Chapter Forty-Seven: Half-Life

Since this kind of honey is valuable, of course, it is not easy to let go, even if you don't exchange contribution points, it is not bad to keep it as a snack. However, Yun Huaxue said that she was not interested, and went up to meet the mermaid first. Fu Bin guessed that she might be afraid of being stung by poisonous bees, otherwise with Yun Huaxue's usual calculating character, it is unlikely that she will let go of the harvest in front of her, and women are sometimes so unreasonable. Fu Bin imagined that Yun Huaxue was stung beyond recognition, and he couldn't accept it, so he was relieved.

Fortunately, the other hives were not destroyed, and the poisonous bees inside were not so manic. Just block the entrance and exit of the hive, and then use another small hole, and then use a syringe to change the pipe, and pour the smoke in. In this way, none of the poisonous bees in the hive can come out, and they are all smoked to death in the hive. In this process, Fu Bin helped to use the negative energy state to excite the flame on the jackal hair that was slightly controlled, and the effect was even better.

In this way, when the team used up the beast fur and firewood they brought, they had cleaned up five beehives and obtained nearly twenty kilograms of honey, plus the carcasses of thousands of poisonous bees also had dozens of kilograms. Forget about the rest of the hive, first, there is no material to ignite, and second, it is too time-consuming to get this, and you can't stay here all day. The corpses of the poisonous bees were thrown directly to the entrance of the cave and let the drone come over to deal with them, and Fu Bin and the briquette couldn't look down on these contribution points, and the other four people each shared a dozen points. Fu Bin didn't ask for much honey, and only let the briquettes help him load three kilograms, and the rest of the others also shared.

After the distribution, in addition to the briquettes, the others are ready to go down and mine some spars. Although Fu Bin said that most of those spars were of poor quality, after all, there were quite a few of them, and they were still attractive to a few of them who were eager to improve their cultivation level. The briquette is already level three, according to him, if there is no level four guidance model, the cultivation at this stage is only to consolidate the cultivation level, the total amount and quality of entropy energy is already difficult to improve, and it is impossible to promote to level four, so the demand for spars is not urgent at all.

This time, Fu Bin stayed in this cave for more than four hours in total, and after Yun Huaxue and the mermaid picked up the two of them, they were already waiting impatiently, so they decided to go back to the base directly.

It's still early, there are still two hours before it gets dark, this section of the wintering rift is in full swing, the departure of the four people seems a little abrupt, and their bulging backpacks have also attracted the covetous eyes of many people, but there are briquettes, a third-level combat power, and Yun Huaxue, a notoriously deadly one, although Fu Bin is a newcomer, but because of his own combat skills, he is also a little famous in the base, so no one dares to provoke their team.

The briquette changed from his usual talkativeness, and said with a serious face: "Bing, do you have anything else to find down there?" ”

Fu Bin's insight into briquettes is not surprising, after all, he is a person who has lived for more than 40 years, and he can see it more or less with his own eyes, so he nodded and said: "There were many people just now, and it was inconvenient to speak." Then he explained the matter of the silicon-based creature in detail, originally he and Yun Huaxue each planned to transfer 30 units of energy to briquettes and mermaids, but considering the loss and waste, he finally decided to go back and identify the remains of the silicon-based creature first, and then distribute it.

Back at the base, Fu Bin didn't care about his exhaustion, and directly took the three of them to the biological laboratory to find the ** dragon. **As soon as Long heard that he had found a suspected silicon-based life, he was really excited, looking at the pile of crystals put together, and praised again and again: "It's really a silicon-based life!" ”

The briquettes and the mermaid were also the first time they saw this creature, and their faces were incredible. Fu Bin hurriedly asked, "Old Yang, have you ever seen a silicon-based life?" ”

"Ahem! This one...... I haven't seen them, but I know they exist. ”

Fu Bin sighed with emotion: "I can't think that there are even this kind of life forms that only exist in theory, so are there more forms of life forms?" ”

**The dragon hung everyone's appetite and said: "Anyway, what may exist theoretically can exist in this world, and there are still many unknowns that you need to explore." ”

"Old man, can you help us identify its entropy energy reserve distribution, we can distribute it?" Mermaid Road.

"Yes, but you have to promise me one condition."

Fu Bin said: "What conditions?" ”

"Leave it with me for one night, let me study it, and come back tomorrow to get it, so I can waive your appraisal fee."

Fu Bin looked at the other three and saw that they all had no opinions, so he nodded in agreement. **Long asked Anne to take a bunch of instruments, and after a while, he said to Fu Bin: "The entropy energy reserves of this silicon-based corpse are 360 units, and they are very pure, but unfortunately a lot of them escaped in the process of being split by you, if it is complete, there are at least 500 units." ”

Everyone was amazed that this kind of entropy energy was a particularly pure resource, which could help break through the bottleneck of the level, and its value was much higher than that of ordinary spars. At the same time, it's a pity, but no one can blame Fu Bin, after all, what he did was not wrong at all. ** Long said: "This is not all, the body of silicon-based creatures is not just a bunch of crystals, just like our flesh is not just proteins and fats, these crystals have complex internal structures and unique functions, so even if the entropy can be extracted, these crystals are still very good raw materials for production, which can be used to make some props with special functions, but this can only be achieved by going to the frontier base." ”

The briquettes and the mermaid sighed again, but they couldn't share the spoils yet, so everyone was ready to leave first. However, the dragon stopped Fu Bin: "Have you forgotten that your hyena is still here?" ”

Fu Bin nodded hurriedly: "Oh, yes, I was a little excited today, and I almost forgot about it." ”

"Come with me and get it."

