Four corpses and a piece of iron, that's the only thing left inside the lead-shelled stone. "Dig everything out there, and find out what's going on in the whole mine. ”

Zhao Mai also agreed with the old man's idea, and the most suitable person to do this job is, of course, Z worm. Zhao Mai's latest Chimera spaceship flagship is called the "Black Emperor", black naturally refers to its color, which also means dark earth, and Huang is the abbreviation of the Dragon Emperor. It has flown over the mine, remaining invisible and slowly decreasing altitude.

The stealth pipe descends from the stealth ship and thrusts into the entrance to the pit. Then the Z-worm lands through the pipe and can enter the work site silently. The ability to be invisible and silent to ordinary people had no effect on the old man, and he watched with interest for a moment, expressing his amazement and appreciation at the actions of the workers, and genuinely exclaiming when he saw the fully alien guards.

The black streamlined body and smooth body surface can imitate the surrounding environment at any time and play the role of camouflage. The special sound-absorbing structure allows them to always be quiet, and they can also break through the sound barrier anytime and anywhere, and give full play to their explosive power.

The dragon's skin and Terrasque's minions make them unfazed in hand-to-hand combat, and combined with flashing, flying, retreating, and vaporizing, the Xenomorphs now have even more formidable assassin methods. And there is also corrosive liquid spraying at close range, and high heat rays at long distance, which allow the current Z insect alien to adapt to more complex combat situations.

One was nothing, but after a while, six of them got off the spaceship and went to stand guard in camouflage mode. There were so many ferocious creatures that the old man frowned. Judging from his current observations, Zhao Mai did not control the most, only more. The general rule of the multiverse is that the more powerful the creatures, the slower they will reproduce, and the fewer they will be, but this restriction seems to have lost its effect here for Zhao Mai. It seems that as long as Zhao Mai thinks about it, it is easy to mass-produce this alien.

Fortunately, Zhao Mai has always been very restrained, and at the ideological level, he has taken the harmonious coexistence of multiple species as the highest guideline, and has not launched a species war. But what about the future? The old man pondered with his hands behind his back. For a long time, the competition between the detached was mainly in the realm of ideas, mostly in the field of ideas, and sometimes in the struggle of power. But there may be a new form later: the existential battle. If the transcendents only have thoughts, but there is no civilized society to practice them, the entire universe will be full of Zhao Mai's worms...... Then the detached person will stagnate, so what is the point of existence?

The old man was a little worried, but he didn't equate his worries with a threat, let alone treat them as "reality." He looked at Zhao Mai, who was sitting quietly beside the leaded stone shell, holding the piece of iron in his hand, turning over and over without knowing what he was looking at.

Everything is strange, but the most strange thing is this piece of iron. Zhao Mai was sure that he could see that it had once wriggled like a living organism, and it was also suspended in the very center of the stone's interior. The waves of the world burst out with the Force of Nature, the realm of God, and the will of life, which can even cause the dead to grow muscles and organs again, without killing any living beings at all, let alone turning them into iron.

Material alchemy is able to change one substance into another, but it is too difficult to turn all complex life forms into the same substance from a physical point of view, and so many various compounds all turn into iron from the microscopic level! Besides, if you want to cover up some clues, wouldn't it be faster and safer to burn them directly into ashes, why bother turning them into iron?

Wait, Zhao Mai found himself ignoring a problem. No matter how it turns iron, this process takes place in the world wave range, and only by obeying one's own rules can the ability have an effect - the ability to disobey the rules will be invalid. In other words, the iron is not "transformed", but the ability to fail and thus return to some initial state. In other words, the piece of iron should have been the creeping creature's original state stripped of its abilities, not the corpse it evolved into.

But even Colossus is not made of a piece of iron!

"Old man, is there a creature born out of iron?"

The old man, who had been pacing slowly, suddenly stopped. He walked up to Zhao Mai in three steps and two steps, and took the piece of iron with both hands to examine it carefully. Zhao Mai should have thought of something when he saw his appearance, so he waited patiently.

The piece of iron changed in the old man's hand, stretching, shortening, twisting until it broke. Iron or iron, doubts or doubts. After a while, the old man said, "If you exclude the artificially created mechanical life, you have never seen a creature made of iron." But I've heard a rumor in the Ring League, and that was a long, long time ago, and my green cow was still alive at that time. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"That rumor has very little credibility, and it tells the story of a mage who is not very good at learning. The mage had gone through great trouble to catch the enemy, and cursed him to suffer forever. However, the mage knows that his life is limited, and after his demise, his curse will gradually lose its power, so it will not be able to achieve the effect of eternal life. So he turned his enemies into iron, the final substance of the universe after it had lost its heat and vitality, forever iron, with no possibility of change. The enemy lives like iron, and pain and hurt will always be with him. ”

"Why iron?"

"Uh......" the old man scratched his head and said, "In my view, Tao is a process of change and circulation, and there is no ultimate matter. But in physics, lighter atoms fuse and become heavier atoms, which is the principle of stars and the most obvious source of energy in the universe. And this process will be terminated when iron is reached, because if iron is fused, it needs to absorb energy instead of releasing it, so this reaction is impossible. In addition, the elements of the plateau number decayed, so everyone eventually turned into iron. ”

But that statement is flawed. Dad Zhao listened to this, helped his reading glasses, and said.

"Of course, of course, there is a problem. Even if black holes are not taken into account, iron is not the final product from a physical point of view - but the mage did not know it at the time. He chose a sophisticated approach to the enemy, which resulted in extremely complicated results. The last word of the rumor was: So he made Naykos. ”

"The monster that devoured the universe of death, the end of all things?"

"Oh, Zhao Mai, I don't think everything will really end, it's just one state to another. Of course, there is a difference between good and bad states, and I would never accept the state of Naykos. But...... It's just a rumor, more like a story reverse-engineered in the name of Naekos's 'Terminator of Everything'. The old man shook his head: "Since you asked, then I will tell you, even if it is nonsense, there is no need to hide it." Now I'm more concerned about why this thing was placed on the earth, when it was placed here, and who did it. And, is there more!"

"How do you find this? I can't cover the whole earth with a world wave. ”

"I can sweep the whole earth with a taiji diagram. The old man said, "But this needs to be decided by a meeting of the detached." Zhao Mai, are you ready for your first vote?"
