Chapter 3: Prey and Hunters

Compared to hunting, for Jiang Feng, fishing is much easier.

Fishing rod?

Fishing net?

Sorry, but that's all primitive stuff.

As the only survivor of Kardashev's Class III civilization, he naturally couldn't use something so low.

Took out a pair of pacemakers from the medical box in his backpack, adjusted the power to the limit, and looked at the fat fish in the river, Jiang Feng's face showed an evil smile, and after deducting the power-on switch, he slapped it directly at the river.

I saw a string of electricity crackling, and the two fish that were still swinging their tails in the river before didn't even have a chance to struggle, and turned their bellies directly.

The movements in his hands did not stop, Jiang Feng quickly put the pacemaker into his backpack, and reached out to scoop up the fish closest to him from the river. However, at this moment, a wave of alarm suddenly rose, and almost at the same time, the alarm sound of the brain sounded in the brain.

[Warning, dangerous species are approaching!] 】

There was no time to hesitate, Jiang Feng reflexively let go of the fat fish in his hand and jumped behind him.

Almost at the same time, the "rotten wood" lurking in the reeds by the river opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Jiang Feng's previous position with lightning speed!

The hairs all over his body stood on end, and with the combat instinct he had learned in the military academy, Jiang Feng pulled out the Galaxy K1 from his waist almost instantly, and before the crocodile could catch up, he aimed at its head and pulled the trigger.

Bang two gunshots.

The white arc flickered, and the projectile, accelerated by the magnetic rails, was discharged, and two columns of blood exploded on the crocodile's skull.

With its tenacious vitality, the crocodile staggered a few steps towards Jiang Feng, and finally fell to the ground with its mouth drooping.

Jiang Feng, who was gasping for breath and sitting on the ground, didn't see clearly the monster attacking him until this time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull.

"This body type...... It's a little too big. ”

It's seven meters long, and it's the size of a car

Jiang Feng guessed that this was mostly related to the oxygen content of the planet.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Feng took off the short knife hanging from his belt and touched it towards the crocodile's corpse.

Poking it in the eye with the tip of his knife to make sure it was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.

Using the rope to wrap around the crocodile's front legs twice, Jiang Feng dragged the crocodile to the bushes far from the shore and began to deal with today's prey.

The crocodile is a treasure all over its body, known as the "soft gold", its meat is delicate, both the freshness of aquatic animals and the wild fragrance of land animals. In particular, the tail and neck are crystal clear, like sheep fat jade.

Thanks to the Centauri's Federal Military Academy, which attaches great importance to the quality education of cadets, in addition to the 36 compulsory courses, there are 12 elective courses that must be credited in order to graduate. When he was a student, Jiang Feng was a top student in his class, such as "Extraterrestrial Biology", "Extraterrestrial Botany", "Extraterrestrial Linguistics", and "Planetary Exploration...... Even in an unpopular and difficult course like "Alien Gastronomy", he got an A+ grade.

Dealing with a crocodile is not a difficult task for him.

Because this guy was very big, Jiang Feng was not afraid of wasting it, and after cutting off the fattest tail and neck meat, he simply peeled off the crocodile skin, and as for the remaining hard and old meat and bones, he threw them aside, ready to be used as fertilizer.

As he sliced the meat with his short knife, he noticed the capuchin monkey hanging from a nearby tree, baring its teeth and squealing at him. These clever little guys, with a greedy look, don't dare to come close when they want to come.

With a grin, Jiang Feng took a piece of meat from the crocodile's back and threw it towards the monkeys.

"Twitter!"

The monkey with a white spot on his head reacted most skillfully, grabbed the crocodile meat into his arms, and before a few of his companions could react, he cleverly jumped to the tree next to him.

Watching several monkeys scuffle together over a piece of crocodile meat, Jiang Feng smiled and swung his knife to split the crocodile's skull. However, as soon as the knife was cut, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, only to see a faint point of light faintly visible under the knife edge on the back of his head.

"What is this ......?"

Muttering to himself, Jiang Feng squatted down, put his hand into the back of the crocodile's head, and pulled out a thumb-sized crystal from it. I saw that this crystal emitted a faint green light, like an emerald. But unlike emeralds, its source of light does not come from anywhere else, but from itself. Even if Jiang Feng closed his hands, he could see that it was emitting a faint light in the darkness.

"Brain, scan it."

[Roger, scanning......]

