Lin Tao did not stop the mecha masters from talking.

Buzz!

Suddenly, his watch rang again. He looked up and saw that it was Xie Annan again.

"Lin Tao, are you telling the truth? Can the shells of these monsters... Kongli really be used to make mechas?"

At this time, Xie Annan was also feeling excited, but as a member of the Interstellar Federation, he was naturally thinking about the Interstellar Federation. If these Kongli could really be used to make mechas, he would like to convince Lin Tao to hand over the bodies of these Kongli to the Interstellar Federation so as to deal with the eight powerful forces.

"Okay." Lin Tao responded. He hesitated for a moment and understood what Xie Annan was thinking. He couldn't help but chuckle again: "Captain Xie, we in Mingyuan Star Region still need to accumulate strength, so..."

"Lin Tao, don't forget, if the Interstellar Federation hadn't sent you large-caliber laser cannons, how could you have killed these Kongli?" Xie Annan asked in a deep voice.

Lin Tao smiled without saying anything. In fact, he could still see the truth behind this.

The Interstellar Federation seemed to be giving him weapons, but in fact it was just to test the strength of their Mingyuan Star Region and see if they could be trained as the vanguard to deal with the eight major forces.

Two thousand 200mm caliber laser cannons may seem like a considerable amount of weapon supplies, but when it comes to facing off against the eight major powers, these weapons are simply not up to par.

Seeing through it but not saying it out loud, Lin Tao chuckled and said nothing.

This made Xie Annan a little embarrassed. He also understood in his heart that these things would not be handed over to the Interstellar Federation on his own initiative from Lin Tao's appearance. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he changed the subject again, asking tentatively: "Lin Tao, when this batch of new mechas are produced, can you give me one?"

"Once all of us are fully equipped, if there are any extra, I'll reserve one for you."

Lin Tao was not xenophobic and nodded in agreement immediately.

Next, all the mecha technicians on Mining Star No. 5 were carrying Kongli’s body back to Area No. 7.

However, these Kongli were not Lin Tao's main purpose. He called Zheng Cheng and asked, "Zheng Cheng, can you transfer a group of underwater robots over?"

"Underwater robot?" Zheng Cheng was startled: "Are you going to go into the sea?"

Lin Tao nodded. The most important thing to him was still on the bottom of the sea. If it could not be salvaged, then his attempt to capture the 'shadow' would be in vain.

Zheng Cheng tapped his watch and a piece of information appeared.

This information is exactly the detailed information about the exploration of Mining Planet No. 5 that they found after they captured the Zhao family camp. It contains detailed records related to the Dead Sea.

"Lin Tao, the Dead Sea is 12,000 meters deep. We need at least advanced underwater robots to get down there." Zheng Cheng's eyes flickered. "There are no such underwater robots on Mingyuan Star. If we need them..."

He didn't say the rest, but Lin Tao understood that if he wanted an underwater robot with such deep-sea capabilities, he could only find Xie Annan again.

However, Lin Tao had just rejected Xie Annan not long ago. If he were to look for someone again, he would probably ask for a high price.

In this batch of Kongli, they lost a lot of enhanced mecha divisions and K223. Even if they had to give up a part of them, Lin Tao was reluctant in his heart.

"When our mecha designers come over, tell them to come to me directly."

After comparing the two options, Lin Tao chose a compromise, which was to produce it himself.

They do not have corresponding deep-sea pressure-resistant metals, but they have the shell of Kongli, and the shell of Kongli itself can withstand the high pressure of the deep sea.

Back to the lab.

At this time, Xinya was also researching gene enhancement drugs.

"Lin Tao, I heard that you encountered star creatures?" Before Xin Ya started researching genetic enhancement agents, she was also a biochemist and had a strong interest in some unknown creatures.

When she mentioned these star creatures, she looked as if she had just photographed a boyfriend, her expression was high and her face was filled with excitement.

"Yeah." Lin Tao responded.

"Lin Tao, can we try to use these Kongli genes..."

Before Xinya could finish, Lin Tao waved his hands again and again, and shouted sternly: "Don't think too much, your idea won't work."

Lin Tao knew what Xinya was thinking about using Kongli's genes to develop human genes at a higher level. Gene enhancement pharmacists of later generations also took the same route, and they came into contact with a wider variety of star creatures and had a large amount of materials.

But in this case, not only did they fail to use biological genes to develop human genes, but they discovered a very strange situation.

Even in later generations, only certain people knew about this discovery.

Lin Tao was able to know this secret because he used his photographic memory to conduct a wide-ranging learning campaign, and thus accidentally came across this information that was locked as top secret by the Interstellar Federation.

Deep within the human gene stack, there are genetic factors that are similar to those of space creatures.

