It turns out that the duke is not human

Chapter 536 Chapter 536 Intelligent Creatures
Putting away the empty glass jar, Zhuang Shuang stared blankly at the light curtain in front of him.

A few months ago, he thought he had only a month or two to live.

It's a miracle that it lasted until now.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhuang Shuang heard Xu Tianyou's voice: "Mr. Zhuang, I brought you food."

As usual, after getting Zhuang Shuang's permission, Xu Tianyou walked in with a lunch box.

In fact, Xu Tianyou doesn't need to serve Zhuang Shuang a meal at all, this kind of thing can be left to the robot, Zhuang Shuang also reminded.

But Xu Tianyou still delivered Zhuang Shuang three meals a day on time every day.

Sometimes, when Zhuang Shuang had to work overtime in the laboratory, he would make him some supper.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Zhuang Shuang suddenly looked at Xu Tianyou who was packing up the utensils.

Since becoming Zhuang Shuang's assistant, besides delivering meals every day, Xu Tianyou has also worked hard to learn how to be a qualified assistant.

Growing up on the border, Xu Tianyou had never been in any kind of laboratory.

When he was on the planet of the Liberty Alliance, he didn't have the opportunity to touch this kind of high-end equipment.

Although the Liberty Alliance was destroyed and Xu Tianyou was "captured", he still cherishes his present life very much.

Compared to living a day-to-day life before, his life now is like a paradise.

"What did you do for a living at the border?" Zhuang Shuang asked.

There are star thieves haunting the border all year round, and there are also many anti-imperial organizations like the Freedom Alliance.

Living there is not safe at all. In addition to natural dangers, there are also man-made dangers.

Xu Tianyou lowered his head, thought for a moment before saying, "After joining the Liberty Alliance, I joined the exploration team."

"Exploration team?" Zhuang Shuang asked slightly surprised.

He didn't expect such a team to exist in the Liberty League. He thought that the Liberty League would be similar to the Star Thief.

Make a living by robbing some Exploration Squads or Reclamation Teams operating on the frontier.

"We will go to some distant planets to explore, and if we find intelligent life planets, we will send the coordinates to the boss."

Xu Tianyou said without hesitation, he didn't notice that Zhuang Shuang's face became weird.

You must know that the empire has been expanding outwards, and the empire has many exploration teams.

It is mainly to help enterprises or institutions to explore some border areas.

Whether it is the Schiller galaxy or the Rowan galaxy, the empire made up its mind to open up wasteland after a long period of exploration.

For thousands of years, the empire has never found a planet with intelligent life.

Except for their home planet, Blue Star, no intelligent life has been found on any planet known so far, except for some new species of animals.

The people or 'special groups' on all habitable planets in the current empire have immigrated from the blue star.

"It is said that someone will pay a lot of money to buy the coordinates of those planets. Most of our weapons come from this way."

Hearing this, Zhuang Shuang asked in surprise: "Have you ever discovered a planet with intelligent creatures?"

How can this be?

"Probably." Xu Tianyou scratched the back of his head, "Our team has only discovered one planet, which is inhabited by a group of strange crawling monsters that can use tools."

"Can you use tools?" Zhuang Shuang frowned.

If you can only use some ordinary tools, such as stones, sticks, etc., you cannot be regarded as intelligent creatures.

Xu Tianyou nodded vigorously: "Those monsters are very strange. Their bodies have different colors, and their whole body is covered by a translucent brown mucous membrane."

Thinking of the appearance of that monster, Xu Tianyou made a disgusted expression.

"We observed them for a long time before confirming that they are intelligent creatures."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Xu Tianyou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

After confirming that there were intelligent creatures living on that planet, the leader gave the whole team a lot of rewards. Xu Tianyou was also promoted after that discovery.

"They usually live in groups in caves, like tribes.

There are regular trades between our different tribes, and each tribe has a leader or something.

They look backward, but they use psychic power to control the movement of objects.

Because of their incredible abilities, we didn't dare to get too close at that time, and we could only observe from the starship. "

Listening to Xu Tianyou's narration, Zhuang Shuang's expression became serious.

If what Xu Tianyou said is true, then there really is a kind of intelligent creature unknown to the empire on that planet.

This is definitely a great discovery that can cause a sensation in the entire empire.

Since the empire entered the era of interstellar exploration, they have never given up on the exploration of intelligent creatures beyond the blue star.

Many scientists feel that in the vast universe, Blue Star cannot be the only planet with intelligent life forms.

However, after thousands of years of exploration and expansion, no planets inhabited by intelligent creatures have been found so far.

Even traces of civilization have not been found.

So many scientists entered the coffin with disappointment.

Now, Zhuang Shuang has a bold guess.

What if all the intelligent creatures on the planet were extinct before the empire discovered those planets with intelligent creatures?
Does that mean that apart from the blue star, there are no intelligent creatures on other planets in the interstellar world? It's just an artificial illusion?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhuang Shuang suddenly felt creepy, this guess is really crazy.

Who would do something like that?

And, why would you want to do that?
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Shuang didn't dare to think about it.

If it is true, then there is definitely a big conspiracy behind this incident.

"Do you know how many similar planets have been discovered by the Liberty Alliance?"

Only then did Xu Tianyou realize that Zhuang Shuang's expression was not right, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not knowing what he said wrong.

Under Zhuang Shuang's gaze, Xu Tianyou said cautiously: "I asked the captain of our exploration team before...

He said that the Liberty Alliance has only discovered three in the Rowan galaxy, including the planet we discovered. "

three? ! ?

Zhuang Shuang was suddenly dumbfounded.

There are three planets inhabited by intelligent creatures in the Rowan galaxy? ! ?
Zhuang Shuang stood up suddenly, grabbed Xu Tianyou's arm and ran out.

Being caught suddenly, Xu Tianyou was shocked. He subconsciously wanted to break free, but Zhuang Shuang's hand was surprisingly strong.

"Where... is this going?" Xu Tianyou asked tremblingly.

Zhuang Shuang's pace did not stop, he said with a serious expression: "Go to Major General Shu."

*
In the pitch-black space, a silver-white starship is sailing at an incredible speed.

The starship exudes a faint brilliance, and the VEX logo on the shell is particularly eye-catching.

When passing by a civilian starship, a young man pointed out the window and shouted:

"Look! That's VEX's latest long-distance starship! It's so fast!"

At this time, in the cockpit of the silver-white starship.

"Why is this starship so slow?"

　Come on, good night everyone~
