The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 235 Tilt-rotor aircraft

With the cooperation of prefabricated panels and large-scale construction machinery, the construction speed near the scientific research ship was very fast. In one day and one night, several separate cabins were opened up - it just looked a bit inconsistent. How did Lin Yi think it looked like a later generation board house? upgraded version.
Several such "board houses" were quickly built near the hull, and parts of some large mechanical equipment were fed into them from the outside. Later, since these structures did not have windows, Lin Yi did not know the specific process.

During this period, some small machines entered and exited the building. It seemed that some soil, air and other samples were collected and sent back to the cabin for testing.

After that, those large construction machines started a new move again - at the front of the tallest building structure, with almost the entire wall on one side covered with large hatches, a piece of land began to be simply leveled and paved with several blocks. Huge metal plates are assembled into a platform.

Around the platform, more strange equipment was built. Lin Yi vaguely guessed what it was, but was not sure for a while.

Inside the "board room", the sound of mechanical equipment running could be heard. After a while, a huge streamlined man-made structure was pushed out and laid flat in the middle of the wide platform, with two pairs of flat wing-like structures stretched out on its sides. .

There is a special nacelle at the top of the wing-like structure. At the top of the nacelle, three slender structures, probably blades, are slowly unfolding and fixed at an angle, indicating the identity of this large structure.

A tilt-rotor aircraft is an aircraft that can switch between a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft. The representative of later generations is the V-22 "Osprey", a classic aircraft. At this time, the aircraft used by these aliens were obviously more is advanced and complex.

However, this also allowed Lin Yi to further confirm that the other party did not have any black technology similar to anti-gravity. Special aircraft were still needed in the atmosphere. At least it showed that traditional aerodynamic aircraft were a more cost-effective method.

This tilt-rotor aircraft does not have any prominent weapon-like structure on its appearance. The only similarity is that it has a large hatch on its side, with a machine gun-like structure mounted on the hatch.

Moreover, its cabin is wide and seems to be able to play a transportation role. At this time, another group of armed personnel are walking out of the cabin in full gear, protecting several non-combatants and approaching the direction of the tilt-rotor aircraft.

Looking at this posture, it seems that long-distance sampling is to be carried out. As for the specific samples to be collected, from the various welded iron cages that were carried by armed personnel onto the tilt-rotor aircraft, it is not difficult to see that these are intended to be captured alive. .

But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea - the spatial synaptic structure was quite obvious, and if discovered by the other party, it would probably expose the existence of the nest, which would be detrimental to Lin Yi.

For a time, Lin Yi had a bold idea to let the mother nest produce some large creatures that were reproduced one to one, and deliberately be captured by these aliens in order to infiltrate them.

Two of them had special equipment and seemed to be the pilots of the tilt-rotor aircraft, while the rest were most likely scientific researchers, holding observation equipment and boarding the cabin of the tilt-rotor aircraft under the escort of armed personnel.

What's more, it is not a wise choice to rashly give the genes of one's own grade individual to another party, even if it is a grade individual that replicates wild animals one-to-one except for spatial synapses.

As for genetic encryption... Although this is Lin Yi's old profession, after mastering the genetic linguistic technology, he can ensure that the other party cannot analyze the useful results, but in a sense, the failure to analyze the results is the biggest result. .

The genetic sequence of an ordinary wild animal was analyzed and found to have undergone complex editing and encryption. This was not normal no matter how you thought about it, just like when he analyzed the genetic sequence of the "Kraken". If we use microorganisms, although the microscopic version of spatial synapses has already been realized, at the single cell level, there is no suitable sensory system, so entering is in vain and no valuable information can be obtained.

As for methods such as parasitism...it is feasible from a technical level alone. However, maybe the other party is not fully adapted to the composition of the earth's atmosphere, or maybe it is simply cautious. The other party has no intention of taking off the protective clothing, which makes the parasitism even more difficult. The body has no way to start.

As for sticking to the outside of the protective suit and sneaking in, just think about it and you will know that after entering the door, there must be more than one disinfection, and the method is probably unknown to Lin Yi. It is really difficult to sneak in.

Therefore, he could only continue to observe secretly and slowly decipher the other party's radio signals in order to obtain any important information.

While thinking about it, the opponent's tilt-rotor aircraft had completed preparations for takeoff, and the nearby equipment retracted various strange mechanical arms to create an open space.

Immediately, the four sets of three-blade rotors started to spin, creating strong airflow. The huge fuselage slowly lifted off the ground and turned around in the air, with the nose of the aircraft facing a certain direction.

In later generations, the accident rate of dual-rotor Ospreys has remained high. The aliens have the confidence to use more complex four-rotor tilt-rotor aircraft when exploring unknown planets, which means that they must have a complex and mature flight control system that can even be used very quickly. Good adaptability to atmospheres of different densities.

Immediately, after rising to a certain height, the nacelle structure at the end of the wing began to rotate, causing the angle of the rotor to change, changing the overall form from a helicopter to a fixed-wing form, and continued to fly forward.

The whole process must have been assisted by a complex flight control system and was very smooth. There was no difference due to different atmospheric environments. Perhaps the flight control system had automatically adjusted based on the data collected by previous detectors.

Continuing to fly, except for the long-winged diver who was basically dormant, there were no flying creatures over one meter in this era, which allowed the alien aircraft to travel unimpeded.

But what the other party doesn't know is. Along the way, there were a large number of swarms of ancient web-winged flying insects acting as Lin Yi's spies, monitoring the movements of the alien tilt-rotor aircraft.

Its huge body penetrated directly inland, seeming to be heading towards an area where large animals were active. The opponent's space has satellite guidance, so it is not difficult to know where there are large creatures.

The electromagnetic signals continued to spread, and the other party was completely unprepared. The deciphering progressed little by little. Now, Lin Yi could barely hear the meaning of some electromagnetic wave signals, and achieved preliminary eavesdropping.

However, at present, it is not possible to form a complete sentence, so it is still impossible to analyze too much effective information. We can only wait for further perception to completely complete the deciphering.
