Gandora-3, a planet with a low gravity environment but a dense atmosphere.

Planets with this geological landscape are not uncommon in the universe. For example, Venus in the solar system is only 0.8 times the mass of the Earth, but the mass of the atmosphere is 93 times that of the Earth, and the density of the atmosphere is 100 times that of the Earth!

The same is true for the planet Gandora-3, which has a relatively low gravity environment and a dense atmosphere, about three times the standard atmospheric pressure of the Earth. Its high oxygen content makes it ideal for the survival of large living forms.

The evolution of this planet is somewhat similar to the age of dinosaurs during the Cretaceous period of the earth, and huge reptiles can be seen everywhere on the planet.

There are creatures that are even capable of reaching a mass of hundreds of tons, worthy of the name of a giant Mac.

Especially among these reptiles, people have found a life form similar to the "giant dragon" in Western mythology. For these reasons, it has become a very famous tourist attraction in the new human civilization.

"The volume and mass of life are usually proportional to the oxygen content, and the higher the oxygen concentration, the greater the life of the planet...... Because the atmosphere is relatively dense, it can inhale more oxygen in one mouthful. ”

"This planet is moderately located from the central star, and the temperature is maintained at 30 degrees Celsius for a long time, and it is the most perfect birthplace of life."

"It's really hard to imagine that in the distant Big Magellanic Galaxy, we can find a planet that is in the age of dinosaurs!"

The students wore power armor and talked about it.

He walks through this nature reserve and visits unique landscapes. Due to the relatively high air pressure here, under normal circumstances, people do not breathe the air here, otherwise there may be uncomfortable reactions such as drunken oxygen, which can be regarded as a small regret.

As they weave through the jungle and meet all sorts of messy, unheard of creatures, it's clear that this is a very fresh trip.

"Buzz!"

A swarm of insects flew over, and they looked a bit like mosquitoes, with pointed mouthparts and hideous faces. Unlike mosquitoes on Earth, these insects are larger than a person's fist!

Faced with these giant insects, tourists avoid them.

One of the insects flew a little tired and stopped on top of a girl's power armor helmet, rubbing its two forelimbs.

It was surveying the transparent glass cover, as if wondering if its mouthparts could penetrate it.

"If you suck the blood of this mosquito, you will die directly, right?" The girl stood there motionless, her face pale, "Help! ”

"You can do an experiment and make it take a sip...... Maybe if it sucks human blood, it will be poisoned in no time. ”

"I found that the flying creatures here are a bit more bulky, probably because of the high air pressure, so they can't fly very fast."

"The atmospheric pressure is high, and when you flap your wings, the wind will be stronger. The cells in these organisms are said to have a high content of ATP in their bodies. ”

Men and women stared at the mosquito, as if trying to catch it for experimentation.

Seeing that there was no companion to take care of her, the girl with a mosquito standing on her helmet was a little crying. She could only bite the bullet, raised her hand and waved, and after some intimidation, the mosquito finally flew away lazily. It wasn't very interested in this stone-like thing.

Suddenly, Lin Yueyue, who was walking in the forefront, said: "Shhh, don't make a sound, it seems that there is a snoring sound." ”

"Oh my God! A giant dragon is squatting on the ground and sleeping! ”

At the bottom of the hillside, there is a black-brown creature about 7 meters long!

Unlike dinosaurs, some of the reptiles here have evolved large, powerful wings that allow them to glide through the air briefly.

There are some varieties that are even capable of spitting acid from a stomach pouch to attack enemies.

So based on these similar settings in fantasy, people call it "dragons".

These dragons appear to be large but not heavy, on the one hand, the gravity of the planet itself is relatively low, about 0.8 times that of the Earth, and on the other hand, the increased atmospheric pressure means that the air becomes more buoyant when the wings are flipped up.

For the purpose of flight, the bones in the dragon's body are hollow, and some unique biological structures effectively reduce the mass of the entire body.

"Looking at its size, it's more than enough to carry the weight of a person. Maybe we can ride it? ”

"Do you want to get it back?" The boy began to try to challenge the dragon, and even wanted to become a glorious dragon knight. Maybe this thing can really be domesticated?

