Chapter XXVI
This thing is like this, originally the Star went to the sky, you should fly to the outer solar system according to your original plan, add a little lithium and you will drive back to the earth, people are very annoying because you are a person who is reluctant to deal with you, but now there are casualties, which can easily rise to the political level...... There are too many people who hate Zhang Tianhe, of course they can't do anything to him, he has already flown out, but you can't explain it, and it's also annoying that someone comes to fight with you every day. People, whether you can do something depends on your mentality, if someone runs in front of you every morning and spits stars and fights with you, then this person will not want to do anything.
Fuck…… Zhang Tianhe couldn't help but curse in his heart when he was chasing the dog octopus. The thief is uncomfortable......
Earlier, on the moon, a woman was captured and a few excavators were knocked out, all of which were taking advantage, and the Martian Council also liked to take advantage of such things, and they wouldn't say anything. Now, after a big loss, these guys can rip off your pants and kick you, they can really do it.
Ignoring all the strange places of the octopus in front of him, he connected to Shi Kning's communicator.
"How's the people? Dead or not? He asked Skuning.
"Unconscious."
"That's okay, just don't die. Drag back the Star and throw it in the infirmary, and bring all the creatures over to see it...... You take the nerves with you, don't let these people die on the Star! ”
"Yes! Captain...... Are you still going to chase it? In case ......"
"Don't say it! Fuck crow's mouth! Things that didn't exist in the first place also made you talk about it! Get busy with you! ”
Zhang Tianhe knew what Shi Kening meant, this kind of invisible and shadowless octopus can have such a great lethality to the human body, if you chase it, if there is such a half after catching up, everyone will have to be deflated, and it is a big problem whether it can be returned or not. But so what? Did you let it go after such a big loss? You'll have to catch it and study it, and if you get it right, you'll be able to eat yakitori on the boat tonight, right?
Regarding the food on the Star, it is actually a bit monotonous, that is, the internal circulation, and it is impossible to have all grains, there is not so much space for these things, it can only be said that the ration must be sufficient, and everyone will not be hungry. If you want to eat something rare, you have to pick the day, if you have big fish and meat every day, the stars can't cultivate so many creatures, and the ecological layer does this work, farming, captivity, and dealing with people's eating and drinking problems. Although the current technology can be harvested and slaughtered quickly, there is still a process of growth in the middle, so it is not a whim to catch this big octopus and eat it, Zhang Tianhe really wants to eat it.
In fact, it is also understandable that there is no octopus on Mars, and people have not been able to eat octopus for more than 200 years, so they must open this meat.
Fresh and tender, roasted to butter and shiny, a bite down and a mouth full of juice, enjoyable...... He thought as he chased. Burn the outside over high heat, lock in the gravy, sprinkle with salt and pepper, don't mess with the messy seasonings, the most delicious ingredients need the simplest dishes, this product is so good, it must taste good......
His saliva was pouring out.
If the octopus in front of him knew that he was thinking about this, it would be furious and immediately smear itself with feces.
In fact, most of today's biology revolves around people, because other things are dead, you don't have a sample to study, only people are quite a lot, and you have to study them. But it is precisely because there are only humans left that everything has to serve them, for example, people study ducks in order to make them reproduce and grow and be the perfect food for humans. It is easy to advance by leaps and bounds when there are few things that can be studied, and the knowledge that makes people live comfortably is the most pleasing knowledge, so this discipline has never been unpopular. But for ordinary people, biology is no longer meaningful, even if you have read the encyclopedia of the earth and know that there were hundreds of millions of creatures living on the earth in the past, it will not help you in your real life, they are all extinct, do you know what their eggs are for? So the Martians are more concerned about the food and pets of the people who survived, and there are very few people who really understand what those creatures that lived before on Earth were like.
Zhang Tianhe is one of them, this person is studying cosmology, but he also taught himself a part of anthropology, likes to study this kind of thing, and he still has a bit of attainment in biology, he can't say that he is more professional than George Brian, at least he knows most of the graphics of previous earth creatures, and he can also roughly explain the habits and living environment of this creature, which is much stronger than ordinary Martians.
But the octopus in front of him was very different from the earth octopus he knew, except for the appearance of an octopus, everything else looked wrong.
In the past, earthlings said that octopuses are likely to be alien creatures, these guys have three hearts and two memory systems, and it has almost as much DNA as humans, but it has more genes that code for proteins - 25,000 for humans and 33,000 for octopuses, and they can code their own RNA to adapt to different living environments.
Can an octopus be so powerful that it encodes its own genes to make itself invisible to photoelectric radar? It's not impossible, but why specifically target Martians? Zhang Tianhe thought. You must know that this kind of high-precision photoelectric radar is only available to Martians, not on Mercury, and has not been created by earthlings before, so how precise is this kind of photonic radar? If you emit a photoelectric wave towards South Gate 2, you will be able to see sunspots and flares on South Gate 2 when the signal returns. Such a cow's technique was effortlessly broken by a small octopus.
