Chapter Thirteen The Tamrons
Molan finally gave in.
Shiqi's advice was indeed what she needed at the moment, so she could only put aside her aversion to the tentacles and start arranging insect hands to defeat the Starfall Insects.
There are two ways to deal with the Starfall Insects, one is simple but requires a little effort, the other is a little more troublesome and costs nothing but wastes a lot of time.
The simple method is to arrange for a dozen Zerg to climb up the tree trunk, throw one to feed the Starfall Insect, and then the other Zerg will tear off the Starfall Insect. One Zerg or even two Zerg will be exchanged for one Starfall Insect. It will be a loss or not.
Of course, Molan’s target is the genes of the Starfall Bug anyway.
The complicated method is to let the worker insects cut down the Kahur tree where the Starfall Bugs live, so that if the tree falls, the Starfall Bugs on it will fall down and die. Because the Kahur Tree is relatively hard, it will take a little more time.
Just fine.
After much deliberation, Mo Lan chose the former. She was the queen of the Zerg, and the Zerg itself was a consumable. There was no need to save, let alone be soft-hearted.
The day is far away, and the stars are dragged to the ground one after another in the long night. The rotten film converts the starfall worm and the undigested zerg in its belly into pure energy.
To Mo Lan's surprise, the Starfall Bugs were actually quite nutritious. Specifically, under the same body size, the energy converted by the Starfall Bugs was three times that of other creatures. Mo Lan could afford at least one Zerg.
Recover three times the energy.
"Starfall insects are extremely nutritious insect creatures. Their bodies are rich in various elements. With..." Shiqi began to read a recipe in Molan's ear again.
Mo Lan was surprised. She didn't expect that Starfall Insects were a relatively famous ingredient in the interstellar world. It wasn't that it was delicious, but that it was rich in nutrients. Therefore, there were many specialized breeding farms...
In addition, it is quite beautiful at night, and it can be regarded as half a tourist attraction. It is said that a hundred years ago, many people were willing to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the stars on the ground.
After thinking about it, Mo Lan suddenly let out a sound of surprise. She didn't expect that the planet she landed on would have many well-known interstellar species. It stands to reason that the Zerg Queen chose remote planets for the ten sisters that were not easily noticed by humans.
That's right.
Wait... Shiqi seems to have mentioned before that the Kahur tree was accidentally discovered by humans. Because it is very useful and has many functions, it is also called the tree of life. Humans have planted this tree on many planets.
, until humans developed again in the later period, the Kahur tree no longer occupied an important position and slowly disappeared from human sight.
Humans have planted Cahul trees on many planets. Molan thought about this sentence. So, is the Cahul tree on Tanloner planet planted by humans or is it a native plant of this planet?
Or maybe the planet the Zerg Queen chose for her was different from the other sisters.
Mo Lan lowered her head, thoughtfully.
The planet Tanloner in the 257th sector of the Northern Fluctuation Galaxy sounds very much like the naming method of humans.
"Shiqi..." Just as Mo Lan was about to ask Shiqi, her mental network was suddenly touched, and some life forms suddenly broke into the coverage of her mental network.
…
"Parker, is it really okay? I feel so dangerous here, as if someone is staring at me all the time." The skinny boy with dark and almost brown skin shrank, holding a half-human-long metal rod in his hand.
, followed the other older boy fearfully.
"There are only handkerchiefs around here. At night, they only have one pair of eyes that can be used. They are very blind and can run away when they encounter each other. Do you still want to help grandma, Hulan." The big boy in front has a slightly swollen eye socket.
It was white, as if it had been covered by something for a long time, and it was incompatible with his dark skin, but his pupils were extra bright at night.
The two boys, who were about thirteen or fourteen years old, were not wearing any extra clothes. They were wearing a simple pair of shorts, with their upper bodies naked, and you could still see a lot of scars on them.
"My grandma is pregnant with my brother, so she needs to eat nutritious food." Parker looked up at the Kahuul tree with no top, and said firmly, "The glowworm only has tentacles to use. As long as I find a way to pull it down, grandma will
There is milk for my brother to eat."
"But, but..." Hu Lan almost cried. He could clearly feel a huge and terrifying gaze staring at him.
Parker waved the long metal stick in his hand and swatted away a snake that suddenly attacked. It was the kind of snake that Molan had encountered before that would disguise itself as vines. At night, they also gave up their disguise and started to attack on their own initiative.
.
"Don't be dazed. Pay attention to the snakes. They are poisonous. If you take one bite, you won't be able to work the next day." Parker smashed the snake's head into pieces before picking it up and putting it into the simple cloth bag wrapped around his waist.
Although this kind of snake is unpalatable and poisonous, it can be used as food after being treated. A little bit of poison is nothing to the Tanlon people. It is within the tolerance of the body and is better than having nothing to eat.
.
Molan was shocked and paid attention to the two brothers who suddenly appeared. Although they looked quite different from the people on earth and the language they spoke was incomprehensible to Molan, Molan was very sure that these were human beings.
This planet is actually a planet occupied by humans.
"Ah, I found it." Shiqi suddenly said.
Before Molan asked what it was, she discovered that a bunch of data was suddenly transmitted from Shiqi in the mental network. After converting it with mental power, a translator with hundreds of thousands of languages appeared in Molan's mental network.
