Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 97 Hybrid Beast
The warehouse is not only a storage and transshipment center, but also a fully automatic production workshop.The ground part is a warehouse for storing grain, while the production workshop for processing grain is underground.They are all military equipment, which not only operate fully automatically, but also process various ingredients into military rations that can be stored for a long time.An automated assembly line can process thousands of tons of grain a day, and there are hundreds of them here.

Because it is an automated assembly line, there are no workers in the workshop.

There is no doubt that the Luo family is expanding its armaments, otherwise there would be no need to produce so many military rations.

After the six people dispersed, they walked around the workshop.

"Did you find it?"

"Found what?"

Yang Yi glanced at the others before saying, "Even if these production lines run at full speed, they cannot process all the grains that come in."

"It's true. The daily processing capacity is only about [-] tons, and the daily grain shipments reach hundreds of thousands of tons."

"What about the extra food?"

Jackson shook his head slightly, but he couldn't figure it out either.

"Look carefully." Lin Feng let out a long breath and said, "All the food is here. If it has not been processed into rations, it must have been sent to other places through other channels."

Without further ado, everyone scattered to search again.

This time, everyone was more careful and paid special attention to the raw material entrance of the production line.

Soon, Justin made a discovery.

The grain packed in the container is all prepared according to the ratio of processed rations, and then sent to the production line.It's just that all production lines consume much more raw materials than the rations produced.Although there is some loss in processing and production, it will not be too large, and it is impossible to increase it several times.

The raw material entrance is actually a huge funnel. The prepared ingredients are put in sequentially according to the program settings, and when they come out of the production line, they become military rations.Because the ingredients need to be cleaned before processing to remove impurities and defective products, there is a special channel for waste discharge under the funnel.On a standard production line, this aisle leads to a set of waste-handling equipment.Food materials that cannot be processed into military rations will not be wasted, but will be produced into feed and fertilizer.It's just that on all the production lines here, the passages for discharging waste are connected to the ground.That is, the waste is not processed into feed and fertilizer, but is stored somewhere underground.

The secret lies underground in the production workshop.

After trying to shut down a production line, Yang Yi got in first.

The diameter of the raw material inlet is more than 15 meters, allowing a container to pass through, let alone several people.Even the channels for discharging waste are several meters thick, equivalent to the sewers in big cities.The passage continued downwards, and after more than ten minutes of drilling, Yang Yi stopped.

Ahead is a gate, controlled by a pressure-sensing device.

Only after enough waste has accumulated does the gate open to let the waste out.

However, this gate is very unique. It is made of high temperature resistant alloy, at least one meter thick, and its strength is no less than that of a heavy tank.

Could it be that all waste is incinerated because feed and fertilizer are not needed?
If so, there is a huge incinerator under the gate.

Yang Yi was very surprised, and turned his head to look at Lin Feng and the others.

Although the materials are extremely rich and the waste is very serious, accompanied by a large amount of garbage, burning garbage will seriously damage the environment. Not to mention in the home galaxy, even in the colonial planet, garbage is rarely incinerated.Most of the waste is recycled in a pollution-free manner. For example, food waste mainly composed of organic matter is processed into fertilizer, and waste mainly composed of inorganic matter is disposed of in landfill.

As early as thousands of years ago, the Human Federation stopped burning garbage.

"Go down and have a look." Lin Feng said.

"Get ready."

Without further ado, Yang Yi drove the "source of life" to create an energy barrier.Although the protective clothing can withstand the high temperature of [-] degrees Celsius, the temperature in the incinerator is likely to be above [-] degrees Celsius. Yang Yi does not want to be incinerated garbage.

When the others were ready, Yang Yi leaned against the gate and began to push the gate.

With Yang Yi's strength, the gate slammed open.Yang Yi was taken aback when a heat wave hit his face, but soon found that the temperature of the heat wave was not as high as expected, only a few hundred degrees Celsius.It was only later that it became clear that there was not a burning road under the gate, but a huge cave.

"Everyone be careful."

Yang Yi reacted quickly, stopped the falling momentum, and grabbed No. 11 at the same time.Behind him, Lin Feng grabbed NO.[-].

Among the six, No. 11 and No. 11 are the weakest.Although after coming out of the "Kuhn-Balion Fortress", Yang Yi selected two of the original energy converters presented by Gong Baixu and gave them to No. 11 and NO. The qualification of the reconnaissance brigade, but limited by the level of the original body, No. [-] has only reached the level of a fourth-level soldier, and the combat power of No. [-] is only equivalent to a third-level soldier.

In addition, neither of them has a good understanding and mastery of original energy.

"What is this place?"

"look down."

After Yang Yi reminded, Lin Fengcai looked down.

