Chapter 1139: The Thing in the Stone Egg

"The main component of this kind of thing is silicon, which is similar to a stone. It's not the macromolecular structure of a star beast. How can it be called a living thing?" Niu Dazhi looked serious.

"The definition of living things has no clear boundaries. In the universe, there are too many life forms that you cannot understand. Let alone silicon-based, let's talk about viruses as we know them. They don't have cell structure or even consciousness, but viruses are Belongs to organisms, reproduces by splitting..."

Eveyou turned her fingers with a leisurely expression, and then said: "So, if you saw a stone with structural self-replication ability that day, it may be a living thing, but we can't understand it. life form."

"It's as if you've seen it before." Niu Dazhi said angrily, and then hurried out of the bridge.

Eve turned around and wanted to punch him, but when she turned around, she found that the fat man was running faster than a rabbit.

...

Inside a red dwarf.

Fang Yuan walked through the thick gaseous plasma layer: "How far is it from the core area?"

"About sixty kilometers." Ye Zheyu gave a visual data.

For Fang Yuan, the distance of sixty kilometers is just the blink of an eye.

In the gaseous plasma of a red dwarf, however, one has to be careful.

Half a minute later, Fang Yuan arrived at the torso core of the silicon-based stone brain.

As Ye Zheyu said, the core of the silicon-based stone brain is like a huge takraw ball, and the black and red roots gather here to form a huge hollowed out takraw ball.

This takraw ball can't be seen at a glance, and its diameter is at least six thousand kilometers.

Inside the takraw balls, there are also some medium takraw balls, and inside the medium takraw balls are smaller takraw balls.

The internal structure of the silicon-based stone brain is a structure of a big takraw ball inside a middle takraw ball, and a middle takraw ball inside a small takraw ball, just like an infinite matryoshka.

In the end, when the takraw ball is as small as the size of a room, these structures are densely packed inside the silicon-based stone brain.

Gaseous plasma flows inside the takraw ball of the silicon-based naphtha.

Fang Yuan walked through the takraw ball structure of silicon-based lithography, observing these cage-like takraw ball structures,

There is a faint strange feeling.

Observing all the way, it didn't take long.

Fang Yuan discovered a strange rattan ball structure.

This sepak takraw structure is completely closed from one side.

From the other side, there was a hole.

Using "takraw" to describe the internal structure of silicon-based stone brains means that these "takraw" structures are hollow.

However, the one I see now doesn't look hollow, it should have been closed, like a stone egg.

The closed stone egg is thirty meters in diameter, which is very wide.

Fang Yuan raised his vigilance and said in the communication channel: "Did you see the stone egg in front of me? This structure is different from other takraw balls."

"I see, the structure is indeed different, but I checked the interior just now, and there is no danger." Ye Zheyu replied.

"Help me see if there are other similar stone egg structures around." Fang Yuan said.

"OK."

Ye Zheyu agreed, and after three minutes, he replied: "Sixteen similar stone egg structures were found after scanning a radius of 3,000 kilometers, but without exception, a hole was broken in all of them."

This discovery immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the Shenzhou.

The picture of the stone egg is presented on the big screen of the bridge.

Everyone stared at the screen: "Is this the egg of some creature? And there is a hole, which means that the hatched thing escaped?"

This idea is the first feeling of most people.

According to the normal way of thinking of human beings, when encountering such an egg-like thing, the first thought is what hatched inside.

And the egg has a hole, which means that the things inside have grown and ran out.

As soon as these words came out, people immediately felt creepy.

"Captain, you have to be careful. If something really comes out of it." Eve said so, but her eyes were shining, clearly wanting to see what was coming out of the stone egg.

Han Youwei said with a serious expression: "According to the description of the data, the silicon-based stone brain is a kind of conscious creature, which is classified as a civilization by the Carbon-based Alliance.

"The main body of the silicon-based stone brain civilization is the silicon-based stone brain, which is a self-replicating, or growing, organism.

"According to the data, there should be no hatching of other creatures.

"Our first reaction is that stone eggs are hatching creatures, because hatching larvae is a common way of reproduction for carbon-based organisms on the earth.

"However, in the universe, this method of reproduction may not be the most common."

After listening to Han Youwei's analysis, everyone felt reasonable again.

Human beings were born on the earth, and the creatures around them are all silicon-based life forms, and they are all similar life forms.

So, when you see other creatures, you subconsciously connect with the earth creatures.

Therefore, when one sees an egg-shaped object, one subconsciously thinks it is an organ for hatching biological larvae.

However, this is only a common reproduction method of carbon-based organisms on the earth, not necessarily the reproduction method of other cosmic organisms.

Inside the silicon-based lithic brain.

Fang Yuan stretched out his hand to touch the hole in the stone egg, narrowed his eyes and began to think: "The hole looks sharp and angular, it looks like it's new.

"Lao Ye, help me look around and see if there are any broken pieces around."

"OK……"

Before Ye Zheyu finished speaking, he found what he was looking for: "I found it. In the direction of three o'clock in front of you, at a distance of about ten kilometers, there is a thing the size of a millstone. It looks like a fragment of a silicon-based stone brain. But it's not certain if it's a fragment of a broken stone egg."

Fang Yuan immediately went to find the fragment, and then put it on the stone egg's opening for comparison: "It's the stone egg fragment, that's right."

Although the stone egg corresponding to this fragment was not found, judging from the cracked texture and texture structure, it was a stone egg fragment.

Moreover, the water chestnuts of the fragments are still very sharp, so I don't think it is something that has been broken for tens of millions of years.

"According to the records, the silicon-based stone brain was active 60 million years ago. If these stone eggs were broken at that time, the broken fragments would have been pushed to other places by the plasma layer..."

Fang Yuan quickly made a judgment: "So, these stone eggs should have been broken recently, so that the fragments will stay here."

"What? Isn't that what's inside, and it hasn't been long since it came out?" Eve's eyes widened, and she became even more excited.

"Don't get too excited, if that's the case, then these stone eggs should have been broken by the Palesean civilization. Don't forget that the Palesean civilization left traces of activity at α61 Square Block." Zhao Anya reminded.

"That's right. Could it be that the 'Photon Leap' was obtained from the thing in the stone egg? The thing hatched by the silicon-based stone brain was taken away by the Palesian civilization!" Eve thought of another possibility.
