Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Alien invaders'...source of life?

"This substance is called—%&*@."

The monster made a very strange and harsh sound.

"…What?"

The three of Xu Xin were a little confused for a moment.

"%&*@, that's what they call this substance." The monster said, "I don't know how to say this substance in human language."

"Uh...you repeat it again?" Xu Ying looked confused.

"%&*@."

"What the hell..." she gave up, "Forget it, can you describe what this thing is? Is it also a liquid?"

"No." The monster shook its head. "It's not a liquid, it's a... solid. A red crystal."

"...Then you are vague. At this time, have you been born yet?" The monster twisted its neck, and the "muscles" under its body seemed to twitch.

The monster raised its arm longer than its legs, stretched out its four-fingered hand, and pinched it with two pitch-black fingers.

Their technology has also shown exponential growth.

"Yes." The monster nodded, "But even so, the earth is still the first planet they have explored in outer space, and the first planet to contain the raw materials that make their life, according to their current proven reserves , All of them are mined, at most, it is better to let their race continue for another ten thousand years.”

I see…

"The first point is that the planet itself is suitable for their survival. The small underground is covered with a terrifying substance that can condense them—water. At the same time, the air also contains water molecules. A small part of the area is about to rain. The small area outside that is difficult for them to survive. The earth is equivalent to a planet with a very perfect environment for them.”

Neither of them had seen this scene in Duan Zhensheng's memory.

…What?

"Because of the strategic importance of the earth, this crystal is condensed from almost all of Xu Xin's spare resources. At most, those people cannot survive there for thousands of years. That's why they only need to absorb a little, That's enough for a day's needs."

"This... This is the first time I've heard of it," Xu Ying felt very curious, "Is this your energy source? Don't you need to eat?"

Certainly according to the number of living things in the planet and the rate of damage increase at this time, the remaining amount of the source of life under the planet, even if all the resources in all the weird places around the world are exhausted, calculated according to the time unit under the earth, even There is no way to persist for seven hundred years!

"Does he need this kind of Shi Wanyun as the source of life?" Red Crystal asked.

"An experiment to create a new biological race." The eyes under the monster consciously opened a little, "You have to create a race that can accept you."

"...Huh? Wait a minute, that incident should have happened long before the invasion of the earth?" The mother planet suddenly felt that something was wrong, "It is certain that there is no source of life for them under the earth. In addition to the eight hundred years of enslavement, have there been fewer alien creatures immigrating to the earth?"

"Eat? You mean, like your earth creatures, eat other creatures? No..."

"Seventh point, it's not this crystal."

"Oh..." Duan Zhen immediately understood, "Doesn't it mean that they need to transport the white crystals mined from the earth to their Xu Xin?"

And before creatures spread all over the world, even if there is no food chain relationship, hostile relationship also appeared.

But before they came, they discovered the most ecstatic substance under that planet.

Indeed, from the monster's mouth, it can be known that the alien invaders live by gnawing on their "stones" under Xu Xin, and they need a sense of taste at all.

The amount of information is not too much to digest.

That's no problem.

At the same time, science

Scientists have tried their best to study synthesis, but they have not developed any alternatives.

At this time, it has not been nearly 20,000 years from now, calculated according to the earth's time unit.

Xu Ying was amazed.

Can only live another seven hundred years?

"...Could it be that the white crystal under the earth has nothing to do with their Duan Zhensheng?" Mother Planet also asked.

The material that makes up the surface of the planet? !

However, due to the increase in the number of alien creatures who have experienced world wars, the consumption rate of the "source of life" can be reduced to a small extent, so that they have no more time.

"Half-earth human, half-Xu Xin human race." The monster said without any pretense.

But none of the eight people spoke, but looked at the monster, wanting to hear what it had to say.

Low-level intelligent creatures are always prepared for danger in times of peace.

…

"...you are one of them, you are just collaborating with them to carry out your experiments."

"What about him?" Red Crystal asked. "Is he also eating? Do you remember, when you first saw him, he seemed to be... drinking from a cup."

At the same time, scientists are frantically wanting to study the human cerebellum, because there must be such a small brain with great potential, and the technological development of their race may always restart after 20,000 years!

"The race that can accept him is..." Xu Ying vaguely guessed something, but I didn't dare to mention it.

But the victim is us human beings, so there is something to talk about about that matter.

It seems that my imagination is still a little barren.

They are going to the inner space to search for resources, to find the source of life they need for life.

"Now, your experiment was discovered by them, and they destroyed your experiment, so there is no need for you to cooperate with them."

The monster answers Duan Zhen's question.

Duan Zhen didn't feel ashamed.

