The legend of Tiga

"Out of control?"

Xincheng cried out in surprise. Anyone with an IQ above 20 could tell that the unknown biological material planted on the roof by these aliens was obviously growing too vigorously.

The proliferation of organisms is not a rare thing. Examples of biological invasions are common on Earth, and they occur on land, sea and air.

For example, the rabbits in Kangaroo Country, the carp in America, the lobsters in Europe, etc., are creatures that are almost extinct in other places, but when they are moved to other places, they are rampant and cannot be controlled by machine gun fire, gasoline burning, and poisoning.

But the problem is that the creatures in the image don't really look like regular life forms. Instead, they look a bit like fungi like the Tai Sui, and their reproduction method is also very similar to that of fungi.

  Wire drawing and spore formation!

They are fundamentally different from conventional animals and plants.

Moreover, these life forms, which are suspected to be individual fungi, give people the feeling that they are connected to each other after they become rampant. Not only are they evenly distributed, but they are also kept at a certain distance from each other to avoid competing for growth resources and prevent "involution". Moreover, each fungal life form that gathers into a mushroom shape will also connect with nearby "companions" in the form of hyphae. In this way, one by one, all the fungal life forms are connected together.

If the hyphae are regarded as ropes and the mushroom bodies as nodes, then it is a big net.

  But if we regard the mycelium as an optical cable and the mushroom body as a node, then this is the Internet, and the light flowing in it is the message, right?

"."

Why is it getting weirder?

Bisomo clearly looks like an artificial life form that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Shouldn't it be absorbing electricity crazily? How did it become the 'Internet'?

  Could this be Bizomo's original form?

The original work is a mutation?

However, speaking of the original work, Chiba Makoto remembered that in the original work, Bisoma really had the ability to invade the network. He dispersed his fist-sized flesh into billions, infiltrated into laptops and even PDIs, thereby taking over the equipment and using it as a springboard to enter the network.

The fact that it can disperse itself into billions proves that the individual Bizomos are actually smaller, and it is even possible that it can function as a cell unit, a bit like the nanorobots in science fiction works, except that this is a biological version that functions as a cell unit.

The most important thing for 'nanorobots' to complete the repair work efficiently is coordination, that is, efficient and high-speed information exchange, just like a swarm of drones.

In this case, it is not impossible to build your own information exchange channel.

After all, in Bizomo's setting, he can absorb knowledge from the outside world, thereby iterating and completing his own evolution.

This reminded Chiba Makoto of Gu'a, who was made up of amoebas and was very difficult to deal with. He also showed similar fibrosis phenomenon.

  Could it be that this artificial life form that looks like Bisomo is also like this?

While Chiba Makoto was thinking, the picture shown by Hanajiro came to an abrupt end, and then its eyes stopped emitting beams of light, and its pupils returned to their ordinary state. It meowed, tilted its head, blinked its eyes, and its two big ears swayed, looking extremely cute.

But the images it showed were extremely cruel.

It is not difficult to imagine what happened on this planet. A group of aliens came to this planet in a spaceship. After measuring the environment and finding that it met the requirements, they began to transform the planet. The method should be to use advanced biotechnology to "customize" this artificial life form similar to Bizomo according to the conditions of this planet.

The principle of Bizomo is very simple, which is to absorb a specific gas and convert it into another specific gas.

By converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, you can also convert one gas into another.

This isn't much more difficult than converting formats.

Although both of them are transforming the planet's environment, TPC takes the technological route, while this group of aliens takes the biological route.

What is better and what is worse cannot be explained in a few simple words, nor can it be defined by one or two successes or failures.

But the plan to transform the planet's atmosphere into biological form had clearly failed, and completely.

These aliens may not have done a good job in risk assessment and control, so that the artificial life forms that were supposed to serve them went out of control, devoured them all, and began to reproduce on a large scale, trying to take control of the entire planet.

