"It's different? What's the difference?" Vivian raised her head and glanced at Hao Ren, "Because the one in front of me is a larva?"
"It's not just a larvae," Hao Ren looked at the surrounding tentacles and remains of biological tissue. "The eldest son we saw in the dream plane is closer to a certain kind of plant, and has accurately differentiated into various functions, such as in the woods on the surface and in the rock formations.
It has tentacles, a 'heart' buried underground, and various ganglia. But the one in front of you looks like it is incompletely evolved, giving the impression that it is just an embryo."
Next to him, Nangong Wuyue also added: "And how this thing came from the dream plane to this world is also a big problem."
Hao Ren raised his head and looked around the hall. This is the center of the spaceship. There are many passages around that lead to unknown places. The tentacles of the "Eldest Son" spread out along those passages. It is estimated that it can be found in other places.
Some organs. He thought for a while and decided to search separately: "Let's act separately. It will be more efficient. If we find any situation, we will contact each other immediately."
Everyone had no objections, and they were finally divided into groups. Lily was in a group with Hao Ren, Yizhaks was in a group with his daughter and La Nina, and Vivian was in a group with Nangong Wuyue. The three groups were rigorously guessing coins.
After making fists and turning sticks, they determined three directions and left the hall separately.
Lily held the fire gun and happily opened the way in front of her. At this time, she was not afraid of the fun. Hao Ren followed the husky girl behind, carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation as they moved forward. After they left the hall, they had already
After exploring for a long distance, we found some empty cabins, but the cabins were either empty or only had ordinary tentacles, which were basically of little value.
Lily was very interested. She picked up any rare things in the spaceship and stuffed them into her pockets. Before she had gone far, all the pockets on her body were already stuffed. In the end, she could only put them in Hao Ren's personal space.
After dumping the goods, Wang Zhi's treasure reserves increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hao Ren looked at the girl and was a little confused: "How many stones you collect can still be regarded as a rare stone appreciation. What's the point of picking up scraps of iron?"
Lily looked serious: "It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, take it back to the nest first. This is the common sense of werewolves!"
Hao Ren: "..." The werewolves in Lily's concept must include the sled pullers in the Arctic Circle...
The two of them walked forward while chatting, and finally found an empty room. The door to the room was almost completely blocked by tentacles. Without Hao Ren's instructions, Lily waved her claws and happily cut grass.
After cleaning up the dry and decaying remains, Hao Ren held up the data terminal and took a picture of the room: "It doesn't seem like much... Wait a minute! There is something!"
The faint blue light of the data terminal swayed in the room. Suddenly a reflective object caught Hao Ren's attention. He quickly floated in and dug out the thing from a pile of vines, and found that he had read it correctly: it was a
It's a small device and looks to be in good condition.
The two of them had already felt something was wrong along the way, because there was basically nothing in the rooms they passed except tentacles. The huge spaceship looked as clean as if it had just left the factory. It gave people the impression that there was no sudden disaster here.
Instead, they conducted an orderly evacuation. And now they finally found something interesting.
The small device was only the size of a palm and shaped like an oval pancake. The surface was smooth, but there were no buttons visible. Hao Ren asked the data terminal to identify it: "What do you think this is?"
The data terminal floated over and scanned it: "It seems to be a foreign friend of this machine..."
"What?"
"Oh, I said this thing seems to be a data processing device. It's similar to a pda, but I don't know which civilization made it."
Hao Ren suddenly became excited: "Can it be read?"
"This is very difficult." The data terminal circled the small device twice and went up to touch the shell of the device. "Hey, hey, buddy, where are the survivors?"
After touching it for a few times, there was no movement. The data terminal shook its body regretfully: "The ball is dead."
Hao Ren took out an alloy brick from his pocket and looked at the data terminal: "If you try again, believe it or not, I'll give you a crisp one? Do you want to compare the hardness with professional bricks?"
The data terminal suddenly scurried back to the small device: "Isn't this machine going to relax the atmosphere? Don't panic, wait for this machine to do a physical hard read..."
As it spoke, it clung to the ancient device that had been scrapped for who knows how many thousands of years. It emitted a faint blue light and began to decipher any information that might remain inside the latter. Because it was difficult to determine the storage of this thing.
Mechanism and structure, the data terminal was slowly moving while reading. Lily looked at this scene and touched her chin thoughtfully: "..."
Hao Ren slapped Lily on the head: "You can't be simple in your thoughts!!"
Lily covered her head and looked at Hao Ren aggrievedly: "I'm quite pure, but you can't stop me from reading a lot of books, right?"
Hao Ren suddenly felt that he realized the cultural differences between himself and the monster girl again.
While the data terminal was busy, it silently listened to these two unscrupulous people discussing moral issues. It couldn't help but muttered: "That's about it. This machine doesn't even have four sets of redundant processors for this kind of thing."