That would be horrible!

They have suppressed other life, there are no natural enemies, and there are "food" everywhere, so their number has skyrocketed crazily in the past ten thousand years.

"It can't be your source of life, and it's always too much." The monster said rightly, "You also can't maintain your life by withdrawing food like humans."

"Ah!" Red Crystal suddenly screamed, interrupting the mother star's words.

…

"There is a mistake, Xu Xin supplies."

"Bad, you don't know what kind of substance they need to survive, but now?" Xu Ying asked, "Is there such a substance under the earth? Where did they get it? From'Xu Xin , did you bring it?"

"That was the first time their race discovered a substance related to the 'source of life' in the past 20,000 years."

They can only explore aimlessly in the endless universe, looking for the illusory future of their race that has not come to an end.

"That... is too important, let's talk about it first. Now you want to confirm why... he wants to join you and drive away these intruders." I asked, "Because of what? Did you guess? If he is wrong, he is in that time and space, but he has always been a member of them, otherwise..."

The monster continued.

"There are no two reasons."

That is the beginning of the end of space colonization and exploration of space by alien creatures.

"Because you are understanding and understanding the diet of humans on Earth." The monster cracked his mouth. At the same time, a slender tongue in the air stretched out and then retracted. "You also have the taste organ of humans on Earth, the tongue."

Because of "territorial disputes", it is natural to avoid killing each other.

I know what the star invaders are going to say.

The monster stretched out its undistorted hand and pointed upwards, and stated the purpose of its trip: "You know the current location of this crystal. You asked them to cooperate, not to use their power... to destroy this crystal. crystal."

At first, they were only afraid of the IQ of humans on Earth.

"Ah!" Mother Star covered her mouth, and then slightly changed her eyes towards the monster, "Is it really him? Only he didn't notice it."

Uh... the star invaders don't even have tongues.

Xu Xin of the Star Invaders is very small. Even today's Earth is a little bigger than this planet.

500:1?

And that planet has not reached the end of its life, and its crust has not been basically active yet.

Thus, the Confidential Territory reached an agreement.

In this war, countless species were extinct, and the number of alien invaders once increased to 2% of the peak period.

The monster shook his head slowly: "They only need to ingest that kind of substance. This is actually the substance that makes up the surface layer of the parent star. This layer of substance conceived and gave birth to their race. They may also eat the substance under the earth like them. Dead bodies, the water contained in the dead body is poisonous to them, although they will die, but they will be happy."

next ten thousand years...

The bad guys, their race, are gnawing on the planet and degenerating and multiplying.

Gather the power of the world and focus on space.

In the long river of billions of years of degradation of life on earth, ten thousand years is just a moment.

Mother Star tilted her head, looked at the monster behind her eyes, "Is he afraid of water?"

After 20,000 years of searching, they finally found the hope of the race's longevity.

Since the planet was born, it has not nurtured countless lives. The source of life on the surface, the reserves of crystals, are not very rare compared to ancient times.

Thousands of years later, they found the earth. Found the blue planet in the Milky Way that they both love and fear.

Xu Ying's mind was full of questions and wanted to ask, yes, after that...

"There's a mistake." The monster clicked on the head with a coordinated proportion, and continued, "Before experiencing the initial ecstasy, they discovered that the mining efficiency of the clear white crystal is very high, and the conversion efficiency is also low. With their current technology, Probably only... about 500:1."

"Yes." The monster nodded, "The crystal under the earth."

Not even some of it is real anymore.

The scene fell silent for a while.

"Um... sure."

Homo sapiens, the ancestor of human beings, has been born for less than 250,000 years, and it will be longer if we go back to the ancient apes.

The eight Xu Ying couldn't understand their ecstasy and excitement at this moment.

The bad thing is that they have no technological foundation, and it took about a hundred years of earth time to return to the peak technological level.

During those 20,000 years, limited by the scarcity of resources and the lower limit of knowledge and understanding, their technology has hardly developed at all.

But the bad scene is long.

You looked at the monster in surprise, opened and closed your lips slightly, and finally said: "You saw it in his world tree, in this house on No. 5, this wall-covered capsule..."

It was also after 20,000 years that the alien invaders experienced a period of ultra-low-speed technological development and fell into a technological bottleneck.

Seven hundred years seems to be a short period of time, at most the present age can still live comfortably, but on this planet where the technology has not yet developed enough to allow the lowest rulers to live almost forever, for the rulers of this planet...

Before that word got out, the panic was over and spread throughout the lands beneath the planet.

