#983 - Chapter 983: Changes in the Pacific Ocean
"Heh heh, even if the shield is closed, you are doomed!" Transformed Crystal Steel sneered.
He still couldn't attack. Although the stellar storm had stopped, the surface temperature still needed some time to drop below -110 degrees Celsius.
Before that, he simply couldn't initiate an attack.
"Since you don't appreciate favors, then go to hell with him."
After Long San finished speaking, the huge phantom of his head dissipated.
Countless cone-shaped needles constantly pierced through the surface, attacking all Transformers and salt crystal trees that still had neural activity.
However, he deliberately avoided those bugs.
At the same time, a large number of cone-shaped needles flew out from the stele entrance opened by Long San.
The number of these cone-shaped needles increased, gathering together like an extremely thick metal dust storm.
Their impact was strong, and the salt crystal forest was full of fragments wherever they swept, a complete mess.
However, the salt crystal forest was similar to the Transformers in this regard, and they were not afraid of being crushed.
The crushed salt crystal particles could still be assimilated into new salt crystal trees as raw materials.
The difference was that the assimilation cost of the salt crystal forest was lower and the assimilation efficiency was higher. Moreover, their vitality was very strong, and it would be extremely difficult to completely destroy them.
As long as there was still a piece of salt crystal with neural activity, a large area would grow back in a very short time.
Therefore, after Long San's cone-shaped needle metal storm swept through, a new forest would immediately grow back.
This is called: Wildfires can't burn them all, spring breeze brings them back to life.
Under the confrontation between the two sides, the overall temperature of the surface of Sirius was still steadily decreasing. It was just that the salt crystal forest developed slowly, and the rate of temperature decrease was really slow.
"Dongfang Chen Er, guess what I discovered?" Mengka said.
"Discovered what?"
Mengka was in charge of the situation on the Blue Star side.
It seemed that there was something new happening on the Blue Star side.
"Those bugs that invaded Blue Star have some connection with us," Mengka said with a smile.
"Have a connection? What connection?" Dongfang Chen Er's first reaction was genes. Because humans and insects have similar gene segments.
From this point of view, there is a connection between all carbon-based organisms.
It's just that this connection is distant or close, much or little.
"Guess?" Mengka smiled mysteriously.
"Are you talking about genes?" Dongfang Chen Er asked back.
"...That's no fun, you guessed it right away!" Mengka pouted and said unhappily.
"What kind of discovery is this? The operating mechanisms of carbon-based organisms are the same, and they are heavily dependent on ribose substances and amino acid substances. So, what's so strange about having the same or similar segments in genes?" Dongfang Chen Er explained.
"Hahaha, is that what you mean!" Mengka's eyes lit up again after hearing his explanation.
"Otherwise?"
"Hahaha~" Mengka continued to laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Nonsense."
"Hahaha~, you guessed wrong!" Mengka said triumphantly.
"Guessed wrong?" Dongfang Chen Er was a little surprised.
Could it be that there is still some connection between human genes and insect genes?
He put the focus of his thinking in the wrong place.
So after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. So he asked:
"Then what did you discover?"
"I'll tell you..." Mengka walked up to Dongfang Chen Er and whispered in his ear.
"Really?" Dongfang Chen Er's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Really!" Mengka said extremely certainly.
"Are they all like this?"
"I conducted 200 samples, and the consistency rate is 99.5%," Mengka replied.
"In that case, there is an article to be made," Dongfang Chen Er said, stroking his chin.
"What are you guys talking about?" Nata listened for a long time but didn't understand.
"Go away, it's none of your business!" Mengka glanced at him, not letting him interrupt.
Now Nata and Mengka's neural networks are independent, and Nata can't directly read Mengka's consciousness anymore.
So besides watching, he could only watch.
"Tch, what's so great about it, don't tell me!" Nata said unhappily.
Although he didn't ask, he was even more curious.
Mengka ignored him and asked:
"Then what to do next?"
"Do nothing, just wait," Dongfang Chen Er replied.
"Okay!" Mengka nodded.
Three days later.
Blue Star Calendar, November 14, 2099.
The insectoid mechs on Blue Star made a move.
They gathered in the central Pacific Ocean and activated a hollow cylindrical space shield with a diameter of 1 kilometer.
What is a hollow cylindrical space shield?
In fact, the shape is like a steel pipe.
The cylindrical steel pipe has a wall thickness, and there are two concentric cylindrical surfaces inside and outside.
And this hollow cylindrical space shield is essentially a special-shaped space shield surrounded by two concentric cylindrical surfaces.
