It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

There are many of its kind staying on the coast.

They gather together in twos and threes, communicating with each other with the help of tentacles.

It didn't join them, but raised its head silently, and cast its gaze to the sky.

The starry sky is bright.

Some doubts appeared in its little brain.

In some vague memories, there seemed to be two big and bright spheres in the starry sky at night.

Although the brightness is not as good as the photosphere during the day, it can still dispel the darkness at night.

But now...these two balls are gone.

Just like the ball of light during the day, it disappeared suddenly.

where did they go

What are those little dots of light in the night sky?

Questions arose in its mind, filling its underdeveloped brain.

For a long time, it felt a little tired in the neck after maintaining a posture for a long time.

It shook its head, bowed its head again and took a sip of sea water.

The warm seawater slowly descended down its esophagus, also washing away the doubts in its heart.

It doesn't know the answers to these messy questions, and it can't figure out the truth behind it.

But it knew that since the two spheres disappeared and the daytime sky was occupied by the huge disk, the "sunbath" became warmer and more pleasant, and the forest became much safer.

The most important point is that it sees more and more of its kind every night.

This is a good thing.

Its memory hidden in its genes tells it that every time such a situation occurs, their population will obtain a stable reproduction cycle ranging from decades to hundreds of years.

There will be an era of peace ahead.

Thinking of this, it immediately felt happy.

It swung its legs quickly, and ran towards groups of its kind in the distance.

……

Human fleet.

Most of the probes laden with samples have returned to the fleet.

Under various complete isolation measures, Zero controlled the robot to carefully send various samples into specialized biological laboratories.

In order to ensure the biological activity of the samples, the biological laboratory has been temporarily transformed into an atmospheric environment similar to that of a lost star.

A dedicated experimental robot is busy preparing for the experiment in the biological laboratory.

Thanks to breakthroughs in robotics, biologists at this time no longer have to take huge risks to contact alien biological samples.

Of course, this is also limited.

In the event of a special situation that robots cannot handle, there is a high probability that biologists will need to go into battle in person.

"Professor, the probe found unknown creatures in the coastline area of ​​the Lost Star."

The plain tone of the reminder sounded, but it caused an extremely uneven response.

"hiss!!!"

"Where? Where is the unknown creature?!"

"Is it in humanoid form?"

"I don't know if they have wisdom..."

"..."

For a while, the laboratory was filled with various discussions, and Mao Zhengzhi was particularly excited. His face was glowing red with excitement, and he quickly walked through the crowd and squeezed to Lu Yongchang's side.

next moment.

In the holographic image, the shooting picture from the detector appeared.

Although there is almost no light source on the surface of the planet, and there is only dim starlight in the sky, the picture returned by the probe is still as bright as day.

only……

Looking at the empty coastline, Lu Yongchang frowned slightly.

"zero?"

"Where are the unknown creatures?"

He asked Zero with some doubts.

In his view, there are no abnormal objects near the coastline except for the extremely narrow sandy beach.

On the beach, for some reason, there are many strange-shaped lines, which look like traces left by crawling creatures.

Not only Lu Yongchang, but other scientists also showed a little confusion in their eyes.

"Professor, it's a protective color."

As the voice fell, dense red circles appeared in the holographic projection.

Lv Yongchang was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously took a step forward, shortened the distance from the holographic projection, and observed more carefully.

After a few minutes of observation, he noticed the strangeness of these red circles.

Although the red circle area is very similar to the surrounding sandy beach, there are still some flaws when moving - those slowly extending lines are the best proof.

"hiss……"

Lu Yongchang glanced at the number of red circles, took a breath, stepped back half a step and said, "So many?"

"This beach...is almost crowded, right?" He muttered to himself, "Where did they all come from..."

"According to the crawling tracks and observation records, all creatures emerged from the forest." Zero quickly gave the answer, and marked crawling "trajectories" in the holographic projection.

Mao Zhengzhi frowned, and clicked his tongue lightly: "Tsk...that's not right!"

"In this case, why didn't the detector find these creatures during the day?"

"The protective color suitable for the beach should be very conspicuous in the forest."

"Academician Mao, please wait a moment."

The electronic synthesis sounded, and the image in the holographic projection began to be played backwards at an accelerated rate.

Soon, the strange lines on the beach disappeared one by one.

In the end, the beach regained its appearance smoothed by sea water.

Time begins to flow normally.

Seeing the first streak of road suddenly appear at the junction of the beach and the forest, Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed suddenly.

"chameleon?"

He said in relief: "These creatures can change their protective colors from time to time according to the surrounding environment!"

"No wonder the detectors can't find them during the day!"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yongchang said again: "Can you simulate their basic form?"

[Insufficient basic data, there may be a big difference between the simulated form and the real thing. 】

As a line of reminder text appeared, a slightly weird creature began to slowly appear in the holographic projection on the side.

Chapter 595 Rat Woman?

After a short time, the simulation work was completed.

"This……"

The corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly: "Rat woman?"

He had reason to believe that Zero had directly put on the mouse woman's model.

This round body, coupled with those tiny gastropods on the abdomen, brought back childhood memories in Lu Yongchang's mind.

These small bugs, commonly known as watermelon bugs, often live in damp flower beds.

With a flick of your finger, it will shrink into a round ball.

This is his childhood "toy".

"Professor, the current high-altitude exploration data can only confirm that it is an arthropod similar to a mouse woman. The specific shape needs more data support to simulate."

Listening to Ling's "justification", Lu Yongchang raised his hand and raised his forehead with some headaches.

This……

You can tell it's impossible at a glance!

How can alien creatures look the same as earth creatures? !

As soon as he finished complaining in his heart, Lu Yongchang thought of the appearance of Bosa civilization.

The body resembling a stick insect clearly appeared in his mind.

It seems... there is a certain possibility?

Lu Yongchang asked with a strange expression: "I'm not sure about the shape, but what about the size?"

"These...uh, what is the size data of the rat-like creatures?"

Rough data is marked in the holographic model one by one.

"Fuck...the body is five meters long..."

Lu Yongchang suddenly widened his eyes.

this tm...

With a body length of five meters, even if it is really a watermelon bug, its threat to humans will not be low!

I never thought that the insects on this lost star could grow to such a size...

It seems that the plan to land on and explore the Lost Star still needs some modification.

While Lu Yongchang was thinking about the modification of the exploration plan, Mao Zhengzhi looked at the holographic model thoughtfully and muttered to himself.

"strangeness……"

"They have evolved such a perfect protective color mechanism, what kind of creatures are they protecting against?"

Mao Zhengzhi's words directly brought the originally noisy laboratory back to dead silence!

……

There are too many doubts about the Lost Star.

Those huge trees that can absorb radiant energy, and those rat-like creatures with a body length of five meters...

Mao Zhengzhi's words sounded the alarm for Lu Yongchang.

There may be an extremely powerful predator on the Lost Star!

It can prey on rodent-like creatures with a body length of five meters, and its size and threat level can be imagined!

The plan to land on and explore the Lost Star can only be put aside temporarily, and the samples collected by the robot will be prioritized for exploration.

If they have no high utilization value, perhaps Lu Yongchang will choose to give up exploring this lost star.

……

Inside the biology lab.

According to the instructions, the scientific research type I robot completed the basic exploration projects in a calm and orderly manner.

First, there is the soil.

Mao Zhengzhi was extremely concerned about the soil that cultivated such plants.

But after some probing, the result surprised him.

This soil is extremely ordinary.
