Chapter 2 No. 2 Eco Cabin

Entering the No. 2 ecological cabin, the first thing that catches your eye is a scorched black earth, which looks like it has been burning for a long time, and there are still sporadic sparks in the distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut due to the failure of some of the lighting equipment, it began to be a little difficult to see from a distance of 100 meters, and I could only vaguely see a tall object standing there in the distance.

"Well, it looks like the monitor sees it, and it doesn't look like there's any sign of a creature." Zhou Xin scratched his head, "Combat robots, get ready, it seems that those creatures appeared suddenly." ”

Before the words fell, the battle robots had already set up their formation. The firefighting robot went to the burning area and began to extinguish the fire, and the engineering robot began to clean up the fallen buildings and tree trunks.

Zhou Xin looked up at the ceiling and found that the ceiling not far away was sparkling, the exposed wires were still burning, and flames fell from the sky from time to time.

"It looks like a short circuit in the wires caused the whole area to catch fire and burn, and then the combustion caused the whole area to lack oxygen, but where did those strange creatures come from, it stands to reason that such a low level of oxygen is no longer enough to sustain life." Zhou Xin looked at the ceiling and thought, "Don't think about it first, you'll know when the time comes." ”

It didn't take long for the robots to clear a clearing. So, following the open space cleared by the engineering robot, Zhou Xin took the combat robot to advance the formation step by step. Zhou Xin walked forward and observed the surrounding situation, but there was nothing of great attention except for wreckage and wreckage.

After walking more than 50 meters, the huge object gradually showed its true face, it was actually a big tree, compared to the surrounding burning trees, the upper end of this big tree had reached the ceiling of the cabin, and even some of the branches had destroyed the ceiling, and the wires exposed on the ceiling were entangled, along the ceiling, its crown extended outward for nearly 100 meters. What is also exaggerated is the diameter of the entire tree trunk, which is about ten meters wide from a distance, and five or six people may not be able to hug it together. Of course, it is particularly strange that some of the small trees growing around this big tree have been burned down, only this big tree, although some of its branches have been burned, and there are also scorched marks on the trunk, but only part of it has been burned, and most of this tree is still very intact.

"What's going on, how can there be such a big tree in the second ecological cabin, I remember that the longest tree here has only been planted for less than three years, how can it grow like this. Moreover, it is strange that such a large tree has not been burned. Scout bots, send one over to scout the situation. Zhou Xin said to the robot beside him.

"Understood." One of the probe robots left the position and walked towards the tree. But halfway through, the detector heard an alarm. "Warning, warning, detection of a large number of life forms approaching, detection of a large number of life forms approaching."

With the sound of warning, Zhou Xin heard a large number of rustling sounds coming from the big tree, and the voice was gradually approaching, he quickly called back the robot, "All units get ready, let's see what these creatures are." ”

After a while, the voice grew louder and louder, and finally, in the middle of the fallen trees, the creatures showed their heads.

Seeing these little things, Zhou Xin was really frightened, "What is this?" Mouse? No, it seems to be a vole, and it's not quite like it, host, search the database of the second eco-cabin to see what this thing is. Guys, get ready to fight, destroy them first. Before the words fell, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded around him, and the combat robots all raised their guns and began to shoot at the "vole", and in an instant, the "vole" running in front fell a large piece.

"The terrain here is too open, and if you continue to fight, you will have an accident." Zhou Xin looked around, "Isn't there a place like a building that can be used as a cover?" Scanning around, he saw that there was no place to hide except for a few charred trees. Zhou Xin looked at the soles of his feet, "It looks like you can only dig a trench, engineering robots, dig a trench behind the battle line, combat robots, hold the battle line first, and then go in and continue to fight after the trenches are dug." Saying that, Zhou Xin also shot and killed two "voles" that were approaching.

The battle lasted nearly ten minutes, and the front of the robot position was already covered with a thick layer of "vole" corpses, but there were still countless voles rushing here from the front. Zhou Xinli began to get nervous, "This amount is too much, has this ghost place become a rat's nest, how can there be so many such small things." At this time, the trench behind him had been dug, and Zhou Xin took all the robots to hide in the trench first.

At this time, the communicator came the news of the shipborne host: "The analysis of the rodent is preliminarily completed, and after DNA comparison, the creature is 98% similar to the grassland rat originally bred in the No. 2 ecological cabin, and it is preliminarily determined to be a grassland mouse mutation, and further analysis shows that the sex chromosome mutation of the grassland rat causes this grassland mouse to take only an hour from birth to maturity, and the excessive growth of the population causes it to be aggressive for survival resources, and its attack weapon is teeth, and the danger is low." ”

"Even at a low risk level, that's an exaggeration." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "I still know that there are many ants that bite and kill elephants, traveler, do you have any good suggestions, can you only harvest them here all the time, how did you control the number of this group of small things before." ”

"Natural control, each ecological cabin has its own independent ecological cycle, unless there is a major ecological disaster, otherwise the laws of nature can maintain the ecological cycle of each ecological cabin, the second ecological cabin originally has a lot of natural enemies of grassland rats, these natural enemies can naturally control their number. Therefore, there is no alternative for this ship to perform. The Voyager reported.

"It's a real problem." Zhou Xin said. "It is reported that there are still 30% of ammunition stocks, there is not enough ammunition, there is not enough ammunition." At this time, a hint came from the surrounding battle robots. Zhou Xin looked at the gun in his hand and found that there were only three rounds of ammunition in the gun. He looked ahead and saw that the prairie rats behind him were still rushing towards them. "Exit first and think of a way, it's useless to consume them." Zhou thought confidently. "Retreat, the battle robot is broken." Then he gave the order to retreat.

