Skeleton Elf

Chapter 558 Eliminating the Orcs

Li Hao frowned. Seeing that Li Hao hadn't refused immediately, Polina was overjoyed and quickly explained, "Brother Li, it's like this, I've been studying the Tianren, the Zongren, and the Shouren recently. Basically, anyone who comes to Kepler, I try to get Luo Luo to get some samples. I have to say, I've found some inspiration from them. The only way to narrow the gap is science. As the strongest human, you should contribute a little, right?"

Romero, standing beside her, smiled wryly. "She said she might be able to solve the gravity problem, a link in our genes. If we can safely unlock it, we can avoid a lot of detours."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Hao certainly knew that gravity wasn't much of a burden for warriors with Overlord Body, but it was still a major constraint for most warriors. If a method to unlock it could be found, humanity's combat power would take a huge leap and be able to integrate with the Star Alliance's combat system more quickly.

"The Zongren and Luo Luo are in similar situations. Whether it's silicon-based or insectoid, they all have a way to automatically balance gravity. It's not just simply strengthening the body. The Shouren, on the surface, rely on bone density and special strengthened muscles to withstand it, but in essence, it also comes from a certain characteristic of their genes. From what I see now, only we humans are locked. Of course, my conclusion is based on the existing gene samples. I think Brother Li unlocked his genetic lock under some unknown circumstances," Polina said. She had used her position as the governor's wife to obtain a lot of information. After all, Kepler was a desirable place in everyone's eyes now.

"Blindly striving in the wrong direction is actually very foolish. Luo Luo's reincarnation is the same. He not only balanced gravity but also gained better environmental adaptability. It's just that I haven't been able to achieve success in how he did it, and after all, he's already been reincarnated. He might not be suitable for others, and it largely depends on the power of the Nemeians. But Thesius is dead, and the ruins have been destroyed," Polina said.

There was actually an unspoken subtext: even if it were possible, no one would be willing to undergo such a reincarnation. "And there have also been unexpected gains from the Tianren and the Hai people of Hellaweis. The Tianren's self-adaptation to gravity is a kind of physical talent. The Tianren's cells seem to be able to adjust themselves according to the environment. As long as it's not too harsh, they can adapt in a short period of time and remember it. It's very magical. As for the Hai people of Hellaweis, judging from their physical strength alone, I feel they're even weaker than us, but they can move freely in many gravity environments and don't need external equipment. I heard that a long time ago, they got inspiration from some kind of marine creature and developed a way to solve the problem. In other words, some of their strength is natural, and some is acquired. Then we can do the same."

Aliens would definitely not help humans; this was a very important part of evolution. But if humans could do it, it would solve the most棘手 problem facing the top human warriors.

"Does it have to be me?"

"Brother Li, your body can also adapt to gravity, and you're the most unique among us. Studying your changes will have a clearer effect on our evolution. After all, you're human. What's suitable for alien races may not be suitable for us." Polina's eyes were a little sharp. "Brother Li, as our leader, can you sacrifice a little for humanity?"

This was a wave of emotional appeals, coupled with the great righteousness of humanity, and Li Hao felt that he couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Li Hao shivered. "What do you want to do? You're not going to dissect me, are you?" He actually hated hospitals and didn't like getting shots. He'd faint.

Looking at Li Hao's appearance, Polina couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Li, you're so funny. Just draw some blood and take a few X-rays."

"Then I can handle it." Li Hao smiled. "If we can solve the gravity problem, it'll be a great help to us."

At this time, a large-scale battle broke out in the Shouren settlement area on Kepler. The Zongren, with a large number of giant insects, surrounded the Laltu people and, in coordination with the mobile warriors, carried out an encirclement and suppression of the Shouren. The Laltu Shouren's counterattack was still very fierce. The Shouren were either enslaved to work or wandering around looting. They had strong bodies but short lifespans, averaging fifty to sixty years. Their reproductive ability was more than ten times that of humans, and their genes were strong, allowing them to leave offspring with similar species. Their diet was also quite extensive, and some of the Shouren even had "Beast Martial Boxes" containing Shouren armaments.

The human mecha were dwarfed in comparison. Their offense, defense, and agility were all crushed. They relied entirely on the giant insects and the main force of the Zongren to suppress them to win against these Shouren, and of course, they paid a great price.

This battle also made Romero and others fully realize that they had to obtain Tianren armaments. Even the inferior, low-quality Shouren armaments had better combat power than the top human mecha. This technological gap was appalling. It should be known that the Shouren who came to Kepler were not top-notch.

