The problem was found, but facing the tentacles full of holes, everyone who saw this scene could not help but feel their scalps numb.
If you have trypophobia, you will probably faint on the spot!
Soldiers, you look at me and I look at you, we are all a bit at a loss.
They have fought against giant insects, fought against noble armies, and fought with aliens. There are many people who have traveled back and forth to Jupiter several times, and they are all well-informed, but this weird plant can't even be seen.
Never heard of it!
Luo Qi looked confused: "Sir, how do you deal with this thing?"
Ye Han also had a headache. No one present was more familiar with aliens than him, but he had never heard of such a situation either.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Han said: "Bridge!"
"Captain, the bridge receives it!"
"Look at that strange tree. Take a closer look."
"Yes, do I need to synchronize the screen?"
"Send it to me."
"Understood, countdown to three, two, one!"
As soon as the word was finished, Ye Han received a video signal from Leishan. At this time, Leishan was located on the side of the asteroid, and the camera happened to be aimed at the strange tree from the side and above.
At this time, the strange tree still maintained its appearance a few days ago, half of it was frozen in thick ice, and the other half was blown to pieces, leaving only the charred trunk.
Ye Han looked at it carefully for a while and then said uncertainly: "It doesn't look like you are still alive!"
"Isn't that right?" He Lu agreed.
Luo Qi had a different opinion: "The key to a plant is whether its roots are alive, right?" As he spoke, he glanced into the hole.
Ye Han chewed his teeth and said, "Think about it, how can we kill these crappy things?"
"How about a laser gun?" Luo Qi suggested.
"Can you guarantee that it will be completely dead after cutting off the roots?"
Luo Qi immediately shook his head: "How is that possible? But if you cut off the roots, it won't affect anything even if you come around. What does it matter if you live or not?"
"It makes sense." Ye Han nodded, "That's the way to go, first use the laser gun, and then use the incendiary bomb!"
"Yes!" Luo Qi quickly agreed.
"Bridge, blow up the outside too!"
"Yes!" He Lu also replied immediately.
The order was given, and actions were taken simultaneously inside and outside the asteroid.
Under Luo Qi's command, all the soldiers in the team carrying laser guns stood up and swept the vertical and horizontal laser beams, easily cutting off a large number of roots.
The broken roots float slowly in the air, still as motionless as before, not like roots, but like some kind of living thing.
When Ye Han thought about this, a thought suddenly occurred to him: Is this really the root of that strange tree?
While thinking, the severed roots entangled themselves and soon gathered into an irregular sphere like wool.
As the warriors moved, more and more floating spheres appeared, several large and small. When they met together, they could fuse and grow on their own.
Everyone looked at it and marveled at it involuntarily.
At this time, a tentacle ball happened to collide with half of the giant insect that Luo Qi had knocked away. The seemingly harmless tentacles entangled the insect corpse without warning, and then quickly tightened, and the hard insect shell was like an egg shell.
The tentacles were dented and broken.
Everyone was immediately shocked. Although the armor was much stronger than the insect shell, it was so easy to crush the insect shell. If the armor really got entangled with this thing, it was hard to say whether it could hold on.
Luo Qi's expression was the most embarrassing and solemn: "Commander, why don't you just use the incendiary bomb?" The incendiary bomb prepared by the airborne division has its own oxidizer, and the burning temperature can reach an astonishing three thousand degrees, even steel can be burned into molten iron.
, let alone a mere tentacle?
"Then give it a try." Ye Han said.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
Luo Qi personally took an incendiary bomb, pulled the tab and threw it towards the tentacle ball. The moment it touched, the tentacle ball immediately wrapped the incendiary bomb, and then a blue flame burst out from the tentacle ball, and the high temperature instantly burned it.
Burnt many tentacles.
Since the vacuum lacks a medium to conduct heat, only the tentacles in contact with the incendiary bomb can touch the astonishing high temperature. If there is no direct contact, even if it is close at hand, there will be only light and no heat.
Most of the tentacles were burned by the high temperature, but a few tentacles shook off the burnt tentacle balls and escaped.
Several of them just happened to pop out of the hole, and a soldier pulled out his saber and caught one of the tentacles.
The moment the tentacles touched the saber, they were wrapped around it. It was so forceful that the tentacles were directly cut off by the sharp blade.
The tentacles looked like they were in agony, twisting their slender bodies crazily.
"Use the scabbard!" Luo Qi promptly reminded.
The warrior suddenly realized it and immediately handed over the scabbard. The twisting tentacles immediately wrapped around it and turned into several circles of inconspicuous strings around the knife.
The soldier took the scabbard in front of him, looked at it, turned around and handed the scabbard to Luo Qi: "Batalion Commander, it's alive!"
Luo Qi rolled his eyes helplessly and took the scabbard: "I don't know if it's alive?"
"No, I mean, this thing is not like a tree root, it should be a living thing."
Luo Qi agreed very much and handed the scabbard to Ye Han again.
Ye Han didn't even look at it: "I don't care whether it's alive or dead, get rid of it immediately, the sooner the better!"
Without saying a word, Luo Qi immediately organized the soldiers to eliminate the tentacles. He himself came to Ye Han's side and said, "Commander, do you need to take a few back with you for the superiors to study?"
Ye Han thought for a while and said: "Catch a few and put them away, but you don't need to take them back. Just put them here. When the base is built in the future, the superiors will send people to study them."
"Yes!" Luo Qi immediately agreed, but then hesitated, "Is this appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate." Ye Han said clearly, "I still don't know what this thing is. If I take it back, if I run out or something happens, can you bear the responsibility?"
When Luo Qi heard this, he quickly shook his head.
Just kidding, can he bear such a big responsibility?
Ye Han didn't wait for Luo Qi to speak, but he thought about it first: "No, with this thing, the No. 1 Base must not be built in this place... the bridge?"
"Received on the bridge, please speak!"
"Don't get too close, keep a safe distance!"
"Yes!" He Lu responded loudly, "Report to the captain, our ship is already in position and can bomb the tree stumps at any time. Please give instructions!"
"Just make your own decision and give me the result."
"Yes!" He Lu agreed, and a few seconds later, waves of imperceptible tremors were transmitted from the surface of the asteroid to the depths of the asteroid.
Half a minute later, Ye Han received the video from He Lu. The video was very short, but it recorded the whole process of Leishan smashing the tree stump. The plants rooted on the surface of the asteroid were completely shattered by the bombardment, leaving only a deep hole.
A crater several meters long.
At the bottom of the crater, countless roots penetrate deeply into the asteroid.
Ye Han couldn't understand at all what was the driving force that prompted this strange tree to desperately take root deep into the asteroid.