However, from now on, it is highly likely that it has not been successful, or at least it has not been going smoothly. Otherwise, according to the reproduction speed shown in the images, this planet, which is smaller than the moon, should have been completely under control long ago.

But the reality is that this out-of-control artificial life form gives Chiba Makoto the feeling of being dull, just like an old man in his twilight years, and his reactions are extremely slow.

Otherwise, if this artificial life form still maintained the vitality in the image, then Lomus III would have been surrounded by countless vines as soon as it hit the ground, and would have been eaten up, instead of surviving until now.

The same thing goes for the Victory Eagle. After it fell to the ground, basically no one cared about it. This is not normal no matter how you think about it.

Take the creatures on Earth as an example. All predators have territories. Any foreign enemy invading the territory will be driven away immediately. Only when they are old and weak and unable to defend the territory will they be powerless to stop foreign objects from entering the territory.

What happened in the meantime that caused this artificial life form to fail to complete the coverage of the planet, and even its vitality declined to the point where only passive responses remained.

At this moment, Hanajiro, who had been lying on Asuka Shin's shoulder since he appeared, suddenly flew up. He had no wings and no jet holes, but he just flew up out of thin air, all the way to the top of Asuka Shin's head, turned a corner, and flew away.

"Where are you going?"

Asuka Shin followed and turned around, only to see Hanajiro, who was flying in the air, turned around as if he had heard his voice, and called out "Meow, Yawoo" at Asuka Shin, with his long tail erected and waving like a flag.

"You want me to follow you?"

Asuka Shin listened to the sound and made some guesses. In response, there was another round of "meow, ah-woo" sounds, and then Hanajiro continued to float forward.

Asuka Nobu immediately followed, saying as he walked, "Everyone hurry up and follow it, it's going to take us somewhere."

"???"

Yumimura Ryo had so many questions in his mind that they almost burst out of his head. He was extremely shocked by Asuka Shin's behavior. He just followed a strange creature like that?

Or on a planet full of mysteries and dangers.

  Should we say that he is full of trust in people, or should we say that he has a problem with his brain?

Yumimura Ryo once again felt that it should be the latter.

  Otherwise, why hasn't he counted yet, and is calling on everyone to follow him?

Aren’t you afraid of dragging everyone into the ditch?

Yumimura Ryo felt that Asuka Shin probably didn't think about this and just wanted to follow and see.

But at this time, Qianye Cheng's voice sounded: "Let's go and follow and see."

"Ah, but." Yumimura Ryo was a little hesitant, wondering if this was a bit reckless.

"It's much better than continuing to search aimlessly. Let's go." Xincheng was very open-minded and even followed with the Brest pistol in hand without any hesitation.

Seeing that the three grown men had left, Yumimura Ryo could only sigh and resign himself to his fate, following Shinjo and trudging along the rugged mountain road.

Hanajiro can float no matter what the terrain is, but they can't. They have to rely on their two legs to move forward, and it is quite difficult if the road is steep.

Although Yumimura Ryo was an elite selected through layers of selection and was also very physically strong, the physiological gap could not be made up by hard work. After walking for a while, he was already out of breath, while Shinjo in front of him didn't even sweat.

"How far is it?"

Yumimura Ryo couldn't help asking. She was really tired. She hadn't drunk a sip of water or eaten a bite of food since she set out. She was either running or walking. She was really weak.

"It should not be far away." Chiba Makoto looked around and made a judgment.

Because the surrounding grass and trees were becoming increasingly sparse, the hyphae that originally covered the ground were becoming fewer and thinner. It was obvious that the area ahead was not covered by the artificial life form.

Either it is too weak to cover this area, or there is something restraining it, preventing it from covering this area.

"Where do you think it's taking us?" Xincheng was also observing the surroundings. As they trekked, the terrain changed from forest to hills. Now they were climbing a stone mountain, but this mountain was a little strange. It was grayish-white, a color that Xincheng had never seen before. It was a bit like limestone, but extremely hard. Moreover, the surface of the mountain was relatively flat. Although there were bumps, the unevenness was very low. Xincheng felt like an ant climbing a tree.

