#602 - Chapter 602 Silicon-Based Octopus
The issue with India and Pakistan isn't urgent right now; the most important thing is to figure out what methods the Moni people actually possess.
Continuing to switch through the images, Dongfang Chen discovered something new again.
This image was in the sky above a city, but it was impossible to know which country it belonged to.
The city had already fallen into a state of war, with many different kinds of aircraft attacking a strange creature in the center.
This creature was much taller than a skyscraper and looked like an octopus.
However, unlike an octopus, it had at least 16 legs. Some legs supported it on the ground, holding up its body. Some legs were flying in the air, attacking the surrounding aircraft. Aircraft that were hit directly exploded and fell.
The octopus's skin was generally gray-black in color and looked very hard.
Judging from the color, it looked very much like metal. But metal couldn't be as flexible as skin, and this octopus was very agile, which was strange.
"What is this octopus? Which country produced it?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"I have no impression," Mengka still didn't know.
"..." Dongfang Chen was speechless.
Since Mengka had no impression, it was estimated that it couldn't be found in the Mars database either.
This couldn't be blamed on her; after all, after the Mars base was damaged, it was like humans suffering amnesia, and a lot of content was lost.
"Then, from your perspective, what could this thing possibly be?" Dongfang Chen asked from a different angle.
"Judging from its characteristics, it could be a silicon-based lifeform," Mengka said.
"What's the reason?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"The material of its skin. The cells of carbon-based lifeforms are very soft, and even if some creatures have exoskeletons, their exoskeletons don't have extensibility. But the cells of silicon-based lifeforms are very tough, and their extensibility and oxidation resistance are stronger than ordinary metals," Mengka said.
Dongfang Chen nodded, agreeing with her statement.
"Then what camp do you think this octopus belongs to?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Without a doubt, it definitely belongs to Sirius," Mengka replied.
Because Sirius belonged to silicon-based lifeforms.
"This is very different from what Long San told me! How could there be silicon-based life on Venus 1 billion years ago? Didn't you say that the survivors of Sirius are destroying humanity by controlling the Moni people?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"There's no contradiction there. The existence of the Sirius survivors was only discovered hundreds of thousands of years ago. There was no such concept 1 billion years ago. At the time, I thought it was just an ordinary robot. Moreover, the Blue Star ecological transformation plan was before the appearance of this silicon-based lifeform. When the Dragon Kingdom was formulating the plan, it didn't consider this factor," Mengka explained.
Dongfang Chen nodded and said nothing more.
He continued to flip through the images but didn't find anything useful.
Moduo Da's thunder storm lasted for 20 minutes.
Basically, 90% of the bugs in the thunderstorm area were eliminated, and the ground was covered with scorched marks.
The four huge buildings were not affected by the thunderstorm and continued to output new bugs.
The border area was quickly filled again.
Anyone could guess that the thunderstorm attack must consume a huge amount of energy. Moduo Da couldn't use this weapon indefinitely, so there was bound to be a good show to watch next.
Moduo Da's 27 unmanned warships had been hiding outside the attack area since the thunderstorm began. Now that the thunderstorm was over, Xiao Lin maneuvered them to turn back and attract new bugs.
On the other side, the 37 Ok Huns warships that hadn't reached Zha Hei yet didn't dare to continue forward after seeing the thunderstorm in the distance and could only slow down.
The Great Sun Kingdom warships behind them didn't press closely either, and also slowed down.
Pu Tian Xiaoyezi hadn't returned from the Elder Hall yet, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
Inside the Moduo Da Main Sect, the cult leader was having a headache seeing the bugs from India and Pakistan being killed off and then coming back again.
When you encounter someone unreasonable, there's simply no other option but to go head-to-head.
Looking at the time, it was now 2:00 PM. There were still 20 hours until the start of the sacrificial ceremony.
If they didn't find a way to eliminate those bugs, 20 hours would be enough for them to rush to the Caspian Sea in one go. At that time, the eastern core area of Moduo Da would be completely swallowed, and the sacrificial ceremony would definitely be affected.
"Order all Elder Halls to gather all followers of Rank 3 and below, and immediately rush to the southern border to form a defensive line nearby, and be sure to intercept the bugs from India and Pakistan to buy time for the sacrificial ceremony," the cult leader ordered.
The Moni Sect has a total of 108 Elder Halls. Assuming that each Elder Hall has an average of 30 Rank 3 mutants, a total of 3,000 mutants can be gathered. As for Rank 1 and Rank 2, they're just there to make up the numbers, their combat power is not good, and they can only do odd jobs.
Dividing up the 2,500-kilometer-long border line, each person would have to defend a section of about 1 kilometer.
The combat power of these mutants is limited, and defending such a long distance is simply an impossible task.
