Chapter 587: Chapter 271: Electric Drive, The Path to Tier Four, Hydrogen Bomb Obtained

"Even in a harsh environment like Ceres, the Spine Zerg Race didn’t rely on the most powerful Slaughter Realm as the sole path for their species’ survival."

"So, you should just stick to the proven path. With the dual enhancements to your Physique and Spirit, you can achieve your Tier Four promotion naturally when the time is right!"

After hearing Ling Yi’s explanation and advice, Lin Feng also understood the difficulty of a Tier Jump Kill.

Even if all four of his bound pieces of equipment were upgraded to level thirty-nine Golden Quality, it still wouldn’t be enough to stand against a Tier Four Life Form.

"I only need to be able to withstand the attacks of a Tier Four Life Form. As for killing them in return, that would only be possible if I get a chance to finish off a weakened one."

Lin Feng continued:

"If I let things progress naturally, about how long would it take for me to officially advance to Tier Four?"

Ling Yi shook its head.

"It’s uncertain. A Zerg Race Mother Empress, for instance, has a complete promotion sequence to follow step-by-step. Once all the conditions are met, it takes about a month to complete the transformation to the next level of life..."

"As for primitive, native species, it can take years, decades, or even hundreds or thousands of years."

"After all, a Tier Three Peak Life Form can have a maximum lifespan approaching ten thousand years. Of course, this also depends on its body size and the Star Realm it’s in."

"Humans were born in the Solar System. Throughout their lives, they will always bear the imprint of the Sun."

"However, although the Solar System is in a remote location, the environment within the Star System is exceptionally favorable. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a Cosmic Civilization like the Dragon Race to emerge."

"Your mother was the same. If she’d had a little more time to repair and compensate for the deficiencies in human Physique..."

"...she might have officially entered Tier Four and started humanity’s journey into space."

"As for you, who inherited her bloodline, you already have a partially paved evolutionary path. Even if you can’t complete the transformation in a single month, you should be able to achieve the promotion within three or four months."

Lin Feng nodded.

’Less than half a year. That’s acceptable.’

’If it really dragged on for years or decades, it would be another question entirely whether any human forces would even be left on Blue Star.’

’I might also end up being hunted by the entire Zerg Race, forced to leave Blue Star and wander aimlessly through the Cosmos.’

"Then let’s hurry. I’ll collect the Tier Three Cells as soon as possible. You should have Shen Jie’s sample, right?"

Lin Feng spoke as he saw Shen Jie and Liu Yi approaching the entrance of the main nest.

Ling Yi nodded.

"Currently, for the human genome Tier Three Cell samples, besides yours and Shen Jie’s, we need at least seven more to increase the conversion rate for the Electric Drive Cells sample to 10%."

"Integrating that into the Reproductive Armor Mecha will significantly boost its Physique performance, allowing us to better accomplish the goal of killing the Mid-stage Mother Empress."

Lin Feng grunted in acknowledgment.

"Alright, I’ll gather them as soon as I can. You should get back to your work. The surprise attack on Beihai Town begins at midnight."

After speaking, Lin Feng began to mentally run through a list of candidates for promotion to Tier Three.

’Aside from Qin Hu, there are Liu Yueqi and Liu Yi. That makes three. For the remaining four, Chen Yanyan from Jin City Base must be included.’

’After all, I still need her to command the Invincible Fleet.’

’As for the other three, I plan to prioritize front-line combat personnel first. After they advance, they can directly provide more combat power.’

’As for those in charge of logistics like Li Ran and Han Yuxin, as well as Princess Betty and the others... although they are my confidants, the combat power increase from them reaching Tier Three isn’t as significant.’

’I can only wait until a large number of King Spine Zergs appear and a Tier Three Late-stage Mother Empress is born. Then I can consider having them kill High-tier Zerg Race members to advance to Tier Three.’

Just then, Liu Yi and Shen Jie walked over, clearly having something to report.

Lin Feng reached out and touched the Level 31 Ion Laser Cannon, initiating a synchronized Upgrade. Only after a stream of Life Energy flowed into his body did he turn to face the two men.

Shen Jie had already stepped into Tier Three, and his strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Three Awakener. Furthermore, his Tier Two Gene Combat Team had all mastered Realm Power and entered the Peak stage...

As a result, the Genetic Combat Team’s strength had far surpassed the other Guard Battle Groups. Even though the number of members in Liu Yi’s Battle Group had expanded to over two hundred due to the promotion of many Warriors, most of them were only in the Early and Middle Stages of Tier Two. Their overall strength was still considerably inferior to the Genetic Combat Team.

The gap in their top-tier strength, in particular, was not small.

To maintain the balance between them and ensure the internal stability of the Salvation Army even when Lin Feng wasn’t present, it was necessary to get Liu Yi or Liu Yueqi to Tier Three as soon as possible. This would ensure the power balance between the two factions didn’t diverge too drastically in the short term.

Liu Yi stepped forward first and said:

"After the surface battle at Yunxia Ridge ended at noon, the Federation’s high command sent over two hundred tons of Fine Steel at 2 p.m., along with three 300-kiloton Small Hydrogen Bombs. Their power can instantly destroy all Tier One and Tier Two Life Forms within a ten-kilometer diameter."

"According to calculations from the Research Institute, within a one-kilometer diameter, they can even heavily wound or instantly kill a High-tier Mother Empress of the Zerg Race."

"As long as we can deliver the Nuclear Bomb to the Mother Empress’s side, we can annihilate the entire Zerg nest in an instant!"

After speaking, Liu Yi took out a detonator and a complex set of keys. The digital screen on the detonator was flickering with different numbers.

Handing the detonator and the case keys to Lin Feng, Liu Yi continued:

"This is the code to arm the Nuclear Bombs and the keys to open the black boxes containing the Hydrogen Bombs. Both steps must be completed in sequence to successfully detonate them. The explosion countdown can also be set manually."