The cave is hemispherical and extremely huge.At the top is a huge artificial light source, and the exit of the passage that Yang Yi and the others came in is halfway up the cave.Below the crowd is a huge breeding ground, with hundreds of thousands of large and small pens suspended in the air and surrounded by fences.

It's just that what is raised is not livestock, but a red beast.

Silicon Beast! ?
Not only Yang Yi was extremely shocked, but Lin Feng and others were no exception.

Although in the Human Federation, and even the entire Milky Way Federation, there are many wealthy people who keep small silicon beasts as pets, and some underground organizations use large silicon beasts for gladiatorial battles, but the animals in the corral below are not small silicon beasts, all of them are huge, Very aggressive beast!
At this time, a small robot flew over, flew around Yang Yi and the others, and then flew away.

"there!"

Receiving Jackson's reminder, Yang Yi looked forward to the left.

A gate opened, and some huge orbs rolled out of the passage.When the ball was falling, a group of small robots flew over and cut the ball into small pieces with high-energy lasers, and then each small robot flew to the corral below with a few small pieces.

Balls are fodder! ?

That's right, it is indeed feed, and it is processed feed.

Raise silicon beasts with the feed that carbon-based life only needs! ?

You should know that because the life structure is different, the food structure of carbon-based life and silicon-based life is completely different, and the only thing that is the same is trace elements.If those feeds are trace elements necessary for the growth of silicon beasts, there are really too many, and it is a waste.

"The temperature is less than [-] degrees Celsius." Justin said something and reminded Yang Yi and others.

"Go, go down and have a look."

What Justin said made Yang Yi suddenly think that those wild beasts raised in captivity may not be silicon beasts, at least not pure-blooded silicon beasts.It's very simple, the environment temperature suitable for the survival of silicon beasts must be above [-] degrees Celsius, and some large silicon beasts can only be active in an environment above [-] degrees Celsius.Even small silicon beasts can only grow normally if the temperature is high enough.

Five hundred degrees Celsius is obviously too cold for the silicon beast.

After approaching, Yang Yi discovered that the fences for captive wild animals are made of original energy, which are not only very strong, but also cause electric shocks if they are directly touched.

The entire cave is a breeding ground, but there are no keepers, and all the beasts are looked after by robots.

"Brother, these are not silicon beasts."

Yang Yi nodded, and he also saw that the captive beasts were not silicon beasts, to be precise, not purebred silicon beasts, but a life form between carbon-based life and silicon-based life.

Who made it?
Yang Yi heaved a sigh of relief and nodded towards Jackson.

Without asking any further questions, Jackson rushed into a corral and killed the beast inside with three strikes.

This is a beast with a height of more than ten meters and a weight of more than twenty tons. It looks like an enlarged version of a brown bear, and its body is covered with rock scales.

After Jackson cut open the beast's body, Yang Yi's guess was confirmed.

The beast's skin is a rock in a semi-molten state, with a large number of blood vessels distributed underneath, and the inside is liquid magma, which provides heat.Further down, there is a layer of supercavitation tissue that is tens of centimeters thick and looks like foam, which has a cushioning effect and can also isolate high temperature.Below this layer of tissue are muscles, blood vessels, bones, and internal organs, and they are typical physiological structures of carbon-based life.The only difference is that this beast has two hearts and two sets of blood circulation systems, one of which sends high-temperature blood to the epidermis, and the other sends low-temperature blood to muscles, internal organs and other organs. The two blood circulation systems are clearly separated.

"Brother, look here." Jackson opened the beast's mouth, revealing the beast's teeth.

Yang Yi took a closer look, and his brows were locked together.

The beast's teeth are high-strength alloys that don't look like they grew naturally.In addition, the bones and claws of the beast are also high-strength alloys.

In other words, this is not only a hybrid beast, but also transformed by humans.

"Why did the Luo family cultivate such a hybrid beast?"

"It's not a beast." Yang Yi shook his head slightly, and said to Lin Feng, "It's a domesticated beast, or a machine for killing."

"You mean..."

"Using domesticated wild silicon beasts for war is a tradition of the Silicon Magic Alliance, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. The Luo family has cultivated so many hybrid silicon beasts, it must be imitating the Silicon Magic Alliance and preparing to use these beasts in war." Yang Yichang Exit. "I'm afraid this is the purpose of the Luo family's occupation of Shennong Planet."

"Only Shennong planet has enough food to feed so many hybrid beasts."

Yang Yi nodded, indicating that was exactly what he meant.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lin Feng said at this time, "The Luo family has been here for less than a month, and it is impossible to cultivate so many hybrid silicon beasts."

Yang Yi nodded again, he also thought of this question.

It was at this time that trouble came.
