Chapter 599: Man-Machine War (21)
Half a year ago. Xia Deng and Bai Ziying were captured by Sine Wave and rushed into the No. 1 flagship survival module "Horseshoe Crab Sea".
The so-called sea of horseshoe crabs, it is not a sea, but a huge spaceship module, this spaceship is naturally flagship No. 1, with a diameter of 150 kilometers, and this module is the sea of horseshoe crabs.
The Horseshoe Crab Sea is a cylindrical module with a diameter of 10 km and a height of 10 km. The so-called module, it is not only the components that make up the mothership, but also has the ship that can become independent after it splits apart, with its own shield, power and fire system.
It's just that this survival module horseshoe crab with a volume of 785 cubic kilometers has additional gravitational, air, ecological and other systems suitable for the survival of horseshoe crabs, in order to be able to captive more than one million horseshoe crabs. Machine-bred creatures, in the words of the evil dragon himself, are offerings, but in fact, the reason is similar.
The first is to enter a long passage, Xiaoying understands that this long passage is an airlock passage, and it needs to be pressurized and inflated here before she can completely enter the sea of horseshoe crabs, the society of horseshoe crabs.
Xia Deng, Xiaoying and Adam walked to the end of the passage, and at the end was the door leading to the inner sea of horseshoe crabs, and when they came to the inner door, they stopped. Adam said, "Sister, the dragon has told us to unarm. ”
Xia Deng shouted, "What? Let's disarm? How can this work? ”
Xiaoying said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must understand that after passing through this door, there is a society of horseshoe crabs. The horseshoe crab is the creator of the evil dragon, and the evil dragon will do whatever it takes to protect the horseshoe crab. So do you think the dragon will let us in with weapons? And we're at this point today, do you have room for bargaining? ”
While saying this, Xiaoying first unloaded the fluctuating sword, laser gun, dagger, DM shotgun and other lethal weapons on the equipment, and at the same time tilted his head and said, "Let's start." ”
"Do you really want to take it off?" Xia Deng looked reluctant.
"Don't ask me, there's no way I can make a decision."
"Okay then," Xia Deng reluctantly wrote down all the weapons, "That's all right, right?" ”
Adam said, "Take off your armor." ”
The so-called armor is the gold equipment worn by the two, commonly known as the golden armor, which has various functions such as radiation protection, air supply, temperature difference protection, shield, small hibernation, etc. As soon as the equipment is taken off, it means that there is no protection at all.
The passage was filled with air, and the air pressure had returned to a pleasant state. "Why do you want to take off your armor?" Xia Deng shouted, but Xiaoying had already begun to take it off.
Xiaoying said: "If you want to take it off, you can take it off, where is there so much nonsense." Adam, you tell it that the air has chlorine and methane, and I have to wear a filter mask. ”
Adam said, "Sister, you can wear a mask. ”
"Also, it has to take good care of our gear. Although we will no longer use them in the future, we have used them after all, and they are commemorative. ”
"Yes, sister, I'll talk to it."
"Also, you have to be with me, inseparable."
"That must sister, I will also tell it too."
The relevant matters have been dealt with almost completely, the equipment, including armor, including weapons, and electronic equipment have all been removed, and the two of them are only wearing a set of close-fitting single clothes, and their skin is also exposed, and Xiaoying has an extra set of air filter masks.
Xia Deng muttered. "What did you say?" Xiaoying asked.
Xia Deng snorted: "It feels like someone has stripped naked." ”
"It's not as serious as you say," Xiaoying said, "You can't wear armor and hold a weapon at all times in your life, right?" We're just unarmed. Alright, we're going to get ready to go inside. ”
Xiaoying and Xia Deng have always thought that the horseshoe crab is a super intelligent creature, and its intelligence is no less than that of humans, because the computer they make can be independent and become a super machine civilization, and this machine civilization can also carry out interstellar voyages.
But when the two entered the sea of horseshoe crabs, they were almost shocked.
Because they saw a lot of caves, and the horseshoe crabs lived in these caves, and the caves were all at the water's edge, half underwater, half out of the water. They move slowly, slowly crawling into the burrow, slowly crawling out and diving into the water.
"Uh......" The moment he entered the inner door of the airlock passage, Xia Deng was stunned, and Xiaoying, who was standing on the side, also looked at the world in front of him in amazement.
"This is the horseshoe crab?" Xia Deng asked in surprise, "The horseshoe crab of the star civilization also created the horseshoe crab of the machine civilization that can carry out interstellar voyages?" What the hell! ”
Simulated sky, artificial ocean, artificial beach, forest, rock, mountain peak, soil, etc. are all artificially created. At a glance, the scenery is quite beautiful, as if you have arrived in a paradise. It's just that the owner of this paradise is really hard to compliment.
Everywhere there are caves inhabited by horseshoe crabs.
In front of them was a winding mountain road, and they were standing on a small hill at the moment, and they were walking down the hillside. A buzzing sound of machines came from the sky, and Xiaoying looked up to see several miniature shuttles flying in the "sky".
The shuttles of the combat units of the fleet in space are all about five meters in diameter, the upper half is a flying saucer, and the lower half is a machine horseshoe crab. And the miniature shuttle here, which is less than three meters in diameter, is also a flying saucer in the upper half and a machine horseshoe crab in the lower half.
At this moment, Xiaoying's stomach is rumbling, she has not eaten for more than 20 hours, she is very hungry at this time, and Xia Deng has been in a state of hibernation, not long after she woke up, so he has no feeling of hunger.
And in the sea of horseshoe crabs, in the world of horseshoe crabs, the air can be filtered, the water can be filtered, but what about the food? The environment here is the same as that of Lighthouse Star, Xia Deng can eat the food here, but Xiaoying can't. And the evil dragon promised to solve her food problem, but it would take a while, so in the following days, Xiaoying could only spend the following days through hibernation, otherwise, she could only wait to starve to death.
Xiaoying was about to tell Xia Deng that she was hungry, but the next scene made her never want to mention the word "eat" again. Because she saw ......
Not far in front of their eyes, there was a horseshoe crab cave living area, and a micro-piercing, that is, a miniature shuttle flew over, hovering over the cave area, and immediately a large number of biological horseshoe crabs crawled out of each cave, gathered in the small square in front of the cave group.
These horseshoe crabs resemble the horseshoe crabs of Earth creatures, but there are significant differences, and the size of these horseshoe crabs is on the large side, basically between 1.8 and 2 meters in length.
The horseshoe crabs screamed at the sky with their heads held high under the shuttle, and then, a jaw-dropping scene appeared:
A hole opened at the bottom of the shuttle, and a large number of things were sprinkled whirring, and when they landed on the ground, they were still alive, but they were black beetles the size of fists. The horseshoe crabs pounced and began to prey on the beetles, making a crackling sound.
Xiaoying leaned on a railing beside her and retched "uh-uh".