I am not interested in the short and poor equipment. What this machine yearns for is the kind of bold and unrestrained host that is full of processing cores, full of expansion slots, and uses sixteen threads - of course, it is best to be on a battleship...
"
Hao Ren was surprised to find that there were cultural differences between him and his PDAs!
At this time, the data terminal seemed to have finally scanned something, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, it's really true. The performance of this thing is not good, but the memory is really strong, and a small part of the data is actually saved!"
Hao Ren's eyes suddenly gleamed: "Let it out quickly, let it out quickly!"
The data terminal is processing data: "Wait a minute, this machine is translating. By the way, put the useless information aside——?"
Hao Ren looked at his eyes, his nose, his mouth and his heart. The Prime Minister solemnly raised the alloy bricks: "Do you want a loud one or a crisp one?"
The data terminal trembled and quickly released the processed document: "Let me show it to you. This should be the log left by the crew of the spaceship. The things mentioned in it are probably the 'eldest son' who eroded the ship."
The log has been translated. The most valuable parts have been intelligently intercepted. Hao Ren and Lily quickly read it carefully:
"Log one... Keywords: cruise record.
"We have been in this galaxy for six months and have discovered a large number of star systems and habitable planets with life. This should be a prosperous place where life thrives. We have been busy recording coordinates and collecting planet data these past few days.
It's a bit boring, but it makes people feel happy every time they discover a planet with life. Those creatures called 'demons' are very concerning. They are highly intelligent, but have bad tempers and seem to be unable to negotiate. Maybe this is related to their survival.
Is it related to the harsh environment? Those planets are indeed not very suitable for survival. This is the first time I have seen creatures that can move in magma."
"Diary 2, keyword: unexpected disaster.
"...An unbelievable accident happened. I should be grateful that I am still alive...Blessed by the wind in my hometown, I don't know how long this ship can last! A huge...weird thing suddenly appeared in space and hit the spacecraft,
It contains incomprehensible energy. At the moment of contact, it overloaded the shield system of the spacecraft and almost broke the ship. Now that weird ball is still stuck in the central Gnaku. It’s unbelievable.
, a ball of several hundred meters actually exploded a large hole more than ten kilometers wide, which should be related to some kind of space phenomenon. A serious gas leak occurred in the spacecraft. Thousands of people were killed or missing. The emergency control device has been successfully
The gas leak and spreading fire were prevented, but we may not be able to repair the spacecraft."
"Diary Three, Keywords: Growth. Weird.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Unbelievable! I can only express my surprise like this. I am a biologist and have spent my life studying the creatures in the universe. But I have never thought about the spacecraft that crashed into Gurna
Ku's sphere is actually some kind of life! Yesterday it was just a sphere, but today its surface is cracked. Something strange is growing out of it... I'm sure it's a sign of life. It spans space
, survive in the universe, with incomparable power, why does such a thing exist in the world? Today the people on the spacecraft held a meeting to discuss what to do with the ball. Some people suggested throwing it back into space, but soon we
We found that this is simply impossible. The ball has "taken root" on our spacecraft, and its powerful supernatural power has prevented some more violent tests. Now we can only watch it lying there and pray.
It shouldn't do any harm.
"Another: The navigators also discovered a bad situation. For some unknown reason, the space around the spacecraft seems to be closed. We seem to be temporarily trapped in a warp space bubble. The only good thing now is that the technicians seem to
The hyperspace module that can repair those escape boats, they seem to be planning to evacuate, maybe I should study what is growing in that sphere before that."
"Diary four, keyword: mild seeds.
"I have been dealing with the weird creature that is growing rapidly in the ball these past few days. It is very gentle to my surprise. Although we still cannot communicate with each other smoothly, it seems to realize that it is on someone else's spacecraft, so
It cautiously slowed down its expansion speed. If I guessed correctly, it should have also tried to express its apology to me - of course, others didn't care about my little discovery. They were busy investigating the space mutation. The spaceship
The situation is more serious than expected."
Hao Ren was stunned when he saw this and couldn't help but raise his head: "The word 'eldest son' here is very gentle?!"
Lily's expression was as silly as Hao Ren's. She recalled the violent tentacle monster in the dream plane. The hair on her tail suddenly trembled and she shook her head vigorously: "How can it be gentle! I almost let it eat it!"
At this time, the number of logs extracted from the data terminal was still increasing. Hao Ren temporarily put aside the huge confusion in his heart and continued to study the next records.
"Log five, keyword: spatial mutation.
"I really want to continue recording about that 'space ball', but today I have to record a worse situation: within the detectable range. The structure of space seems to have been changed.
