Chapter 46: Silicon-Based Life
Syllable! After a period of dizziness, Fu Bin realized that he had been slapped heavily, and then saw a pretty face with angry eyes.
Nima, if you don't wake up early or late, you won't do it on purpose, right? Fu Bin had a sense of shame when the thief was caught, but he said unreasonably: "Why are you beating me!" I'm helping you. ”
As soon as I spoke, I found that my cheeks were swollen, and my voice had changed, which was extremely unpleasant. Fu Bin couldn't help but feel extremely angry in his heart, pointing at Yun Huaxue's face and saying, "You are too much, you are so heavy." If it weren't for me, you'd be dead again this time, do you know? ”
Yun Huaxue was stunned for a moment, then remembered the situation just now, a trace of shame flashed on her face, and immediately turned cold again, got up and looked left and right, and said, "You mean, that strange thing was solved by you?" ”
Fu Bin pointed to the two backpacks, but he didn't speak, it was too painful, and he couldn't open his mouth if he couldn't speak. took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and found that the left side of his face was high and swollen, and there was a row of clear five finger prints on it. ”
Yun Huaxue turned her head a little embarrassed, and said, "As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a lewd face, and I came over with a stinky mouth, do you still want me to be polite?" Okay, count me off once I owe you. Why don't you practice here? I'll go to the front and have a look. ”
"Don't!" Fu Bin hurriedly pointed to her entropy array and said, "The briquettes and mermaids have been waiting outside for a long time, and we have gained a lot, so let's go out first." ”
"Harvest?" Yun Huaxue checked her entropy array and said in surprise: "73 percent more energy!" Where did it come from? ”
Fu Bin had no choice but to roughly describe the process of killing the life of the spar, but the funny voice and expression made Yun Huaxue couldn't help but show a smile, but this smile made Fu Bin's anger disappear most of it.
"So, it's sucked to death by the entropy array?" After hearing this, Yun Huaxue wondered, "Is this thing a creature or a crystal mine?" ”
"I'm not sure." Fu Bin touched his face and said, "However, this kind of life form is very different from the life we usually see, and it may be a completely different life form. ”
Yun Huaxue wondered, "What does another life form mean?" ”
"Have you ever heard of silicon-based life?"
Yun Huaxue shook her head and said, "What is silicon-based life?" ”
Fu Bin said a little pretentiously: "Like us humans, as well as all living beings on the earth, the substances and metabolism that make up the body are based on carbonized organic matter, and the metabolism is also based on carbon, so they all belong to carbon-based life. Silicon-based life is a life form that uses silicon as the basis for metabolism, and I don't know anything else. On Earth, this is only a scientific hypothesis, and it is impossible to imagine that silicon-based life would actually exist in this world. ”
Yun Huaxue is not a curious person, and when she heard this explanation, she didn't ask any more, but nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then you say, will there be more of this kind of ...... Silicon-based organisms? ”
"You still want to go down?"
"Don't you want to?"
Fu Bin's curiosity was originally very heavy, and with this major discovery, he was actually itchy, so it was a lie to say that he didn't want to go down, so he had to say: "Okay, then go down a little more, but at most walk for another half an hour." ”
After knowing the weakness of silicon-based creatures, Fu Bin didn't have to be afraid now, but he was also very puzzled, since humans themselves were carbon-based lifeforms, why could silicon-based lives be directly used as cultivation resources, but carbon-based lives could not. This question, it seems that I have to go back and ask the ** dragon again.
Looking at the crystals in the cave, Fu Bin now knew that the reason why they did not have any radiation energy was because they had been "eaten" by that silicon-based life, and it was obvious that silicon-based creatures used these crystals as survival resources. Of course, there are still a small number of uneaten hedrons, but compared to the corpse of the silicon-based creature, the quality is far from the same, and now the two of them can't fit it in their bags, so they don't bother to pick it up, which is also a rare phenomenon.
When the cave arrived, it began to get hotter and hotter, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, and the two of them advanced for more than ten minutes, but they did not find any new silicon-based creatures, but found that they could not move forward, because the front was already hot, and it was really impossible to move forward, and the oxygen was obviously insufficient.
Fu Bin sweated profusely and glanced at Yun Huaxue's open collar, swallowed at the charming scenery, and said, "It seems that there is very likely to be lava down there, and you can't get through." Let's go back, I'm about to be steamed dry. ”
Yun Huaxue glanced sharply at Fu Bin's swollen left cheek, and said, "Just watch it if you want to, don't sneak around, it's even more disgusting." ”
Fortunately, Fu Bin can't see whether his face is blushing now, he himself is now completely open, revealing his belly, and the two pectoral muscles and eight abdominal muscles are faintly visible. He froze awkwardly for a moment, and said with a lame sense of humor, "Well, I'll let you see it anyway." ”
Yun Huaxue shook her head and said, "I listen to you, why do you look like a little sufferer?" It's normal to see when you're facing Evie. ”
Fu Bin had no choice but to shut up, thinking about it, he still got back to business: "Then do you want to go back?" ”
"Sure enough, it's a little man, and he wants me to be a woman." Yun Huaxue didn't let go of Fu Bin, and continued to make fun of it before saying, "Forget it, go back." Otherwise, I'll show some more, I'm really afraid that you will have the mind of the overlord to make a bow, I heard that you are stronger now, I don't know if I can stop it. ”
"Uh......" Fu Bin was really speechless, his perception of Yun Huaxue now was very strange, on the surface it was as cold as frost, but when he heard her speak, he was like a rotten girl without discipline, he dared to use any heavy words, he really couldn't understand a woman's heart.
