Chapter 1058 Weird Partner
Silicon-based people are similar to Transformers. They are more like mechanical life forms than silicon-based life forms.
On the surface, the Silicon Man and the Golem have great similarities. They are more like magic mechas shrunk to human size, but the Silicon Man actually has nothing to do with the two.
The biggest feature of silicon-based people is assimilation. If parts of their hands and feet are amputated due to an accident, silicon-based people can use metal to turn them into their own new hands and feet. Different metals will also bring different characteristics.
Aluminum will be lighter, gold will be softer, and titanium will be stronger.
If you touch a silicon-based person, you will find that he is not as cold as a machine as it seems on the surface. In addition to the softness similar to flesh and blood on your fingertips, you can even feel the body temperature of the silicon-based person.
Ah yes, they are actually thermostatic.
The easiest way to completely kill a silicon-based man is to destroy the heart hidden in the chest. Otherwise, in a place like a ship where the ground is full of metal, he is likely to regenerate indefinitely.
In addition, throwing him into the void is also a convenient and quick method.
Silicon crystal people like Long can survive in the void, but silicon-based people cannot. Their body temperature will be taken away by the void and they will fall into hibernation within a few minutes. If they continue to stay in the void for more than an hour, silicon-based people will will die completely.
The other crystalline people are also different from ordinary mortal races.
The appearance of the Crystal Man is very similar to that of the Earth Elemental, especially the hair that looks like a whole piece of gems or minerals, but the difference is that the skin of the Crystal Man has a gem-like reflection.
Although they look very similar to humans, in terms of genetic relationship, crystal people are actually closer to silicon crystal people like Long.
Crystallized people also have assimilation properties and can absorb minerals for regeneration. They feel similar to flesh and blood when touched, and even weigh similar.
But unlike silicon crystal people who are completely adapted to the void environment, crystal people are also unable to survive in the void. They are also endothermic animals. Although they do not need to breathe oxygen, they will die from the ultra-low temperature of the void.
In the past, these two races often fought for the minerals of resource galaxies. It was not until more and more races entered the void era that the war between them eased and they gradually integrated into the void family.
To say that they are rare, it is true that they are not everywhere like humans, but if you want to look for them, you can still find some on colonial satellites.
Mainly, the relationship between these two races is similar to that of elves and dwarves. They both dislike each other. If a crystalline person takes the elevator, a silicon-based person will never be with a crystalline person even if he takes the stairs, and vice versa.
It is even rarer to travel together using high-speed commercial ships like this.
Facing Alyssa's inquiry, the crystalline man and the silicon-based man looked at each other. The former kept raising his hands and said:
"Although there is some unpleasantness between our races, it has nothing to do with us."
"Just think I'm talking too much. So, do you have any materials to prove your identity?"
"We have ID cards issued by the Beso Kingdom and a temporary residence permit from the Swirling Water Federation, which are in a suitcase in the escape cabin."
"I need to verify this."
Seeing that Alyssa was determined, the crystal man slowly retreated into the escape cabin, and soon came out with a suitcase.
She tried her best to show all her movements in front of Alyssa, and she also tried to open the suitcase at a normal speed, so as not to arouse suspicion and lead to a fuss.
Soon, he took out a few ID-like documents from the mezzanine on the side of the suitcase, flicked them casually, and soon floated in front of Alyssa in the weightless hangar.
The crystallized person's name is Emma, and the silicon-based person's name is Kong Lin. Both names on the ID cards are female, and they look real, not fake evidence made with money.
Alyssa confirmed the ID, signaled Hall and Sophia to put down their guns, and threw the ID back.
"Why did you come to the Dark Star Territory on a high-speed commercial ship?"
"We were in an emergency, but we didn't wait for the passenger ship, so..." Alyssa suddenly interrupted:
"Where are you from?"
"The Ohm colony satellite 17 yars away from here."
"Where are you going?"
"The Capital System of the Spinning Water Federation."
This guy lied.
Even if a high-speed commercial ship is modified, it can only jump a distance of 3 to 5 yars at most. After all, it is just a civilian ship used in the galaxy, and it is not even as far as the original Manta Ray.
There is indeed a colonial satellite called Ohm outside 17 Yar, but there are almost no places to stop along the way. With its weapons, it is very dangerous to operate alone in the dark star field. No matter how lucky you are, high-speed commercial ships are not very safe. Probably came from that far away.
What's more, Alyssa recalled the star map. There should be several resource satellites nearby within the jump range of high-speed commercial ships. It is also normal for pirates to operate nearby. Their main goal is to transport away resources from the resource satellites. mineral.
There must be something marked on the star map of the high-speed commercial ship, and they must also know that there are often pirates around here, but they still dare to come. This cannot be explained by simple anxiety.
No matter how anxious you are, it won't be more important than your own life. This guy is probably avoiding the important and taking the easy.
"Miss Emma, what are you doing in the capital of the Spinning Water Federation?"
"It's a business matter, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Who do you work for?"
"Galaxy Trading Company, we are here to discuss cooperation this time."
"Why don't you turn on the distress signal?"
"Our escape capsule is sealed and you can't see the outside from the inside. I was worried that the pirates were still around here, so I didn't open it."
Fang Lanyin quietly came to Alyssa at this time and whispered a few words in a low voice.
The emblem of a certain flower that I saw before was indeed the logo of Galaxy Trading Company.
Two foreigners from the Beso Kingdom had urgent matters and went to the capital of the Spinwater Federation, claiming to be negotiating business. Even though there was a high possibility of being targeted by pirates, they had to go to the Dark Star Territory...
The level of suspicion is almost off the charts.
However, these two guys are indeed suspicious, but they are not dangerous people.
When Alyssa was pondering their details, Emma suddenly said: "Well, can you send us to the capital of the Spinning Water Federation? Of course, I will pay you a reward and a thank you."
She actually turned against the guest.
"We will not change our route, but according to the provisions of the Constellation Law, we will send you to the nearest neutral space station. During this period, you will receive the necessary supplies to sustain your life, but do not leave your room, otherwise we will would be considered a threat.”
Although suspicious, everyone who ventures into the void has some secrets.
Just make sure they are not dangerous people. As for what secrets they have, it doesn't matter compared to the starship.
