Although Rodney reported that a survivor was found, strictly speaking it should not be called a survivor.
Because in the general sense, the other party is actually dead.
To put it simply, the attack of the Honkai Beast smashed the entire mecha, and then the pilot inside was thrown out of the broken cabin, and was pierced through the body by the tentacles of the Honkai Beast while waving and struggling. Considering that the diameter of a tentacle of the Honkai Beast is about one meter, basically everything is gone, including the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart.
"Isn't this already dead?"
Looking at the information in front of him, Tesla was confused, but Fang Zheng seemed very calm.
"With the technology of the Tiandao Palace, as long as your head is still there, you can be saved. What's more, you only lost some internal organs, which is not a big deal."
"But, she seems to be no different from an ordinary human being, right?"
Kiana looked at the survivor in the petri dish curiously and spoke. From the outside, it was just a cute little black-haired girl, no different from a human. She didn't have a long tail or horns, and she didn't have any weird things...
“That’s just on the surface.”
But at this moment, Danzhu was quite excited. After all, there were only two reliable biologists in the entire fleet, she and Tiayou, so the work of examining the survivors was also left to them.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that she looks the same as a human on the surface, but in fact her genes have been modified."
"After modification?"
"Yes, according to the information I have obtained, this genetic modification will allow her to photosynthesize!"
"Why?!!"
Hearing this, the girls screamed.
"Photosynthesis? Like plants?"
"Wait, could it be that this girl, like Selino, transformed from a flower into a human?"
As they talked, everyone couldn't help but look at Selino, who was held in Meigan's arms with a flower on her head. She was originally an alien plant given to Fang Zheng by Lala, but after it matured, it actually bore fruit and turned into a little girl. Noticing everyone's gaze, Selino happily raised her hands, waved them, and called out "MUA".
"I don't know about that. I only know that this girl can survive by converting energy through photosynthesis, and her eating cycle should be longer than that of ordinary humans. Specifically, she only needs to eat once every seven or eight days."
“This is really interesting.”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng shook his head. Although Selino was also transformed from a plant, her three meals a day were no different from those of ordinary humans. Of course, Selino would be very happy if Meigan watered the flowers on her head... But it was not known whether Selino could survive for several days without eating only through photosynthesis.
But it is very interesting that human genes can be modified to allow humans to photosynthesize. If you look at it this way, then is the girl now a human or a plant? Or is she some alien species?
It seems that this is indeed worth studying.
This is much more interesting than some new human superpowers or something like that. Humans who can photosynthesize, I wonder if they will become immortal...
"Tesla, how are things going over there? What have you learned?"
Although he was very interested in this girl who could carry out photosynthesis, it was normal that she could not wake up for a while. After all, her internal organs were blown away and she was exposed to the vacuum. If his ship girl had not acted quickly, she would have turned into space junk and drifted away. In this case, it was not easy to recover.
But let me say it again, this is the Tiandao Palace, as long as your head is still there, we can save you.
Of course, depending on the circumstances, it is possible to revive even if only the soul is left.
So Fang Zheng quickly shifted his focus.
"The skills of these people are quite interesting, but the materials are not very good."
Tesla looked up and spoke.
"Material?"
"That's right. Of course, considering the performance of the previous mechas, they can withstand such a large change in thrust without falling apart. Their structure and pressure resistance are impeccable. But I always feel that their basic craftsmanship does not seem to be very strong. Of course, it may be that the other party has other ideas..."
"A civilization that can go beyond the universe, no matter which world it is from, must be quite capable. It's normal to have some hidden talents."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm. After all, the Galactic Empire, which used transistor computers, could build star destroyers. He would believe it even if you said that there was a civilization that could use two pieces of wood to make a bullock cart and fly into the sky.
"Anyway, what did you gain?"
"No."
Tesla waved his hand and threw the sample on the table.
"The sample is severely damaged and contaminated by Houkai energy. I can't see anything."
"It doesn't matter if we can't tell. We can just look at their records and find out when the time comes."
Fang Zheng didn't care. He waved his hand and cut off the call. Then he looked at Rodney again.
