Chapter 244, Silicon-Based Life
New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
In the empty and dark cosmic void between the Jadeite Galaxy and the Milky Way galaxy for 12 million light-years, a fleet is constantly moving towards the Milky Way through space jumps in the void.
This fleet is not large, only tens of thousands of space warships, but all space warships are very advanced, and each space jump can cross a distance of thousands of light years.
"There are still about ten years to go back to the galaxy, and more than 100 years have passed in a flash, and I didn't expect the mission to be so smooth, and it can be said that the mission was completed without much effort."
Among the many space warships, Sun Xinyuan, who was in charge of commanding this fleet, looked in the direction of the Milky Way, and across the distant void, the Milky Way looked just a laughing bright spot in the dark starry sky.
More than 100 years ago, he was ordered to lead a team to the Jade Galaxy to steal silicon-based genes, originally thought it would be a very difficult task, who knew that it was very simple, after a hundred years of sailing, successfully resisted the Jade Galaxy, witnessed the prosperity and strength of the Jade Galaxy, and at the same time easily completed the task assigned by Li Fu.
Thinking of this mission, Sun Xinyuan's huge divine sense covered a space battleship, and in this space battleship, in a huge warehouse, a special cage imprisoned a number of strange creatures, these creatures have various shapes, but most of them are spherical.
Some of the creatures are very large, and there is only one such creature in a huge warehouse, like a huge mountain, and for the sake of safety, these huge creatures have been hypnotized by the Yuanli warriors and fallen into a deep sleep.
Although the size and shape of these creatures are very different, all of them have one thing in common, all of these creatures are silicon-based creatures, and their appearance is all made of some rocks, dirt, sand, etc., which looks a bit like cracked earth, pieces of it, but they are not scattered on the ground.
These silicon-based creatures are larger, all shrunk into a spherical shape and fall into a deep sleep, while the smaller ones are very irritable as they rush from side to side and fly up and down in cages, apparently losing their freedom, which is also a very irritable thing for them.
Most of these strange silicon-based creatures have a large number of tentacles, and when they sleep, these tentacles will all shrink, and the whole shape looks like a sphere, and when they move, the tentacles swing in the void, which is very flexible.
"Sonorous"
The sound of metal knocking sounded in the warehouse where these silicon-based lives were held, and suddenly, the originally quiet warehouse began to become lively.
One by one, the sleeping balls that were originally quietly suspended in the air began to wake up, and tentacles stretched out from them, waving them in the air at will, and then hurriedly rushed to the door of the cage, looking at the direction of the passage with jewel-like eyes, looking very excited and anxious.
As for those who hadn't slept in the first place, they were even more excited, and hurriedly looked at the entrance of the passage, as if they were waiting for something.
Some figures flew in lightly, each of them pushing a large number of metal rods, metal balls, metal blocks, and other things, for the empire that had already mastered the gravity generation technology, every space battleship was standard, but here, gravity was not turned on, these carbon-based creatures have lived in space for a long time, and they don't like the environment with gravity.
Of course, even if the gravity generation device is turned on, these silicon-based creatures can be generated in the same way, but the journey is long, and in order to improve the survival rate, the gravity generation device is turned off in the warehouse where these silicon-based creatures are kept.
Seeing the metal rods, metal balls, metal blocks and the like in front of these people, these silicon-based creatures were even more excited, waving their tentacles one by one, and their eyes showed a look of longing.
"Let's eat!"
Shen Chao threw a metal rod into a cage and said with a smile at these silicon-based creatures, he was one of the many breeders who were responsible for taking care of the diet of these silicon-based creatures.
"It's still strange enough, these silicon-based creatures like to eat metal like no, all kinds of metals, as long as they throw it in, they will definitely eat it."
Watching the strange silicon-based creature in the cage encircle the metal rod with its tentacles, and then very directly threw the metal rod into its mouth at once, and then contracted into a round ball and began to digest it, Shen Chao couldn't help but shake his head and said to the colleagues around him.
"Metal packages are their favorite, these silicon-based life forms that can live in space, metal substances can strengthen their bodies, and can also promote their growth, in order to eat metal, but they hollow out asteroids, planets, etc."
