Chapter 954: Chapter 683: Not an Inferior Version_2
The solutions he mentioned might have been useful in the past, but the human race in this world has been facing this problem for over a hundred years now.
There’s no hope for the new generation; their magical talent is influenced by their bodies. When their souls are weak, they too are affected by the physique, resulting in their inability to use magic even if their souls are separated from their bodies.
People in this world now have to look for other ways.
"Can’t let good people be stifled to death, can we? Find them a new direction, and let them develop on their own. Any change isn’t going to be resolved quickly, and besides, no matter how bad things get, there’s still technology, right?"
Garel nodded; he had also come for the World Tree seed, so he thought he might as well help out a bit.
"What about those extraterrestrial beings?" Ahn Ke switched the topic.
"I brought back some samples."
"Then let’s start researching. Two steamed buns are enough for me." Ahn Ke said impatiently, as she hadn’t yet come into contact with an extraterrestrial being. Now that Zheng Yichen had captured some, it was only right to thoroughly research them.
As for the quadruped appearance of the extraterrestrial beings, that was not important. It’s just that while conducting her research, Ahn Ke couldn’t help but glance at Zheng Yichen’s legs.
"I’m not going to grow four legs," Zheng Yichen said with a slight twitch of his mouth, assuring her that, although he had once been dismembered, he had not grown extra arms—his own just became fully balanced.
There was no difference in his dominant hand.
As to whether these extraterrestrial beings had given him any special abilities, Zheng Yichen had not sensed anything up to this point. When he confronted these beings, he did discover that they had fast reactions and strong Strength. However, they were far inferior to him, which was a clear disparity in absolute power.
"Alright." Ahn Ke started dissecting the corpses of the extraterrestrials Zheng Yichen had brought back. The tools in her hands were brought from the world of magic and were extremely sharp; not much blood flowed from the incisions she made.
Even in the world of magic, a set of tools like this would be very expensive.
Upon returning to Hazy City, they would become a rare commodity, priceless and unobtainable.
"These extraterrestrials have an extremely efficient nervous system... hmm? They also have regenerative effects... let me run some other tests. It might take some time; you can go back and rest if you’d like."
"It’s fine, I’m curious about their condition as well." Zheng Yichen wasn’t tired and preferred staying to see what exactly was the situation with these extraterrestrial beings.
Ahn Ke nodded and continued with her research.
In a setting with ample and comprehensive equipment, she quickly made considerable progress in studying these beings, which were super organisms compared to the human race.
Their bodily data vastly outperformed humans in all aspects; they could easily live for over four hundred years. Their nerves could regenerate after damage, preventing their brains from deteriorating with age.
The tube-like structures on their heads contained abundant nerves, allowing them to perceive changes in the environment, gases, and sounds with acute sensitivity and also aided in dissipating heat.
Their exceptional nervous system allowed for signal transmission far faster than humans, with nearly zero delay. Their digestion was extremely efficient, and their advanced nervous system supported the simultaneous operation of multiple arms.
Those were the tentacle-like limbs on their arms.
Those limbs, slender in comparison to their arms, could exert at least one-tenth the Strength of the arms when bursting with power.
Several slender arms, when combined, allowed these extraterrestrial beings to exert even greater monstrous strength.
Four legs, needless to say, made them incredibly stable on the ground.
"Overall, their most powerful attribute is their nervous system. If your blood-sucking ability can acquire their strengths, it should be related to their nervous system... But this doesn’t have much of an impact on you, right?"
Ahn Ke sized up Zheng Yichen. As his power had enhanced, Zheng Yichen’s reaction speed was already beyond human. While others dodge bullets by anticipation, he... he didn’t need to dodge at all, as bullets couldn’t penetrate his body. If necessary, he could just reach out and catch them.
He could run as fast as a bullet.
He could hold his breath with ease for over half an hour, with high sensitivity and strong endurance in his body... Well, she had experienced this firsthand. It might be the miraculous characteristics of the human body or perhaps the increased control over one’s body after becoming stronger, eliminating the issues that should arise when body senses are amplified.
But these were all developments that accompanied Zheng Yichen’s personal growth, not something inherently present in his fellow humans.
The nervous systems of these extraterrestrial beings were different; it was a characteristic of their entire species.
A species advantage is different from an individual advantage. Although Zheng Yichen’s ultra-fast reaction speed could be attained by anyone as long as they were sufficiently strong, the basic requirements were very high. In contrast, attributes like those of the quadruped extraterrestrial beings were common to all of them.
"They don’t have an affinity for magic and seem to lack special abilities, but their learning capacity must be excellent. Their strong nerves give them exceptional perception abilities, which in turn significantly enhance their survival skills. In every aspect, this species is superior to humans.
Plus, there are traces of biophysical enhancements on their bodies, yet these mean nothing in front of you."
Biophysical enhancements were no match for Zheng Yichen, but Ahn Ke could certainly learn from such technology. For instance, transferring the regenerative nerve trait of the quadruped extraterrestrial beings to humans or developing a new type of drug or strengthener through their corpses.
"Go rest for now, and we’ll find out more tomorrow." Ahn Ke took off her gloves, having gained preliminary understanding of the quadruped extraterrestrial beings, with the rest to follow gradually.
Such research wouldn’t mitigate the impact these quadruped extraterrestrial beings had on the humans of this world.
The next day, Ahn Ke couldn’t wait to head to the lab for new research on the quadruped extraterrestrial beings. Garel, on the other hand, was in another laboratory, attempting to tackle the problems faced by the world’s natives. The normal development of magic was a dead end, so they could try a different approach.
Such as magic-guided technology... This was also an area of progress in his world. Using magic array formations in this world was difficult and still influenced by the body. If that bodily influence could be circumvented, normal use of magic array formations was possible.
This wasn’t difficult to execute, as beings capable of using magic still existed in this world. Moreover, the power driving magic-guided technology was connected to Elements power from the outside world, similar to the use of electricity, but here it was replaced with Magic Power.
Magic Power differed from electricity; although Magic Power converted from external resources might have a lower upper limit, it was easier to accumulate, and if used well, it could still be effectively developed.
However, Garel knew this wasn’t enough to acquire the World Tree seed, even though he had discovered the method to obtain it.
Eliminate the extraterrestrial flagship, and the seed would be his, but that was something he couldn’t achieve.
Last night, he tried to penetrate the atmosphere alone to observe the situation in outer space, and the outcome was quite bad. The extraterrestrial beings had strengthened their blockade, and he was immediately attacked upon exiting the atmosphere. The intensity of the assault was extreme; a single attack couldn’t breach his domain, but the expression of Elements power outside the atmosphere was greatly weakened.
This made approaching those galactic warships amidst dense fire very difficult. Although he was faster in the vacuum of space, the energy consumption was slightly higher, and those warships were not slow either.
If the enemy was willing to engage in close combat, he could eliminate a few of their escort warships. As for the capital ships, it was feasible if they chose close-quarters combat. But based on the firepower he experienced, he’d be blasted to death before getting close if they weren’t willing.
And the flagship was out of the question. He was an old dragon and didn’t fancy being captured by some extraterrestrial being and used as a research specimen...
