Chapter 252: Advantages and Disadvantages (II)
On the way to the deepest part of the road, Robin witnessed countless strange-shaped biological weapons in the cabins on both sides of the road.
"You see, this is a very common [Tamu Hand-Hit] 'Unicorned Fairy' creature armor on the battlefield of the extragalactic system. Its function is similar to that of our heavy infantry vehicles, the horns of the head are very sharp, which can easily cut through our fortress defensive walls, and their mouthparts can spray a kind of grease-like slime at high pressure, and its spray speed can be close to the speed of sound due to the action of high pressure in the body, so in the process of friction with the air, this kind of fleasy fuel grease will ignite, forming a high-temperature column of fire with a temperature of thousands of degrees, and the lethality is very amazing. These needle-shaped cuttlefish with a similar shape to the stinger are the biological missiles of the Insats, and when they control the target of this biological missile, they will keep part of their limbs in the form of tentacles in the body of the needle-shaped cuttlefish, on the one hand, they control the flight of this biological missile, and on the other hand, they use radar-like electromagnetic bō to lock on to the target. The mouthparts of the needle-shaped cuttlefish are their rocket boosters, which gain huge thrust by spraying high-energy gases. In addition, there are flammable compounds in their bodies that are more powerful than our explosives, and the power produced when hit is definitely no less than that of a high-explosive bomb. Hoffmann the Great introduced them one by one on the way, giving Robin a general understanding of the role of these biological weapons in the most concise way.
"Biological missiles? 【Tamu Hand Hit】"
If the 'unicorn' biological armor that resembles a beetle is still within Robin's understanding, then this biological missile with a structure similar to that of a cuttlefish makes Robin feel a little incredible. After all, it is really against biological principles to turn a living creature into a missile dedicated to suicide, and the launch and targeting of missiles are done by pure biological instinct, which makes Robin find it difficult to understand.
"Human technology is inherently borrowed from the special instincts of other creatures, just like radar, and the reason why we were able to develop radar systems is because we found inspiration in the sonar exploration of bats, and thus developed radar systems. The submarines of the old era found inspiration from whales. It can be said that the chemistry of our humans itself borrows from the chemical instincts of insects, and in physics, our mechanics also borrows a lot from arthropods in the development of our machinery. Biology is a wonderful thing, and in the old days, many migratory creatures like migratory birds could cross more than half the world in their lifetimes, and how did they locate themselves in the process? How do they get to the right place at the right time without radar and no GPS positioning system? Hehe...... In terms of understanding of magnetic fields and tides, we humans are far inferior to other living beings. Hoffmann the Great patted Robin on the shoulder like a kind elder: "The development process of human beings is too long, as the cradle of life that gave birth to the intelligent species of human beings, the earth has passed 4.6 billion years so far, and the early algae life was born more than two billion years ago. In other words, human beings are intelligent life that took more than two billion years for the earth to develop. This period of time is too long for biological evolution, and it has left an indelible imprint on the earth in the instinct of human beings, an intelligent species. Therefore, in a sense, human beings are intelligent species created specifically to adapt to the earth, if 10,000 years ago, human beings did not rely on external objects but still relied on their own instincts, perhaps until the destruction of the earth, we human beings would not be able to get out of space, out of the cage of the earth. And the Insats are different from us, they are born space life. Therefore, in terms of biological starting point, they are higher than us humans, and they have developed carbon-based life forms unique to surface life in the invasion of the planet's surface, so the world has no limit for them. They have a civilization of nearly a billion years, and we are only 10,000 years old, compared to them, we are just babies in intelligent species, and they are already adults. ”
"But...... But biological missiles? Robin scratched his head in annoyance, to be honest, he still couldn't accept this kind of thing.
You're suspicious of their tracking system, and Hufman the Great saw Robin's troubles and explained in detail: "You see, the spiky space cuttlefish has eyes, which allows them to track light sources. Moreover, the nervous system of this spiked cuttlefish itself is very developed, and after being stabbed by the bioelectric impulse of part of the body of the Insat, the body surface of this needle cuttlefish can also form a thin layer of ionosphere. This allows them to fight on the surface of the planet and in space, where they have a relatively short range due to the fact that some of the electromagnetic fields need to be used to generate magnetic levitation, while in space, their electronic radar can cover a wider range and therefore have a longer range. ”
"But they were born to commit suicide? This...... How is this possible? ”
"Pigs were born to make us eat meat? Cows are born to help us plow the land? Hoffmann the Great smiled disdainfully: "It is very common for high-end species to dominate low-end species, and hunting is just a rudimentary model. With long-term breeding, high-end species can easily change the physiological instincts of a low-end species. And don't forget, the Insats are experts in this area, and the silicon crystals secreted by them can isolate the EEG of other creatures, so that their own EEG bō dominates in the body of other creatures, so that modifying the instincts of creatures is as simple for them as it is for us to eat and drink. And in my opinion, in fact, this is the ultimate mode of life evolution, the biochemical technology that has been established by dominating other species and making perfect use of the biological instincts of species. In contrast, our human technology is limited by congenital deficiencies, and has developed unconventional technology that is beyond the living things themselves. We rely more on external objects to make up for our own shortcomings, and the evolution of the environment of 2 billion has given us the ability to transform the environment with foreign objects. As for the Insats, they are the pinnacle of biological evolution, able to adapt to any environment and make good use of all the advantages of the environment. So, to use an analogy, the Insats are very much like the nomads in the history of human civilization, with great destructive power and attack. We humans, on the other hand, are similar to farming peoples, and we need a huge space to grow up slowly. ”
Hoffmann the Great explained, and walked forward with Robin and Lì Ona. Soon, they reached the end of the corridor and saw the huge empty cabin, which was indescribably empty.
"It's ......"
Looking at the indescribably huge monster in the cabin, Robin and Lì Ona were stunned. They couldn't believe that there was such a huge monster in the world, and this monster turned out to be the space starship of the Insats.
"This is the dragon chrysalis, a giant starship that is the most common of the Insat's space creatures." Hoffmann the Great opened the hatch and walked in first: "You see, it has huge horn-like bone plates on its back and on both sides of its body, which are composed of extremely hard cuticles, and the inside is a hollow structure. ”
"This is the launcher of the Insat biomissile?" Robin thought of the needle-shaped cuttlefish just now, and naturally connected with the missile launcher on the human starship.
"You can say that, but it doesn't exist purely for the purpose of launching missiles." Hoffmann the Great opened the three-dimensional diagram and extracted a plan of the internal structure of the dragon chrysalis: "You see, its ...
