Chapter 58
58 chapter
In the lake on the mountainside, the entangled black-gray matter and the white chitinous shell form a strange tree of flesh and blood. The roots go deep into the water, absorbing the nutrients of the fertile lake mud, and the flesh and blood that extend out like branches are blossoming. The white flowers sway with the wind, and dots of "pollen" continuously fall into the water, turning into new diocyst embryos.
Just like the Zerg that Xia Lin is familiar with, they are not all hideous hatcheries. In fact, their regular buildings are very natural and geometrically beautiful, and the material of bioplastics is similar to that of human engineering plastics, even slightly stronger. higher.
It's just that Xia Lin saw this kind of thing like a flowering willow tree for the first time, "Is this the Hai Si you mentioned?"
"No, I haven't seen this type of thing either." Gloria's expression was also very serious. It's normal for sea descendants to grow tentacles, but I haven't seen something like this like a flowering willow tree. It may be that the sea descendants absorbed the changes produced by some land creatures.
After discovering that the ordinary fear fish could not be stopped, this big tree was squirming crazily, trying to produce the next stage of creation. In its body, complex biochemical reactions continuously generated polymers and biomimetic neural networks, as if Humans "assemble" combat units as quickly as they assemble drones.
"Haisi has evolved, and now these things are different from what you have encountered. It seems that we are one step too late." Gloria looked at the retreating fearfish and the catkin-like flying flowers that kept falling on the ground The new Dreadfish unit.
They look like land lungfish, with four wide fins that can be used as feet to prop up the body, but the body surface is covered with white carapace, the scorpion-like tail points forward, and the forked tip on it There was a flash of lightning on the thorn, and in the next second a dense arc hit the bull's position.
"The power is not high, and the normal high-voltage barrier can resist it. It seems that it hasn't really started to connect to the Internet, otherwise it won't be the only ones." Xia Lin seemed much calmer. This guy has upgraded the previous Wangcai to get electricity at most. As long as the stick is safe, for any normal person wearing a protective suit, this kind of arc will cause a temporary surge overload at best.
"Okay, now it's time to fight. I also have security-level equipment here, which is just right!" Xia Lin put away the harvesting tubes that were still spinning around, "Rush over!"
Obviously, the way they drove the tractor caught the other party off guard. The bulging root seemed to be a huge sarcoma wriggling constantly, and something was slowly gestating inside.
Hai Si didn't have time to assemble the large unit on his side, so he was hit in the face by the bull. The lake in front of him was not suitable for the bull to advance, but Xia Lin didn't plan to use a shovel to solve this thing.
With the charging of the capacitor, the ion fuel is injected into the reaction chamber and ionized under the high-voltage arc to form a high-temperature arc plasma, and the blue flame is like a peacock feather fan blowing over a root system of a giant tree.
The high-permeability ion fuel quickly penetrates the outer shell comparable to polymer armor, burns through the pipeline inside, and the highly toxic and high-temperature plasma explodes instantly when it contacts the internal nutrient solution, forming a cloud of highly toxic blood mist.
Spray it, blow off a root system that absorbs nutrients, and make the Haisi giant tree become more irritable, and the arc units it creates are useless to the bull that has approved two layers of shoddy insulating armor in advance.
Just as the hunters didn't expect Haisi's "evolution" to be so fast, Haisi also didn't expect the neighbor's armored and reinforced tractor to arrive so quickly. Both sides were amazed at the speed and efficiency with which the other took out the big treasure.
"Skadi, get rid of that tumor!" Without Xia Lin's instructions, Skadi jumped out of the cockpit on standby with his giant sword in his hands, and walked straight towards the wriggling sarcoma by stepping on the roots extending to the lake shore.
"Pfft!" The sarcoid exploded before Skadi approached, and a twisted monster appeared from inside. The body was like a giant beast, but the head was a structure like a chrysanthemum blooming, something like a sundial. It expands and contracts rapidly in the head.
It can be clearly seen that this giant beast has traces of rushing work, the legs are not fully formed, thick flesh and blood pipes are connected to the mother body, as if it is a semi-finished product connected by cables and an assembly table.
This is also an advantage of the Zerg's large units. They can release half-finished products, but it is impossible for the Star Alliance to throw out half-finished drones and use them as half standard units.
"Skadi, don't look at that head, take it aside, don't let it see us!" Xia Lin ordered through the radio, and Gloria looked at Xia Lin, "What is that?"
"Bio, no, it's a high-energy laser, at least 1000 kilowatts of power, enough to burn through the protective shell of my vehicle. If Skadi is hit, she will be blown into pieces immediately, just like my arc It's like the injector hit that monster."
