Douluo See You For a Long Time

The industry's demand for minerals is obvious to all. The annual consumption of iron ore in the Tulip Dukedom is astronomical. Over the past few years, explosives have blasted the mine into a basin. It is conceivable how fast the metal is consumed.

Although the Sun Moon Continent is not as exaggerated as the duchy, they have used a large amount of rare metals for a longer period of time. As long as you do some calculations, you will know that with such a consumption rate, the metal will soon be insufficient, and it will last for tens of thousands of years.

"Wait! Have you overlooked a question?" Although Meng Shu is funny, his mind is still very flexible: "If it is said that the endless supply of metals in the Sun Moon Continent comes from these metal plants, then these metal plants Where did it come from again?

Metal elements will not be born out of thin air. These plants can at most absorb trace metals in the soil. Theoretically, it is impossible to grow so large, unless every plant here has mastered the fusion technology of heavy elements, which can convert hydrogen in water into elements they need. "

Meng Shu's question hits the nail on the head. If the plants here can fuse heavy elements, then they should go as far as they can!

According to Chengying's recalculation, the content of elements in Douluo Star's crust is still arranged in the form of oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, potassium, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Although there is a lot of iron, in ordinary soil, the iron content is negligible. These plants can If the magnet is attracted, the iron content will not be low. Even if more of the internal structure is silicon, it cannot grow out of conventional terrain.

The reason why metals are consumed is because of rust, and the crushed metals are difficult to collect and smelt again. The iron content in the soil is about 2% to 3%. Humans can hardly do anything about this part of iron. What is extracted and utilized is not enough to grow plants with metal as the main element.

"There is another possibility, but we have to go in there to see if you can smell the subtle smell of sulfur in the air." After Tang Chen collected a metal plant with a complete soil sample, he stopped observing these plants.

"Sulphur smell? Do you mean volcanoes?" Jian Hongchen frowned and said, "In other words, there are quite a few volcanoes around some cities in this area. The strangest thing is that this is not a plate junction, but a continent." In the center, there are a large number of volcanoes, I didn’t feel it before, but it’s really strange to think about it now.”

"That's right!" Bo Saixi clapped his hands: "The asthenosphere is rich in silicon dioxide and many metal oxides. Below the landform, the metal content is even more exaggerated. If there is an active volcano nearby, it can explains the origin of this strange ecosystem."

"Let's go! Let's explore!" Tang Chen took out a seven-seater off-road vehicle from the storage watch. The tractor-like tires ensure that it can conquer almost all terrains.

"Get in the car!" Bo Saixi patted the car horn, driving a vehicle or something, she is still the strongest,

Relying on their strength and not being afraid of a sneak attack by spirit beasts, they turned on the car stereo.

"Running with the wind and freedom is the direction, chasing the power of thunder and lightning~" Rui Wenwen's familiar voice made Tang Chen roll his eyes, thinking that Cheng Ying also sang this song when he was working on a wind-up car, But the same song, how can there be such a big difference?

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

As an ecosystem, there is very little possibility of only producers, and consumers are mostly aggressive. The car is driving so aggressively, which naturally arouses some unsatisfactory attention.

A ghost-like light stared at the car, and the metal shell on the body had a fatal attraction to certain creatures.

As night fell, the area illuminated by the headlights became smaller and smaller, and everyone soon felt the presence of an uninvited guest.

There was a sound of creaking metal friction, and six-legged creatures crawling on the ground appeared within the range of the headlights. They looked like insects, but they were not the same. There was no distinction between the head, chest and abdomen. Basin size.

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

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

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

The bugs surrounding the car were indeed affected by the electromagnetic pulse. Although they didn't die, they made a sharp chirping sound, and then bit their companions like they lost their minds.

"Shall we go or not?" Bo Saixi hung her foot on the gas pedal, these bugs hardly threatened them, so she actually wanted to stay and observe.

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

"this……"

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

Take the human skeleton as an example. In topology, the human skeleton is closer to a tree than a ring. They all use the spine as a backbone, as if they are extending.

But those bugs do 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, and grid-like bones often mean With a grid-like nervous system, it is a strange creature like a starfish.

No nerve center means no brain. It is not difficult to see from the remains of these bugs that they do not have brains, but judging from their initial behavior patterns, their intelligence should be quite high.

The grid-like neural structure has a body structure that is symmetrical on both sides. There is no clear nerve center, but it has a lot of intelligence. No matter how you look at it, this species also belongs to the type that frees itself on the road of evolution.

"Should we kill them all, or take a few live samples back?" Chao Tianxiang stared at the metal bugs that were killing each other, and said suddenly: "Do you think they will be like ants, with a stable Social Structure?"

Chao Tianxiang's words awakened the dreamer, and Bo Saixi immediately pulled Meng Shu who was about to catch the specimen, and put away the off-road vehicle, using the flashlight for lighting.

"When they have a few survivors left, we will follow them!"
