Calling it a groundbreaking achievement is not an exaggeration at all.
Even these researchers, when they first arrived and began their studies, never expected that such a tiny creature would yield such a major breakthrough!
The core lies in that special form of energy—never before discovered, yet brimming with immense potential!
"The key is this kind of energy!" This Civilization Level researcher emphasized the point once more. "We've conducted experiments; although it's possible to artificially breed these creatures and extract the energy, it only works to some extent when reproducing in large, intelligent organisms."
They conducted multiple sets of experiments—on insects, fish, small mammals, large mammals...
In the end, they found that only on primates could successful reproduction occur.
But even then, what was bred was only a "defective form."
It possessed energy-related organs, but their numbers were clearly insufficient.
This bug shows the most powerful aggression toward intelligent beings of relatively large size.
This creates certain challenges for cultivation, and for now, they haven't found any other way to artificially synthesize those energy organs.
"I fully understand the wartime value of this creature and what is required to realize that value. All of you continue your research; your funding will be upgraded to A1 Level." The Goddess of Hope issued this response.
Immediately after, the interstellar world Shen Yu, who was waiting elsewhere in the research facility for results, received a communication from the Goddess of Hope as well.
"The researchers have confirmed the wartime value of the eye worm, provisionally categorized as A1 class."
"A1 class?" Interstellar world Shen Yu was shaken.
This level means that this single project alone could produce at least five Civilization Level researchers!
He'd thought that a creature capable of launching psychic attacks would be useful, but he never imagined it would be this useful!
"The most efficient reproduction plan for the eye worm would violate the highest laws of civilization. Although there is a lower-rank alternative plan, time is tight, and we urgently need a large number of eye worms. Therefore, I retract my previous evaluation: the multi-dimension doomsday civilization ally you currently found holds exceptionally high alliance value." The Goddess of Hope quite obviously upgraded her evaluation of the civilization original Shen Yu resided in.
Interstellar world Shen Yu still didn't know exactly what had happened, but this was clearly a good thing!
However, a huge quantity of eye worms?
"Maybe I didn't mention it earlier, but cross-world transportation of living bodies requires a tremendous price," interstellar world Shen Yu said, a bit concerned.
At present, the amount of Gray Mist consumed to transport live eye worms hadn't yet been fully quantified.
But if it was a mass transport of living eye worms, the cost would definitely be significant.
"No need for living specimens." The Goddess of Hope directly sent an image. "What we need is this organ inside the eye worm."
"No need for living specimens?" Interstellar world Shen Yu was overjoyed.
That made it a whole different story!
"This is only a temporary need; we'll accelerate execution of the lower-rank alternative plan. This collaboration aligns with both civilizations' interests." The Goddess of Hope added, "I've developed targeted weapons for the eye worm, which are now being produced on a small scale. In approximately two hours and thirty-two minutes, you can take the first batch of experimental weapons. The preliminary cooperation plan and suggestions have already been provided."
The characteristics of this eye worm were obvious, but the drawbacks were equally apparent.
To design targeted weapons didn't even require an expert.
The Goddess of Hope alone could quickly handle it all.
And for interstellar world Shen Yu, this was absolutely the best news.
Cooperation between the two worlds was finally about to deliver initial results!
"Good!" He was full of anticipation.
More than two hours quickly passed by.
When interstellar world Shen Yu brought a specially made container and arrived in the Gray Mist Space, it had only been a little over eight hours since Shen Yu first delivered the eye worms.
So much so that Shen Yu himself was astonished when he received the news.
"It's settled already?" He also appeared in the Gray Mist Space.
"It's only an initial cooperation plan," interstellar world Shen Yu replied with a smile.
Strangely enough, the passage of time in different worlds should, logically, be different.
For original Shen Yu, it had only been eight years since he obtained the Gray Mist Space and split his soul.
But Martial Artist Shen Yu had traversed for twenty-six years, and interstellar world Shen Yu for twenty years.
Yet from the very first test when they met, they'd found out the passage of time in all three worlds was perfectly synchronized!
But this, for now, wasn't something they had the means to look into in detail.
Shen Yu's eyes burned as he stared at the big container brought by interstellar world Shen Yu, eager to know exactly what had happened on the other side.
Interstellar world Shen Yu didn't hesitate; he directly tossed out the results.
"Our alliance has now received official recognition and support from my world's Civilization Management AI. Behind me is the first batch of support weapons, specially designed to counter the eye worm. Here is the detailed draft of the alliance proposal submitted by the AI; I have a certain amount of authority to revise it..."
As Shen Yu listened to interstellar world Shen Yu's account, he read over the content of the proposal, and couldn't help but be impressed.
Truly, this is what an AI is.
The efficiency is simply unmatched.
If humans alone were to handle everything, to achieve such high-level attention, research, plan formulation, and even design and manufacture specialized weaponry in such a short time—it would be virtually impossible.
But clearly, this was a positive development.
Right now, efficiency was life!
"In that case, you should come with me." Shen Yu said to interstellar world Shen Yu, eyes full of passion. "My world desperately needs a victory that will shake everyone to their core!"
In the past eight hours or so, Shen Yu had spent most of his time with Martial Artist Shen Yu.
Primarily, he was continuing to practice Martial Arts and studying the rules for sharing abilities between himself and his avatars.
But on his own world, he had Ji Mingshu reporting all critical information promptly.
It had now been a whole day since the disaster was officially made public.
In the beginning, people encouraged each other, filled with apparent confidence.
But as attention around the globe intensified, and all sorts of information and images flooded onto the internet, the panic was clearly escalating.
The zombie outbreak in West Country had already decimated the entire city. Just three hours ago, they resorted to unconventional weapons, but even so, a large number of zombies broke through the city and, braving shockwaves and radiation, spread in all directions.
Meanwhile, equally horrifying images began appearing where the eye worms were spreading.
People were falling in droves like dumplings from tall buildings; there were those with blank expressions, committing suicide without hesitation—this scene was even more horrifying than the zombies!
Especially now that news of the eye worm's spread within the country had already gone public!
