The Worn-Out Salvage Ship Snail

In the interstellar age, human civilization sits at the bottom of the universe’s food chain, fighting to survive. Xia Anyu, a scrap recycler, accidentally awakens the “Devouring Core,” a relic from an ancient super-civilization. The core fuses with his battered salvage ship, the Snail, giving it the ability to devour anything and evolve without limit. From a junk heap of a ship that everyone despises to a colossal star-beast that rules the cosmos, Xia Anyu relies on his ever-evolving battleship to scavenge advanced materials, decipher alien technology, and trample his enemies’ wreckage as he leads humanity step by step to the summit of the stars.
