The rock statue just watched the 10 groups drag its legs away, neither sad nor happy, silent, and as steady as a dead dog.
However, it has no eyes.
That's just the feeling it gives.
Who is that
Where does it come from
Why does it exist
No way of knowing.
After leaving the hemispherical building, Bi Mingzhu found a new tool for Ning Tao, an alloy hammer with a hammer head of at least twenty or thirty pounds.
Ning Tao took the hammer and swung it, hitting the stone's leg hard.
when!
Sparks flew everywhere.
The place where the stone's leg was hit appeared to be a little concave, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, I don't believe I can't smash you!" Ning Tao was stimulated, he picked up the hammer and hit the stone leg again and again.
when!
Dang Dang!
Dang Dang Dang!
There are clusters of sparks and pits, but the stone legs can be restored almost instantly. No matter how Ning Tao smashes it, it can repair itself and remain intact. Not to mention being flattened and smashed, there is not even a piece of stone skin. drop down.
One operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the destructive effect was completely useless.
Ning Tao threw the hammer on the ground and sat down on the stone leg.
But just sitting there, Laosong was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched the ground, then retracted and touched the stone leg.
Bi Mingzhu asked curiously: "Laosong, what are you doing?"
Ning Tao said: "Mingzhu, come and have a try."
Bi Mingzhu said with a smile: "I want to sit on your legs. Those stone legs are so hard that they are nothing to sit on."
Ning Tao stretched out his hand and pulled her over: "Just sit down and try."
Bi Mingzhu then sat down next to Ning Tao.
"Feel it." Ning Tao said.
Bi Mingzhu was stunned for a moment: "It...how is it warm?"
"Yes, how can it be warm?" Ning Tao said, he couldn't understand it either.
When I dragged the stone leg out before, the sensory nerves in my palms were not complex, so the sensation was not obvious. But with my butt sitting on my legs, the nerves in some parts are very developed and sensitive, and I immediately felt that the stone legs were warm.
"Is it alive?" Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "I can't break the rock statue with an axe, and I can't break the leg with a hammer. Maybe I can use fire attack!"
"Then let's try. Anyway, you have firewood with you." Bi Mingzhu said.
Just do it, Ning Tao untied the bundle of firewood on his back, handed the cactus leaves sandwiched in the bundle to Bi Mingzhu, and then drilled the wood to make fire.
A small bonfire burned, and the blazing light dispersed the darkness. But it is only part of the darkness. I don’t know how big this underground base is. Until now, the 10 groups have not seen the edge. Some of the illuminated areas were empty spaces covered with dust, some were piled with decaying instruments and machines, and some weathered debris.
Ning Tao did not observe the surrounding environment carefully. He grabbed the sole of the stone leg and lifted it up, then placed the lower leg of the stone leg on the fire to roast.
Soon, a puff of black smoke rose from the stone legs, accompanied by the smell of roasted meat.
Ning Tao stared straight at the part burned by the fire. Carbon had already appeared in that part.
signs of transformation. Moreover, the burned place has not been restored.
"It works!" Bi Mingzhu said excitedly: "Old Sang, we can burn that stone man to death with fire. I will go nearby to see if there is any oil or anything, and then burn that guy to death!"
"Be careful, don't go too far." Ning Tao warned, he put the stone leg down, looked at the burned place by the firelight, and then fell into deep thought.
It is obviously a stone, but it has the ability to regenerate. It is not afraid of swords and axes, but fire can scorch it. What are the stone man and this leg made of, and who made them
Just as he was thinking about this, the burnt area on the stone leg glowed slightly blue under the light of the fire. It feels like a blue beam of light is shining on the beach, and there is a grain of sand that reflects the blue light.
What it is
Ning Tao was filled with surprise. He squatted down and stared at the blue light with wide eyes, but it was so small that he couldn't see clearly what it was. He reached out to clean up the burnt particles that reflected the blue light. He imagined that it would be difficult and might even be impossible to remove them. After all, he couldn't break it with an ax or a hammer. But this time, his fingers easily picked out the burnt particles.
It was originally just a reflective spot the size of a grain of sand. After the surrounding burnt particles were removed, its area became larger, but it was still buried deep in the calf. I don't know what it was. Ning Tao tried to put a finger in to dig, but the finger was too big and couldn't reach in at all.
He stood up, grabbed the ankle of the stone leg, lifted the stone leg up again, and put it on the bonfire to burn.
Black smoke billowed, and the stench of burning corpses became stronger and stronger. Before long, Stone Leg's calf was ignited and began to burn itself.
