Interstellar: Start as a cleaner
Chapter 198 Strangeness in the Inland (First Update)
Due to the unique geographical environment and climate environment of the continent on March Star, most of the plants here are of the bare stem type, with leaves that are also needle-shaped.
Coastal areas have a strong wind season for half a year every year, and large leaves cannot survive at all. Of course, there are also plants with large leaves, but the leaves are all crawling on the ground.
Anyway, when you look at it with the naked eye, it looks like they are just tree trunks with no leaves.
The inland area is the arid Gobi Desert, where many things similar to cacti grow. However, these cacti are as big as a car, with a diameter of seven or eight meters and a height of five or six meters.
There are many reptiles living on this cactus. Because the strong wind season is coming, many debris blown up will be nailed by the thorns of this cactus. Then, over time, a layer of covering is formed on the surface of these cactus.
Every giant cactus has a world of reptiles inside, including ants, but these ants have the poisonous stings of wasps on earth at their tails.
There is also a kind of beetle. The beetle is about the size of a fist and has two large black pincers. Yang Bo drools at the sight of it.
"I wonder if these big pliers taste delicious?" This big black beetle also has spikes on its back.
It was pretty good in the Red Rock Mountains. There were clouds and fog in the canyon over there in the morning. Yang Bo used anti-gravity to fly very fast and passed through the 500-kilometer-wide Red Rock Mountains in half a day. This was because the canyons were not connected.
The clouds and fog in this red stone mountain range also interfere with detection.
When we come to the endless Gobi, there is nothing we can do in the Gobi. There is not even a single cloud in the Gobi and it is difficult to hide.
Yang Bo came here invisible and looked at the surrounding environment. This is where the gerbils live.
However, gerbils are nocturnal, so Yang Bo decided to take a look around first.
After carefully observing the beetle for two minutes, I found that the beetle had no energy.
Yang Bo found that he could see the energy changes of objects, but he didn't know which super power was affecting it, or whether it was due to his own physical constitution.
After letting go of the big black beetle, Yang Bo took a closer look. It was a lizard more than ten centimeters long. The entire lizard was black and yellow, and its body had spikes similar to those of stone fish on Earth.
Normally, the spikes on this guy's body are flat. Once there is any disturbance, they will stand up immediately, and transparent venom can be seen secreting from the spikes.
"There is no energy fluctuation." After looking carefully, there is still no energy fluctuation.
Yang Bo came here with a sense of luck this time. After all, there are mutated creatures in the sea. I don't know if there are any in this inland area.
The Gobi desert looked extremely desolate during the day, and Yang Bo observed many reptiles near a cactus.
There are also some shrubs here, but they look like camel grass crawling on the ground. The whole thing looks like a shrub without leaves, but it is covered with thorns.
The shrubs are one or two meters high, and the short ones are dozens of centimeters. Even this shrub has red and white morning glory-like flowers.
Finally, when night came, Yang Bo found that the Gobi was becoming lively. A black snake crawled out from nowhere and wandered around the Gobi.
A pangolin-like creature emerged from a piece of sand, shook its little head twice, and then came out in a group of two or three.
"Hey, there are actually weak energy fluctuations?" Yang Bo saw that these unknown creatures, which were smaller than pangolins on Earth, actually had a faint energy in their bodies. Although it was very weak, they still had energy.
Yang Bo didn't believe it, so he took a closer look and found that there were 11 such small animals in this group. Only three of them had faint energy fluctuations, and the rest did not.
Yang Bo was not surprised at all, because in Tieniu's tribe, there were rhinos of all levels. Tieniu and his brother were the two highest level, and some were ordinary rhinos.
"It feels like human society. After birth, some have high talents and some have low talents. So what affects these talents? Is it genes or something else?" Yang Bo observed carefully for a while, and he also had some doubts in his heart.
The fat boss once said that his parents are advanced genetic evolvers, but their children have no talent at all.
Some children whose parents are not gifted have good talents, which is why there are still birth factories in society today.
Some children born from the combination of sperm and eggs of the same parents have completely different talents.
