Section 604 Space
Many Imperial ordnances contain a certain amount of zircon. Especially the power armor, the extension and hardness of steel are closely related to the amount of zircon added. On the list of Imperial mineral resources, zircon ranks seventeenth in the blue entry, which is a strategic resource that must be absolutely controlled and stored in large quantities.
“We’re rich”
Henggeri took a breath with great excitement, almost his whole body trembled: "It's actually a zircon. I didn't expect to find it here. If there was a whole vein here, then we would have really come to the right trip."
Su Hao also showed a faint look of joy on his face. He nodded and quickly assigned everyone's responsibilities: "Old Mo, you can immediately resample these rocks. Henggery will detect the distribution and direction of the rock formation. I will be responsible for the alert. Move quickly. I wonder if the time here is the same as the original world? I don't want to stay in the wilderness at night."
More than an hour has passed and the basic survey work has been completed. The answer is not as good as people imagine. These rocks do contain zirconium, but are not complete mineral veins, but some similar elements remaining on the surface.
"I knew that gold coins were like beautiful women, and it was impossible to wave to us casually and smile."
Henggeri stood up in disappointment, patted the sand on the surface of the armor, and looked at a piece of zircon held in his palm with regret. He looked helpless and said with a rather self-deprecating expression: "I'm so happy. I thought I'd become rich, but I didn't expect that I just picked up some change that others don't want."
The expression on Mo Xingkui's face was much calmer. He carried a short-barrel rifle, closed the detector, and explained: "Let's go, we should go somewhere else. Maybe there will be better results than this."
Just as the three of them packed their tools and carried their backpacks, Su Hao suddenly stopped, raised his left hand, and made a move to silence.
The wind brings some sounds from a distant place that do not belong here.
Very messy, not a grammar that humans can understand. But it is certain that the sound is very miserable and full of despair. It is like someone's roar or screaming before his death.
Su Hao quickly determined the direction and pointed his back at six o'clock in the direction of the rock, whispering: "It's there."
There was a mountain ridge dozens of meters high, blocking everyone's view.
While climbing up the ridge, the explorers saw an unusually tall gray shadow.
This is a strange creature with its appearance characteristics very much like a bear on Earth. Its front paws are extremely thick, with fine scales covered on its shoulders and back. The surface is lustered and constantly reflecting dazzling light. The alien bear is more than eight meters long and has long legs, and is bent backward like a bird. Every time it jumps, it curls up and releases powerful power with its thick thighs. Its body is straight, like an accurately calculated shell, hitting every locked target
There are four humanoid creatures fighting it.
Su Hao couldn't tell whether it was a real human? But at least they had the same appearance characteristics as themselves. They held weapons such as knives, axes, sticks, and they seemed to be hunting, and they seemed to be attacked suddenly. The screams were made by these humanoid creatures, but no one could understand what they wanted to express.
Su Hao and others had just stopped when a humanoid creature had been pounced down by the alien bear, grabbed his legs and picked it up. The terrifying giant monster opened its big mouth full of fangs, first stretched out its sharp claws, grabbed the top of the humanoid creature's head, and rotated it hard like twisting the bottle cap. Under the gaze of Su Hao and the other two, the poor humanoid creature's neck was broken, and the alien bear opened its mouth to bite the shoulders of the prey that had lost its head, and drank the blood gushed out desperately.
The other three humanoid creatures immediately surrounded and slashed at the alien bear's body, but were firmly blocked by the fine scales covering the skin, unable to cause any damage.
This kind of battle is obviously asymmetric. Su Hao and others watched the battle for less than two minutes, and another humanoid creature was killed. It was grabbed by an alien bear and tore its abdomen, took out its intestines, then abandoned it high, screamed and fell to death on the hard rock.
A humanoid creature holding a spear rushed forward and stabbed towards the soft chest of the alien bear. The giant beast was very sensitive, dodging away from the attack, roaring to bite the opponent's flesh and blood, but was rushed by another humanoid creature next to him, hugging the back of the attacker's previous attacker and pushing it to a safe distance next to him. The giant beast was completely angered and bounced again, grabbing the right leg of the humanoid creature that later was lifted over his head effortlessly, as if he had grabbed some kind of toy, held his ankle, and kept smashing towards the ground.
The "floating" sound was so terrible. Su Hao saw the caught humanoid creature's body blooming, blood flowing, the bridge of his nose collapsed, and his left eye was smashed out of his eye socket. It kept screaming, but it could not break free from the claws of the alien bear. Another humanoid creature pushed next to him seemed to have injured his legs and feet. Although his face was full of anger and fear, he could only half lie on the ground and struggle, and could not get up for a long time.
Hengrey clamped the standard short-barrel rifle in his hand and asked eagerly: "Do you want to save them? They look like us, all humans."
Su Hao did not answer immediately, but quickly replayed every detail of the scene I just saw in his mind.
