Chapter 60: Breeding Eggs
Qin Feng tried the arm thorn, it was very convenient and not in the way, usually close to the armor on the arm, bending the elbow would bulge, if the opponent suddenly came to such a moment during close combat, with the strength of this arm thorn, it was enough for the other party to bear.
"Is this still inanimate matter? It's just like Anne, huh? Could it be that this is also an organism? ”
"This, this ......" Anne had never seen anything like this before, and was also shocked.
"Space organisms?"
"Hehe, my uncle is blind again. Pure space organisms, judging from the inheritance of the mother worm, are really possible. But aren't we Void Worms space creatures, and we've never seen anything like this. ”
"The meteorite core has been collected, and there is basically nothing left here, can we go back?" Anne reminded.
Qin Feng was very satisfied with the results of this exploration of the anomaly.
But he still said, "Don't worry, before I entered this place just now, I saw something on the ground and wanted to go over and take a look." ”
"Huh? Uncle, what's the good thing? Anne was skeptical.
Qin Feng walked briskly towards the outside of the crater, because there was no strong gravitational pull of the meteorite core, which was basically similar to the gravitational force of the earth, with his current physical strength, he was almost like flying, not to mention the help of the space on the outside of the armor, almost like he was gliding in space.
After a while, he came to the outside of the edge of the pit, and Qin Feng asked Anne to release a detection cone beam to illuminate the front, and as he walked, he kept scanning the ground.
Qin Feng squatted down and took a palm-sized black drop-shaped vitreous in his hand.
The glass is extremely smooth, as if it were hand-blown glass artefacts, but it is not transparent. This vitreous is supposed to be formed by the cooling of the molten material ejected after the impact of a meteorite. Because there is no atmosphere, such a standard sputter is formed.
"That's it, it's useless."
"It's just the melting of ordinary rocks, and it's of no value." Anne commented from a practical point of view.
"Oh, I thought it was a useful mineral, too." Qin Feng looked at the surroundings and said with some regret. If this could be treated as a craft on Earth, it would be of no use at all, especially in the current state of fugitive.
"It's not bad as a souvenir," Qin Feng thought, "I'll just collect one and keep it as a souvenir." ”
"Huh?" Anne suddenly stopped talking, and after a while, "Uncle, under the influence of the collected substance, the eggs that were conceived began to form, do you see it?" ”
"Huh? So fast. Qin Feng was a little strange, "Didn't you say that the space has been balanced?" Will it still be affected? It won't have any bad effect on the eggs, right? ”
"From the current point of view, there is no bad impact, it just speeds up the gestation process."
"Oh. That's fine, but the eggs are in your space, how can I see it? Are you going to put me in your space? ”
"How is that possible, my space is built on the host, how can I put my uncle in it. Isn't that going to form a spatial circulation structure? ”
Qin Feng was a little dazed, in his impression, he didn't have this concept. When he was in college, he studied mechanics, and he didn't know much about pure mathematics, although he occasionally went online to read some information, but he couldn't establish a system.
"How can you see that?"
"Projection," said Anne, projecting a huge curtain of light that stood out in the darkness of the surrounding space. These techniques learned from Xingti, Anne used them very slippery.
On the light curtain, Qin Feng saw that there were three huge whirlpools that were divided into three independent spaces, each whirlpool had a small black dot in the center that could barely be seen by the naked eye, and there were several blue lazuli stones of different sizes in the space that were constantly volatilizing spatial energy.
"What's that little black dot, is that what you call an egg?"
"No, that's my life mark, and the eggs formed like this are mine."
"Oh, that's right."
The space for breeding insect eggs should be very huge, each of them can fit the current Xingti into it, Qin Feng also saw through the light screen that there were several spaces scattered around with magnetic cracking cones that were collected, which was much smaller than the space for breeding insect eggs. There is only one space, although it seems not large, and it is also very empty, and only the center is placed in the center of the collected pro-space substance.
The entire Anne's space is still very crowded at this point, and Qin Feng understands the reason why Anne said that she can't fit too many warships, and it seems that it really takes up space to conceive these three eggs.
If this place is emptied, it is estimated that it can fit 3 Xingti. It turns out that I have such a large space on my body to carry around, which is really amazing.
"Annie, how much space do you have in your body? I think you said there were three. ”
"There are only three of them, and that's the space where these eggs are born."
"Hey, so don't you count the three spaces where you put your materials?" Qin Feng was a little puzzled.
"Those three small spaces are all separated from these three spaces, so that's what I mean when I say that loading too much will affect the breeding of eggs."
Qin Feng suddenly realized.
The Void Worm is a magical creature, especially the highly intelligent creature of the mother worm.
