Chapter 640 Creating a new race
The… source of life for alien invaders?
"This substance is called by them——%&*@."
The monster made a very strange and harsh sound.
"……What?"
Xu Xin and the other three were a little confused for a moment.
"%&*@, this is what they call this substance." The monster said, "I don't know how to say this substance in human language."
"Uh... can you repeat it again?" Xu Ying looked confused.
"%&*@."
"What the hell..." She gave up, "Forget it, can you describe what this thing is? Is it also a liquid?"
"No." The monster shook his head, "It's not a liquid, it's a... solid. A red crystal."
……crystal?
"Just ingesting a crystal of this size can provide an individual with a day's supply."
The monster raised its arm, which was longer than its legs, stretched out its hand with only four fingers, and pinched it with two fingers as black as ink.
About...the size of a fingernail.
"This... this is the first time I've heard of this," Xu Ying felt very curious, "Is this your source of energy? Don't you need to eat?"
"Eat? Do you mean to eat other living things like you earth creatures do? No..."
The monster slowly shook his head: "They only need to ingest that substance. This is actually the substance that makes up the surface of the home planet. This layer of substance gave birth to their race. It is impossible for them to eat the food on the earth like you do.
The corpses of living creatures, the water contained inside the corpses is poisonous to them, although they will not die, they will feel uncomfortable."
The material that makes up the surface of the planet?!
Xu Xin clicked his tongue in surprise.
Good guys, their race is eating the planet to reproduce.
"Ah...it turns out you don't eat, no wonder..."
Xu Ying recalled her own experience and couldn't help complaining: "No wonder the food provided to us in the first few years when we were captured was so unpalatable. It was dry and woody, as if we were chewing dry wood. I thought
He deliberately abused us..."
"...I don't know about that. I wasn't born yet at that time." The monster twisted its neck and the "muscles" on its body seemed to move.
"Uh... sure."
"What about you?" Shi Wanyun asked, "Don't you eat too? I remember, the first time I saw you, you seemed... holding a cup and drinking something."
"Because I am understanding and experiencing the diet of humans on Earth." The monster cracked his mouth and said. At the same time, a slender tongue stretched out in the air and then retracted. "I also have the organ of tasting taste for humans on Earth, the tongue."
Well...the alien invaders don't even have tongues.
Xu Xin was a little ashamed.
It seems that his imagination is still a little poor.
But it is true that from the mouths of the monsters, it can be learned that the alien invaders eat the "stones" on their home planet to survive, so they do not need a sense of taste at all.
However, since this guy can drink something...
Xu Ying tilted her head and looked at the monster in front of her, "Aren't you afraid of water?"
"...I'm not afraid physically, but before, I would feel a little scared mentally. This is related to the environment in which I grew up." The monster said, "But that was before. In this time and space, I no longer know how to be afraid.
I’m scared of a substance that does no harm to me.”
"Then do you need that red crystal as the source of life?" Shi Wanyun asked.
"It can be the source of my life, or it can't be." The monster knew everything, "I can also maintain my life by eating like humans."
I see……
"Okay, so we already know that they need this material to survive, then what?" Xu Xin asked, "There is no such material on the earth, so where do they get it? From the 'mother star'
Of?"
"That's right, supplied by the mother planet."
…
The alien invaders' home planet is very large, and even today's Earth is much smaller than that planet.
On it, there are countless lives that make a living by eating "surface crystals".
Because there is no food chain, the creatures on the "mother planet" have no so-called natural enemies, so at the beginning of the birth of life, life on that planet was extremely prosperous.
And after living things spread all over the world, even if there was no relationship in the food chain, hostile relationships also appeared.
"Territorial consciousness" is a consciousness engraved on the genes of the planet's organisms, similar to the food chain of the earth's organisms.
Because of "territorial disputes", it is natural that lives will inevitably fight against each other.
After a long period of reproduction, a family of alien invaders emerged from among them, successfully evolved superior IQ, and became intelligent life.
Having suppressed other life forms, they have no natural enemies and are full of "food". As a result, their numbers have skyrocketed crazily in the past ten thousand years.
All over the world.
Their technology also began to show an exponential surge.
But the good times didn't last long.
Since the birth of this planet, it has nurtured countless lives. The source of life on the surface, the reserves of crystals, are very scarce compared to ancient times.
And this planet has reached the end of its life, and its crust is basically inactive.
This substance, which was born through the movement of the earth's crust, has become a non-renewable resource.
At the same time, scientists have tried their best to research synthesis, but have not developed any substitutes.
And the over-expanded number of alien creatures is consuming this material at an almost crazy rate.
This is a big problem.
If according to the number of alien creatures and the speed of damage increase at that time, the remaining amount of this source of life on the planet, even if all the resources in strange and weird locations around the world are exhausted, calculated according to the time unit on the earth, even
They can't last five hundred years!
Five hundred years seems like a long time, at least we can still live comfortably in the current generation, but on a planet where technology has developed enough to make the top ruler almost immortal, for the ruler of that planet...
Can you only live another five hundred years?
This is too scary!
Higher intelligent creatures are always prepared for danger in times of peace.
When the news spread, panic began to spread throughout all territories on the planet.
The masters of these territories originally wanted to take more resources into their own hands, but as soon as this news came out, they became even more crazy.
As a result, the world war that swept the entire world began.
Territory wars with high-tech weapons are much more cruel than imagined.
During that war, countless species were exterminated, and the number of alien invader races was once reduced to 2% of its peak.
A very cruel war that paralyzed everything in that world.
Fortunately, they have a technological foundation, and it took about a hundred years of Earth time to return to the peak technological level.
Due to the reduction in the number of alien creatures that have experienced world wars, their consumption of the "source of life" has been greatly slowed down, giving them more time.
Thus, all territories reached an agreement.
Gather global power and focus on space.
They are going to outer space to find resources and the source of life they need for life.
This is the beginning when alien creatures began to colonize space and explore space.
At that time, it was already nearly 20,000 years ago based on earth time units.
That's right, alien invaders began to explore space 20,000 years ago, before humans on earth formed civilization, and during the period of primitive humans.
Also 20,000 years ago, the alien invaders experienced a period of ultra-rapid technological development and fell into a technological bottleneck.
In the past 20,000 years, due to the lack of resources and the upper limit of knowledge and understanding, their technology has made almost no progress.
They can only aimlessly explore the endless universe to find the illusory future of their race, which has reached its end.
Thousands of years ago, they found the Earth. They found this blue planet in the Milky Way that they both loved and feared.
At first, they were just afraid of the intelligence of humans on Earth.
