The Riken Race

In fact, besides being a means of attack, its greater value lies in its energy supply system.

With the Atomic Furnace, the Swarm's Bio-ship can be easily overcome.

Previously, long-distance, high-output accelerated flight was impossible, but now it is. Previously, even with full energy, Electromagnetic Cannon could only fire a few shots, but now it can be built to its full potential; the energy emitted by a single Thermonuclear Breath, converted into electromagnetic force, is enough to launch several projectiles.

However, the materials for manufacturing this thing are extremely scarce, requiring a large amount of special minerals, and the reaction materials need to be replenished from time to time during use. Fortunately, the Swarm currently has Creep and has occupied enough planets, so there are many places to mine.

More than half a month later, Rowan suddenly obtained another gene fragment, which surprised him. Judging from the analysis speed, this gene fragment was far more advanced than the Atomic Furnace.

And indeed, this is the truth. Hidden within this gene is the secret to how Godzilla's tens of thousands of tons of body could move freely without being crushed.

When Rowan first obtained the genes related to Godzilla's skeleton and body structure, he discovered that although Godzilla's enormous size was related to them...

However, their skeletal structure alone could not possibly support such a massive body. Rowan initially guessed that Godzilla must have used its electromagnetic field capabilities to counteract some of the gravity.

Furthermore, Godzilla's body structure also contains some tissues capable of generating magnetic fields, which it utilized to move rapidly in the sea.

But the gene fragment they've now harvested proves Rowan's previous guess was wrong. This gene's ability is actually related to gravity.

Godzilla did not use a pseudo-anti-gravity effect of magnetic repulsion to counteract its own weight, but rather directly manipulated gravity, utilizing genuine anti-gravity technology.

This technology is very advanced, Swarm previously had no prior knowledge of it. However, if they can understand and master this technology, the Swarm will experience another major boost.

Of course, "mastery" here doesn't just refer to superficial use like Godzilla, but rather to more in-depth applications. This requires long-term research and the support of a theoretical framework, as well as a bit of creative thinking.

Rowan tens of thousands of Intellect and began related research work. He himself spent several years turning the Atomic Furnace into a Creep component. The Creep has extremely high plasticity and compatibility. After the Atomic Furnace is modularized, individual Atomic Furnace can be nurtured by the Creep and then implanted into existing Bio-ship.

However, due to limitations in production materials, in the Origin Star System, because the number of Bio-ship stored there is very large, Atomic Furnace have only been installed on Ancient Class Mature Form with a body length of over 500 meters.

In the Proxima Star System, where development started later, Mature Form larger than 200 meters can enjoy the privilege of being equipped with Atomic Furnace.

The Swarm entered a development phase, and on the Big Origin Star, at the Mother Nest named Da Qi, it continuously produced Insect Empress. These Insect Empress deployed to various locations, and a large number of Bio-ship Larval Form were produced and hidden throughout the galaxy.

A great war may be waiting for the Swarm in the future, although Rowan felt that he had hidden himself very well and had been quite successful in playing the role of a native beast.

However, during the final attack on the Cat Ear Spaceship, it transmitted some messages, which were slightly flawed and it's unknown what kind of chain reaction they will trigger.

Therefore, he needed to prepare early. He even considered self-destructing the Red Moon Mother Nest in the Origin Star System and then moving to the Proxima Star System. But then he thought that the Origin Star System, as the Swarm's lair, had been completely occupied, Swarm's space units had developed, allowing them more freedom.

For example, in the Origin Star System, Larval Form and Mature Form can directly orbit a star to develop. However, in the Proxima Star System, because the true nature of the Rickon Group is still unknown, the Swarm needs to temporarily conceal itself. Therefore, space units cannot act so recklessly.

They typically need to disguise themselves as meteorites or hide within asteroids, and their growth rate is much slower than that of their counterparts in their Origin Star System. Moreover, if there are too many of them, hiding them becomes extremely difficult.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Rowan decided not to move the Red Moon Mother Nest to the Proxima Star System, but instead left it in the Origin Star System to accumulate military strength.

After all, Proxima Star System is only on one side of the Origin Star System. There are other galaxies in other directions around the Origin Star System, but they are a bit farther away, generally around seven or eight light-years away.

But who knows if some civilization is hidden there, and if so, how advanced is its technology?

Therefore, during this period, the Swarm Megastructure next to the star in the Origin Star System will not only launch Swarm Meteor toward the M37 Star System, but also launch Swarm Meteor to other locations in order to spread out the Swarm Network and expand its monitoring range.

"Your Excellency Speaker, Munro requests an audience." The old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open, and a smartly dressed Riken Person walked in and addressed the Speaker, who was seated behind a luxurious desk.

"Oh? Is there something urgent? You came without an appointment. The military is getting more and more impolite." The Speaker was a middle-aged Riken Person with wrinkled, light blue skin. He put down the documents in his hand and said with a slight complaint.

The uniformed Riken Person lowered his head, pretending not to hear the complaint.

"Alright, Ram, check the schedule and reschedule the things we need to do later. Then bring General Munro in."

"But there's a very important meeting coming up soon, a meeting about the demands of the elected representatives of the Trimble District." The Trimble District is a major vote bank for the Speaker, indirectly influencing even more people; it's a very important partner.

"What an annoying bunch of people. Let's postpone the meeting. I'd rather have that brute Munro barge in during the meeting than face that evil." Between two evils, choose the lesser. Those representatives are easier to deal with.

Ram pretended not to hear a certain word again, said "yes," and left the room.

In the empty office, Speaker Delrin sank into his comfortable office chair, looked at the beautiful floral patterns on the classically carved ceiling, and sighed.

Five hundred years ago, the Riken Race formed Federal Council with many states, achieving a form of unity. However, many of the original conflicts still exist and continue to this day.

The highest executive officer of the Federation is the Speaker of the House. Given the lifespan of the Riken Person, general elections are held every ten years, and the elected Speaker can serve a maximum of three consecutive terms.

Six years ago, with the help of many people, he managed to get to this position. He thought he had reached the pinnacle of his life, but in just a few years, he became mentally and physically exhausted. At only 170 years old, he was already suffering from minor ailments such as insomnia and headaches.

Most of these chronic illnesses are caused by excessive mental stress, and even with the current level of medical care among the Riken Race, they cannot be effectively resolved.

The reason is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. In order to gain the help of various forces, he made many promises, and now it's time to fulfill them.
