Chapter 1058 Weird Partner
Silicon-based people are similar to Transformers. Rather than silicon-based life forms, they are more like mechanical life forms.
On the surface, silicon-based people have a lot in common with golems, more like magic mechas shrunk to human size, but silicon-based people actually have nothing to do with either.
The biggest feature of silicon-based people is assimilation. If a part of a hand or foot is amputated due to an accident, silicon-based people can use metal to turn it into their own new hand or foot. 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 he looks on the surface. In addition to the softness of flesh and blood that can be felt at the fingertips, you can even feel the body temperature of silicon-based people.
Yes, they are actually thermostatic.
If you want to completely kill a silicon-based person, the easiest way is to destroy the heart hidden in the chest cavity, otherwise in a place like a ship full of metal, he is likely to regenerate infinitely.
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 in the void for more than an hour, they will die completely.
Another crystal person is also different from ordinary mortal races.
The appearance of crystal people is very similar to earth elemental descendants, especially the hair looks like a whole piece of gem or mineral, but the difference is that the skin of crystal people shows gem-like reflection.
Although they look like humans, in fact, in terms of kinship, crystal people are actually closer to silicon crystal people like Long.
Crystal people also have assimilation characteristics and can absorb minerals for regeneration. The touch feels similar to flesh and blood, and even the weight is similar.
But unlike silicon crystal people who have fully adapted to the void environment, crystal people cannot survive in the void either. They are also warm-blooded 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 over the minerals of resource galaxies. It was not until more and more races entered the void era that the war between them eased and gradually integrated into the void family.
To say that they are rare, they are indeed not as common as humans, but if you want to find them, you can still find some on the colony satellites.
The main relationship between these two races is similar to that between elves and dwarves. They all dislike each other. If a crystal person takes the elevator, the silicon-based people will never be with the crystal person even if they take the stairs, and vice versa.
The situation of traveling together on a high-speed commercial ship like this is even rarer.
Facing Alyssa's question, the crystal man and the silicon-based man looked at each other, and the former kept his hands raised and said:
"Although there are some unpleasant things between our races, it has nothing to do with us."
"Just think of me as being too nosy. Then, do you have any materials to prove your identity?"
"We have an ID card issued by the Kingdom of Beso and a temporary residence permit issued by the Swirl Water Federation, which is in a suitcase in the escape pod."
"I need to verify it."
Seeing Alyssa's determination, the crystal man slowly retreated back to the escape pod and soon came out with another suitcase.
She tried her best to show all her movements in front of Alyssa, and tried to open the suitcase at a normal speed, so as not to attract suspicion and cause a concentrated fire.
Soon, she took out several documents that looked like ID cards from the interlayer on one side of the suitcase, and threw them casually. In the zero-gravity hangar, they soon floated in front of Alyssa.
The crystal man's name is Emma, and the silicon-based man's name is Kong Lin. The ID cards all say female, and they look real, not fake certificates made with money.
Alyssa confirmed the certificate, signaled Hall and Sophia to put down their guns, and threw the certificate back.
"Why did you take a high-speed commercial ship to the Dark Star Region?"
"We had urgent matters, 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 Swirlwater Federation."
This guy lied.
Even after modification, the high-speed commercial ship can only jump 3~5 yars at most. After all, it is just a civilian ship used in the galaxy, and it is not even as far as the Manta Ray.
There is indeed a colony satellite called Ohm 17 yars away, but there is almost no place to stop along the way. With its weapons, it is very dangerous to operate alone in the Dark Star Region. No matter how lucky it is, it is unlikely that a high-speed commercial ship will come from such a far place.
Moreover, Alyssa recalled the star map. There should be several resource satellites within the range of the high-speed commercial ship. It is also normal for pirates to be active in this area. Their main goal is to transport minerals from resource satellites.
There must be something marked on the star map of the high-speed commercial ship. They must know that pirates often appear in this area, but they still dare to come. This cannot be explained by simply being anxious.
No matter how urgent the matter is, it will not be more important than your own life. This guy is probably avoiding the important.
"Miss Emma, what are you doing in the capital of the Xuanshui Federation?"
"A little business matter, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Who do you work for?"
"Galaxy Trading Company, we are going to discuss cooperation this time."
"Why don't you turn on the distress signal?"
"Our escape capsule is sealed. 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 Beso Kingdom, who still had urgent matters, went to the capital of the Spinning Water Federation, claiming to be negotiating business. Even if 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.
