Chapter 817 Evolution
While Ma Xiaolong was organizing the night attack, Song Ziyu, who was far away at the Zhizhou headquarters of the Northern Steel Alliance, found Professor Wen and had a meaningful conversation.
"Professor Wen, after three years of separation, how are you doing now?"
Song Ziyu took the initiative to visit this expert from the Federal Research Institute and brought a bottle of good wine.
In this era of scarce supplies, a bottle of good, unblended grain wine can definitely sell for a sky-high price.
"The deceased passed away like a man, day and night, and three years passed by like a fleeting moment. I am much older than I was three years ago."
Professor Wen sighed, and then said in surprise: "Song Ziyu, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to visit me. It's really unexpected."
Song Ziyu smiled faintly, and then said: "Professor Wen, I am thinking of my old friendship. You came to Zhizhou to popularize the knowledge of silicon-based life forms to the scholars of the Northern Steel Alliance... Of course I want to visit you." .?
?.
"I'm thinking of my old friendship. Hey, you said it so nicely. Don't think I don't know. You are a guy who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. There must be something wrong here today."
Professor Wen grabbed the wine bottle in Song Ziyu's hand, then took out two paper-burnt glass cups from the display window, filled them up, and then took a nice sip.
"Good wine, good wine!"
Professor Wen took three sips of a glass of wine, then smacked his lips and praised.
Song Ziyu twitched his eyebrows and said: "Professor Wen, this is a 65-degree burning knife, and the stamina is very strong. Don't drink it to death. The country still needs you, and mankind still needs you."
Professor Wen let out a wine burp and then laughed and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense, for the sake of this good bottle of wine, if you have anything to ask, ask it quickly. Don't wait until I'm drunk and you won't be able to ask anything."
"
After hearing this, Song Ziyu slowly said: "Actually, it's nothing, there's just one thing I'm curious about."
"whats the matter?"
Professor Wen asked.
Song Ziyu said: "I especially remember when I traveled to the abyss three years ago and discovered those silicon-based organisms.
Although life can break out of the abyss and reach the plane where we humans live, it is limited by the influence of the environment and cannot stay away from the vicinity of the abyss... I remember you told me at the time that silicon-based life relied on sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide to breathe, and we humans
The plane is filled with oxygen. This oxygen is an indispensable source of life for us humans, but it is an insurmountable obstacle for silicon-based life."
Professor Wen couldn't help but admire when he heard this: "It's clearly organized and has a good memory. It would be a waste for people like you not to use it for scientific research."
"Excuse me, I'm just a layman." Song Ziyu's face turned slightly red and he said.
Professor Wen said: "I know what you want to ask! Are you trying to say, since silicon-based life cannot leave the abyss too far, why are they raging across the Federation now? Right?"
Song Ziyu nodded: "Professor Wen is really thoughtful. I only said half of it, and you already knew what I wanted to say."
Professor Wen said: "Song Ziyu, what you just said is correct. Silicon-based life is afraid of oxygen and relies on sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide to survive. But you have forgotten the premise of my original statement."
"oh?"
Song Ziyu asked: "What is the premise of this?"
Professor Wen said: "This is what I said three years ago. Can the situation three years ago be the same as now?"
Song Ziyu fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Professor Wen continued: "Three hundred million years ago, the climate of the Blue Star world heated up rapidly, and the oxygen content in the sea was unprecedentedly abundant. This environment prompted marine life to move towards land. After tens of millions of years, the creatures that came ashore were not only completely
Away from the ocean, countless new species have evolved..."
Song Ziyu interrupted Professor Wen's lengthy statement, and then said to the point: "You are saying that silicon-based life has evolved, so
Have they adapted to the Blue Star environment?"
Professor Wen nodded, holding the wine glass and having a hard time swallowing.
Song Ziyu trembled all over and said, "It's like you said! It took fish 65 million years to learn to breathe on the shore. How long did it take for these silicon-based creatures to adapt to the human plane? Three years?"
"Maybe less than three years..." Professor Wen added.
Song Ziyu sighed: "Does mankind really deserve such a catastrophe?"
"The emergence of life is accidental."
Professor Wen said something quite philosophical.
"Then what is the meaning of our existence?" Song Ziyu asked.
Professor Wen was silent for a long time, and then said: "I don't know either."
Song Ziyu stood up slowly and murmured to himself with a lonely expression: "Then what is the meaning of my coming to this world?"
…
On the front line of Yunshan, the night is as dark as ink.
Ma Xiaolong was deeply shocked when he saw the "paralyzed" silicon-based life forms everywhere.
These mechanical guys were lying on the ground, their bodies emitting a faint light.
Ma Xiaolong couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then kicked one of the small silicon-based life forms.
This silicon-based life form that looks like a wild dog makes a "buzzing" sound after being hit.
Immediately, this small silicon-based life form fell into a state of paralysis again.
Interesting!
Ma Xiaolong pulled out the silicon crystal sword he carried with him, and then pierced the body of the small silicon-based life form.
The hard silicon crystal sword is inserted directly into the body of the silicon-based life form like cutting tofu.
With a shrill scream, this small silicon-based life form was completely killed!
"Boss, what on earth is going on?"
The men accompanying the team felt confused and couldn't help but ask.
Ma Xiaolong was not sure of the reason, but he could make a rough guess.
"These guys are conserving energy."
Ma Xiaolong said slowly.
Save energy?
The uneducated Longshan soldier could not understand the meaning of this sentence, but he thought thoughtfully: "While these turtles are sleeping, we should give them a hard blow!"
Ma Xiaolong said: "You are right, we should hurry up."
So under Ma Xiaolong's arrangement, two thousand Longshan soldiers spread out like spreading beans and deployed the explosives and grenades they carried.
This was a job that required great coordination. Fortunately, the Longshan soldiers who participated in the operation were experienced enough and quickly completed the laying of explosives while the silicon-based life forms were "sleeping".
After completing this step, Ma Xiaolong let out a long sigh and waited for his men to retreat to a safe area. Ma Xiaolong detonated the detonator in his hand without hesitation.
The detonator has dozens of explosive points connected in series, and these explosive points are arranged at key locations to ensure that a martyrdom explosion can occur after the explosion.
The effect is very good!
The night's arrangements were completely in vain. Seeing the fireworks and loud noises exploding all over the mountains and plains, Ma Xiaolong had a smile on his face.
The harvest tonight was huge. Not only did I blow up tens of thousands of silicon-based life forms, but more importantly, I seemed to have discovered an incredible secret.
The weakness of these silicon-based life forms...
"Order everyone to prepare to retreat."
Ma Xiaolong said to the messenger beside him.
His men immediately began to move slowly.
Chapter completed!
