Astral Cockroach

Humans used genetic engineering to compile first to fourth level technology knowledge into gene fragments and implant them into the racial genetic code.

From the age of five, the genes carrying technological knowledge in humans gradually awakened, granting them corresponding inherited memories.

When Banbu was human, he had a dream since he was very young: to become a great scientist when he grew up.

Unfortunately, later his Origin Power awakened, and it was the best SSS-grade talent, but his technological talent was biased, lower than the human average, a D-grade talent. Logically, under the arrangement of his family, he embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation, which he was not very enthusiastic about.

… …

The Luan-K704 transport spaceship, which transports materials across star systems, is a genuine product of seventh-level technological civilization.

A group of insects who haven't even reached the first-level civilization, and can't even use slash-and-burn cultivation properly, are divided into research teams in a seemingly professional manner, seriously studying seventh-level civilization.

No matter how you look at it, it's ridiculous and laughable.

But on second thought, Banbu was a little happy: This ability of mine can finally be put to use!

“Just show off a little to gain the trust of the Saber Mantis tribe, and find a chance to go to the bottom of the wreckage to see if the legendary thing is there?”

… …

“Lord Banbu, look.”

Princess Jinqiu began to show Banbu their research results.

She carefully picked up a small electric box with a third-level Origin Crystal, and pointed to the robots in the hold, saying: "These gadgets also need to consume 'physical energy' to move, similar to lightning abilities. We call it 'electrical energy'. This kind of box can store and release electrical energy, and it can also be replenished in an incomprehensible way."

“Wow, that’s amazing!” Banbu exclaimed on the surface, but was also very emotional in his heart: These insect warriors are quite capable, they even created the word 'electrical energy'.

Electrical energy is conducted from the energy compartment through superconducting lines to the first-level electric box, converted into ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves through the first-level Origin Crystal, transmitted to the second-level Origin Crystal, relayed through the second-level Origin Crystal, transmitted to the third-level small electric box, and finally covers the designated area through the third-level Origin Crystal.

Within the area, all electrical equipment can receive ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves at any time to replenish electrical energy, including robots responsible for various tasks.

Princess Jinqiu pointed to the cleaning robot and said: "In order to replenish electrical energy, it always stays close to the box."

Princess Jinqiu said, and moved the third-level small electric box.

The corresponding cleaning robot activated, followed the movement, stopped at a fixed position of 18cm, and re-entered standby mode.

Princess Jinqiu continued to move the electric box, and the cleaning robot followed again.

Princess Jinqiu took out a lead sheet from the storage cabinet embedded in the wall of the compartment door and covered the third-level Origin Crystal.

The ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave was shielded.

The corresponding cleaning robot was at a loss. After wandering around, it found a nearby third-level electric box and parked side by side with another cleaning robot. Very intelligently, the original cleaning robot moved slightly to make room for its companion.

Princess Jinqiu removed the lead sheet that shielded the electromagnetic waves, moved the cleaning robot back, and then took out an ordinary mountain stone from the storage cabinet, ground it into powder and sprinkled it on the ground.

The cleaning robot detected foreign objects on the ground, activated from standby mode, and began to clean up the garbage on the ground.

Princess Jinqiu's demonstration process lasted for most of the night, just to exhaust the stored electrical energy in the electric box, and then took Banbu into the living area to continue demonstrating the magical "wireless charging".

… …

The demonstration and explanation are over.

Returned to the cultivation cabin that had been transformed into a "laboratory".

Princess Jinqiu said solemnly: "Lord Banbu, the thing you made can also generate electrical energy, right?"

Princess Jinqiu was referring to the wind power station.

Banbu said: "That's right, I call it a 'generator', and the whole thing is called a 'power station'."

Princess Jinqiu said: "Lord Banbu, then I need to trouble you to make a generator now."

Banbu readily said: "No problem."

Princess Jinqiu asked: "Do you need materials?"

Banbu said: "I need a lot of metal materials."

Princess Jinqiu smiled and said: "Other things may not work, but extracting metal and converting metal are my strengths! What kind of metal do you need? Let's go, I'll help you get it!"

… …

Among the metal abilities that Princess Jinqiu awakened, the best at is metal manipulation, which extends to extracting various metals from the soil relatively accurately.

Judging from her appearance, she was just a guy who only knew how to do things, not how to think.

Banbu simply handed over the heavy task of collecting metal to her, mainly collecting aluminum, copper, and iron, with no other requirements, but the quantity must be large.

Princess Jinqiu did not fight alone, but found several fellow warriors to help, searching the mountains and fields for soil rich in metallic substances.

Banbu himself was relatively relaxed, basically just lying down and resting.

