Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 91: The Remains of the Old Era
Still nothing was found in the past few days, Yuanze could only pack up the equipment he had put there and continue heading north to the last area where they might exist, which was one of the original human tourist destinations.

When the sun shines on the island, it looks like it is surrounded by a golden halo. The sea water in contact with the beach is also dyed into a mixture of yellow and green. The surging ocean in the distance washes its deep blue into the beach.

If you go further north on the island, you will reach the most dangerous core area of ​​the FLB zone, where Cebu, the second largest city in the entire archipelago, once stood. It was also the final destination of the navigator Magellan’s dream.

Yuanze and Huihua came to Bohol Island.

The scenery here is still as beautiful as in the books, but there are fewer tourists coming and going. The two of them seem like uninvited guests, and a little intrusive.

Yuanze kept traveling through the forest and saw the famous "Chocolate Hills" and the remains of a large number of human buildings.

So many years have passed, and the area has been covered by lush tropical vegetation, and there is no way to erase the traces of human habitation here decades ago.

They may lie on the wet ground in a swaying manner, or they may still stand upright, but they are all tightly wrapped in mosses and vines, wearing the green clothes given by nature.

The outline of the building has become blurred due to natural erosion. Occasionally, a piece of rusty steel bar or broken glass is revealed among the ruins, like a witness of history, quietly telling the past glory and decline.

Seeing this, Yuan Ze's heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling of emotion. He remembered the former glory of mankind and their plunder and destruction of this planet.

However, nature has infinite power. It devours everything in the past of mankind, but gives birth to newer and more powerful life.

Yuan Ze continued to repeat his previous work on this island, feeling a little disappointed. If they couldn't find it here either, then they would have to return empty-handed.

"Astra, tell me, how did the Japanese take photos of those tarsiers last time?"

Yuanze and Huihua searched the equipment of those they killed and found that they had also discovered similar tarsiers here, as well as a video with detailed text records.

"

Archival Record: Source Beast - Light and Shadow Monkey
This is the second time it has been discovered by humans. It is an extremely rare source beast, based on the tarsier. It has a small body, long and flexible limbs, and a slender and elastic tail. The most notable feature is its huge eyes that sparkle with dazzling golden light.

The specific ability is unknown, but it is related to photons and has super concealment ability...

"

Astra changed into a swimsuit, put on sunglasses, crossed his legs, and lay in the air: "Didn't the record say that? They originally wanted to capture a source beast with abilities related to photons, but they almost caught the light-eyed monkey by accident. Otherwise, why would I join the photon detection?"

Yuanze stretched himself. Whether it was insect search or infrared camera, he still had to wait for them to operate for a while. Besides, its appearance had been recorded in the video. Astra had also simulated its possible concealment ability. He didn't have to worry at all.

A few days passed like this, and Yuanze finally captured its trace with the help of instruments. Abnormal fluctuations of photons appeared in a small area.

Yuan Ze rushed there quickly and retrieved the data from the instrument. After Astra's analysis, he had a better understanding of the Light and Shadow Monkey's abilities.

Its entire body is covered with absorbers of photons of different energies. If all the absorbers are turned off, all visible light photons can penetrate the body, thus achieving invisibility.

If the absorber is turned on, it can absorb the energy of the photon and then emit a biophoton beam through the biolaser in the eye.

Although their level is very low, their stealth ability is very strong and the energy level of the photon beam is relatively high, so those insects are easily preyed upon.

"It's not simple yet."

Yuanze turned on his enhanced vision, and this time he could see a wider spectrum of light, which means he could see more diverse colors. Soon, Yuanze saw their traces, and they found that Yuanze could find them easily, so they hid in the ruins of a human building.

Judging from the outline and scale of this ruins, it can be roughly judged that it was a bustling shopping mall.

Now, broken walls and rusty iron gates can be seen everywhere, and the hustle and bustle of the past has been replaced by the chirping of insects.

These clever monkeys seemed to have found a new home, and they used the remains of human buildings and the plants growing inside to reproduce and thrive there.

He picked his way carefully through pieces of shattered glass and collapsed walls, weaving between the bushes in the remains of the mall.

These light and shadow monkeys thrived in this ruin. Yuanze was not careless at all, but they were still able to escape his pursuit.

In this way, Yuanze started a fierce chase with the light and shadow monkey in this ruin, sometimes climbing the towering walls, sometimes passing through narrow gaps, and sometimes jumping into the dark basement.

Finally, after countless chases, Yuanze finally realized that they seemed to be deliberately leading him in a certain direction, and he returned to search every corner of the ruins that he had left behind.

Finally, behind a wall covered with vines and mosses, Yuanze found their nest. If you don't search carefully, it's hard to find its existence.

Yuanze hid behind a shabby shop, wiped the dusty glass, and looked at them through the glass.

Compared to the video, the eyes appear even more exaggerated in proportion to the face. Their huge eyes sparkle with dazzling golden light, like two shining gems.

What troubles Yuanze is that because he wants to take the animals back for experiments, he must ensure that the captured animals are unharmed during the capture process.

After some thought, Yuanze made a simple photon emission trap and a "blackbody-like" cage under the guidance of Astra.

By manipulating the insects they love to eat to lure them into a "safe" source of photon signals, they then use a "blackbody-like" cage to directly block their ability to use photons.

After the arrangement was completed, Yuanze and Astra each manipulated a small group of insects to lure them.

This operation is as exciting as flying an airplane in a game, requiring players to constantly dodge the photon beam attacks from the monkey. If you are unfortunately hit, you will fall like a plane, smoking and finally being swallowed.

Most of them were full and resting on the branches. The few remaining insects attracted only two monkeys. The two monkeys were very curious about the source of the photon signal in front of them and walked straight in.

Yuanze quickly activated the trap mechanism, and several beams of light trapped the monkey tightly. Then the "black body" trap was also triggered, and together with the anesthetic, it took effect and finally caught them.

"You have such a strong learning ability. The source beast that trapped you last time used its ability on you once, and you were able to replicate it?"

Astra looked at the beam cage and thought it looked familiar, but he didn't remember it until Yuanze put away his tools.

"Hahaha, after being with me for such a long time, don't you know that my learning ability is my trump card?"

Yuanze smiled and said, "Let's call it a day, let's go!"