[Determine the chemical composition, ...... for organic matter crystals]

[No fluorescent material found.] 】

[Analysis of the origin of the light source......

[Lock the cause, stardust content 3.] 】

Stardust content 3?

Jiang Feng was stunned.

As a special being that can make up any matter, any matter naturally has a fixed proportion to stardust.

For example, the stardust content of a ton of gold is 1, and the stardust content of a ton of silver is 0.2, and special minerals such as mosimite may reach 4 per tonne, but it is the first time he has heard of something like this that can directly reach 3......

Moreover, it is still such a small piece, and the weight may not be comparable to that of an egg.

Theoretically, through something called a stardust printer, it is possible to turn the purified stardust into anything. As small as a kitchen knife to as large as an empire-class starship. Many of the Earth Federation's warships are equipped with a Stardust printer to quickly print and replace damaged parts.

Compared to 3D printers, this thing can be said to be countless times more powerful.

No matter how complex the material, as long as its structure can be analyzed, it can be printed in a short time, ignoring all synthesis processes, even the raw material itself. After all, the stardust that makes up the world is itself the source of all matter and energy.

Of course, the more complex the materials and parts, the more stardust is needed.

If you want to replace all the steel-resistant armor on the Shuttle with hadron material armor, I'm afraid that the stardust of the entire planet will add up enough to choke. But if you just fix the warp engine, antimatter thrusters, and antimatter energy stacks, about 10,000 points of stardust will be enough.

Well.

Hunting a giant crocodile grants 3 Stardust crystals.

Ignoring the conversion efficiency of different substances to stardust, it should be enough to hunt about 3,400 giant crocodiles as big as before. Of course, considering the conversion efficiency of the mass-energy converter on the Shuttle, it may be tens of thousands.

Jiang Feng felt that it might be easier to collect 10,000 tons of gold and use the mass energy conversion furnace on the Shuttle to slowly purify it.

Stuffing this spar into his backpack, Jiang Feng decided to wait until he had time to study this thing. Although it was impractical to use it to repair the Shuttle, this kind of organic matter crystal, which can accumulate stardust, still aroused his considerable interest.

This interest is in no way inferior to his magic in the idealistic civilization.

Purely because of the intellectual curiosity of an interstellar explorer.

Several monkeys in the trees were nowhere to be seen, Jiang Feng finally checked what he was going to take away, and then picked up the bag full of trophies and walked in the direction of the Shuttle.

The location of the Shuttle is not very far from here, and although it took a lot of time to get there, it took less than half the time to get back.

After moving the crocodile meat to the kitchen of the Shuttle and cutting it into pieces and stuffing it into the freezer, Jiang Feng used today's prey to make himself a unique flavor of "Alien Salt and Pepper Crocodile Cutlet".

Because it has been tested by brain scanning, it is confirmed that it is not toxic, so it can be eaten with confidence.

The meat is delicious and juicy, and the grilled medium-rare meat steak is tender and looks like jelly when you bite into it. After eating two servings of the delicious black pepper juice in a row, Jiang Feng wiped his mouth and stopped the knife and fork in his hand.

In addition to the nutrients that were forcibly injected by the hibernation pod when he first woke up, it can be said that this is the first lunch he enjoyed after coming to another world.

And it's such a hearty meal.

Leaning on the seat in the cockpit, facing the empty bridge, enjoying a moment of leisure after lunch, Jiang Feng's consciousness couldn't help but drift away, drifting towards the "Star Ring Era" that had been annihilated in another world.

He never imagined that one day he would drift to a strange star field, land on an uninhabited planet, and most likely spend the rest of his life here.

It's just that when all this really happened, he accepted it with unexpected calmness.

After all, a long time ago, he planned to wait until he retired, and use his savings to buy a small colony ship and a Rourka all-terrain space rover, and go to the corner of the galaxy to find a scenic uninhabited planet and spend the rest of his life there.

It's just that this day has been brought forward.

And it's a long, long time in advance.

It would be nice if someone came into this world with me......

Shaking his head, Jiang Feng decided not to think about such an unrealistic thing.

Traveling through another world is rare enough in itself.

As for traveling to the same world......

Rather than expecting this, it is better to expect that the ruler of this universe is also human, and to treat him as a visitor from outside the world.

With his right fist on his chest, Jiang Feng, who had never believed in gods and goddesses as the captain of the "Star Ring Era", silently prayed in his heart for his former subordinates.

If they don't die.

I wish they were better off in another world than I am......
