To Xiao Yu's expectation, when the distance was reduced to one decimeter, these unknown black things suddenly increased their movement speed. It took almost only an instant to cross the decimeter distance and come into contact with the robot.
Dark silver shell.
As if this robot was meat and potatoes, black waves came in one after another. Under Xiao Yu's gaze, it only took thirty seconds for this black to cover the whole body of the robot. Right here.
For a moment, Xiao Yu's mind suddenly lost the information about this robot.
The indicator light on the robot is still flashing, which proves that the instruments on the robot are still running. However, the signal is blocked.
Without Xiao Yu's command, the robot immediately stood there blankly, losing its ability to move.
Xiao Yu finally knew how the first robot disappeared. There is no doubt that these strange black creatures have extremely powerful ability to block signals.
It was at this time that Xiao Yu finally saw clearly what these black waves were.
They are countless bugs! Bugs as big as ants on the earth, endless bugs!
These bugs have flat bodies, less than one tenth of a millimeter thick, but three millimeters long and one millimeter wide. They have no legs and only rely on the wriggling of their abdomens to move forward.
But there is no doubt about one thing, they are living creatures.
Creatures on Titan! Creatures that can survive at a temperature of more than 160 degrees below zero.
Xiao Yu's head started to spin rapidly, and countless guesses flowed through Xiao Yu's head.
The robot still stood there blankly. It took five minutes before the indicator light went out.
"Insects... invaded its body and destroyed its circuits." Xiao Yu understood what happened.
"No, we can't let them get close to Base 3! Base 3 has vital rare earth veins, and the Jedi cannot give up here!" Xiao Yu made up his mind in an instant, and then, his powerful computing power began to calculate, and there were countless responses.
Plans flashed through Xiao Yu's mind, but were rejected one by one.
"No, there is too little information. I don't know their weaknesses, their evolutionary direction, or what they rely on to survive..." Xiao Yu sighed and directed the Fengshen-1 helicopter to land slowly until it was only a few inches above the ground.
Only five meters away, a robotic arm landed from below, grabbed the robot that had lost contact, and flew towards the main base. The remaining four robots immediately returned to Base Three.
Based on the distance traveled and the forward speed of these unknown creatures at five meters per minute, it is estimated that it will take about three days for these unknown creatures to approach Base No. 3. In other words, Xiao Yu has enough preparation time.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Xiao Yu can find out all the information about these creatures and find ways to deal with them within these three days.
It only took the Fengshen-1 helicopter fifteen minutes to return to the main base. What greeted it was a huge fully sealed transparent glass box. The robot was put in and sealed, and then a robot moved the box into it.
In the laboratory.
Xiao Yu immediately allocated 0.01% of his computing power and began to analyze these unknown creatures.
You know, Xiao Yu's current computing power is equivalent to more than a thousand times that of the central computer on the old spaceship. The computing power of 0.01% is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the computing power of that central computer.
.
Xiao Yu controlled a precision robot to make some slices of these unknown creatures and put them under the microscope.
"Has a basic cell structure... Well? There is no water in the cell fluid? It is actually composed entirely of liquid methane?"
This discovery shocked Xiao Yu inexplicably.
In the deep-rooted concept of human beings, we have always believed that water is closely connected with life. Without water, there would be no life.
But who would have thought that in an environment like Titan, organisms that use liquid methane instead of water could evolve?
These creatures truly subverted Xiao Yu's perception, and once again made Xiao Yu feel that the universe is so vast and full of wonders.
Xiao Yu vaguely made a guess, and then the Fengshen-1 helicopter took off again, came to Lake No. 2 next to Base No. 3, took about two liters of liquid methane samples, and returned to the main base.
Putting the liquid methane into the laboratory, Xiao Yu immediately began to analyze it.
The results of the analysis once again confirmed Xiao Yu's guess.
Xiao Yu discovered small plankton in the liquid methane. These plankton are similar to the bacteria on the earth and feed on organic matter. The difference is that the bacteria on the earth use water as the main structure. These plankton
Plankton has liquid methane as its main structure.
"These plankton breathe nitrogen and feed on organic matter... These weird black bugs feed on these plankton..."
Based on liquid methane, an ecosystem has evolved on Titan that is completely different from that on Earth.
