Chapter 1: The interstellar era!

In the vast starry sky, a desolate planet, white as the moon, rotates in solitude.

Looking up from this planet, one can see a brilliant, deep-blue planet radiating an incomparable gravitational pull.

The deep-blue planet is Neptune, and this desolate white planet is one of its moons, Triton.

Originally desolate, Triton is no longer so; thousands of years ago, it was designated as one of the garbage planets of the solar system—

specifically used for dumping household waste, various discarded machinery, electronic products, and the like generated by humanity.

The surface is covered in massive amounts of trash, and ships of all shapes and sizes fly back and forth above Triton.

"Creak, creak—"

Above a heap of trash filled with all sorts of refuse, a very small, miniature, dilapidated ship is making sounds of being overwhelmed, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

The ship has a white and blue color scheme, a round, bulbous hull, and a massive composite glass window that occupies almost the entire cockpit. Launchers hang beneath the wings on both sides, looking both endearingly cute and slightly dangerous.

At the ship's belly, a long, rusty mechanical arm is nimbly rummaging through the discarded star-shuttles and ships in the trash heap.

After searching for a while without finding what it wanted, a massive thruster at the rear of the ship emits an orange light, slowly pushing the ship away to head toward the next trash heap.

There are two small auxiliary thrusters on either side of the main thruster to maintain the ship's balance.

Suddenly!

The searching mechanical arm pauses abruptly, then begins to shove aside the surrounding waste at an even faster speed. Beneath the debris, the wreckage of a ship crushed by a super-heavy compressor appears before its eyes.

The claw at the end of the mechanical arm rotates, switching to a laser cutter.

A deep red laser, accompanied by a 'buzzing' electric current, struggles bit by bit to cut open the ship's wreckage.

After a full ten minutes or more, a palm-sized, disc-shaped, crystal-like object is extracted by the mechanical claw, emitting a dazzling color under the ship's lights.

The situation here is quickly discovered by a nearby ship, but before they can come over, the round, miniature ship shudders, its thruster flames pushed to the limit. Amidst a frantic 'creaking' sound, the little ship flees the area at high speed.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the little ship flies off Triton and enters outer space.

Inside the extremely cramped cockpit, which only seats one person, noisy cursing rings out incessantly.

"Damn it, Xu Zi'an, if you have the guts, don't come back, or I'll definitely smash you and your little fly to pieces!"

"Triton is the territory of my Batian Gang, don't you know the rules?"

"Run, keep running, don't let me see you again!"

……

Inside the cockpit.

A tall youth pays no mind to the angry cursing over the communicator.

He even presses the call button to curse back: "Shut your stinking mouth, you skinny dog. This trash planet Triton is full of useless junk; your Grandpa Xu isn't coming back next time anyway!"

After cursing, he cuts the connection, sets the ship's destination to Earth, and presses the button to engage the superluminal propulsion engine.

【Superluminal propulsion preparing...】

【10——】

【9——】

【……】

【Estimated arrival at Earth in 2 hours and 53 minutes!】

The moment the electronic female voice in the cockpit finishes, the miniature ship shudders violently. The scenery outside the composite glass begins to recede at an extreme speed, and the ship surges toward Earth.

Having set the autopilot and course, Xu Zi'an excitedly squeezes through the extremely narrow space to the back of the cockpit, opens the floor hatch, rummages around, and retrieves the crystal disc-like object.

"The Federal Light-Brain Technology Company's Seventh-Generation God-Calculator Star-Crystal Light-Brain!"

Xu Zi'an's eyes light up as he inspects it: "Slightly damaged, but repairable!"

"Value... about seven thousand cosmic coins!"

After estimating the price of the star-crystal light-brain once repaired, Xu Zi'an puts it away close to his body, feeling satisfied.

He checks the time; it's already around four in the morning, so he hurries to the pilot's seat to get some sleep.

But perhaps because he found a high-value piece of scrap, or perhaps because he is about to accumulate enough wealth points to awaken his biological energy.

Having scavenged on the trash planet all night, he finds himself unable to sleep for a moment.

In his mind, scenes from the past seventeen years involuntarily surface.

He is a transmigrator.

But he didn't take over anyone's body; he transmigrated directly into the womb.

The first seven years were fine, but when he was seven, the trade transport ship his parents were on was attacked by interstellar pirates, and since then, he has lived alone, struggling to survive in this era.

Fortunately, he has the memories of his past life, and by relying on federal aid and the money he earned from occasional odd jobs, he has managed to live quite stably until the age of seventeen.

The era he transmigrated into...

is already completely different from the Earth in his memory.

This is an interstellar era; Earth humanity has already integrated into the universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Interstellar travel, soaring through the cosmos, ships, and starships have long since become part of daily human life.

They are as common as the commuter cars in almost every household on Earth in the 21st century.

But what makes Xu Zi'an truly crazy about this interstellar era is its biological technology.

Immortality has become the ultimate pursuit of every human in the universe.

With genetic agents reaching their limit, and the average human lifespan only reaching 800 years, the emergence of biological warriors and biological starships has broken the shackles of life.

Every human has the potential to cultivate enough biological energy to awaken and become a biological warrior.

After becoming a biological warrior, one must bind to a ship or starship, turning it into their own biological starship.

Only by possessing a biological starship can the shackles of human life truly have a possibility of being broken.

By continuously evolving the biological starship, the biological energy fed back to the human can grant them a massive amount of lifespan, thereby...

leading to immortality.

To put it more simply.

Biological starships appear because of biological warriors.

Biological warriors achieve immortality because of biological starships!

Thinking of this, Xu Zi'an involuntarily opens the 【Strongest Captain】 system bound to his mind.

The 【Strongest Captain】 system is his biggest secret.

And it is the only possibility for him to awaken biological energy!