In the firelight, there were more and more blue reflective spots, getting bigger and bigger.
Ning Tao stared at it, but he still couldn't see what it was.
Bi Mingzhu walked over and didn't find any oil, but she found a knife, which was about a foot long. It was completely black and reflected the light of the fire. It looked very sharp.
"I didn't find any oil, but I found this knife. I tried it. It can cut a hole in ordinary metal with just one knife. It's very sharp, so I brought it back and I'll keep it for you." Bi Mingzhu said. The alloy knife was handed to Ning Tao, but at this moment she saw something blue in the stone leg that was lit. Her eyes were immediately attracted to it, and she asked curiously: "What is that thing?"
"I don't know. We'll know after the skin is burned off." Ning Tao took the knife from Bi Mingzhu's hand, then reached into the fire and used the blade to scrape off the burnt skin covering the blue thing. particle.
The burnt particles were scraped off, the blade rubbed against the blue thing, and a blue light spot suddenly appeared under the blade.
As more of the charred particles were scraped away, a section of blue leg bone was exposed.
Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu were stunned on the spot.
He always thought it was a stone leg, without flesh and blood, without bones, just a carved leg. However, after the blue leg bone appeared, everything changed, in a mysterious and unknown direction.
"Is it a robot?" Bi Mingzhu broke the silence between the two.
Ning Tao said: "Maybe the stone covering the leg bones is not a stone, but a material we don't know. It has strong protection and self-healing capabilities, and fire is its weakness."
After researching so far, he has finally figured out this thing.
The bush firewood that Ning Tao brought in from the canyon had been burned long ago, but the leg was still burning. Without the green smoke produced when the firewood burns, it is purely black smoke, and the smell of burnt meat is particularly obvious.
Ning Tao kept scraping off the remaining particles on the blue leg bones after being burned, and the blue leg bones and soles were completely revealed. Finally, when he was about to burn off the last part of the end of his thigh, he stamped out the fire with his foot, retaining the last bit of "stone skin".
The alloy knife that Bi Mingzhu found worked again. Ning Tao used the alloy knife to remove the burnt particles one by one, and the cross section of the stone skin was revealed.
That's not some rock, it's really a material I've never seen before. It is divided into several layers. The first layer is a rock-like epidermal layer, the second layer is a strip-like fiber layer, and the third layer is a mesh layer. It is like a mesh wrapped around blue bones, and at the same time it seems Also acts as a neural and vascular network.
Ning Tao has seen a lot of robots and killed a lot of them, but this is the first time he has seen one like this.
"It's really a robot. I've never seen such a robot before. Who created it?" Bi Mingzhu was also surprised and confused.
Ning Tao just smiled bitterly. He also wanted to know the answer to this question.
He squatted down and reached out to touch the blue bones. The blue leg bone looks like it is made of crystal, but it has temperature and feels like a living bone.
Bi Mingzhu also squatted down, squatting opposite Ning Tao, reaching out to touch the blue leg bones, her concentrated expression conveyed a signal to the Son-Sending God opposite, and she was also studying this.
However, Ning Tao's eyes were uncontrollably attracted to her, and he couldn't move away.
In this serious and important moment, Lao Sang was moved inappropriately and inappropriately.
"Laosong, do you think there are still stone robots like this here?" Bi Mingzhu looked up at Ning Tao and asked, only to find that Ning Tao was staring at her, and she also followed Ning Tao's line of sight. He glanced at himself, then raised the corner of his mouth, "I'm talking to you, please be more serious, now is not the time to tell stories."
Ning Tao looked away this time and coughed awkwardly: "The situation we are facing now is very simple. If we want to study that machine, we must kill the stone robot guarding the machine. But we have no oil. If we use firewood Absolutely not, so our first priority is to find the oil.”
"But I've searched everywhere around us, and there's nothing there." Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao said: "This is a big base. We can find axes, hammers, and knives, and we can definitely find oil. In addition, I think we should look in the direction we came from."
"You mean to go under the apple tree?"
Ning Tao nodded: "The machine said that the virtual universe weaved was sent in that direction. I suspect that the tree is the end point. We should go and have a look. We may not find anything."
"Well, let's leave now." Bi Mingzhu stood up.
Ning Tao grabbed the blue leg bone and stood up. The leg bone lost three layers of peripheral tissue and lost a lot of weight. Together with the remaining "stone skin" at the end of the thigh, the weight is estimated to be between twenty kilograms, which is just right. Use it as a warhammer.
The two set off again, walking towards the apple tree.
