"Sure. Retrieve all relevant knowledge in the Library related to biology, materials science, and environmental adaptability. Based on my upcoming real-time experimental data, perform cross-referencing and intelligent filtering, and synchronize the relevant information to me."

Thanks to his diligent study and integration of programming concepts and algorithmic logic from both worlds, he made a series of underlying Optimizations to "Xiao Luo".

Now, it can efficiently manage and retrieve the massive amount of knowledge in his "Dream Library," achieving automated association at least at the text information level.

Xiao Luo is getting better and better; even Su Luo says it's great after using it.

A set of precision dissection tools, crafted from No. 3 Alloy and gleaming with a cold, sharp light, flew out from the storage shelf and hovered beside him.

Su Luo casually picked up a strangely shaped scalpel and began her meticulous research.

Hours later, the anatomical structures of the last few Zerg samples were neatly arranged on the experimental table. They were not mangled and bloody, but rather like meticulously crafted biological specimens, with every muscle texture, nerve node, and skeletal structure clearly displayed, presenting a strange and rigorous aesthetic.

They have no eyes; their primary organ of perception is sensing Mana.

Su Luo withdrew her Divine Power from a precision instrument.

This is a cryo-electron microscope. It has no brand or specifications, and I don't know which underground research institute found it.

In addition, Su Luo's Laboratory had several instruments for observing the microscopic world, but they were all damaged in the previous gravitational upheaval. Only this instrument, which was originally placed in the System Space and is now specially preserved by Su Luo, is still usable.

"Even the basic elemental Chengdu is different... I even suspect that the microscopic forces and fundamental physical constants here are different from those in the conventional universe."

The passwords and physical constants are different, so shouldn't Su Luo and the other Survivors have disappeared as soon as they entered the area outside the zone?

Su Luo frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly recalled the relationship between elements and the underlying rules of the world when she was developing her conjecture about the Baleful Qi, and immediately felt relieved.

Don't overthink it.

Su Luo turned her attention back to research that had more practical significance.

While the Zerg's unique body structure and efficient Mana transmission network are certainly worth noting, these alone are insufficient to fully explain the phenomenon of Level 5 Zerg moving with incredible speed under a hundred times the force of gravity.

It was a complex yet exquisitely Spell model, seemingly naturally imprinted into every inch of flesh and blood. It operated autonomously, endlessly Cycle, Perfect integrated with the life activities of the Zerg.

Su Luo was captivated at first glance, just like a cultivator seeing the Dao patterns of heaven and earth.

They kept a large amount of data records and simultaneously began creating several samples.

Su Luo barely managed to extricate herself from the study of these natural Spell models before immediately applying the inspiration she had gained to practice.

"The most valuable aspect is the reason for the formation of these Spell models... We'll study them again when we get back. These models contain a large number of Spell Pressure Resistance, disperse impacts, and enhance structural toughness, which can be used to upgrade the Laboratory's defenses and adaptability."

Su Luo said so, and she did so. Several hours later, the greatly enhanced Laboratory set off again, heading deeper into the mountains where the gravity was stronger.

As the altitude increases by several thousand meters, the ambient gravity also increases to two hundred times the normal level.

"In this mountain range, the higher the altitude, the stronger the gravity, which naturally selects the creatures that live here. The higher the altitude, the stronger the creatures. This is a kind of environmental selection."

Su Luo paused again to conduct another round of adaptive adjustments to the Laboratory.

Laboratory lack the self-regulation and evolutionary capabilities of living organisms. While their external armor and main frame may be able to withstand the sheer strength of their materials, their internal, sophisticated energy circuits, fragile observation instruments, and complex piping systems are ill-equipped to withstand the immense and constantly changing pressures they experience.

Just as you can't expect your younger brother to bear the pressure on your legs, even though someone is called a third leg, you can't actually use your brother as a leg.

Su Luo patiently strengthened each subsystem in a targeted manner, mainly by adapting and fixing the natural Pressure Resistance Spell models that had just been analyzed from the Zerg to the key structures of the Laboratory. The overall environmental tolerance of the Laboratory steadily improved in this process.

This process is similar to how the development of high-end fighter jets cannot be separated from verification in supersonic wind tunnels.

Only by immersing ourselves in a real high-gravity environment can we most effectively identify weaknesses and verify the feasibility of new technologies.

When the ambient gravity increased to six hundred times, the core of the Laboratory — the Mana Pool —groaned in despair, unable to bear the strain.

Fine cracks began to appear on the pool walls, and the highly compressed Mana inside became extremely unstable.

The Mana Pool could no longer withstand such terrifying gravity, so this exploration of the Gravity Mountains has come to an end.

The Laboratory can't handle it anymore, so climbing any higher would be crazy. Su Luo doesn't have any skills like rebuilding from the ashes or extreme body tempering.

We'll explore the rest of the area another time!

The harvest was plentiful; the Laboratory's maximum acceleration tolerance has increased almost tenfold, meaning we can now start shooting at zero frames per second. Of course, the most important gain was the bodies of these insects.

Su Luo's face was flushed, her eyes were red, and the Heart Fiend Blood Qi and Natural Elements in the center of her body were circulating at high speed to maintain the body's operation.

Under this gravity, some organs might not feel like working, but that's okay. After so many modifications, Su Luo's body could actually survive even if it were a lump of mud.

When Su Luo Crossing that vast [Dangerous Terrain] again and returned to the originally marked wasteland, he stopped in the Laboratory.

There was nothing in front of me.

The long path of Black Flames he had prepared as a road sign has disappeared.

Su Luo frowned slightly, immediately calmed her mind, and tried to sense the location Spell left in Zone 76.

A faint but clear connection was established in my consciousness, pointing in a specific direction.

He had just turned the Laboratory around when the sensation suddenly changed, appearing in the completely opposite direction.

Immediately afterwards, like twinkling starlight, the sensory sources appeared from several different directions at the same time.

"Some kind of interference?"

He pulled up previously recorded environmental topographic maps for comparison and discovered an even more puzzling phenomenon.

According to records, this place was originally a huge valley, but now it is a flat wasteland;

The stagnant water area marked ahead has now been replaced by a bottomless Great Rift.

The terrain is changing. And in less than a day, it has undergone a dramatic transformation.

Su Luo repeatedly confirmed that she had not been teleported by any spatial force and was always in a continuous space—it was this land itself that was reshaping its appearance in an incomprehensible way.
