Chapter 173 Minor Details
The weight and flying posture are like feathers, but the landing process cannot be as light as feathers. The more the speed is reduced, the more obvious the small somersault cloud is disturbed by the wind, and the smaller the range of adjustment through the rudder surface is. Eric Si tried hard to control his balance, but in the end he fell from a height of two meters.
"Bang!" Alex's internal organs were shocked. When he was tied up at ten points, the buffer range of his body was too small. This fall was much more uncomfortable than falling directly from a height of two meters - But at least Alex is still intact, which is something to be happy about. Undoing the hooks and buttons one by one, Alex is finally freed from the aircraft.
The small somersault cloud was stuck diagonally in the soil. Alex held the frame with both hands and pushed backwards to pull it out. Although the sound of the river flowing was in his ears, making him thirstier than before, Eric Kes was still patient and first checked the damage of the small somersault cloud, fixed it in the mud by the river with a grappling hook, and then walked towards the river with the computing stick.
Doing every detail and completing every necessary step is a good habit he learned from his sister Amy.
There were ungulate footprints in the wet mud by the river. There were about four sets of footprints leading to the river, but only three sets left. Alex used the visual touch screen to capture the image and conducted a simple analysis and found that the three sets of leaving footprints With larger strides, stronger kicks and deeper footprints, it can be basically concluded that they are escaping. In other words, the river is not safe and there may be predators, so be careful.
"What could it be and where could it be?" Alex looked at the water surface. The flowing water quickly washed away the river bank. It was slightly turbid under the white waves. There was no danger that could be seen with the naked eye. Worrying about a ferocious beast was just a matter of time. It's something, but you can't avoid drinking water just because you're worried, right?
Alex twisted the computing stick and ordered it to transform into a resonance generator and extend to a length of two meters. Then, near the river, Alex swung the computing stick and hit the water surface hard, activating the resonance at the same time. Sound generator. Low-frequency infrasound waves suddenly erupt under the water and spread in all directions. This is equivalent to a beast declaring its territory by the river.
There is no beast in the world that can emit such a low-frequency strong resonance. The creatures lurking in the river were obviously frightened. Four panicked splashes appeared on the river and quickly moved away. The crocodile's scaly tail was exposed in the gap between the splashes. Now Alex knew what the hidden danger was. Taking advantage of the noise to scare the crocodile away, he hurried to the river.
Water is living water, and I can't ask for more now. Anyway, with the Evolver plug-in and the elemental body as a base, Alex's body has a strong tolerance. He bent down and took a big gulp of water, and the space suit on his body also took the opportunity to replenish it. and store moisture.
The water here is a little bitter, but the number of microorganisms is surprisingly small. It is probably related to the high heat and radiation cast by the killer star, which is equivalent to constantly killing microorganisms every day. Observing from the surface of the water, it is obvious that there is a lack of phytoplankton in the river, but in Deeper in the river, you can vaguely see aquatic plants and fish.
"It seems that flowing water is very effective in absorbing radiation and heat energy. If it doesn't work, you can hide in deep water." Eric Stun drank enough water and found a black figure swimming out from the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, heading towards Come in your direction. It is a huge crocodile. With its tail visually estimated to be about twelve meters long, it is simply a terrifying beast.
It looks like it wants to regain ground for the crocodile that was frightened away, or it wants to maintain its leadership position in this area. In short, it chose Alex as its target. This is its misfortune. There is a lack of fish and floating fish.
The plants increase the visual distance of the river, and Alex can also use brain-controlled algorithms to optimize the images seen by his eyes, allowing him to have a panoramic view of the giant crocodile's movements.
Shields and armor plates can be broken. How hard can a crocodile's upper jaw be? Now that Alex had seen the crocodile, he immediately deformed the computing stick and used strong current signals to stimulate nerves as the main attack method.
He squatted half-crouched by the river, with all his muscles ready to exert force. He held a computing stick in both hands and used an advanced Type 1 counterattack stance to deal with the crocodile.
That was originally the posture used to deal with the assault mecha behind the bunker. Crocodile would never see it once in ten lifetimes - once it was seen, it would be gone in a lifetime.
The crocodile swung its long tail and suddenly accelerated out of sleep. It twisted its neck sideways and hit Alex diagonally with its upper and lower jaws from both directions. Its movements were fast and fierce enough, but not abrupt enough. The moment it came out of the water, Alex
He began to exert force, kicking on the ground and retreating to avoid the main bite range of the teeth. At the same time, he thrust the computing stick forward like a spear. This weapon of the compound evolved man effortlessly penetrated the crocodile's upper jaw and stabbed it.