Although Fu Bin wondered why the ** dragon didn't ask Annie to pick it up, he still obediently followed, and Yun Huaxue and the three of them left first.

Walking to another room, Fu Bin couldn't help but say, "Old Yang, do you have anything else to say to me?" ”

"The kid has grown a little!" **Long pointed to Fu Bin's face with a lewd face and said, "Tell me honestly, was your face pumped by a woman?" And it was smoked when he was playing hooligan? You see that these finger prints are separated, if you really shoot the insects, the fingers should be together, so that the insects are not easy to run away. ”

Fu Bin blushed and said, "Old Yang, you are really like a torch, but this matter is really not what you think, it is just a misunderstanding." ”

"Hehe, how many beautiful stories start from misunderstandings."

"You didn't pull me here just to make fun of me."

**The dragon put away his lewd smile and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, how much do you know about silicon-based life?" ”

"That is, I heard about a concept, but I don't know the specifics."

"This kind of silicon-based creatures live underground, are not afraid of high temperatures, can eat lava, collect nuclear energy as an energy source, and have a large number of radioactive elements in their bodies, their survival resources are intersecting with carbon-based organisms, and surface organisms are completely two ecosystems, and the one you encounter is likely to appear by accident."

Fu Bin said in surprise: "Elder Yang, can you get so much information from its corpse?" ”

**The dragon nodded and said, "The level of sycophants is good!" ”

Fu Bin smiled embarrassedly: "But I have a question that I am very confused. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Why can silicon-based creatures be used by us for cultivation, but carbon-based creatures like us can't?"

"Looks like you know a lot about this." **Long Rufeng nodded knowingly and said, "But this question, you'd better explore it yourself." ”

Fu Bin thought for a while and said, "Could it be ...... Because carbon-based life is scanned? ”

The dragon showed a hint of appreciation: "You think quite deeply, but it's not right, whether it is scanned in or not, it is a real lifeform." I can tell you that in fact, the spars we use to cultivate are also silicon-based lifeforms. ”

"Ahh Fu Bin couldn't bear to be surprised, his brain was racing for a while, and then he nodded abruptly and said, "Elder Yang, could it be that the cultivation spar is a silicon-based plant?" No wonder the planet has such high reserves of such radioactive crystals, and no wonder that silicon-based creatures feed on them. ”

"Huh......... You're pretty quick thinking. **The dragon sighed, but said: "But your statement is not rigorous enough, the concept of plants and animals is only applicable to life on earth." Here, it is ordinary carbon-based organisms, and the boundaries between animals and plants have been blurred, not to mention completely different silicon-based organisms. ”

Fu Bin nodded: "Then what should this kind of life be called?" ”

"Uh......" ** The dragon couldn't answer for a while, so he had to say: "How to say it, it's not quite right to say that it's life, like these spars you brought back this time, strictly speaking, they belong to an existence between living things and non-living things." They can grow and replicate themselves slowly, but to say that they are life seems to be contrary to our experience, because they have no stress response, and if this is life, is wall nitrate also life? But if you want to say that it is not a living being, but it does have a certain anti-entropy ability and the characteristics of life, so it can only be said to be a half-life. ”

"This world is wonderful!" This kind of cognition completely subverted the cognition, but Fu Bin is also a relatively receptive person, and he immediately understood, but he still has a question: "These spars brought back from the cave of silicon-based creatures are not the same as those in the base mine, right?" ”

"Yes, most of the spars in the form of minerals are similar to fossils, completely dead things with no living characteristics, but these you found this time are alive."

"So, these hedrons are worth more?" Fu Bin was pleasantly surprised, and was preparing to go back to get more when he wanted to, hoping that they would not be ruined too much by the wind and rain in life.

The dragon shook his head and said: "This kind of spar 'life' is different from the one you killed, and the reason why it is said to be half-life is because they also have a characteristic, that is, they are not like ordinary plants that can grow when they are planted back." Once they leave the ground, they lose any of the characteristics of living things, and like plucked hair, they immediately become dead creatures. If only in terms of cultivation value, the fossil form of the spar is better, and under certain conditions, the spar that is old to a certain extent may be mineralized like the best of the star, while yours may have to put it for hundreds or thousands of years to reach the general quality. ”

I didn't expect Xinghui Stone to come from like this, but Fu Bin couldn't figure it out, and said in a daze: "Why is this?" ”

**Long seemed to realize that he had revealed too much information again, glanced at Fu Bin, thought for a while, and then said, "Do you say that raw food is easy to digest, or is it better to digest when cooked?" Of course, these fresh hedrons also have their value, and are the main raw materials used to make entropy arrays and entropy weapons. ”
