyou said, "If I could, I would raise a bunch of blue-purple flame spiders just like me."

The insects, who were arguing, questioning, and puzzled, were stunned upon hearing this.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, I think I understand now.

The King of Curcuma Insects asked, "Jin, what are you doing right now? Or rather, what is this device doing right now?"

Jin said uncertainly, "It seems to be reading my bloodline information..."

The insects looked at each other in bewilderment again, then erupted in chaos.

"Little Spider, are you planning to raise a clan of blue-purple flame spiders just like you?"

"A Flame Spider clan that has awakened its lightning-type talent?"

"There are also those powerful alien powers?"

"If we can pass on our heterogeneous power talent and comprehend heterogeneous abilities like the Purple-haired Goldfish, then the Blue-purple Flame Spider will be extraordinary!"

"What's so great about it? There's something you guys don't know?"

"what's up?"

"Only one life can be born from the purple hair!"

"Yes!"

All the insects turned their gazes toward Jin.

"..."

Jin had also considered this question, and said uncertainly, "I think we should first figure out the purpose of the equipment."

Jin added, "If I'm not mistaken, this device should mimic natural creatures to reproduce. So I should contribute half of my bloodline, and the other half, which I'll collect from a normal Flame Spider, should be able to repair the life sac."

"..."

After a brief silence,
The Sumeru Insect King said happily, "Let's figure out the purpose of the equipment first. If it's really as the little spider speculated, then this equipment still has great practical value."

“We could also consider training a group of little bugs with our own bloodline. If we could then train Force warriors, they would be true direct descendants, bloodline offspring.”

"..."

The insects reacted differently.

Some people's eyes lit up; they thought the idea was great and were very interested in it.

Some, however, showed absolutely no interest.

A clever insect immediately thought that the descendants of Force Warriors, even if they are not Force Warriors, should have a higher probability of awakening, right?

Jin spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Our Flame Spider tribe's emphasis on bloodline inheritance is not without reason. For example, our Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord has exceptionally high talent. He awakened his elemental talent and comprehended abilities at the advanced warrior stage. When the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord moved from Lord Famu's Purple Sandalwood Mountain to settle in Silk Sunflower Mountain, he mainly took with him ordinary little Flame Spiders who were related to him by blood."

"Currently, there are only two young warriors on Mount Sikui: me and Yin. I successfully inherited that superior bloodline and super talent, and also awakened elemental talent at the advanced warrior stage."

"The other warrior, Silver, is not very lucky; his talent is average."

"All things considered, the probability of this producing a warrior with exceptional talent is very high."

“Similar examples abound in the Flame Spider tribe. Everyone has noticed this phenomenon, which is why they pay attention to bloodlines and strive to optimize them.”

"For another example, our Silk Sunflower Mountain only has three Flame Spider Warriors in total, and both of them, including myself and the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord, are exceptionally talented. This shows that the bloodline of our Silk Sunflower Mountain is superior. Therefore, other peaks come to our Silk Sunflower Mountain to introduce young Flame Spiders, take them back, and mix them with the young Flame Spiders in their own territories to improve the quality of their own bloodline."

"This measure must have played a role in enabling the Flame Spider tribe to develop into a super tribe with a population of over a thousand."

"So, could other tribes' Zerg warriors select warriors with exceptional talent, collect their bloodlines, use equipment to cultivate offspring, and then infiltrate ordinary tribes living on the mountains to spread their superior bloodlines? In this way, the bloodlines of the tribes could be improved, and theoretically, the probability of giving birth to Force warriors, as well as Force warriors with exceptional talent, would increase."

"!!!"

The Sumeru Insect King immediately thought of this.

Some of the insects thought of it immediately.

The dull-witted insects, after hearing Jin's explanation, immediately understood the value of the equipment and excitedly raised their antennae.

This equipment can bring prosperity to the tribe! Its value cannot be measured by raw stones or raw food.