"Do you have a capture warrant? It is illegal to catch animals indiscriminately. A girl sneered: "And get it back to the base, and you are responsible for cleaning up the that comes out?" ”

The boys' faces darkened, and they all looked at Lin Yueyue, who was in the lead.

"Well, I'll ask the grown-ups first, if they need to study dragons, then get them back; If you don't need to, then there's no way, I'm too lazy to help you get any dragons, and I don't want the excrement to pollute the entire base......"

Lin Yueyue, who has great powers, quickly contacted the headquarters, and then applied for permission in this regard, she said with a smile: "Passed, it just so happens that the nearby biological laboratory needs a reptile to do experiments, and asks us for help." ”

"Roar!"

"Great!"

The process of arrest was actually very simple, a tranquilizer gun was fired, and the dragon, which was already sleeping, was paralyzed on the ground unconsciously. Immediately afterward, an anti-gravity spaceship flew from the sky and transported the dragon back.

……

The dragon awoke suddenly, and found itself in an inexplicable place.

The floor under his feet was extremely hard, and there was an invisible object in the sky, which collided a few times, and it seemed that there was no way to fly out.

This is...... Treasure?!

In front of it lay an iron metal ball the size of a human head.

The dragon frantically toyed with the gleaming silver orb of metal and bit it with its teeth. It instinctively likes these things, and even plays with them and forgets about its own situation.

"Roar!"

Half an hour later, the door to the laboratory opened, and an excavator entered, a robot specifically designed to challenge the dragon's combat power and test its physical data.

At first, the dragon tried to escape, but after the excavator sucked up its metal ball with an electromagnet, it became truly angry.

The two sides scuffled together.

Soon, however, the dragon was defeated in a fit of rage.

No matter how powerful it is, its strength is not comparable to that of an excavator, and the tonnage is not as large as it is against a shovel of an excavator.

Coupled with the fact that gnawing with its teeth and spitting gastric juice was completely ineffective against the excavator, the dragon quickly realized that the guy in front of him was almost invincible, and it began to run away, not even the metal balls......

This series of tests made everyone stunned, but they didn't expect this guy to have a certain amount of intelligence.

Dinosaurs on Earth were not intelligent, with large heads and small brains, and according to scientific speculation, dinosaurs did not have a high IQ; But the dragons here have a significantly higher level of intelligence.

"It's very interesting, it's really possible to domesticate!"

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day that the dragon had been captured.

"IQ test, the results are out...... It has a human IQ of about 6 years old and has a certain ability to understand. It's one of the smarter reptiles! ”

"In a series of previous tests, it has learned how to take advantage of the advantages and avoid the disadvantages. , It actually failed in the competition of physical strength, and in the previous competition, it had never encountered such a thing, which made it really a little panicked, so now it will run away when it sees the excavator. And in the process of fighting, the butt of the excavator will be outflanked. ”

"On the other hand, its ability to fly will be blocked by an invisible cover in mid-air. After hitting the glass about 12 times, it understood this and stopped hitting the glass, proving the superiority of its intelligence. ”

"It took me 12 times to understand that this is also called IQ superiority?" Hearing this conclusion, one of the boys was slightly puzzled.

"Of course, their intelligence is not comparable to that of humans...... But there are a lot of animals, and it takes days to hit them to understand that there is a glass wall here. ”

"We have obtained a blood sample of it. You can let it go, and of course you can do some experiments as you want. After the transhuman scientist obtained the data he wanted, he answered these questions and left with his own consciousness.

Before leaving, he threw a piece of iron, which glistened in the sun.

The dragon hurriedly held the piece of iron in its mouth, it liked something shiny.

The main reason for this is that these organisms eat some metals to obtain trace elements in them. It's just a pity that their planet can't find too many sparkling things at all, so this habit has not been well satisfied.

It hesitated for a moment, but decided to hide this piece of iron in a small corner of it, and its heart was extremely happy.

In this strange place, it often does strange things, but overall it is satisfied. In addition, the food here is actually not bad, and you can eat enough every day...... For animals, being able to eat enough is already a very happy thing.

"Roar!"

It roared.

No, as a dragon, it shouldn't bow its head for a little material.

I kind of want to mate.

