"Such a huge storm should be the atmospheric vortex I observed in space synchronous orbit?" Shen Cong quickly thought of the scene of reconnaissance from high altitude.
The atmosphere of the planet Te Ceti often erupts with large and small vortices.
This is somewhat similar to Jupiter. Jupiter is a gaseous planet in the solar system. The storms on Jupiter are very huge. The largest storm is the famous Great Red Spot.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a characteristic symbol on the surface of Jupiter and is the largest storm cyclone on Jupiter.
It is about 25,000 kilometers long and spans 12,000 kilometers up and down. It rotates counterclockwise every 6 Earth days and often rolls up cloud towers up to 8 kilometers high. Since astronomers first observed this storm in the 17th century, the Great Red Spot has been Existed for 200 to 350 years.
It has changed color and shape, but never completely disappeared.
So when he first came into contact with planet te and saw these whirlpools, Shen Cong was worried whether this was also a gaseous planet. Now he has experienced this strong storm personally and deeply felt the power of nature. This is the evolution of the universe over hundreds of millions of years. One of the many miracles that came out.
"The storm was very strong, and the soil on the surface was rolled up, but it was not strong enough to destroy the rock pillars. It seems that the rock pillars are also very eager for the storm. What is the relationship between this?"
The super-eight-knot gold cloak in a confinement shape was blown by the airflow before the storm came.
The faint blue mask flashed, and the sky-eye radar continued to extend, covering every detail in the surrounding area, waiting for the storm to come. Soon, the storm wall descended on Shen Cong's head with a devastating momentum. At this moment, the person in the storm The secret was also exposed to Shen Cong's eyes.
His light vision is blind, but his sky-eye radar is very active in storms.
Everything within a dozen kilometers cannot escape his observation.
"So it turns out that there are life forms surviving in the storm. These life forms are what the rock pillars prey on... to be precise, they prey on each other."
Shen Cong saw that in the storm, there were many rag-like living individuals. These individuals rode the extremely fast airflow of the storm, sometimes opening their tattered bodies full of holes, constantly advancing and climbing; sometimes shrinking into a ball. , falling and changing direction. Like ugly ghosts in the wind.
Such ghosts in the wind are a bit ugly, but that doesn't prevent them from blending in well with the storm.
The way to catch food is also simple.
The rag creature rushed in front of the rock pillar, opened its body, and immediately wrapped the yellow ball of light. Then it tore from the rock pillar, climbed to the height of the storm with the yellow ball of light, and swallowed it silently.
The magma creature sprays magma material. After hitting the rag creature, it can immediately wrap and squeeze the rag creature into a ball, fall to the ground, and quickly merge into the ground.
Hunting and being hunted only take a moment.
The strong storm airflow not only did not hinder the hunting, but actually increased the speed of the hunting. In almost a blink of an eye, countless yellow light balls were torn away, and countless rag creatures were pulled into the ground.
Shen Cong raised his hand and grabbed a rag creature in his hand.
The rag creature is really like a tattered rag, with no eyes, ears, mouth, nose, wings, or limbs. It only has a thick cortex of varying thicknesses, and is filled with air bubbles.
"A rag creature, at least tens of meters in size. The composition of its body has been contaminated by metallic life. But it is not a complete metallic life, but more of a non-metallic inorganic substance...probably because of the Cetus t Galaxies lack metal, resulting in insufficient development of metallic life."
There are enough metals on the earth, so all living things are metalized in a short time.
The metal content here is relatively small, and the metallization speed and process of life have been slowed down accordingly, and even incomplete development. Otherwise, there should not be complete metal life in nearly twenty years.
Tear apart the rag creature and study its internal structure.
Shen Cong discovered: "There is no brain tissue, only simple 'muscle tissue' and a divine fire system. This is another low-level creature. Unfortunately, it is impossible to guess what this creature looked like before it was contaminated."
The magma creature was judged by Shen Cong to be an incompletely developed fire spirit and not an indigenous creature.
Rag creatures are more like indigenous creatures.
"Since in addition to magma creatures, rag creatures have been discovered, it is time to establish a biological taxonomy of TE planets. Magma creatures are called magma elves, and rag creatures are called storm elves... even though they don't look the same at all. 'Elves' are fictional creatures."
Shen Cong has watched a lot of Western fantasy, and there are creatures like elves in them. They are also in the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, and there are elves in the game Warcraft.
Elves are beautiful and elegant creatures.
However, Shen Cong feels that elves have the word "spirit", which is more consistent with the spirit of fire, and is somewhat in line with the prudent and elegant nature.
"The magma elves living underground, the storm elves living in the storm, the creatures on this planet have evolved in a completely different direction from the earth. It seems that it will take me a long time to collect all the fire seed resources." Shen Cong added. He did not feel depressed, and was prepared to fight for a long time before coming.
What he fears most is the loss of direction on the path of evolution, not the effort required for evolution.
"It seems that this storm will not dissipate for a while. Me hunting the storm elves here will not be of much help to the overall situation. I should kill the magma elves as soon as possible, install the collector, and collect the fire particles. In the meantime, I will collect them again. With more than eight knots of gold, you can control more resources."
Super Eight Knot Gold is the most important resource, which is directly related to his strength.
Fire seeds are the main resource used for evolution.
He doesn't need much activated metal, just enough for him to build a new sublight speed ship.
…
The storm roared overhead.
Shen Cong continued to expand the magma channel, which was enough for him to advance to the underground magma area. This project did not last long. Today, Shen Cong is a more powerful cosmic fire than Transformers, and digging is a piece of cake.
After the tunnel is dug.
The body of the magma elf was immediately exposed to Shen Cong's eyes, which was a huge magma chamber. Feeling the rich fire energy and hostile resistance in the magma, Shen Cong plunged into it.
Entering the body of the magma elf, it is obvious that countless magma substances want to penetrate into his body and devour him.
Unfortunately, this is a useless effort.
Shen Cong kept wandering in the body of the magma elf, exploring how big the magma elf was and whether there was any core part inside. This exploration really allowed him to discover many interesting phenomena.
It turns out that the magma elf is not a separate individual.
Instead, seven individuals were mixed together.
Each individual one is roughly the size of Shanghai, criss-crossing underground.
There is an area rich in fire particles in the center of the magma elf's body. If given time, this area rich in fire particles might be able to evolve into a super brain, or the original fire. It's just a lack of metal, and certain conditions are not up to standard. , which delayed this evolution.
"Very good, if you collect the area rich in fire particles, the magma elves will definitely die, and the rest of the collection work will be simple." Shen Cong did it as he said, and immediately devoured the area rich in fire particles.
After swallowing up the area where the fire particles are enriched, it can be clearly found that although the properties of the remaining magma material have not changed much, the fire particles in it are no longer entangled with each other and become dispersed particles.
At the same time, the resistance against Shen Cong also disappeared.
In other words, the magma elf has completely become the magma on the earth, a magma that can simply absorb the energy of fire.
In the central area of each magma elf corpse, Shen Cong built a collector and a catalytic converter, and located the coordinates. Only then did Shen Cong leave the underground magma chamber where he had been swimming for nearly a week.
Get out of the magma chamber.
The storm above us continued, howling and violent.
Many storm elves were flying among them, but unfortunately they had lost their prey. Those rock pillars could no longer grow, and the yellow ball of light could no longer appear.r
