Yao Fei'er flipped through the illustrated book and muttered, "If this thing keeps growing, will it turn the entire primeval jungle into that carbonized state?" Carbon-based life is overly dehydrated, and most of them die. ”

Li Tianya asked: "Is there water vapor in space?" If there wasn't that much water, how would these water-absorbing boulder worms survive, and how did they get to this planet? ”

At this time, Yao Fei'er had already read the introduction of this insect beast quickly, and said after simplifying the scientific terminology: "The reason why they are called boulder insects is that they can maintain a dormant state like a stone in a harsh environment, and their energy consumption is extremely low, like suspended animation. Their growth is also intermittent, eating, sleeping, sleeping, and dormant like when we caught the tongueworm just now, thinking it is a big rock. Conventional detection equipment is unable to detect signs of life, which is also a means of self-preservation.

However, once they wake up, they need a lot of nutrients to maintain the functioning of their bodies, especially the energy expenditure of the brain. They first directly extract water molecules from the surrounding organic life, expand to an area hundreds of times larger than themselves in a short time, cover a large area, and then slowly devour the organic life forms in the covered area.

They probably have eaten up a lot of planets, and they have just invaded this pristine planet. Anyway, the illustrated book says that this boulder worm has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, and even if they are broken, each piece can grow up. They reproduce by this fragmentation. ”

"It's good that we ran fast." Li Tianya asked again, "Where is the weakness of this thing?" If we get covered, will we be able to escape? ”

Yao Fei'er shook her head and said: "This thing needs some kind of high-frequency electromagnetic shock to break, ordinary bullets and even laser guns can't break it, and the body composition structure is different from the pattern we usually know." If we are covered, we can only open our physical defenses to ensure that we do not die of lack of water, and then find a way to escape from its coverage area. ”

Li Sa had never encountered this kind of insect beast in his previous life, and he hadn't heard other players talk about it. One is that the world map is larger, and the chance of meeting other players is very slim, if a player encounters this kind of insect beast, it may be dead, so no one mentions this strange insect beast.

"So, did the insect really fall from space to this planet?"

"It should be." "I still have a high-altitude probe, and now I'll release it to see if we can find any monitoring devices outside the atmosphere." ”

Li Tianya said in disbelief: "Do you think this kind of primitive place can have high-tech things to monitor in the sky?" ”

"Maybe, is the whole planet like this? If we can find traces of civilization, we may be able to borrow its equipment to amplify our communication signals. Yao Fei'er has achieved a high level of control in the previous world with the help of the app, and now she naturally intends to try to at least establish a more efficient communication network, connect more players, and gather more information.

Based on the news he got by chance in his previous life, Li Sa led everyone to guess the truth: "You say, could this place belong to a higher civilization world?" Maybe there are other monitoring devices outside the atmosphere, artificial satellites and the like. Advanced civilizations with interstellar navigation capabilities are inclined to immigrate here. It's just that we players became the first explorers. ”

Li Tianya echoed: "I think there is such a possibility. My last world was the advent of the interstellar age, and the spaceships built by humans were able to exceed the speed of light and migrate to habitable planets in large numbers. We players refreshed the human advance settlement on the immigrant planet, the environment of that planet is much worse than here, and the human race cannot survive without the range of the artificial large protective shield. ”

Yao Fei'er said: "In this way, every time we players are put into the world, it should be the historical microcosm of the so-called civilization, or some kind of approximate parallel world, because there are huge energy fluctuations and it is probably not virtual." And those who watch our live stream are some kind of higher-dimensional beings, or evolutionary us. ”

"You have a point." Li Sa thought the same thing, but at this time she was a little hungry and didn't have the energy to think about more complicated issues, so she proposed, "Let's see if it's safe around first, and then start cooking, shall we?" Sixty days, your preparation period has passed, and mine has not yet begun. While Chef Li is here, grab a good meal and commemorate our reunion. ”

When it comes to detecting the surrounding environment, everyone is still very positive.

Li Sa used the brainwave controller to search and delineate a relatively safe location, while Yao Fei'er released other unmanned control equipment to reconnoiter at high altitude and in a cave they had just discovered.

Litianya began to wonder how to eat the tongue of the longtongue worm. In addition to this main course, do they also want to pair it with some leafy greens? There seemed to be some edible plants under the surrounding grass and trees.

"The cave is temporarily safe, and there are two exits, I have a simple protective net, put it at the entrance of the cave on both sides, and add a little camouflage, even if you can't stop the insects and beasts, you can also warn in advance." Yao Fei'er was obviously apprehensive about the big mosquito swarm just now, and suggested, "In the open environment, I am always afraid that there will be any mosquito nuisance, the mosquitoes here are bigger than my head, let's go into the cave and settle down." ”

"Is the cave really safe?" Li Tianya was a little hesitant, trapped in the hole, and his agility actually didn't have much advantage.

Li Sa said: "For the time being, there are no creatures that can be marked by brainwave energy, let's hide in it first, in case it rains or something......"

As he was talking, the raindrops the size of beans had fallen.

It may have started to rain just now, but there are lush leaves above everyone's heads, and thick fallen leaves under their feet, and they are not drenched on their bodies when the raindrops are sparse. Now that the rain was clearly felt, it was still such a big raindrop, and everyone didn't think about it anymore and got into this cave.

Yao Fei'er arranged protective nets at the openings on both sides.

This is a kind of red laser protective net with its own energy sold in the system store. When opened, it emits a red light, the mesh is about one centimeter, and the outer contour can be glued to the hole, which has a certain plasticity. When something that breaks into it is larger than the size of a mesh, it will most likely be shredded or cut by this red light.

I just don't know if the hard shells of insects or native creatures here are laser-proof. The tongue worm looks hard and can actually be pierced by a laser gun, hoping that a big mosquito or something can't break through this protective net.

It's a pity that the two nets are not large, each with a coverage area of about two square meters, and it is possible to cover the entrance to this cave, but it is difficult to form a cage by yourself if you want to protect a larger space.

At the beginning, Yao Fei'er considered buying this, firstly, because the points were not rich, and secondly, according to the conventional environmental assumptions, she hid alone in a room in the city, and it was enough to paste the net on the door or on the window, and the energy consumption of a larger area was too high, and the price was not cost-effective.

Yao Fei'er also had to admit at this time that Li Sa really looked like a bit of an unpredictable prophet's special ability. Not only did they predict the situation of this primeval forest, but they also said that if it rained, it would really rain. Could it be that the improvement of mental power can help the perception and prediction of unknown things? (End of chapter)
