Chapter 395: Mu Ling Planet Biological Illustration
Chen Lin was indeed very interested in such things. He flipped through the tablet twice happily and noticed the appearance of a large number of animals and plants that he had never seen before.
“Those people have done a thorough research on the creatures on the Wood Spirit Planet, and the names of many creatures are acceptable to us, so we confirmed their names according to the corresponding names after translation. "
The captain smiled and said to Chen Lin: "I heard from the staff at the Biological Research Institute that some creatures should be transported back to the Origin Star for hybrid experiments, and they should be able to cultivate more by then. The perfect kind."
Chen Lin waved his hand towards the captain, then directly found a place to sit at the temporary base and started reading the biological illustration.
All kinds of detailed data on Mu Lingxing were already found at the original Hell Gate military base. They obtained it directly after invading the network through Fuxi AI, which saved them the step of launching satellites.
Jupiter is only about 20% smaller than the Earth. Its diameter is about 11,000 kilometers. Its land area and ocean area are significantly different from those of the Earth. The ocean area on Jupiter accounts for only 30%. , a large amount of land area fills the planet.
Previous gas tests on the planet are basically similar to the data obtained now. The planet's air contains a large amount of xenon, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which is not suitable for humans to breathe directly on this planet.
However, for the creatures on the planet, they have evolved various complex organs, which are enough to ensure their normal survival on this planet.
The first thing that caught Chen Lin's eyes were the small creatures in the biological illustration.
The small flying creatures named spiny bats have a strange appearance, and are purple all over. They are similar to the floating beasts originally discovered on the Origin Star, except that they have two pairs of four wings, and their mouths and claws are extremely sharp. As mentioned above, these creatures generally live in water. On the other side, the main food is fish creatures in the river.
The information in the illustrated book contained a video. Chen Lin clicked on one and noticed that the picture was of groups of spiny bats flying on the water. The purple skin seemed too dazzling and bright, but It's just the right type on the Wood Spirit Planet.
Chen Lin turned down the page and noticed that what appeared next was a large herbivorous creature.
Its name is Sturmmon, which is a large-scale creature exclusive to the Wood Spirit Star. It can grow up to more than ten meters long, five meters high, and weighs up to fifteen tons.
This creature has a striped skin color of indigo and orange, and its temper is not very good. However, the illustrated data clearly states that the flesh of this creature is firm and contains a large amount of protein, which is the composition of the creature. The ecological basis of various races on the planet Mu Ling.
All kinds of predators and wood spirits hunt Sturm beasts to obtain meat protein. The whole body of this creature can be used as materials, from the leather on the surface to flesh and blood, bones and even feces are extremely useful.
The illustrated book clearly states that this type of creature is just like the bison on the other side of the earth. It has a large population and likes to move in groups, and has a very high degree of socialization. Although this type of creature has a low IQ, They will fiercely protect their young, often like bison herds back on Earth, uniting to fight off predators.
However, the illustrated book also clearly states the fatal weakness of this type of creature - low IQ, which makes them easily preyed upon by major predators.
Fortunately, this creature also has a very unnatural ability, that is, it can give birth.
The fertility of Sturm beasts is very abnormal. It may be due to the special climate of Jupiter and the pressure of the ecological circle in which they live, which has caused their organs to evolve accordingly. This huge creature A litter can give birth to four to six baby Sturm beasts!
It is similar to the grassland creatures on the earth. The little Sturm beast can follow the herd in a short time after birth, and can quickly grow to four meters high, six meters long and weighing more than five tons in six months... ...This thing is the most unbelievable bottom-level herbivorous creature on Muling Planet. It can be said that it constitutes the underlying structure of the entire ecosystem!
If the Sturm beast suddenly disappears on the Wood Spirit Planet, a large number of predators and Wood Spirit people will have no main source of meat, and the ecosystem will collapse at least in a short period of time.
“Have we caught one of these things before?”
Chen Lin pointed at the creature on the illustration and asked Xiao Wu beside him. The guard Xiao Wu looked at it carefully. eyes, and immediately shook his head towards him.
