Chapter 565: Silicon-based Life, Fleeting Simulation

After a long time opening the simulator, Zhang Jie without hesitation chose to simulate.

Yo, you finally got down to business; I thought you'd stay forever in the gentle countryside.

Tch, what talk—if it weren't for Ha Ji Ran running away, who would want to simulate?

Then this time I'll give you a free simulation psychological counseling service?

Deal!

Zhang Jie agreed so readily—if there's a bargain not taken, you're a bastard!

Then let's start....

The simulator started up, the race wheel reappeared, Zhang Jie pondered a moment, and turned the wheel.

The pointer slowly stopped at 'Silicon-based Life'....

At the same time elsewhere, Ha Ji Ran was currently doing a Ge You slump on the Second Alliance Battleship.

The past month... really wore her out; I'm afraid Lin Ran wouldn't dare go back for a week afterwards.

Narrow-minded man! She only provoked him a few sentences, yet he actually kept at her for a whole month!

Too bastard!

In the distant starry sky, an enormous unnameable entity was cooperating with the Alliance and the Deep Space Knight, battling the mechanical fleet ahead.

To eliminate disasters, the Alliance now doesn't have to stubbornly chase the blood disaster; instead, it sees one and bites one!

Killing disasters allows the Deep Space Knight to gain new recruits, while the Alliance can obtain the disaster's remains, especially those of the mechanical beings, which are most valuable.

Every battle makes the Alliance stronger! It's like a stacking trait in a game, and this feeling makes Lin Ran quite addicted.

After all, she's a woman who can break the gene lock to several hundred layers!

Now, the Alliance's influence has increased once again, gaining several more high-combat-power individual units, which makes Lin Ran feel safe.

Oh? The gene lock broke another layer.

Hey, old Zhang, old Zhang, don't be arrogant.

Lin Ran hehehe laughed foolishly, and just then a scorching, dazzling blue light flashed, instantly shattering the unnameable entity in deep space before her.

Lin Ran:!!!

Someone attacked them?

What? Who dares have such doggish gall?

The opponent's target was precisely the blue gem with the highest threat coefficient; it seems they observed for who knows how long, just waiting for the blue gem's attack to be launched.

The intention is already obvious: to exterminate the Alliance's high-combat-power individual units.

But did they get something wrong? Is that blue gem even a proper thing?

Don't look at this little thing being cute and tiny; frankly, even the most inhuman insectoid Deep Space Knight is closer to humanity than she is....

This strike might just be feeding the blue gem a meal, huh?

Sure enough, as Lin Ran expected, the shattered unnameable entity returned to its original form in just a few seconds, and then that black mass seemed to have found a target, lunging fiercely toward where the light was emitted.

A second beam of light followed, striking the body of the Number Two Battleship, causing the bone-plate alloy to emit a crisp crack.

But don't forget, this second warship has practiced martial arts!

With the flow of golden gilded blood, the bone-plate alloy was quickly repaired, while each organ main cannon began charging, spewing forth golden light that was thicker, longer, and longer-lasting than the opponent's.

The situation began to become extremely chaotic: disasters, the Alliance, and that unknown civilization that launched the first attack—each had its own business to attend to.

But.... Lin Ran isn't afraid; looking at the opponent's attack methods, she already guessed who it was—the Ocean Civilization Fei'erge that had just suffered a crushing defeat and returned not long ago.

Previously, the Alliance's Number Two Battleship, as the vanguard, slaughtered the enemy's entire main fleet, leaving not a scrap of armor.

And now, the enemy's counterattack happens to prove this, showing why they chose to attack the Alliance's Number Two Battleship.

However, their means aren't particularly clever; their fleet originally lacked the ability to kill high-combat-power individual units, and that beam of light appears not to have even scratched the Alliance's outer hull.

Really giving them doggish gall.

Lin Ran sneered, Zhang Jie being able to ride on her head doesn't mean others can too.

All Alliance departments in position!!!

Together with the Deep Space Knight, launch a counterattack!!!

Meanwhile, old Zhang, the simulation fleeting.

This time it's a standard ordinary life; as a silicon-based life, that is a 'Stone Person', Zhang Jie's whole life has been struggling for his bodily components.

In that world, the 'Silicon Crystal Person' and the 'Stone Person' are completely different species.

