[…The electric arc pressure test has ended. The kinetic energy transmission structure test will be carried out next…]
The fleets that surrounded the Void Evil followed the Al’s instructions and tested them one by one.
At this moment, the Void Evil had already become out of shape during the experiment. Its wings had been disassembled and bound in midair by the gravity traction of some battleships. While preventing its random floating from affecting the experiment, it was also convenient for sampling.
The carapace outside its body was also covered in traces of impact, burning, and corrosion. A portion of its internal tissue was already exposed to the outside and was sampled and analyzed by a group of drones.
As cruel as it sounds, this is a necessary act to explore its bizarre anti-thermodynamic nature.
As it was discovered that the thermal resistance of the Void Evil was not strong, the onboard artificial intelligence deliberately used a ray with a lower temperature than that of a weapon to illuminate the Void Evil to test the effectiveness of its anti-thermodynamics.
In the end, it was determined that the threshold of its absorption of heat was about 6,000 to 7,000 degrees. Under this temperature, the Void Evil would not be injured and would automatically attract heat, absorbing the temperature in the vacuum to infinitely close to absolute zero.
However, the Void Evil would not spontaneously emit heat radiation. In the detection of the infrared sensors, the Void Evil was an extremely low-temperature state, or even the theoretical “absolute zero” state, because only objects that had reached absolute zero would not emit heat radiation.
However, when the drone came into contact with the Void Evil, it could clearly confirm through heat transmission that the body temperature of the Void Evil had reached more than a thousand degrees.
Although the temperature was not high, it also showed that the Void Evils still had the basic attributes of lifeform organisms. However, they were a little special. They could magically absorb all the thermal radiation and allow heat to spontaneously pass from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object through thermal radiation. They could not let the heat of a high-temperature object pass through thermal radiation to a low-temperature object.
The onboard Al has ruled out the effects of their outer shells and is now investigating whether an organ gave them that property.
When the artificial intelligence was about to take the next step, the news from Ether Dragons and Presolin arrived almost at the same time.
The intercepting fleet at the periphery all knew about this first. Only the one here, who was at the core of the galaxy, knew about the strange evolution ability of the Void Evil.
However, in the records of this ship-borne artificial intelligence, this Void Evil did not show any evolutionary abnormalities other than its thermodynamic properties.
This also slowed down the Al’s instructions to stop the experiment.
The Void Evil, which had been motionless like a dead fish, suddenly erupted. The gravity traction device that was originally used to immobilize it seemed to have lost its effect and instantly freed it from its restraints, charging straight at the warship closest to it.
The two pairs of wings that had been separated and hung in the universe seemed to have been summoned by something. They actually showed a certain level of activity. As the purple light flickered, a thin wave of psionic energy spread.
One had to know that the main composition of the wings of the Void Evil in sampling and analysis was not fibers or proteins, but various calcium compounds, which were bones.
The bone could actually activate psionic energy. This was clearly unheard of.
And this weak psionic energy was indeed effective. The weapon that was originally locked onto the Void Evil at any time to prevent it from escaping was slightly chaotic under the interference of this psionic energy.
Although this level of chaos only needed an instant to recover, it also gave the Void Evil a chance to exert its strength. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝐦
Several light spears flashed past, and this Void Evil became scattered. It was missing at least 75% of its body tissue.
However, the force exerted in advance had already taken effect. The inertia allowed its remaining body to successfully penetrate the high-energy shield of a battleship beside it.
When its body touched the high-energy shield that could easily evaporate its poisonous acid, it made a barbecue-like sizzling sound. However, its carapace only turned a little redder than before, and this resistance to high temperatures was something it had never shown before.
The second light spear attack came one after another. The Void Evil here was a little abnormal. In order to prevent more accidents from happening, the Al onboard the ship had already given the order to destroy it, even if it meant destroying the warship that was attacked.
Just as the main cannon light spear was about to hit the Void Evil that had lost 75% of its body tissue, it suddenly widened its front jaw. A beam of light that had been brewing at some point was fired from its mouthpart, hitting the battleship’s armor in the cubic space.
Now, Li Wenyuan’s battleships had all been equipped with replica dragon-scale armor. This kind of armor developed from the scales of the Ether Dragons had already exceeded the zero-element armor made of neutron degenerate matter in the experiment. Logically speaking, its defense should have far exceeded the zero-element armor.
However, the seemingly soft strike of Void Evil unexpectedly penetrated the dragon-scale armor. According to the damage report, this strike seemed to be very similar to the Dragon Breath Beam of the Ether Dragon.
The protection of the dragon-scale armor was stronger than the zero-element armor in most situations. Only when faced with the Ether Dragon’s Dragon Breath Beams it would appear unexpectedly weak. According to the Ether Dragon, this was to make it easier for the elders to teach the children a lesson.
The defense of this small escort fleet was broken, and a large hole visible to the naked eye appeared on the hull. It also allowed the Void Evil, which only had a quarter of its body left, to successfully stick its head into the hole and gnaw. Even if the net of light spears completely tore it and the escort fleet apart in the next second, the muscles controlling its jaw were still twitching, as if it wanted to continue gnawing.
The smoke dissipated, leaving less than 1% of the Void Evil’s body tissue and a completely scrapped escort fleet.
In response to the abnormal situation of this Void Evil, the Al onboard the ship came to the following conclusion after some analysis:
[…Suspected to have developed a certain level of intelligence…]
All kinds of information were shared by the people in this galaxy, including its unique environmental adaptability and evolution ability.
And all testing, torture, teasing, and other actions against the Void Evils were unanimously prohibited. Every creature or battleship that encountered the Void Evils would target the Void Evils first.
Li Wenyuan, who was two million light-years away, also found out about what was happening in this galaxy after a delay. In view of the increasingly abnormal nature of the Void Evil, he decided to give the onboard artificial intelligence higher rights and new instructions to face these strange Void Beasts.
The number of Void Evils in the entire galaxy quickly began to decrease under the encirclement of many parties, and these evil beasts were no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Instead, they hid everywhere.
This seemed to be a sign that their intelligence had increased. Moreover, there seemed to be a Void Evil commanding the chaotic group.
In a secret area in the galaxy, a strange-looking Void Evil quietly arrived near a certain planet.
Many strange mechanical organs appeared on its body. The tissues that were half circuits and half blood vessels connected its brain and body. As the electric current surged, some mysterious signal began to affect the trajectory of the other Void Evils.
It looked around and began to peel off the surface of the planet.
Under the rock stratum was not a flowing mantle structure, but a mechanical surface that reflected a metallic luster..
