Gao Zhengyang and the golden shield star armor fought for so long because they wanted to find out where Lu Xiqi's true core was.
What was certain was that Lu Xiqi's consciousness hadn't truly merged with the biochemical core. At least not just now.
The reason was simple. If the biochemical core was Lu Xiqi, then he wouldn't remember what happened after it was destroyed. Gao Zhengyang completely destroyed the biochemical core's structure. Although he couldn't really kill the biochemical core, he destroyed its basic senses and other abilities.
The biochemical core wouldn't die, but it couldn't retain its memories in that state.
From then on, Gao Zhengyang was sure that Lu Xiqi's consciousness was independent. At the very least, he could maintain his independence for now. He was controlling the biochemical core through spiritual resonance.
The range of spiritual resonance wouldn't be very large. Moreover, Lu Xiqi's main body was in the lab just now. Gao Zhengyang was thinking about where the other party would put his main body's consciousness.
The best location was undoubtedly the photon computer because it had the power to control the base. The photon computer stored countless data and had powerful computing abilities. It was very suitable as a carrier.
Gao Zhengyang felt that this was too obvious. Lu Xiqi wouldn't be that stupid, right? Thus, he struggled for a while to test the golden shield star armor's strength and to confirm the location of Lu Xiqi's consciousness.
After struggling for so long, Gao Zhengyang finally confirmed that Lu Xiqi was that stupid.
Thus, Lu Xiqi didn't dare to go to the lab and mess around. Every time he flew in that direction, mm, he would feel like he was about to collapse. Thus, Lu Xiqi had to drag Gao Zhengyang to the secret vault.
Lu Xiqi even pretended to talk about conditions and even lowered his head to beg Gao Zhengyang. This made him even more exposed.
Gao Zhengyang held the photon computer and spun it on his fingertips. He said to Lu Xiqi, "Aren't you very brave? Why don't you rush over and slap me to death?"
The golden shield star armor was silent.
Gao Zhengyang said, "Don't just stand there. Go get the things in the secret vault. I'll wait for you here."
The golden shield star armor hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving. Lu Xiqi knew very well that the photon processor was in Gao Zhengyang's hands. Even with the Golden Shield and Star Armor, he wouldn't be able to snatch it back.
Lu Xiqi wisely gave up on the confrontation and followed Gao Zhengyang's words first before looking for an opportunity to break the stalemate.
After the Golden Shield Star Armor left, Gao Zhengyang put down the other sword and started to dismantle the outer shell of the optical supercomputer.
The outer shell of the A.I. was also made of a special metal. It looked as smooth and glossy as glass, but it could withstand high-intensity impacts. Of course, under the violent dismantling of the Star Armor, any outer shell was useless.
The internal structure of the optical computer was rather complicated. Gao Zhengyang relied on his experience to find a green card in the expansion slot. This card was the same as a standard hard disk. However, the subtle mental fluctuations on it indicated that it wasn't a hard drive.
Gao Zhengyang used a very delicate movement to pull the card out of the expansion slot.
"Lucic, we meet again?" Gao Zhengyang used his mental power to send a message to the card, perfectly conveying his happy mood.
The mental power on the card fluctuated slightly, but without a medium, the reaction was too weak. Gao Zhengyang couldn't tell what it was trying to say.
It wasn't important. Gao Zhengyang said, "Don't worry, we'll talk when the Star Armor comes back."
The card quieted down. If it weren't for the strange color, it would look no different from a hard disk.
A few minutes later, the Golden Shield Star Armor came back with a bunch of items in its shield.
The main items were Astral Crystals, all level-eight and of good quality. There were thirty of them. That was a lot of money. A conservative estimate would be a few hundred million.
Astral Crystals were like this. Level-One was the cheapest. A counterfeit one would only cost a few thousand. The price of level-two would double. Astral Crystals above level-five were very expensive.
Astral Crystals could be manufactured artificially, but it required a Star Master to continuously gather his mental power. The cost was very high. Generally speaking, there would be such crystallized star power ores in the Star Domain.
Naturally occurring star power crystal ores rarely had high-level crystals. The higher the level of the crystals, the rarer they were. Therefore, high-level crystals were very expensive.
But high-level crystals were also useful. The Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor Gao Zhengyang rode on had already used up 30% of its level-five crystals after the fierce battle.
