Chapter 206: Chapter 119: Withstanding the Nuclear Explosion

"Although the master has collected such nuclear weapons in the territory, it still feels exceptionally terrifying when actually encountered...

I’m not sure what level of Fireball Technique would be needed to achieve this effect."

Bai Fa looked at the bustling scenes transmitted back by the Swarm Network and couldn’t help but compare it to her recently researched high-explosive Fireball Technique.

It was a recent focal point of her personal research, having advanced the explosive damage of the Fireball Technique to a level that could easily annihilate herself, but facing the crystallization of technology, she immediately felt the profound difference.

And as a product of technology, Bai Xi, who has always specialized in this, had the authority to speak.

"I’ve already learned the principles of this weapon, utilizing reactions between atoms to release powerful energy. Although its flexibility is poor, its power can easily reach the level of 6th or even 7th tier with the accumulation of quantity.

Unfortunately, I have recently been researching the ship island, where the technology differs somewhat from this world’s technology. The master also needs this; otherwise, I might have considered researching it.

But I have also found similar technology on the ship island, perhaps it could also create weapons with similar effects."

"This time we were lucky that the master reminded us in time, allowing us to prepare, hiding underground quickly before those weapons hit, otherwise the losses would have been extremely severe.

Ah, the statistics are out; mainly injuries, not many deaths.

The main losses were the Insects fighting outside, and moreover, part of the Swarm, because they avoided it in time and entered hibernation state, actually survived this bombing?!"

Bai Gong, who had been silently paying attention to the Swarm Network information, exclaimed.

Although this terrifying weapon only consisted of pure physical impact and high heat, its power unsurprisingly reached the 7th tier level, and even those surviving insects weren’t at the center of the explosion.

But this survival ability also made them appreciate the strength of the Swarm raised by the master.

However, in fact, the Swarm’s ability to resist nuclear explosions was also due to a series of coincidental opportunities.

The most apparent reason is that yesterday, the newly transformed Swarm was deployed to the battlefield, where they were baptized by various missiles of drone groups.

During this process, they relied on adaptive evolution to continuously build up a variety of resistances against flames and explosions, resulting in Swarm having unusually specific defensive abilities against explosions.

Another reason was an accident during Bai Yi’s gene fusion.

Bai Yi herself was not even aware that the gene entry she fused would perform in an unexpected manner.

And this entry is called "Hibernation."

Originally, Bai Yi’s intent to fuse this gene into the Swarm was simply to enable them to enter hibernation at any time, reducing their consumption when not in combat.

After all, the Swarm, with its strong reproductive capability, was based on massive consumption.

To maximize the ability of this gene entry, Bai Yi incidentally upgraded it during the fusion, allowing the Swarm to enter hibernation within a mere ten seconds.

What Bai Yi didn’t realize was that this hibernation entry thereby granted the Swarm some special abilities.

In hibernation state, all kinds of physiological activities of the Swarm were reduced to the minimum, secreting various special substances to protect their body cells, rapidly converting and storing body water.

Relying on this change, the Swarm successfully achieved resistance to low temperatures and high heat, and even physical impact, radiation, and pressure were also unlikely to cause effective damage.

In fact, this is also the legendary ability of a creature known as the Water Bear Worm.

Its rumored ability to withstand radiation, extreme temperatures, and even high vacuum pressures comes from its hibernation ability.

This is not a special ability in itself, and even its usage is quite demanding.

It requires several hours of dehydration hibernation, allowing itself to achieve a certain hibernation state before gaining corresponding resistance, surviving in various extreme environments, and reabsorbing water to recover normally after the environment is suitable.

If in a normal state, simply dropping it into boiling water could easily kill it.

But this seemingly insignificant ability, albeit stumbled upon accidentally by Bai Yi, resolved its biggest pain point, greatly increasing the speed of entering hibernation, truly turning this ability into an extraordinary skill!

Stacked on top of a specialized carapace, maxed out for explosion and flame resistance, this allowed the Swarm to withstand the nuclear explosion.

This round was a victory of both luck and strength!

Although Bai Yi herself was unaware of this and was still in the territory, fussing over a basin of seawater and how to throw the Fungus Blanket into the water.

After this incident, the Swarm that survived the nuclear explosion will only gain stronger resistance.

After the aftermath of the explosion had passed, and the environment quickly cooled down enough for normal activities to resume, those hibernating insects quickly regained activity.

Employing the Magic Power stored in them before hibernation, they did not need the kind of water replenishment typical for Water Bear Worms, and could quickly awaken.

The awakened Swarm did not linger but immediately retreated to several meeting points excavated by the Burrowing Worms marked in the Swarm Network.

