"Where will we go in the future?"
"If we can become a vassal of this civilization, even if they won't help us improve, we can at least be protected …"
"Did they reply?"
"Not yet."
The Mercury people were quite pessimistic. They knew that interstellar navigation technology was something they had to achieve. If they couldn't achieve this, they would be trapped on their mother planet forever.
If they couldn't reach the stars, they would be natives forever.
Bai Ge was the first civilization they came into contact with. Seeing that they were about to leave, they naturally didn't want to let go.
They had already obtained the right to survive. Since that was the case, they might as well pay more. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to accept the fact that they had lost five satellites and nothing else during the entire process.
At this time, the spaceship hanging in the atmosphere finally replied.
"You can become a vassal state. I will stay on this planet and give you some small tests. For every test you pass, you can learn a piece of knowledge from me." This was Ling Dang's reply. He notified all the cities in the civilization.
"That's great!"
Hearing this, the Mercury people were excited. They got it so easily?
They thought that they wouldn't get the technology even if they became a vassal state. They even planned to spend hundreds of years to please the other party and find a way to learn something.
They didn't expect the other party to directly say that they could learn the knowledge, just that there was a test.
"What test?" the Mercury people asked.
Just as he finished asking, he saw an inconspicuous rock fall from the sky, smashing directly onto a flat piece of land.
This was a stone that rushed out of the spaceship. After throwing this stone, the spaceship accelerated and left. The Mercury people didn't understand.
However, soon, this stone condensed into a human shape. It was Ling Dang.
Of course, the Mercury people didn't know that this was Ling Dang's appearance. They thought that he was deliberately imitating their appearance.
Terrifying and strange technology. This civilization is very good at modifying natural materials. They look ordinary, from a small stone to a large planet, but they are all their weapons, the Mercury people thought.
Ling Dang said, "I am the envoy of the Lanbai Nation. From now on, I will be staying here."
As he said that, the surrounding soil and rocks and all kinds of natural materials moved. Soon, a tall black tower stood on the land.
Afterward, thousands of local animals were captured from every corner and entered into the Black Tower. It was unknown what they were going to do.
"I will help these species evolve. Millions of years ago, your ancestors won the competition with their ancestors, but now, you will have to face them who are even stronger, and remember the fear of being eaten by them," Ling Dang said.
"Ah!"
Mercury was shocked. They didn't expect it to be such a test.
As a planet with life, there had been many species since ancient times. But now, most of them had gone extinct.
Especially after civilization had reached its current level of prosperity, such extinctions had become even more frequent. A large number of species had disappeared during the era of civilization.
What they didn't know was that Bai Ge had another reward after coming here. The pure black stone tablet had automatically recorded the genes of all the species in this place since ancient times.
Wherever the pure black stone tablet was, it would have the ecological genetic map.
Just like Earth, this planet used to have many species that dominated an era. All kinds of terrifying creatures used to run amok on this planet.
If it weren't for bad luck, if it weren't for the impact of asteroids, the strong eruption of sunspots, gamma rays, active crustal movements, and other global natural disasters, many of these terrible creatures could have given birth to wisdom and created a civilization.
The race that ruled this planet might not be the Mercury people that evolved from mercury flukes.
At this moment, Ling Dang wanted to let the Mercury people face the native prehistoric creatures again and have a revival competition.
Of course, the Mercury people, who already had a technological civilization, had a huge advantage. But with Ling Dang's macro control, it was not so easy.
Ling Dang could magically modify those terrible creatures. She had done this experiment on Earth.
Even DongXiang Youyi, who was just the owner of a pet store, had successfully magically modified a giant, let alone Ling Dang, who had mastered a certain pattern of modification.
As long as she was willing to sacrifice materials, she could create creatures that combined the advantages of many species.
In the past, there weren't so many materials for Ling Dang to create, and with only the genetic map of Earth, she couldn't create powerful creatures. So Bai Ge had never supported this kind of thing.
But now, it was different. The pure black stone tablet had all the genes of two and a half planets. Half of them were celestial kingdoms. After all, celestial kingdoms had the same environment as Earth, so although there were differences in species, they were mostly the same. It could only be considered half a planet.
With more genes, Ling Dang of course wanted to do more experiments and summarize more data.
Now, the entire planet of Mercury was a testing ground. By creating creatures that once had advantages on this planet, coupled with Ling Dang's customization, a group of powerful and competitive species would soon be born.
Although they might still be KO-ed by Bai Ge, it would be enough to bring pressure to the Mercury people.
For example, four hundred million years ago on this planet, there was a seemingly inconspicuous bipedal animal called the Internal Combustion Beast. It dominated the planet for more than three hundred million years.
It was symmetrical on both sides and was only 1.2 meters tall. It was divided into three parts: a head, a torso, and a tail. However, these three parts each had a pair. It was a creature that had two sets of spinal motion systems.
Its nerve and sensory organs were abnormally powerful under the bipedal system. Also, it had a functional organ that was impossible for creatures on Earth to have — the Internal Combustion Organ.
This creature secreted chemicals on its own to ignite large amounts of methane stored in its body, causing it to generate a large amount of energy. This internal combustion gave them infinite strength and allowed them to run as if they were flying.
It could even be ejected from its porous organs like a rocket, allowing it to fly, sprint, and attack.
The feces and body fluids of this creature had a special corrosive effect on plants and animals. While digesting food, it could also extract large amounts of methane. Then, the feces would kill the plants, causing a large amount of methane in the environment.
