Chapter 58 Collecting Samples
Mo Ran nodded, agreeing with the captain's inference. "Anyway, if it weren't for the fleet's help, we'd probably have to face that creature right now!" I thought to myself, maybe it would be nice for them to not have to deal with such a creature directly!
The team continued to move forward, and although it was much more difficult than before, the broken ice crevasses were also good enough to block some of the cold winds. It didn't take long for Mo Ran and the others to come to the side of the huge creature, and the scene in front of them made them a little shocked.
In the center of the huge ice cave, the creature has been frozen into an ice sculpture-like existence, because of the reduction of pressure in the body, this creature is not so much hit by the attack of the space-class battleship as killed, it is more appropriate to kill itself, and the sharp decompression has caused its body to be a mess. A creature that soared through the sky that they had seen before had been frozen in this corpse.
"This creature ......" The captain didn't know what words he should use to describe it, before this creature was obviously thinking about how to control the pressure in his body so that he wouldn't die quickly, but then those creatures that could fly in mid-air just forgot about what it tortured. It may be that this creature has the impression that it can be rescued as long as it rushes out of the ice, but I didn't expect that those creatures seem to be more resistant to stress than it. What was supposed to be a sumptuous feast was interrupted by the attack of the warship, and the creatures fled into the ice after being attacked.
"Be careful, I don't know what other abilities these creatures have." Mo Ran whispered as he watched several androids walk into the creature. As the captain had said before, the creature had a lot of tiny scales on its skin, but as it rose and rushed here, the spacing between the scales widened considerably.
"Are there any traces of the undead among those flying creatures?" Mo Ran turned his head and asked the Protoss guards on the side. After all, the creatures were pale and unsettling.
"No, it's just an ordinary creature." The captain of the guard whispered, then looked to the other side. They were now next to a huge piece of broken ice, and the huge corpses were sheltering from the cold wind, so they didn't feel anything but cold here.
"It's hard to imagine that such a huge life form could be born here." The captain whispered as he stepped on a piece of ice. He looked at the creature that had burst out of the ice in front of him, he could no longer see the overall image of the creature, but the white flesh and frozen creature made him feel like a corpse that had been bleeding, which made him very uncomfortable.
"There's a lot we don't know!" Mo Ran chuckled and said, just like the Protoss once discovered a dragon-like creature on a gaseous planet, there were still too many things in this universe that they couldn't understand and prove. "Let them be careful, be careful when taking samples, I don't know if this creature is the same as life on a gas planet."
Hearing Mo Ran's words, the captain couldn't help but chuckle. "How can it be the same, the environment in which the two are located is different, how can it be the same creature." However, he still passed on Mo Ran's words. No one knows what the characteristics of this creature will be, let alone whether the sample will be harmful.
"What happens to these samples after that?" Mo Ran asked softly, he hadn't done anything like this before, so he naturally wanted to know how the captain would deal with them.
"We're going to take enough samples and then analyze the composition and structure of the creature." The captain looked at the huge corpse in front of him, and in such a cold place, the corpse only had slight traces of freezing. Apparently the creatures here have evolved how to withstand the cold. But that's not what he needs to worry about, it's how to get enough samples. "Then a preliminary inspection is carried out to confirm that there is no danger before being sent to the fleet. However, it will take some time to send it back. Speaking of this, the captain couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"How long has it been since you went back?" Hearing the confusion in the captain's words, Mo Ran couldn't help but chuckle and ask. After the androids in the distance confirmed that there was no danger, the members of the Sirius team had already rushed over, passing through the ice covered with broken ice streaks, and they walked cautiously.
"I don't know, I've lost track of time here." The captain whispered. "I never thought about going back, but I still feel homesick." The captain's words made Mo Ran slightly stunned, he used to be one of them, if he hadn't met Captain Zod, and then the Protoss started a mock battle, now he might be the same as the captain next to him, I don't know when I will be able to go back.
"Sorry for letting you see the joke." Mo Ran could hear a nasal hint in the captain's voice, and then he walked towards the creature in front of him. "I'll take a look, or those boys will be lazy."
Watching the team go away, Mo Ran sat down on a piece of ice on the side, and casually picked up a piece of crushed ice from the side and held it in his hand.
