"From the anatomical data we've gotten so far......"

The corpse of the alien creature was dissected as quickly as possible, and Yao Yuan was currently standing outside the isolation cabin of the laboratory, watching the dissection in the biochemical room continue, while next to him, several scientists were explaining all this for him.

"The shell of this creature is made of a variety of metals, similar to a carapace, but its defense and toughness are at the level of ordinary alloys, and its hardest parts even exceed ordinary alloys, reaching the grade of medium-strength alloys, of course, these are not the key ......"

The biological scientist said with excitement on his face: "This is a new form of unique life, which can be said to be a kind of animal and plant ...... Yes, Major, you heard it right, this creature is not a pure animal, it has a plant in its body, that is, the kind of plant larvae that is absorbing the energy of the Hope, and the animal's physique and the plant combine to form the life form we see so far. ”

"First of all, these organisms don't need to eat any food, they just need water to survive, because water can give vitality to the plants in their body, and then they can get sunlight for photosynthesis, so they get their own nutrients, and they may not even need light......"

The biological scientist pointed to a small platform on the bench, where there was a small patch of greenery, and he continued: "When this plant is a young body, it can't absorb energy and metals, but it can absorb 11 percent of the unknown gas that is free in the air, and according to our experiments, it only needs to breathe this unknown gas, and then add water to synthesize the substance it needs, and of course, in the presence of sunlight, this reaction will be much faster. It's a biochemical reaction that we humans can't yet comprehend. ”

The biologist was very excited, but Wang Guangzheng, who was standing next to Yao Yuan, was very strange, and he asked, "I remember that alien creatures have strong acids in their bodies, right?" Since it is parasitized by this plant, why is there a strong acid? ”

The biologist immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's not parasitism, it should be a symbiosis, and plants have ...... Well, it has the role of mitochondria in our human body, this plant larvae is very fragile, uh, in terms of the environment of this planet, it is very fragile, once it lacks water, it will fall into a state of sleep, if it continues to lack water, it will die, if the vitality of the water is actually comparable to the vitality of the earth's plants, and it is not even comparable to the cactus or something. ”

"Therefore, when the plant is young, it needs the activity of the animal to find water, and the animal needs the energy of the plant to survive in this world without a single bird's feather, so the two are symbiotic, but this plant has a very strong phagocytosis function, once it grows up, it will absorb the whole animal, as if hatching these plants, because 90% of the animal's body is ...... containing metal elements"

"Therefore, in order to adapt to this kind of plant larvae that can not be abandoned, but like a time bomb, their body fluids have evolved into strong acids, and this method is used to inhibit the growth rate of plant larvae.

At the same time as the biologist explained, several members of the laboratory took a beaker of pure water and poured it into the pile of plant larvae, about the size of a little finger, at most more than ten seconds, and immediately turned into a fist-sized pile, the green oil reflected a strange light, and began to devour the container containing it.

Several personnel next to him immediately poured the strong acid on it, and the devouring behavior of these plants finally stopped.

Only then did the biological scientist turn to Yao Yuan and say, "That's right, and we found that the mature plant seems to have some kind of special induction system, which can temporarily revitalize the juvenile size of plants within a certain range, which is a similar ...... Signals like this, or telepathy, are not yet known to communicate or exist, but they explain why the animals of the planet avoid plants. ”

Yao Yuan looked at the whole experiment seriously, and he suddenly asked, "Where did the absorbed energy and metals go?" Could it be that all of them are grown as plants? ”

The biologist's expression suddenly became a little weird, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "No, it's not like that...... Major, please see the slice enlargement ......"

A large screen floated in the laboratory, the big screen is a slice enlargement of the plant, this plant seems to be really intelligent, every plant will naturally gather together, and then no matter how many quantities will be gathered into a pile of individuals, in the center of this pile of plants, will form a cyst-like organization, in the slice enlarged picture, those metals are actually sorted into categories and arranged neatly, each metal is a pure metal element, such as alloy is decomposed, it will become pure iron, copper, zinc and the like, In the center of the sac is a transparent crystalline that is as fine as a sesame seed.

"We found about 90 percent of the metals it absorbs, and the remaining 10 percent is either emitted into the atmosphere or absorbed by the plants themselves, but we can't calculate the exact number of them, only the energy," the biologist said...... All the energy disappeared, and only a tiny crystalline particle appeared inside the capsule, so some scientists suspect it...... This plant condenses energy into matter. ”

"The condensation of energy in matter?" Yao Yuan showed a strange expression.