After the transhuman scientists left, there was a large wave of traditional humans left in the lab, all young students, chattering around the dragon. Traditional humans actually retain a high degree of autonomy, and most of their actions are not taken care of by superhumans.

"Now, this dragon belongs to us!"

"I'll give you a fleshy fruit." A boy walked into the glass lab with a big grin, relying on his power armor and even patting the dragon's body.

"Roar!"

The dragon was a little angry, and swallowed the somewhat strange, infinitely scented fruit into its mouth.

It smells so good!

The dragon flapped its wings a few times, it was a little tired and just wanted to sleep.

What does this cunning creature want to do? Why don't you leave yet?

"I'll give you a fleshy fruit if you breathe fire in your mouth."

"Roar!"

"Okay, Jiang Fan, don't tease it. How can an ordinary creature breathe fire? Feed it, it's saliva. "A few girls are a little unaccustomed to this kind of molestation of animals.

They felt that they should let the dragon go away instead of keeping it up and playing with it.

People can't stay here for long, how can they domesticate this creature? It's not realistic to take it away through a spaceship, and without the help of a superhuman, raising an alien creature is really a troublesome thing, and it is a lot of trouble to control biological contamination and avoid it getting sick, etc.

Lin Yueyue was whispering to her companions, "Which planet will we travel to next?" ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"How's the cat?"

“…… Forget it. Do you want to suck a meow? ”

Cats are a planet with a very strange local culture, and it is also a famous tourist planet where an ordinary sunken civilization lives.

If it is just that, it will not arouse much interest among people, and the most unique thing is that every household in this civilization has a furry animal - "meow".

Even the legal status of this cute animal is higher than that of intelligent species!

The law stipulates that: discrimination and abandonment are not allowed; It is not allowed to starve the meow, and the meow must be fed six times a day; When you go out, you must hold the meow on your head, and you are not allowed to let it land on all fours; Use meow's feces to make food; When you see Meow, you must praise it sincerely.

All in all, the laws of cats are just weird.

Up to now, the new human civilization still doesn't know whether the ruling class of cats is meows or native intelligent creatures. Even, a small number of humans have suggested that "meow" be defined as an evil parasitic life form, although the vast majority of people think that it is just an ordinary creature.

“…… The boys probably don't want to go to the cats, they just like these rough and huge creatures, and they just want to be dragon knights in their heads. They may stay here for a few more days. ”

In the eyes of the girls, this lizard is just an ordinary creature, and after discovering it for some reason, the boys cheered, as if they had found some amazing toy. Maybe it's the difference between men and women, right?

One boy retorted, "Ordinary? This is not the case, this species seems to have evolved its own language! Moreover, the legend of the dragon knight, don't you know? Dragon Knight! Now I'm going to conquer it! Instead of going to Planet Meow...... Suck meow? Ahem! ”

"Dragon Knight?" Lin Yueyue frowned, slightly disgusted.

However, boys think differently than girls, so they can understand it.

Where to travel, we can discuss with each other, where to play or not?

"How's your self-awareness diary?"

"Hmm...... This ...... "In the face of this problem, some people are hesitant.

This is the main task of life, and it is also a big problem.

Lin Yueyue shook her head and stopped meddling: "Forget it, I don't care about your own business." ”

"Our AI has already recorded the dragon's language, but be warned, their language is simple and they can't understand too difficult movements. After all, this guy is not very intellectual, and he has a very short temper, it eats meat, don't provoke indiscriminately. ”

"I know, I know, Sister Yueyue, you are busy with you, leave us alone, as long as you wear power armor, it can't hurt us!"

The guy grinned and walked over and into the glass lab.

Seeing the little man next to him keep saying strange things and teasing him, the dragon's eyes glared.

This word should mean provocation. Males of this species will compete with each other for provocations. The boy played a recording.

"Roar! Quack wow! ”

The dragon was provoked, and immediately its wings fluffed, and its eyes widened......

Can't deal with the excavator, can't deal with you?!

It bit down on the dwarf human next to it.

There was a loud "click", and several teeth were broken.

"Wow, this dragon dares to bite me!!" Seeing that his entire head was bitten into the mouth by the dragon, and the glass helmet was bearing the terrifying bite of the dragon, the friction between the two sides produced a sharp "creaking" sound, and the boy couldn't help but panic a little.

