Chapter 124 001 Origin A pale blue with a hint of gold...
Thirty-five years ago, a team secretly transporting the colorful stones encountered a small group of fleeing space pirates.
The pirates seemed to be being chased by something terrifying. The hull of the starship they were riding was covered with cracks. Not to mention experiencing another collision, there was a risk of disintegration even if the speed was slightly higher.
Normally, in such a situation, the starship would have to be abandoned, but I don’t know what happened with this group of pirates. Even though the starship was in tatters, they didn’t abandon it, and there were high-level female insect guards outside.
These female insects looked like they had just experienced a fierce battle. They were all filled with murderous aura. Their combat uniforms were caked with brown bloodstains and their faces were so dirty that it was unrecognizable. Some of the female insects were even wrapped in hemostatic bandages, looking like they had just experienced a difficult battle.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the royal team transporting the colorful stones did not want to waste more time with these desperadoes and prepared to change their route.
Unexpectedly, they wanted to let the pirates go, but the pirates were like star beasts that had seen blood and did not want to let them go.
Two hours later, the Royal Squad wiped out the pirates, at the cost of a third of their casualties. Then, within the wreckage of the starship, which had been shattered by their bombardment, they discovered a creature similar in shape to their own, sealed within a hard brown crystal.
The brown crystals were extremely large and had very low transparency, so they couldn't clearly see the appearance of the creature sealed in the crystal.
The brown crystal was not any energy crystal they knew. It was made of very hard material. Under the violent bombardment, even the starship turned into scrap metal floating in the universe, but this crystal was not damaged at all.
Thinking of the state of those space pirates, the captain of the royal team felt that they were probably so desperate to protect this crystal.
After much deliberation, the captain of the royal team decided to bring the crystal back to the central star and hand it over to the Insect King Hoover Walker.
The Zerg King Hoover Walker was very curious about the creatures in the crystal. After checking with a machine, he found that the height of the creatures in the crystal was similar to that of the male Zerg.
What shocked Hoover Walker the most was that this "male insect" was still alive, the cells in its body were abnormally active, and it even had brain waves.
This is simply amazing, but it’s not just the “male insects” in the crystal that are amazing.
The huge crystal that wraps around the "male insect" is also made of an unknown material that has not been discovered so far. With the equipment they have available, they can only detect that the crystal contains huge energy. This energy is restrained and not released, which is probably the reason why the "male insect" is still alive.
Hoover Walker thought about breaking open the crystal, taking out the "male insect", and then studying the crystal and the "male insect" carefully.
Unfortunately, they tried every method they could think of, but were unable to break the crystal without harming the "male insect" inside.
Gradually, Hoover Walker lost interest in this crystal that he could neither use nor study, and threw it to the Imperial Research Institute, asking them to study it slowly.
The Imperial Research Institute had no idea what the Insect King was thinking. After thanking the Insect King profusely for his reward, they began to study the crystal.
After a year of research, researchers discovered that under extremely high temperatures, the crystals become soft and elastic. Although they still cannot be cut, the hardest needle can penetrate the interior of the crystal.
A few days later, the researchers used a special needle to extract blood, hair, cell and other samples from the "male insects".
A day later, the researchers were shocked!
Among the samples obtained, the researchers found that this creature, which was highly similar to a male insect, was indeed a male insect.
In addition, they also discovered an unknown substance in the genes of male insects. This substance is what they have been pursuing for hundreds of years. It is a substance that can stably expand the spiritual sea of the Zerg and redevelop.
Although there is still a certain risk, it is much better than their previous failure rate of nearly 100%.
Moreover, if this special substance is used continuously on the experimental subjects from the beginning of their cultivation, the success rate may increase.
However, this substance is too precious. With their current extraction technology, and objective reasons such as there is only one sample body and the replication of the body is unsuccessful, it is impossible to extract it in large quantities to supply the experimental subjects.