The biologist also showed a strange expression, and at this moment, a physicist next to him suddenly interjected: "Major, let me explain it here." ”

The biologist nodded and gave up his position, but this physicist Yao Yuan was acquainted, it was the famous German physicist Celeve, he walked to Yao Yuan's side and said: "The so-called condensation of energy matter, this is just a statement in some science fiction novels or movies, which originally referred to the discovery of some alien minerals or crystals, there is an extremely large amount of energy, and then in science fiction novels and movies, and even in some games, such as when I was young, I played an old game called StarCraft, Something similar has appeared, that is, the matter is made of pure energy, an imaginary existence......"

"From the perspective of physics, the matter composed of energy alone can indeed exist, after all, the matter and energy itself can be converted, and science and technology continue to advance, no one knows what level of science and technology will reach in the future, so from the scientific scope, the word "absolute" does not exist, but this is by no means what human beings can achieve with current science and technology, and every milligram of the substance produced, the energy required is an astronomical amount. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the crystal on the laboratory screen and said: "I don't know anything else, but I am sure that the crystal is not made of pure energy, it should be a crystal made of a variety of elements as materials, and then there is energy in the crystal, of course, this level of things is not the current human technology can reach the category, even ...... We may not even be able to parse this crystal, because we don't know how much energy it contains, and we don't know its special name, and if the energy it contains is very huge, if we make a mistake, the whole Hope may explode in an instant......

"Still." Silevi suddenly remembered something, and he said: "One of my experimental students has a peculiar conjecture, I wonder if the major wants to hear it?" ”

Yao Yuan was thinking about all this at the moment, he was thinking about how to use this plant to rescue those trapped people, and at the same time find out the weakness of the plant, after hearing this, he nodded directly.

After a while, an expressionless girl walked in, but Yao Yuan recognized this girl, she was clearly one of the three girls that Zhang Heng knew at the beginning, and one of the very few civilians who lived on the fifth floor, Bo Li.

Bo Li nodded at Yao Yuan, and was not polite, and said directly: "I think that this plant has such a variety of special surnames, and it is unlikely that it has evolved naturally...... It is man-made. ”

Yao Yuan was stunned and asked strangely, "Man-made?" You mean genetic modification? But we humans don't have this level of technology at all. ”

Polly glanced at Yao Yuan, as if to say that he was an idiot, and then said, "Then let me put it another way, it's an alien artifact." ”

Yao Yuan then asked, "What about the purpose?" What is the purpose of aliens creating this kind of thing that destroys an entire planet? Could it be a lab leak that led to a biochemical disaster? ”

Polly continued to look at the big screen in the laboratory and said, "Purpose? It may be a biochemical disaster caused by a lab leak, but don't you think the purpose of this plant is too strong? Purely search for all kinds of metal minerals and collect energy to become energy crystals...... I think this is a kind of collector made by aliens, just like the excavation punch made by our humans, but our scientific and technological level is too low and too low, so we need manpower to dig after it is laid, but alien creatures have evolved to this extent, they directly create this plant, and then put it on the entire planet, and wait for a period of time, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, time is no longer a limit for this grade of alien creatures, Then they can easily get all the minerals of an entire planet without wasting any money, including energy, and move on to the next planet. ”

"Don't you think this method of collection is much more advanced and has a much higher usage rate than us?"

When Yao Yuan heard this, he only felt that the back bone was shining through from the tail vertebrae......

If all this speculation is true, then to what extent has the technological level of this alien creature gone? That's almost like the Creator! In front of it, humans are estimated to be not much stronger than ants, such alien creatures that take the entire planet as the target of collection...... It's terrifying!

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the laboratory, Yao Yuan hurriedly looked at the biologist who organized the experiment, the biologist asked several times in a row to the contact, and then he said to Yao Yuan: "Major, the genetic map of the plant has been analyzed, but ...... Major, do you want to take a look? ”

"Of course!" Yao Yuan immediately said, "Let's all see!" ”

Then, on the big screen in the lab, the genetic map of the plant appeared on it......

It's a strange shape that resembles words, no, more like a ...... than a text graphic to be more accurate

"Trademarks?" Wang Guangzheng said strangely beside him.

Yao Yuan nodded heavily, repeating the words: "Yes, this is a trademark ......."

"It's a trademark for aliens to beware of counterfeiting, right?"
