Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 322 Silicon-based Life
Although the bodies of Xie Shen and Deng Bin had been destroyed, they were both cultivators in the Fusion and Return to Void stages after all.

Not only do they have spiritual consciousness, but their mental strength is also extremely strong.

At this moment, even though only consciousness was left of the two of them, they could still float freely in the universe.

then.

After a brief discussion, Xie Shen and Deng Bin both flew towards a relatively close planet.

...

Among the stars in the universe.

Xie Shen is flying towards the target planet in the form of a conscious body.

As soon as I came into contact with the planet's atmosphere, I felt a heat wave coming towards me.

He glanced at the combat power detector he always carried with him.

Seeing that the temperature on it was 69.3 degrees Celsius, I couldn't help but complain: "My goodness, the temperature on this planet is too high, isn't it?"

"With such a high temperature, there are still cities and streets on this planet."

“Even high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere.”

“This is outrageous.”

Inside the combat power detector.

After hearing what Xie Shen said, Li Xiu hurriedly added: "As we all know, on a planet with its own atmosphere, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature."

"You are still in the atmosphere, and it is already this hot at such a high altitude."

"Then I think the surface temperature must be even higher."

"Conservatively speaking, it's at least 80-90 degrees Celsius!"

"No way?" Deng Bin said in disbelief, "If the surface temperature is really 90 degrees, then wouldn't all the water be evaporated if the sun shines on it?"

“And flora and fauna.”

"With such a high temperature, can any animals or plants survive on the surface of this planet?"

Conversation room.

The consciousnesses of Xie Shen and Deng Bin have slowly descended to the ground from high in the sky.

——In order not to attract attention, the two of them deliberately chose a secluded place with few people when landing.

On the surface of the planet.

Looking around, the two could observe:

On a grayish-white mud land, there are countless flowers, plants and trees with metallic surfaces.

Among the flowers and plants, the two could occasionally see some birds and animals that also had a metallic appearance.

"This"

Dunbin, the conscious being floating on the surface, was stunned for a while and then expressed his guess.

"Could it be that the intelligent life on this planet has destroyed the environment so much that all the plants and animals on it have become extinct?"

"So they made some metal replicas to replace the originals?"

"But it shouldn't be."

Dunbin then analyzed: "Let's not talk about the intelligent life in this barred spiral galaxy. Their technological level is far ahead of ours. Protecting the environment should not be difficult for them."

"Even if they really have no environmental awareness and really mess up the planet's environment, there is no need to replace metal plants and animals with metal ones."

"Isn't this pure self-deception?"

Deng Bin was complaining here.

Suddenly, Li Xiu in the combat power detector said, "Please turn on the gas detection device in the combat power detector. I want to detect the atmospheric environment on this planet."

The atmosphere?
Although Xie Shen didn't know what Li Xiu's purpose was, he still turned on this function as he was told.

After a few seconds.

All I could hear was an electronic synthesized sound coming from the combat power detector.

[The gas composition in the current environment has been detected to be: 40% carbon dioxide, 25% sulfur dioxide, 20% nitrogen, 10% silane and 5% inert gas. ]

[Evaluation: This planet is extremely unsuitable for human survival! ]

"really."

After learning about the composition of the planet's atmosphere, Li Xiu said, "If I'm not mistaken, the intelligent life on this planet, and even in this barred spiral galaxy, is most likely composed of silicon and silicides."

"That is."

"Silicon-based life!"

"Silicon-based life?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this and asked, "How do you know that?"

"Look." Li Xiu explained: "The atmosphere of this planet is mainly composed of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide."

"Of these two gases, the former can provide an important material basis for the metabolic process of silicon-based life."

"The latter can provide necessary intermediates for its physiological processes."

"And then there is"

Li Xiu continued, "You can see that plants and animals containing silicates or various metal silicides grow everywhere on this planet."

"In the eyes of silicon-based life, these silicon-containing plants are just like the carbohydrates we humans consume every day."

"In addition, the abnormally high temperature on this planet is also extremely suitable for the survival of silicon-based life."

Li Xiu explained: "The silicon-silicon bonds and silicon-oxygen bonds that make up silicon-based life have higher bond energy than us humans."

"Their chemical bonds are much harder to break in high-temperature environments."

"This allows them to survive in warmer environments, and warmer environments make them more active."

I have really broadened my horizons!

Xie Shen was slightly interested when he heard this and asked, "What about the combat effectiveness of silicon-based life forms?"

"Are there any practitioners among them who can absorb extraordinary powers to strengthen themselves like us humans?"

"About the cultivators." Li Xiu said calmly, "Due to insufficient information, I cannot make an accurate judgment for the time being."

"The true strength of silicon-based life forms will only be known after you two personally come into contact with them."

Li Xiu made a bold guess: "Although the technological level of these silicon-based life forms is far ahead of us humans."

"It even created unspeakable creatures."

"But just like where we humans live, there are cities and rural areas."

"When intelligent life comes together, it is likely to form a society."

"Once society is established, it is natural that class divisions and the gap between the rich and the poor will gradually emerge."

Li Xiu analyzed this.

"If the social structure of silicon-based life is really a pyramid as I expected."

"Then we can try to contact the lowest level of them first, and corrupt and recruit them little by little by promising and giving them various benefits, so that they can work for us humans, or we can get various useful intelligence from them."

"After that."

"Once we have established a firm foothold in the silicon-based life society, the room for maneuver will naturally become larger and larger."

"Until the end, until we find out the secrets of the indescribable creatures."

Clear thinking!