"I don't understand!" Yang Bo thought about the meaning of life for a moment and then put the idea aside.
Yang Bo came under a piece of stone. There was a big stone here because the wind often blew on one side, so a large area was suspended under the big stone.
Yang Bo chose this environment because he was also preparing to conduct an experiment. Yesterday, he heated Tieniu's saliva and turned it from transparent to red.
Is this red poisonous, or does it have other effects? Yang Bo is going to use the animals here to test it.
Yang Bo came under this big rock to avoid the detection of satellites in the sky.
These animals that are suspected to be pangolins actually eat those beetles. A dozen of these animals are running back and forth in the Gobi, chasing each beetle.
These animals, suspected to be pangolins, dug hard into the soil and submerged the beetles with sand. While the beetles were struggling in the sand, they went up and pressed them with their claws, then bit off one of the pincers in one bite and ate them.
The scorpion-like stinger on the beetle's tail has no way of penetrating the scales on the claws of this pangolin-like animal.
A beetle arrived under the stone, looked at the pangolins chasing after it, and raised two large pincers, which made a clicking sound.
Two large pincers were clamping quickly, and this animal, which was suspected to be a pangolin, looked at the large beetle and stretched out its claws, then dug into the soil and hit the beetle.
Then the next second, the pangolin seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. Then a box on the stone wall on the side of the stone opened, and a silver needle appeared. This needle floated to the pangolin and pricked it with one needle. Go down.
This is Yang Bo's invisible state, conducting experiments on this little animal.
Because Yang Bo did not use other abilities this time, but only used his own power, the invisibility state was not lifted.
Inside the needle is a trace amount of red liquid, which is injected into the little animal's body.
Seeing this strange scene, the big beetle waved its pincers and ran away while retreating.
After the small animal was injected with the red liquid, after a few seconds, the entire small animal's body began to swell, and the color of the scales on its body also deepened, and the strength of the body seemed to increase, as it struggled crazily.
Other small animals in the distance saw this scene and stood watching from a distance.
"Is it mutated?" Yang Bo was confused, but after a closer look, he didn't see any energy fluctuations.
Energy particles can be seen in the field of vision. This ability seems to be a passive ability. You can see energy particles without using your own energy.
A minute later, the little animal was completely lifeless, with blood flowing out of its mouth and nose.
"Violent? Or is the energy too strong?" Yang Bo, who was invisible, was also a little surprised to see this result.
"It seems that this red liquid is somewhat dangerous, but I don't know much about biological research, and I don't have any observation equipment."
"There is no such small animal. Comparison of various data before and after." Yang Bo is not going to test it anymore. The main purpose of testing it this time is to see if it is poisonous.
Now it doesn't look like poisoning, but rather like a state of madness, or the feeling of being driven out of reason by energy.
Yang Bo's body was revealed, and his hands released powerful electric energy, roasting the little animal directly into charcoal.
Because Yang Bo is not sure if the body of this little animal is placed here, will it be eaten by other animals and cause unnecessary trouble?
Yang Bo took another look at the several boxes placed on the stone wall. One of them prepared the syringe just now and put the syringe back. The other boxes were prepared to contain the gerbils.
Just now Yang Bo's body was revealed, and all the small animals around him ran away, but these small animals observed this two-legged monster from a distance.
Yang Bo walked along the stone and found traces of gerbils in the distance.
Gerbils are very timid by nature, so they live in relatively open areas.
A gerbil looks a bit like an enlarged version of a pika, but this little thing has sharp claws and can dig very quickly.
Yang Bo still likes this relatively normal little animal.
A few gerbils were nibbling at the bark of a thorny shrub.
The food of gerbils mainly depends on rainfall during strong wind seasons, and the entire Gobi will appear green.
The arrival of the strong wind season will bring a small amount of rain. This small amount of rain will give birth to many plants. The life of these plants is very short, the shortest only five or six days, from germination to flowering and bearing fruit.
The longest one is one or two months, especially the shrubs full of thorns, which have many seeds and are very small.
