Chapter 110: The Discovery of a New Element

A bird's-eye view from an alien sky.

Joan's camp was connected to seventy or eighty conveyor belts, spreading like cobwebs in all directions.

A large amount of steam erupted over the camp, making the surroundings as smoky as civilization had first entered the Industrial Revolution.

To the southeast, a group of monsters is attacking the oil gathering station.

They are more muscular, their feet are sharper, and each knife leaves deep scratches on the building.

The upper turret locks onto the target and ejects it with one shot.

"Bang!"

A monster died instantly.

Then, the turret fired again, but a monster jumped straight away, dodging the cannonball and sweeping the turret firing port.

Sparks erupted, and the turret mouth bent suddenly.

"Si~Ha!"

The monster roared and ran towards the next turret, while the monster behind it destroyed the gathering structures built on the mine along the way.

Sirens sounded inside the camp.

"Tsk.... The monster has evolved again. Joan frowned as she looked at the images transmitted by the drone.

As the camp grows, the conflict with the monsters seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Sometimes they even went into the camp to attack, but luckily Joseph was equipped with an attack device in the camp, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

They then added a fortified plot to the ground, which prevented the monster from being decapitated.

"Huh~" Joseph yawned and walked out of the room, and saw the overlook and sighed helplessly.

"Broken through again?"

Joan nodded.

Joseph sighed, "Hey, forget it, there's only a month left anyway, and then this territory will be given to them." ”

Their communication station construction materials have been almost saved, as long as the microcrystalline components are used to form the sensors of the communication station, this disaster can be regarded as a successful end.

At the current pace of manufacturing, the task will be completed next month.

"I hope so." Joan looked back at the turret transmission, and the turret-destroying monster ended up succumbing to the second line of defense.

And there are nine such lines of defense.

It can be said that the three of them have been able to clear the customs without doing anything.

"Hehe, my brother has been holding back for a long time." Joseph has already begun to fantasize about his happy life.

They have been on this planet for ten months.

Even if it is a resident research project, it will only be three months at most, and this experience is really enough.

"Oh, don't you have Ellie?" Joan looked at Joseph and laughed.

Since they've extracted the oil resources, they've refined a lot of synthetic items, like clothes, and silicone.

"Hey, I'm not a puritan like you, and I'm not going to suppress my desires."

"Besides, I'm better with Ellie than Johnny's kid, he stays with the crude oil beast every day, and I can't stand the smell...."

Joseph spread his hands and said that he was like this and could not be changed.

Qiao An didn't tease much, and the time for the two to have a meeting and joke passed.

In the long days, there are only three living people, if it is not for the victory in sight, I am afraid that there will be psychological problems.

Johnny, as a sociologist between the three of them, goes to study the crude oil beast every day, but fortunately everyone is more rational, otherwise they don't know what would have happened.

Crude Beast is their name for a monster.

They are indeed very peculiar creatures, even if Qiao An has built a geothermal power station now, after further research by the Crude Oil Beast, the energy output is almost the same, which shows how special the existence of the Crude Oil Beast is.

It's as if someone goes back to the 18th century and tells people that there is a substance that can make a vehicle travel five or six hundred kilometers with just twenty or thirty liters, and they must be scolding whimsical.

And the crude oil beast is such an existence, the more you study, the more magical it feels.

After a while, Johnny came out of the lab and, with some excitement on his face, went to the console to enter the newly discovered data.

"What, what did you find?" Joseph approached and asked.

Jo Ann turned her head as well.

Johnny nodded as he typed, "That's right, I've made a big discovery!" ”

"There's a reason why these crude oil beasts are able to produce so much energy."

"I have come up with a result after examining the carcasses of 324 crude beasts."

"Although their body structure is very special, this is nourished by a special element, that element is very powerful, these crude beasts are just contaminated with some breath, and they have such an incredible performance."

It's just that it was contaminated with some breath, and the crude oil beast has become such a powerful structure?

Johnny's words surprised Joan and Joseph.

If a new element is identified, it will be no less than a major discovery of fusion energy!

"Are you sure what strange element it is?" Joseph was extremely curious and hurriedly asked.

Johnny shook his head, "We can't capture this element with our devices alone." ”

"I've only found traces of new elements."

"When the crude beasts are burning, the weight changes very unnaturally, and I have measured that there is another element present in them."

After listening to Johnny's story, Joan and Joseph were a little disappointed, but they also ignited their fighting spirit.

Once the communication station is set up and the star base is contacted, they will be able to know exactly what the newly discovered elements are through advanced equipment!

The data is constantly updated and recorded, and the three of them have been chatting for a long time on this topic.

Until the alarm sounds.

They looked at the surveillance footage and found something very surprising.

The Crude Beast is attacking again.

But this time, it was not on land, but on flying crude oil beasts, densely packed with nearly a few hundred.

They added a pair of flesh membranes to their original appearance, sticking out from their backs, and now they look a bit like bats.

As if the ground could not be attacked for a long time, they began to change their strategy and change their form.

"This monster is evolving so fast!?"

"Fack, if it's in the ocean, isn't it all on land, sea and air?"

"The higher the neuronal system, the most adaptable cells, they really have intelligence!"

The three of them commented on this and also discussed how to solve it.

The turret, even if it has been improved, has a limited range, and it is also a weak point in the air.

This required Joseph to redesign a new defense blueprint.

"Damn the crude oil beast, can't you stop it?"

Now was not the time to develop a new defensive weapon, so Joseph picked up the modified laser spear, put on his gear, and walked outside.

Naturally, Joan and Johnny will not be left behind.

Now that a new Crude Oil Beast has appeared, how can you stop moving forward, cross the front, and start a close battle with the Crude Oil Beast in the air.

Tiny lasers shoot through the camp, occasionally hitting a flying crudemon that falls to the ground, before being rewound by the turret.

But at the same time, a new alarm sounded, and at the edge of the camp's collection of resources, multiple worms stretched out on the ground, seeping into the ground with many mouthparts open.

They squirm for a while, then spew out a thick cloud of corrosive liquid that spills directly onto the building or turret.

After a while, the building it touched began to react, and it collapsed as if it were molten steel.

Look at the situation.

Joan, Johnny, and Joseph are in a heavy mood.

Not only does the Crude Beast evolve, but it also knows how to work tactically, which is not a good thing.