In order to prevent the "resources" from being exhausted, they were extremely cautious and only used this substance when the experimental subject was finally taking shape.
Sure enough, with the help of the unknown substance, the success rate of the experimental subject at the last moment reached 1%, and special abilities would be stimulated 100%.
A 1% success rate may sound pitifully low, but compared to the previous almost zero chance of success, it is already a major breakthrough.
Moreover, not only have the spiritual seas of these experimental subjects been broadened, their physical data have increased exponentially, and the abilities they have stimulated are also very powerful and not just one.
This is a breakthrough of the century in this experiment.
The researchers celebrated wildly, reported the results, and named the male insect in the crystal - Creator No. 001.
From then on, No. 001 also had a reputation among the Insect Emperor.
Later, as the research deepened, the researchers discovered that No. 001 was showing signs of awakening. The crystal surrounding him was shrinking year by year, as if it was being absorbed by the crystal. It was quite amazing.
However, what surprised the researchers the most was that this "crystal" that had been sleeping for a long time showed spatial properties one night.
"It" transferred itself out of the enclosed space, and almost scared to death the assistant researcher who was cleaning up the room of Subject 001 the next day.
After multiple verifications including monitoring, personal observations, and various experiments that were both proven and not proven, the researchers finally determined that it was not the crystal that had spatial properties, but the male insects in the crystal.
This discovery once again caused an uproar in the entire institute.
The attribute of space is a realm close to that of "God". Even though current technology can support various races to jump in space, they only use the small wormholes naturally formed in space to jump across dimensions, which is not considered to be a true mastery of space jump.
Now, this ability appeared clearly before their eyes, and the flames of desire burned in every researcher's eyes.
Some researchers have put forward the argument that the difference of No. 001 comes from its spatial properties, and the crystal surrounding No. 001 is likely produced by No. 001's ability.
Although this argument has no evidence to support it, the importance of No. 001 has been increased again.
The institute was afraid that 001 would wake up and escape, or that he would travel around with the crystal while unconscious, so they installed a positioning and tracking device inside the crystal and designated an entire area of the institute for 001.
No. 001 was also officially handed over to Lucius Cherri, director of the First Laboratory, and the First Laboratory moved to the area where No. 001 was located.
Not only that, Church Gale, director of the Imperial Research Institute, also asked the Insect King for a small wormhole to enter and exit the black market.
Using small wormholes and electromagnetic fields, a "formation" similar to the seal in fantasy novels was set up in the area where No. 001 was located. It is said that it can disrupt the spatial power of No. 001.
Even the director, Church Gale, himself didn't know whether it was useful or not. Anyway, after the "formation" was completed, the male insects never ran around again.
They lived in peace for many years until the incident ten years ago.
In that incident, experimental subjects 001, 003, and 004 disappeared, 002 died, the old director Church Gale died, the director of the first laboratory Lucius Cherri, and six first-level researchers died, and many researchers were injured.
At this point, Subject 001 disappeared forever, precious experimental data was destroyed, and the research institute suffered heavy damage!
Fortunately, the genes of No. 001 extracted earlier were divided into three parts and sealed by the far-sighted dean.
Two of them were destroyed together, and the remaining one was handed over to the Insect King by the old director.
The research institute that obtained the genes from the Insect King had no choice but to try to replicate No. 001 again.
The result was the same as before, the clones would die after a full moon, and no reason could be found.
When the clone was alive, no unknown substances could be extracted from the gene, blood and other samples taken, and the experiment came to a standstill.
With the last genetic sample being squandered, the research institute completely returned to its previous state. Fortunately, in the past few decades, they have created thousands of experimental subjects using unknown substances, otherwise they would have no explanation to the Insect King.
As if things were not bad enough, after ten years of fear and trembling, the Insect King thought that he had forgotten all about it, but the research institute was invaded again, the experimental supplies were taken away, and No. 061 and No. 062 disappeared. This directly aroused the dissatisfaction in the Insect King's heart.