Even though the helmet was quite firm, it was still quite panicked from the bottom of my heart, and cold sweat broke out all at once!

In the next second, his whole body was taken into the air by the dragon, and his limbs swayed and waved.

"Ahh The girls all started screaming loudly.

"Use the anesthetic needle!"

The boy was suspended in mid-air, grabbing the dragon's jaw with both hands of the power armor, trying to pry it open. The high-performance power armor finally came in handy at this moment, and the dragon only felt a huge force attack from the jaw, plus two teeth were broken......

"Click" and let him go again.

"!" The boy swore and got up from the ground, and he found himself covered in disgusting saliva and mucus.

The dragon was preoccupied with finding this guy's weakness.

The two sides began to confront each other nervously.

Slowly, the boy stepped out of the danger zone.

When everyone who came saw this scene, they all laughed: "Wang Chuan, you look delicious!" Stunned, right? ”

"Does your glass helmet have any cracks? Oh, it's okay, not even a tooth mark. It's too strong. ”

The boy named Wang Chuan was slightly annoyed, raised the muzzle of the gun on his right, and spewed out a scorching shock flame. This is also the defense equipment that comes with the power armor, and I forgot to use it just now in a frightening environment.

The dragon quickly flapped its wings, moved to the side, and screamed in horror.

"Roar!"

The fear of fire is the instinct of the beast, and even a creature of its size can still feel quite painful when encountering scorching flames.

In the past forest fires, I don't know how many animals were killed, except for intelligent life that can overcome instinct and control the flames, the rest of the beasts have written this law in the depths of their genes.

"You don't torture it! It's an experiment! ”

"Don't burn it!"

"You walked over and provoked it yourself, and now you blame others?"

In the face of everyone's criticism, Wang Chuan could only put away the flame gun. His chest fell together, and it was really embarrassing that so many girls were present and lost such a big face.

"Here's what you're given." A girl threw a "flesh fruit" at the dragon and comforted it.

The fruit is produced by the plants of the Green Leaf Alliance, and it tastes a bit like raw meat, and the nutrients are huge in protein, which is specially used to feed this carnivorous creature.

The dragon sniffed and swallowed it.

A group of people pointed around this giant dragon again, and the powerful power armor gave people enough courage.

To be honest, it's not that hard to tear the dragon apart.

Some people want to be dragon knights, and some people even want to get a little blood, and then ask the superhumans to modify their genes.

"If you can shrink to the size of a dog, you can undoubtedly become a new type of pet."

"I think we should capture more dragons, we will all be dragon knights in the future!"

"Who's calling the Dragon Knight?"

"Dragons walk the world!"

The boys were all eager to try and provoke the dragon lying on the ground. It's just a pity that at this distance, there is no strength at all, you can't fight and fight, you can't escape, you can't bite and you can't bite badly, what about these damn little people?!

"Roar!" The dragon aggrievedly relinquished his mating power......

……

Seeing the excited appearance of these people, Lin Yueyue couldn't help but shake her head, and secretly sighed that the ethereal thing of appearance, which was so ethereal, actually played such a big role at this moment.

Just because this guy looks a bit like a mythical dragon, humans favor him.

Just because the meows in the cats are cute, the legal status of this species is higher than that of the native intelligent life!

“…… It also proves that our thinking is actually immature. ”

"It's not ideal to distribute attention in this way. The fifth-level civilization needs to face all kinds of aliens, and its thinking should be more fraternal and broader. ”

What's more, this planet, Gandora-3, actually has intelligent species.

Generally speaking, human beings use multiple judgment methods such as using fire, forming words, and using tools to verify whether a species belongs to intelligent life.

In other words, Gandora-3 had a primitive intelligence community that entered the Stone Age.

But the appearance of this intelligent species is not pretty, a bit like a hybrid of a vulture and a monkey, and coupled with the presence of non-contact regulations, humans do not interfere much with them.

That is, the superhuman scientists secretly investigated and sorted out a large amount of information. Traditional human beings, including their students, don't have much interest at all, and don't even bother to write social reports.

