A biological tool?
Biotechnology.
The moment this term popped into Yu Liang's mind, everything suddenly became clear.
He'd previously thought that these tumor-like protuberances were quite different from the "lights" of his past world view; these protuberances possessed a special biological vitality, not the result of a cold mechanical creation, but rather a product of certain biochemical reactions.
This was why they could so easily adapt and blend with the body of their human host who was born from an egg.
The presence of these tumor-like protuberances served a dual purpose: they provide a light source for the incubation room and a portable light source for the man born from an egg.
Yu Liang looked at the ring of protruding bone joints on his wrist, like a toolbox pre-filled with the "tools" obtained by the egg-born man.
