Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 364: Silver forest

The industry's demand for minerals is obvious to all. The iron ore consumed by the Tulip Duke every year is basically an astronomical number. The explosives have been blasted into basins for several years. It is conceivable how fast the consumption of metals is.

Although the Sun Moon Continent is not as exaggerated as the Duke's collar, they have used a lot of rare metals for a longer time. As long as you know a little bit, the metal will soon be insufficient at such a rate of consumption, and it will last for tens of thousands of years.

"Wait! Did you overlook a problem?" Although Meng Shu is amused, his mind is still very flexible: "If the endless supply of metals in the Sun and Moon Continent is derived from these metal plants, then these metal plants Where did it come from?

Metal elements are not born out of thin air. These plants absorb trace metals in the soil at most. It is theoretically impossible to grow so large, unless every plant here masters the technology of heavy element fusion, which can convert the hydrogen in the water into The elements they need. "

Meng Shu’s question is at the point. If the plants here will fusion of heavy elements, then how far they can go!

According to Chengying’s re-calculation, the element content in the crust of Douluo star is still arranged in the form of oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, potassium, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Although there is a lot of iron, the content of iron in ordinary soil is minimal. These plants can I am afraid that the iron content of the magnet will not be low, even if more of the internal structure is silicon, it is not what can be grown out of conventional terrain.

The reason why metals are consumed is due to rust. The crushed metals are difficult to be collected and smelted again. The iron content in the soil is about 2% to 3%. Humans have almost nothing to do with this part of iron. The extraction and utilization are not enough to grow plants with metal as the main element.

"There is another possibility, but we have to walk around there and see if you can smell the subtle sulfur smell in the air." After Tang Chen collected a metal plant with a soil sample intact, he stopped observing it. These plants.

"Sulfur? You mean volcanoes?" Jian Hongchen frowned and said, "So, there are indeed many volcanoes around some cities in this area. The strangest thing is that this is not the junction of plates, but the continent. In the center, there are a lot of volcanoes. I didn’t feel it before, but it’s really weird to think about it now."

"That's right!" Posessi clapped his hands: "The asthenosphere is rich in silica and many metal oxides. Below the landforms, the metal content is even more exaggerated. If there are active volcanoes nearby, it can be Explain the cause of this strange ecosystem."

"Go! Let's explore inside!" Tang Chen took out a seven-seater off-road vehicle from the storage watch. The large tires of a tractor ensure that it can conquer almost any terrain.

"Get in the car!" Po Saixi patted the car horn, driving a vehicle or something, she still has the strongest technology. Several people rely on their strength and are not afraid of being attacked by spirit beasts, so they turned on the car audio.

"Running with the wind is the direction, chasing the power of thunder and lightning~" Rui Wenwen's familiar voice made Tang Chen roll his eyes, thinking that when he was making a clockwork, Chengying also sang this song. But how can the same song be so different?

There is no road on the purple-black ground. Fortunately, the tires are big, the chassis is high, and the horsepower is also full.

As an ecosystem, the possibility of only producers is very small, and consumers are mostly aggressive. The arrogant driving of the car naturally attracted some unintended attention.

The faint wildfire-like light stared at the car, and the metal shell on the car had a fatal attraction to certain creatures.

As night fell, the range that the car lights could illuminate became smaller and smaller, and everyone soon felt the aura of uninvited guests.

The creaking metal rubbing sounded, and a hexapod creature crawling on the ground appeared in the range of the car lights. They looked like insects, but they were not all the same. There was no distinction between head, chest and abdomen. The size of the washbasin.

Wherever they passed, the metal plants were eaten up, leaving only the backbone of the silicate skeleton. The pure metal on the off-road vehicle was very attractive to them. At this time, dozens of similar things were turning the car. Surrounded.

"What a big bug, it's not a soul beast, it's interesting!" Yu Xikong snapped his fingers across the car, this time it was still an EMP shock.

Since the worm is metal, the electromagnetic pulse should be able to cause some damage to its body.

The insects surrounding the car were indeed affected by electromagnetic pulses. Although they were not dead, they uttered a sharp chirping sound, and then bit their companions as if they were demented.

"Shall we go or not?" Poseyxi hung her feet on the throttle. These bugs were almost no threat to them, so she actually wanted to stay and observe.

"Let's observe first!" Tang Chen waved his hand to alert everyone, and then got out of the car to observe.

"this……"

Jumping out of the car, everyone saw a strange scene. The body of the bitten bug had a mechanical structure similar to a crank connecting rod. The topology of the overall skeleton was also different from the mainstream of carbon-based organisms.

Take human bones as an example. Human bones are closer to trees in topology than rings. They all have the spine as a backbone, which seems to be extending.

But those bugs did the opposite. The bones of the body extend in a ring around the outline of the body, which is strange.

The strange thing is not the functionality of the bones. In fact, the support structure of this form is more stable, but the problem is that it is difficult for this form of life to develop a nerve center~www.NovelMTL.com~grid-like The bones of, often also mean a grid-like nervous system, which is a strange creature like a starfish.

Without a nerve center, it means there is no brain. From the remains of these bugs, it is not difficult to see that they do have no brains, but judging from their initial behavior patterns, their intelligence should be quite good.

The grid-like neural structure actually has a bilaterally symmetrical body structure. There is no clear nerve center, but it has not low intelligence. How to look at it, this species also belongs to the type that frees itself on the path of evolution.

"Should we kill them all, or grab a few live samples?" Chao Tianxiang stared at the metal bugs that killed each other, and suddenly said, "Do you think they will have a stable Social Structure?"

Chao Tianxiang's words awakened the dreamer, and Bo Saixi immediately grabbed Meng Shu, who was about to grab the specimen, and put the off-road vehicle away and lit it with a flashlight.

"Wait for them to have a few livelihoods, we will follow them!"