Due to the existence of this genetic factor, not only can it not bring superhuman strength to humans, but it has caused changes in human genes, making humans more and more similar to star creatures.

Moreover, these genetic factors are not limited to one or two species of star creatures, but the genetic factors of all star creatures developed by humans until Lin Tao was reincarnated. They are all hidden deep in the human genes.

Once the genes of star creatures are integrated into the deep genes of humans, a qualitative change will occur, causing humans to slowly lose their sanity and eventually turn into small star creatures.

No one knows why, and no one knows why deep in the human genome, there are genetic factors similar to those of star creatures.

However, all this shows that there seems to be an inextricable connection between humans and space creatures.

This connection is a paradox.

Because, before the appearance of star creatures, humans had never come into contact with this special creature.

In later generations, Lin Tao, who had studied genetics, was very puzzled by this, because he could not imagine why there were genetic factors of star creatures deep in the human genes.

From the information, Lin Tao understood that this genetic factor could not be eliminated, as if it was innate to humans.

"Why?" Xinya felt a little aggrieved, her mouth was flattened into a ball, and tears welled up in her eyes.

However, although her movements were big, the light in her eyes flashed a few times, and then a hint of cunning appeared.

"No reason?" Lin Tao noticed her little action and shook his head: "If you do this, it will only make humans lose their minds, and eventually their bodies will change and become a species like Kongli."

"How could this happen?" Xinya was shocked, and at the same time, her eyes were filled with confusion: "How did you know?"

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart. He also wanted to figure out this problem. Unfortunately, his understanding of genetics was not as good as that of a mecha master. Otherwise, he might become a more capable biochemist than Xinya.

Seeing Xinya's aggrieved expression, Lin Tao frowned slightly. He opened his mouth, but in the end, all he could say could only be reduced to one sentence: "You will understand later."

Xin Ya felt extremely aggrieved. Seeing that Lin Tao had not given in, she could not help but ask again, "Is it really impossible? The bodies of those Kongli are really strong and can survive in the deep sea..."

"No? The superhumans cultivated using the genes of star creatures will only be mindless monsters, not real supermen." Lin Tao shook his head.

This is also the reason why later generations have always used plants or special substances, but have never used the genes of star creatures for research.

Xinya pouted and buried her aggrieved face in her chest.

Lin Tao frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He walked into the laboratory. He needed to improve an underwater robot that could enter the deep sea to see if he could find the existence of the Forbidden Shadow Stone.

Now, he already has the Shadow Prison Stone, and all he needs is the Shadow Forbidden Stone so he can go back and capture the shadow in the Bai family building.

Once he captures this figure, whether it is life or death, Lin Tao can use it to transform it into a small space object. This is a space mecha warehouse used to store mechas. If he can carry it with him, no matter where he goes in the future, he can be alone and does not need to worry about the issue of mecha reserves.

However, Lin Tao did not notice that when he left, Xin Ya, with her little face buried in his chest, suddenly had a determined look in her eyes.

She decided to ignore Lin Tao's words and continue to study genetic enhancement in this area.

After Lin Tao entered the laboratory, he kept thinking about the design drawings of the underwater robot and the design drawings of the improved mecha based on the Kongli body.

It was unknown how long it had been, and even when the spacecraft took off and entered the universe, Lin Tao did not notice.

As for the three meals a day, Zheng Cheng would send someone to bring them to Lin Tao's laboratory to prevent him from being distracted.

Because Zheng Cheng has followed Lin Tao for a long time, he understands that in his current state, he must have started designing a new type of mecha. Once it comes out of the research, it will bring them a refreshing new body.

Just like the new stealth material, K223 and the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang.

Sometimes, Zheng Cheng was also very curious as to why Lin Tao had so many strange ideas, but when he thought that these strange ideas of Lin Tao could eventually be transformed into real power, he didn't care so much.

At this stage, after they seized the Mingyuan Star Region, they needed some powerful armed forces the most. Once they were formed, not to mention the Star Pirates, even the Eight Great Families would not be their match.

Once that time comes...

Zheng Cheng's eyes flashed. In this era, many people clearly understood how the Su family became a powerful family.

The Su family! Thinking of this powerful family, Zheng Cheng felt a surge of heat in his heart.

The Zheng family is not a wealthy family, but it also has the same foundation as a wealthy family. Their surname Zheng is even more famous than the Su family. If the Zheng family can really develop into a wealthy family, not to mention Zheng Cheng and Zheng Tuo, even Zheng Kaichou, who is the deputy head of the federal planet on Mingyuan Star, will strongly support it.

Even though Zheng Kaichou is now the deputy chief of the planet, this is only for the Interstellar Federation. Under the rule of the Liu family, this is just an overrated title and has no meaning at all.

It is just an institution used to monitor the ruling power of the Liu family.
