The weather was gray and overcast, and visibility was pitifully low.
The huge confinement Transformer stood in the center of the ground, its sky-eye radar radiating, observing, or being observed. Surrounding him were densely packed and layered tall rock pillars. At the top of each stone pillar, there was a yellow ball of light that was as thick as the rock pillar.
Looking carefully, the yellow light ball seems to be made of sand and seems to be constantly squirming.
As for the rock pillars, they are composed of flax-colored minerals. It is difficult to say whether they are metallic minerals or not. It has the appearance of crystal ore and does not show the appearance of metal, but the active wave and fire energy radiated are still strong.
This is definitely a life.
"What kind of life is it?" Shen Cong did not move, nor did he take the initiative to initiate emotional communication, because he still did not know whether these rock pillars were intelligent.
They do create hostility, but this hostility is less of an emotion and more like repulsion.
Exclusions of a different nature.
"There is a sense of repulsion between like poles of magnets. It is not a subjective repulsion, but the essence." Shen Cong didn't move, and neither did the rock pillars. The two sides stood silently, "With so many rock pillars, without them... When they were extended, I had no idea they were alive."
When Shen Cong stepped into this glazed land, he did not find anything unusual.
His current perception ability is far beyond that of the past. It is at the level of planetary cosmic fire. It stands to reason that ordinary living objects cannot escape his perception.
"And there is another question. Are these rock pillars separate entities, or are they integrated as a whole?"
The glass-like surface underfoot is similar to the crystal-like material of the rock pillars, like the lower-grade, turbid, and impermeable crystals.
time flies.
The policy of being immovable until the enemy is immovable has been rejected by Shen Cong after he continued to lose his patience. Seeing that the night with the Te Ceti planet was coming, Shen Cong decided to take the initiative.
Bang!
He took a step towards the rock pillar closest to him.
This movement was like the first card of a domino being toppled, and the entire endless forest of rock pillars, all the rock pillars, trembled in an instant, making a harsh and trembling sound. These vibrato frequencies are close to each other and resonate rapidly, causing the air to tremble in shock waves visible to the naked eye.
These shock waves contact the surface of the confinement, are bounced off, and emit a sharper sound similar to an air defense siren.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
The world was filled with sirens, noisy and harsh, which made Shen Cong very tired of hearing them. So he suddenly stretched out his mechanical arm, opened his palm, grabbed a rock pillar, and pulled hard, trying to break the rock pillar and sample it.
Snap!
The rock pillar broke immediately and was not as strong as expected.
The broken rock pillar did not attract Shen Cong. What attracted Shen Cong was the yellow ball of light at the top. He took off the yellow ball of light and held it in his hand, preparing to analyze and study it carefully.
The yellow ball of light suddenly exploded, and a magma-like substance ejected from the crack, directly spraying on Shen Cong's confinement-shaped abdomen.
The hot magma material carries a high temperature of more than 1,500 degrees.
Trying to fuse Shen Cong's armor.
But this was in vain, there was no need to use virtualization methods, and the magma material could not break Shen Cong's defense. The yellow ball of light that ejected the magma material quickly withered and lost its activity. All its activity and fire energy are in the continuously dripping magma material.
"Interesting, the inside of the yellow light ball is filled with magma, and there is active activity and fire energy in the magma. If the information I briefly captured is correct, the fire energy is inside the magma and seems to be evolving into a living body... This is somewhat similar to the spirit of fire. of gestation.”
The fire spirit on the earth is the original metal life created by the combination of super eight-knot gold and magma.
There is a yellow ball of light on the top of the rock pillar here. I don’t know what happened. This kind of pregnancy seems not to be successful, but instead gave birth to a strange individual like the rock pillar.
"So where does the magma come from?"
As soon as Shen Cong's idea came up, Sky Eye Radar had already discovered where the magma came from. The broken part of the rock pillar that he broke became inactive and died, while the remaining half of the rock pillar continued to squirm and rise, and in a moment it grew into a complete rock pillar.
This time the yellow light ball at the top did not appear in time.
Rather, there is a very obvious gestation process.
There is magma material extracted from the ground by the rock pillar, sent to the top of the rock pillar, and then a yellow light ball is blown out like a balloon.
"The magma comes from underground."
So here comes the question. Shen Cong looked at the peaceful rock pillar forest and thought: "Is this model a kind of life? Are the yellow light balls and rock pillars considered living entities? Or is it magma material? Is it real life? But this life can be replenished, so what does that count?”
The operating principle of the rock pillar has broken Shen Cong's understanding.
He decided to put his thoughts on hold for the time being, and then redefine the "alien creature" discovered this time after observing the details. So the huge Transformer was imprisoned, a sickle extended from his right hand, and began to continuously harvest rock pillars and yellow light balls, constantly stimulating the yellow light balls to eject magma material.
They don't rest even when it gets dark.
Harvest one harvest at a time, and get a short observation time at a time to pry into the secrets of magmatic materials.
Finally, after dozens of times, he figured out the general information about the magma material.
"It's very interesting. As expected, the rock pillars and yellow light balls are just like vehicles. Because they are non-metallic minerals and lack metal elements, they cannot be activated. They can only activate the metal elements in them. There are too few metal elements to activate them. It moves the crystal structure, but the high temperature of the magma can melt non-metallic minerals to achieve the purpose of 'growth'."
That is to say.
The glazed surface under Shen Cong's feet was the same material as the rock pillars and yellow light balls, and had no life. What has life is the trace metal elements contained in it, but such a rare metal cannot meet the conditions for activation.
The same is true for magma materials. The metal content is slightly higher, but it is not enough to fully activate and breed the fire spirit.
But the fire energy in it has still evolved, evolving the magma into very low-level life, so low that the simplest intelligence cannot be formed, and there is only a hunting instinct. This instinct causes magma to gush out from beneath the surface and melt the glazed surface, forming this upward-growing rock pillar.
When Shen Cong didn't move, the rock pillar lost its sense and stopped hunting.
Shen Cong harvested the rock pillars, and the magma material was instantly sensed, and he began to hunt. The method of hunting was very simple, which was to spray magma, and then use the living magma to swallow and infect the prey. After finally swallowing the prey, it then merged into the surface and penetrated into the ground. Underground, back to the nest.
"The magma material is like a bunch of primitive cells running out along the rock pillars. Does this mean that there are a large number of 'primitive cells' gathering under the surface?"
To verify this conclusion, we only need to dig up the surface and find out.
Shen Cong has always been a man of action. He extended his hands with shovels and started working. He made such a loud noise that the surrounding rock pillars trembled, and countless yellow light balls began to spray magma in Shen Cong's direction.
Wow.
Four super-eight-knot gold wings spread out to form a shield covering the sky and the sun, resisting the surrounding magma material ejected. Inside the shield, the confinement-shaped Transformers buried their heads in digging, and soon dug out a huge pit along the root of a rock pillar. At the bottom of the pit, a shining hole was revealed.
"Is this the ascending channel of magmatic material?"
