Section 25 Lost Contact
"this……"
The man in glasses looked at Chen Zheng's sketch and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Sir... can I let me see it?" Lu Nata, who was sorting out data, naturally heard the conversation between Chen Zheng and the others. As a researcher who pursued knowledge, he naturally became interested in this matter.
"Give it." The one-eyed dragon handed him the sketch.
"This is!? Sir, can you be sure that it looks like this?" Lu Nata raised his head and asked in disbelief.
"Of course, do you think I will remember it wrong?" Chen Zheng smiled, "When I first came to this planet, I had nothing, and I almost starved to death... Thanks to the big fish in the note, I survived."
As he said that, Chen Zheng patted his stomach.
"...You ate it!? No treatment!?" Lunata stood up in surprise.
"Otherwise? Waiting to starve to death?" Chen Zhenghun said indifferently.
"But it...well, your race has a good stomach, I heard you say." Lunata shook his head and sat down again.
"How is it, what do you think?" Chen Zheng asked, looking at Lu Nata who was speechless.
"...If this fish really grows like this...it's very likely that it has some connection with the giant lizard." Lunata speculated, "especially the location of this carapace and arthropod parasite...you wait."
As he spoke, Lunata started operating quickly on his personal terminal.
“…they should…be good!”
As he said that, Lunata projected what was in his personal terminal - a sectional view of the strange fish and the giant lizard.
"Based on the situation of the giant lizard, I judged that it should have a cystic structure that stores zero crystals at this position... Considering the relationship between the spine, they should be distributed in this way..."
As he said that, two "storage capsules" were built around the ends of the cervical vertebrae at the back of the lizard, and some balls representing zero crystals were placed inside.
"No, they should be like this..." Chen Zheng reached out and copied the zero crystals to Gui Yu's body. Then he adjusted the distribution of the zero crystals and arranged them neatly on both sides of the spine in size.
"In their bodies...at least there is no cystic structure in the body of this strange fish." Chen Zheng said, and adjusted the coverage area of the carapace on the back of the monster fish. "In addition, the carapace is distributed like this... Those zero crystal balls are buried under the carapace, buried in the flesh."
"So..." Lu Nata thought for a while and copied the zero crystal distribution structure adjusted by Chen Zheng to the giant lizard.
"Well... Sure enough, this is more reasonable and does not affect its movement."
After adjustment, Lunata made the model of the giant lizard move according to the star movement pattern of the giant lizard on the previous projection, and found that such a distribution structure did not affect its movement at all.
“…”
All signs indicate that Chen Zheng's speculation is likely to be true - in addition to them and bugs, there may be another camp on this planet that is hostile to bugs.
"You said... were they made by the Changshou clan? They were specifically designed to deal with those bugs and flying dragons?"
"...I don't know, but it seems that they should be more adept at corrupt creatures, and it is difficult to gain an advantage when facing flying dragons." The one-eyed dragon said his judgment.
Indeed, those flying dragons have become invincible just by their advantage of flying, and they have a numerical advantage.
"No, there are only two... No, one and a half samples, and it is not certain whether they have been transformed-I can be sure that this transformation will not continue to descendants, but the previous civilization has already..."
"Yes." Chen Zheng suddenly remembered, "The Changshou people have been extinct for a long time...at least tens of thousands of years, right? Are these 'arthropods' animals like that female insect..."
"Wait! Could that female insect besides it?" Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Although the female insect is very strange... can a pure creature really survive for tens of thousands of years?
"...At least those bugs are newly hatched." Lunata murmured.
There was too little information available to make any further judgments, so the three of them fell into silence again.
"Sir! I found the reason!" The voice of the communicator suddenly rang in the channel.
"Oh? What's going on with the No. 9 drone?" Chen Zheng walked into the cab and asked.
Behind him, the one-eyed dragon and Lu Nata also followed.
"It was shot down, you see..." As he said, the communicator adjusted the screen to the video signal that the drone number 10 was worn back.
In the dense jungle, a pure white drone broke into two pieces and hung on the tree canopy.
"How did you find it?" Chen Zheng adjusted the focal length of the camera on the No. 10 drone and continuously enlarged the wreckage of No. 9.
"... Although it was shot down, the signal repeater was still working, but the height was too low and it broke off the link with No. 10. When No. 10 came over, I found it was like this."
"Have you contacted Drone No. 8?" Chen Zheng frowned as he looked at the more and more details on the screen.
"...No..." the communicator shook his head.
"Continue, let the drone increase the height and expand the interval." Chen Zheng ordered,
"yes!"
As the drone gradually increased and the distance was widened, the relay range of the No. 7 drone was soon searched... However, they still did not receive the signal from the No. 7 drone!
"…Sir…” The correspondent's face was full of uneasiness.
"Continue to expand the scope." Chen Zheng ordered.
"But if the signal strength is expanded, it can be..." The communicator was embarrassed.
"Don't worry about the signal strength, as long as the drone can accept the commands, expand the search range as soon as possible."
"…yes." The communicator accepted the order helplessly.
Gradually, the video signal sent back by the drone became increasingly unstable, and finally the video connection was even directly disconnected.
The bandwidth of short waves is very high and the transmission rate is large, but the energy attenuation is also fast, so the communication distance is naturally short. The energy attenuation of long waves is very slow, but its information transmission speed is naturally much slower than that of short waves.
This is the situation Chen Zheng and the others are facing now. Just like when they used 10M fiber optic video before, it turned into a 2K small water pipe, the video naturally broke and could only maintain text communication.
As time passed, the relay ranges of drones No. 7, No. 6 and No. 5 arrived one after another, but they all disappeared without accident.
"Huh? What is this?" The communicator was stunned and was at a loss as he looked at the messages sent by the No. 10 machine on the screen.
"That's a damage warning." Chen Zheng participated in the design and manufacturing of the second-generation drone throughout the whole process, and naturally knew what this garbled message represented.