As they retreated step by step, Zhou Xin found that there were fewer and fewer prairie rats rushing towards them, and when they exited the gap, Zhou Xin found that there were no prairie rats rushing out to continue chasing them.

"Seal the gap first, lest these little things get out." Zhou Xin commanded the engineering robot. Then he returned to the command room first.

"Traveler, send more detection robots out to check the condition of the whole ship, especially the damaged part of the fixed detector, and see if there is any abnormal condition in other places. If there is a situation in other places where the No. 2 eco-cabin is also in place, it will be a big problem. As soon as he arrived at the command room, Zhou Xin wanted to command the shipborne host.

"Understand that during the implementation of the ship-wide detection, the sensitivity of all detectors is adjusted to the highest, and it is expected that the ship-wide detection will be completed within three hours." The traveler replied.

"Okay, now let me think about the condition of the No. 2 eco-cabin, an abnormally growing tree, a group of vigorous steppe rats, but these little things don't dare to run out of the No. 2 eco-cabin. It felt like I was protecting something. Well, yes, what are they supposed to be protecting, what are they, is it the Rat King? Or something else that needs to be protected. Regardless of what they are protecting, they must be guarding something, and below is where that thing is, the current terrain in the second ecological cabin, it is impossible to hide in the burned dead wood, then it seems that the truth of everything should be on the side of the big tree. Well, I'll send more robots in tomorrow to take a look. Thinking of this, Zhou Xin said to the screen. Voyager, is there a more detailed analysis of the Eco Class 2? ”

"The analysis of the prairie rat has been completed, except for the reproductive ability, there is no change in other living habits, according to the analysis of its reproductive laws and the analysis of the environment in the No. 2 ecological cabin, it is preliminarily concluded that the number of grassland rats in the ecological cabin will not be less than one million. The analysis of the large tree, on the other hand, could not be completed due to insufficient samples, and according to its morphological analysis, the tree had grown for at least a hundred years. The traveler replied as a graphic of the prairie rat and a detailed analysis of it appeared on the screen.

"A million! That's not a lot anymore, isn't it? Zhou Xin was surprised, "I have to quickly come up with a way to deal with them, although they can't run out of the No. 2 ecological cabin for the time being, but if they run out, then the captain of this ship will not be me." Zhou Xin patted his head, "Otherwise, use poison or something to deal with them." ”

The graphics of the prairie rats on the screen changed for a while, and the data around the graphics were also constantly beating, and after a while, the data beating on the screen stopped, "The plan is not feasible, according to the reproduction rate of the prairie rats, if they are eliminated with drugs, they will develop resistance after eliminating a third of the number at most." The Voyager analyzed it for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"Biological weapons?" "The request is rejected, biological weapons will have unpredictable consequences on the ecological environment inside the ship, and the machine refuses to carry out your plan." "Well, don't take it so seriously, I'm just thinking about it." Zhou Xinxin said in vain. "Captain, this idea of yours is very dangerous." The host replied seriously. "Okay, okay, then it seems that we can only use conventional weapons, if you are in the ship, even the use of large-yield weapons will cause accidents, it seems that our rat extermination operation this time is really difficult." Zhou Xin scratched his head, "Let's send more combat robots in tomorrow, let's push it over." "Your order, Captain."

=A Calm Night=

After a night's rest, Zhou Xin stood in front of the command platform in good spirits. "Traveler, what do you need to report?" Zhou Xin said to the screen with a cup of tea in his hand.

"From the report of the engineering robot G-001, the repair of the shell of engine number two has been completed, and a detailed evaluation of engine number three is now underway to determine the repair option." "In addition, a detailed reconnaissance of the ship's interior has been completed, and no anomalies have been found except for the eco-compartment, and overgrowth of plants has been found in the No. 1 eco-compartment, and some of the crops planted such as rice and wheat have even grown to two or three times the height of the original crops." What's even more strange is that the plants in the No. 3 eco-cabin actually grow in reverse, many mature fruit trees have turned into small saplings, and some trees have even returned to the state of tree species. Cabin 4 is even more bizarre, with some plants overgrowing and others growing in reverse. ”

"Such a strange situation, it seems that it was affected in the process of passing through the wormhole, and it seems that this effect can only affect living things." Zhou Xin muttered to himself, "The situation of the No. 2 ecological cabin is easy to explain, but this time there are more mutated creatures." The host, record all these changes and compare them with the footage of the wormhole to see if you can find the cause of these changes. Then all that's left is to deal with the uninvited guests in the second eco-cabin. After speaking, Zhou Xin stood up, "Host, have you thought of any new way to solve those more than a million little things?" ”

"Flat push, my captain." The Voyager replied solemnly, "I have activated all the combat robots that can be activated, and they are now on standby at the door of the second eco-pod. ”

"Looks like I'm really going to be a general and command a battle." Zhou Xin patted his head and walked out of the command cabin, "You were originally a general, Your Excellency the Captain. "The voice of the ship's main engine came from behind.

After a while, Zhou Xin once again stood at the door of the No. 2 ecological cabin, and behind him was the assembled robot troops.

"Captain, the battle robot team is ready and ready for call." Combat robot B-001 reports to Zhou Xin. "Open the gap, let's get rid of the troublemakers." Zhou Xin ordered. With that, he saw B-001 open the gap that had been closed yesterday and walked inside, followed by other combat robots standing behind it. Not long after B-001 entered, fierce gunfire erupted from inside, and the battle to exterminate the rats began.

"Are you well prepared, don't run out of ammunition for a while like yesterday, you must know that we are going to eliminate more than a million prairie rats." Zhou Xin asked the host. "Everything is ready, and today some engineering robots have been specially mobilized to be responsible for transporting ammunition." The traveler replied.

"Well, that's good, then I'll go in and see what's going on inside." After speaking, Zhou Xin walked into that gap again......