If it were level-eight crystals, it would only use up 3% at most. That was a huge difference. Of course, the difference in price was even greater.
High-level crystals were usually used for Star Masters' cultivation. After all, the astral power was more concentrated and pure. Only a few rich Star Masters would use high-level crystals on their Star Armors.
High-level crystals were small, valuable, and practical. Rich Star Masters liked to hoard some.
Lu Ming didn't know how much money he had to deduct to get the high-level crystals. This time, it was all Gao Zhengyang's doing.
Other than that, there were some special materials for star armor modification. The most precious was the 500 grams of Astral Patterned Gold.
"I worked hard to accumulate the Astral Patterned Gold," the Golden Shield Star Armor said pitifully.
He needed better materials to fuse the biochemical core with the Star Armor. In order to create a powerful Star Armor, Lu Xiqi had used all his means to get the Astral Patterned Gold.
"Do you want me to thank you?" Gao Zhengyang asked.
Lucic was speechless. What else could he say at this point? It was just that after 20 years of painstaking planning, it all went to an outsider. This made Lu Xiqi feel very frustrated.
Gao Zhengyang checked everything and put it on the table. He said to the Golden Shield Star Armor, "I have a few questions. You must answer them honestly."
The Golden Shield Star Armor said, "I can tell you everything as long as you let me go."
Gao Zhengyang asked, "I'm curious. How do you maintain your existence and insert this biochip into the Star Armor?"
"Yes." Lu Xiqi answered quickly because he couldn't hide the details.
Gao Zhengyang was even more curious. "Why don't you fuse with the biochemical core? That way, you won't die."
"The biochemical core doesn't have a consciousness, but it will devour all kinds of genes. This kind of greedy devouring instinct will make people lose all rationality. "
Lu Xiqi said, "The best way is to separate the consciousness from the biochemical core and only use spiritual power to control the biochemical core. This is both safe and efficient. "
Lu Xiqi said, "I know you won't let me go. But I can fuse with your Star Armor and make your Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor incomparably powerful. Even if I can't compare to a Gold Divine General, I can at least be invincible in the Silver Rank! "
"Invincible in the Silver Rank?"
Gao Zhengyang laughed. "I can sweep the Silver Rank now. I don't need you."
Lu Xiqi said helplessly, "The people you met were all low-level Silver Star Masters. You'll know when you get to the big places. A true high-level Silver Star Master is very powerful. They can condense star power and transform it into all kinds of strange energy. It's comparable to magic! "
Lu Xiqi's combat ability wasn't good, but as a researcher, he still did a lot of research in this area. He had also seen the power of a high-level Silver Star Master. They were really like gods, making people involuntarily worship them.
It was just that such high-level Star Masters were too rare, and they wouldn't appear in a remote Star Region like Orion Star Region.
Gao Zhengyang's combat ability was extremely exquisite. Among the Star Masters Lu Xiqi had seen, no one could compare to him. But compared to that powerful Silver Star Master, his combat ability was too lacking.
"I'm not at ease with you possessing my Star Armor …"
Although Gao Zhengyang wasn't afraid, he didn't need to take the risk. He couldn't look at the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor all day. Who knew what Lu Xiqi could do.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't interested in power that he couldn't completely control.
Lu Xiqi tried to persuade him. "I'm separate from the biochemical core. I can let the biochemical core fuse with your Star Armor. After the biochemical transformation is completed, you can put my chip there. "
"It's still troublesome."
Gao Zhengyang knew that Lu Xiqi was hiding a lot of core secrets. Moreover, the other party wasn't really stupid. He definitely wouldn't tell these secrets to him.
There wasn't much point in trying to get more information. Gao Zhengyang said directly, "I won't lie to you anymore. You can go in peace. I'll also kill the biochemical core to accompany you. "
Lu Xiqi was shocked. He still wanted to negotiate. The Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor squeezed hard with its palms. The green chip turned into a ball of flames and completely vaporized.
The main thing was that the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor was strong and fast. It could heat up the air with its palms. After the biochemical chip was crushed, it naturally burned and vaporized in the high temperature.
The Golden Shield Star Armor that was about to pounce lost control of Lu Xiqi's consciousness. It fell to the ground and slid far away.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the Golden Shield Star Armor lying on the ground and scratched his head. This thing was lying there for him to cut. He was a bit reluctant to part with his sword.