"This must be wrong, is appearance justice? Of course not. ”

Lin Yueyue clicked on a document, which showed a video taken by a robot: in a certain corner of the planet, the indigenous intelligent species are fighting with the dragon, screaming and wailing and splashing blood, nakedly showing the cruel living environment of primitive civilization.

Where is the quiet time?

However, few people know, and no one cares.

Just because this intelligent species is not very good-looking, most of the students have little interest in investigating, but focus on the dragon.

"It's not normal, it's not right."

This thrilling war, just after watching it a few times, Lin Yueyue felt a little impetuous, and she turned off the video.

"Yueyue, what's wrong?" A girl also glanced at it a few times: "Ah, why do you look at this again?" ”

"From a scientific point of view, we only focus on this species... Well, I suddenly feel that human beings are a bit hypocritical...... Whether it's a preference for cats and dogs, or a preference for dragons, they are all genetically constrained. Humanity has been through this stage before, hasn't it? ”

"Ah, yes."

Lin Yueyue said: "What we think is good and bad doesn't mean much in front of the facts. I am firmly opposed to the formation of a reserve or domestication area here, to protect the so-called dragons, which would be a disaster for other species. ”

"Why do you suddenly talk about this? I don't think the superhumans would have set up a sanctuary here. As long as the superhumans don't set it up, we won't have much effort. And in the competition for survival on this planet, reptiles have the upper hand......"

This girl is also a person who loves to think, she paused for a while, and said: "History is really a wonderful thing, in the Cretaceous period of the earth, reptiles and mammals were on the same planet. And mammals are very miserable by reptiles, and they are downstream in the food chain, so they can only eat vegetarian diets, or eat some insects. ”

"If it weren't for a meteorite that suddenly attacked the earth and made all the dinosaurs extinct, how could mammals rise and humans would not have been born."

"So, what about the native intelligent creatures here? How will it develop in the future? It's really worrying. ”

Lin Yueyue sighed, "Yes, it's not optimistic. As long as we don't destroy the dragons, they will not be able to rise in the short term. Of course, we won't do that, and we can't speculate on what will happen in the next 10 million years......"

When it comes to competition between species, the topic is undoubtedly a bit heavy. Whichever side is supported, it is unfair to the other.

Fortunately, because of the "no-touch regulations", they don't feel much moral guilt.

Lin Yueyue glanced at the boys who were still training the dragon, and suddenly lost interest.

She returned to her room and recorded this unique emotion in her heart.

This is an important part of self-awareness...... Even if there aren't many people who do this job honestly.

“…… This sense of moral guilt is, to put it bluntly, hypocrisy. It is generally ...... that you have a lot of ability and need to take on more responsibilities Actually, no, we're just ordinary people. ”

"The current era can be regarded as the most hypocritical era of human beings. Superhumans don't seem to have this emotion, i.e., traditional humans still have ...... But under the constraints of some institutions, this sentiment has been weakened a lot. ”

"Being weakened doesn't mean there isn't, and if we were to take control of power, we might be ruining a lot of low-level civilizations. This is the main reason for sublimating to superhuman......"

Lin Yueyue held her head and began to think about the topic of "why people are hypocritical".

There was no way, after thinking about it for a long time, she could only ask for help from her assistant artificial intelligence again.

The answer is simple, first, humans communicate with their mouths, not brain waves. The mouth is controlled by the brain, so the mouth will say what the brain tells it to say. This is not necessarily true, and it may be a lie. ”

"Why should there be a lie?"

"To increase the probability of survival, even monkeys will lie. However, after sublimating into a superhuman, this ability can basically be canceled, and in order to increase the efficiency of communication, there is no longer a need for lies. ”

In addition, there is a second point, human beings are the carriers of desire, and they are born full of seven emotions and six desires. However, reality cannot allow human beings to do whatever they want, so the inner desire and the helplessness of reality are constantly in conflict, leading to the duality of human beings. Since there are two sides, it is logical to say that you are insincere. ”

"Thirdly, and most importantly, I tell you how I really feel, and you don't care, or you mock and ridicule, and spread the ...... For many people, this is unacceptable, so people become hypocritical. ”

Lin Yueyue sighed, "The distance between people is really ...... It's too far away, so let's transform into a superhuman as soon as possible! ”