The Saber Mantis tribe warriors guarded him very closely, only allowing him to move around in the fourth-floor cultivation cabin and the seventh-floor restaurant. Without the permission of the Azure Mantis King, most of the wreckage was not allowed to enter or exit.

The entire fourth floor of the spaceship was full of cultivation cabins, which have now been transformed into temporary laboratories, each with a research team doing the same work.

The Azure Spruce Mantis King set a clear rule: Only one reward will be issued for each type of research. Whichever team researches it first will get the reward.

The other teams will probably only pay a symbolic amount of hard work, or even nothing at all.

The competition pressure is quite high. Banbu wandered around and found that there were more than a dozen teams studying the cleaning robot alone. Each team was mostly composed of two or three insect warriors, with a maximum of no more than five.

After all, it is a high-end job that requires mental labor. Although their movements are restricted, there is nothing to say in terms of living treatment.

Two meals a day, morning and evening, are carefully selected and boneless, fat and delicious beast meat.

Each meal comes with a bottle of genetic fluid and a sufficient amount of ordinary Origin Power food.

Every three days, a D-grade high-end Origin Power food will also be provided free of charge.

… …

The latest novel is first published on Six-9 Book Bar!

Team member Princess Maple Yang has a very standard scientific research spirit, always silently focusing on "experiments", forgetting to eat and sleep, and often forgetting to eat, so Princess Jinqiu has to bring it over for her.

On the other hand, the insects in other laboratories always like to visit each other, seemingly greeting and chatting to get acquainted, but secretly trying to pry into news from other research groups, hoping to steal some ready-made research results back.

Generally speaking, the insects are impetuous, have too many small minds, and always want to take shortcuts.

There are very few who can really calm down and do research. For such insects, Banbu secretly admires them.

Being idle and bored, he lay down and watched. After watching for two days, he found that Princess Maple Yang was just clueless and just messing around.

The admiration in his heart disappeared without a trace, replaced by sympathy: Silly child, you will never have any substantial results with such headless attempts!

Not interested in watching more.

A cold wind passed by, the sun outside was good, and when he was bored, he climbed to the top of the wreckage to bask in the sun.

He was taken care of with food, drink, and accommodation, and there were thousands of Saber Mantis warriors standing guard and saluting around him. This life was more comfortable than at Lizhu Peak.

… …

Night.

After eating dinner in the cafeteria, he went out for a walk to promote digestion, and leisurely returned to the laboratory.

“Lord Banbu, I have something to discuss with you.”

Princess Jinqiu and Princess Maple Yang stood side by side, obviously waiting for Banbu to come back.

Banbu asked: "What's the matter?"

Princess Jinqiu said: "Lord Banbu, that, the Azure Spruce Mantis King came to me today and asked me how the research is progressing. What do you think?"

Banbu looked around at the metal materials piled up in the cabin, which were almost enough, and asked strangely: "Isn't the progress going well?"

“Smoothly?” Princess Maple Yang euphemistically said: “It’s not going well at all. I haven’t made any discoveries in the past ten days. You probably haven’t made any discoveries either, right?”

What discoveries are needed? Could it be that you want to figure out how to make a cleaning robot? Or do you want to understand the physical principle of Origin Crystal transmitting electrical energy?

Banbu was silent: Was he too leisurely? At least he had to look like he was doing something while taking the boxed lunch, right?

Princess Maple Yang lowered her spiritual sense and asked: "Lord Banbu, are you like those guys? That, just come here to get some Origin Power food? I heard that you are very rich, it shouldn't be, right?"

“……” Banbu was speechless. He was indeed regarded as a loafer.

Princess Maple Yang said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you're a loafer. This time, the Saber Mantis tribe made a fortune, earning tens of billions of Origin Stones. It's an unprecedented windfall. Most of the warriors who come here are to get some food and drink from them."

“However, let’s agree in advance that in our team, I will be responsible for the research. If there are results, I will take the large share of the rewarded Origin Power crystals.”

Princess Jinqiu immediately echoed: "That's right, although we are a team, we must also distribute according to work. Whoever contributes more will get more."

Are you sure that without me, you can produce a result?

“……” Banbu moved his antennae and said seriously: “That’s right, more work, more gain, very fair!”

Princess Jinqiu and Princess Maple Yang moved their antennae together, expressing their agreement.

Everyone reached an agreement.

Princess Jinqiu asked: "Lord Banbu, is there enough metal material?"

Banbu said: "There is still a shortage, not enough aluminum and iron."

“Then I’ll continue to get it.” Princess Jinqiu asked: "Lord Banbu, why don't you help too?"

Banbu said: "Princess Jinqiu, you are busy, I won't go, there is something more important."

Princess Maple Yang asked dissatisfied: "What else is important?"

Princess Jinqiu was also dissatisfied: He was obviously trying to be lazy, right?
