The explorer shook violently, and although the condensed matter shield resisted the impact of the high-energy particle flow, this sudden movement of thousands of kilometers caused the interior of the explorer's cabin to shake violently.

Especially those things and crews that were not fixed, they were directly thrown into the meat, and the battleship was a mess.

"Calm down, the enemy can't break through our defenses, prepare to counterattack." Ma Wu stood calmly in the cockpit and commanded loudly.

"Captain, the Explorer appeared in 11 places where the lines or pipelines were damaged."

"A mining ship collided with the bulkhead......"

"Justice, you're in charge of the Explorer's internal management of the damage." Ma Wu turned his head and commanded.

"Yes." Kobayashi immediately saluted, and then threw himself into the work of managing the damage.

What did Ma Wuzheng want to say......

[Alert, exploration satellite KT02 destroyed...... The exploration satellite KT06 was destroyed...... ］

"Captain, this is the remaining 6 exploration satellites, the data that has just been transmitted back, and the thing that attacked us just now is this." Fang Haibo hurriedly said.

Ma Wu and Zhang Handong looked at the partially enlarged image on the holographic star map, and were suddenly a little stunned, this thing is a bit like a millipede, but the size is very huge, judging from the data, the length is more than 16 kilometers, and the width is at least about 0.8 kilometers.

However, such a large-sized creature, Ma Wu and the others have not seen it, and it is very huge compared to the two mobile fortress beasts on Mars.

But the reason why Ma Wu and the others were more surprised was the energy, this alien millipede could burst out with a huge energy of 1.24 million charges, and directed the energy to attack the explorer, which shows that this monster not only has high energy, but also has a certain intelligence.

"Captain, what do we do now? Direct attack?" Fang Haibo asked.

Ma Wu shook his head and ordered: "Haibo operates the explorer, we will retreat to a distance of 30,000 kilometers from the candle yin star, and then think about it in the long run." ”

"Okay." Fang Haibo immediately operated the explorer and a group of pilots to retreat, and on the other side, Kobayashi Masayoshi was also repairing and sorting out the damage inside the explorer.

Ma Wu continued to look at the holographic star map while operating the remaining exploration satellites, focusing on the situation of alien millipedes, and Zhang Handong was also helping to analyze the data.

"This millipede and the alien jellyfish seem to be in a symbiotic relationship." Zhang Handong pointed to some partially enlarged images and said.

I saw that in the image, there were many holes on the very large body of the millipede, and countless alien jellyfish were going in and out, but the millipede beast did not feel the same for these alien jellyfish.

In this case, only a parasitic or symbiotic relationship can be explained.

"After the millipede beast launched a high-energy particle attack, the energy reaction of its body has dropped a lot, and it is currently only about 2~40,000 charges." Ma Wu touched his chin and said.

"Judging from the results of the analysis, this millipede beast should have the ability to absorb the energy of the earth's core." Zhang Handong pointed to the millipede beast that was rolling in the magma and said.

Ma Wu nodded: "The creatures of this planet seem to have the property of absorbing energy, I am in the cockpit, Commissioner Zhang please take a look at the situation on the side of the scientific research team." ”

"No problem, leave it to me." Zhang Handong turned around and floated towards the cabin where the scientific research team was.

As a warship, although the Explorer occupies a lot of space with weapons and equipment, as a warship, the Explorer is also a long-distance scientific research ship, equipped with all kinds of scientific research equipment.

As soon as Zhang Handong walked into the scientific research cabin, Meeks, Toyota Ashikaga, and Li Heng were discussing the matter of alien jellyfish and millipede beasts.

"Three doctors, do you have any clue about these alien creatures?" Zhang Handong asked.

Meeks thought for a moment and replied: "I have found out some information, mainly about alien jellyfish, as for the situation of millipedes, we can only rely on the data we have collected for preliminary analysis." ”

"There is no doubt about the phagophage of alien jellyfish, they are a typical silicon-based creature, and they are of the same biological line as the mechanical beasts, we will call them ...... for the time being," Li Heng said as he called up the holographic projection.

[Silicon-based - Energetic - Red Jellyfish]

[Silicon-based - Energetic - Lava Millipede]

"Silicon-based creatures?" Zhang Handong took a closer look at the analysis report.

Li Heng pointed to the information on the holographic projection and explained: "That's right, it's silicon-based organisms, silicon-based organisms are different from carbon-based organisms, they have three major specializations, first, the gene chain is a quadruple helix; Second, high metal content, generally the metal content in the body is between 20~70; Third, there are intelligent and energy cores. ”

"Since it's a silicon-based creature, can the Soth civilization's mechanical beast control technology be used on red-veined jellyfish and lava millipedes?" Zhang Handong asked whimsically.

"Theoretically feasible, but this wild silicon-based creature, we have encountered it for the first time, and we need to discuss with the Republic of Helich how to subdue it." Li Heng nodded and replied.

Toyota Ashikaga floated over: "I have contacted the staff of the scientific research department just now, and soon the scientific researchers of the Helic Republic will ......"

[There is a holographic communication request from the Republic of Lek in Martian territorial waters.] ］

"Connected." Toyota Ashikaga nodded in agreement.

Holographic projections of several Soth researchers appeared in front of everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Reilly, we've checked the information you sent, and we didn't expect you to discover a new group of silicon-based creatures." The Soth scientist who took the lead, Reilly, was excited.

"I don't know, can we use the method of controlling the mechanical beast to control the two silicon-based creatures we just discovered?" Li Heng asked straight to the point.

Reilly explained: "It depends on the situation, we have also studied the mechanical beast for a long time to find out the control situation, and the energy phage has just been discovered, we need to get enough data, preferably genetic samples, so that we can reverse analyze the characteristics of silicon-based organisms." ”

"Okay, we'll arrange for someone to get the genetic sample as soon as possible." Li Heng nodded.

The group discussed for half an hour before they dispersed to prepare.

Zhang Handong hurriedly told Ma Wu about catching live red-veined jellyfish and extracting the genes of lava millipedes, Ma Wu turned his head and picked up the communicator: "Sergeant Lin Zhiqiu, your first combat team is ready to go to the candle yin star to catch a live red-veined jellyfish, and find another opportunity to obtain a genetic sample of lava millipedes." ”

"Roger."

The first battle team took a day-by-day destroyer and headed towards Candle Yin, and in view of the lava millipede's intelligence, the Sun-Eater destroyer did not land directly on the A8A9 area of Candle Yin Star, but chose to make a detour to A2 area on the back side of Candle Yin Star.

Of course, even if it was a detour to the back, Lin Zhiqiu did not take it lightly, after all, they didn't know how many strange creatures there were in the Candle Yin Star.

In addition, the Explorer, which is 30,000 kilometers away from Candle Shadow, has also raised its alert, and if the first combat team that lands has a problem, they will immediately go to the rescue as fast as possible.

The day-by-day destroyer slipped around the front of the Candle Yin Star, and by the way, it launched 6 exploration satellites to supplement it, and then prepared to land in the A2 area of the Candle Yin Star.