However, without breaking the outer layer of the Star Armor, there was no effective way to hurt the biochemical core inside. Some very violent and forceful methods required special environments and equipment.
Moreover, there was another problem. Even if he cut the Star Armor, he wouldn't be able to kill the biochemical core. Gao Zhengyang had already tried this just now.
However, he couldn't just leave it alone. Who knew what kind of tricks it would come up with!
The best way was to put the Golden Shield Star Armor into the quantum space. In the strange quantum space, there was no need to worry about the biochemical core.
As for the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor, he could only leave it there for now.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang couldn't bear to part with it. He had spent a lot of effort and resources on this Star Armor. Moreover, he was getting more and more comfortable with the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor. He wanted to use it as his main Star Armor in the future.
It would be too much of a loss to exchange it for a Golden Shield Star Armor. Although the Golden Shield Star Armor had been biochemically modified, it still looked thick and ugly. It was too different from the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor.
No, the two couldn't be compared in terms of appearance. That would be an insult to the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor.
Gao Zhengyang opened the quantum space helplessly and wanted to put the Golden Shield Star Armor inside. Unexpectedly, as soon as the quantum space was opened, a lump of meat the size of a basketball jumped out of the Golden Shield Star Armor.
This lump of golden meat shot toward the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor like an arrow. What greeted it was a cold and eerie sword light.
This lump of meat was instantly cut into powder and drifted around like mist. But in the laboratory, there was nothing. The biochemical core couldn't find anything to parasitize. It could only condense into a lump of meat again and fall to the ground, motionless.
Gao Zhengyang was also a bit troubled. He couldn't kill it and couldn't put it into the quantum space. What should he do?
If the stalemate continued, the biochemical core would find an opportunity to slip away sooner or later. It didn't leave now because the biochemical core didn't have intelligence. It only had instincts.
Gao Zhengyang decided to wait a bit longer. The biochemical core would definitely be unable to resist its instincts and return to the Golden Shield Star Armor. He had prepared the quantum space in advance so that the biochemical core wouldn't have any chance to react and retreat.
The biochemical core seemed to be dumbfounded. It stayed there without moving. Gao Zhengyang waited for a while and felt that it was too stupid. He picked up a level-eight Astral Power Crystal on the table and threw it at the biochemical core.
The biochemical core had an unusual desire for all kinds of energy. The level-eight Astral Power Crystal contained such pure and powerful Astral Power. It was a temptation that the biochemical core couldn't resist.
The golden meat suddenly jumped and opened a gap in the air, swallowing the level-eight Astral Power Crystal. The level-eight Astral Power Crystal instantly disintegrated into thick Astral Power, covering the biochemical core in a transparent blue light.
Such a sudden release of Astral Power was too concentrated for the biochemical core. The biochemical core trembled in the air.
Gao Zhengyang took the opportunity to open up the quantum space. Just as he was about to put the biochemical core in, a strange Astral Power fluctuation was released from the quantum space.
The biochemical core was stimulated by the Astral Power fluctuation and suddenly shrunk. The Ravenous Wolf Star God in Gao Zhengyang's sea of consciousness suddenly shone with divine light and resonated strongly with the biochemical core.
"Damn, what's going on!"
Of course, Gao Zhengyang could control the mutation of the Ravenous Wolf Star God, but the activation of the Ravenous Wolf Star God's nomological laws was a good opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of the Ravenous Wolf Star Power.
As for the biochemical core, the most he could do was to give up the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor.
Although the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor was good, it was mass-produced. As long as he had the money, he would be able to make those modifications. This time, he had gained a lot. At worst, he could spend money to buy another Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor.
Gao Zhengyang quickly made an assessment on the spiritual level and felt that this could be done. The risk was not high, and the loss would not be too great.
The Ravenous Wolf Star God released intense star energy fluctuations and the biochemical core resonated with that star energy. The Ravenous Wolf Star God seemed to have come to life as he opened his mouth wide and let out a soundless roar.
The Ravenous Wolf Star God's attitude made it seem as if he wanted to devour the universe, all living beings, and everything else. He was exceptionally greedy, wild, and vicious.
Gao Zhengyang was very familiar with the Ravenous Wolf Star God's personality, because he had seen the projection of the Ravenous Wolf Star God before. He also had a rather deep understanding of the Ravenous Wolf Star God's inner core.