This matter has caused too much trouble, and the research institute is the institution that the Insect Emperor attaches the most importance to. What happens inside cannot be concealed from the Insect Emperor. They can only take responsibility and apologize for their crimes and strive for a chance of probation.
With the confidence that nothing could get worse, Director Conrad Green broke the suffocating atmosphere, bowing his head and saying solemnly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know we have disappointed you. Please give me one more chance. I have discovered a possible replacement for 001."
"What did you say?"
Insect King Hoover Walker narrowed his eyes, slowly tapping his fingers on the wooden table. The tapping seemed to echo in the large, silent study, lingering in his ears, making Conrad's heart suddenly tighten. After a long pause, he reluctantly replied, "Yes, please give us a little more time."
"Conrad, you must be responsible for what you said." Seeing Conrad's increasingly worse expression, Hoover Walker lost interest. He leaned back and said with lowered eyes, "Since you are so confident, I will show mercy and give you another year. If there is still no progress after a year, you are playing tricks on me again!"
"I dare not." Conrad knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly. The joy of reprieve and the fear of the Insect King were intertwined, and Conrad's facial expression was distorted.
Hoover Walker frowned slightly, waved his hand to let the group of annoying insects go away, and sat in the study for a long time before getting up and returning to his bedroom in the palace surrounded by many insect servants.
After the insect servant left, Hoover Walker did not rest. He stood up and walked behind the gorgeous sky-blue curtain. Without him making any movement, a rumbling sound was heard and a door suddenly opened in the wall.
It was pitch black inside the door. Hoover Walker walked in and the door closed as if it had never been there.
Walking down a long corridor, Hoover Walker arrived at a room filled with safes. He opened one at random, and a chill emanated from the inside. A syringe filled with a pale green liquid with flecks of gold lay quietly within the safe.
Hoover Walker took out the injection gun and put it against his arm, but did not press it.
After an unknown amount of time, his hands began to tremble, the arc of his chest became larger, and the sharp needle tip almost pierced into the flesh several times.
Suddenly, the star brain on his wrist shook, and Hoover Walker seemed to be awakened. He threw the injection gun to the ground, and the light blue and gold liquid flowed all over the ground.
Hoover Walker lowered his eyes and watched the broken syringe roll into the corner. After a moment, he turned around and left without hesitation.
It’s not the right time yet, it’s not safe yet, so you can’t be impatient.
After leaving the secret room, Hoover Walker opened the Star Brain, looked at the information on it, and smiled with a determined look.
Nanqi Ed, the Harberson Psychological Institute is actually targeting him.
It was just right that he took this opportunity to see which of his good subordinates had a connection with the Harberson Psychological Institute, the culprit of the Imperial Research Institute accident ten years ago.
As long as Nanqi Aide was captured, he could intercept him and then reveal the news to his good subordinate, General Bai Smellide, the empire's god of war.
Whether for the sake of imperial law or for the sake of face, Bai has to confront Harberson, and he can just sit back and watch the fight.
Ever since Bai married Nan Qi, he hasn't had a single day of peace in the past few days. It seems that he can finally have a good sleep today.
After sending a message to Governor Jody Collet, Hoover Walker rang the bedside bell, grabbed a good-looking insect servant when he came to him, and pinned him to the bed.
He suddenly felt like eating some light porridge and some side dishes, as he was a little fed up with the things in the harem.
Thinking of this, Hoover Walker bared his ugly fangs at the insect servant who was shivering on the bed.
＊
The red sun rises, the morning light is bright, and Nan Qi opens his eyes in the warm embrace.
Nan Qi leaned against Bai's chest, whose bathrobe he had rubbed open, and listened to Bai's strong heartbeat, and grinned.
It is so wonderful to sleep with the bugs you love until you wake up naturally. If there were not so many things waiting for them, he would have to pull Bai Laibei into bed and take a nap.