The alien bear is very powerful, with a comprehensive strength equivalent to the third-level evolution of the third-stage world, and it is the top-level one. The humanoid creatures seem weak. Although they have weapons, they cannot deal with giant beasts wearing scales. In short, even if the alien bear is dropped, the surviving humanoid creatures cannot pose a threat to the exploration team. This is very important. Su Hao doesn't want to be shot through the heart from behind by the other party just after saving someone.
If Su Hao hadn't known nothing about the world, he would not have taken action. The reason he came here was to collect benefits. They were plunderers and conquerors, rather than missionaries holding the gospels.
There is another point: being able to make weapons means that these humanoid creatures have wisdom. In contrast, they should be easier to deal with and communicate better than the barbaric giant beast.
No matter what situation he encounters, Su Hao warned himself to be calm and make the decision that best suits his interests as soon as possible.
"Let's go and help those two unlucky guys"
After saying this briefly and fragilely, Su Hao arched up and jumped up like a cheetah, constantly changing his running path between the rocks and sand, rushing towards the alien bear in the center of the valley below.
The beast's perception organ is very sharp. It instinctively throws away the half-dead prey in its hands, and turns over the ugly and hideous head, looking at this side with a vigilant and fierce look.
Su Hao's speed is too fast.
The alien bear did not figure out what was going on at all. He only heard the sudden sound of wind in his ears, followed by the rough and dull gunshots, and several figures that seemed blurred due to high-speed movement. The alien bear instinctively turned around, trying to deal with the sudden enemy with its back. Its scales were very thick and hard, comparable to the strongest shield. However, before the body was completely deflected, a hot energy shot from a distance had hit the abdomen. The alien bear felt an unbearable severe pain, and its eyes were stimulated and suddenly opened, and its movements became slow. When it covered its injured and bleeding abdomen, it was extremely difficult to squat and jumped away, but saw a snow-white light flashing in front of its eyes, and the noise from the small crystal engine was heard in its ears.
Chain saw sword is the most common chain saw weapon in the world in the third stage. It has sharp saw teeth driven by machines, which can cut the enemy openly. This thing is invincible, and some saw teeth are made of single-molecule blades. Even thick steel walls can be easily sawed, let alone ordinary biological cuticles or scales.
The three people cooperated very well. Su Hao and Heng Grey were responsible for long-range suppression. Mo Xingkui rushed to the front and waved the chainsaw sword to cut off the head of the alien bear. When the huge headless monster fell to the sky, the dust on the ground was also lifted up heavily, and blood gushed out from the broken neck, and was quickly absorbed by the dry ground, leaving only a dark red wet soil.
Su Hao held a short-barrel rifle in one hand and strode to the humanoid creature that had been pushed away before. While raising the gun to aim at the other party, he opened the language translation system of the power armor with his left hand.
There have been various debates in the empire about artificial intelligence technology. But no matter who it is, they praise the invention of intelligent language simulation systems. This is a complex computing program that can be compared and judged with the language used by humans through speech in different scenarios, thereby generating independent new language patterns in a short time. Of course, early error simulation judgments are definitely unavoidable, but as long as the two parties continue to contact and more unfamiliar voices are used as judgment criteria, a new language system will be born.
When you get closer, you will see more clearly.
According to the standards of the third stage world, this is a young man about twenty-five years old. He is strong in body, and although his figure is thin, his muscles are very solid. The temperature in this space is very high, just like the midsummer of the third stage world. He only has a pair of leather shorts, no shoes, and a thick layer of calluses on his feet.
The man's eyes were full of gratitude, also with vigilance and alertness. Su Hao watched it struggle to stand up from the ground, watch it make a similar gesture of thanks, and then watched it stagger towards another person who was seriously injured not far away.
It was a middle-aged man with almost the same outfit. It fell to the ground, with blood seeping in the wound, and no idea where the left eye flew, and his eye sockets turned into a shocking blood hole. His breathing was very weak, his entire lower body was twisted and deformed, and his legs and feet were also twisted from the opposite direction, lying on the ground and dying.
As for the other, the humanoid creature that was previously hit hard by an alien bear on the rock, has already stopped breathing.
Henggeri and Mo Xingkui also opened their respective intelligent language systems to collect conversations between two humanoid creatures.
Although there is a smart computer with powerful learning capabilities, it is difficult to communicate with each other in a completely unfamiliar world. After nearly half an hour, it was not until the seriously injured middle-aged man on the ground died completely, and the young man with legs and feet injured cried bitterly in his arms, then picked up the chopped alien bear head from the ground and knelt in front of Mo Xingkui that Su Hao basically understood what the other party wanted to express.
That was thanks, and it was a way to admit that the other party was stronger than himself. As for why he chose Mo Xingkui instead of Su Hao, it was entirely because Mo Xingkui used a chainsaw sword to kill the alien bear, and Su Hao and Heng Gary just stood in the distance and shot. In contrast, Mo Xingkui, who was of course close combat, seemed even more brave.