Yang Qiming next to him remembered the scene he saw when he captured these silicon-based lifeforms, which were not common in the Jade-based galaxy, and there were only a few powerful level 5 cosmic civilizations that kept some silicon-based lifeforms in captivity.
In some prosperous galaxies, the void of the entire galaxy is full of silicon-based life, ranging from super-large silicon-based life that is as large as a planet, to groups of silicon-based life that are small in size, and all silicon-based life has one characteristic, they like to eat metal.
Large silicon-based life often directly swallows asteroids, meteorites, etc., and then shrinks into a spherical shape to digest it slowly, while small silicon-based life is a group of asteroids, meteorites, planets, etc. are hollowed out, and the metal elements on them are swallowed up.
"Knort"
Pieces of metal balls, metal rods, metal blocks are thrown into cages, all the silicon-based creatures that get food are very satisfied, there is a single prisoner who directly swallows the metal, turns into a ball and begins to sleep while digesting these metals, there are groups of prisoners, there is a fierce competition between each other, you take a bite, I take a bite, these metal balls, metal rods and other things seem to have no hardness at all, like tofu, very casual can gnaw a large piece.
"These metals are specially made by us according to their preferences, with a variety of metallic elements added to them, and they are refined, which these silicon-based life likes the most."
"Instead of eating dirt and rocks, we rely on ourselves to refine the metals in the soil and rocks, and the metals we feed them are the best delicacy for them."
The keepers in charge of feeding this warehouse talked and laughed with each other, most of the silicon-based creatures are intellectually low, rely on instinct to move, and like to eat metal, so it is very simple to raise, and as long as they are full, these silicon-based creatures are very quiet.
Although most of the silicon-based organisms are relatively large, they are generally at least about ten meters in diameter, and even small silicon-based organisms are more than one meter in diameter.
However, the food consumption of these silicon-based creatures is not large, and a small metal block of only a few dozen catties is enough for a silicon-based creature with a diameter of more than ten meters to digest for a long time.
The size of silicon-based organisms is distinguished by diameter, because most silicon-based organisms are a spherical structure, and this spherical shape is the main body of silicon-based organisms, as for tentacles and other structures even if they are broken, they can grow again, and the size of the main sphere is the main criterion used to distinguish the size.
According to the size of the diameter, silicon-based organisms can be divided into several grades, micro-silicon-based organisms, less than ten meters in diameter, the number of such silicon-based organisms is very large, and it is often the bottom of the food chain among silicon-based organisms, usually the food of other large silicon-based organisms, after all, eating soil and rocks can refine metals, and eating other silicon-based organisms can also refine metals.
Above the micro silicon-based organisms are small silicon-based organisms, generally between ten meters and one hundred meters in diameter, and this kind of silicon-based organisms also belong to the bottom of the silicon-based organisms, and are also one of the objects of predation of many medium and large silicon-based organisms.
The size of medium-sized silicon-based organisms is very large, with a diameter of between 100 meters and 1000 meters, and such a huge size can often directly swallow smaller meteorites, asteroids, etc. at one time.
Large silicon-based creatures are quite terrifying, with a diameter of 1,000 meters to between 100,000 meters, and they are like asteroids in the void of the universe, with very long tentacles, which can easily capture and devour asteroids, meteorites, and small and medium-sized silicon-based creatures.
On top of the large silicon-based creatures, there are also king-level silicon-based creatures, king-level silicon-based creatures are not only very large, but also have a diameter of at least 100,000 meters, and more importantly, once the silicon-based creatures reach the king-level, silicon-based creatures have wisdom and are no longer brainless and low-level creatures.
From miniature to large, silicon-based creatures do not have any racial restrictions on each other, no matter which silicon-based creature it is, as long as it lives long enough and devours enough metal, it can slowly grow into a large silicon-based creature.
However, if you want to grow from a large silicon-based creature and evolve into a king-level silicon-based creature, it is not so easy to evolve into a king-level silicon-based creature.
Most of the lifespans of silicon-based organisms are very long, at least tens of thousands of years, often swallowing a high metal content asteroid, rocks, stones, etc., have to sleep for more than ten years to slowly digest, not long life.
PS: The design of silicon-based life in the universe is mainly spherical, I don't know if it is reasonable,......