It enters the position between its mouth and brain, and then releases a flash of strong current signals.
The crocodile's brain instantly lost its function and entered a state of brain death. Alex pulled out the computing stick backwards, and then saw the crocodile's whole body twitching unnaturally. This was the entire nervous system that controlled its body's movements and was losing its brain.
After the signal was controlled, the final release of each person's fight, due to the irregularity of their movements, might be more dangerous than the previous attack. Alex ducked backwards, waited for more than ten seconds, and then stepped forward.
Go ahead and hit the crocodile's eyeball with a computing stick.
It doesn't respond, so it's really dead. There are many weird creatures in the universe. Some guys have two sets of organs in their bodies, and it's not surprising that they even have two sets of main and secondary brains. According to the calculation stick of compound evolved people,
Techniques, verifying death is a very important step. Then, Alex turned the computing stick into a grappling hook and dragged the crocodile ashore.
"There is something to eat, but the skin of this old crocodile is too thick. How can we cut it open and eat it?" Alex circled the giant crocodile twice, and then decided on the plan: turn the crocodile upside down, from back to front.
Cut and then separate left and right.
The specific process is full of raw blood and will not be described here. Alex estimated that this huge trophy weighed more than ten tons, which was enough for him to waste, so he only needed to take the safest and most cost-effective one.
For nutrition, the most reliable parts can be used as food.
The smell of fresh corpses drifts in the wind, and the blood flowing into the river will also attract predators. Alex can knock down any enemy, but those guys may hurt the little somersault cloud when they charge or escape. So Ai
Ricks had to hurry up and find a whole piece of muscle from the crocodile's flank and cut it off, which weighed more than 20 kilograms. He carried the piece of meat back to the small somersault cloud and started the anti-gravity engine just to lower the aircraft.
Carrying the weight of the meat and the cloud on his left and right shoulders respectively, Alex moved forward to a relatively higher place.
Before he could go far, a dinner party began. The first to arrive were the crocodiles. These greedy guys would not let go of the leader's meat and first tried to drag him back into the water. But with the arrival of the land lizards, the big guys
The impact and fight began. They all seemed to understand that the giant crocodile's body was enough for both parties to share. The only thing they had to fight for was who had more and who had less during the distribution. There was no need to fight to the death. In the end, with a huge tearing sound, the giant crocodile
It was divided into three parts: left, middle and right. Land lizards and water crocodiles took away the best chunks of meat on the left and right, while the middle parts of the spine, skull and tail remained on the shore.
Alex watched their fight from more than a hundred meters away, and at the same time cooked dinner for himself. Since the small somersault cloud had a shield that could prevent radiation, he was the one least anxious in the canteen by the river.
Transforming the computing stick into a blade, Alex first cut a piece of crocodile meat and ate it raw. The taste made him feel extremely sorry for himself. Although the internal circulation maintenance equipment of the Evolver plug-in reported that it was a very good protein,
It can be eaten safely, and the body can tolerate it completely, but Alex cannot pass the test in his heart.
The lack of vegetation means the lack of fuel. Making a fire is a luxury, but flames are not the only way to obtain heat. Alex has meat in front of him and water in his belly, so it is time to use the elements in his brain.
.
The elemental body is a portable printer that can also convert one substance into another substance. It is like "alchemy in advertising". Alex tried it first and found that it is best not to
Using the function of changing the number of atoms, whether it is fusion or fission, would be too expensive to complete simply using particles. On the contrary, reorganization at the molecular level is relatively simple.
Alex is going to make a solar cooker, which requires a concave reflecting mirror, plus a stove at the focus. Of course, everything needs a frame. The soil on the ground is the best supporting material, although Alex does not have
He couldn't get the detailed composition of the soil like analyzing a starship, but that didn't stop him from using only the shaping ability of the particles. So he squeezed it with his hands and reinforced it with the particles, and it took him more than half an hour to complete a piece.
Concave mud pot half a meter in diameter.
The size data of this thing is calculated entirely by visual touch screen and brain control. Since this is just a solar cooker and not the Death Star's Kyber crystal focusing array, the error requirements are not so precise and only require the palm of the hand.
Rough machining is enough. But the next work is more important and requires precise control, which is to create mirrors to gather light.