Shaking his head regretfully, Nan Qi carefully got up from the bed, but still startled Bai.
Bai was in a daze, his eyes were not even open, but he put his arms around Nan Qi's waist accurately. Before Nan Qi could react, he brought Nan Qi back to his side and they lay face to face, hugging each other.
Faced with such a passionate Bai, Nan Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Bai who was about to fall asleep again for a while. He hugged Bai with evil intentions, turned Bai over with a little force, made him face away from him, and bit Bai's strong and beautiful shoulder.
Bai: “!!!!” He woke up instantly, his eyes wide open with shock.
Nan Qi smiled roguely, and before Bai could react, he put his hand on the place where he had bitten him and gently brushed it.
Through the cloth, it felt like being tickled, the sensation both clear and dull, itchy and slightly painful. Bai wanted to laugh and hummed in unbearable pain, followed by the warmth of skin against skin.
Nan Qi's hands were warm and strong, and the calluses on his palms seemed to have given Bai a perfect massage, causing Bai to move his legs involuntarily.
In an instant, Bai froze, feeling a strong presence different from the touch of his own leg skin. Nan Qi whispered in his ear in a bewitching tone:
"Dear, don't be lazy, let's do bad things together secretly."
Nan Qi's words seemed to have magic, and Bai couldn't help but follow Nan Qi's instructions.
Nan Qi is a good teacher, and Bai is also a hardworking, motivated and good student with strong learning ability.
But in just a few moments, they had already cooperated well and were getting into the groove.
Half an hour later, the two insects simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Nan Qi looked at Bai, whose forehead and eyebrows were covered with sweat. He stood up slightly and touched the tip of his nose with Bai's, and whispered to Bai, "How do you feel?"
He rolled his eyes, said nothing, and nodded gently. All his experience was given to him by Nan Qi, and the little knowledge he had was learned in health and hygiene classes. Only today did he realize that there were many ways to be happy.
Suddenly, Bai remembered the things Duke had given him that he had hidden.
Before, he thought those things would only bring him pain. Nan Qi was so upright that he would never use those things to torture himself. Letting Nan Qi see those things would be an insult to Nan Qi.
Today, Nan Qi opened the door to a new world for him. Bai found that he didn't seem to reject it so much. So should he ask Nan Qi about it?
If he took out those things, would Nan Qi think he was... If he continued to hide them...
Why do I not want to hide it anymore?
"in vain."
"What?" Bai came back to his senses and met Nan Qi's worried eyes. He immediately felt embarrassed that he was so lost in thought.
"I'm fine." Bai collected his thoughts and changed the subject. "Let's get up and pack. I'll go to the palace to see the Insect Emperor. I need to report to him on last quarter's work summary."
Nan Qi did not expose Bai's little thoughts. He nodded with a smile and pulled Bai up to walk towards the bathroom.
Bai froze as soon as he took a step. The sticky feeling between his buttocks reminded him of what had just happened.
Although he did not reject and even liked the various experiences that Nan Qi brought him, after each experience, the sweetness mixed with shyness would always come flooding back, leaving him a little at a loss, and he could only pretend to be calm so that Nan Qi would not notice.
Just when he was about to pretend that nothing had happened, Bai felt his vision flash and he found himself being held horizontally in Nan Qi's arms.
"Nan Qi, you, I can do it myself."
Nan Qi shook his head, his eyes falling on Bai's legs. The smile on his face deepened, and he raised his eyebrows shamelessly, yelling: "It's my fault. I will take you to wash up."
Bai was taken into the bathroom by Nan Qi, feeling both amused and helpless, and they took a bath together. Nan Qi also reviewed the knowledge he had just learned, and then he went downstairs to have breakfast with Bai feeling refreshed.
He wants to eat a good meal today, and then he will go for a stroll in the Insect King's private warehouse. Maybe he can find an opportunity to return to the research institute, and maybe he will have new discoveries.
He has to think about how to pass this level.
