Monsters Are Coming

Eclipse City, Matrix Laboratory.

The floating giant beast's carcass is cut apart, suspended in the laboratory's energy field.

In the center of the room, the holographic projection screen continuously rolls data streams, displaying a deep decomposition of the floating giant beast's body structure.

A piece of gelatinous material taken from the beast is placed on the test bench, and the nano-scale probe slowly pierces the sample surface.

A set of data suddenly jumps onto the holographic screen.

It shows the autonomous absorption efficiency of the gelatinous material upon contact with pure energy, with the light screen automatically displaying a dotted image of energy conduction.

Through the chain reaction on this map, one can intuitively see the ripple of energy spreading across the gelatinous surface.

The numbers presented causes the three Moon Eclipse Clan governors present to look grave.

"Continue testing," the leading Governor No. 1 said at this time.

Another sample taken from the beast's exoskeleton is sent into the test cabin, the particle beam bombards the sample surface, and the energy indicators update rapidly.

This test assesses the energy endurance value and compressive strength value.

The data shows that the skeletal material's destruction energy cancellation rate far surpasses any known spiritual material on Earth.

As one test after another unfolds, the answers obtained leave the Moon Eclipse Clan governors in silence.

It's basically certain that the appearance of the floating giant beast seems more like a probing attack.

The purpose is to understand Earth's power situation.

This behavior is not friendly; essentially, it is also preparing for invasion.

The reason is simple: the power on the other side of the space rift cannot judge Earth's power situation before the invasion begins, fearing encountering a civilization power that cannot be countered.

This is a standard race, with inevitable preparations before invasion.

After all, like the Horror Black Tide and Combat Insect Clan, those that ignore the strength and weakness of the invaded world and act directly are extremely few.

Probing is the most correct choice before invasion.

Essentially, this is like a carefully designed "pressure test," primarily collecting combat power information.

It's like an engineer testing the limit performance of a new machine, gradually increasing the load and observing its reaction. The rıghtful source is novel✶fire.net

As long as it is clear that Earth's battle power will not pose a threat, or it is clear that their side can win, a destructive invasion will be launched.

The floating giant beast is like a stone thrown to test the waters.

Through its performance, Earth's initial combat power condition is calculated, and then precise strategy for subsequent actions are formulated.

Before fully understanding Earth's condition, the other side obviously will not easily expose all its strength, let alone rashly engage in full-on war.

Thus, the floating giant beast is merely the first step in this war game; the real contest is perhaps just beginning.

And the Matrix Laboratory's material testing is also a preliminary investigation by the Moon Eclipse Clan of potential invasion powers.

It attempts to voyeuristically explore the civilization's technological level and system development direction on a microscopic scale.

The strength trait of the materials can also reflect a civilization's resource utilization ability.

For instance, the gelatinous material from the floating giant beast reveals energy absorption efficiency and energy reflectance, directly reflecting the civilization's technological height in energy conversion utilization.

Furthermore, the compressive strength and heat conductivity of the floating giant beast's exoskeleton can also showcase the civilization's material application capability in extreme environments.

The material's ability to maintain stability and efficiently conduct energy under high-energy particle beam bombardment proves the other side's strong war potential.

These abilities directly reflect a civilization's degree of industrialization and technological accumulation.

Preliminary decomposition can judge that the other civilization should follow a biotechnology route, rather than traditional mechanical or pure energy technology.

This model is somewhat similar to the Combat Insect Clan.

But obviously not comparable to the Combat Insect Clan.

The progress of the Combat Insect Clan's biotechnology is entirely intuitive adaptation.

This evolution doesn't adhere to a logical chain of technological development.

For instance, technology from discovery to maturity requires multiple steps.

Each stage requires investing substantial time, resources, and knowledge accumulation; it's a gradual process.

It cannot skip intermediate stages to directly reach the final form.

Yet, the Insect Race's pheromone collection growth starts from the final form.

Analogous to the Skyfire Dharma King's clan developing the Skyfire Rune Technology for over a millennium, the Insect Race's adaptation completely skips the starting phase, directly entering the ultimate phase of damage immunity progression.

After dozens of rounds of testing, the three-dimensional image of the floating giant beast projects in the room center, slowly rotating.

Various indicator data floats around the floating giant beast in light screen form.

According to the test results, the floating giant beast is generated from a species formed by the integration of basic organisms.

A bit similar to the Player Faction's vehicle system.

By combining different modules, a vehicle system is formed.

The test results make the Moon Eclipse Clan governors present somewhat nervous.

The data shows the materials on the floating giant beast are 1-3 times stronger in all respects compared to spiritual resources produced on Earth.

The sprayed corrosive mucilage is difficult to be resisted by any existing materials.

It can easily penetrate various spiritual materials; for instance, a combat robot dissolves completely within moments of contact with the mucilage, and even the energy barrier cannot fully block its corrosion.

Governor No. 1 calls upon the war statistics data image at this time.

In the battle against the floating giant beast, three marine war platforms were destroyed.

Platform A: Completely destroyed, main structure dissolved by corrosive mucilage, core energy device explosion, causing severe environmental pollution in surrounding sea areas.
