[Ninth-Order Material]

#430 [Ninth-Order Material]

Imperial Academy of Engineering.

Materials Research Institute.

"What's going on? Why isn't it working?"

The director of the Materials Research Institute scratched his head incessantly, almost driven mad by the materials.

Through calculations, his theories and ideas were sound.

Yet, the error stubbornly persisted in this very spot.

What exactly was happening?

Could it be that their research direction was wrong?

"Chief Engineer, news from the Imperial Palace, inquiring about the progress of our material development. The current material costs are too high, and they hope we can expedite things."

"The frontline battlefield is too intense; they need to deploy the latest model of Law Warships to cope with this protracted War."

An Academician from the Materials Research Institute hurried in from outside.

"What can I do? It's a failure!"

The director of the Materials Research Institute pointed to the progress bar stuck on the screen, saying, "The cost of Law-Level Materials simply cannot be reduced unless we find Law-Level Materials to replace them."

"What's going on? Aren't the latest models of Warships supposed to be deployed to the Five Dimensions battlefield? Why are they being sent to the Frontline?"

He was very puzzled.

According to the plan, the Empire's latest Warships were meant to counter alien invasions.

Why would they now be deployed to deal with a group of Eighth-Order beings?

This shouldn't be the case.

"According to news from the Frontline, the Beastman Empire seems to have become a breakthrough point for the Allied Forces of Myriad Races."

"This has led to heavy losses for the Ninth Joint Fleet."

"So…"

"I see."

The director of the Materials Research Institute understood.

No wonder.

Among the Empire's three Subsidiary Civilizations, the Elf Kingdom was the strongest, the Beastman Kingdom was second, and the Seven Stars Kingdom was at the bottom.

The Seven Stars Kingdom was in the rear, not needing to experience the trials of War at all.

The Elf Kingdom could definitely hold them off, but it was only a matter of time.

As for the Beastman Kingdom, it was facing attacks from multiple sides, being right at the border.

Sky Beetle, Dwarf, Beastman.

The Allied Forces of Myriad Races can launch a joint attack from the Sky-Ox Empire and the Dwarf Empire.

The Beastman Empire is close to the Beastman Kingdom, and its strength far exceeds that of the Beastman Kingdom.

"Director, can we use the corpses of Ninth-Order Lifeforms as materials?"

Suddenly, an Academician who had been hanging his head in dejection looked up, his eyes gleaming with Wisdom.

If the remains of Ninth-Order Lifeforms could be used as materials, then the Empire would have an alternative to reduce material costs.

"???"

The Director of the Materials Research Institute looked at Academician Ming in astonishment.

You're really something.

How did I not think of this method?

He quickly said, "Immediately go to the Biological Gene Research Institute, we'll ask them for some parts of Ninth-Order Lifeforms."

Use the bodies of Ninth-Order Lifeforms to see if they can become materials for Type II Law Warships.

If it works...

They will find a way to imitate this thing, so as to replace the Type II Law Warships.

Perfect idea, perfect thought.

About half an hour later.

Li Bai, the Director of the Materials Research Institute, came to the Biological Research Institute. He looked at the Dean in front of him and said, "Dean, can you do me a small favor?"

"What's the situation?"

Li Muyao looked at Academician Li Bai in front of her.

"We need a section of a Ninth-Order Lifeform's body..." said Li Bai, the Director of the Materials Research Institute.

"What are you doing with the body of a Ninth-Order Lifeform for no reason?"

Li Muyao frowned.

She really couldn't figure out how the Materials Research Institute got involved with the body of a Ninth-Order Lifeform.

Could it be that the Materials Research Institute is planning to use Ninth-Order Lifeforms as a substitute for materials?

Isn't that idea too crazy?

"Dean, don't worry."

"We don't need too much."

"Even a hand will do."

Said Li Bai, the Director of the Materials Research Institute.

"You really can think, a hand?"

"At most, I'll give you a finger joint."

Li Muyao understood what Li Bai meant from his eyes.

It seems.

The Materials Research Institute is really planning to use Ninth-Order Lifeforms as substitutes for Law-Level Materials.

She originally thought she was crazy enough.

Unexpectedly, the Materials Research Institute is even more insane.

"Okay, okay, even a finger is a resource."

Hearing this, Li Bai from the Materials Research Institute said excitedly.

You can't underestimate the body of a Ninth-Order Lifeform.

"Actually, the body of a Ninth-Order Lifeform cannot be used as a material substitute for you."

Just then, Su Tianlong, the deputy director of the Biological Gene Research Institute, said.

He saw through the little thoughts of the Materials Research Institute at a glance and bluntly exposed their purpose.

"Why?"

Li Bai looked at Su Tianlong.

They are both Star-Level Academicians of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, and they know each other.

"If you want to find a substitute, I can recommend one to you."

Academician Su Tianlong said.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the director of the Materials Research Institute's eyes lit up, and he asked softly, "Old Su, just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush, who are we to each other?"

"Zerg."

Su Tianlong didn't beat around the bush and directly said what he wanted to recommend.

"Zerg?"

Li Muyao and Li Bai looked at Su Tianlong, the deputy director of the Life Research Institute, in confusion.

But soon.

Li Muyao reacted.

They can cultivate a Zerg army and make it evolve towards defense.

Can that massively replace the shortage of materials?

"It must be the Zerg."

"If there aren't enough materials, use the Zerg to make up for it."

"We need to lift the restrictions on the Zerg, let the Zerg devour resources to reach the level of Ninth-Order Lifeforms, and then use their bodies as materials for warships."

Su Tianlong said, "The body of a Ninth-Order Lifeform is quite terrifying. According to the current level of cosmic civilization, it is almost impossible to destroy the body of a Ninth-Order Lifeform."

"But the Zerg are different. The Zerg's hardness is about 1.35 times harder than a Ninth-Order Lifeform."

"Therefore, I recommend using the Zerg to replace Ninth-Order Lifeforms, to replace materials."

"Hiss~"

Li Bai gasped.

Damn it.

Is the Biological Gene Research Institute this crazy?

Removing the restrictions on the Zerg?

Are you really daring to think that?

How crazy and powerful are the Zerg now?

Are you blind?

In the war between the Empire's Zerg and the primitive Zerg, the Empire's Zerg are almost overwhelming their opponents.

If the restrictions are really lifted.

How will the Empire control them then?

"Don't think about those irrelevant things, we are talking about lifting the life level restrictions, not lifting the control over them."

Academician Su Tianlong said speechlessly, "According to our assumptions, a universe will most likely cultivate about 2-3 Ninth-Order Lifeform Zergs."

"When the time comes, kill a few Ninth-Order Lifeform Zergs, grind their bodies into powder, and add them to your Type I Law-Level Materials, wouldn't that be Type II Law-Level Materials? It can completely reduce the cost of materials, right?"