"How long have you not been back?" Mo Ran flipped the ice cube in his hand and asked softly. The Protoss guards on the side were on guard around them, and the Protoss captain beside Mo Ran was slightly stunned. I don't know if Mo Ran is asking him this sentence. The Protoss don't have the concept of home, and they don't have the concept of home since they first migrated out of their own universe. If there is, it may be the home planet of the Protoss! But they never went back, not since they were born.
Seeing that the Protoss captain didn't answer, Mo Ran thought that the other party didn't know that he was talking to him. Then he smiled bitterly and threw the ice cube in his hand. Standing up, he also followed the captain of the Sky Wolf Team towards the huge corpse.
The division of labor among the Sky Wolf squad was clear, and several sergeants set up several brackets around them, and then unfolded them. A very thin, almost transparent windproof film is pulled out of the bracket and completely envelops the middle. Here, they want to perform simple experiments to prove the safety of these samples, but also to prove that these samples are safe in the sample tube.
It was very difficult to take samples, and the sergeant's knife could not cut through the scale armor of that creature at all, and the disastrous body structure under the scale armor was also very hard to cut off.
Mo Ran came to the side of the leader of the Sky Wolf Squad, who was watching as two or three sergeants cut through the creature's body supports. By their standards, this would have been the skeleton of the creature in front of them, but the spectrometer showed that the skeleton was mainly composed of a high-density carbon-based compound and a small amount of water.
"How long will it take?" Mo Ran asked the captain on the side.
"I don't know, at the moment we're only seeing part of this creature, we don't know the rest of this creature. For example, the internal organs, as well as the digestive system of this creature, the source of nutrients that maintain the structure of the body, etc. The captain whispered. Although the creature was very long, it was only five or six meters thick on its body. The battleship's attack left it with a massive wound on its body, and some androids were already standing above the corpse, ripping off several of the flying creatures that had died in the attack.
This is not an easy task, compared to the serpent-like creature in front of them, those relatively small flying creatures are not resistant to cold. The flying creatures that were exposed were frozen into ice sculptures. If you want to get them out, you have to smash them.
"Are samples of these creatures also going to be brought back?" Looking at the flying creature that had been broken into several pieces, Mo Ran asked.
"Well, this creature isn't very big, maybe you can just take it back. And this big snake, we can only sample. The captain said helplessly. For them, this is already a relatively common thing. No one knows what these creatures will carry. It is possible that it is an unknown virus that can kill humans, or it may have a genetic sequence that allows humans to overcome some diseases.
Hearing the captain's words, he accidentally didn't care about them, after all, he didn't have the right to take care of this matter.
"Let's move faster!" Mo Ran watched as the android used the tool to put down the corpse of the smashed flying creature little by little, and there was naturally a wolf sergeant below to seal it in a large box. But before sending it away, they definitely have to do a simple check.
"By the way, the Environmental Transformation Device of the Dragon Flame Legion, you know?" Looking at these sergeants in action, Mo Ran suddenly thought of the matter of the Dragon Yan Legion. Turning his head to look at the captain beside him.
"I know, but because of one incident before, now the Dragon Yan Legion no longer takes over tasks from those Protoss merchants, and this matter has been put aside." The captain sneered and whispered, then turned to look at Mo Ran. "It's the personnel of the Longyan Brigade you saved before. After they explained the matter of the Protoss merchants, the rest of the personnel also began to refuse to accept the tasks of those Protoss merchants, and now we only accept the tasks of the Protoss military, and the matter of the environmental transformation device has also been put down. ”。
As the two legions of the Celestial Empire outside, there is naturally communication between them, and the Heavenly Wolf also knows about Mo Ran's previous affairs. Moreover, when the people of the Heavenly Wolf Legion knew that Mo Ran was once a member of the Heavenly Wolf Legion, they naturally felt a light on their faces. Speaking of this, the captain couldn't help but look at Mo Ran. "When we received that we were going to be assigned to your fleet, everyone was very happy. After all, there is always a lot of discomfort in the Protoss. He couldn't help but laugh as he said that. However, I think there will not be so many landing combat missions after that! ”
Mo Ran was stunned, he didn't know if there would be more tasks in the future, but thinking of the current state between the Protoss and the Undead Clan, he thought that even if there were tasks, there would not be many of them, and then nodded. "Hopefully!"
