Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

In the dimly lit laboratory, the pitch-black stone monster left with the device.

Meanwhile, in space.

Inside the Millennium Falcon's laboratory, the AI was studying the remains of the captured crystalline monster.

Within the glass enclosure, the crystalline monster's remains were already undergoing a transformation.

[Captain, Captain, please come to the laboratory quickly! I've made an astonishing discovery!]

Chen Yu was in the training room, absorbing cosmic dark energy to recover the energy he had spent cutting the giant stone tablet.

"Oh! An astonishing discovery? Great, I'll be right there!"

Chen Yu was also excited; anything that the AI considered an astonishing discovery must be good!

Chen Yu rushed to the laboratory.

He saw dozens of robotic arms operating inside the isolated glass chamber.

"AI, what did you discover? Tell me quickly!"

[Captain, look at the experimental subject in the glass enclosure!]

Chen Yu approached the glass enclosure, which contained a cube-shaped crystal.

"What is this? How is it different from the crystal monster remains we brought back before?"

[Captain, according to my experiments, I used various pulse stimulations and 7th-level civilization quantum mechanics to apply special electrical pulse stimulation to these crystal remains, forming a set of stimulation codes for the elements that make up this crystal monster!]

"What does that mean? Explain it in simpler terms!"

[It means I've mastered a way to control these crystalline creatures, allowing their structure to change. This is a nearly perfect cube crystal that I created by using electrical pulse stimulation signals to combine these remains.]

"Does that mean we can deal with those things now?"

[We haven't experimented yet, but I suspect that each of the crystal monster's joint-like connections has an organization that emits special electrical pulses. They probably use radioactive elements to achieve pulse control, allowing these crystal structures to complete actions, transformations, and recombination.]

"Now that we've mastered this technology, if we emit control pulse signals that are stronger than their own, can we control them?"

[That's roughly what I mean, but I think the biggest discovery this time isn't controlling those crystal monsters. The biggest discovery is that this crystal is inorganic to us carbon-based lifeforms, no different from stone or metal. But with this technology, we can turn this stone-like crystal into part of a living organism.]

"What do you mean?"

[For example, if our robot army is equipped with a shell made of this crystal, it would be like a transforming mecha!]

Chen Yu's eyes lit up!

The AI was indeed a product of a 7th-level civilization, with terrifying research and development capabilities!

"But... the bodies of these crystal monsters aren't that hard, are they? If they're used to make mechs, can they withstand a lot of damage?"

[Captain, you don't have to worry about that at all. First of all, these crystals are exceptionally hard. As long as a special electrical pulse is transmitted to this material, it can activate the internal electronic arrangement structure of the crystal material, generating tremendous impact resistance, and even exhibiting the characteristics of different elemental substances.]

[Have you seen the X-Men movie on Earth? There's a mutant in it whose body can turn into anything his hand touches. For example, if his hand touches steel, his whole body can turn into steel; if his hand touches a wall, his whole body can turn into reinforced concrete like the wall.]

[Then this crystalline substance is like the most primitive material for 3D printing. To achieve the characteristics of a certain substance, you just need to infuse a specific electrical pulse signal. However, this substance only simulates the characteristics of that substance, but it is not that substance.]

"That's amazing! If this is installed on the robot army, they can directly transform into the hardest metal armor when they encounter danger! Great, this is worth studying!"

[Yes, that's why it's an amazing discovery. Once we research enough simulated electrical pulse signals and find a material that is both hard and self-repairing, it can be used as the outer shell of our frigates, attack ships, transport ships, and mining robots. If attacked or damaged, the outer shell will even self-repair! It can even be applied to the outer shell of our Millennium Falcon!]