"Rodney, did you find them?"
"Target locked, Commander."
"Very good, let it out for me to see."
"yes."
Soon, the screen flashed, and a spaceship appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
When people saw this spaceship, their first reaction was...
“It’s so ugly…”
The Herrscher of Consciousness spoke for everyone, and even if the others didn't speak, they mostly nodded in agreement with the Herrscher of Consciousness. After all, after arriving on Fang Zheng's warship, they had seen many warships of the Heavenly Dao Palace, whether it was the majestic and solemn Paladin class, or the shocking Divine Revelation class just from its size, or the majestic and magnificent Apostle class warships like a church, they all gave people an incomparable sense of beauty.
But this one... to put it bluntly, it feels like a prismatic iron pipe stuck in a stone, so earthy that it's hard to look at. This makes the girls who are used to seeing gorgeous and majestic space battleships very uncomfortable, just like after seeing a sports car, suddenly seeing an old Le in front of them.
Of course, this is just on the surface. In fact, this battleship is quite large. According to the data sent by the reconnaissance ship ahead, this battleship is about 25km long and 5km wide. It is already a very large space battleship, even larger than the Titan in the Azure Fleet.
Even if it is old-age entertainment, it is old-age entertainment in the size of a motorhome.
However, in many cases, the size of a warship does not necessarily equal its combat effectiveness. Because of the gravity-free nature of the universe, as long as the technology allows, you can build as big a warship as you want. For example, the Star Destroyer of the Galactic Empire is 19 kilometers long, which is also a behemoth. However, Fang Zheng said that as long as the Paladins line up and fire a salvo, the opponent will be directly penetrated.
This is similar to the battleship. During World War II, the battleship was the dominant force on the sea. However, after the aircraft carrier came out, this thing was left to gather dust in the museum.
But no matter how big an aircraft carrier is, it is afraid of submarines.
The big bluefin tuna is now circling the opponent's forehead, probably suffering from an occupational disease.
"Continue to monitor. We need to find out what's going on with these people first."
"Understood, Commander."
While Fang Zheng was leisurely drinking tea and chatting, the atmosphere on the giant battleship was extremely tense.
"No conclusion yet?"
Standing on the podium, a woman wearing a white mask asked in a low voice.
"Report to the commander, we are still analyzing it..."
“…”
Hearing her subordinate's answer, the masked woman remained calm on the surface, but her two hands were tightly gripping the railing, and her knuckles looked a little pale from using too much force.
She was very glad that she was wearing a mask, otherwise no one would know what expression she would show.
What on earth was that attack? ! !
For the woman, fighting against the giant monster was nothing new. Although she failed this time due to an accident, failure itself was not uncommon. She had faced difficulties far beyond the current one and had also overcome them.
However... the beam of light that suddenly appeared from the depths of the universe made the woman break out in a cold sweat.
What on earth is that? ! !
Until now, his subordinates had not come to a conclusion, and they who were monitoring the battlefield at the time did not even notice the existence of anything. However, the other side opened fire without any signs and without anyone noticing.
There are only two possibilities: either the enemy is firing far beyond his detection range, or the enemy has the ability to easily break through and paralyze his warship surveillance network.
No matter which one it is, it is not a happy thing for the masked woman who is the captain of this battleship.
In fact, it was not just her. Many people in the battleship were discussing this. Some thought it was an alien, while others thought it was just a natural phenomenon. Although the masked woman used her power as captain to ask everyone to keep this secret, she didn't know how long she could keep it secret.
The only thing that made people feel at ease was that the opponent's target was obviously the giant monster, not themselves.
But, it’s hard to say…
Thinking of this, the masked woman frowned. Now her subordinates are divided into two groups. One group believes that they should leave here immediately. No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with them. The other group believes that they should investigate the cause. After all, it is a kind of power that can easily destroy monsters. Isn't this what they want? Thinking back to the past, their predecessors also found weapons that can be used to destroy monsters in a mysterious ruin in the universe. Maybe history will repeat itself this time?
So...what should I do?
Listening to her subordinates' argument, the masked woman felt conflicted.
What should I do?
