Chapter 182: Restructuring (1)
Atmospheric organisms, with their extremely low density, truly became “clouds” upon death, slowly evaporating in the sky. Because they left no remains that would fall to the ground, such as fossils, there was no trace of their existence on other planets.
However, with the deployment of the Swarm’s version of atmospheric organisms, the Swarm now had units capable of regular interstellar navigation. Investigations of A7’s satellite clusters revealed signs of atmospheric organism activity on several satellites with discernible atmospheres.
Yet, because these planets had incomplete, extremely thin atmospheres unsuitable for atmospheric organisms, their populations were very sparse.
Simultaneously, the Swarm sent a large number of its atmospheric organisms to scout A7 itself, but they found no evidence of atmospheric organisms on the planet.
This was because A7’s atmosphere was constantly ravaged by high-energy storms, requiring atmospheric organisms to maintain their electromagnetic fields at all times to withstand the storms’ destructive forces.
Although A7’s atmosphere was rich in lightning and intense radiation, allowing for faster energy recharge, the rate of consumption still far exceeded replenishment.
If atmospheric organisms failed to leave A7 in time, they could survive at most ten days before running out of energy, losing their protective fields, and being torn apart by the storms.
Decades passed, and the Genesis Star System had become far busier. Between the Red Moon and Yellow Moon, small Swarm ships frequently shuttled back and forth. Larger ships also traveled between the system’s planets and satellites.
Through decades of research and with the assistance of the Intelligent Entities, Luo Wen upgraded the fungal carpet template. Using plant cells as a foundation and incorporating genes from deep-sea jellyfish, electric eels, and atmospheric organisms, he developed a highly efficient energy storage cell.
