Chapter 9 Biological Guns

"Captain, are we going to land?" The first time he participated in interstellar travel, he encountered such a magical planet, and Li Jin couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart.

"No, we don't know much about this planet. Relying on the star maps on two ancient frescoes, we have followed the footsteps of the Three-Eyed people to this amazing planet, but they are not here, so why did they leave a message (star map) to guide us here? "Mysteries, interlocking mysteries, how can we unravel these layers of mystery? And on the magical planet Gaia in front of you, all the animals have a third red eye, what is the connection with the three-eyed people? Captain Lin was lost in thought, trying to find the connection between the mysteries.

Captain Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, "We need to know why the animals on this planet have such a structure. He said as he stepped up from the main console, "Release the drone and the underwater probe, and work together with the probe to collect data related to the third eye of the animal on the planet Gaia." I wonder how the hell all this happened. Whether their third, red, distinctive eye was born or later, and what exactly does this eye do? ”

"The drone has been released."

"Underwater probes have also been released." (Voice of the main computer)

The command room was eerily quiet, everyone staring at the holograms of their computers. Time is lost minute by minute, but each member feels that the time is extremely long, and everyone wants to get the latest valuable data as soon as possible, and they are anxiously waiting. The three large holographic screens of the main computer are constantly refreshing images and data.

"Surveillance satellites have begun joint work with UAVs, probes and underwater probes to begin collecting data on the formation of the third eye of animals on the planet Gaia。。。。。。" (Voice of the main computer)

,,,,,,

"Alright, everyone take a rest and return to the command room in three hours." Considering that it would take a long time to search for information, Captain Lin decided to let the tired crew rest first, so that he could straighten out his thoughts. He took a long deep breath and took a sip from his teacup. But he didn't seem to notice that the tea had already cooled.

The crew left the control room one after another, and only Captain Lin and Professor Cheng were left in the control room.

"Captain Lin, you should also take a rest." Professor Cheng walked up to Captain Lin.

"Professor Cheng, I have a bad feeling." Captain Lin looked up at him.

"Me 。。。。。。 too"

。。。。。。

The crew gathered in the dining room, and the nervous spirit and tired body were finally relieved. Liu Yiting and Chen Wenjing sat opposite each other, talking and laughing, and women always seemed to have endless common topics.

Zhang Lei sat next to Chen Wenjing and whispered in Chen Wenjing's ear: "I ordered your favorite orange juice for you." ”

"Thank you, husband." Chen Wenjing smiled and lowered her head, her cheeks were a little rosy, happy and intoxicated. The wheeled robot delivered orange juice.

"I envy you both." Liu Yiting said half-jokingly. Han Wei and Li Jin also sat next to Liu Yiting one after another.

"Yiting, I ordered you a cup of coffee." Han Wei said,

"I'm sorry, I've already ordered a cup of tea for Yiting." Li Jin always has a sunny smile on his face.

"Yiting has always liked to drink coffee." Han Wei glanced at Li Jin coldly, as long as he came into contact with Liu Yiting, this annoying guy would always appear.

"No, I don't need anything." Liu Yiting lowered her head and took a bite of food, and was cold to the two men beside her.

The robot still brought the tea and coffee. "Please take your time."

Two military personnel also sat down. They are typical professional soldiers, sitting upright, and the movements of ordering and eating are surprisingly similar.

"The biological systems of this planet are perfect, but there are no intelligent life forms. What a disappointment. In this way, the secret of the Three-Eyed Man remains unsolved. Chen Wenjing has not yet completely freed herself from joy.

"I don't think we're far from answering." Liu Yiting looked up at Chen Wenjing and saw the smile on her face, I don't know if her smile is out of Zhang Lei's concern for her or out of attraction to this planet, but Liu Yiting is a little uneasy in her heart, she doesn't know where this uneasiness comes from, she always feels that something is wrong, but she doesn't know what is wrong.

