#809 - Chapter 809 Humans Are the Invaders
The moon, after all, is a barren planet.
Due to its small size, it also lacks a stable core.
This results in extremely cold temperatures even 30 kilometers underground.
This temperature is not suitable for the propagation of silicon-based life forms.
Therefore, the most abundant life form in this underground world is a plant called silicon-based giant mushroom fungus.
They resemble mushrooms in appearance, hence the name.
Although classified as giant, they are not actually very large, with the tallest reaching only 30 centimeters.
They are dull black in color, with a fuzzy surface, and their texture is not very hard.
They do not require air or sunlight for growth, mainly using inorganic minerals in the soil as nutrients.
In the entire food chain, they are the only producers.
The remaining silicon-based animals and microorganisms are all consumers.
Such a simple food chain is very easily destroyed.
If the mushroom fungus disappears, then other animals will collapse like dominoes, becoming extinct in a very short time.
Like humans, if we don't consider stockpiled food, then as long as the producers in the food chain, plants, disappear, the herbivores that feed on plants will become extinct in a very short time, followed by the carnivores that feed on these herbivores.
The collapse of the entire food chain may only take ten days, at most a month or two.
If Dongfang Chen hadn't built crop production warehouses in each base, these people would not have survived at all. At most, they would have starved to death in two months.
Of course, there are many ways to eliminate those silicon-based giant mushroom fungus.
They can be directly destroyed, or they can be allowed to die naturally by changing the environment.
From the perspective of cost and timeliness, direct destruction is a simpler method.
The underground world of the moon is actually not small, with a circumference of over 10,000 kilometers around the equator. The total area of the entire underground world exceeds 30 million square kilometers.
This area is roughly equivalent to the size of three Hua countries.
With such a vast area, changing its ecological environment is still very difficult with the technology currently mastered by Dongfang Chen.
Moreover, it cannot be completed in the short term.
Don't forget that there is almost no atmosphere on the moon.
Even in the underground world, the air is extremely thin, and there is no liquid water.
Without a medium for transmission, the environment is even more difficult to change.
Therefore, the most efficient way is direct destruction.
So, when the order for a general attack was issued, a large number of micro-robots in the base swarmed into the underground world.
They are equipped with micro-ion cannons, which are more than capable of destroying these mushroom fungus.
But somehow, just as the order was issued, Dongfang Chen, hiding in the small world, felt a inexplicable sense of unease.
Even Dongfang Chen the Second in Northern Siberia was restless.
As if something bad was about to happen.
May 27, 2062 AD.
The day after the general attack on the silicon-based creatures on the moon was launched, 738 young active volcanoes appeared simultaneously on the surface of the Blue Planet in Asia, Europe, America, Africa, Antarctica... and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans...
They grew hundreds or even thousands of meters tall in a single day, like bean sprouts sprouting from the soil.
The entire surface was trembling violently.
The Wulan Gumu Military Base, the Barto City Underground Base, and the Mosang Ark Base all suffered some degree of damage.
However, these volcanoes seemed to have unified their calibers, and none of them erupted.
Dongfang Chen the Second immediately realized that the attack on the moon had stirred up a hornet's nest.
He immediately issued an order to Zhang Yuankui to terminate the attack plan and temporarily evacuate.
In this way, he barely stabilized the situation.
He entered the Jade Cong small world and told Dongfang Chen and Chen Xing about the situation.
"No! No!" Dongfang Chen shook his head after listening.
The consciousness of the three people is the same, so of course they all know that something is wrong.
"Chen Xing, what do you think the problem is?"
Chen Xing's brain is the strongest, so he must have more insight.
"We may have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning," Chen Xing pondered for a moment and replied.
"Tell me about it."
Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Chen the Second both looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Since there is a problem with the Dragon Country, then the content they describe about the survivors of Sirius may also have problems. They may have been misleading us from the beginning," Chen Xing analyzed.
"That makes sense, continue."
Dongfang Chen nodded.
"You once said that you don't understand why all civilizations regard humans as enemies. Have you ever thought about the possibility?" Chen Xing asked.
"What possibility?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Maybe humans are the invaders, and all other civilizations are working together to deal with us?"
