Chapter XXXVII Outbreak V
Biological cultivation on this scale, in addition to a large amount of material, must also have energy. Although his perception was suppressed by Yan Zhan, Su still mobilized his strength with all his strength, collected his perception into a bundle, and stabbed deep underground. This time, he attacked with all his strength, and finally broke through the resistance of Rochester's mysterious power and successfully penetrated thousands of kilometers underground. To Su's surprise, the thickest part of these biological substrates actually reached more than 800 meters, and in the pipes that formed blood vessels deep underground, there was a hot liquid flowing at extremely high temperatures. The nearly 1,000-degree stream transfers the heat to a large amount of energy converters in the biological matrix, which is then converted into the required energy shape. Most of it is stored as a high-energy storage substance, and a small part is sent to the ground in the form of bioelectricity.
It seems that Rochester has dug through the earth's crust, using the endless energy of the planet's inner core as an energy supply for this huge biological base. After a brief peek, Su found that this underground space was dozens of times larger than originally expected, and there was no end to it. The entire mountain was hollowed out and then hollowed out by a massive biological matrix. Dozens of underground tunnels stretch into the distance, and there is no end in sight. The underground tunnels range in diameter from a few meters to a dozen meters in diameter. There are hundreds of pipes lined up inside, and there are enough passages for heavy trucks. The pipes are filled with nutrients and high-temperature fluids, which are the basis of energy. With these pipes, the range of control of biological substrates will be expanded hundreds or thousands of times, and it is impossible to predict where the limit is. Perhaps only material is the limit, and energy is sufficient.
All the biological substrates are united, and it is possible to see some kind of strange creature. From another point of view, it is more like a parasite lying on a planet sucking blood, and it belongs to the kind that can grow indefinitely. It is now too small for the planet, so small that it is completely negligible. But one day it will grow big enough to suck the entire star core dry.
Thinking of this scene, Su was just awe-inspiring, and he relaxed again. No life can expand infinitely, there will always be some kind of limit that will collapse itself when it reaches the limit. Only a handful of predatory super-life forms can evolve to the point of extreme size and horror, and those behemoths drifting in the depths of the universe can even feed on planets. But even that kind of super life also has its limits, but the intelligence of creatures that have evolved to such a height must be many times higher than that of humans combined. Aside from their instinct to swim and forage, they are careful not to touch the limits of their growth. For them, the greatest significance of a long life is to break the limit and evolve into a higher life.
The biological substrate in the mountains only has the basic characteristics of primitive life, and it is likely that it has not even formed its own intelligence, and no matter how large it grows, it is not a threat. And it is likely that the growth is now close to the limit, and it is not possible to continue to increase in size. Rochester is supposed to be the center of its brain, and if this thing had no limit, or if the limit was planetary, then at its growth rate, it could hollow out the entire planet in a few decades to form a real death star, instead of not having a single mountain peak completely filled up as it is now.
Su slowly fell to the ground, and he was not attacked again during the whole process. It's just that when he stepped on the biological substrate, the landing point squirmed, turning into dozens of tentacles and winding towards Su. The tentacles are covered with mucus and are full of corrosive power, and if ordinary biological beasts are entangled, they will be corroded and decomposed into a puddle of nutrient solution that can be absorbed within ten minutes. However, this kind of attack is only useful for ordinary creatures, and anyone with more than fifth-order abilities will not be without the power to resist, and it cannot be compared to the high-temperature fire cloud at the beginning. This is just an instinctive reaction of the biological matrix, not an attack against Sue.
Su stood still, and when the tentacles approached less than half a meter away from his body, they all spasmed like electric shock, and then trembled desperately, and a few tentacles even let out a terrible scream. At first, there was nothing unusual in the tentacles, but in the blink of an eye, the thick keratin skin began to bulge large and small bubbles, and then swelled and burst, squirting out large streams of red liquid. The liquid fell to the surface of the biological matrix, and immediately stretched out several thin and sharp claws, stabbing into the biological matrix fiercely, and the entire body had to drill into the matrix. Inside these liquids are activated invaders, with countless times more vitality and attack than biological substrates. At this time, a high-temperature fire cloud was generated in the air and swept past the biological matrix, and the invaders who had converged into proto-life forms at the ultra-high temperature could not resist it, and were instantly reduced to ashes. Although as Su's strength increased, the invaders also strengthened accordingly, they were still in their primitive form, and they had no good way to deal with pure energy attacks such as high-temperature fire clouds for the time being. However, if some invaders are able to experience heat without dying, they will evolve the ability to resist heat accordingly.
