Both sexons captured by the advance team were lost in the biosphere riot.
Fortunately, Chen Feiqi risked his life and brought the freezer containing the ecological samples back to the Corps.
The ecological samples were sent from Kote City to the Donghuang Corps overnight as a first-level secret.
In order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the samples, the Donghuang Corps dispatched two level three superpowers to escort the freezer.
After several days of decryption and analysis of satellite images, the biological experts of the Corps are working intensively to decipher the Straker ecosystem.
The satellite photos of the attack on the advance team that day were also restored frame by frame on the big screen.
The leader of the scientific research team pointed at a frame of light balls excited by Sexon's tail and shook the laser pointer in his hand.
"It is basically certain that this purple light ball is an erbium energy ball. However, due to the lack of samples, it is still not possible to determine the use and transformation form of erbium energy by the 'spore'." The team leader pushed up his glasses: "What we got
The spore tail needle has a unique silicon-based transistor structure. From a military perspective, the spore tail transistor can be used as a laser emitter."
A group of researchers are taking notes.
"Before we get more samples, we cannot draw rash conclusions about this special creature. Every judgment we make may determine the movement of the corps. I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties due to our mistakes." The team leader retracted.
Laser pointer: "The chief of the biochemistry department will give a mission briefing."
An old man wearing reading glasses stood up and turned on the 3D projector. The system automatically switched to 3D imaging and projected a smooth gray slice of the sample brought back.
The thick slices were cut into irregular triangles, which seemed to be the result of violent sampling with a saber.
The old man adjusted the information on the lower panel and called up the data previously measured by the biochemical department.
"This is sampled from the outer skin of the umbrella tree, or we can call it an exoskeleton." The old man explained the experimental data in detail: "It is a silicon-carbon double-base structure. The silicon base and calcium make up the main structure of the exoskeleton. The strength is
The hardness is extremely high, and the difference from bones is that the umbrella tree's exoskeleton has no repair ability. That is to say, if the umbrella tree's exoskeleton is injured, it can only take a long time to secrete the exoskeleton material on its own, and finally condenses.
into a new exoskeleton.”
The leader of the scientific research team interrupted the old man's analysis.
"Researcher Wang, let's start with the ecosystem matrix. There are many newcomers in the experimental group, and they don't even know what an umbrella tree is. Let's start with the mushroom carpet."
Professor Wang pondered for a moment, nodded, brought up another folder, opened the creep information, and began to explain the creep to everyone.
"Certificate, the scientific name is Straker Ecosystem Base Semi-liquid, is an organic matter similar to a petri dish..."
The scholars began a long discussion.
Xu Tiegong glanced at the communicator, patted the secretary beside him, got up and left the experimental base.
The secretary and people around him told him to keep records of the experiments and followed Xu Tiegong away.
He hurried to the internal affairs office, and Xu Rushi was already waiting for him.
"Old Xu, I didn't even say a word when I came, and I kept you waiting for such a long time." Xu Tiegong smiled and asked his secretary to make tea.
"I know you must have been busy lately, and I didn't want to disturb you." Xu Rushi smiled and said, "I just came to see how the decryption work of the ecosystem is going."
Xu Tiegong shook his head.
"Too many things remain at the most basic theoretical level. Alas, the two Saxon samples were not brought back, otherwise the laboratory would not have been without constructive results for so long."
"At what stage is the analysis of the samples brought back?"
"The basic analysis has been completed and the genetic code is being deciphered."
Xu Ruzhi asked with great interest: "Are the genetic codes of these things also DNA?"
"This..." Xu Tiegong hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be a double helix structure."
Xu Rushi was not a biologist after all, so he nodded without going into details.
"Take me to see the research room."
"certainly."
When I brought Xu Rushi back to the laboratory, Professor Wang was still talking about fungus carpets.
"...In other words, the entire fungus carpet can be regarded as a complete living body, or as the skin and nutrient matrix of Straker's ecosystem, which can play the role of information transmission and nutrient transfer. But we don't have it now.
Figure out who these nutrients are transferred to. If these nutrients are transferred to plants such as umbrella trees... Regarding the biological description of umbrella trees, we will mention it in a later topic. Umbrella trees have their own unique
It has a nutrient uptake system, and the energy of the creep is transmitted through energy transmitters. Judging from the exoskeleton and body composition of the umbrella tree, it does not have receptors for receiving transmitters. Therefore, there is currently no one for whom the nutrients of the creep are provided.
Conclusion.”
What follows is analysis of the umbrella tree's exoskeleton, floc and blood samples.
After explaining various biological samples in the ecosystem, we finally came to the issue that Xu Rushi was concerned about—Saxon.
"The biological samples are not comprehensive. We currently know very little about creatures like Sexon. Judging from the current samples, let's talk about this head-like organ first." Professor Wang called out the two heads chopped off by Chen Mo: "
The pinhole-shaped thing above is indeed a compound eye, but this entire organ is not a head. According to anatomical inference, this organ should be an external information receiver integrating mouthparts and perception systems. Using a human analogy, it should be an eye plus
A mouth and a nose. But there is no information processing center, that is to say, there is no brain."
After adjusting the slide, Professor Wang explained the anatomy of Sexton.
"It's different from the ganglia of all known animals in Ross Star, oh no...it still has something in common with Root. Sexon's neurotransmitters are conducted in a special way, and the conduction rate is three times that of humans.
The above means that Sexon's reaction speed is three times faster than that of humans. In addition, it has a tail transistor as an energy weapon. Compared with humans, this is an advanced species that uses its body to fight, and its structure is stronger than that of the human body.
Perfect...Of course, this is closely related to the natural environment of the Rose Planet before human transformation..."
After listening to the experimenter's explanation for a while, Xu Rushi shook his head.
“This has no reference significance for cracking the ecosystem.”
Xu Tiegong nodded: "Without the Saxon entity, all we can conduct is experimental analysis, and we cannot understand anything else."
Xu Ru was silent for a long time.
"A living body is necessary?"
"Yes, and we must establish a research base within the ecosystem, otherwise all scientific research results will be just like what you see today, just talk on paper."
"Hurry up and continue researching. I will propose to the corps commander in the afternoon that we bring together senior corps leaders from all over the central and northern regions to discuss how to jointly enter the ecosystem."