"I don't know what the two experts from the military think." Chen Wenjing turned his head and asked the two military personnel beside him.

"I'm sorry, we're done eating, we're out of company." The two got up and left the restaurant.

"Sometimes I feel like they're more like robots, haha." Chen Wenjing quipped.

"This planet has two moons, and the starry sky at night must be beautiful." Li Jin looked forward to it.

"Yes! It must be beautiful. Chen Wenjing said sideways and snuggled beside Zhang Lei,

。。。。。。

"After the relevant biological data is collected, the biological system of the planet Gaia is complex, and its basic biological amino acids are very different from those on Earth. All animals, including fish-like animals, birds, insects and terrestrial macrofauna, have three eyes. In the control room, the holographic screens of the three main computers are constantly switching pictures.

"The way the animals reproduce and the way the third eye is acquired is peculiar. This is information obtained from three different regions. "Three different species of animals were displayed on the three holographic screens. The A display screen shows fish-like fish, its streamlined body is very similar to the fish on the earth, except for the three eyes on the head, it does not have gills, but on both sides of the body, there are some holes arranged regularly. It had a swollen abdomen and was clearly about to give birth.

The B display shows a land animal with a saber-toothed tiger. The long tusks indicate that it is a carnivore.

The C display shows an insect-like phenomenon, and the phenomenon of convergent evolution makes it look like a locust on Earth. Except for its three eyes, it is much larger than a locust, twenty centimeters long, and has no wings.

Production of the creature in the three monitors begins. The organisms in A and B are viviparous, but the insect-like insects in C are ruptured in the abdomen, and the larvae crawl onto the mother's back after birth. All larvae have only two normal eyes and do not have a third eye.

None of the ship's members expected this to be the case, staring at the display screen with curious eyes.

The large carnivorous beast in the B display leads six small beasts through the woods to an empty "rocky field".

There is not much vegetation here, and there are some oval-shaped objects piled up on the ground, which look like piles of stone eggs from a distance. Some are in a pile of five or six, some are in a pile of seven or eight. Arranged irregularly. Some are black, some are brown, and other different colors. The size is also different.

Each ellipsoid has a ring of small red dots at the top, and the entire ellipsoid is encased in scales. The mother beast stopped, and the little beasts scattered.

Each of the little beasts sniffed the ellipsoids, but they seemed to be selective, and all chose the brown ones.

A small beast sniffed in front of a pile of ellipsoids, and suddenly, the top of one of the ellipsoids cracked into five petals. Out of the cracked hole was a worm-like brachiopod, and the head of the brachiopod was a fleshy cone, soft and sticky, with occasional drops of viscous liquid dripping from time to time, disgusting. The cone slowly approached the beast, and when it was about to touch the beast's head, it cracked into five petals like a blooming flower, like a sucker with five tentacles. The center of the suction cup is bright red like a jewel.

The suction cup kept moving in front of the little beast, and suddenly the suction cup closed, and the entire brachiopod retracted into the ellipsoid, and the ellipsoid quickly closed.

The little beast shook its head a few times, and went back to sniffing the other ellipsoids. It picks another one, and when the little beast sniffs on the ellipsoid again, the same scene reappears. The difference is that this time the suction cup did not retract after moving in front of the little beast a few times, but suddenly pounced on the little beast's face, firmly sucking the little beast's face. The little beast shook its head violently and screamed in pain, the neck of the tentacle broke, and the little beast fell heavily to the ground and twitched in pain.

The she-beast watched all this but did not react, she just watched her surroundings vigilantly. Not far away, a large herbivore also leads its cubs here. It was as large as a rhinoceros, with a sharp horn above its head, a third eye below the horn, thick scales all over its body, a long, thick tail dragging on the ground, and a spiky bone spur.

It is also choosing ellipsoids in its pups, but they are green ellipsoids. The two she-beasts looked at each other for a moment before looking away, apparently believing that the distance between them was safe.

