I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1385 - 985: Meteorite... Resistance? (Part 2)
The mosquito drone made by Lilith collected some of their blood and conducted an analysis.
"Boss, they are completely different from normal humans."
People from different worlds may have differences in physique, but overall, these differences are not significant.
However, in this world, humans only appear human in appearance, unless you use skull identification to differentiate humans.
Internally, their genes have undergone complex mutations, which is why they have a high probability of heterochromia and a rich variety of hair colors.
Later, Senluo, through the natural phenomena and communication with nature, found the location of other meteorites.
It’s a massive crater over forty kilometers in size. After Lilith conducted an analysis, the released artificial satellites surveyed the surrounding environment. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The previously calculated formulas were recalibrated, indicating that the destructive extent of the recent meteorite had calculation errors.
Even without interception, the destruction caused by that meteorite to the planet wouldn’t exceed 7%... As for smaller meteorites, their destruction can be completely ignored.
Some meteorites don’t even have the qualification to touch the ground.
"This world should have a unique ’meteorite resistance’." Lilith said seriously, as if it was some magical thing.
"Did it evolve autonomously after being hit too many times?" Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He could understand resistance to blade and spear, as that can be developed through practice with techniques like the golden bell shield and Clothes of Iron Technique.
Meteorite resistance of a planet... are you kidding?
"Maybe." Lilith didn’t respond to Zheng Yichen’s question, suggesting that in such a vast world, there would be oddities.
According to Lilith’s analysis, the meteorite before them is at least over four hundred years old.
There are no pitted marks on the meteorite, but it has numerous traces of erosion.
When Zheng Yichen approached, he could also perceive a certain radiation of power.
"These aren’t weathering marks, but slow dissolution marks. This meteorite will slowly dissolve under rain erosion."
Lilith said after touching the meteorite with her hand.
"You could probably make tea with it."
The small white dragon lying on Zheng Yichen’s back couldn’t help but roll its eyes: "Fosterer, you really dare to say anything."
"Let’s try it." Zheng Yichen wasn’t polite to the meteorite. He took out a metal cup, scraped off some stone powder, and put it in the cup.
Beside him, Lilith considerately helped to generate a stream of water, the water flow in the metal cup quickly rotated, the stone powder inside initially remained firm, but soon shrank and dissolved into the water.
To see it, one would probably need a microscope.
Zheng Yichen tasted the water: "It tastes like drinking chili oil."
He, with his good physique, didn’t hesitate to evaluate it since he has the passive ability of feeding enhancement.
This ability isn’t used much now, but he once even chewed on Sky Pillar crystals. Meteorite-infused water is no big deal.
It also provided an opportunity to experience its effects.
The taste of chili oil sped up blood circulation, acting like some powerful stimulant.
Zheng Yichen slightly grinned, clenched his fist, muscles on his arm bulged, and blood vessels were squeezed out by tensed muscles, with the high-speed flowing blood causing the vessels to faintly throb.
"It seems like it can make people go on a rampage."
Currently, Zheng Yichen somewhat felt an urge to let out a couple of howls.
"That should be a substance related to bodily mutation. After dissolving, it would merge into the planet’s water cycle, causing all life forms to be affected."
Lilith documented this characteristic; even when Zheng Yichen drank a small amount of meteorite-infused water, though diluted to one-thousandth, most creatures in this world wouldn’t handle it.
Yet to Zheng Yichen, it merely served as a refreshment.
"Not bad, take a piece." Zheng Yichen was quite unceremonious, thinking since they came all this way, why not take a piece and leave; taking them all would not be very considerate given the world’s nature.
Remarkably, this world truly had a plethora of meteorites; without thoroughly searching, they found over a dozen big ones.
On their way finding them, Lilith also captured some small meteorites, which burned up right before hitting the ground.
However, while burning up, they slightly added new elements to the planet.
This world’s primary planet is like a jar for fostering Gu, randomly thrown with things from time to time.
The remaining meteorites all possess radiations that induce biological mutations.
The influence to the ecosystem is global, and in such an environment with still humans around, the only explanation would be the strong genetic adaptability of this world’s human race, preventing extinction...
"It’s fortunate it’s us here, if it were ordinary people, they might mysteriously drop dead while playing on the beach, right?" Zheng Yichen said with a sense of relief.
Having good health certainly has benefits.
Arriving in a new environment doesn’t raise concerns over dying from some bizarre environmental factors.
"That’s how it is, sorry, it was my oversight."
Lilith opened with an apology, as her boss was too powerful, making her overlook environmental detection, considering Zheng Yichen’s current capability of thriving even if tossed onto Mars.
He had experienced the outer realm of the world, surviving even in such harsh conditions. With the world environment being sufficiently advanced, sending him to the sun would still be manageable. It might be uncomfortable, but death wouldn’t be a concern.
"I want to leave a mark in this world, it’s too rare." Zheng Yichen rubbed his hands together, as they discovered these meteorites along the way, which were all novel products.
In Zheng Yichen’s view, this world’s like a ’raw ore simulator’, every meteorite equivalently becoming a new raw ore, unlike what’s found in other worlds.
He looked towards Senluo: "Do you have any thoughts?"
"I’m considering." Senluo grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, explaining her reasoning: "The soil equates to usable, high-quality genes."
High-quality genes would optimize the environment of her native world, which isn’t considered human body modification. As long as there’s no messing around, gene collapse won’t occur.
The peculiarity of this world made her hesitate; while the traits the soil carries wouldn’t be as significant, owning this world’s characteristics meant her native world might exhibit similar scenarios.
The frequency wouldn’t be as high as in the soil’s origin world, but occasionally something might drop down as well.
If it were just meteorites, she wouldn’t hesitate; meteorites can be intercepted easily by the World Tree, unless what falls isn’t a meteorite but a star.
The major issue is these meteorites are abnormal, each with radiation, volatility, causing biological mutations.
This world’s ecosystem has adapted to these extraterrestrial visitors so well that adding something doesn’t seem to induce significant effects.
However, for worlds never experiencing such, the impact of a single meteorite might lead to mass biological extinction.
Of course, there could also be positive changes, but that’s down to chance.
"Then help me collect a batch." While Senluo hesitated, Zheng Yichen didn’t have such reservations: "The soil can be preserved long enough, right?"
"As long as it’s not consumed, it can be preserved almost indefinitely." Senluo said, "Soil represents the environment’s inherent part, equivalent to extracting a few genes for humans."
After speaking, she began to search for a suitable environment.
There are numerous methods to obtain soil, and she’s still inclined to find a suitable tree.
This approach serves as mutual assistance, allowing her to gain what she wished while enabling this world to acquire a plant akin to the World Tree, adjusting and nurturing the planet’s environment.
In the process of collecting soil, Senluo also made up her mind - she wanted to bring a batch of soil back to her native world.
Since the soil’s shelf life is considerably long, taking it back doesn’t require immediate use. The decision lies not with her but with the World Tree. Even if the World Tree doesn’t need it, it can be handed over to Zheng Yichen.
There isn’t much soil, only 20 grams, yet this portion of soil encompasses the environmental essence of this world. With the World Tree’s power, one can attempt enhancing the world’s genetic strength.