It could be said that this creature had contributed greatly to the high methane content on this planet.
However, at the same time, they also went extinct. Because the methane content was too high, it finally caused other creatures to be unable to keep up with their ability to modify the environment, causing countless creatures to go extinct. In the end, they also went extinct because of the loss of their food source.
Of course, it was difficult for a species to go extinct completely. There were always a small number of them that survived and spread throughout the world again.
Nowadays, there was a type of 'fire bug' that lit fires everywhere. It was a descendant of the Internal Combustion Beast. Its reproductive ability was greatly enhanced, and because of its small size, it required less food and didn't cause as much damage to the environment.
Even so, the Mercury people still classified it as a pest because 80% of the fires were caused by this type of bug.
Every city had to carry out a large number of pest control operations every year to prevent them from emitting accelerants in the city and causing the methane in the atmosphere to burn.
Today, among the biological materials that Ling Dang caught, there were many of these fire bugs. As descendants, the success rate of genetic coverage was very high.
"These creatures are quite interesting. If they didn't destroy the atmosphere wantonly and continued to develop and give birth to a civilization, it would be very easy for them to enter the industrial era. After all, it is very convenient to smelt minerals," Bai Ge said in the spaceship that was far away.
However, Ling Dang said, "No, if they continue to dominate, even if they are given a few hundred million years, it will be difficult for them to give birth to a civilization. You should know that it only took the Mercury people a few million years to give birth to a civilization. The Internal Combustion Beast dominated for a few hundred million years but did not give birth to a civilization. The main reason is that they are too strong. "
"Weakness is the accelerant of the fire of civilization. Without a natural enemy, there is no cradle for a civilization because it is so strong that it does not need a civilization."
As he spoke, Bai Ge used the pure black stone tablet to create hundreds of Internal Combustion Beasts.
Except for one of the fire bugs that he caught, all of them were successfully transformed into these prehistoric creatures.
They were all in specially made oxygen free chambers because if these creatures stayed in an oxygen-rich environment, they would become 'heaty' and even explode.
As long as they were not provided with combustion-supporting substances, they could control how much combustion-supporting chemicals they secreted.
"Next, I will let them inherit the reproductive ability of their descendants … They will be in heat for life and will ovulate 600,000 eggs at once. However, because their body size will not change, their appetite will greatly increase …"
Ling Dang designed, and soon, Bai Ge killed one Internal Combustion Beast after another. It was not until the 97th one that he finally succeeded.
"Their descendants are fire bugs. In order to ensure their survival, they have evolved to have a hive effect. They have a collective mind of their own. With this kind of mind, they will not fear death for the sake of their race … This is something that Internal Combustion Beasts do not have. It can be transplanted."
Bai Ge continued to modify. This kind of gene was originally evolved from their descendants, so the success rate was higher. After more than 300 Internal Combustion Beasts died, Internal Combustion Beasts with hive instincts were born.
For the pure black stone tablet, as long as it was successful once, it would be recorded and could be directly covered in the future.
"Also, add an exoskeleton. This is a gene developed by a land creature on this planet 600 million years ago. The thick exoskeleton can resist the attacks of almost all species, so creatures with this kind of defense have been multiplied until now. They have become pets of the Mercury people. Although Internal Combustion Beasts have no natural enemies, they don't eat these creatures as food because they can't break through their defenses at all … Whether it is destroying hard metal products, resisting the Mercury people's hot weapons, or even blocking external combustion-supporting substances to prevent self-destruction, etc. This is a necessary evolution. "
Bai Ge modified again and again. Unfortunately, because it was a completely mutated gene, he failed more than 500 times in a row. The materials were almost used up, but he still didn't succeed.
Fortunately, Ling Dang also captured a large number of fire bugs on the planet and sent them to the spaceship through the black tower embassy's transition device.
It was most efficient to use insects with strong reproductive abilities as materials.
A large number of individuals could be produced at any time. It was inexhaustible. He could directly use a large number of modifications to create a successful example.
It wasn't until the spaceship jumped to the next star system that Bai Ge finally succeeded in creating an Internal Combustion Beast with an exoskeleton biological weapon. He failed more than 40,000 times in total.
The evolved Internal Combustion Beast looked ferocious. It had two heads, two bodies, two tails, and eight limbs, all wrapped in thick exoskeleton.
It was trapped in an oxygen free cabin and was savagely devouring other Internal Combustion Beasts.
"Don't move!" Bai Ge ordered.
The new Internal Combustion Beast didn't understand at first, but after all, it had a good impression of Bai Ge. After several times of stopping it from devouring its own kind, it understood and obediently stopped moving.
"Okay, this new Internal Combustion Beast has a hive mind, amazing reproductive ability, and very strong individuals. This is enough," Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge said, "Don't they need intelligence? We already have a way to add human-level brain genes. "
"They have good intelligence, probably as smart as pigs on Earth. This is already very good. If you want them to be as smart as humans, they will easily be led astray by the Mercury people. They will then learn technology and gradually abandon their physical advantages. If we do this, we might as well just use cyborgs … "Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge agreed. What he and Ling Dang wanted to make was a super biological weapon. If the intelligence advantage was higher than the physical advantage, the physical instincts would be suppressed.
"If you want to increase intelligence, you have to have a stronger physical advantage …"
Bai Ge suddenly said, "Ling Dang, what are the chances of making it have the ability to replicate the genes of other creatures?"