"It is now certain that the spacecraft is trapped in a weird situation like a warped bubble, and the surrounding space has been closed. It is as if the entire universe has suddenly shrunk to a diameter of only 10 million kilometers. The probe that was released encountered
The closed space wall keeps flying in one direction and then returns from the other end of the space. The technicians calculated the circulation paths of these detectors. Finally, it was determined that the center of this closed space is our spacecraft. What happened? The entire
Has the universe collapsed with us at the center? In any case, technicians are still looking for the cause of the mutation, but I am not very optimistic."
"Log Six, Keyword: None.
"We know so little about the universe.
"That strange spherical creature - I can only call it that now - it seems to be the source of everything. The technicians analyzed the instrument records when the spherical creature suddenly appeared near the spacecraft, and they were surprised to find that it was not ordinary.
It is a space jump in the sense, but a more peculiar teleportation phenomenon. Records show that when the ball appeared, many nearby natural laws were distorted, as if the ball came from a universe completely different from ours.
It's the same thing that fell in. It may be that this 'travel' behavior caused a disorder in the laws of space, causing us to be trapped in a closed space bubble. But fortunately, there are signs that this space is not completely sealed.
.Some unstable teleportation points can be opened at fixed locations, and technicians are testing this opening rule."
"Log 7, keywords: bubble, spread.
"We finally confirmed the situation outside, and the 'outside' here refers to the situation outside the space bubble.
"Things are even stranger than we imagined. There is a weird atmosphere lingering in the spacecraft, and everyone is very uneasy. It is obvious that huge changes have taken place outside the space bubble in the past period of time, and we have never known anything about it: outside
The spatial structure has been torn apart.
"Technicians opened several portals to the outside world. The probe successfully traveled through and returned, and the news it brought back was surprising. There are also space bubbles outside - one after another, connected by hyperspace channels.
, each enclosed warped space. None of the detectors found the shadow of the starry sky. Perhaps the entire universe has mutated? No one knows what the real situation is.
"It's like a basin of calm water was added with a foaming agent and then stirred wildly. Now the universe outside us is completely different from the world we know. The continuous visible and accessible space has been shattered. The cause of all this
...It's just a seed, maybe a seed from other parallel universes.
"It is still growing. Although it has slowed down, it has completely occupied the middle section of the spacecraft. And it is spreading to the power core. I still believe that its nature is gentle, but its life instinct is gradually disintegrating our
spaceship.
"A group of soldiers tried to destroy those tentacles and achieved some results, but it was meaningless. The mental state of those soldiers became abnormal after they came back. It is estimated that there will be no new 'weeding operation'. This morning,
I found some small bumps in the corner of my cabin, probably the tentacles are about to grow here."
"Log eight, keyword: none.
"We finally decided to abandon the ship, including the 'spherical creature' that had become completely symbiotic with the ship. Oh, it is no longer a ball, it is now like a forest, spreading in half of the spacecraft cabin.
"Technical staff roughly predicted a space model. They believed that the area where changes occurred should be limited. The laws of the universe will smooth out the intrusion of external information. The space bubble phenomenon is probably such a 'cosmic self-healing means'. We have enough
The small spaceship is available for evacuation. According to the route speculated by the technicians, as long as we keep jumping between space bubbles according to certain rules, we can leave this weird star area.
"The ball creature seemed to know that we were about to leave, and it expressed some kind of 'regret' emotion. I don't know how to tell others how I communicated with that weird creature: it was a spiritual connection, probably because
I live so close to one of its ganglia that I can hear it in my sleep.
"It said that it cannot leave this place. This is a failed sowing. It will continue to grow here and at least complete its mission of 'first-generation incubation'. If it has the remaining energy, it plans to evolve a short-lived one within its coverage area."
A small ecological circle. I don’t quite understand what it means, but it seems that some more powerful higher creature created it and let it perform a task similar to seeding life. In any case, our impact on the universe is
We know too little.”
The log ends here.
Hao Ren and Lily looked at each other. What this diary revealed turned out to be so important, far beyond Hao Ren's initial expectations.
It seems like a lot of problems are suddenly solved!
Of course, there are also a lot of problems that suddenly pop up.
Lily stretched out her paws and scratched the wall. While scratching, she murmured: "How old must this ship be... Was the space bubble smashed out?"
"It has been detected." The data terminal floated in front of the two of them, "I'm going to shock you - after converting the time scale, this ship was abandoned at least 200,000 years ago."
Hao Ren didn't react immediately: "Oh, two hundred thousand years...what?!"
"Two hundred thousand years ago, two hundred thousand years ago in the dream plane," the voice of the data terminal was very serious, "this amount of information is huge..."
Hao Reng was about to say something more when he suddenly heard Vivian's voice coming from the communicator: "Landlord! We found some weird things here!"
(I couldn’t update because I had something to do tonight, so I thought about it and merged the two chapters into one and posted it.) (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