"Mr. Chen, the thing we caught last time was not like this. That thing was invisible and looked like a rhinoceros becoming a spirit."
"Ah, what you said made me think of it. That thing is a four-eyed rhinoceros monster, and this thing is a bison monster..."
Chen Lin suddenly recalled it, and he asked Xiao Wu : "Didn't the meat I brought back last time have the same texture as beef? I don't know if I tasted it later. I wanted to try it at the time, but I was blocked."
Xiao Wu suddenly smiled bitterly: "Brother, these weird creatures from other worlds should not be regarded as divine farmers easily, right?"
"Isn't this novel!"
Chen Lin smacked Haha, he waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about the four-eyed rhinoceros. I don't know if that thing is edible... but this Sturm beast is really edible. I saw that the illustrated book mentioned military bases. These large herbivorous creatures are hunted daily to replace the unpalatable starship nutritional meals.”
"Then we can give it a try. We can just ask the humanoid machines over there to help kill the two ends and transport them back."
"I have this plan too."
Chen Lin He nodded with a smile, how would he know if it tasted good or not if he didn't try it?
Leaving delicious food without trying it is simply a shameful waste!
Chen Lin then looked back and quickly turned to the illustration page of the Four-Eyed Rhinoceros. This thing was named [Hammer-Headed Thunder Beast], and detailed data was given. The height, weight and habits are all introduced in detail, and the magical ability of biological invisibility of such creatures is highlighted.
According to the illustration, the invisibility ability of this creature is like some kind of effect that changes color according to the surrounding environment. The hammer-headed thunder beast itself is completely purple, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the ecosystem on the Wood Spirit Planet. However, in order to ensure the safety of the group For survival, generally the leader of the group of hammer-headed thunder beasts will automatically evolve the ability of biological invisibility. This ability can ensure the leader's super high survival rate and attack hits, which is extraordinary.
"Not all creatures like emotions are invisible."
Chen Lin looked up at Xiao Wu and said, "This thing is similar to the leader of the flock. The leader It has some kind of invisibility ability, and it feels like an alien chameleon."
Xiao Wu chuckled: "That's it, then you don't have to worry about their threat."
" These things have bad tempers and are huge. If they really regard our various equipment as enemies, they will be destroyed after a few collisions... Our ordinary equipment does not have the abnormal resistance to beatings of humanoid machines." "This is estimated. Do you already have a solution? ”
Chen Lin curled his lips and said: "What plan can we have? Just kill them. Any creatures of this type that dare to approach our mining area, whether they are herbivores or carnivores, we will kill them all. Get more This time, no creature dared to get close."
Xiao Wu stared at Chen Lin for a few seconds, and then reluctantly accepted this plan - it was simple, direct and effective, and it was indeed in line with their needs. Way.
The illustrated book gives suggestions for eating this creature called the hammer-headed thunder beast. Of course, according to the eating method at the Hell Gate, the flesh of the hammer-headed thunder beast is indeed not suitable for meat. It is edible, but the illustration clearly states that this kind of thing can be eaten as meat after being refined.
It will be easier if you have this sentence.
"I wanted to try the hammer-headed thunder beast last time, but you all refused to let it go, saying it was too dangerous... The illustration clearly stated that it can be eaten, so it will be okay this time, right?"
"Of course it's no problem."
Xiao Wu said angrily from the side: "Brother, I said you can't eat a normal diet. Our professional gourmet team will follow you 24 hours a day, and we will be there at any time. It can provide high-quality food, but you want to try those weird ingredients from aliens..."
"This is called trying something new, don't you understand?"
Chen Lin gave it to Xiao Wu. He rolled his eyes, pointed at the hammer-headed thunder beast on the illustration and said, "This thing looks special, and the meat must taste extraordinary. I will try everything!"
He turned back and saw another deer-like creature named [Peacock Deer]. This blue creature has a unique shape. The soft membrane on its neck can be stretched out at any time, simulating the appearance of an apex predator. appearance, thereby scaring off predators...
This deer-like creature, like the previous Sturm beast, also exists as the bottom layer of the ecosystem to provide meat, and the Kodama people hunt regularly in their survival. These peacock deer serve as food.
