In the northwest corner of the sea of dust, Team 2 is hiding at the entrance of a cave that is several kilometers long and hundreds of meters deep, the cave is not dark, but is beautifully illuminated by the cold light emitted by the special crystal ore, and the surrounding temperature does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius, so it was chosen by Team 2 as a temporary foothold.

There was a strange thing around them, with an earthy yellow appearance, about the size of a bull, not only that, but this strange thing seemed to be quite solid on the surface, smooth and flat to the touch, and if you looked closely, you would find that the strange thing actually had a complex structure, divided into different body parts, and therefore a life.

As a result, Team 2 has found the alien life that the advance team has been dreaming of.

However, this alien life seems to be very lazy, and despite the crowd around it, it remains motionless, oblivious to humans, until a rock sample is accidentally dropped, which sparks its interest and raises its mouth to chew on it.

"This is alien life?"

"Nonsense, don't you see it moving?"

"It's hard to imagine that we should take the initiative to complete the third type of contact."

"Be careful, didn't you notice that its shell was similar to that of a tank? If we have enough power, we can definitely knock us all away. ”

"But... It looks docile, and if it feeds on ore, it won't attack people casually. Another female player guessed.

"Anyway, hurry up and report to the base camp, don't let people preempt!" The team leader shouted loudly when he saw the gossip of the people around him, and after his reminder, the team members remembered that they had just been too focused on observing this alien life, and they forgot to report it.

The discovery of alien life, let alone 1 million merits. No one would think that the feats were useless, so a few minutes later, several teams that were still busy looking for traces of alien life received the "good news" of the discovery of alien life.

However, after learning that Team 2 was just wandering around for a while, they encountered alien life and threw themselves into the net, and the rest of the group expressed their frustration and indignation, feeling that it was too unfair.

When Joe Canal heard the news. I was happy in my heart, thinking that they finally had results worth reporting to the base camp.

He hurriedly gave an order to let the 6 teams intensify the search, and make persistent efforts to find the laws of the activities of alien life, social class, and the best way to lure it back.

Because I learned from Team 2 that the newly discovered alien life named "Crystal Worm" is like air to humans, and it hardly reacts at all. He believed that the crystal worm would not be too threatening, and should not be an enemy like the unknown, so he must treat it as a protective animal.

"In short, in the future, the crystal worm will be our East Galaxy Company, you must not do something messy." Qiao Canal repeatedly instructed that he knew that there were a few foodies in the advance team, and what he thought about every day was whether he could eat it or not, and what were the benefits of eating. How to burn it, if they do something unforgivable to the crystal worms. He will definitely be punished severely.

Not long after, due to the lucky discovery of the No. 2 team, the subsequent teams gained one after another.

For example, Team 4 found a nest identified as a crystal worm, and through deep geological exploration equipment, it was found that the nest was more than a few dozen square kilometers and located at a depth of 250 meters underground. It is conservatively estimated that the number of crystal worms inside will exceed 50,000.

As for Team 6, they boldly went deep into the nest of crystal worms, photographed the living habits of crystal worms, and learned that they were afraid of strong light. It is very rarely active on the surface, and has not been seen in the past 1 year.

Another piece of good news was that Team 2 found the crystal worm that was successfully abducted back to the base, this crystal worm appeared to be an adult, most of the material in the body was metal, and weighed about 2 tons, and no one could move it and had to go through a transport vehicle.

Fortunately, the metabolic speed of the crystal worm is extremely slow, it does not need to breathe, and it needs to ingest about 1 to 2 kilograms of ore at a time to survive, so it did not regard the engineering vehicle as its food, so it was sent back to the vicinity of the base by them in a daze.

Wuyue, who received Qiao Canal's request, commanded the engineering vehicle in advance to dig a 10,000-square-meter underground space 3 kilometers away from the base, surrounded by heavy metal cement, as a new home for crystal worms.

The No. 2 team returned first, and the remaining teams had to stay in the equatorial dust area to intensify their observation, collect more crystal worm data, and bring back a few more if they were the best, so that the amount of samples at hand was more and it was not easy to cause any problems.

Nebas was the first member of Team 2 to discover the worm, and due to his unintentional behavior, the worm was quite close to him, and he was appointed as the keeper of the worm, with the responsibility of taking care of the worm's daily life.

Nebas regretted a little, thinking that he was a regular employee of the East Galaxy Company, and he had to do such a low-level job, and even had to take care of an alien life with an IQ similar to that of a child, and he was a little devastated.

However, as the so-called men and women are not tired of working together, because of the existence of Miss Jin Ling who cooperates with him, Nibas feels that he is not unlucky to come home, and has the opportunity to contact the gentle and kind Miss Jin Ling every day, and even pull and pull, thinking about the long-term love, maybe his life events will be solved?

Nebas walked into the nest with a huge feed basin, and the crystal worm that smelled the smell of food hurriedly ran out and arched towards him, and Nibas put the feed basin down again, patiently watching the ugly eating appearance of the crystal worm pressing its body directly on the feed basin.

Jin Ling recorded on the side, "Today is the 15th day, and the crystal worm has adapted to life here, maintaining a stable daily routine, and its weight has increased from 1850 kg to 1890 kg. ”

"However, there are still a lot of secrets that we don't know, such as how big the crystal worm can grow, how long it lives, how it reproduces, and how it can help us."

Jin Ling finished recording, "Mr. Nebas, it's hard work, how about we take the crystal worm for a walk later?" ”

Walking is a kind of fitness activity invented by Jin Ling, although the movement speed of the crystal worm is not fast, the plus points in terms of modeling can attract the attention of quite a few people.

In the quiet underground corridor, Jin Ling sat on the back of the crystal worm, and was dragged forward slowly, Nibas was responsible for protecting her safety, walking in front to lead the way, and from time to time there were team members left behind on the road to look sideways, so that Jin Ling's face was bright.

As mentioned earlier, the metabolism of crystal worms is very slow, and most of the time is spent in a daze and sleeping every day, and the nest is so large that it is not possible to see other behaviors of crystal worms for the time being, such as nesting and reproducing.

So after a 2-hour walk, completing a 5-kilometer walk back to the lair, Nibas was ready to get off work.

He was finally able to open the communication window and contact a few of his friends.

"Nibas, have you heard? Team 6 discovered something new, and the nest of the crystal worm was made entirely of ore, implying that it was a mineral-producing life. ”

"Minister Qiao's No. 1 team has also abducted 3 new crystal worms, and they will be sent to the base by tomorrow at the latest, presumably your side will be busy again soon."

A friend sent him some gossip, and Nebas responded one by one.

Soon one thing made him care - the advance team studied the crystal worms and unanimously agreed that they were qualified to be called the specialty of the Hope Star, therefore, Qiao Canal planned to tilt a large amount of resources towards the crystal worm business from next year, and strive to create an industry that belongs to the Hope Star.

Doesn't this mean that he will soon take on a more important mission? His heart suddenly became hot. (To be continued.) )
