"The Insats are dioecious, which makes each of them have a strong reproductive capacity. Relatively low-end vital signs, as well as fully replicating genomes, allow them to reproduce a large population from a single person in a very short period of time. ”

"These guys are very difficult to deal with, and in a face-to-face fight, ordinary knights have no advantage against them at all." Robin looked at the creature huddled in the corner of the cabin with a complicated gaze, shook his head, and said, "And even if our knight defeats the Insats equipped with "beetles, biological armor, it will be difficult to actually kill their bodies." They move too fast in short distances, and if I had just limited their speed without using the Force Field, I'm afraid it would have been able to get out of my range of attacks very easily. "Yes, that's why I say this living specimen is precious." Hoffman the Great shook his head a little helplessly: "Since I officially decided to open up the Big Magellanic System in 2076, on the battlefield of the Big Magellanic System, the Empire's army has been fighting against such opponents every day.

But the reality is that we have captured only ten live specimens in the past eight years, and seven of them were seriously injured and dying by the time they arrived. As a result, the living specimens of the Insats that I have left for my research are very scarce. ”

"Ten captured in eight years? The capture rate is so low? Robin's eyes widened in surprise, after all, compared to the tens of thousands of captives in the human battle, it was simply an unimaginable number that only ten people had been captured in the long battle in eight years.

"As you saw earlier, they're very good at escaping. Also, when equipped with bioarmor, the core is not fixed, usually on the back of the thick carapace of the head and back, but may also be replaced elsewhere when the bioarmor is heavily damaged. As a result, their fatal points are difficult to capture. On the battlefields of the Great Magellanic system, it is very common for us to break a bunch of biological armor after a battle. Speaking of which, Hoffmann the Great casually opened a few legends in the three-dimensional drawing: "In addition to being good at escaping, they are also very good at hiding. Physically, they are octopus-like molluscs that possess the same camouflage abilities as octopuses. In addition to being able to change their body like an octopus, they can also change their body form at will, blend in perfectly with their surroundings, and enter a hibernation mode similar to suspended animation. ”

"Fake death?"

"Yes, in suspended animation, their biomagnetic field strength drops to a very low number, so low that our biodetectors can't detect it. And they don't have to rely on oxygen to survive like we do, and they see oxygen as just food for them, along with other gases and minerals.

Therefore, they can adapt to oxygen-free, high-temperature, low-temperature, dry, and any other extreme environment that humans cannot survive. Therefore, if they want to hide on a planet, we simply cannot match their existence. Hoffmann the Great shook his head helplessly: "They have both carbon-based and silicon-based vital signs, and they are the strongest life forms so far. "Carbon-based and silicon-based vital signs? How is this possible? Lì Onia exclaimed in surprise when she heard this, in her opinion, it was impossible for a creature to have both carbon-based and silicon-based vital signs.

"How could it be?" Hoffmann the Great turned his head to look at Lì Ona: "You have studied the history of biological evolution, so you should know that in the early stage of the evolution of life on Earth, silicon played a very important role in it. At least for now, it is certain that the first carbon compounds in the early stages of life were formed on the surface of a silica with a specific spiral. Moreover, all the space life found to be alive in space is silicon-based. ”

"Then" Hoffmann the Great's words caused Lì Ona to ponder: "Then it is oxygen ......"

"Yes, the first mass extinction in the history of life on Earth was triggered by oxygen. Algae have evolved in the ocean, which produces large amounts of oxygen through photosynthesis. This oxygen caused great damage to the anaerobic bacteria that dominated the living organisms at that time, so that almost all the anaerobic bacteria on the earth were wiped out, and it was from this that the life on the earth began to be ruled by oxygen. "Did the ancestors of the Insats suffer a great crisis of oxygen? Are they survivors of ancient anaerobes? With Lì Ona's biology, she immediately understood why the Insats had both carbon-based and silicon-based life.

"It's more than that. According to my investigation, the origin of the Insats was not in the Great Magellanic System, they arrived in the Great Magellanic System after a long journey and began a large-scale invasion. Their true origin is probably the Andromeda galaxy, 2 million light-years away from our Milky Way, which was called the M31 nebula by Messier, the astronomer who first discovered it in the old era. The Andromeda Galaxy is twice the size of our Milky Way, and like the Milky Way, it is also a spiral galaxy, but the infrared radiation of the Andromeda Galaxy is very strong, and the infrared radiation of its quaroid core alone is close to the radiation of the entire core of the Milky Way. Infrared secondary radiation and high temperature are the primary conditions for the emergence of group-based life, so I believe that the ancestors of the Insats people should not be planetary creatures, but silicon-based space life parasitic in the celestial cores of the Andromeda Galaxy. ”

"So how did it evolve carbon-based vital signs that only life on the planet can have? Can you give me a reasonable explanation? Lì Ona asked.

"The Andromeda galaxy has a strong attack xìng, and the galaxies are clearly divided into 20 colonies, which indicates that the Andromeda galaxy is constantly devouring other smaller galaxies. The Insats came from the core of the Andromeda Galaxy, which was born before the Andromeda Galaxy was truly formed, and belonged to the evolved and mature space life. In the current observations, we find that the hydrogen content in the center of the Andromeda galaxy is only the old amount, and this ratio is much smaller than the hydrogen content of the galaxy, so it can be inferred that most of the gas in the Andromeda galaxy has evolved into stars, or is bound to the surface by planets. This phenomenon is probably the result of the Andromeda Galaxy constantly devouring other small galaxies, so I speculate that the planets in the core of the Andromeda Galaxy absorbed some of the small individual celestial bodies in space in the process of formation, or that the meteorites rented by the Insats landed on the planet's surface. As space life, after arriving in an aerobic and watery environment, the Insats must evolve or they will not be able to survive in this new planetary environment. ”

"I'm curious about how they evolved, silicon-based life can't survive in water, while carbon-based life is born in water, and the two are contradictory and can't be compatible at all."

Lì Ona interrupted Hoffmann the Great.

"Yes, I used to be bothered by this question as well, until I deduced a new conclusion." Hoffmann the Great separately extracted the red brain region of the Insats in a schematic diagram of their body structure: "This is the brain of the Insats, a purely silicon-based sign. Therefore, I deduce that after the ancestors of the Insats came to the surface of the planet, in order to avoid the harm caused by water to life, they deliberately strengthened the electromagnetic ability inside the body, and ionized air and water through electromagnetic reactions to ensure the safety of life. And, in order to adapt to the external environment, they began to absorb some of the carbon-based life that naturally evolved and turned them into part of their own body tissues, thus gradually beginning to evolve into the current pattern. "It is indeed possible to combine multiple single-celled organisms into a single multicellular life.

And it explains why they are born with such a strong electromagnetic field. Lì Ona nodded approvingly: "So...... Inside their bodies, in fact... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