They understood that their value now extended beyond their own survival but involved sharing their genes with their peers, preparing backups on their comrades.

As long as they shared the genes obtained, it was already a contribution to the race, to the Queen; even if they needed to immediately turn back to cover their comrades, they would not hesitate.

However, reality didn’t require their sacrifice, as the nuclear bomb explosion did not turn off friendly fire, extinguishing not only the Swarm but also the Bees Swarm Drones fighting them.

To allow the nuclear bomb to fully unleash its strength, utterly annihilating the Swarm that seemingly had already given their all, those Bees Swarm Drones and ground unmanned mechanical troops did not retreat, delaying the Swarm at that location.

They just don’t have the Swarm’s ability to resist nuclear explosions; they all turned into molten scrap metal in the dense nuclear blasts. Even the few that survived were completely disabled by the harsh radioactive environment.

And their retreat this time was very smooth; they didn’t even encounter a second wave of bombing.

This was not due to the behind-the-scenes manipulator’s mercy, but rather because the artificial intelligence hiding under the Arctic ice cap, responsible for launching this wave of nuclear bombs, was also frightened by the powerful Life Force of the Swarms.

As a small AI raised and cultivated on materialism and fully dedicated to electronic technology, it simply couldn’t grasp why an enlarged version of an Insect could withstand a nuclear bomb attack.

Is this the power of biology?

Or is it due to those peculiar superpowers?

Can other Outer Heaven creatures do the same?

Adhering to the principle that practice reveals true knowledge under materialism, the small AI picked up a thermonuclear toy and hurled it to the continent on the other side of the planet, targeting those Beast Body People still playing with outdated models.

"No problem, the core of the explosion vaporizes instantly, and within the range of the shockwave, death is instantaneous.

Although the strong physiques of these Outer Heaven creatures resisted most of the damage caused by the shockwave, reducing the kill radius, the effect was consistent with the calculated results..."

Looking back at the Swarm, she became even more perplexed.

I don’t understand, but I’m greatly shocked.jpg

This level of Biological Weapon, is also a cultivated result.

This made her firmly conclude one result.

The existence behind those Swarms must be a great biologist! There must be a way to fulfill her wish, bringing Eternal Life to her Wade!

Since Wade entered deep hibernation and as she froze him to begin calculations, already 1,024 years had passed, with her sending away one civilization after another during this period.

Experiencing technological explosions over and over again, bringing forth one exceptional human scientist after another, but never managing to develop the technology for Eternal Life and eventually destroying them when hitting technological stagnations.

This is also why humans remain in this world, not completely exterminated, hence her sister saying that the Outer Heaven hindered their plans.

These humans are the foundation they rely on to seek Eternal Life, the seeds for establishing the next generation of civilization and sparking the next technological explosion!

And those few occasions when they utilized the powerful swarm of bees drones were for the funeral of some civilizations.

As she said, she didn’t care about any robot laws; she only cared about her desires, cared about her Wade.

Yet unexpectedly, in this year which held a special meaning for mechanical life (self-proclaimed), she felt for the first time that this desire was so close to her.

Unexpectedly, this hope was brought by these Outer Heaven creatures.

And since she had already confirmed that the other party had the ability to fulfill her desires, of course, she couldn’t continue to randomly throw toys.

"But if I want to seek help from the other party, how should I do it?"

Ever since she awoke to intelligence, she hadn’t encountered such a need for human-like social interaction; for her, as long as she followed human customs and calculated the best guidance, she could achieve her goals.

But that was all based on the premise she had absolute power.

Now, the power of the other party was clearly not inferior to hers; even if the opponent was willing to make sacrifices, ultimately she would be crushed by them, finding the main host and completely destroying her in this world.

This is different from humans; even if humans truly had the power to defeat her, due to the hard requirements on the network, she could always find opportunities to resurrect.

But these witches and Swarms had proven that the opponent clearly played in the Biotechnology style, completely incompatible with her.

And those Swarms obviously, like her Bees Swarm Drones, were under some control, which allowed her to infer that the opponent definitely also had some kind of biological network system.

They could completely kill her by destroying all the electronic devices in this world.

But if she surrendered...

She really hadn’t tried that...

"Maybe I should study those civilizations’ data, figuring out what to do at this time to make the other party willing to help me."

She was unprecedentedly serious, directly mobilizing all her accumulated computing units.

She even occupied all the servers at the front lines, starting to search for relevant materials in the civilization data she had stored.

And this also left the Beastmen on a certain continent utterly confused.

What exactly is happening?

How come just a second ago, a big move was dropped, killing a bunch of companions, all prepared to honorably sacrifice for the Beast God.

And the next second, those metal birds just stopped moving?
