Chapter 437: The Plague

Xiao Yu's pace of exploration did not stop. After determining that these statues were the corpses of silicon-based creatures, these robots, under Xiao Yu's manipulation, began to move forward again.

"These silicon-based creatures seem to be dying painfully." Xiao Yu thought silently, and once again his gaze fell on the corpses of these silicon-based creatures in the main hall.

These silicon-based creatures resemble enlarged versions of cats, except that instead of hair, they have spines as sharp as icicles. Xiao Yu didn't know what these thorns did, nor did he know the living habits of these silicon-based creatures, Xiao Yu only knew that when they were still alive, they were very powerful.

"And now, they're all dead. What does their death have to do with that weird neutron star? These questions made Xiao Yu very confused.

This large hall is large, and around it, there are many wide corridors. Of course, the endless years have made these corridors dilapidated as well. They are pitch black and deep, like the mouths of dark monsters, waiting to choose someone to devour. There is no air on this planet, so there is no air flow, but these corridors are still thick with dust. Xiao Yu knew that this dust was accumulated over hundreds of millions of years.

Xiao Yu also knew that in this long time, he was the first person to set foot here.

From here, Xiao Yu once again sensed that something was wrong.

Xiao Yu found a lot of spaceships and the corpses of many intelligent creatures in the orbit of the planet. There is no doubt that these intelligent creatures have come here for exploration activities, but they and weishenme have not set foot here?

It's only a little bit of a distance from the planet's orbit, and if they can come to the planet's orbit, there's no reason why they can't get to this hall. Come to this corridor. In Xiao Yu's heart, a speculation emerged.

The speculation is simple, that is, the intelligent beings in the ruined ship have not had the time to come here at all. In other words, it's possible that they've just entered this weird binary star system and they're dead. Their ship lost control, and was captured by the planet's gravity, and was held in place, spinning in circles. A long time has passed for hundreds of millions of years.

This is a terrible conjecture, because from this conjecture another conjecture can be derived. You know, these two planets are not the only ones in this binary star system. The other two exist, either that neutron star. Or this white dwarf. The gravitational pull of either of them is ten million times greater than that of this planet.

What does this mean? This means that out of a thousand ships that break into this binary system and lose control, it would be nice to have one captured by this planet. In other words, the many spaceships that Xiao Yu discovered. Just a small part of this strange binary star system, and thousands of thousands of times that number of spaceships, were pulled by the gravitational pull of the white dwarf or neutron star, and were finally assimilated into white dwarf or neutron star matter.

This is a number that makes Xiao Yu feel a little frightened. This means: In the past, at least hundreds of millions of ships have arrived here. And the end? All dead. They were all destroyed.

Among these hundreds of millions of spaceships, there are fourth-level civilization creations, fifth-level civilization creations, and sixth-level civilization creations. But they were all dead, not a single one was left, and none of them were spared.

"So, I'm not dead yet?"

It was this question that made Xiao Yu wonder. The spaceships that came here are undoubtedly here to explore here, and in order to explain Weishenme they came to the orbit of the planet but did not come to this hall, the only reasonable explanation is that they died early in the morning, so many spaceships are dead, but Weishenme himself is not dead?

"Perhaps, that's why the Guardian civilization drove me here." Xiao Yu thought silently, "Perhaps, the Guardian Civilization intends to rely on my hand to get something from here." ”

Xiao Yu said this speculation, but was immediately refuted by Luca II: "One thing I don't understand, let's assume that this is the Shiyan site of a powerful silicon-based civilization, which is hostile to any carbon-based life, and any carbon-based life will die immediately if it enters a certain range, so is the remotely controlled mechanical equipment also within the range of their killing?" Weishenme can't let life stay outside the galaxy and then use mechanical equipment to come in and explore? ”

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately replied, "My guess is that this binary star system has some kind of signal shielding device. Signals outside of the shield cannot be received by the devices inside the shield. You know, at this stage, we have already observed the phenomenon of interfering with tachyon communication in the laboratory, and there is no reason why this silicon-based civilization has not mastered it. Therefore, it is not possible to explore remotely controlled machinery. ”

"Well, that's all there is to explain for now, but we still can't confirm it." Luca II said.