After listening to Li Xiu's plan, Xie Shen felt admiration, but soon doubts arose in his mind.

"Your plan is good."

"But this isn't the Milky Way."

"What if the people here don't speak our human language at all?"

"Don't you have spiritual consciousness?" Li Xiu said without hesitation: "If you want to integrate into the society of silicon-based life, you don't necessarily have to pretend to be one of them."

"You can just pretend to be from another world, or to be gods from myths and legends."

"After you have this identity, you can communicate with them with your spiritual sense easily and they will accept you easily."

"That's a good idea!" Xie Shen praised after hearing it: "In this way, when we communicate with silicon-based life forms, not only will we naturally be in a superior position, but the conditions or requests we make in the future will also appear reasonable." "And using spiritual consciousness to communicate can directly bypass the problem of language barriers."

"This method is perfect!"

Li Xiu’s method is good.

But at this moment, Xie Shen and Deng Bin didn't even have a body.

Therefore, the two of them would need to spend ten days or half a month to reshape their bodies before they could start to act according to the plan.

"also."

Li Xiu added, "After you rebuild your body, don't rush to pretend to be a charlatan."

"It's best to spend a few days to get a general idea of ​​the situation on this planet."

"Like local customs, various rules, laws, etc."

"After we figure out everything, we'll get together and discuss the details of the plan."

...

time flies.

half a month later.

Gabriel City, public mother body rental center.

Reception room.

After working hard for eight years, Hope, a silicon-based man, finally saved enough for the down payment on renting the mother body.

So early that morning, he came to the mother rental center in the city center.

- He would use the savings accumulated from eight years of hard work to rent a small area in the pelvis of the common female and deposit his own eggs in it.

In recent years, as the rental price of public mother bodies has been rising continuously, some silicon-based people with financial acumen and spare money have come up with the idea of ​​renting the mother bodies at a low price, waiting for them to appreciate in value, and then reselling them to other silicon-based people at a high price to make money.

This has made the rental market for public mother bodies increasingly hot.

and so.

Even though Hope got up early and arrived at the mother rental center before dawn, he still had to wait in line.

...

in the hall.

Just as buyers were lining up in long queues.

Xie Shen and Deng Bin, who had reshaped their bodies and used the Hidden Sky Technique to conceal their auras, had also gathered here as promised.

"Ugh"

As soon as the two met, Deng Bin couldn't help but speak first.

"Although silicon-based people can neither speak nor hear any sound."

"There is absolutely no way that a fourth person would know what we discussed except Li Xiu."

"But I always feel a little weird about conspiring loudly in public, in front of so many silicon-based people."

“I just feel uncomfortable all over.”

This statement came out.

Xie Shen on the side nodded in agreement.

"Don't tell me, I feel the same way."

"But you'll get used to it slowly."

"The most urgent task right now is to quickly summarize the intelligence we have collected during these days."

"Then let Li Xiu help analyze it."

"Yeah." Deng Bin responded and took the lead again, "Then let me speak first."

"Just like us humans, there are differences between men and women."

"After observing for the past few days, I found that silicon-based people can be roughly divided into three groups."

Dunbin introduced.

"First, it is the largest number of workers among the silicon-based people."

"Workers constitute the lower and middle classes of society, and they do almost all the hard work."

"The life span of most workers is less than 50 years."

Dunbin continued.

"As for those above us, we have the intelligent bodies that make up the upper echelons of society."

"According to the information I have obtained, most intelligent beings can live to be 200 years old, or even 300, 400 or even 500 years old."

"They control most of the resources in society and are mostly engaged in management work."

"Some even do nothing at all, relying on their power to sit back and rely on the hard work of the workers to support them."

"besides."

Dunbin continued, "In addition to the worker bodies and intelligent bodies, silicon-based people also have a very small number of mother bodies that are responsible for childbearing."

"The difference between the intelligent body and the worker body is that the mother body has neither self-awareness nor hands and feet."

"She has no mobility."

"She looks like a giant glass ball."

"The only meaning of her existence is to allow the workers to lay eggs in her body and then give birth to new silicon-based humans."

“That’s what we call reproduction.”

talking.

Deng Bin suddenly took a glance and saw a long queue of silicon-based workers lined up in the mother body rental center.

He said meaningfully: "In order to reproduce the next generation, these industrial silicon-based people are willing to spend a lot of money, even several years or even more than ten years of savings, to rent a small piece of land inside the mother body, just to store their own eggs in it for incubation."

"Uh"

When he said this, Deng Bin suddenly touched the combat power detector hanging on his left ear.

he emphasized.

"I think Xie Shen can easily find out this information."

"So I am saying this now mainly for you, Brother Li."

"So," Deng Bin said to Li Xiu, "Brother Li, if you have anything you want to ask or say, just speak up."

"Ah."

Inside the combat power detector.

Li Xiu responded and then went straight to the point.

"In our human cognition, almost without exception, any individual's reproductive behavior will be rewarded."

"For example, during the reproduction process, the human body produces a large amount of dopamine, which gives them pleasure."

“Then here comes the fun part.”

Li Xiu speculated.

"I think silicon-based people should also be able to get great pleasure from the act of reproduction."

"In pursuit of this pleasure, silicon-based people can give up everything, even more than ten years of savings."

“So in other words.”

Li Xiu directly gave a feasible solution.

"Whoever controls the Matrix, or possesses the Matrix, can control most of the workers among the silicon-based people."

“We can take advantage of this.”

"First, find a way to get a mother body, or imitate a mother body, and then control most of the silicon-based people on this planet."
