The legend of Tiga

Alien technology, quality.
It’s pretty bad too!

Chiba Cheng searched and knocked for a long time, but couldn't find any instrument that could be started. Of course, it might be due to lack of power. After all, this spacecraft crashed a long time ago. Even if the battery pack was durable, it couldn't have lasted until now.

The attempt to find the experimental records failed. As for the hard drive where the data was stored, there were so many things that it was impossible to tell which one was the real one. The most likely possibility was that none of them was the real one and the data was stored somewhere else.

However, trying to find a data storage room in a spaceship that is comparable in size to a county town and, due to its height, is equivalent to several county towns stacked together, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Anyway, Chiba Makoto didn't even think about trying it, and gave up decisively after searching in vain. He was not a curious scientist who wanted to find out everything. He was just a warrior who knew how to fight, and he wouldn't go to great lengths to get to the bottom of things.

Therefore, Chiba Makoto immediately turned around and looked at Hanaijiro, and asked: "Do you know anything else?"

'Meow, ahh'

Hanajiro lay on Asuka Shin's shoulder and called weakly, which made Asuka Shin feel so distressed that he quickly reached out to stroke him and comfort him with words, trying to encourage this little cutie and cheer him up.

Asuka Shin's words of encouragement were quite effective. With just a few words, Hanajiro actually recovered some strength. Not only did he raise his head, he also floated up in the air, and then floated towards a corner of the room.

Asuka Xin hurriedly followed, not missing a step, for fear that the little cutie would fly away and disappear.

Hanaijiro was seen flying slowly and finally landing in the corner of the room. Then his two big ears stood up, his mouth opened, and he bit a half-dried vine that was curled up in the corner.
Asuka Shin, who arrived closely behind, was shocked by what he saw. Hanajiro was standing on a vine that was almost half his size. Visible streams of light were pouring out from the vine, flowing through Hanajiro's mouth and into his body.

As the light poured in, Hanajiro's big ears gradually lit up, looking like a battery indicator, allowing people to know at a glance how much power is left.

"It it this this this"

Asuka Xin was very surprised. He never expected that such a cute little thing would have such a situation.

Qianye Cheng, who followed, said, "Absorb the root energy derived from the artificial life form."

"what!!!"

Unexpected yet reasonable.

The spacecraft of the aliens who built it crashed long ago, and the power reactor stopped working long ago, so naturally it had no energy anymore. And apart from that strange forest, there seemed to be no other edible plants on the surface of the planet.

After thinking about it, it is true that only the dying artificial life form still has energy left. In addition, Hanajiro is quite controlling of this artificial life form. It is not difficult to get some energy from the artificial life form to maintain survival. It is like picking the weak one.

"No wonder so many vines have dried up. It turns out it's because of it."

Xincheng suddenly realized. When he just walked in, he saw the dryness all over the corridor and didn't know what had happened. Now he finally understood. It turned out that it was the sugarcane residue that it had chewed.

But the efficiency is not very high, it's just in wisps, like cotton threads. Obviously there is not much energy in these vines, and no matter how hard you try, you can't squeeze out a few cups of water.

But Hanajiro was already very satisfied. He sucked hard for a while, and sucked the half-dried vines completely dry. Only then did Hanajiro reluctantly let go. The "battery power" of Big Ears was only a little bit thicker than a coin.

"It's quite tasty." Shinjo smiled as he looked at Hanajiro who was flying again. He took out the half-empty energy magazine and shook it, saying, "Can you eat this?"

"How is this possible?" Before Asuka Shin had finished his words, Hanajiro turned his head, and his big ears lit up. Then streams of energy flew out of the energy magazine and entered his mouth, causing the 'charge' of his big ears to begin to rise at a slow speed visible to the naked eye.

"It really works." Yumimura Ryo was indeed a little surprised. The energy magazine contained highly compressed high-purity energy, which was equivalent to the compressed biscuits in compressed cookies. It had almost reached the degree of solidification. As a result, this little thing could still chew it, and chew it with relish. It must have been a long time since it last had it eaten.

Oh, it is true that it hasn't eaten for a long time. After all, the alien who created it has long been dead, and no one has taken care of it since then. No wonder Asuka Shin is so friendly and clingy. It seems that he has had enough of the wandering life and wants to find a high-quality long-term meal ticket for himself.

Looking at Asuka Shin's distressed face, if they weren't here, I'm afraid all the energy would have been fed to Hanajiro.

As expected, living things have the most sensitive senses, especially when it comes to survival, they are even more sensitive like radar. Look at Hanajiro, he discovered the person who loves him the most and pampers him the most at a glance.

After Hanajiro had sucked the energy magazine clean, he reluctantly gave up and regained his previous vitality. Not only did he fly around in circles, but he also kept meowing.

"Great, it's full of energy again." Asuka Shin grinned foolishly below, his eyes following Hanajiro closely, never leaving his eyes, as if he was afraid that the little thing would fly away if he blinked.

As it was flying, Hanajiro landed, attracting everyone's attention. Then, Hanajiro raised its front paws and pressed them on the small box. Then its paws lit up, as if it was channeling energy into the small box, making the small box light up and projecting a picture in the air.

“@@*&@#%@#……@……&”

"???"

A series of gibberish words came out of the small box, and a picture also appeared in the illuminated air. It was a strange-looking alien with a dark blue body, but his limbs and face were mostly rough, like old tree bark, full of wrinkles. There were three cracks on his forehead, which glowed slightly, and looked like pink tender flesh.

"What language is this?" Asuka Shin was quite puzzled as he could not understand a word of what was being said.

