Chapter 7 Problems

Unbeknownst to Moran, the men of the Allied Third Fleet were receiving a sealed high-strength transparent glass with the same maggots that had destroyed all the drones before. In order to facilitate long-term observation and experimentation, a lot of siliceous materials are placed in tempered glass. Because there is no gravitational pull, the siliceous waste is suspended in mid-air.

These green maggots cling to the material, and when they don't land, they burrow into the siliceous material, up and down.

"That's part of the maggots, and we're continuing to study the rest in the lab." The handover biologist wore a thick spacesuit and spoke to the scientists of the allies in front of him.

At this time, they were in a transport ship of the Third Fleet of the Allied Powers, to prevent uncontrollable factors during the experiment, and all the experiments would be carried out on this transport ship. Because it is a transport ship, there is no gravity device, and everything that is not fixed around it is suspended in mid-air. The ship's hatch slowly closed. If the experiment goes wrong, a small black hole bomb around the transport ship will consume the transport.

The black hole bomb is the most advanced weapon of mankind so far, and human beings have done a lot of research on controlling the power, one of which is the invention of the small black hole bomb. Of course, if it is a powerful black hole bomb, it will not be able to be controlled.

These scholars came voluntarily, and as a scholar, they could be on the front line to contact such unknown creatures, as long as they were careful, there would be no problem. Even when something goes wrong, they are pioneers.

The allied scientist nodded, then adjusted the camera on the spacesuit. Of course, there are also several cameras around the entire transport ship, recording their words and deeds. This may be the first time that humans have come into contact with cosmic creatures, most of whom have previously studied the corpses of the dead and treated the wounded in the service of war. The first time was to learn about other forms of life in the universe.

"It's a green maggot that's about two centimeters long, and the body is very small, about three or four millimeters." Scientists from allied countries looked at the maggots inside through the glass, "Take maggots on the earth as an example, such small creatures generally do not have vocal cords to make sounds. The scientist said, looking at the siliceous material suspended in the glass.

Now they can only observe through glass. If you look at these small maggots up close, they are likely to be attached to your spacesuit. But they couldn't do any better research because they were isolated from the glass.

"We're sending projection robots in now. You watch for maggots to escape. The scientist said in a deep voice. If they want to do more research, they have to get up close and personal. They will never get the information they want through the glass.

After saying that, the scientist from another allied country floated to the side of the shelf, where there was a set of devices, which was the projection robot that the scientist said. In some studies that cannot be touched, there are still many applications of this projection robot. A thin layer of silk threads was worn over the spacesuit, while another set of robots, when turned on, mimicked the scientist's movements. This robot is more sophisticated than many people think. There are also several cameras around the robot's body, which project what the robot sees into a three-dimensional object, so that people who have not been in contact with the robot can easily observe it.

After a brief trial, the equipment is in good condition. The lessons of the previous drone are still there, but if you don't want to find death by yourself at this time, using a projection robot is undoubtedly the only way. They're going to separate the siliceous mass and study the creepy maggots separately.

Opening the glass door from a distance, the allied scientists controlled the projection robot into the airtight glass. When the door was opened, the maggots, which had been very quiet, suddenly became agitated, and many of them even jumped up from the silica material and rushed towards the glass door. However, the opening time is very short. When the door is opened, the space around the glass door is purified with flames. At least for now, humans have not found a creature that can survive the flames.

The projection robot was soon crawling with those maggots, and it was rapidly multiplying, and in about ten minutes, the scientists of the allied countries found that the three-dimensional siliceous material projected in front of them was a little blurry. It didn't take long for the projection robot to make many people in front of the screen feel cold.

Almost dismembered, the projection robot quickly gnawed away in some weak places such as joints, and then scattered into countless small pieces.

"That's the only place we know at the moment. These maggots appear to feed on metal, and when they eat metal, they multiply rapidly. Captain Lochor said to Admiral Hawke on the other end of the screen from the bridge. The only thing that is known now is that they don't seem to like silicon very much. Just attached to it. Captain Locke's words undoubtedly gave Admiral Hawk a headache on the other end of the screen.