After the battle ended, Kepler publicly announced the "evil deeds" of the Shouren during this period and filed a lawsuit with the Star River Alliance Council to create public opinion. Polina had secretly sent people to collect a lot of information in this regard. Kepler welcomed the friendship of any civilization, but Kepler would risk everything to fight any civilization that tried to trample on Kepler.

The whole incident caused a stir on Kepler and also attracted the attention of the Star Alliance, but the Solar System Council still did nothing. Of course, the Laltu Empire was jumping up and down. Star River warriors were already on their way to Kepler to investigate the incident. This matter was no small matter. Li Hao, the instigator, didn't care and lived the life of a guinea pig. Polina was very depressed. Li Hao's cells were obviously different. Some kind of magical change must have occurred, but the ghostly thing was that as soon as she observed them, they became very ordinary, as if they had intelligence. No matter what equipment she used, the effect was the same. X-rays were the same. Either she couldn't see anything, it was all black, or she could see clearly that it was a human structure, nothing special. But she was very sure that it was definitely different.

Also, the idea of trying to clone him was still the same failure. It wasn't that it couldn't be done, but it just kept failing, which made Polina a little frustrated. Something must have happened to Li Hao, but it was beyond the scope of science. Even the samples of the Tianren didn't have such a problem.

Once Polina started experimenting, she entered her own world and ignored everyone. Romero was also liberated. Li Hao could understand a little. Although he didn't know what had happened between Romero and Polina, Polina probably defined Romero as the core of humanity, that kind of loneliness. Li Hao understood. He also needed something to define himself; otherwise, he didn't know what he was.

"Romero, you don't have to worry about the Star River investigation team. I'll handle it. The next step for Kepler is to establish its own Saintly Choir organization. This is a key part of the Star River Alliance's ruling order. The Solar System feels very far away, but Kepler has unique advantages, and after having the Saintly Choir, other civilizations will be a little more disciplined when they come to Kepler," Li Hao said. From the information he had obtained, most of it was about the Saintly Choir. Establishing the Saintly Choir was the real way to integrate into the Star River civilization.

Romero nodded. "The Solar System Council has proposed it before, but it was rejected. This matter needs the support of Tianren power. Where do we have it now? And some of the Star River warriors I've come into contact with, and a chief sergeant, to be honest, I'm really not afraid without Tian Wu, but with Tian Wu, I feel like it's not enough."

Li Hao was stunned. Tianren armaments…

"Brother Li, after I reincarnated, although I can't beat you, I really feel that the universe is so big, I can go anywhere. But after contacting the Star River warriors, I feel so small, and I've become uglier."

Li Hao smiled when he heard this. "Haha, you've even become humorous. It seems that Polina has trained you well. You're very mighty now, and you're not ugly at all. I think the Tianren are just so-so."

Romero was stunned and smiled bitterly. "That's because you haven't met a Tianren yet. Speaking of which, you're a bit like them. They're really scary, especially their Tianren armaments. They're not just simple armor. The Council has been trying to imitate and analyze them, but I feel like it's going to be difficult. Tianren armaments are the core power of Tianren civilization, containing their methods of using 'Cosmic Power.' The Council is now trying everything to get a Tianren armament to study... Hey?"

Li Hao didn't know when he had turned over the box and rummaged through it, taking out a sword. "Are you talking about this thing?"

Romero's huge eyeballs almost popped out. He rubbed his eyes and shook his head. "Tianren armament?..."

It looked a bit like it, but it wasn't quite right. Whether it was Tian Wu or Shou Wu, they all had a silver metal box. How could this be a weapon?

"I guess so. I picked it up. We have corresponding researchers here. You can take it to them to explore. There's a pile of miscellaneous things here."

Li Hao threw it away casually. Romero quickly caught it. As soon as he got it in his hand, he had a very special feeling. It wasn't a metallic texture; it was very warm, like it was alive.

"I don't have such people here, and I don't understand it very well," Romero said a little confused. "But it can be set up. I remember Polina said that Kevin and Jerris are geniuses in this field."

"Then bring them over. Aren't you the governor now? Call more people. They must be pretty idle and have energy but no place to use it. Also, our teammates who fought together are now unemployed and acting as bodyguards everywhere. Why not arrange them? You're also a governor, after all. Stir things up. Treat other civilizations, in short, don't treat them like people. Stabilize them first, and then wander around to see if there are any benefits," Li Hao said. With power, what can't you do?

Romero nodded. "Then how do I deal with this? What if the Council wants it?"