"Thank you! Shiqi." Molan's eyes lit up. In fact, the Queen of the Zerg had a more convenient method, such as using mental power to forcefully invade the two boys, making them into a semi-idiot state, and receiving all the memories of the other party.
, you can naturally understand the language they speak, or if you eat them directly, you will also have the language part in your genes.
But after all, Mo Lan was a human in his former life, so he couldn't do such a cruel thing, not to mention that he looked like two children.
"Something's wrong." Parker took the initiative to stop and looked around, "We've been walking inside for so long, but we haven't seen anything else except crooked vines."
"Either Hanpa took advantage of the dawn to store food and emptied the surrounding area."
"Either it could be that a more powerful creature suddenly appeared nearby."
Hulan almost cried, "Then, let's go back."
Parker gritted his teeth and said, "Keep walking. It may not like us. There are no other creatures around. It's better for us to catch the light bugs. Grandma can't wait any longer."
The last sentence was almost forced out of her throat, and Hulan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Shiqi, do you know about this planet?" Molan asked suddenly.
"There is no relevant record in the data."
"That's it..." Molan continued to observe the two boys. They were not far apart. However, she deliberately kept these two children to avoid the nearby Zerg, so the two boys walked more slowly along the way.
Smooth.
Coincidentally, their target was also Starfall Insects, but Mo Lan had just caught most of the Starfall Insects nearby, and dozens of Soldier Insects were queuing up in the hatching nest, waiting to come out.
As a result, the two boys got closer and closer to Mo Lan's location... Mo Lan did not avoid it.
In order to have enough vision at night, Parker tied one of his eyes for eighteen days during the day. At this time, he noticed the sight of the scene before his younger brother Hulan, who could only follow behind him.
A piece of soft white.
It was a woman's shoulder, illuminated by the stars at night, white and flawless, reflecting a slight soft light.
Is she not wearing any clothes? Parker thought inappropriately and subconsciously stepped forward to try to see more clearly.
Then Parker saw that extremely beautiful woman, wearing a top woven with leaves, and also saw her terrifying spider-like lower body.
Parker seemed to be shocked, unable to make a sound, and his body was shaking and unable to move.
"...She's looking at me!" Hulan let out an inexplicable cry, which woke Parker up from the fear.
From the moment she entered the forest, Hulan had always felt that she was being watched. The moment she saw Molan, the gaze that was staring at him immediately found its source, and Hulan cried out in fear.
"Hey, what a high level of inspiration." Seeing the two boys, Mo Lan noticed that the younger boy actually had some very high levels of inspiration.
Both inspiration and perception come from mental power. The former is passive and the latter is active. Usually, 1 point of mental power only has 1 point of inspiration or perception, but there are always some exceptions that have abilities far beyond their own mental power.
Like the old man, and like the boy in front of me.
"Are you going to eat them?" Shiqi asked in the spiritual network.
"Maybe." Molan replied, she is the queen of the Zerg now, humans are the enemies of the Zerg, and she will not be merciful when necessary.
…
"Tanlong'er turned out to be a mining star." Molan nodded.
"Abandoned." Shiqi added.
"But in fact there is still a considerable part of the mineral resources here, isn't it? It's just that the more expensive part has been harvested and lost." Mo Lan didn't care, her expression was vaguely excited.
This planet not only has the omnipotent Tree of Life, but also a considerable portion of basic mineral resources, which were simply created for the dual-mode development of the human race and the Zerg race that she had previously thought about.
According to the description of the two brothers, Tanloner is a very remote mineral star with a precious mineral called "benzofluoride". It was discovered by interstellar humans and then colonized. Some of the indigenous Tanloner people were bribed to follow those
The interstellar people went to other galaxies, and the other parts were left behind to become miners.
About a few hundred years ago, the benzene fluoride on this planet was completely excavated. The interstellar people left part of their armed forces to guard the indigenous people's mining of other minerals, and no longer cared about this extremely remote planet. It only took a few years.
There will be starships coming to take away the mined minerals.
This group of indigenous people also thought about resisting, but to no avail. When they were colonized, the technological level of this planet was still in the cold weapon age. Apart from the machines in the mining areas, they have not been exposed to other technologies for so many years. Apart from letting their compatriots be
The oppression became even more severe, and resistance had almost no other effect. Therefore, in the past hundred years, no rebels have caused trouble on Tanlon.
However, this does not mean that the life of the Tanlon people is easy.
Because benzene fluoride had been excavated, all the advanced mining machines were taken away, leaving only some old models. Many of them were destroyed during several disturbances by the rebels. Those stationed in Tanlonger
The interstellar people did not repair it. After suppressing the rebels, they let other Tanlon people dig with their bodies in front of them. Later, even the good machines were shut down and the clumsy method of manual labor was adopted.
The planet Tanlon has a thirty-six-day cycle of day and night. To work in the dark, you need to turn on a high-power lamp to see things, but perhaps it is for the Tanlon people. This group of interstellar people never turn on the lights at night.
.
If you don't dig, you won't have food to eat, and if you don't dig enough ore, mining at night is full of dangers, so many Tanlon people set their sights on the forest at night. If you are lucky, you can harvest more than you dig.
The more food you mine, the more dangerous it is.
"Are we just going to let them go back?" Shiqi looked out from Molan's line of sight and saw two figures struggling to drag the corpse of the Starfall Insect.
"I have a better idea." Mo Lan smiled and looked away, "Okay, let's try the new soldier bugs."
