Chapter 416: The trial against Cheng Xin

Cao Yang reported: "Unknown creatures attacking soldiers can be seen everywhere under the water, and their shapes are as diverse as some sticky water.

"We compared the reports of early detectors on white planet creatures and found that these were creatures named 'snot beasts'.

"They are very vivid, and their state is really like a snot in the water."

Everyone in the conference room would smile. Originally, this creature had a long string of code names. The name "snot beast" was a nickname before, but later it became the official name.

Cao Yang continued: "Because many snot beasts have similar appearances as humans, a J195 caught one and brought it back for an anatomy.

"The results of the dissection are similar to what I guessed in my previous report. Human remains were found inside the dissection human snot beast, and some even had only skulls and teeth.

"It's basically certain that the snot beasts did not have human form before. Only after they swallowed the remains of the human victims, did they have human form.

"The bodies of more than 40,000 compatriots were all treated as food by them."

Jiang Yu sighed: "It's no wonder they are. After all, in their eyes, the corpses of their compatriots are a combination of proteins and energy.

"We still have to put all hatred on the enemy. It is the enemy who harmed our compatriots! It is the enemy who left our compatriots without their bones! There is no need to waste too much energy on this primitive creature."

The reason Jiang Yu said this is because about a week ago, someone suggested killing all the snot beasts to avenge his compatriots.

At this meeting, Jiang Yucai made a clear statement and denied the suggestion.

Jiang Yu continued: "We have no time to vent our anger now, and we must build an industrial system as soon as possible.

"If you want to take revenge, work hard to produce industrial products and build warships. We can catch up and kill the enemies one by one!"

The participants applauded together, and everyone's enthusiasm was also very motivated.

After a few seconds of applause, the meeting continued, and Cao Yang said again: "There are many species of creatures in the underwater world, but we only have two J195s, and we only have a simple understanding of the situation underwater.

"At present, only snot beasts are observed to be able to drill to the surface for food. They should be the most active animals on the white planet in winter.

"In addition, J195 also observed two other organisms, and their archives were found in previous exploration materials.

"One of these two creatures is a tadpole beast and the other is a root beast.

"The Tadpole beast is probably the same size as a fist, and it looks a bit like a tadpole, with a big head and five tails behind it.

"There are many tadpole beasts, and most snot beasts feed on tadpole beasts.

"There is also an obviously root beast standing at the top of the food chain. Its shape is very similar to the roots of a big tree. The roots of thick to thin slowly float, preying on the snot beasts that are swimming everywhere.

"The root beast is very large in size, with a maximum length of more than one hundred meters!

"According to previous exploration reports, root beasts are amphibians that will climb islands in summer and will coexist with a plant with huge leaves.

"A J195 cut a 'root' of the thickness of an arm and brought it back for dissection. The surface of the root has a structure similar to a suction cup, which can absorb the snot beast.

"As for how it absorbs the snot beast, we need to observe further. We guess that it should absorb the body fluid of the snot beast like a spider.

"These three creatures form a simple biological chain. It is estimated that the biological chain of white planets should be larger and more complete, but we don't have time to do these observations now.

"First briefly summarize and understand, and then make specific explorations when you have time."

Cao Yang took a sip of water and then concluded: "Based on the previous exploration and recent observation, the creatures of the white planet have no visual organs such as eyes.

"Of course, it may also be that the visual organs have degenerated under thick ice and under the deep sea for a long time.

"Their sensory organs may only have touch sense, and their nervous system is not well developed, and their reactions are very slow, but their vitality is tenacious.

"After DNA comparison, their DNA has many similarities to the organisms on Earth, and should be the same ancestral source as the organisms on Earth."

Everyone was slightly stunned by Cao Yang's last words.

Xing Yuanbin followed: "This further proves a hypothesis of the Academy of Sciences: carbon-based life should have a common ancestral origin.

"It's just how life spreads through galaxies and galaxies? It's still an unsolved puzzle.

"When you have time to contact the Earth Province and ask if they have 'catched' the comet."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "We don't have time to study these topics now."

Then he said seriously: "Cao Yang has another major discovery. Before the meeting began, there was no time to report it."

Everyone focused all their attention on Cao Yang. Cao Yang took out a white brick-like thing in a transparent bag and said to everyone:

"This is the silicon dioxide found near the location of the Silicon Star Man that the detector observed before. It is supposed to be the enemy's excrement!"

Everyone was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized that the enemy was a silicon-based creature!

After carbon-based organisms inhalate oxygen, carbon dioxide will be produced due to metabolism.

Because oxygen is active enough and will definitely be very rich in environments where complex organisms are easily formed.

So generally speaking, the metabolism of complex living organisms requires more or less oxygen.

If the metabolism of silicon-based organisms also requires oxygen, silica will be produced.

The difference is that carbon dioxide is a gas, while silica is a solid.

Silicon-based organisms only existed in theory before, but I didn’t expect that silicon-based intelligent organisms were discovered so close to the solar system!

No wonder the focus of the enemy's colonization is not on the livable belt. As a carbon-based creature, humans must be completely different from the livable belt of the enemy.

This is a key intelligence that can infer many clues about the enemy.

After a few seconds of quiet in the conference room, Jiang Yu asked Xing Yuanbin to report again.

"We have the best time." Xing Yuanbin came back from his imagination of "silicon-based organisms" and said: "The early exploration of the planet by detectors has found many locations of minerals.

“I took the exploration robots to confirm one by one and finally found all kinds of minerals needed for our industry.

"I suggest building the initial base on an island that is only more than a thousand kilometers away from us, which is close to the mine, which can save a lot of transportation costs in the early stage.

"In addition, from the wreckage of civilian ships destroyed by the enemy, many useful parts were removed. It is estimated that the nuclear motive of the command ship can be repaired!"

This meeting was basically all good news.

Then Jiang Yu began to make further deployment: "According to the information provided by the solar system and our observations, the white planet has about three Earth-Moons, and it will gradually enter summer.

"Before this, we must work hard to repair the command ship and plan the preliminary construction plan of the base.

"Especially, if the maintenance of the command ship is not properly repaired in these few months, there may never be a chance to repair it."

The command ship is actually at sea.

If summer enters, the surrounding ice and snow will inevitably melt and be soft.

If the command ship cannot move, it will be buried in the loose ice and snow, and may even fall to the bottom of the sea. When winter comes again, the command ship will be frozen under one kilometer of thick ice and snow!

Once the human industrial system starts, the cost of salvage and repairing a command ship will definitely be higher than the cost of producing a command ship.