The young man's name is Kaka. It sounds like a virtual character in the Earth cartoon, but the meaning here represents the butt.
There are indeed hens here, and of course eggs. At least, this kind of bird is similar in shape to the hens on the earth, and the taste is not much different. Kaka's father, the middle-aged man who was seriously injured and died, slaughtered the only hen in the family on the second day after Kaka was born. The fat and oily chicken butt tasted endless aftertaste, so Kaka's father gave his son this name for sure.
This is the Red Griffin Kingdom.
If there is a kingdom, there will naturally be kings and nobles, rich and poor people.
Kaka belongs to the poor.
Not the entire space is short of water. There are several rivers with abundant water in the territory of the Red Griffon Kingdom. However, the fertile fields that are easy to irrigate are all rich people. Poor ghosts like Kaka can only cultivate on barren dry land, so naturally there is no harvest.
Living people will not be suffocated to death by urine. If you find ways to make money, it will naturally become the highest goal in the hearts of every poor person.
Dad Kaka is a very thoughtful guy. He stubbornly believed that he must first find a wife. Because Kaka's mother ran away a few years ago. It is very troublesome for men to have no women, and it will also lead to some unnecessary extra expenses. For example, going out to find a woman, or a widow in the village, etc. In order to solve the problem, Kaka and his son invited two other young people in the village to go out hunting together.
That huge bear-shaped monster is called the Thorn Bear.
This guy is very barbaric, not only strong and fierce, but also likes human flesh. The thorn bear has a very good market in the Red Griffin Kingdom. The skin can be sold at a very high price, and there are special people responsible for purchasing meat and bones. Generally speaking, just hunting an adult thorn bear is enough to maintain the daily expenses of the Kaka and his son for a whole year.
Living people are the best bait for thorn bears. As long as you walk into this barren area where drought is short of water and cut a small wound on your body, the smell of blood will immediately spread with the dry wind. Without going too far, the thorn bear will come to you.
Hunting thorn bears has always been the job of the bravest hunter or warrior. Kaka's father was also crazy and thought of this life-deserving method. You should know that as long as there is a bite in the bowl, no one wants to deal with such monsters. But there is no way. Kaka and his son ate all the last food they had before they set off. Anyway, they were starving to death at home. It would be better to go out and fight.
The result of hard work is that Kaka becomes an orphan.
The intelligent language system can automatically convert various problems into common languages in this world. Kaka loaded the huge bear corpse onto a flatbed car and walked towards the village with Su Hao and others who had just saved him.
Mo Xingkui has always been asking questions, he is the warrior Kaka admires the most. When they were talking, Su Hao followed him and listened carefully without saying a word.
The biological master in this space field is also an evolutionary person.
Judging from the previous battle, Kaka and his father's actual physique is approximately equivalent to the early stage of level one evolution. According to Kaka, there are some "warriors" in the village who are stronger than him. According to this, the human physique in this space field should be weaker than the third stage world, that is, the main world. If calculated based on percentages, the weakening ratio is about fifteen%.
If there is no power armor, Su Hao can also drop the thorn bear. It's just that it's much more difficult and not that smooth.
The armor has strong protection and attack power, and it also increases the user's various abilities significantly. However, no matter what, it will never turn a level 1 evolver into a second level. At most, it will allow the user to obtain similar abilities, but it will not be able to further improve it in agility.
Back to Kaka in the village, it caused a sensation. Many people gathered around to watch the huge thorn bear. After amazement and surprise, the focus also shifted to strangers such as Su Hao.
"I've never seen such a style of armor. Where do these guys come from?"
"Look at the weapon in their hands, what is that? Is a pipe a gambler?"
"These three guys look so strange. Their heads are so small but their bodies are so big. Could it be a variant caused by malnutrition?"
"Hey Kaka, should you invite me to have a good meal of meat? Hahahahaha"
More and more people came to watch the fun, from a few to dozens, and it took less than five minutes. It could be seen that the Kaka family had no status in the village. Almost everyone was looking at Kaka with malicious eyes, spinning back and forth on the huge thorn bear corpse. Some people even deliberately grabbed the thorn bear's minced meat from the flatbed cart. One piece was not enough, and another piece was grabbed.
Su Hao and others ignored this and just walked quietly next to Kaka, collecting more voice sources.
Kaka seemed very scared. If it weren't for Henggarry's help, he wouldn't be able to drag the bear corpse back alone. He himself didn't know what Su Hao and others came from. But after all, they saved themselves, at least, it seemed easier to get close to these ulterior motives in the village.
Su Hao never thought of being a nanny. If he hadn't accidentally discovered zircon here, he wouldn't have followed this ignorant young man into the village. Inhabited means that it is relatively safer. If there is no problem, you can consider setting up the forward base here and then returning to the third stage world to bring more personnel and equipment.