He can't joke with human life. This unknown creature seems to have a predatory instinct for metals. When the glass door opened on the screen before, the movements of those maggots made many people feel a sense of horror.

It was precisely because these maggots had little interest in silicon that Captain Luo Xian used reinforced glass to keep these terrifying maggots in place. As for the room where some maggots had been exposed to before, they were all burned with fire. And after confirming that there is no problem, I will continue to study.

Looking at the projection robot that was disassembled in the tempered glass, Captain Luo Xian couldn't imagine what the final outcome would be if it were a human. However, they are not using live experiments yet. Maggots that already look like this are already terrifying, and it would be a nightmare for everyone if they mutated in live experiments.

It is precisely because of this consideration that in vivo experiments have been put on hold. As for sending a landing force or something, it was also postponed indefinitely.

At the same time, Captain Luo Xian also felt a headache for this creature. If there is hell, then the current Red Ice Star is like the entrance to hell, which makes people shudder.

But why would the Protoss give them this task with little to no clue? I think it's because there are things that humans don't know.

"Keep researching!" Captain Luo Xian didn't have much of a thought about this creature. All the places where the instruments come into contact are replaced with silicon. Then the continuous experimentation of various metals, human beings finally had to come to a pessimistic information, that is, this maggot seems to be not interested in silicon, most of the other metals are their food.

And it has been more than half a month since such a conclusion was reached. This small green maggot has a strong ability to survive. It can survive for several minutes in a vacuum environment and will not have any discomfort when submerged in water. In addition to not being able to tolerate the high temperatures, this tiny creature is almost a small overlord of the universe.

Of course, these things are unknown to Mo Ran, the big-headed soldiers. As for the troubles of the captain and those scientific researchers, they naturally won't care. But staying in one place for too long, even if the scenery is very beautiful, will end up with some visual fatigue.

And at this time, Mo Ran was like this, sitting next to the porthole again, he looked at the Red Ice Star in the distance below, and now he spends most of his time sitting here looking at the Red Ice Star in the distance, thinking about the task, and feeling a little bored.

But soon his attention was drawn to the other side, because he saw Ye Luo, and he hadn't seen her for half a month. Although sometimes there is a little loss, he knows that it is impossible between the two of them, but he will still be a little excited because of her appearance, but his face still shows a cold look.

Ye Luo's expression was a little tired. In recent times, she has also listened to many scholars' opinions on the maggot called green worm. But in the end, there were no useful conclusions.

If you want to complete the mission of the Protoss, those mechanical equipment are already unreliable. But now they are still not sure about doing live experiments, and even when they say that they will immediately incinerate the test subjects when they find something unusual, Captain Luo Xian does not agree. For some who support the captain's approach, that's poise. But for some impatient people, this is conservative and timid.

Everyone has their own opinion. And Ye Luo undoubtedly agreed with Captain Luo Xian's approach. After all, no one can predict what will happen next. The best thing to do is to do a little experiment as you do now, and wait until you have a general understanding before making a final decision.

When he looked up, Ye Luo found that he had unconsciously come to the porthole. And in another porthole not far away, Mo Ran was sitting there and seemed to be in a daze.

I don't know why, Ye Luo felt a little relaxed when he saw Mo Ran.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Ran picked up the cup in front of him, and then jumped off the maglev chair and came to Ye Luo's side. "I apologize for my friend's recklessness like you last time." Mo Ran didn't know what kind of topic he should use to talk to this ice girl, so he could only drag Rogge out as a substitute for the dead ghost.

"Nothing." Ye Luo said lightly. She suddenly found that this should be the first time she had a normal conversation with Mo Ran, and there were too many external factors before. Then he reached out and rubbed his forehead to relax himself. She's been getting a little tired lately. The experiments were non-stop, and she and Cai Wei were observing for several days, taking notes and reports, and talking about their thoughts.

Of course, these are things that Mo Ran and the big soldiers don't know.