"Lasers, it evolves too fast, I hope they haven't been shared with all sea descendants!" Geletia's head suddenly became dizzy, the laser itself is not the problem, after all, the most likely consequence of using high-energy laser weapons in the deep sea is Blow yourself up on the spot, but what it means is troublesome.
"Don't panic," Xia Lin comforted, "The laser is not the most troublesome thing, see its unfinished back shell?" There, the "construction" sarcoma is wriggling and forming quickly, which seems to be a honeycomb-like structure, " The biological missiles haven't come online yet, so it's too early for you to panic."
"Isn't this because of your relationship?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, this step is the limit, if there is no next change, then there is no Internet connection." What is the next step, the next step is that you will find that they start to bio-accumulate metals, build metal shells, and use electricity Chemical metallurgy manufactures composite materials and high-strength biopolymer materials, and the power will also be changed from chemical energy bioreactors to serious electric arc reactors.
The weapon system will change from the old three to bio-guided smart missiles and similar smart ammunition. The Zerg smart ammunition has always been unique in the universe, because they really stuffed the brain of an intelligent creature in it, which is the space and ground missile interception system. archenemy.
Coupled with the special flight control structure, they are very experienced in using missiles-it is normal for the missiles to fly halfway and grow wings and enter the gliding stage. Under the control of the guiding biological brain, it is normal to move forward like a real bird .
"If you haven't seen ammunition on the battlefield that thinks for itself, that can detour, then it means they are not serious."
"Then I'd rather they never get serious." Gloria pushed open the hatch, and Skadi was about to lose her hold over there. She had to help, otherwise, Skadi would have to avoid almost all the targets on the ground. She went to the Arc Dreadfish, trying to avoid being pointed at by the sundial head as much as possible, and had to constantly use the giant sword to deflect the sundial head trying to lock the bull.
As soon as Gloria came up, she went straight to the biological missile nest that was still being assembled. This low-level biological missile is not powerful and has no intelligent function. It is similar to the cloud-repelling bomb made by Xia Lin in the Zerg system. But if they pull out real smart ammunition next.
Then Xia Rin had to consider the feasibility of running away with a bucket. It was not a farm fight, but a real military weapon unit.
Gloria's spear directly cut off the biological pipe that was firing the filling material into the nest, and kicked on the monster, making it unable to aim at the bull's position again.
After completely cutting half of the root system, the bull stepped back a little, and began to spray plasma flames towards the body of the giant tree and the surrounding arc fear fish. The plasma will explode again and again when it touches the biological body fluids and the lake surface , the flame can even be sprayed up to a height of more than ten meters.
Yelena stared intently, as if she wasn't frightened, but seemed eager to try. Every attack was like a bunch of fire and silver flowers, constantly clearing out a blank area among the fearful fish, and at the same time gouging out a piece of flesh from the giant tree. Leaves a huge rip mark.
After cutting off more than half of the organic matter supply, the speed of the giant tree manufacturing unit slowed down significantly. Gloria and Skadi cooperated with each other to cut off all the connection channels of the sundial-headed creature, losing the energy provided by the mother body. Either the speed of movement or the strength is rapidly weakening.
And the sundial-like laser on the top of the head can no longer carry out normal shooting operations. After falling into a ceasefire, Skadi jumped on his head, stood on the sundial spikes, and forced the cutter in his hand against it. face.
If the mirror-like arc can be called a "face", the high-pressure dense ion flow instantly pierces the mirror, piercing all the energy storage organs and control organs behind it, and the three-meter-long ion flow is carved out of the living body. A tunnel-like cavity.
The rapidly evaporating liquid opened up the carapace and muscles, and sprayed out from under every inch of the body, "Bang!" The upper body of the giant beast exploded into a bloody mess.
Before that, the ghost shark had already jumped to the root of the giant tree when everyone was attracting attention, and went around to the other side. There was a harsh and strange sound between the spinning circular saw in his hand and the polymer shell and tough fibrous tissue. .
Even Argo's black-tech materials couldn't withstand this violent use. Finally, the saw blade cracked and was completely scrapped.
In desperation, the Ghost Shark could only use the power of its hands and limbs to further damage the roots of the giant tree, and climb up the shell, tearing apart all the flowers that were breeding combat units like catkins.
As Skadi and Gloria dealt with the sundial head monster, and then used the giant sword and ion cutter to deal with the remaining steps of the giant tree, and Xia Lin's arc plasma jet caused serious damage to the giant tree, this sea The large temporary structure that Si turned into finally began to crumble.
With the forceful impact of the ghost shark, the giant tree whose roots had been extensively cracked and carbonized shook, and began to fall to one side, exposing the core beating like a heart inside.
