Chapter 8: Cortana's Ambition
A large bunch of "golden grapes" were processed by Cortana and became pieces of jelly-like things, and the whole process was like watching a magic show in Zhao Xu's eyes.
In other words, it is even more amazing than magic - magic usually has to be blocked with a piece of cloth or something, but the "food processing" in front of him completely happened in front of Zhao Xu's eyes, he only saw a burst of light and shadow, and the nanorobots that were invisible to the naked eye drilled into the flesh, just a moment of effort, and the golden "grapes" turned into crystal clear "jelly".
"Master, I've already processed this bunch of fruit for you, I recommend that you don't eat too much at once, and besides, I haven't eliminated the parts that might bring positive improvement to your DNA and RNA. Xiao Na said that her entire body was made of nanobots, and a tray "grew" out of the hood, and then hovered in front of Zhao Xu like anti-gravity, which was too sci-fi.
"What does positive perfection mean?" Zhao Xu didn't eat directly, but asked.
"It means giving you the opportunity to evolve into a higher carbon-based life. Cortana replied, "You should know that your weak body can't even digest these fruits, not to mention this, even on your original planet, Earth, not counting the brain, you and all humans are not considered superior in mammals." ”
"Coo!" Zhao Xu's stomach screamed continuously, and the sound was very loud, as if the fragrance of this "golden grape" greatly stimulated his digestive system, making him digest the fried noodles he had eaten in his stomach more than an hour ago.
He felt very hungry and hungry, like he hadn't eaten for three days.
Pinching up a piece of jelly, Zhao Xu stuffed it directly into his mouth, and the sudden strong hunger made his thinking level limited, and the most primitive desire of human beings, appetite, was exploding.
The feeling was terrible, and he wanted to quickly get rid of this terrible feeling of shaking all over his body and his body being almost uncontrollable.
A piece of "jelly" went down to his stomach, and a warm current quickly extended from his stomach to his limbs, so comfortable that he hit two spirits hard.
“...... Wow...... This momentum...... It's like drinking spirits!" Zhao Xu took a long time to relax and said with a sigh.
He used to stay up late and work overtime, and tried to eat pure chocolate in the case of extreme hunger, to say that the effect of hunger is nothing compared to this "jelly".
Then, he felt that his fingers suddenly began to itch, and he raised his hand to see - obediently, before "crossing" just now, because he was frightened by the "alien meteorite falling from the sky", when resisting its gravity, his fingers were injured in order to grasp the ground, not only grinding out blood, but several fingernails were turned outward, but now, his fingers are healing.
Heals at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Do you want to be so exaggerated? This is still the effect after being treated by Xiao Na? If my stomach can eat the original 'Golden Grape', then wouldn't I be directly washing the meridians and cutting the marrow now?" Zhao Xu sighed, the value of this thing is really immeasurable, especially the medicinal value in it.
A large bunch of "Golden Grapes", a total of 6 pieces of "jelly", he only eats one piece now, the benefit is so great, if he eats them all, will he directly become a macho man?
"How many can I eat at a time?" Zhao Xu asked Cortana.
His hunger pangs had eased a lot, his sanity had prevailed again, and he remembered what Cortana had just said to tell him not to eat too much at a time.
Everyone has desires, and there is no shame in desires, but it is shameful to indulge in the infinite expansion of one's desires without restraint.
"Master, I don't have systematic experimental data on the effects of this high-energy food on humans, so I can't give accurate suggestions, but it's your first time trying it, so I recommend eating less. Cortana replied.
Also, Cortana has never seen this thing, and she is not familiar with the biochemical reactions in the human body, so it is already the limit to be able to deal with the otherworldly fruit like now.
"Okay. Zhao Xu touched his belly, he doesn't feel hungry anymore, for the sake of safety, it's better to be modest.
Now, there are 71 hours left in the countdown in the upper right corner of the view, and Zhao Xu wonders if this countdown is either the countdown to his return to Earth, or what will happen here after 71 hours.
"Cortana, you can process the remaining 6 bunches of 'Golden Grapes' first. Zhao Xu picked up all the 'golden grapes' on the ground and piled them on the front cover of Cortana's car.
"Okay, master. Cortana agreed, "The oxygen content of the air here is 30%, there are no impurities in the air, and the quality is very good." The host can take a walk around me within 500 meters and you can rest assured that I have the ability to protect you at this distance!"
