Knowing that the armor and shield were actually the original life parasitic on Elite's body, how to deal with them made Wang Xiaotian difficult.

Wang Xiaotian is interested in Elite's armor, mainly because this armor can be hidden as much as he wants, and it can also be invisible in the forest, not only can no one find it, but also radar can't find it. If he had such a set of equipment, his safety would be guaranteed.

However, it is now known that this set of equipment is actually alive and parasitic on Elite. Beat him, he didn't dare to ask for it.

Not long ago, he can remember what happened at Base 2 clearly. He didn't want to be trapped in the cage of consciousness again, his body was taken away, and his consciousness was obliterated.

Last time, if it wasn't for the critical time, that parasite rushed into his sea of knowledge, and was driven out by him by taking advantage of the location of the sea of knowledge, and he was completely wiped out.

This time, he said he wouldn't play with fire anymore.

Wang Xiaotian immediately made up his mind and instructed the main control system: "Immediately send the corpse, armor, shields, and weapons into the incinerator." ”

Soon after, the two robots carried Elite's body, shield, and crosssword away. Wang Xiaotian also seized this time to rest on the bed in the medical area.

He was sleeping in a daze when he was suddenly woken up by the main control system.

"Is it all burned?" asked Wang Xiaotian sleepily.

Master control system: "Not completely burned out." After heating to the highest temperature and calcining for an hour, all biological tissues are gone. Even metal weapons were completely vaporized. But there is one thing that we have never been able to burn. ”

"What's that?"

The main control system immediately released a holographic projection in front of Wang Xiaotian.

It was a green broad bean-like thing, with two tender green, very small leaves at the top, as if a fragile touch would destroy it.

Yet, it was the same thing, which looked like it would break at the touch of a thing, calcined for an hour at a high temperature capable of vaporizing the most heat-resistant metal, and remained emerald green without the slightest dryness and curling.

"What is this?" Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.

The main control system was silent for a moment and said, "This is the remnants of those things you let be incinerated just now, after being incinerated at high temperatures. ”

Wang Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "It looks very much like plastic products." Fake at a glance. ”

Main control system: "There is no plastic that can withstand high temperatures of five or six thousand degrees, not to mention the plastic itself, which cannot have the characteristics of life." ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned, "Life characteristics?"

Master Control: "Yes. Those two leaves have just grown. Not at first. ”

"Just now?" Wang Xiaotian was even more puzzled, "How long?"

Master control system: "A few minutes ago, the temperature of the incinerator dropped by several hundred degrees. Two leaves appeared. ”

Wang Xiaotian immediately jumped down from the bed where he was sleeping and said, "Take me there." ”

The main control system immediately told Wang Xiaotian the path.

Wang Xiaotian hurried all the way to the elevator and pressed the button on the 64th floor. The elevator sped down for about ten minutes before it came to a steady stop.

Wang Xiaotian got out of the elevator and saw a huge cylindrical building in the room, covered with pipes of various thicknesses.

Master control system: "This is the incinerator. That thing is inside. ”

Wang Xiaotian: "How can I see him?" ”

"Wait a minute. In front of Wang Xiaotian, the main control system projected a holographic image to show the situation inside.

Wang Xiaotian magnified the broad bean-like thing on the image, then looked at it carefully, and asked, "Do you have a conscious mind reaction?"

Conscious thinking response is a sign of whether a creature is intelligent or not. According to the IQ evaluation standard, the stone that has no conscious thinking reaction at all has an IQ of zero. The stronger the conscious mind response, the higher the IQ.

If there is no conscious mind reaction, or the reaction is weak, it means that the object's reaction is a conditioned reflex. For example, the phototropism (avoidance) of some low-level organisms.

Master Control: "No." ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Take it out, put it in a safe place, and then, conduct a biochemical test." ”

The main control system immediately complied. Ten minutes later, the main control system told Wang Xiaotian, "You can only scan, not cell analysis." ”

Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, "Why?"

Master control system: "Because the probe cannot be penetrated." ”

"I'll wipe it!" Wang Xiaotian was speechless for a moment. The probe can't penetrate it, how hard does this thing have to be?

He reluctantly said, "Let's do a deep scan." ”

Three minutes later, the main control system reported a message: "Only the shallow layer of the target can be scanned, and its outside is a dense and hard layer of unknown substance, and inside is a homogeneous gel of unknown composition." Scanning rays cannot penetrate this substance. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Use a press to see if you can squash it." ”

Master Control System: "...... This will cause damage to the target. ”

Wang Xiaotian: "It's okay. Didn't think of it as a good thing anyway. ”

At first, Wang Xiaotian still attached great importance to Elite's magical armor. However, when he learned that the armor was alive, and that it was probably the same thing as the parasite on Daisy's body, he never wanted to use it for himself.

Originally, he wanted to destroy it completely. However, I didn't expect it to be destroyed. Now, what he's doing with that thing is purely for research. Since it is research, it is necessary to use various means to carry out it in all directions. Damage is inevitable.