“There is another one like this!”
The Predator on the Wood Spirit Planet was even more perverted. Chen Lin looked through it and quickly saw the interface of the Predator.
The top predators include [Death Beast] [Banshee Winged Beast] [Gryphon Winged Beast] [Viper Wolf], and some are special creatures in the ocean. Military bases do not have detailed data. , only gives some vague concepts.
The Death Beast among them is actually similar to the Black Panther on Earth, except that it is larger. Its main characteristics are similar to the creatures on the Wood Spirit Planet. They have six legs and tentacles used to connect the neuron network. The whole body is dark. It can be regarded as the top predator on the entire Wood Spirit Planet.
Their main food targets are Sturm beasts and other herbivores. Small carnivores are also their prey. Their sturdy size and sharp claws and fangs ensure their absolute dominance. , the extremely fast movement speed in the dense forest allows them to even cause a lot of casualties to the mercenaries in the military base. The illustrations repeatedly mention that you should avoid fighting when encountering such creatures.
The Banshee Winged Beast is a pterodactyl-like creature, and has a similar appearance to the Griffin Winged Beast shown in the illustrated book later.
"Are these the mounts of the Wood Spirits?"
Chen Lin frowned slightly when he saw this noted in the illustrated book. He thought about it, and immediately He quickly remembered that when he controlled the Hell Gate Military Base and the final battle between the Wood Spirit Tribe, the Wood Spirits rushed to the battlefield from various tribes - a large number of Wood Spirits were riding these pterosaurs. Kind of creature!
"There is something very magical, Colonel Chen."
The captain finished his work outside and was walking in from the outside. He pulled out the paper and said to Chen Lin: " According to the information we got from the network of the military base, Jupiter is not a simple planet."
He handed the paper to Chen Lin, which contained some relevant data analyzed by the research institute.
The samples obtained by these data were all recorded from the Wood Spirit Star during these times. The various animal and plant samples collected and the "tree elves" dropped from the home trees constitute some kind of magical ecological "Internet" ", this structure similar to a neuron network makes up everything on Jupiter.
Chen Lin glanced at the entire content on the paper, then raised his head and looked at the captain: "This means...this planet is a living thing?"
"We can't talk about living creatures, but those scientific researchers believe that this planet has some kind of consciousness. Each of their trees has a huge number of nodes connected to other trees. They may use bioelectrical signals to transmit information. The entire planet is formed. The system may be more complex than the human brain... but the current data we have studied and the relevant data previously studied at the Hell Gate military base cannot support the relevant speculations."
The captain said: "We also can't. There is no way to directly establish contact with the so-called [Planet Will] of this planet. After all, their neuron system is very special and the interface has evolved naturally. There is no way to directly connect with it using our equipment."
< br>Chen Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then asked aloud: "Will it have any impact on our current work?"
"There is no impact yet, but the scientific research department is worried that there will be problems in the future. "
"Is there anything related to the Hell Gate Base before?"
"Here's the problem... Hell Gate Base suffered many setbacks when it was mining minerals on this planet before, including attacks by beast herds, attacks by Wood Spirits, plants growing overnight causing equipment damage, etc. , our personnel are analyzing relevant records, and some people speculate that this is the influence of the so-called [Planet Will]."
Chen Lin sighed, Mu Ling Planet is indeed very special, those creatures. Each one has a biological organ similar to a network cable socket. Sockets like trees can be found at any time, and they communicate with the entire planet at the same time. This cannot be justified even if it is not the will of the planet.
"In this case, our mining of minerals will be hindered by the will of the planet in the future..."
He slowly said, "Is there any way to cut off the will of the planet? Impact? For example, remove all the trees in this area, or extract all the things similar to neurons in the ground, or use some other means."
The captain shook his head: " The will of this planet is most likely the Jupiter itself. As long as we mine on this planet, we will inevitably have to come into contact with it. The association wants us to be prepared for contact if the will of the planet wants to communicate with us. , there is a high probability that it will be done through the Wood Spirit Man.”
"At present, the only person who can understand Mu Lingyu is you, Colonel Chen."
