Chapter 149 006. In fact, it was to protect Li Aoz's luck that Du Zexin left on his own initiative. He really made me cry to death
The shape of the incubator is like an hourglass, with a large number of runes carved on the outside. The overall structure does not show any sense of technology, and it is full of exquisite aesthetics of a hand-made workshop.

Li Aoz estimated that, except for the Mithril (titanium alloy) that he could replace, the others, including wooden materials, were all magical side products.

In many cases, there is no such thing as right and wrong in technology—because most of the time, materials and the environment determine the development direction of the civilization's technology tree.

For example, some civilizations have good innate materials, such as tea, ceramics, bamboo, and mulberry leaves, with four distinct seasons and rich terrains. Therefore, the path of technological trees is different from other civilizations. In the early days, they could rely on these things. Don't be convinced that the economy and trade surplus will develop.

The universe is huge, and different civilizations have different environments, and the materials obtained locally are also different. To others, it is something that science and technology take for granted, but to the people of Azure Star, it seems like witchcraft.

But unexpectedly, every civilization has developed a [Destruction] class of occupation. I have to say that it is really emotional: there really is no civilization that is not based on killing and war.

For Li Oz, the incubator itself is made of various magic materials, and it also has the effect of spell runes.

——Isn't this the mysterious side product that I need?

After he hatched the egg, he disassembled the incubator and installed it on the biochemical pool.

Originally limited by the problem of raw materials, the cultivation function had to be castrated, isn't this the case?
Li Aoz conveniently put this blue-purple void creature egg into the incubator, and then leisurely browsed the player forum to see if there were any new hell jokes to have fun with, while waiting for it to hatch.

Half an hour later, after hearing a crisp 'click' sound, Li Aoz raised his eyes and saw a deep gap in the egg of the void creature in the incubator.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, an inverted triangle-shaped sharp head slowly crawled out of it. It looked like it was between a lizard and a praying mantis. The serrated teeth gently tore open the eggshell. The petite but strong body Presenting the posture of a high-level hunter in nature, the dark purple exoskeleton plate armor flows with blue void energy, and the four scar-like prismatic eyes emerge with terrifying golden flashes.

Its body structure is like a combination of a crocodile and a praying mantis. It wears a crocodile's plate armor and a long tail. At the same time, it has the light posture of a praying mantis and a sharp sickle. It even blooms thin petal-shaped gorgeous wings behind it— ——All these external manifestations tell its identity: the hatchling of a high-level predator in the void.

"Void predator? It seems that I was lucky, at least I didn't give me something like void steam."

Just as Li Aoz was about to open the incubator, use gravity to tear the larva apart, and use it as material for future biochemical beast cultivation, something unexpected happened.

click!

The Void Predator twitched all over, as if going crazy, and kept hitting the glass of the incubator. Its body quickly dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its muscles and shell quickly shriveled. It was still strong and fierce just now. The predator fell headlong to the ground, its eyes dimmed, and its body quickly collapsed and shattered, turning into a blue-purple crystalline powder all over the place.

what's going on?
The adaptability of void creatures can't be so bad, even their traces can be found on the surface of the black hole, not to mention that this is an azure star whose environment is very suitable for living things to survive.

"Ok?"

Li Aoz mobilized his mutant vision, and quickly caught a tiny creature slowly crawling in the blue-purple crystal: it was a weird bug no bigger than a thumbnail, with a small body and a translucent white body.It is constantly wriggling and crawling forward, continuing to absorb the remaining void energy. Along with absorbing the powder of void crystallization, it is covered with thorns all over its body, and its body shape has also grown in a circle. A drill-like structure is derived.

"This doesn't seem to be a void creature."

Li Aoz picked it up with gravity, focused his eyes, magnified it ten times, and immediately saw the structure of its translucent body.

After comparing it with various creatures in his memory, Li Aoz finally confirmed its true identity:
"Spirit maggot."

This situation took him by surprise.

Although it's called 'maggots', it's actually just like the Holy Roman Empire—it's neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

Spirit maggots are neither spirit creatures nor maggots.It is an ancient cosmic creature. It can even be said that the actual existence of this race is probably longer than some narrative-level civilizations.

It's just that it's not a creature that should appear in the first layer of star abyss 'Abyss'.

"Ancient creatures like spirit maggots are completely metamorphosed life forms in the starry sky. They have a transcendent status in the various religions of the second-level star abyss. Especially for No. 12 narrative [Temple of Annihilation] It is said that spirit maggots are enshrined in the Pantheon as the 'chosen creation'."

However, Li Aoz knew that this thing had a more practical purpose.

The life of a spirit maggot is indeed similar to that of a bug, with four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.However, the genetic gap between mosquitoes and maggots is as big as the genetic gap between bananas and humans.

It will devour high-energy matter in its larval stage, ranging from nuclear radiation to void energy, and it will eventually become its pupation savings.When it collects enough energy, it will drill into the core of a planet, rely on the heat of the earth, and sleep for a long time. At the same time, its ganglia and synapses will dig the entire planet full of holes. The secreted special particles cover every cubic meter of air. Over a long period of time, they continuously receive and feel the environment on the surface of the earth, and even carry out remote sensing transformation of the biosphere on the ground.

When it wakes up, the whole planet will be reborn.

Yes, at this point, the practical usefulness of the spirit maggot has already been revealed.

According to the No.12 narrative [Temple of Annihilation], the tracking experiment conducted on the colorful cloud star cantilevered under the Jagda constellation shows that it takes 3 to [-] years for the spirit maggots to mature and become the patron saint of this planet.

This is also in line with the purpose of [Temple of Annihilation]: support, excavate, and cultivate a civilized god, and then invite the other party to join the sacred pantheon, and offer God's help to the immortality of the NO.12 narrative.

"This thing is not bad, [Temple of Annihilation] should offer a good price."

Li Aoz packed the maggots in a vacuum container and kept them with him, with a playful expression on his face.

Involving the living organisms in the lower star abyss, let alone the products that the [Temple of Annihilation] attaches great importance to, in the past, only some strong ones could be sacrificed, and they were allowed to rise up repeatedly to bear the curse, bringing as much as possible each time.

This has led to the fact that spirit maggots are often priceless in the market, and magic civilization is also thirsty for knowledge about this thing. The scientific research value of spirit maggots is great, but the one who has the greatest demand for this thing and is willing to bid hard is still【Annihilation temple】.

"I found that since Du Zexin left me, luck suddenly improved."

Li Aoz hummed a ditty softly, this spirit maggot was his first pot of gold when he entered the universe.

"Now that the spirit maggots can be produced, I don't even dare to think about what good things will happen next. It won't be the game tester who came to me personally and asked me to make a promotional video, right?"

Li Aoz muttered.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the guard of the laboratory shouted:
"Mr. Li Aoz! Three cream-coated men came outside and said they wanted to see you urgently."