The main control system accepted Wang Xiaotian's order. A minute later, it responded, "There's a strange phenomenon, do you want to take a look?"

When Wang Xiaotian heard that there was a strange phenomenon, he suddenly came to his senses, "Look." Of course it depends. ”

The master system projects holograms again. Wang Xiaotian saw that on the anvil of a huge press, there was a green object half smaller than a real broad bean. A huge hammer descended to hold it down.

The hologram immediately becomes a high-magnification close-up. Wang Xiaotian saw that after the hammer was pressed down, there was no change in the strange broad bean. As the pressure continues to increase, the strange broad bean has not changed at all.

But after reaching 10 million times the atmospheric pressure, the broad beans suddenly turned into gelatinous shapes and were directly pressed into thin slices by the hammer. When the pressure is reduced, the flakes quickly retract and become fava beans again.

Wang Xiaotian immediately understood that this was the peculiar phenomenon of the main control system. He thought for a moment and said, "Try it in turn with strong acid and strong alkali." I don't believe it, there's nothing to get it!"

A robot goes over, picks up the strange broad beans from the anvil, and takes them to another lab. Another robot has prepared two measuring cups with strong acids and bases.

The robot first puts the strange broad beans in a strong acid. An hour passed, and the strange broad bean didn't change at all.

The robot takes out the strange broad bean from the strong acid, wipes the strong acid on the surface, and then puts the strong alkali into it. An hour passed, and the strange broad beans still remained unchanged.

Now Wang Xiaotian was depressed. Strong acid, strong alkali, heavy pressure, and high temperature can't hurt it in the slightest, so how to deal with it?

Throw it away? Definitely not. Although Wang Xiaotian didn't know, how Elite got this thing. But if it is thrown away, it is quite possible that there will be an Elite again.

And who knows if this thing is alive or not, and if it holds a grudge? If it has a memory, it knows that it has tormented it to the death. What if it tempts the next host to trouble itself?

Throwing it in the tower? At Base 2, the parasite on Daisy bewitched the base's main control system, causing it to betray the explorers. Now the traitorous AI is still in the tower.

The fence system is a barrier for humans against animal tides. Until the problem of animal tides is completely solved, there can be no surprises in the fence system. So, this strange bean must not be left here.

Wang Xiaotian thought about it for a while and decided to take the risk and give it a try. He instructed the main control system: "Bring that strange bean here." Bring in another console. ”

Soon, a robot, holding a strange bean, and another robot holding a one-meter-square metal platform, came to Wang Xiaotian.

One robot lowers the console first, and the other robot places the strange beans on the metal table. Then the two robots stepped aside.

Wang Xiaotian looked at the strange beans and said to himself: "The high temperature, heavy pressure, strong acid, and strong alkali can't help you, do you want to use the Force?"

As he spoke, he took out the stabbing sword from the original crystal space, raised it above the strange bean, and gently slashed it downward, but the strange bean did not react. He slashed twice, three times, but the strange bean still didn't react in the slightest.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaotian was lucky enough to slash down directly.

The moment the sword touched the strange bean, it suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. Wang Xiaotian immediately let go of his sword and quickly took three steps back.

The light vanished instantly, and the stabbing sword fell to the ground. Wang Xiaotian saw that the strange beans on the operating table were gone, and the blade of the stabbing sword was wrapped with a layer of green film-like things. This green film should be a strange bean!

Wang Xiaotian walked over cautiously and carefully examined the stabbing sword. The blade part of the bayonet is wrapped in a green film, but the hilt part is not, and it is still the same.

He thought for a moment and instructed the main control system: "Let the robot hold the bayonet sword and soak the green blade with strong acid and strong alkali respectively." ”

A robot took the command, walked over and picked up the sword, and turned to go out. The master system delivers holograms.

Wang Xiaotian saw the robot holding the stabbing sword, came to the laboratory just now, and put the tip of the stabbing sword into the strong acid and strong alkali in turn. After two hours of testing, it was found that the bayonet wrapped in a green film was unharmed in strong acids and alkalis.

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be moved. However, he was more worried that if he used his bayonet, the green film would quickly spread to himself.

And, based on what had just happened, he made an inference. The magical armor of Ellett, including the shield, the shape or something, is the original ordinary armor and shield, and the reason why it has the ability to be stealthy and summoned at any time should be the film that this strange bean has become, which is produced by covering the armor and shield.

This also explains why, in the hot incinerator, Elett's body, armor, and shield are all gone, leaving only this strange bean.

Moreover, this also illustrates a problem, the film formed by this strange bean will shrink at high temperatures!

Then, Wang Xiaotian thought of another question. Is this strange bean dead or alive?

The system detects that it does not have a conscious mind response. Supposedly dead. But why does it become a film? Is it an instinctive reaction to the Force? Or is its state of life completely different from that of the creatures of this world? The equipment of this world cannot detect it?
