Materials

If something can elicit a gasp from one Epoch Clan, it might be out of curiosity. But to gain the approval of two different mother Epoch Clan is enough to prove that what the Blue-Haired Monkey found is indeed something worth seeing.

Out of curiosity, everyone swarmed around. It wasn't wartime now, and management was relatively relaxed, so this unauthorized departure from their seats wasn't stopped. Even the cabin staff were curious and gathered around.

When the Epoch Clan saw what was displayed on the screen in front of the Blue-Haired Monkey, gasps of surprise rose and fell.

"Really?"

"Could they just be hyping themselves up?"

"That's possible, but I don't believe a civilization of this caliber could produce something this good."

"They can't be just bragging; it wouldn't benefit them at all!"

"Perhaps it was intentionally shown to us."

"Looking at the posting time, I just calculated it, and when they posted it, they didn't even know about the Star Sea Alliance."

"Tack, scroll down and see what it says below."

"Universal Vaccination Plan? Extending lifespan by one-tenth? Wow, that's a huge plan."

"Interesting. Looks like this isn't a rare find."

"That's right, the ability to mass-produce it makes its value even greater."

"It seems we need to report this. If the information is verified, we'll all be credited. This is truly an unexpected bonus," said the Ji Epoch Clan administrator. Then, noticing the Blue-Haired Monkey who seemed about to speak, he added with a smile, "Of course, Tack, you deserve the most credit."

Tack, the Blue-Haired Monkey, immediately beamed with joy.

What this Epoch Clan discovered was the "Life-Extending Serum" developed by the Riken Race. That's right, it was the Life-Extending Serum that the Swarm painstakingly created in order to infiltrate the Riken Race transform them into an Intellect production base.

The situation was quickly reported and took notice. All the Epoch Clan personnel remaining on the two warships were relieved of their leave and returned to their posts.

"Everyone, get moving! I need you to act quickly and with all your might! Gather all information about the Life-Extending Serum by any means necessary." The Epoch Clan leader who remained behind was a humanoid creature with dark yellow eyes like two huge yellow gemstones. He summoned all the Epoch Clan and assigned them tasks.

"General, I think we should directly ask the Riken Race for the relevant information. After all, judging from the information they have released, it's not exactly confidential," a member of the Epoch Clan suggested.

The person in charge of the yellow gem eyes was named Oga. Although he currently only commanded two warships, he held the rank of rear admiral. Hearing the suggestion, he nodded and said, "I will. I will submit the application to the Riken Council after the meeting, but we also need to collect some information ourselves for comparison, in case they are hiding anything."

Everyone nodded in agreement and returned to their posts to access the Riken Intranet and search for relevant information.

Although the Original Epoch Clan initially fell into a major pitfall in their pursuit of lifespan extension, ultimately leading to their own demise, this served as a significant warning to the New Epoch Clan and other races. However, intelligent beings are inherently driven by the desire for longer lifespans, an instinct that cannot be erased by mere warnings. At most, it simply means being more cautious in research.

While various ethnic groups have ways of indirectly extending lifespan through hibernation, unconscious sleep is not considered by many to be a true extension of lifespan.

The meaning of life lies in discovering wonders. What difference is there between being asleep and being dead? The universe is too vast, with so many mysteries and unknowns. Most intelligent beings would not be willing to die before they have understood everything.

Therefore, nowadays, both the New Epoch Clan and other tribes are constantly searching for ways to extend lifespan, conducting exploration and research. However, the Epoch Clan has already made great strides in this field, and it is difficult for their descendants who have inherited the legacy to go any further. They can only choose some compromises in this technology. For example, they can extend their lifespan by sacrificing a small amount of emotion.

But they weren't satisfied with that; they needed more.

This is also why the Epoch Clan were delighted when they discovered the information about Life-Extending Serum from the Riken Race. The Riken Race had never been exposed to the Epoch Clan's longevity techniques before, which shows that they were not influenced by the Epoch Clan in this field and had forged their own path.

Furthermore, judging from their nationwide vaccination program, the technology is already quite mature. Moreover, the fact that billions of people can be vaccinated, compared to the Riken Race's meager territory, indicates that the cost of this method is extremely low.

If this technology can be proven to be truly effective and versatile, it might just change the entire the Alliance.

The Riken Race, perhaps understanding the disparity in strength or for other purposes, readily handed over the materials to the Epoch Clan in response to their request.

This is just an introduction and does not include the core technologies.

"The initial materials came from the T85 Star System, near the lair of a monster that Atomic Breath? We failed to detect it beforehand; this is dereliction of duty. I'm reporting those responsible for monitoring this area."

"Calm down. That's Zerg territory. That monster might be Zerg Biological Weapon. The data does mention it, and there have been related suspicions since then."

"But why didn't the Zerg discover these materials?"

"Are you kidding me? How could I not notice something growing on my own land?"

"Why did they just let the Riken Race take such a precious thing away?"

"Perhaps this is nothing to the Zerg!"

Several Epoch Clan exchanged glances. "Perhaps this thing is useless against the Zerg."

"If this material is not versatile, then its value will be much lower."

"Hmm, does the Zerg have something better? Are these just scraps?"

"That makes sense. I don't believe this thing has nothing to do with the Zerg. They might have something even better."

"That's possible, but we still know very little about the Zerg. We don't even know how long they can live. Or maybe their basic lifespan is very long, so they don't need this at all."

The members of the Epoch Clan exchanged glances again, silently noting down their discussion to write in their mission report later, hoping it might earn them some merit.

"The information states that this material is easy to cultivate, requiring only nuclear waste and basically no other maintenance."

"If that's the case, then it's truly a win-win situation. There's just too much nuclear waste; in the past, we just packaged it up and dumped it directly into stars, which was too much trouble."

"I was wondering how a small, rural tribe could possess such advanced technology. I think it mainly relies on these special materials. Their so-called core technology is utterly insignificant."

"Agreed. With our technological capabilities and personnel reserves, developing the corresponding product will be a piece of cake."
