Chapter 889 Starworm
Yao Yuanshou put the worn and deformed excavation drill aside and waited for his body to cool down.
Four underground mines were opened.
So far, a total of four electric vibration stars have been dug out, and three of them have been handed over.
Yao Yuanshou knew that in order to gain the trust and support of the Yao civilization, he had to show his value. Promptly giving the results of underground excavation is to prove his exploration and excavation capabilities.
As the excavation deepened, it found that the situation was not optimistic.
It was difficult to dig deep underground because of the large-scale vibration that could occur at any time in the Silver Plain. According to the Yao research station, it was the shock caused by the fall of the electric vibration star.
It is difficult to determine the scale and intensity. There may be only one star falling, or hundreds of stars falling, or even continuous long-term shocks and ground waves like rain.
When the vibration reaches the underground, it will collapse the mine.
To maintain the passage and mine and reduce the risk of collapse, it is necessary to do a good job of supporting the construction in the mine. But this not only consumes a lot of foreign materials, but also takes more time to build the well, and it is impossible to produce results quickly.
Yao Yuanshou doesn't have the energy now.
It must obtain enough electric vibration star fossils in a short time in exchange for the continuous assistance of the Yao civilization. How much support and resources it can obtain is directly related to the speed of its excavation of stars.
This is obvious.
Yao Yuanshou knows that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Originally, it had prepared itself to sleep underground in this world for a long time until all its energy was exhausted.
It has tried its best to ask for help, even releasing and receiving signals on a large scale on the ground.
Except for some signals from electric vibration stars, there was no response.
Yao Yuanshou admitted defeat.
The appearance of Luca ignited hope for it, which was disheartened.
"Then let's develop this place together."
The metal life shaped like a skeleton said so.
Yao Yuanshou was a little moved at the time.
Although it was only for a moment.
After contact, Yao Yuanshou found that Luca was not stupid. He was a veteran who had experienced many battles and had a clear judgment of danger.
The other party showed an unwavering optimism.
It believes that the Yao civilization behind it can provide sufficient support in front, and has no doubt that the Yao civilization will stand firm in this strange and dangerous world and expand further.
Luca said: "As a soldier and warrior, you must learn to trust your comrades and partners around you unconditionally. When facing danger, you need to believe that the other party can help you, and you also need to protect the backs of others."
"If you don't do this, you can't survive."
Yao Yuanshou is very envious.
Envy the Yao civilization behind Luca, envy it for the protection of God, envy its experience and sharpness.
It can't remember when it had someone it could trust. It was probably in its childhood when it was vaguely conscious. At that time, it knew less, was not so painful and tired, and had a kind of simple stupidity.
Did Luca find that he was lying?
Yao Yuanshou was not sure.
Ninety-nine percent of what it said was true. The only difference was about the life named Yao Yuanshou.
Now Yao Yuanshou is very uneasy.
Because Luca has been away from the mine for 4 days.
"I received an order and need to go back. I will come back as soon as possible."
After saying this, it never saw Luca again.
On the third day, Yao Yuanshou flew all the way to the research station and asked about Luca's situation.
The god with a big sword on his back said: "Sorry, no comment."
The cold tone made it feel that it was not good.
Yao Yuanshou went there again on the sixth day, and this time it didn't even see the blood knight.
Only a skeleton man in heavy protective clothing received it and told it: "If Mr. Luca comes back, I will tell him for you."
Polite and leak-proof.
In contrast, the research station of the Yao civilization is visibly expanding. The crystal wall continues to extend outward, and a large amount of sand and soil transported from the outside world is transformed into a large field. The Yao tribe has built a farm town on the silver plain.
They also optimized the farming method, first cultivating the roses as tall as trees in the Yao civilization world, and then transplanting them in.
Although the survival rate of adult transplants is very low, relying on a large number of hard piles, a black and white forest composed of roses has been created here.
Yao Yuanshou also saw that the Yao workers were already digging mines.
They adopted very large-scale and standardized operations. The workers carried out different stages of labor in an orderly manner. They used special mattocks and shovels to chisel the not-so-hard roses, and then sent them back to the other side of the world after concentration.
Even if the power of the Yao tribe was curbed and everyone was struggling here, they could still mobilize a huge manpower to complete all the infrastructure.
Luca had no news, and the research station continued to expand.
From these changes, Yao Yuanshou got an uneasy signal.
——The Yao civilization may not need him anymore.
It is only a matter of time before they dig out the electric vibration star.
On the tenth day after Luca left, Yao Yuanshou could no longer sit still.
It decided to go and ask to join the research station to see what they said.
If it was rejected, it would mean that the Yao civilization really wanted to abandon itself, a worthless outsider. If it agreed, there might be a little hope.
It left the safety of the burrow and saw a large figure in the distance.
It was Luca wearing a heavy, feather-like protective suit.
At this time, Luca was stepping on a board with four wheels under it. One foot is fixed on the board, the other foot steps on the metal ground, and then it can move smoothly.
Very basic movement structure, but practical.
Luca circled around Yaoyuan's head and stopped gracefully with one foot: "This is the most practical "sliding board" made by the rear engineers. When you step on this, you can go several times faster on the Silver Plains, which is very labor-saving." We have also tested before that when encountering ground waves caused by vibration, as long as the center of gravity is lowered, it can glide smoothly in the undulations. "
"I taught the people at the research station how to use this to slide on the waves. Now this thing has become a standard equipment for everyone, and they have to fix it on their backpack when they go out."
