Chapter 15 Heterostructural Organisms
'Bang bang bang-! ! ’
The moment the spy appeared, a large number of metal warheads flew over, and the first to attack was this captain...
However, the warheads all crackled to the ground, sending countless sparks, and none of them managed to hit the spy.
"It ran away?" This time, the captain responded very quickly. It slammed and the door closed immediately.
The soldiers around were still in a daze. They didn't expect the spy to be so fast.
"Fortunately it didn't come in." The captain sighed in relief, then took out a block-shaped object and said: "Now all notices, all attention, try to find the outsider! Be sure to catch it! Whether it is killing or You can catch them alive! Guard all exits and strictly check all entrances and exits!”
After releasing the announcement, the captain breathed a sigh of relief again, and then walked towards the center of the hall...
The spy is still behind it.
Because the spy was very close to the door just now, they all thought the spy had escaped without hitting, but in fact the spy ran in.
In this way, the spy can watch the wonderful creatures inside...
"How's it going?" The spy followed the captain to the end of the room—before the huge transparent wall, the captain asked a researcher in armor next to him.
"Recently, it seems to have begun to adapt to the high temperature environment." The researcher said: "The adaptation index has risen rapidly, and it is estimated that it will soon cross the freezing degree, but it is also difficult for us to use high temperature to limit its activities."
"I think you have also read the latest news." The captain said with some dissatisfaction: "The recent colonial meeting passed, they asked to get a few more teleporters here..."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. We still don't fully understand when it will produce a teleporter." The researcher looked at the creature behind the wall and said, "But it has a lot of food requirements recently. It may start to grow. This way we We must increase the scope of the base.”
when they talk. Lin is also observing the other side at the same time - the lost star, which can also be called a creature on the jelly star.
They... look almost exactly the same, the difference is probably only the difference in body size.
It is also in the shape of a starfish, it also has five tentacles, and the shell is also the color of ice and snow.
Also, they all feed on small worms.
The spy saw a square opening in the roof behind the wall. A piece of meat was dropped from above.
The moment the meat fell to the ground, many worms burst out from the tentacles of the starfish. They bit the meat and began to nibble quickly.
Strange, do they eat meat? Lin felt that she should go in and take a look.
"...Do we have to raise this kind of thing?"
While Lin was thinking about it, the captain suddenly spoke.
"Can't our current technology understand how this thing works?"
"Yeah..." the researcher said, "Although the method of long-distance transmission has been discovered recently, we still have no way of understanding how it works, and we don't even know how it digests food."
"By the way. Does it eat meat?" The captain seemed to have just reacted, pointing to what the worms ate inside.
"It prefers to eat meat recently," said the researcher, "but basically it is not too picky. It eats everything, stone, metal, soil, all kinds of substances, and occasionally excretes strange things like Something like gravel."
"But studying excrement can't draw any conclusions." The researcher said: "Maybe it can be dissected to know something, but this is the only one, it is impossible to do that, if it is parthenogenesis, maybe it can be studied in the future. It's cubs, but we don't know how old it is to breed."
"...It's really troublesome." The captain said: "Forget it, first find a way to get it out of the teleporter."
The researcher said: "It has just eaten, and it may not be able to do it for a while. By the way, Captain, a few newbies have come to the research room recently..." After speaking, the researcher walked to the captain and quietly faced it. Said, "Your relatives are here too."
"I see..." The captain also whispered: "I can't let the general manager know about this."
Although their voices were small, the spy heard them completely.
...newbie? This word was translated by Lin. This word can be used in many meanings, such as a fresh hand, a new hand, but the meaning here seems to refer to the new virtual people who have just joined here.
Speaking of which, it seems interesting to be here as them.
...So, the spy quickly found those newbies, and then figured out a way to replace the identity of one of the newbies, so that the spy also joined them again with a new identity...