Qin Feng saw that the vortex in the space that gave birth to insect eggs was rotating around the small black dot as the center, and the space around it containing magnetic cracking cone and empty matter was slightly deformed under the squeeze of its strong characteristics, which also caused the space to rotate and accelerate.
The spatial energy emitted by the blue lazuli is constantly compressing the gestation space itself, gradually turning from transparent to translucent, slowly wrapping the small black dots around the center, and the vortex is also slowly becoming smaller, falling on the space material wrapped in the small black dots, forming a seemingly insect-shaped outline, but it is different from the bracelet in Qin Feng's hand.
This silhouette is estimated to be several hundred meters in size, which should not be worn by anyone.
Under Qin Feng's gaze, the silhouette was still shrinking, and the spatial energy began to materialize again, but unlike the blue lazuli, the spatial energy here was affected by the black dot in the center, turning into a faint gray, and transforming to black with the compression of the spatial matter.
"How long does this gestation process take?"
"At the current pace, it will be done in two more hours."
"Normally, it shouldn't be so fast, it takes three to seven days to condense, probably stimulated by the materials I put in, and the space activity inside has intensified."
"Too fast, doesn't it have an effect on egg formation?" Qin Feng hadn't seen the eggs conceived, but he was a little worried.
Anne didn't answer, her mind was still on the eggs.
Qin Feng found a larger stone and sat down, quietly watching the breeding of insect eggs, this is a wonder of space creatures that others can't see. Of course, there are outsiders present, and Anne will never show it, which can be regarded as her core privacy.
"Uncle, in the process of breeding eggs, I can hardly use the spatial ability, and generally the female worm goes to a remote place where she thinks it is safe to breed, so you can only wait here."
Qin Feng thought about it, isn't it true that many creatures on the earth are like this! It's a biological instinct.
"It's okay, it's not more than 2 hours, I'm just here watching the eggs hatch, it's absolutely safe here, there shouldn't be anything to affect us."
Also, this is the edge of the river system, and it is rarely visited. If there are people who are these people brought by Qin Feng, it is impossible for the exploration teams to go so far to get here due to their limited ability, unless they take the small spaceship assigned to them, but that also loses the purpose of assigning exploration missions.
Qin Feng just watched quietly like this, for nearly 2 hours, the outline of the eggs became more and more obvious, the size had shrunk to less than 1 meter, and the color of his body had changed from light gray to black now, which was no longer opaque. The vortex on top shrank accordingly, and it looked like Star Swirl in a bracelet, so Star Swirl was really a vortex.
The vortex of space.
If it contracted at this rate, it was estimated that it would soon form the insect egg that Qin Feng had collected in the Mine Star Cave last time. But for some reason, when the eggs shrank to more than ten centimeters, they stopped shrinking, and they were still vibrating, and the blue lazuli in the space had already volatilized.
"What's going on?" Qin Feng and Anne asked questions almost at the same time.
Qin Feng asked tentatively, "I see that the blue lazuli in the space is gone, is it not enough energy?" ”
"Maybe, I'll put a few more pieces inside, which is far more than the amount of energy required to conceive eggs in the female insect inheritance."
Anne was pregnant with eggs for the first time, and was clearly inexperienced.
However, she still put two fist-sized blue lazuli stones in each gestation space, and it seems that she is still very cautious.
As soon as the blue lazuli is placed inside, it is immediately attracted by the egg, which quickly volatilizes and decomposes into the spatial energy that originally composed it, and then is absorbed by Star Swirl on the back of the egg, and finally even a piece of blue lazuli has been directly liquefied and pulled into Star Swirl.
The eggs contracted at a rapid pace, turning into a ball of less than two centimeters in a matter of minutes, the protruding tentacles that kept appearing were constantly fluttering, and Star Swirl on her back was already combined with the eggs, slowly spinning.
There was not much left of a blue lazuli, only the size of a fingernail, and the eggs stretched out a few tentacles to hold it in their arms. The remaining space around it slowly forms a translucent eggshell space that envelops it.
The eggs have been conceived, and they are suspended in Anne's space.
The Void Worm was really born from space, and Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh at the magic of the Creator.
Qin Feng saw that the eggs conceived by Anne were obviously smaller than the eggs collected last time, and they looked more solid, and he could also see that it was still moving in the egg shell space, unlike the last time when it only occasionally wriggled.
"Why is it so small?" Anne was the first to ask.
She flashed out, pointed to the eggs on the light curtain, and then took out one of the eggs in disbelief and examined them carefully.
"It looks a lot smaller than that one, but it's much more mobile, so it should be more powerful." Then he smirked.