The gerbils are turning around on the stones on the Gobi. Because the temperature is very low at night, some of these stones will condense into very small water droplets. The gerbils rely on these water droplets to survive this difficult dry season.
The two gerbils smelled a different smell. As soon as they walked over, they were suddenly grabbed by invisible forces. The two little things let out a piercing scream. When the gerbils in other places heard this sound, they were immediately carried away. A puff of smoke rushed into his lair.
"There is actually a male, and I took it home for experiments." Yang Bo, who was invisible, looked at the gender of the two gerbils.
The two gerbils screamed like this and were thrown into the two boxes under the big rocks.
Looking at the other gerbils running away, Yang Bo was a little speechless.
After waiting for more than two hours, as soon as the two gerbils poked their heads out and came out from another exit, an invisible force grabbed their heads and carried them away.
This time, the gerbil couldn't scream after his head was pinched.
The gerbil inside the nest came out thinking it was safe outside.
After a while, two more heads were imprisoned by invisible forces, moved under the big rock, and stuffed into two boxes according to gender.
"This one looks like it has a cub, let's release it." The third time, Yang Bo looked at the belly of a gerbil, which seemed to be nursing, and let it go.
"Let's go back. This Gobi desert is too conspicuous. Let's go back to the Red Rock Mountains to see if there is anything good." Seven gerbils were caught, four of them female and three male.
Yang Bo also collected some plants from this place, mainly because he was afraid that it would be difficult to raise gerbils after they entered the house.
After all, plants in semi-arid areas contain very little water. If you feed vegetables and fruits to humans rashly, it may cause these little things to have abnormal reactions.
The mecha was released, and then Yang Bo put the prepared box into the mecha's storage box, and then put the mecha away.
I walked back incognito. This place is about 600 kilometers away from home. You can see the Red Rock Mountains in the distance.
In the invisible state, Yang Bo just can't use other super powers, he can use them passively.
In less than an hour, Yang Bo arrived at the Hongshi Mountains. The mountains in the Hongshi Mountains are very distinctive. One side is smooth, and the other side is covered with lush green shrubs and trees.
The smooth side is the side facing the sea. When the strong wind comes, the wind blows from this side, and everything is made of hard red stones.
And because the mountains in the Red Rock Mountains are relatively high, there are streams and water.
There are more than 1,900 species of animals and plants in the Red Rock Mountains, including more than 600 species of plants, and the rest are animals, including reptiles.
There are more than 60 kinds of fungi in plants, and Yang Bo came here specifically for fungi.
Because when Yang Bo read the introduction on the official website, some fungi looked delicious.
Yang Bo didn't search carefully in the Red Rock Mountains when he came here. Now that the task is completed, he went back to study some weird things.
Soon in the valley at the foot of the mountain, Yang Bo discovered a fungus. This fungus was like a piece of dough, dark brown in color, crawling on the ground.
The large one has a diameter of half a meter, the small one has a diameter of more than ten centimeters, or even several centimeters.
The same thing about this dough is its surface part, and there are spherical roots underneath.
After Yang Bo showed up, he snapped his fingers first. If there was nothing unusual around him, he started digging.
Because the other side of the mountain is blown by strong winds every year, countless dust falls on the back of the mountain. Therefore, during the strong wind season every year, the surface of this fungus will be covered with dust and then rot. After the strong wind season, it will grow from the bulbous rhizomes below. grow new ones.
"It actually has a touch of energy?" Yang Bo dug a full 50 centimeters deep and saw an irregular rhizome as big as a football. What surprised Yang Bo was that this spherical root actually had a touch of energy.
"I really just want to dig it back and eat it." Yang Bo really didn't expect such an accident.
"Why didn't March Star's official website introduce that this fungus contains energy? Or is it because the existing methods can't detect it? Or maybe I'm so special?" Yang Bo was a little confused.
"I don't know if the land in Hongshi Mountain is for sale." Yang Bo quickly thought of another possibility, that is, there might be an energy mine underneath this place.
