Super Gene Optimization Fluid

It was hard to imagine that this massive warship had a hole large enough to let the Tomahawk pass through.

“Fully activate the illumination system,” Xia Fei commanded with both hands on the control sticks.

*Flash!*

Sixteen, high-intensity searchlamps extended from under the hull as white artificial lights illuminated the surroundings from different angles.

Xia Fei estimated that the hull and frame were probably at least over one hundred meters in width. According to the information obtained by the metal detector at close range, other than tritanium alloy, the warship was made using rare anti-electronic interference metal known as naz fluid, meaning that no type of electronic interference equipment could interrupt its normal operation.

A hull and frame that was one hundred meters thick! Instead, Xia Fei was actually more interested in the firepower of the ship that destroyed it. He could not even imagine how much firepower one would need to blast through armor plating of this thickness, but one thing was for sure; if a weapon could deal so much damage to such a massive warship, it was certain death when used against smaller warships. Battleships or even normal carriers might be blown into smithereens in one shot.

Who would have thought that such terrifying firepower existed somewhere out there? If someone attacked Earth with this kind of power, it would only take a few minutes to blow the whole planet into pieces.

The Tomahawk entering the massive warship was just like a bug that accidentally flew into a mansion. No matter how large the Tomahawk was, it was nothing compared to the warship in front of it.

After setting his destination, Xia Fei embarked toward the third region. No matter what, finding Old Porter was Xia Fei’s main goal.

The places Old Porter circled were incredible; it definitely was not something done randomly. It was possible that he had known of all these beforehand, so the best way to understand the situation was to get a hold of him first.

The Tomahawk embarked once again, and this time, it was the last purple area that Old Porter had circled. The last two places had shocking discoveries; who knew if the next one would be similarly surprising?

This place was a bit further, requiring six warps to reach.

As Xia Fei sat on the captain’s seat, all he had in his mind was that massive warship, which dwarfed his Tomahawk. It was not easy to let go of such a shocking image in his mind.

However, this supergravity zone was not suitable for building warships. Other things aside, even an ability user of Xai Fei’s calibre could not take it for too long, and normal humans or ability users of lower cultivation might not even survive for a minute, unless of course this area had not previously existed.

Looking at the map again, the location of the supergravity zone could be described as miraculous. It was surrounded by a void lacking anything that could be used as a landmark. This supergravity zone was just like a bridge, linking the Death Trio Star Region to other far away star regions.

Right when Xia Fei was deep in thought, Harris’s voice came through the communicator. “Xia Fei, it’s best if you come take a look. The initial analysis for the insectoid corpse is out.”

Xia Fei walked toward Harris’s room. It was quite impressive to be able to produce a report in such a short time with the lack of equipment.

“Did you find anything special?” asked Xia Fei.

Harris’s room was filled with many different types of small equipment for experimentation, which he had gathered while drifting in space for dozens of years. Although all this equipment was not of high quality, each one was portable due to the small size, good enough to serve as temporary scientific tools.

“Yeah, I discovered something similar to the zero-degree mezon on this corpse. From the preliminary results, it’s more than ninety percent similar,” Harris said in a deep voice.

“Oh”—Xia Fei slightly furrowed his brows—”the zero-degree meson also exists in insectoid brains?”

Harris nodded, handing Xia Fei a transparent piece of glass with a small sample of brain cells. “A section of this insectoid’s brain was shut off by the zero-degree mezon, but it wasn’t fully shut, with thirty percent exposed. Based on your account, I hypothesize that it’s an insectoid ability user.”

“Ability user!” Xia Fei was shocked. From Harris’s reports some time ago, he guessed that ability users also existed among insectoids, yet he did not think that he would get proof of it so soon.

“Are you sure,” asked Xia Fei.

Harris had a serious look on his face. “It’s been proven long ago that insectoids have a section of their brains blocked off, but never have there been any accounts of insectoid ability users, so we’ve got no idea what’s hidden in that region of their brains.

“Based on your account and the comparison of brain cell activity to you, I think that the sealed-off section of their brains may well be their ability region, and this one has the same ability as you do: speed!”

“An insectoid ability user,” Xia Fei muttered. “If insectoids have ability users, does that mean all sentient life has abilities, but for some reason, these abilities have become inaccessible?”

Harris took off his glove and put away the insectoid corpse into the spatial ring as he exclaimed, “You’ve already thoroughly read my report?”

Xia Fei gave a slight nod. “You were really detailed, so I gave it a careful and thorough read.”

It was always a great feeling to be acknowledged by someone. Harris then said with a smile, “I’ve mentioned this a long time ago to the old scholars of the academy, but they insisted that abilities are unique to humans. I really want to show them this corpse and tell them proudly, ‘You’re wrong! All sentient life in the universe has abilities!’

“Do you understand now why I’ve been working so hard to try and open the seventh brain region of every human?” asked Harris.