"So, what attracted them and made them start attacking the No. 3 base?" Xiao Yu began to explore another question.
Xiao Yu already had a vague guess in his mind. So, Xiao Yu inserted a glass rod with a temperature of about minus 180 degrees into the glass box.
In the glass box, the temperature was minus 162 degrees.
Xiao Yu watched their reactions closely.
The black bugs moved away from the glass rod, as if the glass rod contained murderous poison.
Xiao Yu was thoughtful, he took out the glass rod, heated it to minus 140 degrees, and then put it back into the glass box.
Immediately, the black bugs began to move restlessly. They approached the glass rod one after another, and in just a few dozen seconds, they completely covered the glass rod. Even the temperature was one hundred and forty degrees below zero.
Heating the methane in their bodies to a boiling state, they were directly scalded to death, and they refused to let go of the glass rod.
"Avoiding the cold and tending to the heat?" Xiao Yu came to a conclusion.
"It seems that no matter where the creature is, as long as it is a creature, it cannot violate the law of conservation of energy." Xiao Yu sighed.
The answer is simple. Any living creature that can move requires energy. Because they cannot move at will without energy. In most cases, heat represents energy.
On Titan, the average temperature is more than 160 degrees below zero, and the average temperature of these black bugs is more than 150 degrees below zero.
To maintain life, they must maintain their own body temperature. Therefore, their crazy pursuit of heat constitutes their entire lives.
Therefore, Base No. 3, which generates huge amounts of heat all the time, is their ideal paradise.
Everything has been explained. What needs to be solved now is how to get rid of these bugs.
The rare earth mineral veins at Base No. 3 are too important to Xiao Yu, and there is no way that Xiao Yu will give up. Since these bugs pose a threat to Xiao Yu, the only way is to eliminate them.
Xiao Yu quickly came up with a plan. The plan was very simple: burn them to death.
The air pressure on Titan is greater than that on Earth, so the boiling point of liquid methane is higher than on Earth, about minus 152 degrees. Then, the way to kill them is very simple, just increase the temperature
When heated to the boiling point of liquid methane, the methane in their bodies will boil and they will be burned to death.
It's like putting a human being into a high-temperature container and directly heating the water in the human body until it boils.
Xiao Yu took out the bodies of all the dead insects and prepared to use X-rays to examine their bodies.
But the result once again exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations.
X-rays can't penetrate their bodies!
Xiao Yu was very interested and immediately started a series of other inspections. The results of the inspection made Xiao Yu sigh with emotion again.
"Sure enough, danger and opportunity coexist. Who would have known that the corpses of these bugs would have such strong radiation protection capabilities?"
The result of the inspection is that the radiation protection performance of these bugs is more than ten times stronger than the best radiation protection materials on the earth!
Xiao Yu laughed ferociously: "Since you dare to invade my No. 3 base, then don't blame me for using your corpses as construction materials!"
Xiao Yu quickly made an assessment of his own strength at Base No. 3.
Currently, Base 3 has fifteen flamethrower robots and twenty laser gun robots. These robots were originally used for mining, but now Xiao Yu has temporarily brought them closer to the army.
"This little defense force is not enough." Xiao Yu thought, "But now that there are creatures on Titan, the defense here at the main base cannot be relaxed. God knows if there are these bugs in Weilan Lake. So, spray
There are still a lot of muskets, and they are easy to make. We can transform 300 fire-breathing robots in one day and set off towards Base Three."
An emergency plan was formulated urgently, and one day later, three hundred fire-breathing robots carried enough fuel and set off towards Base No. 3.
Another forty-five hours later, the fire-breathing robot arrived at its destination and was ready. The construction of Base No. 3 had stopped, all non-attack forces were concentrated in several large factories, and the immovable machinery was also destroyed.
They are closed. Without heat output, they will probably not attract the attention of black bugs.
Two hundred and ninety robots formed the first line of defense, and then the remaining 45 robots surrounded the large factory building to form the second line of defense.
The Fengshen-1 helicopter assumed the role of inspector. It constantly hovered at low altitude at Base No. 3 and sent battle reports to Xiao Yu at any time for Xiao Yu to make the next decision.
After making all preparations, Xiao Yu began to quietly wait for the war to come.
