In the laboratory, the mechanical bug was studied repeatedly by Shen Cong.
He can confirm that this is indeed a kind of metal life with a divine fire system, but it has no brain fire, so it cannot communicate in cicada language. Its mouthparts can emit shock waves, which is a simple way to use active waves, probably Used for communication needs.
It's just the specific communication method that I can't figure out because I lack more samples to compare.
"Talent 1.256h, lv4 - Nebula Era, I can't tell the difference between male and female, and I don't know how to maintain life, whether to eat or absorb fire energy... There is no fire energy distribution on the surface of the moon, no oases have been found, and there is no volcanic activity. It’s completely extinguished.”
Compared to the earth, the moon is a desolate and silent planet.
Scientists speculate that the moon once had volcanic eruptions, but there has been no volcanic activity in the past billion years. Of course, they cannot rule out that there will be volcanoes in the future. In fact, some scientists speculate that the formation of the lunar maria was caused by volcanic eruptions. But The moon is not as powerful as the earth and may not be ejected.
Magma can only slowly spread from the interior to the surface, forming huge flat basalt.
In such a place where birds do not poop, it is obvious that no life can survive. Even metallic life needs supplementary nutrients.
"This mechanical bug obviously needs to eat. There are two hypotheses. The first is that fire fragments landed somewhere on the moon, forming an oasis, and the mechanical bug ran over from there; the second is that fire fragments landed somewhere on the moon and formed an oasis. There is no oasis on the moon, but there are materials that can be eaten by metallic life."
Shen Cong decided not to be busy dissecting the mechanical bug for the time being. He planned to release the mechanical bug, let it escape, and follow it to find a place where there might be an oasis or edible material.
The mechanical bug can burrow into the ground. Its six air-cushion-like feet can be contracted so that it can easily burrow into the soil. All Shen Cong needs to do is to stuff its air-cushion feet with metal pieces. In this way, it can If the air mattress cannot be contracted, it cannot drill into the soil and can only run on the surface.
Make all preparations.
The mechanical bug was thrown outside by Shen Cong. As soon as it landed, the mechanical bug tried to drill into the ground, but the six legs it relied on to drill into the ground turned into air cushions and could not break through the soil at all.
Shen Cong released a little pressure to drive away, and the mechanical bug stopped burrowing into the ground and started running directly on the surface.
The Six-Armed Heavenly Lord-Sky Sweeper strode after it.
Blackhead sensed the running of the mechanical bug through pheromones, and immediately made a disdainful comment: "Weak bugs, fight against the five scum, Blackhead will beat two of them one by one!"
"I thought you were going to fight ten of them."
Shen Cong drove the six-armed Tianzun-Sky Sweeper, and followed the mechanical bug calmly, watching the mechanical bug run at super high speed. This speed reached at least two hundred kilometers per hour, which shows that although the mechanical bug only has one He is as long as a meter, but the energy inside his body is very powerful.
If it is blackheads, it will definitely not happen at this speed.
An hour later, while studying the crooked running trajectory of the mechanical bug, Shen Cong gradually discovered a clue: "The mechanical bug is indeed not running blindly, but has a set direction... This direction seems to be consistent with the super animal I am looking for. Are the eight knots of gold in the same direction?"
His current location is in the west of the Sea of Tranquility. The mechanical bug is running to the northwest, which is the direction of the Sea of Air.
"No matter where you go, just follow me."
The desolate basalt plain has monotonous colors and rising temperatures. The mechanical bug is running tirelessly, and Shen Cong is running tirelessly. After chasing each other, three hours have passed. He has crossed the Sea of Tranquility, and now he has arrived. The crater zone between the Sea of Tranquility and the Sea of Air.
In addition to the basalt plains and maria, the moon's surface is filled with large and small craters.
Because there is no barrier from the atmosphere, all celestial bodies can fall directly onto the moon and form craters.
After crossing several large craters and entering the air sea, the mechanical bug was still running tirelessly. I don't know how its small body had such long-lasting energy. It had been running for four hours. It's not the limit yet, because the air sea has also been crossed, and six hours have passed.
To the northwest of the Qi Sea are the Apennine Mountains.
The Apennine Mountains are the largest mountain range on the moon's surface, one thousand kilometers long, three thousand to four thousand meters above the lunar sea level, with many peaks four to five thousand meters high. According to scientists' speculation, the Apennine Mountains were formed during the Imbrium impact event. The fault zone formed, while Mare Imbrium was formed by the impact of a meteorite hundreds of millions of years ago.
It is still unknown whether it is true or not, but when Shen Cong's Sky Eye Radar swept across the Apennine Mountains, his eyes suddenly flashed like two lasers.
"The fire energy here is dissipating, and the field activity wave of the Super Seven-Knot Gold has begun to solidify here. If my perception is correct, the Super Seven-Knot Gold is in the Apennines... Follow the mechanical bug , it is definitely related to Super Seven Knot Gold!”
The six-armed Tianzun-Skygrabber advances rapidly and sets foot on the largest mountain range on the moon.
The mountains look like many mountains, but they are all the same monotonous, bare and barren, and there is not much change in color. They are all gray, but some are darker and some are lighter.
Mechanical bugs are scurrying around in the mountains.
The Six-Armed Heavenly Lord-Sky Sweeper is chasing behind.
After going back and forth, it took about an hour, and finally, Shen Cong no longer needed to rely on the mechanical bug to lead the way. His sky-eye radar found the target of this trip deep in the Apennine Mountains, close to Chenghai.
Poof!
The mechanical bug was caught by the virtual super eight-knot gold and imprisoned in the laboratory again.
The Six-Armed Tianzun-Sky Sweeper began to set off towards the target: "In the blurred vision, it was a valley. The valley was different from other places in that there were objects of special shapes piled up there, and there were small things walking. It felt like something like Mechanical bugs are the same kind of alien life."
As the distance shortens, the blurred vision gradually turns into a clear vision.
At this time, Shen Cong finally saw clearly what the goal was.
"This...is the corpse of an alien life?" His emotions fluctuated violently, but Shen Cong suppressed them severely. In a calm state, he slowly approached the remains of what looked like an alien corpse.
Overall, the alien corpse looks like a giant bug, but with a humanoid structure.
It has the same body structure as a mechanical bug, which is a structure in which metal lines are twisted together like a braid. In other words, it is very similar to human muscle structure, but more complex and entangled.
It has a head, which has no facial features, but has a pair of antennae and huge black fly eyes.
There are four wings on the back, symmetrically distributed. However, the wings have been "rotten". It is not accurate to say that they are rotten. They have been eaten, and only part of the wing roots remain.
It has a trunk, like a human trunk, but with barbs on the trunk. It also has no belly. The belly is supported by a spine-like structure and is very small.
It has hands, and its hands are as sharp as bird claws.
It has legs, but the legs are anti-jointed.
The total length of the alien corpse is about three hundred meters, which is several times larger than the Duke of Yellowstone. Many parts of the body have been eaten by mechanical bugs. There are also many mechanical bugs moving in and out around the corpse. .
"Is this an alien?" Shen Cong felt the field activity waves emitted by the alien's corpse and frowned, "A corpse, where did it come from? Why did it fall here? What happened?"