The carnivorous beasts all stopped convulsing and rose from the ground one by one. The tentacles attached to their faces fell off, and there was an extra red eye between them. Their bodies have also changed, some of their claws have become thicker, and some of them have bone spurs on their tails.

"Oh my God." Professor Cheng has never seen anything like this. The other visuals are shown in much the same way – the mother leads the larvae, giving the larvae a third eye.

"What is this third eye for?" Captain Lin on the main console asked.

"A weapon. Bio guns. (voice of the main computer)

"Bio guns?" All the members were stunned.

"Please be clear." Professor Cheng has a lot of experience and has never heard of such a weapon.

"Bio-gun - this is a pure biological weapon that resides in the host body in a parasitic way. Obtain survival energy from the host while providing protection to the host. "The holographic display screen of the main computer switches the screen, showing the animals all attacking each other with bio guns.

"The bio-gun is so powerful that every time its host uses it, when their lives are in danger, it is unclear whether it will harm them." (Voice of the main computer)

It shows a herbivorous animal grazing with a horn on its head and a huge, rhinoceros-like body with its thick tail dragging on the ground with long, sharp bone spurs.

Suddenly, five large carnivorous beasts burst out of the bushes and attacked it, and the carnivores with long tusks resembled saber-toothed tigers. In the case of hopeless escape, herbivores can only defend themselves with sharp bone spurs on their heads and tails.

A saber-toothed beast attacked from behind, biting the herbivore's hind legs at once. The herbivore screamed in pain, struggling to break free, and the herbivore turned around angrily at the toothed beast, and a red beam of energy shot out of the herbivore's third eye, striking the saber-toothed beast's tail, which broke. The toothed beast screamed and used its bio-gun as well, hitting the grass beast's forelimbs, which broke off and fell to its knees, and the other saber-toothed beasts pounced on it, eating it bloodily.

"But one thing is for sure, the bio gun and its host are a two-way choice, and both the bio gun and the host are choosing the other side that is best for them. This selection mechanism is not well understood. (voice of the main computer)

The video screen replays the saber-toothed creature obtaining the Bio Gun.

"Another point is that once the biogun enters the host's body, it will affect the host's body. It strengthens certain functions of the host, which helps in the survival of the host. No intelligent life forms have been found on the planet, and all higher animals are oviparous or ovoviviparous, not lactating, and the larvae are early adults. It is unclear how this co-evolution of animals and bioguns came about, but it is certain that this co-evolution is deformed. "(Voice of the main computer) replays the process of the carnivorous baby obtaining the body of the biological gun.

"It's perfect, too." Professor Cheng muttered.

"I have a question, how do bio-guns breed?" Liu Yiting asked,

"Our drones and probes have gathered this information." The main computer's three holographic displays switch screens. A shows a group of large herbivores eating leisurely, different from the large herbivores just now, this group of herbivores have two horns, they are more like wildebeests. The third eye of the two herbivores that were close to each other suddenly stretched out from their sockets like tentacles, soft and sticky like worms, and their heads were like a sucker with five tentacles, and the middle of the sucker was bright red like a ruby, and the suckers were close to each other, and after looking at each other for a while, they hugged each other, and after a few seconds they retracted back into their sockets, and the two herbivores seemed to have nothing happened.

The B display screen shows that some animals have abnormally large necks, but they still move freely.

The necks of the animals in the C display screen are abnormally swollen and drooping, and they all come to the rocky ground. At this time, the neck of an animal was ruptured, and it groaned, producing ellipsoids from the rupture. Ellipsoids are stacked together, and each ellipsoid has a tentacle sticking out of its base, some of which reach into the ground, and some of which are intertwined with each other.

"I see." Li Jin watched intently.

"Judging from the available information, the biogun is hermaphroditic and allogeneic mating." (Voice of the main computer)

The secret of the third eye of the animal on the planet Gaia has been revealed, but the result is beyond everyone's expectations.

"That's all for today, everyone take a break." Captain Lin felt that he should consider his actions.