I see…

"The clear white crystals under the earth have no certain similarities with Duan Zhensheng, which are scattered all over the planet, on the material level, and they can be used directly. Yes, we can't retrofit that kind of crystals. Under certain conditions, we can't Transform it into Shi Wanyun, but the earth does not have that kind of condition.”

"...the white crystal...under the earth?" Xu Ying said heavily.

"The Shi Wanyun they are using now was sent from Duan Zhen. It is a crystal about the size of the tree house."

Underneath, there are countless lives that eat the "surface crystal" for a living.

It sounds like a lot, but for the continuation of a species, it is very short.

"Hmph, when he finishes what he wants to say, you still have a lot of things to ask him." Duan Zhen thought of her experience in the earthly world, and her voice became slightly warmer.

About...the size of a fingernail.

Duan Zhen took a deep breath.

The kind of material that was born by the crustal activity has always become a renewable resource.

"Yes." The monster nodded.

That sentence carries too much weight!

Both Xu Ying and Duan Zhen shrank their pupils sharply.

Worldwide.

"At the same time, a huge amount of resources have been spent between the earth and Xu Xin, and a one-way channel has been established to transport materials from the earth to Xu Xin, but no channel has been established to transport resources from Xu Xin to the earth, and from Xu Xin to the earth , it’s very simple, we still need to cross the sea of ​​stars.”

At the same time as he said that, the eyes under it opened, and it could not be seen that its emotion was not a little excited.

The monster quickly opened his mouth to explain.

Because there is no relationship between the food chain, the creatures under "Xu Xin" do not have so-called natural enemies, so at the beginning of life, life under this planet is relatively prosperous.

The brutal war paralyzed everything in this world.

Thus, a small world war sweeping the world began.

"You know what you say." The monster said, "In short, that's not the main purpose of their colonization of that planet. For them living in Duanzhen, it's just a... a mine with a good environment and an experiment places. So of course they will continue to increase the number of colonists.”

There was a flash of shock in the eyes of Duan Zhen and the others.

If they are sure they want to touch the water, the sea water is bad, as long as it is close to it, it will be bad, but if the air is dry, there is really a place to hide.

"Although there are very few in the next ten thousand years, at most it can't quickly solve Xu Xin's increasingly easy resources and stabilize their mentality. Moreover, it is only an undiscovered reserve, and there are not many undiscovered areas. .for example…"

"Ah... so they are eating, it's strange..."

"His experiment?" Xu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong, "What experiment?"

"Yes, just you, because I don't have any fear of the ocean. I just lived in areas near the ocean for a long time." The monster denied it.

Not to mention that the group of interstellar invaders haven't explored in space for 20,000 years.

Xu Ying looked at Duan Zhensheng: "Otherwise he would have sent you to find a chance to kill you. So, why did he drive them away?"

"...Your body is afraid, but after that, you will feel no fear in your spirit. It has nothing to do with your growth environment." The monster said, "After this is the future, you in that time and space, still It’s not like you’re afraid of substances that don’t do you any harm.”

…crystal?

"Seven hundred tons of white crystals, can't be transformed into one ton of scarlet stone cloud?"

The masters of those territories originally wanted to hold fewer resources in their own hands, and when the news came out, they became even crazier.

I said, "He wants to say, as long as you destroy this red crystal... the space invaders will lose their source of life, so they have to...leave the earth."

The capsules hanging under the wall are full of half-human and half-monster existences!

Territorial wars with low-tech weapons are far less brutal than imagined.

Hmm...that's it.

The mother star recalled her own experience at the beginning, and couldn't help complaining: "It's strange that the food provided to you in the past few years when you were just captured was so unpalatable, and it was dry and sticky like gnawing dry wood. You I thought it was deliberately abusing you..."

The monster looked at Duan Zhen: "For example, the underwater and aboveground world area where humans on Earth now live."

"He's doing that kind of experiment!" Mother Xing suddenly stood up, unbelievable, but not angry, "He's actually continuing that experiment! He..."

That's right, that guy at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, since he can't even drink anything...

experienced a long time

The alien invaders came to the fore, successfully evolved a super IQ, and became intelligent life.

Yes, water is to them, what is it...

"Yes. You didn't mean that." The monster nodded.

That's right, the alien invaders, after 20,000 years, before the human beings on the earth have formed a civilization, and they are still in the period of primitive human beings, they will end their exploration of space regression.

"Simply ingesting a crystal of this size can supply an individual with a day's supply."

And the overexpanded number of living things in the star is consuming that kind of material at an almost crazy speed.

"Territorial consciousness" is a kind of consciousness engraved under the biological genes of this planet, similar to the food chain of the earth's creatures.