However, the high temperature beyond the temperature of the stars, even Sue is not willing to stay in it for long. He tapped his toes lightly, and his body was already flying into the air. At the foot of Su's feet, a large area of biological substrate burns instantaneously due to high temperature, charring, and finally turns into a gray-white inorganic matter. This cloud of hot fire not only covers a vast area, but also contains an astonishingly high amount of energy. The biological substrate up to four or five meters thick was directly charred, and the invaders who had already drilled into the substrate could not escape.
Suning floated steadily in the air, and Bi-'s gaze slowly looked around the mountain, slowly but surely expanding, combing through the veins of the entire biological matrix. With his current ability to perceive and analyze, no matter where the brain of the biological matrix is hidden, it will definitely be found.
At this moment, an old and calm voice sounded in the mountains: "Sue, my child, why are you so impulsive as soon as you come back?" I can't think of a reason to be enemies between us. ”
Sue said lightly, "Dr. Rochester, can I call you that?" Or should I call you an apostle? ”
Rochester was silent for a moment before he said, "How do you know?" ”
"I've fought a few battles with two other Apostles, intercepted some of their information, and then analyzed that you might be another Apostle."
Rochester laughed, not at all nervous: "It's Seredra and Fizdek, right?" They have their own areas of expertise, but their wisdom is not very good. When they don't have brains, they tend to mess things up. However, from another point of view, it can also be said that they have always looked down on the consciousness of this world, and naturally it is even more impossible to care about what the creatures of this world are thinking and doing. But just because you're in conflict with them doesn't mean we're enemies. ”
"You are an apostle, and an apostle is naturally an enemy of humanity. I've analyzed the snippets of information about Seredra and Fizdek's intentions, and they want to clean up the planet. I guess the meaning of cleanup doesn't need to be explained. ”
Sue and Rochester's conversation was bland and lacked any sense of sabre-rattling.
Not every apostle had the same mission. Since Seredra and Fizdek are trying to clean up the planet, why don't you just stop them? Rochester asked gently.
Su shook his head and said, "The two of them are together, and I can't beat them for the time being." ”
Rochester laughed and said, "You think you can deal with me?" ”
"Sixty percent chances are already very high." Su said calmly, and even smiled for the first time in a long time, "The five apostles can be regarded as one, although I don't understand what it is for, you are not with the two of them, but I think I can get enough information from you for me to analyze the weaknesses of the two of them." And after destroying them, there will be enough information for me to analyze where the two remaining apostles are, if they are also hiding on this planet. Then, I'll clean them up too. ”
Rochester sighed and said, "Sue, my boy ......"
Sue interrupted him with her mouth and said, "Dr. Rochester, you don't call me the right one......"
"No, that's appropriate." Dr. Rochester insisted, "Or another name is more appropriate for you, No. 1 Solid Yàn Body." ”
"Number One!" Su was taken aback, Dr. Rochester's words were like a switch, instantly opening all his memories. Now the memories of the dreams that tormented him in his childhood are all back to his mind, and they are extremely clear. Now the troubled scenarios have been answered. It was a view from the cultivation tank, and it was not seen with eyes, but with perceptual ability, because Su didn't have eyes at that time.
Su once entered the base where he cultivated himself, and also saw the cultivation tank that cultivated the three real yàn bodies. The pictures in the memory belong to the No. 3 real yàn body, but the memory is not all real.
"I'm number one?" Su asked with a wry smile.
"Yes. Although you have evolved into a completely different life than you planned, your essential characteristics will not change. There are two original intentions of creating a zào, one is to try to cultivate a perfect life form, and the second is to create a zào to create people who can destroy the apostles. ”
This is another piece of news that shocked Su Zhen. But the number one is still the number three, and Su actually already has the answer. At that time, Su, who was the No. 1 test subject, was only an aggregate of dozens of cells, but he had already given birth to his own consciousness. He was always paying attention to the number two and number three beside him, because they were only Su's backup test subjects, so they had experienced far less experiments and transformations than test subjects No. 1, and they had suffered far less than Su. Therefore, since Su was conscious, he has always been very envious of the two real yàn bodies, especially No. 3. So in the dream of memory, Su turned himself into No. Three, and the memories of the dream appeared from the perspective of No. Three.
What is a perfect life form, I am afraid there will never be an answer. But at least the second purpose of the real yàn has been achieved, that is, Su and the two apostles have indeed reached the point of immortality. Although the establishment of hatred has little to do with the subject's instincts. A