Yun Huaxue was afraid of fire, and when he heard that there was lava below, he had already stopped, and he was arguing with Fu Bin purely to find a step down. On the way back, the two picked up dozens of spars in slightly better condition, and the entropy array was already full, so they could only be forced into their bags, and they were about to burst the bags, with a total of less than 30 units.
The speed was relatively slow because it was going up, and after nearly an hour, I finally returned to the insect nest that had been destroyed by the cloud painting snow. I thought it would be a little troublesome, but I didn't expect to see the traces of those insects. Just as he was confused, he heard the voice of someone talking in front of him, and it seemed that several people had come in, but under the echo in the cave, he couldn't hear what he said at all.
The two hurriedly pulled up their clothes and continued to walk out cautiously. The sound outside is getting closer and closer, and there seem to be many people, and there is also the sound of briquettes among them, which makes Fu Bin feel a little relieved. It may be that the two of them haven't been back for a long time, so the briquette brought people down to take a look.
The people outside also seemed to hear the movement of the two of them, and they were quiet for a while, and then the voice of the briquettes said loudly: "Bing, is that you?" ”
Fu Bin wanted to agree, but now his face was swollen and his mouth hurt, and he really couldn't shout. I had to look at Yun Huaxue and motioned for her to respond.
Yun Huaxue looked at Fu Bin's left cheek, coughed lightly a little reluctantly, and then shouted in her ethereal voice, "It's us!" ”
When Fu Bin covered his face and saw the briquettes, he found that there were five people in the group, and they were basically all known by Fu Bin, a black match and an Indian beauty Harika, and a white man called Legend Diary, and the last one was a stormy life, but the mermaid was not there, and should still be outside to answer.
Fu Bin was worried that his current situation would be laughed at, but when he saw these people, he was immediately relieved, because the image of the five people of the briquette was also very embarrassing, their clothes were torn, their hair was scattered, and their faces were also high and swollen, and even the briquettes had a big bag around their necks.
Fu Bin couldn't help but say, "Why are you so miserable? ”
"Not stung by those damn flying insects yet." Fengyu said: "Ha, brother, you have also been tricked in the face, but why are there finger prints?" ”
"Uh...... A bug stung me in the face, and Xiaoxue helped me shoot it to death. Fu Bin said half-truthfully. Yun Huaxue heard him say this, but just blinked, noncommittal.
"Giggle...... Looks like a bit heavy on the start. Harika laughed.
"Oh! It looks like you've gained a lot, what's going on inside? Briquettes saw the bulging backpacks on the two of them.
When the others heard this, their eyes also lit up, and Fu Bin said: "The bottom of this cave seems to be straight to the lava, there are basically no living creatures, there are a lot of spars in the middle, but most of them are of low purity......
The general situation inside was explained, but the silicon-based life was not emphasized, and its corpse was not revealed, only that a strange creature had been solved. Because Fu Bin felt that this might involve a lot, he was going to discuss it with **Long first. Yun Huaxue didn't like to talk very much, and her scheming was heavier, so she didn't add any information. There are so many so-called strange creatures in this world that people who listen to them don't take it seriously.
When Fu Bin struggled to speak, he saw Match and Harika stuff a milky white thing similar to toffee into his mouth. Seeing Fu Bin's gaze, Feng Fengyu Sheng handed over a piece of the same thing, and said, "This is the honey found in the poisonous beehive just now, it tastes good, and it can also relieve the pain of being stung by poisonous bees, you can have one." ”
Fu Bin took the honey and stuffed it into his mouth, of course he knew that this thing was ineffective for the swelling and pain on his face, but now he could only show a comfortable expression, fortunately, although this thing had a strange smell, it tasted good. Yun Huaxue saw that Fu Bin's expression was so enjoyable, so she asked Harika for a piece, but she frowned a little when she ate it, and obviously didn't like the strange taste.
Fu Bin asked again. It turned out that the briquettes had been waiting outside for a long time without results, so they came down to take a look alone, but they were frightened by the swarm of bees at the entrance of the cave and ran back, and they were hit by the neck. The wind and rain life and others who were passing by outside saw the embarrassment of the briquettes, so they came over to care, and after learning that Fu Bin and Yun Huaxue might be trapped in the hole, they organized people to come down again. After they put a lot of effort into eliminating the swarm of poisonous bees, they got a lot of honey, and according to experience, this kind of thing is relatively rare, and it should be worth a lot of contribution points, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Their method of exterminating bees is to collect some jackal hairs and dried droppings, light them after a little dampness, and smoke the hives with the smoke emitted. The method was correct, but this poisonous bee was much more ferocious than the bees on Earth, and after the battle, except for Harika, who was not stung because she was wearing a face towel, everyone else's faces were swollen.
"Since you're all fine, let's dig out all the honeycombs here." Harika said.