It will take the initiative to attack human beings is also strange, you know, in this part of the earth, human beings have always been rampant, there are not many creatures that dare to touch humans, you try it, I am afraid that even the graves of your ancestors of the eighteenth generation have been picked up, in fact, in addition to human beings, other animals and plants instinctively want to run away when they see human beings, scared to death - and it is said that in the second half of the 21st century, there is a trend of thought, many people are like animals who turn around and run when they see humans, and they are afraid to die, people call this symptom "anthropophobia". It's not hard to understand that humans are extremely intelligent, except that they are harmless when they are babies, they look terrible when they grow up - if consciousness can be observed like a fluid, no matter where you see an adult, the consciousness in his head will roll around like waves, even if you don't know you, for example, in the past, you saw a stranger in a rainforest or desert or city, he was staring at you, you can see the consciousness in his head rolling like boiling water, The scary part is that you don't know what's going on in his mind. If you see a tiger, or you see a shark, you're never going to see it rolling around in your head, at most, "This guy is sick, run to my mouth and give you a mouthful!" Or "Bite no?" Don't bite it, after biting, you will be picked up from the ancestral grave, and you will slip away. "But people...... It's weird. So how dare an octopus come up and bite when it sees a human? But it's only been 200 years, and it forgot how it died?
In the cognition of the octopus Tianhe, the octopus is a very slow swimming creature, speed is not their strong point, but the octopus in front of it swims extremely fast, if you use a form to describe its swimming style, it should be said to be a jet, its body is completely presented with a spinning appearance, or the shape of a rocket, from the eight wrists and feet together to spray water outward, to reach the landing craft to chase the speed of hard work.
In fact, the landing craft in the water suffers a big loss, because it is not a fluid shape, and it is not ready to pursue at all, not to mention that in the consciousness of the Martians, there is nothing faster than the pig's nose in the solar system now, it can instantly evaporate the air around it at full power, which is equivalent to running in a vacuum, so it is difficult to be faster than it, and there is no need to do any fluid, practicality is the most important. Now in the ocean, its sailing mode is also the same, it needs to first vaporize the surrounding ocean, then evaporate, and then run in a vacuum, which greatly slows it down.
And...... The scariest thing is because of the arrogance of Martian technology, it's not an offensive vehicle at all, it's a defensive one, in other words, even if you come to fight it, you can't penetrate it anyway - can you expect a broken octopus to penetrate it?
This matter can't be thought about in detail, because all Martian technology is based on the same theory, that is, the reasonable control and use of particle energy, all spaceships built on Mars are based on this theory to attack or defend, it stands to reason that no one can penetrate the shell of the airship produced by Mars, even if the Martians themselves go off and hit their own spaceship, one or two can't penetrate it, but an octopus knocked down the people in the spaceship, how did it do it?
The more I think about it, the hungrier I get, I have to take this guy down!
Just like the principle of the landing craft, the particle cannon is similar, its mode of action is to shoot high-energy particles to knock all the particles in the path away, so the wound made by the particle cannon is generally a penetrating wound, unless the target itself has high energy, such as the target is a nuclear-powered engine, and it will explode if it is penetrated by the particle cannon. The particle cannon is more powerful in space than in the ocean, and if you use it to hit other ships, even if it is not an engine, the cabin ship will immediately lose pressure, and the people inside will burst lungs, and then they will be frozen into popsicles. Theoretically speaking, people dying in space should be like a spaceship that loses pressure and explodes, but the reality is that people are frozen before they explode into space, which is a little less artistic than exploding.
This is the situation now, this octopus has been hit three through wounds, counting six holes in its body with a diameter of nearly half a meter, but it does not seem to have been fatally injured, and it is still running vigorously, drilling into the depths of the ocean, that is, it has drilled six holes and has not drilled its engine, and this guy's waterjet engine is still running. After Zhang Tianhe gave the order for a free firefight, Shulmi fired several more shots, either hitting the wrists and feet, or grazing past the octopus, but it still did not hit its fatal point.
"You have to practice this artillery, look at me!" Zhang Tianhe said in the communicator, and then he handed over the driving power to the co-pilot, pushed away the gunner and aimed at a cannon, and as a result, the cannon also passed by the octopus.
"There's a ghost in this! My cannon is also notoriously accurate on Mars! Why can't this be beaten, it's still ......?"
In the middle of his chatter, it may be that Shulmi was a little angry by him, and fired a shot steadily, this shot directly from the middle of the wrist and foot spray of water, and then through the front of the octopus's head, this time it can be regarded as hitting its engine, it spurted a stream of blood outward, and finally swam forward a little more, the wrist and foot gradually spread out, and the head also changed back to round, and trembled for a while not far from being hit, and remained motionless.
