Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 524

The explorer shook violently. Although the condensed matter shield resisted the impact of the high-energy particle flow, this sudden movement of thousands of kilometers caused the inside of the explorer's cabin to shake violently.

Especially those unfixed items and crew members were directly thrown into the mess, and the inside of the battleship was a mess.

"Calm down, the enemy can't break through our defense, prepare to counterattack." Ma Wu calmly stood in the cockpit and ordered loudly.

"Captain, there are 11 damaged lines or pipelines on the Explorer."

"A mining ship collided with the ship's bulkhead..."

"Justice, you are responsible for the internal damage management of the explorer." Ma Wu turned his head and ordered.

"Yes." Masayoshi Kobayashi saluted immediately, and then went into damage management and disposal work.

Ma Wu was about to say something...

[Alarm, Exploration Satellite KT02 has been destroyed... Exploration Satellite KT06 has been destroyed...]
"Captain, this is the data sent back from the remaining 6 exploration satellites. The thing that attacked us just now is this ghost thing." Fang Haibo said hastily.

Ma Wu and Zhang Handong looked at the partially enlarged image on the holographic star map, and suddenly became a little surprised. This thing is a bit like a millipede, but it is very huge. According to the data, it is more than 16 kilometers long and at least 0.8 kilometers wide.

However, it is not uncommon for Ma Wu and others to have seen such a large creature. It is even larger than the two mobile fortress beasts on Mars.

But Ma Wu and others were more surprised by the energy. This alien millipede can burst out a huge energy of 124 million loads, and direct the energy to attack the explorer. It can be seen that this monster not only has high energy , and have a certain intelligence.

"Captain, what should we do now? Direct attack?" Fang Haibo asked.

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "Hai Bo operates the explorer, and we retreat to a distance of 3 kilometers from Zhuyin Star, and then we can make a long-term plan."

"Okay." Fang Haibo and a group of pilots immediately operated the explorer to retreat, and Masayoshi Kobayashi on the other side was also quickly repairing and sorting out the damage inside the explorer.

While Ma Wu continued to look at the holographic star map, he operated the remaining exploration satellites, focusing on the situation of the alien millipedes, and Zhang Handong also helped analyze the data.

"This millipede and the alien jellyfish seem to be in a symbiotic relationship." Zhang Handong said, pointing to some partially enlarged images.

In the video, Millipede has many holes on its large body, and countless alien jellyfish are coming in and out, but Millipede doesn't feel the same about these alien jellyfish.

In this case, only a parasitic or symbiotic relationship can be explained.

"After the millipede launched a high-energy particle attack, the energy response level of its body has dropped a lot, and it is only about 2 to 4 loads at present." Ma Wu touched his chin and said.

"From the analysis results, this millipede should have the ability to absorb the energy of the earth's core." Zhang Handong said, pointing to the millipede that was rolling in the magma.

Ma Wu nodded: "The creatures on this planet seem to have the property of absorbing energy. I am sitting in the cockpit. Committee member Zhang, I would like to trouble you to go and see the situation of the scientific research team."

"No problem, leave it to me." Zhang Handong turned around and floated towards the cabin where the scientific research team was located.

As a warship, although the weapons and equipment occupy a lot of space, as a warship, the Explorer is also a long-distance scientific research ship, equipped with all kinds of scientific research equipment.

As soon as Zhang Handong walked into the scientific research cabin, Meeks, Toyoda Ashikaga, and Li Heng were discussing about alien jellyfish and millipedes.

"Three doctors, do you have any clues about these alien creatures?" Zhang Handong asked.

Meeks thought for a while and replied: "I have figured out some situations, mainly about alien jellyfish. As for the situation of millipedes, we can only conduct preliminary analysis based on the data we have collected."

"The energy-eating ability of alien jellyfish is unquestionable. They are a typical silicon-based organism, and they belong to the same biological system as mechanical beasts. For the time being, we will call them..." Li Heng called out the hologram as he spoke. projection.

[Silicon-based system - energy devouring family - red-striped jellyfish]
[Silicon-based system - energy devouring family - lava millipede]

"Silicon-based organisms?" Zhang Handong carefully looked at the analysis report.

Li Heng pointed to the information on the holographic projection and explained: "That's right, they are silicon-based organisms. Silicon-based organisms are different from carbon-based organisms. They have three special features. First, the gene chain is a quadruple helix; Metal content, generally the metal content in the body is between 20 and 70; third, there are wisdom core and energy core.”

"Since it is a silicon-based creature, can the mechanical beast control technology of the Sous civilization work on red-striped jellyfish and lava millipedes?" Zhang Handong asked with an idea.

"Theoretically, it is feasible, but this is the first time we have encountered this wild silicon-based creature. How to subdue it, we need to discuss it with the Herik Republic." Li Heng nodded and replied.

Toyota Ashikaga floated over: "I have just contacted the staff of the scientific research department, and soon the scientific research personnel of the Herik Republic will..."

[There is a holographic communication request from the Martian Territory of the Heric Republic. ]
"Connected." Toyota Ashikaga nodded in agreement.

The holographic projections of several Soth researchers appeared in front of everyone.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lei Li. We've checked the information you sent, and I didn't expect you to discover a new silicon-based biological group." Lei Li, the leading Sothian researcher, was very excited.

"I don't know, can we use the method of controlling mechanical beasts to control the two silicon-based creatures we just discovered?" Li Heng asked straight to the point.

Raleigh explained: "It depends on the situation. We have studied the mechanical beasts for a long time before we figured out the control situation, and the energy devourers have just been discovered. We need to obtain enough data, preferably genetic samples, so that we can The characteristics of silicon-based organisms can be analyzed in reverse."

"Okay, we will arrange personnel to obtain genetic samples as soon as possible." Li Heng nodded.

After a group of people discussed for half an hour, they left the meeting to prepare.

Zhang Handong hurriedly told Ma Wu about capturing live red-striped jellyfish and extracting lava millipede genes. Ma Wu turned his head and picked up the communicator: "Sergeant Lin Zhiqiu, your first combat team, get ready and go to the Candle Yin star." Catch a live Rhodophyllus jellyfish, and look for a chance to get a genetic sample of a lava millipede."

"receive."

The first combat team took a Sunsun-class destroyer to go to Candle Yin Star. Given that the lava millipede has a certain intelligence, the Sun-Survivor-class destroyer did not directly land on the A8A9 area of ​​​​Zu Yin Star, but chose to take a detour to Candle Yin Star Area A2 on the back.

Of course, Lin Zhiqiu didn't take it lightly even if he made a detour to the back. After all, they still don't know how many weird creatures there are in Candle Yin Star.

In addition, the Explorer, which is 3 kilometers away from Candle Yin Star, has also raised its vigilance. If the first combat team that lands has a problem, they will immediately go to the rescue as quickly as possible.

The Chaser-class destroyer walked around the front of the Candle Yin star, dropped 6 exploration satellites to supplement it, and then prepared to land in the A2 area of ​​the Candle Yin star.
