Chapter 876 Active Brood, Terrifying Growth

These tentacles are very similar to the tentacles of the Star Beast's Nest. They are extremely tough, and even the damage caused by nuclear bombs is very limited.

After Fang Yuan saw the tentacles of the star beast brood appearing underground, he immediately took pictures with his battle armor and sent them back to the Space Fleet Headquarters.

"It looks like the tentacles of the star beast's nest, but the size is far larger than the nests I have seen before, and these tentacles are still growing, and the growth rate is very fast."

When Fang Yuan was reporting the situation, a dark brown tentacle in front of him had grown from a diameter of three meters to a diameter of thirty meters, rooted into the ground, and opened a big gap in the rock.

Fang Yuan had to step back a distance to avoid touching the dark brown tentacles.

Then, while inspecting with the "high-dimensional vision eye", he reported: "After inspection, the end of these brood tentacles cannot be seen. I need further investigation to determine the size of the occupied area."

After the report, Fang Yuan copied the "high-dimensional shuttle" again, circled around the ground, and then his expression became a little dignified.

"The brood tentacle covers an area of ​​more than 30 kilometers in diameter, and it is still expanding outward at a speed of 1 km per minute. This is the largest brood tentacles ever seen, and it is completely different from the brood tentacles seen before."

Since the war with the star beast civilization.

The number of star beast nests I have seen has exceeded a hundred. Most of the star beast nests cover an area of ​​about five kilometers in diameter, and the largest is ten kilometers.

However, the pile of black-brown brood tentacles that we see now covers an area of ​​more than 30 kilometers in diameter.

What's even more frightening is that these tentacles are still growing, expanding outward at a speed of one kilometer per minute.

This situation is very terrifying, which means that after an hour, this thing will become a terrifying monster with a diameter of one hundred kilometers.

The biologists urgently convened by the East China Sea headquarters expressed concern: "The situation is a bit wrong. From the characteristics of the star beast brood recorded in the database, there has never been such a highly active brood."

Judging from the star beast nests seen in the past, although the star beast nests are living things, they are basically incapable of movement.

Moreover, the growth of the star beast nest is also very slow. A star beast nest with a diameter of five kilometers needs at least a few years to grow.

However, the brood tentacles that appear now can expand by one kilometer in one minute,

This has exceeded human understanding of the star beast's nest.

Even beyond the understanding of biology.

There has never been any creature that can have such a terrifying growth rate.

If these brood tentacles occupy an area with a diameter of only 5 kilometers, Fang Yuan can still try to use nuclear explosions to deal with them, but if the area covered has a diameter of more than 30 kilometers, then a few nuclear bombs cannot solve it.

Several professors including Lu Xiuwen from the Institute of Biology were urgently recruited to the East China Sea headquarters.

After discussion, the countermeasure given is to take samples first and conduct research before analysis.

According to the order of the headquarters, Fang Yuan copied the "Death Star Ion Light Knife", cut off a tissue sample of dark brown tentacles, and sent it directly to the Institute of Biology for research.

The Institute of Biology has already prepared for the experiment, and it only took 20 minutes to give a preliminary research report: "Silicon-based life, the cell activity is 50,000 times that of ordinary humans, so it shows such a fast growth. speed."

50,000 times the cell activity, which has reached half the level of the God of War Red Dragon.

Moreover, the Red Dragon of the God of War is just a person, but this kind of brood tentacle is a monster with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers.

"Is there a way to destroy this thing?" Fang Yuan asked the key question directly.

Lu Xiuwen shook his head and said: "If you want to kill these cells, it's relatively simple, energy attacks like lasers can solve it.

"However, it is difficult to destroy a monster with a diameter of 30 kilometers. With the growth rate of this monster, it is impossible to kill it even with continuous nuclear bombs."

With a diameter of more than 30 kilometers, even if dozens of nuclear bombs are bombarded, it will be useless.

What's more, this monster is hidden in the ground at a depth of ten kilometers, and the nuclear bombs fired can't hurt it at all.

"Is there no other way?" Fang Yuan frowned.

"You have to ask how to destroy it. It is really difficult. But there is one thing, any life in this world needs the supply of matter and energy to grow. This should be the key."

Lu Xiuwen analyzed while thinking: "According to our research on the cell structure, we can basically confirm that this kind of thing is very similar to the star beast brood, that is, the cell activity is very high. We can temporarily call it an 'active brood'."

Fang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Lu Xiuwen meant by matter and energy.

Matter cannot be produced out of thin air. This "active brood" needs to grow, so it must have the substances needed for growth.

Because it is a silicon-based life, there is a lot of silicon in the soil.

Therefore, the "active brood" may obtain the silicon element needed for body growth from the soil.

It can obtain nutrients from the soil, and this growth method is very similar to that of plants.

Plants get nutrients from the soil, and then get energy from the sun to achieve the effect of growth.

However, it is impossible for the "active brood" to obtain energy from sunlight, not to mention that the energy provided by sunlight is too little to achieve rapid growth.

Therefore, the method for the "active mother nest" to obtain energy should come from the star source mine, and it should be the star source mine with a very high content.

If you can't find a way to destroy the "active brood" in a short time, then you should stop it from continuing to grow.

Then, there are only two ways, either to prevent it from obtaining the substances needed for growth, or to prevent it from obtaining energy.

Fang Yuan immediately asked: "Near the support arm of plate No. 3, is there any high-content Xingyuan mine?"

"No, not to mention the star source mine with high content, not even the most barren star source mine." Zhou Wensheng replied immediately.

He is responsible for the exploration work of the three plate support arms, and he knows very well whether there is a star source mine underground.

"In this way, the energy of the active brood is not obtained from the mine veins, but from other places..."

Fang Yuan pondered and made a judgment: "The star beast civilization must continuously send a large amount of growth energy to the 'active brood' in order to maintain the rapid growth of the 'active brood'.

"The work of destroying the 'Active Brood' can be done slowly, but it must first be prevented from continuing to grow. I am applying for this task to block the energy supply of the 'Active Brood'."

The frontline staff quickly discussed, and quickly gave a reply: "Approval of the application for action."

Fang Yuan returned to the Shenzhou, ordered the Shenzhou to lower its altitude, monitored the energy fluctuations, and looked for ways for the star beast civilization to supply energy to the "active brood".