Chiba Makoto said casually: "It's probably the landing point of those aliens."

Yumi Murakami, who was following at the back, asked in confusion, "But isn't that place covered by that artificial life form?"

"No, the place where the artificial life form went out of control in the video is not the same as the place where the aliens first landed. I think something went wrong in one of the branch bases during large-scale cultivation, causing the artificial life form to go out of control." Chiba Makoto conducted a comprehensive analysis based on the existing situation.

As they were talking, Asuka Shin, who was in the front, had already climbed to the top of the mountain. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes widened in shock.

"Here, here. Come. Come. Come and see." Asuka Xin was so shocked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, which made others curious about what he had seen that made him so surprised.

Chiba Makoto took a few quick steps and climbed to the top of the mountain. He took a quick look and immediately understood why Asuka Shin was so shocked, because this scene was indeed visually impactful.

There was an endless expanse of darkness ahead, the ground was charcoal-black, and there were explosion craters of all sizes everywhere. In this charred black, there were many aircraft lying in all directions, some big, some small, some intact, and some damaged.

The largest one was the mountain under their feet. After climbing to the top of the mountain, they discovered that the mountain was actually a mostly damaged aircraft inserted into the ground. The smallest one was twenty or thirty meters long and still in pieces, while the intact one was likely to be as long as a hundred meters.

The appearance and shape of these aircraft are exactly the same as the spacecraft falling from the sky that appeared at the beginning of Hanajiro's video.

Among these shattered spaceships were the remains of monsters. Although many of their bodies were broken beyond recognition, they could still piece together their features and figured out that these monsters were probably the Mos Ajax they had just encountered.

Just by looking at so much wreckage and the desolate land, one can imagine how fierce the battle was.

The result is self-evident. Countless monsters and countless spaceships perished together, leaving only the scorched earth, the hills with cut off mountaintops, and the wreckage all over the ground, telling of the tragedy that had happened.

'Meow, ahh'

Hanajiro cried out again, but this time everyone could hear sadness in his voice.

Seeing Hanajiro's big ears drooping and looking very listless, Asuka Shin felt distressed and hurried forward to comfort him.

Xin Cheng took a look at their movements and then turned his gaze to other directions. After a quick scan, he said, "No spores were found. It seems that this is a place that the artificial life form has not been able to control."

"But I now understand why that artificial life form failed to cover the planet and ended up like this," Qianye Cheng pointed at the monsters all over the ground and said, "I'm afraid all the energy it possessed was used to give birth to these monsters."

So many monsters and spaceships are crowded in such a small area fighting a life-and-death battle. The spaceships, in particular, are at a great disadvantage in the close combat with bayonets. However, the spaceships would rather take advantage of their weaknesses than fly far away. It is obvious that they are adhering to the death order.

It is not difficult to guess that these spaceships are fighting so hard because they are obviously guarding something important, either the core of civilization or something that can decide the outcome of the war.

From the distribution of the wreckage of the monster group, it can be seen that these monsters surrounded them from all directions and rushed to the center one after another. It is obvious that the monsters also know that what the aliens have in their hands can determine the outcome of this war, so they charge forward at all costs.

In the end, both sides will suffer losses and perish together.

The aliens lost and failed to win the war before the monsters broke through their defenses, but the monsters didn't win either, because giving birth to so many monsters almost exhausted their energy, leaving them unable to recover and only able to survive.

"Let's go and see if the thing that decides the outcome of the war is still there." Chiba Makoto said as he strode forward, and Shinjo followed him. Yumimura Ryo, who had just rested for a while, couldn't help but sigh and had to follow him. But after just two steps, her eyes were focused. There seemed to be something on the neck of Shinjo who was walking in front of her. (End of this chapter)
