Strictly speaking, this spaceship was a fortress. It had everything from ecological zones and laboratories to manufacturing plants, and could support thousands of people living and reproducing for many years.

Its enormous mass actually made it unsuitable for mobile combat, so it served as a safe house, primarily a place to live-the equivalent of building an "island" in uninhabited territory.

In regions of the Dark Starry Sky such as the Abyss, countless carrier-type spaceships like this were even linked together with cables, forming metal continents.

"So the key to perfectly combining life with different biological bases really is this primordial water."

"This substance is simply incredible." As a two-star physician at Lingzhu Pharmaceuticals, Fanny certainly had no need to take part in any robbery.

She stayed aboard the spaceship, carefully studying primordial water.

If H2O was the source of life for carbon-based lifeforms, then primordial water was the "universal adaptation medium" for all life.

It had the highest known polarity and the most comprehensive set of shared physical properties of any molecule. The difference in charge between its two ends could vary in countless ways, allowing it to support the immense complexity of any form of life.

Primordial water was nontoxic to every lifeform and would produce no harmful substances.

All molecules could be attracted to it, and all molecules could also be repelled by it. That depended on the modifying substances added to it, making it extremely adaptable.

Every form of life had a basic structure. Carbon-based life used cells, while silicon-based life used a kind of "crystalline grain."

Cells needed water, while crystalline grains needed elemental sodium.

Their different requirements naturally made them incompatible, but primordial water was extraordinary. It could accommodate both at once, serving as the "primordial cellular fluid" needed by the fused "crystalline cells."

Thus,
