Four bodies and a piece of iron. This is the only thing left in the lead stone. "Dig out the bottom and figure out what's going on in the whole mine."
Zhao Mai also agrees with the old man's idea, and the most suitable one for this job is Z worm. Zhao Mai's latest chimera spacecraft flagship is called "black emperor". Black nature refers to its color, which also means dark earth. Emperor is the abbreviation of Dragon Emperor. It has been flying over the mine, keeping invisible and slowly lowering its altitude.
The invisible pipe comes down from the invisible spaceship and plugs into the entrance of the mine. Then z-bug lands from the pipeline and enters the workplace quietly. For ordinary people, the ability of invisibility and silence had no effect on the old man. He watched for a while with great interest and expressed surprise and appreciation for the actions of the workers and insects. When he saw the completely alien guard, he was absolutely amazed.
The black streamlined body and smooth body surface can imitate the surrounding environment at any time, playing the role of camouflage. The special sound-absorbing structure enables them to keep quiet all the time, break through the sound barrier anytime and anywhere, and give full play to their explosive power.
Magic Dragon's skin and talasqui's claws make them never lose in hand to hand combat. Combined with flash, flight, escape and gasification, the alien now has more terrible assassin means. But near body also has the corrosive liquid to spurt, the distant distance has the high heat ray, these methods enable the present Z insect alien to adapt to the more complex combat situation.
One is nothing, but after a while, six of them came down from the spaceship and took camouflage mode to stand guard around. So many ferocious creatures made the old man frown. According to his current observation, Zhao Mai did not control the most creatures, only more. The general rule of the multiverse is that the stronger the creature, the slower it will reproduce and the fewer it will be in number. However, this restriction seems to have lost its effect here. It seems that Zhao Mai as long as you think about it, mass production of this alien is easy.
Fortunately, Zhao Mai has always been very restrained. On the ideological level, he takes the harmonious coexistence of multiple species as the highest guiding principle, and has never launched a species war. But in the future? The old man set his back to thinking. For a long time, the competition of the detachment mainly focused on the ideological field, mostly the dispute of ideas, and sometimes evolved into the dispute of power. But there may be a new form in the future: the dispute of existence. If the detached people only have thoughts, but they don't have a civilized society to practice them, the whole universe is full of Zhao Mai's worms What is the meaning of existence?
The old man is worried, but he will not equate worry with threat, let alone treat it as "reality". He looked at Zhao Mai, who sat quietly beside the lead stone shell, holding the piece of iron in his hand, and did not know what he was looking at.
All things are strange, but the most strange thing is this iron. Zhao Mai was sure to see that it had wriggled like an organism and suspended in the center of the stone. The wave explosion of the world sends out the natural force, the realm of God and the will of life, which can even make the dead grow muscles and organs again. It will not kill any living things at all, let alone turn them into iron.
Material alchemy is able to change one substance into another, but it is also very difficult to change all complex living bodies into the same substance from the physical point of view, and so many compounds into iron from the micro level! What's more, if we want to cover up any clues, wouldn't it be quicker and safer for us to burn directly and turn it into ash? Why do we have to work hard to turn it into iron?
Wait a minute, Zhao Mai found himself neglecting a problem. No matter how it becomes iron, this process takes place all over the world. Only when we obey our own rules, can our ability produce effects - the ability to disobey the rules will be invalid. That is to say, this piece of iron is not "changed", but the ability fails, so it returns to a certain initial state. In other words, this piece of iron should be the original state of the creeping creature after it stripped its ability, not the corpse it evolved into.
But even steel is not made from a piece of iron!
"Old man, is there any creature born out of iron?"
The old man was pacing slowly and stopped suddenly. He walked up to Zhao Mai, took the piece of iron in both hands, and examined it carefully. Zhao Mai saw that he should have thought of something, so he waited patiently.
The iron block was constantly changing in the old man's hands, stretching, shortening, twisting and breaking. Iron or iron, doubt or doubt. After a while, the old man said, "if we exclude the artificial mechanical life, we haven't seen it. But I once heard a rumor in the ring alliance. It was a long time ago. My qingniu was still alive at that time
"I'd like to hear about it."
"The credibility of that rumor is very low. It tells the story of a mage who didn't learn very well. The mage went through all kinds of hardships to catch his enemy, so he cursed him for suffering forever. However, the mage knows that his life is limited, and after his death, his curse will gradually lose its power, so he can not achieve the effect of immortality. So he turned his enemy into iron, the final material of the universe after losing heat and vitality, which will always be iron and will never change. The enemy lives like iron, and pain and injury will always be with him. ""Why iron?"
"Er..." The old man scratched his head and said, "in my opinion, Tao is a process of change and circulation. There is no ultimate substance. However, in physics, lighter atoms fuse into heavier atoms, which is the principle of stars and the most obvious source of cosmic energy. And this process will be terminated when the iron element is fused, because if the iron element is fused, it needs to absorb energy instead of releasing it, so this reaction is impossible. And with the decay of elements with high atomic numbers, we all end up with iron. "
"But that statement is flawed." After listening to this, Zhao dad helped the presbyopic glasses and said.
"Of course, of course, there are problems. Even if we don't consider black holes, from a physical point of view, iron is not the final product - but the mage didn't know at that time. He chose a complicated way to deal with the enemy, resulting in extremely complicated results. The last word of the rumor is, "so he made the Negros."
"Negos? Monsters devouring the universe of death? The end of all things? "
"Oh, Zhao Mai, I don't think everything will really end, just one state to another. Of course, there is a difference between the good and bad state, I will never accept that kind of state. But It's just a rumor. It's more like a reverse story based on the name of "the terminator of all things." The old man shook his head: "now that you have asked, I will tell you that there is no need to hide even if it is nonsense. Now I'm more concerned about why this thing was put on the earth, when it was put here, and who did it. And, is there more? "
"How can I find it? I can't cover the whole earth with world waves. "
"I can sweep the whole earth with Tai Chi." The old man said, "but it needs to be decided by a meeting of the detached people. Zhao Mai, are you ready for your first vote? "