When he was in the Star Demon Realm, he had even mastered the Greedy Wolf Fist.
It was just that in the Star Power Universe, Gao Zhengyang could not grasp the core and charm of the Ravenous Wolf Star God. He could only barely imitate the image of the Ravenous Wolf Star God.
At this moment, the Ravenous Wolf Star God's greedy, wild, and vicious nature was finally stimulated by the biochemical core.
Gao Zhengyang felt that the biochemical core had nothing to do with the Ravenous Wolf Star God. It just so happened that the two were essentially the same. Through the activation of the Star Power in the quantum space, the two completed the resonance.
As one of the strongest Star Gods in the universe, the Ravenous Wolf Star God was naturally not something a small biochemical core could compare to. After the two established a resonance, the biochemical core was naturally controlled by the Ravenous Wolf Star God.
Through the changes in the Ravenous Wolf Star God, Gao Zhengyang could already faintly sense the state of the biochemical core. It was a stable and docile state.
Yes, it was like a tamed pet dog. It even gave people a sense of endearment.
With a visualized Star God controlling the biochemical core, if it were any other Star Master, they would definitely be suspicious, afraid, hesitant, and retreat.
But Gao Zhengyang was different. He was very clear that the Star Gods were the strongest existences in the universe. They should be able to control everything. The core of a mere biochemical core was still star power, which gave it vitality and the ability to devour everything.
Therefore, everything was reasonable and in line with the Great Dao.
Gao Zhengyang's spirit did not sense any danger, but he was full of expectations for this change. Even the powerful intuition of a thirteenth rank Divine Emperor could be deceived. Gao Zhengyang could not say anything even if he lost.
The most important essence of the Ravenous Wolf Star God was devouring, which was why he was called Ravenous Wolf. After Gao Zhengyang comprehended the mysteries of the Ravenous Wolf Star Power, the speed at which he absorbed star power increased by many times.
The Ravenous Wolf Star God could absorb endless star power. In an extremely short period of time, Gao Zhengyang felt that his whole body was overflowing with star power, and his whole body was about to explode from the star power.
Gao Zhengyang hurriedly controlled the Ravenous Wolf Star God and transferred the absorbed star power to the star armor, to the biochemical core that resonated.
Following the Ravenous Wolf Star God's guidance, Gao Zhengyang controlled the Radiant Flying Scales Star Armor and pointed a finger at the golden meatball.
The golden meatball turned into a golden mist and slowly permeated the surface of the star armor, following the star power circuit to the drive furnace.
The Milky Way III drive furnace that Gao Zhengyang had extorted from Li Yunyang was quickly eroded by the golden meatball, completely losing its original orderly appearance.
Gao Zhengyang also looked at the golden meatball warily. If this guy jumped on him, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, through the Ravenous Wolf Star God in his sea of consciousness, Gao Zhengyang could feel the state of the biochemical core and even guide it to a certain extent. Yes, just like how he would treat a docile pet dog.
After the biochemical core occupied the Milky Way III drive furnace, it returned to its round state. The golden liquid continuously spread to every part of the Radiant Flying Scales Star Armor through the star power circuit.
But compared to the previous modification of the Golden Shield Star Armor, the biochemical core this time was very slow. Gao Zhengyang tried to stop the biochemical modification, and the biochemical core immediately responded and was very obedient.
Gao Zhengyang tried a few times, and the biochemical core was indeed completely under his control, which made him feel much more relaxed.
Not long after the biochemical core operated, it released a strong hunger message to Gao Zhengyang. The biochemical core was also absorbing star power, and a lot of it, but it was obviously not enough to modify the star armor.
The level eight star power crystals on the table all became food for the biochemical core. After swallowing twenty level eight star power crystals in a row, the biochemical core finally came down.
Although these things were free, Gao Zhengyang still felt a little heartache. With so many things thrown in, if the biochemical core made a few mistakes, it would be a huge loss for him!
Outside Base 03, the 17th Legion and a Star Master that had just landed were advancing into the depths of the base.
A Star Master riding a Holy Knight said through the communication channel, "Destroy all experimental equipment and kill all outsiders on the spot. Everyone, remember, the base will be completely destroyed in an hour. You must evacuate the base within an hour … "
