"What?" The veterinarian screamed, and when he looked closely, it was nine points similar to the skeleton man's spaceship, "What, how could it be?" ”

Zhou Kuang seemed to be very satisfied with the veterinarian's panic, like a child showing off his new toy to his friends: "Think it's incredible? ”

"You mean...... The Outer Skeleton's spaceships, all alive? The veterinarian suddenly had a feeling that the sky was falling, "Could it be that the Outer Skeleton Man's spaceships are all alive?" ”

Zhou Kuang is like looking up at a beautiful work of art, caressing the outer wall of a glass pillar affectionately: "Theoretically, so. ”

"How is that possible?" The veterinarian felt that all of his views on the world world collapsed in an instant, and he was about to wonder if the world world in his memory was still the familiar world he was originally in.

"Nothing is impossible, the universe is boundless, and human beings ...... Hehe, it's too small, like a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky, the outer bone man is just a corner of the vast universe, and there are still many unimaginable unsolved mysteries in the universe. Zhou Kuang's eyes were blurred, like a star-chasing girl colliding with an idol on the street.

The veterinarian stared blankly at the spaceship soaked in liquid and was silent for a moment: "Why did you put it here?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing special, it's just to remind all researchers that the Exoskeletons are a race we don't know anything about, and everything must be cautious and cautious." Zhou Kuang turned around abruptly and stared at the veterinarian's eyes with extreme seriousness, "We call it Xiaoqiang, do you know how Xiaoqiang came from?" ”

The veterinarian shook his head cooperatively.

Xiaoqiang generally refers to cockroaches, because among the creatures on the earth, cockroaches have the strongest vitality, cut off their heads, and can still live for a week, and the ultimate cause of death is starvation; It can survive even ten minutes in a vacuum.

Obviously, it was named so because it was able to act as a spaceship, far more tenacious than a cockroach - the spaceship had to fight not only a vacuum, but also an outrageous low temperature; Radiation in all directions; There are also heavy nuclear ion jets from supernovae...... (PS: Heavy nuclear ions, that is, ions that have lost their outer electrons and only leave the nucleus, such as copper, zinc, etc.) ）

Zhou Kuang said with a heavy expression: "It was made from the spaceship you captured, and when I first found them, it was just a bunch of eggs the size of a ping-pong ball. ”

"They?" The veterinarian's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, the Outer Skeleton's spaceship is not only alive, but also oviparous like a fish, capable of laying tens of thousands of eggs at a time." Zhou Kuang let out a sigh of relief, as if he couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, "We collected thousands of eggs that were still viable and tried to hatch, I thought that at least half of them would have to be wasted in order to test the suitable incubation conditions, but I didn't expect that as long as the temperature was higher than five degrees Celsius to seventy degrees Celsius, all the eggs could hatch normally, and we hatched thousands of them at one time, occupying four fully closed laboratories." ”

"So much?" The veterinarian kept responding like cross talk, but neither he nor Zhou Kuang felt that there was anything wrong.

In the face of the mysterious unknown, the vast majority of people are unlikely to be more calm than a veterinarian.

"And that's not all." Zhou Kuang recalled with a face, "At that time, everyone panicked, and they didn't know what to do with these nail-sized larvae, but they didn't expect that these newborn larvae couldn't find food, so they began to devour each other, relying on the nutritional growth obtained by devouring their companions." ”

The veterinarian didn't know what to say, but he felt like a mountain in his heart.

"In just three days, it has grown into such a big body, thousands of young animals, and the rest is less than three digits. It took us a lot of effort to separate the remaining larvae, and no one expected that the disengaged larvae would directly stop the physiological functions of the whole body and begin to dormant like hibernation because they could not get nutritional supplements. Zhou Kuang patted the glass pillar, "If you provide nutrients to dormant larvae, then they will immediately recover, no matter what kind of environment they are in, even if it is a vacuum." ”

"They are so small that they can survive in a vacuum?" The veterinarian immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

The delay of three days is probably not only the lack of experience in the laboratory to deal with it, but also the more direct reason should be to prevent the loss of the test subject!

The lab hatches thousands of fingernail-sized larvae at a time, and if you dispose of them immediately, even if you are careful, you may miss one or two inconspicuous larvae.

If they escape from the lab, they are likely to grow rapidly in a short period of time, eventually developing into a small spaceship.

What is the concept of an exoskeleton spaceship suddenly appearing in the base of Saturn?

Although I don't know what the combat effectiveness of the larvae is, any military base has a strong external defense and a relatively weak internal defense, so I am afraid that the entire base will be in chaos.

It's so dangerous.

"Of course not, it must grow to a certain size, the current experimental data is not perfect, how big it is is still uncertain, only that the road is about four and a half meters long, it is possible to resist the threat of the vacuum environment." Zhou Kuang sighed, "There is a four-and-a-half-meter-long one that has been surviving in a vacuum environment until now, but there are also three that are almost five meters long, all of which exploded within three days." ”

The veterinarian was taken aback: "You mean, the spaceship of the Exoskeleton Man must be born in a specific environment, such as Mars and Earth?" ”

Zhou Kuang nodded heavily: "That's right, unless they hatch their eggs in their bodies like some sharks, and then leave their mothers when the larvae devour each other and grow enough to resist the vacuum...... However, this possibility is almost equal to zero, because the young born after leaving the mother have no way to take in nutrients...... Well, at least for now, we don't know that there is such a way. ”

After staying with the rigorous experimenters for a long time, Zhou Kuang's words began to become extremely standard, and he tried his best to describe them rigorously and accurately.

"When we were in the bone mound, we found hundreds of exoskeleton ships in the shaft of the vacuum, will they all be dormant?" The veterinarian's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he suddenly felt extremely happy, "At that time, we were fighting fiercely, but the enemy's spaceship was stopped more than ten meters away, and there was no movement at all...... Does it have to be some kind of stimulus to wake them up? ”

Zhou Kuang thoughtfully: "We didn't expect this, it's not bad, it just came and provided us with new experimental ideas." He patted the veterinarian on the shoulder, satisfied, "But we've figured out how the Skeleton Man steers the ship. ”