When Lin went in, it seemed that it was not easy for these newbies to come here. They had to go through a lot of tests, and at the same time they were required to be at least the "five scholars" to be possible...
Five scholars is a title, which represents the number of professional skills that the youngster has mastered after the end of the study period. The requirement to come here to study is to master at least five specialties such as biology and machinery.
Usually the cubs only have one or two specializations. Although they basically see everything when they learn, not many can learn the essence. This kind of cub forms the largest group among the virtual people. Those who have arrived, the imaginary people who keep going back and forth on the street to work for a living.
Mastering three or more virtual people can usually become managers, or small bosses and other roles, and of course they will have an easier time.
And mastering five or more virtual people is eligible to become some top characters, such as researchers here.
They are holding a lot of virtual coins, looking at the wonderful scenery here, and doing light work at the same time, which is the envy of all virtual people.
It can be said that the future life of the virtual people is all based on their learning ability, because there is no instructor, and all the materials in the world are available, and everything learned is executed by the virtual people themselves. A way to pick out the elite.
Of course, there are still some exceptions. Among these novice researchers, there is only one kind of specialization when learning, but because it is a relative of the captain, with the help of the captain, it came in here in some ways.
This phenomenon is very common. Generally speaking, if the parents are relatively strong, their cubs can be completely worry-free even if they play all day...
However, it seems that there are only a few virtual people here who know the relative relationship between the captain and this newbie. Most of the virtual people don't know, including the manager here. It is said that the manager is a very serious virtual people, and this kind of thing will never happen. .
So Lin planned to tell the manager about it, it seemed like it would be interesting.
Before that, though, something else should be done.
"This is your device." The novice spy was led by an older-looking researcher to a room next to the 'Comprehensive Research Institute' that could observe starfish.
"You should already know the rules here. If you forget, you can watch it in the video."
This researcher was not as enthusiastic as the previous leader, and he left after saying a few words.
There is complete equipment here, and there is a lot of information about it, and it seems to be able to fully understand everything here.
Although, Lin has almost guessed it.
"This is what we call a starter." During the second day, spies and a group of novices were standing in front of a transparent wall watching starfish, and a researcher was giving a presentation.
Novices are very surprised to see the appearance of this starfish, because it is completely different from what can be seen from the outside information.
"As you can see, it doesn't look like the teleporter advertised outside." The researcher said, "But it wasn't like that from the beginning. In the beginning, it was exactly the same as the one advertised outside. It looked like a puddle. Internal organs."
"But...these internal organs are not dead..."
The researcher explains what's going on here and what newbies should do.
And Lynn was comparing it to another starfish in the distant void.
Initially, when they discovered the viscera-like object left behind by the Voidbus, the Voidfolk kept it.
And they soon discovered that this thing would appear similar to decay in a normal temperature environment, so they planned to put it in a low temperature environment.
Ordinary low temperatures will continue to rot, so the virtual people began to adjust the temperature lower and lower. Later, when they reached a certain level, they finally found that the object would not continue to rot, and even began to grow.
Later, the virtual people began to study this creature.
Initially, they just treated it as a normal creature and tried to feed it, and they found that it could eat a wide variety of things, but not very frequently, sometimes even once every few years.
Recently, they discovered that the starfish likes to eat things with fallout.
Later, in the process of growing up, this creature 'produced' some strange things.
This strange thing is a teleporter.
This thing is also alive, and the virtual people separated it and placed it. Later, by accident, they discovered that this thing suddenly disappeared.
And when it's gone, the starfish glows brightly, and strange energies are detected.
This is the beginning of their discovery of teleportation.
However, the jelly starfish on the other side of the void, apparently Lin did not see any teleporters from it, but their living habits seem to be very similar to the ones here.
That jelly starfish also feeds on various things, and recently it even ate one of the captain's hands.
However, no matter what they were, Lin was sure that the starfish wasn't something that was left behind.
They're supposed to be... Voidbus pups. (To be continued..)
