Humans are carbon-based life, and there is a mysterious silicon base beyond the carbon-based one. Payne comes from a large family and has extraordinary knowledge, and has more or less guessed the details of some black panthers.

The Peacock Talisman's eyes flickered, and he corrected: "To be precise, they are semi-silicon-based lifeforms, and their bodies are not formed under natural conditions, but are coated layer by layer. ”

At this time, more than a dozen figures floated up from the Cuckoo village, and the Cuckoo warriors who came with them immediately greeted them, and after some comparisons, they knew what was going on.

The shield turtle and the panther had been in the air for nine days and nine nights, and only one of them was a shield turtle stocked in the village.

Recently, these black panthers have become extremely restless, not allowing other creatures to set foot in the territory, and the two races want to fight to determine the victory and determine the ownership of a hundred miles.

"Moo...... led by the shield turtle spewed air through its nostrils, and the golden light above its head was brilliant, and it crashed into a black panther angrily. Black fragments were sprinkled in the air, and silicon-based life shattered like stone statues.

"Look, what's that?" Perrin's eyes widened, and the scene ahead was beyond imagination.

I saw a cloud of black grease rise from the falling fragments, stretch out with great speed, turn into a flying fish, and staggered away from the battlefield.

Seeing this, Payne suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "I see why the Cuckoo can't describe these creatures. It turns out that silicon-based life exists in a mimic mode and is not limited to one form! ”

Lin Xisuo raised his chin and said worriedly: "Young Master, don't worry about emotion first, these shield turtles look a little reluctant, and being expelled is inevitable, so what?" Will the Phantom fight against all silicon-based life within a radius of 100 miles? The shield turtle can block a blow from the auxiliary cannon, and I believe that these black panthers are not bad either. ”

Payne looked at the battlefield and nodded, "Not bad!" The silicon-based life shell is hard, and even if it is shattered, it has a good chance of surviving. And the silicon-based life that fights the shield turtle is certainly not the whole story, and the Phantom will be attacked strongly once it intervenes. However, the shield turtle does not accept help, it is a well-known tendon, what should I do? ”

The animal trainer used his brain, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, raised his feet and ran to the cabin, and it was not long to carry the little shield turtle he met halfway to the deck, put his hands in front of his mouth, and let out a strange "moo" sound.

"Brother Payne, what are you doing here?" Pei Lin was surprised.

"It's nothing, I'm trying to make a connection with the shield turtles, so that they can stop for a while, and don't take a gamble yet." Payne continued to scream, and finally there was a response from the other side, and the nine adult shield turtles slid near the hull and looked at the small shield turtle on the deck.

The first shield turtle approached, wanting to burrow into the energy shield, and Lin Xisuo hurriedly ordered the light brain to let him go. However, this "behemoth" could not be accommodated on the deck, and the volume of the shield was hurriedly expanded.

"Moo," the two shield turtles, one large and one small, cried out very regularly, and Payne put his palm on the forehead of the large shield turtle for a brief exchange.

The black panther on the other side stared coldly, and did not move. Half a minute later, Payne nearly collapsed, and whispered: "The problem is solved, the shield turtle has repaid the favor, and decided to suppress the battle and accompany us on a trip." ”

"Great, it seems that having an animal trainer on the ship has a lot of benefits." Linciso teleported to Payne's side and held him steady.

Payne had a look of regret on his face: "No, the shield turtle has additional conditions, and I hope we can adopt this little shield turtle." With their withdrawn nature, it is difficult to get together the rest of the time unless they encounter inter-population battles. It is believed that the cuckoo people are also free-range, not war beasts. Since one shield turtle is following us, the other shield turtles will never accept domestication. ”

Linciso shrugged indifferently: "Isn't that great?" There were orangutans, monkeys, blue eagles, and I didn't mind adding an extra shield turtle to the boat. The affairs of war beasts need to be taken into chance, and they cannot be forced. ”

At this time, the big shield turtle whispered at the black panther, and the silicon-based life did not say anything, turned away, and gradually moved away.

Subsequently, the shield turtles participating in the battle slowly floated away, and they needed time to rest. Payne agreed with the Great Shield Turtle to meet here in three days and enter the Black Panther's territory to help the Phantom find the Bitter Tree.

As the Phantom entered the village, a middle-aged man from the Cuckoo tribe suddenly floated over and shouted, "Welcome, welcome, traveler from afar, I, my name is Yuen Long." ”

Linciso almost thought it was an auditory hallucination, and the other party was speaking interstellar language, although it was not very pure, but it could be understood.

"Do you know our language?" The deck asked in unison.

"Isn't it weird? We Cuckoo also have many dialects, and I happen to be a linguist, so I learned interstellar language by chance. The middle-aged cuckoo tried his best to hide his smug look, and there were very few people in the village who were as bold as him and dared to approach the spaceship.

Linciso was very happy and smiled: "It's really difficult to communicate these days, and we welcome the help of a local linguist." I, the captain of this ship, are my crew. It is a pity that I can only speak through the shield, otherwise the captain of the ship would have invited Mr. Yuen Long to be a guest on board. ”

"Really? You mean to invite me to visit the ship? Great, wait for me a while, soon! ”

Yuen Long flew down in a hurry, and it didn't take much time to retrieve a belt, and it actually formed a simple ecological circle around the body. He knocked on the Phantom's energy shield and grinned at Lin Xisuo.