The former possesses extremely high intelligence, agile body, decent appearance, and compared to the crude, low-intelligence Stone Person, they seem like two civilizations.

Just as high caste suppresses low caste, the oppression and humiliation of the Silicon Crystal Person upon the Stone Person is unimaginable.

Zhang Jie lived his whole life in that oppressive environment, lacking good life talent or good opportunities; his whole life was devoted to contributing a bit of high-purity silicon.

"Simulation ended: As a pitiful Stone Person, you devoted your life to that damned silicon crystal—this totally isn't worth it, yet you still chose to rise up! Successfully becoming the first bird shot dead by a hail of gunfire."

"Simulation rating: D"

"I can go to hell!"

Zhang Jie cursed, and the simulator's perfectly simulated psychological counseling instantly calmed him, his heart like still water, desireless and seekless.

"This service of yours is really not bad; I'll buy it every time from now on."

"Then I'll have to raise the price."

Zhang Jie was speechless—how dare this thing put on airs!

"Well.... Silicon Crystal Person, this era does have such a species, but there's no civilization like I remember."

The gap between Silicon Crystal Person and Stone Person is outrageously huge, completely not like the same species, like comparing the most advanced game array to the worst game hardware.

Stone Person—no, should say Silicon Stone Person—this pitiful race, using the entirety of its strength, forged the first Silicon Crystal Person in civilization, hoping this new era's darling could lead them toward a bright future.

But who would have thought, these evolutions, these preferential treatments, became the silicon crystal people's trump card for maintaining monopoly.

However, the outcome was good; he, Zhang Jie, fired the first shot of the counterattack, and the silicon stone people are no longer a race to be slaughtered at will.

Zhang Jie had intended to continue checking the rewards, but Ha Jiran's call woke him up.

"Lin Ran? Could this girl be trying to provoke me again?"

Zhang Jie thought, then answered the call.

(Ha Jiran ran away? No, actually the ginseng ran away, haha! Otherwise the ginseng would have turned into dried ginseng!)

(The outline for the next simulation has also been decided! Next up is the simulation preview!)

(A civilization that had just ushered in the interstellar age should have entered a glorious interstellar age of exploration, but it had made no contact with any civilization.)

(Even worse, the entire civilization was trapped in place by an unknown natural disaster; this disaster is a newly emerged type, completely different from the four great natural disasters recorded, and people call them: aberrant variants.)

(And Zhang Jie's story began with a kind act of taking in, but what he didn't know was that what he took in was an extremely terrifying 'demon' that frightened countless people and investigators.)

(The following is a combined chapter..... failed to upload before 12 o'clock.)

"What the heck! You went all the way to their doorstep!"

Zhang Jie still thought Ha Jiran had come to provoke him, but he didn't expect she pulled off a big stunt!

Alliance big shot: How did you end up at their doorstep!

Lin Bu Ran: I don't know either! We hit him, he ran; we chased, and chasing we ended up at their doorstep.

Alliance big shot:.....

Alliance big shot: Bu'er, didn't you think it was a trap?

Lin Bu Ran: Of course! I certainly knew it was a trap!

Lin Bu Ran: Cough, but that so-called trap has already been flashed by the sapphire.

Lin Bu Ran: What I mean is, get ready, come over to collect the spoils and such.

Zhang Jie covered his face, resigned to this guy; with this, the enemy launching a full-scale war is practically a foregone conclusion, but then again, who can guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Better to settle this hidden danger for him early and be done with it.

Alliance big shot: Okay, I'll get ready now.

Zhang Jie called Xiao Jiu and her two close friends back with a phone call; I have to say, this little ship girl really has no filter—since she stopped pretending to be a maid, she's just let herself go.

This time she went out and wandered for two months before coming back—she really has a big heart.

After quickly tallying the simulator's rewards, Zhang Jie told Yuan, randomly picked a ship, and jumped straight to Lin Ran's coordinates.

Nowadays, the universe is constantly undergoing drastic changes; the destruction of civilizations has long become commonplace, and moreover, this world lacks anything resembling an interstellar law enforcement organization.

In passing, Zhang Jie contacted Yu Xiaomo and began preparing to add fuel to the long-unfilled heat pool.