"Pfft!" The broken polymer fragments in Ghost Shark's hand pierced into the core, Hai Si's bodily fluids surged out like a fountain, and the call that the hunters could feel all the time came to an abrupt end.
"It's solved!" Ghost Shark threw away the debris that was almost corroded by Hai Si's body fluid, watching the bright red core slowly weaken, turning into a pool of degradable biomass.
Xia Lin brought some products to deal with this kind of biomass, so as to prevent the lake from being poisoned or eutrophic, and also to prevent the remaining spores from forming new sea saplings. The hunters covered in blood relaxed a little and swam to the shore Sitting on the shore of the lake.
The battle didn't last long, and it didn't put too much pressure on their physical strength, but it consumed too much mental strength.
"I hope that as you said, the sea descendants will not evolve to the next stage." Gloria looked at the degraded wreckage and said, "Otherwise, both we and you land people will have to pay for it." cost."
"That's not evolution. As I said before, whether they use it depends on whether they want it, not whether they can." Xia Lin shook her head, "If you really think that this kind of playful balance can last forever, Then that's the real horror."
"Ah, Captain, I have dealt with a large Hai Si, should you give me a promotion?" Ghost Shark ran over carelessly, "I got rid of this guy's 'beep~' and 'beep~' from it. The 'beep' and 'beep~' were pulled out, and now even its 'beep~' can't recognize what kind of 'beep~' it is."
"Ghost shark, pay attention to polite and civilized language when speaking"
"Okay, I took care of a large Hai Si, so I should be able to get a promotion now, captain, is there any extra bonus for promotion?"
"Okay, I'll give you a promotion when I get back, and I'll give you everything you need for bonuses." Gloria showed a "kind" smile, and Skadi, who was on the side, sighed and returned the cutting machine to After leaving Xia Lin, he hesitated for a while and returned to the hunter lineup.
"Xia Lin, that braided guy has been staring at your neck, as if he was about to do something." Yelena whispered, half of her attention was on Skadi, mainly because she was sitting in the driver's seat before. When she was in the cabin, she looked the most out of place.
"I've always wanted to ask, what do you add to your genetic adjustments?" Xia Lin touched Yelena's head to show that she understood, "I mean, what are the characteristics of animals on your body?" The three The hunter didn't seem to have animal ears, so he couldn't tell what kind of creature it was.
"This is a woman's secret, Boss Xia, please don't inquire about it..."
"I'm a shark, Skadi is a killer whale, and the captain is..."
"Ghost Shark!"
"Okay, I'll shut up." Ghost Shark fiddled with the completely scrapped weapon, "Captain, won't I pay for the broken weapon?"
"No, after you go back, let the logistics department fix it for you." Gloria rubbed her head. This guy's brain was not right from the beginning of the report. Sometimes he was too happy, sometimes he was too quiet. The department suspected that something might have gone wrong during the technical adjustment.
"Orcas, that's normal." Orcas have a fascinated impression of humans. As killer whales, they eat and attack everything except humans.
There is a gossip that in the eyes of killer whales, human beings are very similar to their own cubs, so they will rescue them as lost or drowning cubs. Of course, there is another saying that they suck people to fuck you, although the latter One theory is closer to Dolphin's intentions.
After turning around the lake for a few times, after the professional Geletia confirmed that the Hai Si and everything it left behind had been completely degraded and harmless, the group of people Talent returns to the farm.
The hunters want to go back to the sea, and Xia Lin wants to organize people to clean up the fields and crops damaged by the ice storm, and repair the newly repaired factory houses damaged by the ice storm.
Chapter 59 A Red Titty Falls from the Sky
The ultra-low temperature storm froze the entire land so that it could make a sound. The sprouts of various crops are basically similar to long and short sharp blades. Even wearing gloves are easy to be cut by the frozen leaf edges. This makes cleaning these The process of cropping becomes very slow.
And the good news cannot be said to be completely absent, that is, most of the diseases and insect pests in the soil were frozen to death, and those weeds did not escape unharmed, even the plants adapted to the extreme climate of Terra could not withstand this natural disaster devastated.
Break up the frozen soil again, and use bull tractors, manpower, and barely usable animal power to complete the work bit by bit. Xia Lin's vehicle is used to deal with those places that are extremely hard frozen, like a piece of steel, while others deal with it. Places less affected by ice storms.
Even the physical strength and arm strength of the patriots after the transformation is a bit difficult to do, and those infected are even more gritted their teeth, after all, they have to complete this task before the natural blizzard comes down.
Most of the snowflakes in natural disasters and blizzards are composed of sublimated carbon dioxide and other components, which will sublimate and disappear after the temperature rises, while naturally occurring blizzards are different.