"It seems that we can only bring it back to Earth and use the universal language translator." Shinjo thought of the universal language translator invented by Horii. Unlike past translations, which required arranging and combining scattered words and sentences in different languages, it also required standing at the overall perspective, considering the tone and context, and analyzing within the framework of the logical structure.

Horii's invention is a different approach, advocating that we should not only pay attention to the logic between languages, but also take into account the various subtle differences and changes in the physiology and psychology of the speakers, that is, the "charm" of the language.

The key is that he not only stated his requirements and raised questions, but also took action to solve the "Party A's needs". After some efforts, he came up with a translation device that can do simultaneous interpretation. The effect was unexpectedly good during the initial test. Not only can it translate any language on Earth, but as long as there is enough data, it can also communicate with humanoid creatures with higher intelligence, such as chimpanzees. After Horii's subsequent improvements, it can even communicate with aliens and even monsters.

The most outrageous thing is that even if the language is not in the database, it can rely on powerful logical reasoning ability and the assistance of supercomputers to perform speculative translation and analysis, so that people can roughly understand its meaning. This function is simply too amazing. It is precisely because of this invention that goes beyond the norm that Horii stood out from a group of competitors and was selected to join the G agency.

Today, Horii's translation machine has been applied in many fields. Just the licensing and patent fees have made Horii's hands cramp, which is also a major reason for him to cooperate with PWI.

What PWI values ​​is not only the scientific research department behind Horii, but also the fact that Horii himself owns a large number of patents. Cooperation with him can achieve a win-win situation.

So, when Shinjo saw the strange language recorded in Gollum, the first person he thought of was Horii.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the language in the small box suddenly changed to words they could understand: "Failed again, the amoeba's genes have taken effect, it is still mutating and evolving, and has generated spores for infection. We must speed up the process."

"The 1,235th experiment has achieved certain results. The first phase of the vaccine has been distributed. I hope it will be useful."

"Failure, failure, and failure again. The amoeba gene should not have been added. It adapts to the environment too quickly."

"The 5,382nd experiment, maybe you should consider it."

There were no more words following the sigh. From the tone alone, one could feel the deep sense of frustration and even despair.

Come to think of it, they have conducted more than 5,000 experiments but have achieved almost no results. Moreover, at this critical moment of life and death, you can imagine how great the pressure is.

Sure enough, the alien who appeared later exuded a decadent atmosphere. He seemed to have given up on himself. Even the VLOG he recorded personally seemed to be a perfunctory one. He just said a few words and then closed it. It was obvious that he was not in the mood and was too lazy to even deal with it.

But his attitude suddenly changed. He sat in front of the camera with great seriousness and said worriedly in a low voice: "The only thing that can deal with monsters is monsters. Fighting poison with poison, won't you be poisoned to death faster?"

The alien in front of the camera was silent for a long time before saying: "But there is no other way——"

With a long sigh, the alien who was suspected to be Hanajiro's creator raised his hand and turned off the camera. He probably went to think or just go to work.

The black screen lasted for a second before switching to the next video. The alien in front of the camera looked very high-spirited and said excitedly, "It succeeded, it succeeded, it worked, it can restrain that out-of-control guy. It turns out that the plant type is more tenacious than the animal type, and it is not as aggressive as the animal type."

"???"

Everyone was stunned by these words, and their eyes involuntarily shifted from the screen in the air to Hanajiro, making Hanajiro tilt his head, not understanding why everyone was looking at it.

Is this guy a plant type?
It doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it?
You can't say it eats grass, right?
But the alien's subsequent words dispelled everyone's doubts, because the alien said excitedly that "large-scale planting would be carried out" to compete for the guy's living space, seize its reproductive resources, and ultimately kill it.

The case has been solved. It was definitely not Hanajiro. After all, given Hanajiro's condition, the word "planted" should not be used to describe him.

In other words, what this group of aliens created is some kind of plant.

Ok?
plant!

"It can't be those vines?"

Yumimura Ryo immediately thought of the vines he had seen many times along the way. These were really plants, and they were everywhere. They really took up a lot of space, and they reproduced very quickly.

Xin Cheng suddenly realized, "Could it be that these aliens have created another artificial life form to deal with the previous artificial life form?"

"It should be like this." Chiba Makoto thought of something he saw on the road. It looked like a spore, but inside it was filled with vine spores. He just thought it was weird before, but now it seems he has found the reason. This should be the second artificial life form created by those aliens to strangle the first artificial life form that was out of control.

It is indeed very restrained. After all, the first artificial life form obviously relies on spores to expand, and since the vines have penetrated into the spores, they have suppressed the opponent's expansion.

but
Chiba Makoto looked back at the spacious corridor that was full of vines. It was not difficult to imagine that this vine-like artificial life form was most likely out of control and attacked its creator, eventually leading to the extinction of these aliens.

Really are.
All we can say is that the only lesson humanity has learned from history is that humanity will not learn lessons from history. The value of this sentence has been greatly enhanced and can now be applied to aliens.

Just look at this group of aliens and you will know that they really haven’t learned any lessons.

When the first artificial life form went out of control, they wanted to create a second artificial life form to suppress it. When the second artificial life form went out of control, they actually created a third artificial life form, Hanajiro, to suppress it.

Haven’t they ever thought about what they would do if Hanajiro also got out of control? Would they create another one?

What about this nesting doll?
What's more, isn't Hanajiro the third artificial life form?

What if it existed before?

Judging from the fact that this experimenter has conducted thousands of experiments as mentioned earlier, they must have created more than one. After all, selecting the best from the best is a universal principle throughout the universe. So it is really hard to imagine how many artificial life forms this group of aliens have created on this planet, and how many have leaked out?

If everything was normal, the laboratory could be destroyed according to procedures, but the problem is that this place is no longer normal. (End of this chapter)