"Yu Xiaomo? Give me the planetary coordinates of the oceanic civilization Fei'erge."

"Ah? Oh, be careful...."

Yu Xiaomo sent over several coordinates, all of which are star systems colonized by the other civilization.

However, he didn't intend to go there directly; instead, he focused on a nearby O-type star.

This counts as his first battle; the emergence of Original Cognition at least gives him the power to destroy a planet single-handedly, though he still needs to check its exact power.

His main output still relies on Crimson Tempered Vajra, with Yunxiao's nanomachines and intelligent machinery technology boosting him, making him terrifyingly strong!

"Okay, stop for a moment, let me down from here."

"Oh! Okay!"

The conscripted biological warship stammered, watching Zhang Jie disembark from the ship and charge toward the star.

After about three and a half hours, Zhang Jie's heat pool was full; continuously firing the fourth gear flamethrower for a whole month is no problem.

After all, heat is everywhere in the universe, so Zhang Jie doesn't worry at all about running out halfway.

Earlier, Zhang Jie had dispatched a bunch of transport warships to go recover what Lin Ran called the spoils; they must be arriving soon.

Now it's his turn! He quickly locked onto one of the transformed ocean planets and boarded the biological warship.

"Let's go!"

After several more hours, when a crimson mecha hovered outside the ocean planet, it almost scared the fish-headed monsters inside half to death.

"Who are you? Why are you standing in our star domain?"

"Please leave immediately, otherwise we will take forcible measures!"

Saying that, tens of thousands of sky-blue warships then flew out from the planet and confronted Zhang Jie.

"Hmph."

Zhang Jie, without a word, raised his crimson greatsword and went forward alone, intending to single-handedly take on the entire fleet!

"!!!"

The first warship didn't even have time to react before being split in two by the searing blade.

Damn it! Attack! Attack him!!!

In an instant, countless fleets sprang into action; countless close-defense cannons and orbital weapons began bombarding Zhang Jie, forming a dense net of blue energy beams, and Zhang Jie's Crimson Tempered Vajra was unfortunately struck in the shoulder.

"Tsk, this thing is quite troublesome!"

His mecha isn't an Alliance warship where taking a hit is no big deal; although these guys lack powerful individual units, their fleet numbers are top-notch.

But... so what? Don't forget Zhang Jie's life talent effect! Crimson Tempered Vajra, like his body, repairs itself with heat.

Moreover, there's Yunxiao's nanomachines—doesn't that let the mecha self-repair as if it were alive?

In terms of prolonged combat, Zhang Jie has never feared anyone; fierce battles erupt continuously, the crimson mecha constantly weaves between the fleet and fire, close-orbital weapons are constantly destroyed, and the fleet's numbers keep dwindling.

The planet's Supreme Commander, constantly seeking support, only then realized that an extremely important fleet of his had been taken by the Alliance, and even one of his own colonized stars had been occupied by the enemy.

In the short term, it's basically impossible for anyone to support them.

And all the ships on the planet are about to be wiped out by this red mecha before their eyes!

The commander gritted his teeth, he damn hates high-level single-body combat units!

Although they are a genetic technology system, their bodies are frail and their brain capacity is not high enough, so they have poured all their technology points into this over the years, resulting in their abnormal lack of powerful individual units.

After encountering the Alliance, seeing their technology system so perfect, greed and jealousy arose, leading to what happened later.

Such a result is not hard to imagine, after all these fish-head people's brains really don't work well, otherwise they wouldn't have kept developing brain capacity.

As the last warship was shattered by the crimson giant warship, the world finally fell silent.

Debris from warships floated everywhere around; Zhang Jie took a close look and realized this was also a half-biological, half-mechanical warship.

Unfortunately, they will never possess the technology of Ship Life.

Zhang Jie gazed at the quiet universe, as if waiting for something.

After a while, a transmission came from the planet.

"We surrender...."

Zhang Jie did not choose to simply blow up this planet; in his view, this planet is the most valuable thing.

They have colonized these several planets for many years, so they must have a lot of infrastructure.

There's no need to feel sympathy for these guys; they are aggressors, who have clashed with the Alliance countless times in the past, and their wicked hearts never die.

Now is the time to eradicate this tumor; Zhang Jie sent a communication to Lin Ran to take over, without stopping, rushing toward the next planet.
