F-371

Rowan only paid a brief look at what was happening on Origin Star before turning his attention to Bodi Planet. Fifty years had passed since the Swarm first landed on Bodi Planet.

The lifespan of the Bodi People is extremely short, perhaps due to their inferior technological capabilities; their average lifespan is less than a century. The mech pilots like Jack and Rooney, once spirited young men, are now gray-haired.

Twenty years ago, the forces on the other side of the wormhole seemed to realize the risks, and the timing of the wormhole's opening became increasingly unpredictable. On one occasion, the wormhole remained closed for a full five years. Just when the Bodi People thought the other side had given up, the wormhole opened, and ten monsters shot out at once. Moreover, they had become even more powerful than before.

That surprise attack caught the Bodi People completely off guard, and the losses were extremely heavy. The first batch of Mecha Warrior who came to hunt down the monsters were all wiped out, and surprisingly, five monsters survived.

The five monsters destroyed several more Submarine, and before the Bodi People reinforcements arrived, they split into two groups and headed in different directions.

Unfortunately, halfway there, the group of three was intercepted by eight Mecha Warriors, and they were ultimately killed at the cost of five mechs. This surprise attack exceeded the Bodi People's ability to cope; they only had twenty mechs in service.

After intercepting the first group of monsters, only three badly damaged mechs remained. Relying on them alone to intercept the last two monsters would only be suicide.

Ultimately, after an emergency consultation, the Bodi People's leadership ordered the launch of Nuclear Bomb to kill the two monsters before they approached the city. As a result, Bodi Planet gained another contaminated area, and upon its formation, it immediately claimed the title of the largest contaminated area.

Rowan didn't care about the losses suffered by the Bodi People, nor about the environmental pollution. For the Swarm that could physically traverse the void, that pollution was nothing.

His focus was on what these two teams of monsters were trying to do.

The forces on the other side of the wormhole must have some knowledge of the giant metallic satellite Bodi Planet. Since the monsters are known to lack Negative Energy attacks, meaning they cannot violently break through the metal shell, their purpose seems quite obvious.

"They know the location of the metal casing portal, and most likely they even know how to open it!" Rowan quickly concluded.

Because the Bodi People have relatively poor technological capabilities, the Swarm has infiltrated them extremely quickly in recent years, and the Intellect have already gained a great deal of influence.

If Rowan were willing, there's a high probability he could delay the issuance and execution of decisions, and with his superior strength, the Swarm could also interfere with the Bodi People' killing of monsters.

This might have allowed them to find the location of the metal shell portal by relying on the monster's guidance. However, after careful consideration, Rowan abandoned this idea.

Even if Rowan found the portal, he wouldn't know how to open it, and even if the monster could open it, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

After all, until now, everything about the other side of the wormhole is just speculation.

Another important reason why Rowan abandoned this idea was that the research on active Negative Energy by the Swarm had entered the practical testing stage.

It is believed that in the near future, the Swarm will be able to open the metal shell on its own.

With this more reliable method, Rowan naturally no longer needed to take risks.

Logically speaking, while it cannot be definitively said that Negative Energy technology is more difficult than gravity technology, it is at least at the same level. For an ordinary civilization to conquer this technology in just a few decades is nothing short of a pipe dream.

But the Swarm, with its 30 million immortal scientific Intellect, turned this dream into reality.

That's actually a bit of an exaggeration. The main job of the Intellect is to observe Negative Energy and then filter out the more active parts. The rest of the work can only be completed so quickly under Rowan's supervision.

When a type of active Negative Energy called F-371 was finally selected after going through a rigorous screening process, Rowan avoided many detours in the production of F-371 thanks to the monster's own Negative Energy gene template.

Using his innate ability to manipulate genes with precision, and after years of continuous research and experimentation, Rowan finally succeeded in modifying the monster's genes, hatching organs and tissues that could directly produce F-371 energy.

Rowan named it the HF Organ, an abbreviation for Active Negative Energy Organ.

With the appropriate energy generator in place, the next step is to weaponize it. Currently, the Swarm's research on Negative Energy has only reached the simple production stage, without much in-depth study.

Therefore, it is not yet possible to concentrate and launch it.

To use an analogy, taking electricity as an example, the Swarm is currently like someone who has just built a power plant, but is still far from being able to gather the electricity produced by the power plant into ball lightning. However, building pipelines, transmitting it, and using it is much simpler.

This also provided a reference for the monster's genetic template. The monster's original Negative Energy transmission system and its accompanying field generation system could be directly used after modification. With his experience in modifying HF Organ, Rowan was quite adept at modifying these two systems.

The two systems were successfully upgraded in just over a year. However, the results of the tests after implementation were not ideal.

The Negative Energy membrane originally generated by the monster was only used for passive defense when traversing wormholes. However, the F-371's properties are completely different from that inert Negative Energy; it is more destructive and more unstable.

The characteristics of Negative Energy mean that it can only be confined by a magnetic field, but the requirements for the carrier that holds the magnetic field generating device, F-371, are much higher.

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult to solve. Through the demonstration of the metal shell's performance in materials science, the Swarm's understanding of related theories has reached a new level.

Combined with existing cheating methods, a new type of cell combining the genes of Metal Snail was born. It can absorb metal sites and rearrange their molecules to generate a special metallic substance similar to the components of a metallic shell.

Subsequently, after various practical demonstrations, a new offensive weapon was finally born.

The Atomic Furnace provides energy, which is then converted into F371 by the HF Organ. The energy is then transmitted to the weapon via a modified transmission system and confined to the weapon by Magnetic Field Generation System connected to it.

The weapon is a melee weapon that can be designed in various shapes as needed, such as claws, blades, or rams. It consists of a keratinous layer wrapped in a special metal, with the keratinous layer acting as a plasticity and the special metal acting as an enchantment for reinforcement.

Even without being enveloped by Negative Energy, its inherent resilience makes it an extremely powerful weapon. If it is further encased in Negative Energy, even the strongest defense will find it difficult to withstand its attack.

Rowan named this weapon system FN Blade!
