These tentacles are similar to the tentacles of the Star Beast Brood, and they are extremely tough, and even the damage caused by nuclear bombs is limited.

After Fang Yuan saw the Star Beast Mother's Hive tentacles appearing underground, he immediately used his battle armor to take pictures and send them back to the Space Fleet Headquarters.

"It looks like the tentacles of the Star Beast's Brood, but the size is far larger than the Brood I've seen before, and these tentacles are still growing, and the growth rate is very fast."

Just as Fang Yuan was reporting the situation, a black-brown tentacle in front of him had grown from three meters in diameter to thirty meters in diameter, taking root in the ground, cracking the rock into a large gap.

Fang Yuan had to retreat some distance to avoid touching this black-brown tentacle.

Then, while probing with the "high-dimensional visual eye", he reported: "After probing, I can't see the end of these brood tentacles, and I need further investigation to determine the size of the land." ”

After the report, Fang Yuan once again copied the "High-Dimensional Shuttle" and circled the ground, and then his expression became a little solemn.

"With a diameter of more than 30 kilometers and expanding outward at a rate of 1 kilometer per minute, this is the largest brood tentacle ever seen, and it is completely different from any previous brood."

Since the war with the Star Beast civilization.

The number of star beast nests I have seen has exceeded 100, and most of the star beast nests cover a diameter of about five kilometers, and the largest is ten kilometers.

However, the pile of black-brown brood tentacles seen now covers an area of more than 30 kilometers in diameter.

What's even more terrifying is that these tentacles are still growing, expanding outward at a rate of one kilometer per minute.

It's terrifying, which means that after an hour, the thing will turn into a terrifying monster with a diameter of 100 kilometers.

The biologist urgently summoned by the Tokai headquarters expressed concern: "The situation is a little wrong, from the characteristics of the star beast nest recorded in the database, there has never been a mother nest with such high activity. ”

Judging from the Star Beast Mother Nest that I have seen in the past, although the Star Beast Mother Nest is a living creature, it is basically inactive.

Moreover, the growth of the star beast mother nest is also very slow, and the star beast mother nest with a diameter of five kilometers needs at least a few years to grow.

However, the tentacles of this brood that appear now can expand outward by one kilometer in a minute, which is beyond the human understanding of the brood of the star beast.

Even beyond the understanding of living things.

No creature has ever been able to grow at such a terrifying rate.

If these brood tentacles occupy an area of only 5 kilometers in diameter, Fang Yuan can still try to solve them with a nuclear explosion, but the area is already more than 30 kilometers in diameter, then it is not something that a few nuclear bombs can solve.

Lu Xiuwen and many other professors from the Institute of Biology were urgently recruited to the Donghai headquarters.

After discussion, the countermeasure was to take a sample first and conduct a study before it could be analyzed.

According to the order of the headquarters, Fang Yuan copied the "Death Star Ion Light Knife", cut off a tissue sample of the black-brown tentacle, and sent it directly back to the Biological Research Institute for research.

The Institute of Biology had prepared for the experiment for a long time, and it only took 20 minutes to give a preliminary research report: "Silicon-based life, the cell activity is 50,000 times that of ordinary humans, so it will show such a fast growth rate." ”

Fifty thousand times the cell activity, which has reached half the level of the God of War Red Dragon.

Moreover, the god of war red dragon is only a person, but this brood tentacle is a monster that covers an area of more than 30 kilometers in diameter.

"Is there a way to destroy this thing?" Fang Yuan asked the key questions directly.

Lu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "If you ask to kill these cells, it's relatively simple, and an energy attack like a laser can solve it."

"However, it is difficult to destroy a monster with a diameter of thirty kilometers, and with the growth rate of this monster, it is impossible to kill even if it is attacked continuously with a nuclear bomb."

With a diameter of more than thirty kilometers, even if you hit dozens of nuclear bombs, it is useless.

What's more, this monster is hiding ten kilometers deep underground, and the nuclear bomb launched can't hurt it at all.

"Is there no way around it?" Fang Yuan's brows furrowed.

"It's really hard to ask how to destroy it. However, there is one thing, in this world, any life in order to grow, needs the supply of material and energy. This should be the key. ”

Lu Xiuwen analyzed while thinking: "According to our research on the cell structure, it can basically be determined that this kind of thing is very similar to the star beast mother nest, that is, the cell activity is very high. It can be called an 'active brood' for the time being. ”

Fang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Lu Xiuwen meant by matter and energy.

Matter cannot be created in a vacuum, and this "active brood" needs to grow, and it must have the substance it needs to grow.

Since it is silicon-based life, there is a large amount of silicon in the soil.

Therefore, it is possible that the "active brood" is to obtain the silicon needed for body growth from the soil.

It can get nutrients from the soil, which is very similar to that of plants.

Plants get nutrients from the soil and then get energy from sunlight to achieve the effect of growth.

However, it is impossible for the "active brood" to obtain energy from sunlight, not to mention that the little energy provided by sunlight is too small to achieve rapid growth.

Therefore, the method of obtaining energy from the "active brood" should come from the Star Source Mine, and it is a Star Source Mine with a very high content.

If it is not possible to find a way to destroy the "active brood" in a short period of time, then it should be stopped from growing in the first place.

Well, there are only two ways to either stop it from getting the substances it needs to grow, or prevent it from getting energy.

Fang Yuan immediately asked, "Near the support arm of plate 3, is there a high-content Xingyuan mine?" ”

"No, let alone the high-content Xingyuan Mine, not even the most barren Xingyuan Mine." Zhou Wensheng immediately gave an answer.

He is responsible for the exploration of the three plate support arms, and he knows very well whether there is a star source mine underground.

"In this case, the energy acquisition of the active brood is not obtained from the ore vein, but from other places......"

Fang Yuan thought about it and made a judgment: "The Star Beast Civilization must continue to send a large amount of growth energy to the 'Active Brood' in order to maintain the rapid growth of the 'Active Brood'.

"The work of destroying the 'active brood' can be done slowly, but it must be stopped from growing first. I have applied to carry out this mission to cut off the energy supply to the 'active brood'. ”

The front staff quickly discussed it and quickly gave an answer: "Approve the application for the operation." ”

Fang Yuan returned to the Shenzhou and ordered the Shenzhou to lower its altitude, monitor energy fluctuations, and find a way for the Star Beast Civilization to supply energy to the "Active Brood".