"Yes, there is no way to confirm it. It's just that...... Aren't we also carbon-based organisms? weishenme we're not dead yet? weishenme are we still alive? Xiao Yu asked a little confused.

"No, master, you are wrong." Luca IV shook his head and replied, "We are carbon-based creatures, and you are not. You're not a carbon-based organism, strictly speaking, you're a silicon-based biologist right now. Because the main structure of the computer chip you live on is still silicon. ”

"Because of my existence, so you are not in danger? In this way...... Can anti-personnel weapons here also be automatically detected? If it is detected as a silicon-based organism, it will not attack, and if it is detected as a carbon-based creature, it will be killed indiscriminately? Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "But you are all carbon-based creatures. ”

"Who knows." Luca IV said helplessly, "No one knows the answer until the final answer is revealed." ”

Xiao Yu fell silent again. The robot that landed on the planet, under Xiao Yu's control, has been advancing.

What was presented in front of Xiao Yu was a magical scene. Along the way, Xiao Yu saw a huge device similar to a computer, saw some places that seemed to be factory buildings, and saw some buildings that seemed to be biological rest areas......

Xiao Yu detected the traces left by the high temperature. Such traces indicate that the buildings here have been subjected to temperatures of at least 400 degrees Celsius for a long period of time.

"Perhaps, our speculation about some aspects of the state of silicon-based organisms is correct." Xiao Yu thought, "The temperature suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms is between 300 and 400 degrees. Well, there are also traces of sulfur erosion here, and it seems that they do use sulfur-containing air as a life gas. ”

Xiao Yu thought of Venus. If these silicon-based creatures are still alive, perhaps the environment of Venus is heaven for them.

The exploration is still continuing, and the size of this base is beyond Xiao Yu's expectations. So far, a day has passed, and tens of thousands of robots have entered this base.

"Master, there's a bad news." At this time, Luca 4 stood up and said this to Xiao Yu, "I have ordered all the hospitals in the more than seventy spaceships of the Homeland to monitor all the people who come to see them, and now, we have found a case of people who are suspected to have been affected by the environment here. ”

"Huh? I'll take a look. Xiao Yu, who heard the news, was nervous, and immediately mobilized the relevant information of all the hospitals, found the detailed information of the patient, and checked it.

The situation is far from optimistic. The data suggests that the patient was affected by an unknown factor, and that the amino acids in his genetic sequence, which are linked by the element carbon, are severely deformed, and the element appears to be losing this vitality. To put it simply, the organic matter in the patient's body is gradually being transformed into inorganic matter.

This symptom is exactly the same as the symptoms of the dead intelligent creatures in the ruined spaceship that Xiao Yu had observed before.

A thick cloud covered everyone's hearts. Xiao Yu didn't know where the threat came from, didn't know what the principle of the threat was based on, and didn't know how to defend against the threat, Xiao Yu only knew that he didn't escape after all, this threat finally found himself, and began to exert influence on the intelligent creatures under his command.

"Master, a second suspected case has been detected. A second case was reported at the 079 Hospital of the 103 City of the Homeland 59 spacecraft. Oh no, there is an outbreak trend in this kind of case, in the last thirty seconds, a total of seven cases have been detected, oh, now it has risen to twenty-eight......"

Xiao Yu's face gradually became gloomy.

"Now it is known that for some unknown reason, our Shenzhou civilization has temporarily delayed the occurrence of this disease, allowing us to support the onset until now, but we have not escaped after all. So...... Let's make the following arrangements. Luca Four, you go and lead the relevant scientific research Liliang, to study how to deal with this disease, or to study how to delay this disease. Well, if necessary, you can try to see if deep freezing can inhibit the occurrence of this condition. If I could, I would do my best to make refrigeration equipment that would put tens of billions of people into refrigeration. Now that I am 70% sure that this disease is not working for me, I will be left alone to deal with the crisis ahead. (To be continued......)