Alex does not plan to use glass, because the glass itself is not reflective, and a layer of reflective metal is needed at the bottom. So why not just use reflective metal? Just polish it carefully, or use tens of thousands of diamond particles in an industrial environment to continuously
Friction and bronze mirrors can completely achieve the effect of every detail. The advantage of the elemental body is that it can directly control the finished product at the molecular level. Erics basically does not need subsequent polishing and can completely try to mold it in one go.
The raw material comes from the titanium alloy shell of the mining machine. After filling the gaps and depressions, only a thin layer is needed to reflect and collect light.
The first step is to complete the entire design drawing in the brain-controlled body, so that the elemental body knows what it wants to do. The first step is relatively simple, and enough information can be collected by relying on the visual touch screen, and the latter step is also because of the simple design.
The function is single and natural.
The second step is to press the titanium alloy material into the mud basin, keep rubbing it with your hands, and at the same time order the particles to attach to the titanium alloy, and transport them little by little into the mud basin. This is what Alex started from
He had no experience before, and even with the steps given by his master, his progress was still very slow. The main reason was that Alex could not see the elemental body and lacked intuitive feelings. It was not like a starship or an antimatter machine at all.
The engine is so straightforward and clear.
As a good master, Mr. Jin also thought of this. He said in the tutorial left to Alex: "The monkey of the original body thinks that the elemental body is the air of the world, which can be divided into clear air and turbid air, and you, a little
The monkey boy will definitely not agree with this idea."
"Your generation lacks imagination and can only focus on the small circle of technology, or at most expand a little outside the circle. You don't believe in things you can't see, or theories that are not supported by current technology, and you are very good in this regard.
Stubborn. So I have to tell you a fact: the elemental body is an actual substance, and it is a precise tool that can subdivide the structure."
The master then listed many "magic" in his eyes, such as precision machine tools, assembly lines, printers, and engineering robots. "The thing that puzzles me the most is the computer. Can you see electrons? It's amazing, how does it work?"
Multifunctional. This may help you understand the elemental body."
According to the characteristics of the elemental body, it does not matter what theory is used to understand it. The key is to always use this theory to understand it. Alex's elemental body has passed the stage of finalization, and now it must be "
Recalling "how he positioned the elemental body. In this regard, although it is impossible for Mr. Jin to guess 100% of Alex's thoughts, he can help draw a range.
"How will I position the elemental body?" If this positioning can be found accurately, the efficiency of the elemental body will be greatly improved. "Master said not to care about the days I forgot. No matter what I learned at that time,
My thinking is more influenced by the past time.”
Alex took a deep breath to calm down, and then began to describe the elemental body in his mind. "First of all, it is very small. It is an independent individual that can travel throughout the body and can only play a role when gathered together. In my opinion, in the end,
The simple first thing is that it must be a bee colony or an ant colony. Well... there are fewer bees, and the possibility of an ant colony is higher."
The master left behind a method that can be used to verify whether his ideas are in line with the positioning of the elemental body. Alex followed the master's method and continued to use his brain control body to give orders to grind the mirror, while imagining the ant colony at the microscopic level.
It looked like division of labor and cooperation. He tried it for a while, but the efficiency of the elemental body did not improve. It seemed that the ant colony was wrong.
"What else?" Alex frowned and muttered to himself: "My studies are not very good, and my social experience is delivering food. Can you imagine what kind of group it is? Well, it can't be food delivery, right?
…”
But when he imagined the Yuanli body as logistics personnel who received orders, delivered orders, and received positive comments, the efficiency of the Yuanli body gradually improved. "Is it really a logistics system?" Alex felt his palms were getting hot.
Titanium alloy parts are rapidly being transformed into mirror surfaces.
"Yes, we should indeed think in this direction. Ants or bee colonies have limited intelligence and are not suitable to describe the elemental body. Only intelligent people coordinate and carry out active work. This scene is more in line with my understanding.
You know. Thinking about it, it’s not just transportation, but also construction, so I’ll further imagine the corpora as logistics and engineering... isn’t that the engineering corps?”
When Alex endows the elemental body with the attribute of discipline, work efficiency reaches its highest level. Alex depicts the division of labor and cooperation mechanism of the engineering troops in his mind, as well as the battlefield scene when encountering problems, and gives the elemental body the attribute of discipline.
The body has a certain autonomy. At this time, he felt that his body was fully mobilized, and the titanium alloy mirror continued to expand like water waves.
However, the physical exertion was also increasing, and he soon became hungry. He wanted to eat an energy bar, but after looking at the Gobi desert around him, he felt that it was more important to pay attention to the details of saving, so he bit into the crocodile meat.
