Adamantium, literally translated as "indestructible metal", is the strongest material ever used by the Empire of Man, as the name suggests, and probably not one of them.

Unlike Shining Gold, which was used to forge the Forbidden Armor, Adamantite did not have such a thing as "good toughness", and its over-sturdiness meant that it was commonly used to build the skeletons of large mechanical devices such as Terminators, Titans, and Space Battleships.

In many cases, even if a battleship's armor is destroyed, its hull is broken, and the entire ship is completely scrapped, its core keel can still remain intact.

The mechanical order usually salvages abandoned ships for repair, repair and washing, and then uses, mainly salvaging the pure gold keel that is the core of the warship, and then repairing or simply rebuilding the ship on the basis of the keel.

Sturdy, this unpretentious but precious and unusual property has made Adamantite a special preference for humans, but it also brings a problem - many ancient Adamantite artifacts containing precious technology cannot be dismantled and studied or re-transformed by the current Human Empire, because it is too strong.

On the basis of the Adamantite keel, combined with advanced technologies such as Zero Element Armor using neutron star materials and dark matter deflection shields, Russell is confident that he will design a new combat ship with better performance.

But before that, it is necessary to analyze the composition of the pure gold and find a way to produce the material in-house.

Now that the Nano Planet has been assimilated, Russell is confident that through advanced equipment such as nanodeformers and replicator terminals, any material that can be physically synthesized can be mass-produced in this large and efficient industrial base.

But when it comes to some idealistic things, it's not good, such as the Holy Relic Shield that the space necromancers in the Empire shake their heads when they see it......

After completing the dismantling of the two Chaos flagships, the Grey Gu Mothership collected most of the shipwreckage into the hull, dragged two Adamantite keels that could not be disassembled, and took Russell to the sky above Planet 2 at the Critical Base.

In the years since Russell's departure, this otherwise unremarkable and barren planet has undergone striking changes that can be seen directly even from the side of the ship in Grey Wind:

The cratered planet's surface has flattened, a viscous reticulate hyphae fills the canyon depressions, the entire planet seems to be wrapped in a layer of reddish cobwebs, and every dark place in the horns has been transformed into a hotbed of insect swarms.

This is the result of the biological modification of the planet by Colonia over the years, but in some higher places, it is somewhat powerless.

The pulsars in the center of the critical base are radiating a huge amount of electromagnetic pulses all the time, and almost no biological energy can thrive under such a strong energy impact.

The planet also does not have an atmosphere, that is, Colonia, which devoured the Sorins to complete the evolution of the self, can take root here with its adaptability against the sky, and to a certain extent, the radiation absorption of the stars is converted into nutrients through the powerful hyphae mixed with algae genes.

Even if you are a person who is afraid of death, you may not be able to bear this start.

A small Gray Gu fighter flew to the planet's surface with Russell. Following the psionic signal from Koroniai to the planet's surface, Grey Wind burrowed into a deep rift covered in mycelium.

The rift valley has been clearly excavated and reconstructed, and the inner tunnel has nine curves and eighteen bends, and a thick coating of biological tissue can be seen everywhere on the cave wall to isolate the absorption of radiation. Tens of thousands of burrowing insects are still digging deeper and wider, and occasionally giant sand pythons can be seen burrowing through rock formations.

Clearly, there's some kind of massive underground work going on here.

Here, the Gray Gu Fighter decomposed into a humanoid Gray Wind and accompanied Russell to the end of the tunnel, a palace-like hidden cavity hidden deep in the deepest part of the Rift Valley, which is where Colonia's body is located.

The bioluminescent structure that grows in the dome gives a rather bright view, and the nest of the queen mother of the insect colony fills the room with a refreshing sweet fragrance that smells a little fluttery.

When Russell came to the palace, the dense array of burrowers and protozoa stopped their work at the same time, and gathered on both sides of the "road" to prostrate on their knees, behaving respectfully.

In the depths of the palace, Colonia's massive body had fallen to the ground.

Before Russell could get closer, he was in obedience by exposing his head, which had the most vital organs and was also the most vulnerable, to its owner.

It uses its onomatopoeia organs deep in its throat to simulate the soft voice that can best tug at the heartstrings of a human male, and pleads in a low voice:

“…… Have mercy, my lord, please give me some more time, please give me another 50 years of Terra...... As long as I complete the transformation of the planet's core, I can create a strong enough biomagnetic field to resist the radiation of pulsars and breed enough healthy children for you......"

Russell's scalp tingled to stop Colonia from continuing, and a large, humanoid bug made a delicate human female voice in front of him, making him feel very disgraced.

"I'm not here to rush the progress, the environment here is really bad, and you can do this part, in fact, it has exceeded my expectations."

"Yes, master, thank you for being reasonable." Colonia then slowly and cautiously raised her head, but only slightly—it did not dare to look down at its master.

Russell crouched down in front of Colonia and touched the chitin carapace on its head: "But 50 years is indeed a long time, I need you to complete the transformation of the hatching planet as soon as possible, of course, I will give you some help." ”

Colonia was prostrate on the ground, not daring to answer, because the place where Russell touched was its psionic organ, a very sensitive, and very deadly organ.

Colonia's modification of Planet 2 will seem slow for no other reason than the lack of biomass. Nesting on a planet like this, An'an divides and purely farms on his own, and the efficiency of obtaining biomass is indeed much slower than directly plundering other creatures.

Fortunately, the first L-Star Gate has been opened, and now Russell can obtain a steady stream of biomass from Falla, which has been transformed into the planet Gaia, and send it here as rations for the queen worms. You can still afford to raise a Colonia.

By the time one person and one worm were talking, the Grey Gu Mothership had already sent all the wreckage of the two Chaos Flagships, as well as the two Adamantite Dragon Bone, to the innermost nano planet of the Critical Base Galaxy.

It then returned to the orbit of Colonia 2, where it transported a large amount of "cargo" to the surface of the planet.

When a large amount of branches, leaves, roots, and other biological tissues pruned from the forest covering Falla were dumped by the gray wind into the rift covered with mycelium, Russell clearly felt the fluctuation of Colonia's consciousness in front of him.

Tick –

A drop of viscous digestive juice dripped down the corner of Colonia's mouth and fell to the ground.

Colonia hurriedly covered her mouthparts with six claws to hide her gaffe, but the deep desire from her soul could not hide from her owner.

The moment she felt those nourishments, the heart of the queen was filled with a hungry desire, and even her thinking became impetuous.

Because those branches and leaves come from "Bao".

Gray Wind, who was standing behind Russell, clasped his hands and looked at the excited Colonia with some curiosity: "Why do you like Bao so much?" ”

Probably because Bao has a "delicious" quality......

Tick, tick – the digestive juices kept falling down Colonia's paws.