Yao Yuanshou felt a little relieved: "Are you going to teach skateboarding in the next few days?"
"No, Lord Blood Knight gave me a forced three-day holiday. Later, I was testing this tool with them. Although it has a simple structure and looks very ordinary, it is very difficult to calculate and test the most suitable material and size. not easy……"
The silver skeleton picked up the sliding board on the ground, looking very precious.
Yao Yuanshou was speechless.
What a crappy thing.
Is this what you did?
"There is another confidential mission, which must be kept secret at the time and cannot be disclosed. Now that I have received the authorization and release from the ban on it from Lord Blood Knight, I can finally tell you."
"Come on, I'll take you to see something good."
Yao Yuanshou followed Luca all the way back to the research station.
Luca rode his favorite skateboard around the bends and entered a courtyard surrounded by high crystal walls and a black and white forest.
There are Yao guards standing guard here. They hold shields and spears in their hands. They are all made of cyan metal. Like pickaxes, they have high strength and density.
What surprised Yao Yuanshou was that there was a strange snake-like life inside.
Its body is composed of silver balls.
Yao Yuanshou confirmed again and again.
That thing is made up of 11 electric stars!
The electric vibrating star aggregate was currently coiled on the ground, burying the head at one end - let's think it was a head - into a large crystal bottle like a jar, sucking out the contents.
Purple flocculent gas floated in the crystal bottle.
It is high-purity gaseous energy.
Although it is not as stable as the World Stone and the Almighty Stone, it is very easy to absorb and adsorb. The gaseous state is a relatively easy to use form.
Yaoyuanshou returned his attention to the electro-vibrating star aggregate.
"what is that?"
"We call it "Star Bug"." Luca looked at the life that was eating in front of him: "This is also what I am busy with these days."
"This guy sneaked into the underground of our research station and stole the magic bottles we stored. It was the crystal structure magic bottle, which stored magic energy. It sneaked in and emptied twelve of them, and then we caught it. "
The silver skull put his hands on his hips and said very proudly: "This guy wanted to run, but he was hit by the Blood Knight, so he used our special weapon to deal with the electric shock star, the water gun."
"The water stored in the glass tube was pushed, squeezed and sprayed out. When they were hit by the water, a large amount of white smoke came out from the damaged and broken places on their bodies, and they immediately ignited."
"This is a heavy blow to the electric vibration star. Not only do they lose a lot of energy, but the body will also be further severely damaged. It will be unable to move all of a sudden."
"We came up with this weapon through repeated tests on the two electric vibration stars "Alpha" and "Axing". Although they are not suitable for external tasks, they are not bad as research subjects. They have strong personalities and are even willing to Take the initiative to accept the test in exchange for the supply of mana and continued repairs."
"Under normal circumstances, electric vibrating stars are not afraid of water, but they are not good at landing."
“We used water and a magic bottle to tame this star bug—it’s called a star bug, but it’s actually a special symbiote composed of 12 electro-vibrating star clusters.”
Luka pointed at the starworm in front and explained to Yao Yuanshou: "They are connected to each other. At first, the two electrovibration stars that just fell attracted each other to form the initial binary star. Then they continued to look for other electrovibration stars. . It’s best when it’s hot when it first falls, as it still has power to supply and store it…”
"During the screening process, agreement from both ends is also required, because the new electric vibration star can only be connected on both sides of the starworm. If both docking members do not agree or are unwilling, then they cannot be connected as one."
"We took it to the Sun Temple and asked about it. The electro-vibration star itself also has some compatibility and incompatibility, just like the channels you mentioned, they are judged by the frequency of flickering and jumping. Only when they are close can they compatibility and resonance, and move together. , otherwise it will become unsynchronized behavior.”
The Silver Skull concluded: "I have been cooperating with the Starworm during this period, gradually making it understand that we are going to dig the underground electric vibration star, and we will also provide it with magic bottles as a reward. The deep underground will gradually be handed over to it. Work hard, because it is better at finding other electric vibration stars. What we have to do is to provide support and supplies to give it a reliable and stable rear.”
"There are more than just this one star worm in the Silver Plains. It said that it has seen several. It's just that they have different channels and don't interfere with each other."
"In other words, our work is about to be handed over to them. As long as we continue to search for and tame star bugs, they can cooperate with us to complete the continuous mining of underground electric vibration stars!"
Luka laughed loudly: "Is this good news?"
"so good."
Yao Yuanshou said this, but he was extremely horrified in his heart.
The progress of Yao civilization was too fast.
How should I deal with myself?
"We have a new job." Luca looked over, as if he had an insight into what it was thinking: "Our job is to pay attention to the situation of the star worm. The second star worm has been found and is being tamed. The next one The Starworm will be given to us."
"Signal communication and surveying are your strengths, right?"
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Of course, I am professional in this area."
The two of them returned to the safety of the cave in silence.
Leader Yaoyuan finally made up his mind: "Actually, being a traveler is just a disguise. My real profession is to be a "standard soldier" who specializes in working in various space passages, tunnels and gaps... In the words of your Yao people, I am A burglar."