"What about you?" Zhao Xu asked, this Xiao Na always followed the same path before, wherever he went, where she followed, why did she suddenly not want to move now?
"I'm doing a geological survey here, please wait. Cortana replied, "It doesn't take too many nanobots to help you deal with these amazing fruits, but geological exploration is about my chances of survival and that of my master here, so I started this mission when I first came in." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xu was a little puzzled, did the chance of survival have anything to do with geological exploration?
"Master, my current form is too weak, and the number of nano spikes is too small, we need a base. Cortana replied, "This is a completely strange world, and the most important thing we need to do before we have a safe way to return to Earth is to put down roots here and use the local resources here to strengthen ourselves, so we must have at least one or two combat units, that is, at least one or two war fortresses." ”
"......" Zhao Xu was almost stunned when he heard this, what kind of thing? Build a war fortress? What are you doing here? Xing ...... Interstellar colonization?
Do you want to be so arrogant and domineering?
"Master, the reason for my reboot just now has been found, there must be some powerful existence in this place, which can emit a strange force field to interfere with my operation, which has seriously threatened my chances of survival, I can't waste a little more time. Cortana said.
Zhao Xu nodded, he remembered that in Xiao Na's "Three Principles", her own survival was ranked above the order issued by him Zhao Xu, and the current situation was that Xiao Na felt that she was threatened by her existence, so she wanted to build one or even a hundred fortresses, and Zhao Xu was no longer able to intervene.
Although he doesn't have the qualifications and ability to dictate to other people's own rules, Zhao Xu still wants to say - Xiao Na is really ...... It's different.
His current situation is somewhat similar to that described in those fantasy novels, but why is he not as good as those brain-dead protagonists? Which of the "subordinates" and "servants" that the protagonist encounters is not loyal? Which one is as willful as Cortana?
Of course, then again, the existence that made Xiao Na "stop and restart" just now should be Bai Ze, Zhao Xu is very sure of this, how many divine beasts like Bai Ze are here, Zhao Xu doesn't know.
It shouldn't be possible for each of those divine beasts to be as gentle as Bai Ze, seeing Zhao Xu, an outsider, people are likely to kill him if they don't agree with him, so if you really want to live here for a long time, then Xiao Na's approach should be right, this is called active defense, which is very in line with Zhao Xu's taste.
Zhao Xu saw that a lot of "roots" "grew" from Xiao Na's wheels and dug deep into the soil.
These "tree roots" composed of nano-level robot spearheads, shimmering with white metallic brilliance, are constantly interspersed and expanded underground, and I don't know how far they have extended.
..................
Zhao Xu couldn't understand what Cortana was doing, and he couldn't help, so he simply planned to take a look around not far away, as long as he didn't get into the bushes or go too far, Cortana's laser turret should be enough to protect his safety - he had seen the power of other people's laser weapons.
Not far behind Xiao Na's taillights, there is a stream three or four meters wide, the sparkling water of the stream is very beautiful, Zhao Xu walked over, picked up the pebbles on the ground, and made a beautiful water float.
"Poof!"
He didn't bother to knock down this water, and a dozen suddenly made the calm stream lively.
A large fish more than half a meter long jumped out of the water, these fish look like carp, the scales are light blue, but the fins on both sides are a pair of small silver wings!
Under Zhao Xu's stunned gaze, these "flying fish" flew away directly like birds.
Not gliding, it's really inciting wings to fly, and the flight altitude is definitely more than 100 meters.
"Go to TMD aerodynamics, how do you fly with such small wings and such a big body?" Zhao Xu muttered, not noticing that a strange-looking stone in front of his feet suddenly moved.
The surface of the stone had sharp edges and corners, rotating slightly, and then a child's arm-thin head stretched out from under the stone like lightning and bit Zhao Xu's ankle.
It turned out that it was not a stone, but a strangely shaped turtle with a sharp front beak as sharp as an eagle's beak.
Obviously, Zhao Xu didn't see the camouflage of its natural color back shell, and walked to the stream to disturb it hunting "flying fish", so it decided to teach Zhao Xu a lesson.
"Wow!"
A blue light flashed, and the turtle's head turned into charcoal, hit Zhao Xu's ankle, and turned into black ash.
Xiao Na did what she said, Zhao Xu was less than 50 meters away from her, and the instant height of the laser gun could make this unlucky turtle burp.
