219: Chapter 219 Human's Latest Organ: Fusion Pill

"By the way, where are you right now?"

"If you have time, come back to Earth and visit Mom!"

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi suddenly asked Jiang Haipeng.

She was the current commander of Sister Li and needed to go out at any time to execute missions, such as capturing energy debris from asteroids and so on.

Therefore, she spent her years sailing in space, only occasionally having holidays to visit the Lunar Base or return to Earth.

But Jiang Haipeng was different.

He was the sole commander of the ace avian formation and was extremely free.

So free that he could issue missions to himself.

Once, a Level 2 Lifeform powerhouse wanted to get their hands on Jiang Haipeng's intelligent avian creatures, so they used his free-roaming habits to criticize him. Jiang Haipeng immediately handed the entire avian formation over to them. Before the other party could even rejoice, they discovered that the avian creatures ignored them completely, refused to execute any missions, and even more terrifyingly, consumed energy resources worth up to 100 million every day. Who could afford that kind of loss?

They returned this flock of beasts to Jiang Haipeng overnight.

Consequently, within the entire Earth United Fleet, only Jiang Haipeng's avian formation could issue its own missions.

At this moment, Jiang Haipeng was sailing slowly in the airspace near Jupiter. Jupiter was the largest planet in the Solar System, and its rings were entirely made of gray dust, looking quite textured.

Near the rings, a massive avian formation was crossing the void.

One small black dot among them was Jiang Haipeng. His body had no protective shield whatsoever; he simply responded into a simple communicator, "Fine, I'll head back to Earth immediately."

"Oh right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

"The people from the Xinhuo Faction are planning to challenge your position as commander of Sister Li. You better be careful; if you can't handle them, I'll go deal with them!"

Jiang Haipeng warned.

The conflict of interests between the Xinhuo Faction and the Dragon Emblem Faction had been foreshadowed since the establishment of the Great Wall Scientific Research Station system. Now that humanity had entered the Solar System era, it was naturally even more intense.

Especially Qin Xueyao, who originally belonged under the jurisdiction of the Xinhuo Faction but had always leaned toward the Dragon Emblem Faction.

In consideration of her past contributions, no one dared to touch her commander position.

She eventually resigned only because her strength simply couldn't keep up.

But later, after many contests, the position of commander of Sister Li was taken by Qin Xueyao's daughter, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi.

As for Commander Jiang Qiuzhi, she was the type who had no interest in the Dragon Emblem or the Organization, essentially a moderate.

But recently.

The struggle for control over the Luan Bird had become increasingly intense.

Therefore.

Everyone started setting their sights on these moderates.

Either choose a side or leave.

After hearing Jiang Haipeng's warning, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi couldn't help but complain: "Those people are really bored out of their minds. Fighting and scrambling all day—can't they just sit down calmly and stab each other a couple of times? It's so annoying."

"That's human nature. As long as there are interests, there will be fighting... Unless they all become like me, on the verge of becoming a Level 3 Lifeform, perhaps they might let go of some obsessions."

Jiang Haipeng sat on the wing of a Black Eagle that was a mile long. Although the entire avian formation was traveling at a speed of Mach 50 at this moment, he sat very steadily, as if he were motionless.

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi smiled bitterly: "A Level 3 Lifeform... That's too difficult. Better to just fight for the immediate interests."

The two chatted for a few more moments before hanging up the communicator.

Jiang Haipeng put away the communicator and stood up. His entire body had no protective shield, and he didn't even make any movements to breathe oxygen.

Yes!

As a peak Level 2 Lifeform, not only had his skin reached a rocket-grade high-temperature resistance level, but his lung respiratory function had even atrophied.

The so-called lung respiratory function was mainly a way for humans to breathe oxygen, allowing the body to conduct various chemical reactions, convert energy, and maintain vital signs.

However, as Jiang Haipeng's life level increased, he no longer needed to breathe oxygen to convert energy. Within his own chest, a self-circulating chemical reaction organ had appeared. This organ could continuously produce oxygen, proteins, enzymes, electrolytes, and other elements required by the human body.

By relying solely on this organ, he could obtain energy and maintain his vital signs.

At this point, his lung function would naturally degenerate, fall off, and finally be expelled from the body as impurities...

Besides his lungs, his digestive functions, such as his intestines and stomach, were also correspondingly atrophying.

And this organ was called the Fusion Pill.

Its appearance was the most basic organ of a Level 2 Lifeform.

This was also why he didn't need any space-style protective shields or respiratory systems.

"Brothers, let's go, heading back to our old home!"

Jiang Haipeng called out to the avian creatures.

He was near Jupiter's rings this time specifically to eat a piece of debris nearby. This debris contained a massive amount of energy. After consuming it, this energy could be stored within the Fusion Pill for at least a month. During this month, he just needed to keep digesting it without needing any other energy input.

Woo-woo-woo!

The avian creatures flapped their wings and crossed the void. Their entire formation covered the sky and the sun; just looking at the scope, it was nearly a hundred miles in radius.

Of course.

It still looked somewhat inconspicuous in space.

But as they flew toward Earth.

The space docks in Earth's high orbit could feel their terror.

These space docks were built by Pangu Base and were equivalent to the ports on Earth in the past.

However.

The ports of the past docked warships and aircraft carriers.

The space docks of today mainly docked interstellar warships, aerospace carriers, avian formations, and so on.

As the avian formation docked at Space Dock No. 1, Jiang Haipeng picked a slightly smaller Red-crowned Crane and rode the crane... heading north!

This Red-crowned Crane was about a hundred meters tall, with thin legs and a long beak, beautiful feathers, and a top speed of Mach 100—it was a true beauty among birds.

He steered the Red-crowned Crane and, before long, arrived at the Alaska Grand Hotel.

When Jiang Haipeng entered the grand hotel to look for his mom.

Far away in the circular pit of Base No. 7 at the Area 51 alien base.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had already transformed into a bolt of humanoid lightning.

Inside this humanoid lightning, evolution was proceeding crazily...

Cells growing, dividing, decaying, dying, metamorphosing, then growing again, dividing, and merging with Lightning Qi particles...

Some of his organs were gradually decaying, but new organs were being gestated.

This organ was located right in his chest.

...

Over the 4.6 billion years since Earth's birth.

It took Earth over a billion years to give birth to the lowest and most primitive single-celled organisms like slime molds!

It took another few hundred million years to give birth to aquatic life.

It took another hundred million years to give birth to amphibians.

It took tens of millions of years to give birth to terrestrial life, mammals, and... Australopithecus!

Australopithecus, as the ancestor of humanity, took over a million years to evolve into Homo habilis, which could use tools!

And Homo habilis took another few hundred thousand years to evolve into Homo erectus, which could use fire and more advanced tools!

And Homo erectus took, took, took, took, took another few tens of thousands of years to evolve into Homo sapiens!

The evolution of life is so long and boring.

Therefore.

When a novel author fantasizes about a Homo sapiens evolving from a Level 1 Life Form to a Level 4 Lifeform in fifty years.

That is obviously very reasonable.
