The First Evolution

The purpose of entering this step was simple: For a genius like Fang Linyan, he was not used to the operating parameters of ordinary people.

Just like the mouse movement speed of e-sports professional players was mostly set to MAX. Ordinary players were out of the match.

After the self-test program was completed, Fang Linyan reset it to his own operating parameters. There were also 3 SCI pilots next to him. They were originally unconvinced, but Fang Linyan’s settings really blinded their kryptonite-gold eyes… Each of them looked serious.

After the self-test program was completed, Fang Linyan controlled the SCI with ease. He effortlessly picked up the heavy titanium steel alloy external armor and built according to the blueprint. Soon, the dazzling light of argon arc welding started to shine.

Of course, there were quite a lot of people watching his show, but Fang Linyan remained calm and unhurried. The skills he displayed were impeccable.

How impeccable? It turned out that military welding was a skilled job. It seemed simple, but it demanded pretty high skills of the technicians. In order to ensure the solidity of the bunkers, Fang Linyan used a unique welding technique on Earth.

First, the separated steel plates were polished, then the edge of each weld was cut into a “wavy groove” with a 10-degree angle.

In this case, when welding thick steel plates, the groove could allow the welding rod to penetrate into the welding joint as much as possible, making the welding surfaces closely connected, and the welding was completed under the touch of the argon-fluorine welding gun. This operation might seem troublesome, but after welding, the sturdiness could be increased from 12% to 14%, which was already a considerable improvement.

Stassen watched Fang Linyan’s operation. Although his face was expressionless, he was more and more surprised, because the SCI welding skills displayed by Fang Linyan really proved his talent.

The 3 SCI pilots, who wanted to see him make a fool of himself, went back to work after knowing that he possessed solid skills.

After Stassen looked at Fang Linyan’s work for a while, he went to check the other people’s work. Then, he whispered a few positive words to Jason.

Jason nodded with satisfaction. Originally, he only hoped that Fang Linyan would not hold him back, but now he was a big surprise. This rookie turned into an important guy!

After working for 4 hours straight, Fang Linyan pressed the “standby” button, jumped off the SCI, and dragged over an energy tank to charge the big guy.

As the saying goes, the capable always works more. Needless to say, Fang Linyan had marginalized the original team leader in this group. He started to rest, and the rest of the group must stop as well.

Goat and Vulture, who were helping him, also let out a long sigh of relief. They were also quite tired at this time.

During this short rest time, the trio had 15 minutes to eat and excrete.

After peeing, Fang Linyan came to the center of the camp, where a dining table had been set up with typical military-style food.

Sandwiches, salads, chunks of roasted Dusseldorf pork knuckle, and a steaming vat of borscht.

Fang Linyan and the other three took a dinner plate and gobbled down the food. At this moment, he heard a series of rhythmic gunshots not far away, shocking his mind.

5 minutes later, Jason and his men dragged a ferocious monster back to the camp. Many people immediately whispered to each other, and some even exclaimed “thorn beast!”

Fang Linyan’s heart moved. So this is the native thorn beast that was introduced in the given information before?

In such a harsh swamp environment, there were many terrifying creatures. The largest number, and the one that appeared in groups, was a ferocious arthropod called the “thorn beast”.

Affected by the environment, the thorn beast was comparable to an alien cockroach. It had a very strong reproductive capacity. It was small, about half a meter long. It had a thick chitin carapace, which had high defense. Its color was purple or black. They could eat almost anything organic.

It looked like a mantis with 2 serrated mutant foot knives on its forearms. Its 6 long legs could provide amazing speed.

That wasn’t all. It also had 3 hearts, so it was extremely tenacious. Even if half of its body was blown off, it could still survive and be aggressive. They were nocturnal and good at ambushing in the dark, so they were particularly dangerous.

They were evolving in the direction of predators, so there had been many reports of them hurting people. Even established teams had died under the siege of thorn beasts.

There were also two reports of hungry thorn beasts sieging the military outpost established on Planet Moston.

Jason threw the dead thron beast to the assistant, then he saw Fang Linyan come over and asked seriously,

“How is your progress now?”

Fang Linyan said vaguely as he was chewing food,

“The SCI is being recharged, so our team comes over to eat. The progress is pretty good. We can finish it an hour and a half ahead of schedule.”

The officer let out a breath and said,

“This is one of the few good news I heard today. If you are done here, then help out the west side. We need to have 2 reliable armored bunkers before nightfall! Of course, it will be better if there are more!”

Fang Linyan said,

“YES，SIR。”

“Yes, Sir.”

His concise answering style obviously suited the officer’s taste. Jason nodded and said,

“Very good, I just like guys like you who have few problems and perform tasks neatly! I got your name on my list.”

After saying this, the officer left. Fang Linyan shrugged and felt a little grateful that he met Engineer Ivan.

It was this rude man who seemed to be drunk at all times reminded him several times that people in the army liked guys who talked less and did more. He really benefited a lot from this advice.

2 and a half hours later, the armored bunker built under the lead of Fang Linyan was accepted and received an A Evaluation. This evaluation would undoubtedly give them a good start.

Then, Fang Linyan followed Jason’s instructions and led the team directly to assist the others. With his help, the armored bunker at the west was built before night, and it also passed the inspection.

They were already tired and sleepy, but they received bad news. Squad Mato discovered traces of void ray activity nearby.

To be more specific, they brought back fresh void ray poop!

The captain of Squad Mato was not Mato, but Gillette. Mato was their former captain. He called for the retreat for the safety of the team and covered the retreat, but he died because of it.

In order to commemorate his heroic deed, the remaining mercenaries named it Squad Mato.

Fang Linyan looked at the thing in Gillette’s hand and said in disbelief,

“This… this thing is the fresh poop of the void ray?”

In the palm of Gillette’s hand, there was a round thing that looked like a white pearl, and it actually gave off a faint fragrance… It was hard to associate this thing with poop!

Gillette asked with a smile,

“Let me ask you, does it look like rabbit poop or goat poop?”

Fang Linyan nodded.

Gillette added,

“Have you ever seen white bird poop?”

Fang Linyan nodded again.

Gillette continued,

“Something like ambergris that smells so good is actually poop. You must know that, right?”

Fang Linyan opened his mouth and found it difficult to refute, so he could only say,

“Yes.”

Gillette said proudly,

“So, the thing in my hand is the same size and shape as rabbit poop, smells like sperm whale poop, and looks the same color as bird shit, so why it isn’t a poop?”

Faced with Gillette’s rebuttal, Fang Linyan was speechless.

Fortunately, Goat had already found the void ray’s information and shared it in the team channel with a solemn expression.

What was a void ray? It was a creature at the top of the food chain on Planet Moston. Although void rays were solitary, their danger was far higher than that of a group of thorn beasts!

These terrifying creatures were called atmospheric creatures. The mysterious source core in their bodies allowed them to swim freely in the air like fish in the water.

Their appearance was somewhat similar to manta rays, and their length could even reach more than 10 meters. They had a single eye in the middle of their body and had excellent eyesight. They were mammals.

TL: Why bring back the poop? Is it something worthy?
