I Am The Swarm

Time passed, and the wormhole opened twice more. However, Luo Wen no longer had the interest to watch the monster versus Mecha Warrior battles. His attention was fully consumed by the metal shell.

Through continuous experimentation, his understanding of toxin production had advanced rapidly. The latest toxins he developed corroded at three times the speed of his initial attempts. Over three years, he had managed to erode more than fifty meters of the metal shell. However, it was still a far cry from fully penetrating it.

Using various methods, Luo Wen measured the thickness of the metal shell and was astonished to find it exceeded 500 kilometers. At his current rate, it would take more than 30,000 years to breach.

Such a timeline was clearly unacceptable.

Thus, Luo Wen began exploring alternative methods. Unfortunately, calculations and tests revealed that the material of the metal shell had excellent resistance to both kinetic impacts and energy weapons.

Additionally, underground conditions made these weapons less effective—particularly electromagnetic railguns, whose destructive power was reduced by at least 50% within a planetary interior.

Left with no choice, Luo Wen turned his attention to developing more powerful or specialized weapons. The most promising avenue lay in negative energy, a field he had only recently begun to explore.

In the universe, all visible matter falls under the category of positive energy. These materials are diverse and varied in nature. Similarly, negative energy is a general term encompassing certain types of substances, which also have different classifications.

After deciphering the genetic blueprint for the negative energy production organ, Luo Wen assembled a team of intelligent entities to conduct research.