If the frozen clods cannot be broken at this time, then once the snow accumulates and melts in the next year, the originally reclaimed land will instantly turn into a puddle of mud, water will not penetrate, and it will become a pool of mud on the surface. Turbulent flow everywhere, saving in low-lying areas.
The insulation structure of the earth makes it difficult to cool down under normal conditions, which can protect the root system of plants, but it also means that once the temperature is lowered to this low temperature by natural disasters, it is much slower to rise back up than the snow on the surface.
Turning cooked land into raw land, or muddy land, this is a tragic scene that no one engaged in agriculture wants to see. Therefore, at this time, the frozen soil must be crushed and turned up, and use the sunny sunshine these days to restore it to its original appearance. Cover with new thermal mulch.
"The harvest is big, so let's plant the next year's spring." Xia Lin never expected that the natural disasters here would be more terrifying and powerful than he expected. There's a row in the front row.
In addition to natural disasters causing troubles for everyone, Xia Lin also found that a large number of source stone particles were deposited in the place hit by the ice storm, from low-purity ores called source rock blocks by local people to higher-purity crystal source stone mines. Yes, in order to reduce the pollution of origin stones and prevent the spread of infection, Xia Lin drove the car and put all these newly produced origin stone belts on the marker poles.
After solving the land problem, he plans to bring the infected people to mine these mines and refine them into high-purity source stone crystals. It just so happens that he also studies the situation of Terra's staff and spells to see if they can It cannot be achieved mechanically.
After all, some origin stone skills here are very interesting. For example, the origin stone skills of the medical warlock that promotes wound healing, Xia Lin didn't quite understand how it worked, and it seemed that it had no effect on him.
The hunters picked a good sunny day to leave. As a reward for their help, Xia Lin gave them some food and necessary road supplies. The latter also exchanged some unimportant technical information and knowledge on mechanical design during this period. .
Both sides feel that the other's technical system is very strange, but they both have a little enlightening effect, and strictly speaking, Xia Lin is at a loss in this exchange.
He is neither a senior engineer nor a scientist, and the bits and pieces he communicated can only be seen as a curiosity, and even the inspiration is rare and difficult to use.
However, Geletia has benefited a lot from being a technology consul, but in the same way, it is also difficult for her to completely absorb the other party's technology system for her own use. It can only be said to be a bit of inspiration and reference value.
After all, such things as technology, even bloodletting and empowerment, are not a short-term small project. This kind of short-term communication for a few days can only be said to have some reference and inspiration value-especially if neither party understands In the case of the technical core principle, it can only have reference value.
After leaving the farm for some distance, Geletia stopped and looked at Skadi, "What's going on with you these days? You always look absent-minded, and you dare to lose your mind during the battle?"
"Captain, I..." Skadi didn't know what to say, "That person gave me a strange feeling, always wanting to get closer, but didn't know what to do"
"Are you in love?"
"Ghost Shark, shut up!" Gloria glared at Ghost Shark, then looked at Skadi and frowned slightly, "What kind of attraction is it, compared to Hai Si's? Have the idea of tearing each other apart?"
Both hunters and monsters have the desire to attack and hunt each other, and they can be attracted by each other even at a long distance.
"There is no desire to attack, but there will be other impulses." Skadi seriously recalled the report of Huihui, "A feeling similar to... like wanting to touch and hug, very strange"
"Hmm..." Gloria thought for a few seconds, and came to a conclusion similar to that of Ghost Shark, "It seems that you are indeed in love."
"Look, Captain, I'm right!" Ghost Shark said aggrievedly that she shouldn't be scolded, her intuition was very accurate.
"Love? What is it?" Skadi has cycled through hunting, training, and rest since he could remember. The good way to say it is the simplicity of ignorance of world affairs, and the bad way to say it is the iron man who doesn't understand anything.
"That's a long story. It's best for hunters not to have an affair with their children. You understand the reason." Of course, hunters don't forbid love, marriage or other relationships, but it's best not to do so. It was allowed to continue after being reviewed and investigated by multiple parties.
And Gloria understands the reason. She is the chief designer of the deep-sea hunter force. Of course she understands, but she cannot say that the blood of Hai Si flows in the hunters' bodies. Therefore, the essence of the combination and love of hunters is also the human body. The part of the experiment is just covered with a relatively tactful packaging.
After all, compared to bluntly saying that this is a breeding test, it is much gentler to package this screening process and a series of tests and guarantees in the middle as the identity review and necessary investigation and screening of special forces members and partners. You won't notice the problem here.
"You better learn to suppress your emotions and instincts, or you will kill yourself in the next battle."