Linciso said polite words, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously, and he had an expedition equipment, which was obviously from a human hand.

How can you go back on your word as a captain? Besides, he was happy to communicate with the cuckoo linguist, and raised his hand to let him onto the boat.

"Hah! This is the great flying machine that crosses the universe, and the level of human science and technology is so well developed, maybe I can learn something from it. Yuen Long watched with relish, but in fact he was a layman, but he always pretended to be a jack of all trades, and this is the only example of such an interesting cuckoo people.

After looking at it carefully, Lin Xisuo asked: "Mr. Yuen Long, where did you get this belt?" We're curious, have you seen any other humans? ”

"I can't say I've seen it, it's a broken flying machine, so small and small that it can't compare to your ship. Half-buried in the glacier, the transparent windows are cracked, and there is a strange liquid left inside, as well as a corpse. I rummaged through humans and found a few items, in addition to this belt and a watch. Interstellar language is something that I learned little by little with my watch. How's that, that's a good point, right? "In addition to being intellectually curious, middle-aged cuckoos also like to be recognized by others.

Linciso was unsparing in complimenting: "In all fairness, it's really great. You will surely leave a mark on the history of the Cuckoo people. Mr. Yuen Long, can you borrow your watch for a look? ”

"Of course, but it didn't work half a year ago. Well, half a year, there is a gap with your standard time, and I haven't converted it. Yuen Long said as he took out his watch.

This is a quaint wrist-shaped light brain, and the peacock talisman pulls it over, separating red light for dialysis. While looking through and reporting: "Seven hundred and eighty years ago, a space laboratory passed through this place. Their research content happens to be silicon-based life. According to records in the wrist-based light brain, these silicon-based beings are simply virus mutants that can divide indefinitely when successful. Fortunately, their experiment failed, and silicon-based life went unchecked, attacking researchers on a large scale, and finally the lab crashed nearby. Many people are inexplicably infected, so emergency freezing techniques are adopted and rescue is waited. It's hard to say whether the rescue arrives, but we know that all the energy of the laboratory is used for refrigeration. Those glaciers didn't exist hundreds of years ago, and they were all created by humans. ”

The Peacock Talisman brings up a series of information fragments, which are terrifying. When a picture pops up, the red circles of the spherical robot shimmer and say, "There is a new discovery, and this space laboratory is also coming to the bitter tree." A certain substance extracted from the bitter tree has an obvious effect on the activation of silicon-based life. The Shield Turtle is a ship's cloned product that has undergone a complex process that allows the shell to be crafted into a mirror shield and sold to the Matrix Master at a high price. ”

Hearing this, Payne was furious: "What? Clone shield turtle? Kill and take the turtle shell afterward? What kind of lab is this? If you dare to do such a lack of morality, you deserve to be unlucky. ”

"And that's not all! This lab is engaged in a number of prohibited projects. And it's taking the shells of the baby turtles, and they don't wait until the shield turtles are fully grown. The peacock talisman added fuel to the fire, and the kind animal trainer's face became quite ugly. Dinner must have been saved, and there was a mourning for the dead shield turtle.

"Peacock, can you confirm the location of the laboratory, I want to go over and have a look." Lin Xisuo was happy to see the hunt, and everyone had a clear expression, knowing that the captain was going to pick up the bargain.

"Searching, please wait." The spherical robot pops up a large number of light screens left and right, compares them one by one, and finally locks on the five-kilometer range.

Yuen Long said hello to the village, and the Phantom flew into the glacier, and the sun's sails burst into the dry ice.

Dry ice has a melting point of minus 57 degrees Celsius and vaporizes easily. Yuen Long recalled: "Yes, it was from here that I found the flying machine. ”

The Peacock Talisman corrected: "Mr. Yuen Long, it may not be a flying machine, it may be a storage device such as an escape pod." ”

The sun sails were going to shine for a while, and Linciso took the time to go back to the captain's room, and after entering the door, he didn't look back and asked, "Tell me!" What is it about you that makes you so positive? ”

The Peacock Talisman replied unhurriedly: "This talisman has a procedure, and you should never reveal your true intentions in front of people. Silicon-based life and shield turtles, these are dispensable to you. The real research in the lab is related to pharmacists, and its research objects are silicon-based viruses as well as silicon-based weapons. There are even two pharmacists in charge of the project, and if the pharmacist's relics can be found, maybe ......"

Lin Xisuo knocked on the table and took over the conversation: "Maybe I can turn from a half-hung pharmacist to a regular one." Never reveal your true intentions in front of people, it's a cunning setting, and Captain Ben has been taught. ”

The excavation of the laboratory was much faster than expected, and two hours later a corner was revealed, and in order to prevent unpredictable danger, the Phantom stepped back a hundred meters, slowly melting the dry ice, and the energy shield was turned on at maximum power.

Gradually, a ruin was revealed, the upper half of which was like a fortress, the main body was slender, tattered, and covered an extremely wide area. Linciso decided to go alone.
