"Metal! Cell? ”

This term, coming out of the mouth of a serious scholar, is not just a casual statement.

"Maybe it's not a complete cell, it's just a micromechanical nanoworm with some of the characteristics of the cell structure, maybe it's more appropriate to call them metal viruses!"

"Metal virus?"

The more he listened, the more confused he became, as a soldier, his control of this expertise was only understandable, and as for the specific difference between the two, he could not understand.

"Yes, a virus, a virus in the form of a metal machine!"

Looking at Dukao's solemn expression, the wandering mage understood that he didn't understand!

However, the wandering mage did not embarrass him, and took Dukao to a laboratory.

In the center of the empty laboratory, there stood a giant glass observation chamber filled with verdant inhibitors, green inhibitors, like a pool of microorganisms and algae dancing together in a light green pond, vaguely hiding the danger of swimming in the water!

Dukao held his breath and watched carefully the long black shadow that flickered in the glass bulkhead, like a long-tailed swimming fish, vaguely and unreally.

It seemed that the other party sensed Dukao's observation, and his figure twisted and swayed, dissipating into invisibility in an instant.

Just when Dukao was puzzled, a fist-sized spiral mouthpart slammed into the solid tempered glass wall, making a dull sound.

And the other party did not retreat with a touch, but used the suction cup structure around the mouthparts to cling to the inner wall, turning the spiral teeth wildly, and scraping the tempered glass with a harsh sound!

At this moment, Dukao was able to get a glimpse of the other party's full picture, with a head resembling a lamprey, a metal structure all over, sharp metal barbs growing on his back, and a diamond-shaped arrow at the tail vertebrae, flashing with cold phosphorescence.

It is estimated that it is the thickness of a baby's arm, about the length of an adult man's arm, and with the chimeric exoskeleton, it is estimated that it should be able to casually squeeze the neck of an ordinary carbon-based lifeform.

"That's it? It's okay to deal with ordinary people, you find it out, and I can make it into three dishes for you immediately! ”

Dukao didn't exaggerate either, with the divine body, the wandering mage could chew and eat even if he picked up a safe!

The wandering mage gave Dukao a blank look, ignoring the other party's cold jokes, anyway, it was not himself who was embarrassed.

Seeing that the wandering mage did not pick up his own stalks, Dukao was not annoyed, but walked to the other party to see what the wandering mage wanted to say.

Seeing that Ducao had finally returned to his normal state, the wandering mage landed on the Dark Plane and transferred his authority to connect to the operation interface of the Dro III supercomputer.

The wandering mage specializes in rune research, and the original dark plane operating system is the source of ten thousand laws, and has a very good set of research and analysis of runes, but for the operation analysis at the genetic level, it is not as professional as Droz No. 3.

And Dukao also logged in with the wandering mage, wanting to see what this metal virus was all about.

"This metal monster fish, when he first arrived here, was a broken metal stump, and inadvertently activated his biology through energy radiation, and began to 'live' it."

Hearing the words of the wandering mage, Dukao seemed to understand.

"Like an octopus? Cut off their tentacles, but the tentacles still move! ”

The wandering mage glanced at Dukao in some surprise, he didn't expect that this person who had dedicated his life to war and violence would still have such a wealth of common sense in life!

"This metaphor is very appropriate, but the octopus tentacle is an unconscious twitch caused by the potential difference, but this mechanical tentacle, the direction of action, has a more accurate direction!"

Ducao didn't know what he was thinking.

"You say this thing is a machine, right? Will someone be in control, like Millican's Global Hawk drone? ”

The wandering mage shook his head, the base of Tianhe City has enabled a large number of dark alloy casting walls, and the radio signals of ordinary technology cannot penetrate the dark alloy layer at all.

Ducao is naïve when he thinks about it, earth technology can find out the news of the Tianhe base, what kind of aliens is he fighting?

"This problem can't be explained for the time being, let's take a look at these metal viruses first!"

With a wave of his hand, the leisurely mechanical lamprey instantly turned into powder, and then a nanomechanical insect that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye was extracted.

"That's what I call a metal virus!"

With Deno 3, the nanorobotic worm model zooms in on the dark plane until it is the size of a basin.

"Isn't this a mechanical octopus? Wrong! It's nanobots! ”

The nanotechnology Deno galaxy has not been studied, but the input-output ratio is huge, and the application prospects are also debatable.

"You're right, but not exactly!"

"It's a nanobot, and it does look like an octopus, but through the matching results of Deno 3, it's exactly the same as a virus called bacteriophage!"

Dukao waited quietly for the wandering mage to continue, after all, he didn't understand at all, and he had to test the other party's explanation before he could make the next decision.

"Not only are they similar in appearance, but their abilities are similar, this nanorobotic worm can achieve large-scale self-replication by devouring metals, and it is similar to phages capturing viruses and injecting genetic DNA for modification and proliferation!"

"Wait! Are you saying that this thing can reproduce itself? ”

"Yes!"

"So how do you control it? Is there a difference in his ability to decompose and devour all metals? Is there any means to prevent the magnetic field shielding of the energy bib? What about the replenishment of energy and the ability to sustain operations? Battlefield ...."

"Stop, stop..... Lao Du, I'm a mage, and I'm not a weapon researcher under you, how can I answer these questions you ask? ”

"Hey, hey, hey... Some focused, isn't this the intelligence of the Sun Star a little too scary, the Styx galaxy is all brutal and ignorant beast civilizations, they enjoy killing, just to please Carl, and the wormhole on the back side of Mars, which is constantly adjusting its coordinates to get closer to the earth! I'd love to build a space-based weapon right now, and a solar flare to blow up these bastards! ”

"I understand what you're worried about, but we don't know which beast civilization is coming, you want to take this nanobot worm and become a ghost killer and destroy the other party's spaceship."

"Why?"

"These nanorobotic bugs require special energy frequency band regulation, and at the moment they cannot devour the replica dark alloy, and dark energy fluctuations are also fatal to them!"

Ducao was anxious when he heard it, he could fight with technology, why should he take human lives to fill it? If the wandering mage can find these problems, then there must be a corresponding solution, as long as the other party says it, even if it is difficult, he must give it a try!
