Chapter 48 Discovery
A small-scale coup was accompanied by a fierce battle, from the restaurant to the shooting range, from the living area to the armed area, and finally ended in victory. A certain combat priest was beaten by an inhumane group, and dozens of people participated in the torture and killing. Even ordinary people who were not familiar with him secretly kicked a few times to express their support for the participants of the coup.
Lin Jing, who was watching the whole time and always pulled the female swordsman who wanted to persuade the fight to watch the fun together, said, "Well, the fight was very lively, everyone was very happy, and the pressure accumulated for a day was relieved. I hope to organize several more similar activities every day in the future, and the more intense the fight, the better. Anyway, the more motivated the fight, the happier the people watching the fun."
"Damn it, it's just a little joke. You guys are so cruel, especially you, damn Dark, did you take the opportunity to glare at Sassa? No, this is not the point. Did you use the fighting twice secretly, it hurts me to death." Rubbing his sore waist, Shuer followed a group of lively guys back to the entertainment room, and he never stopped complaining along the way, "And you, you deer, don't think I didn't see it. You happily pulled Sassa and didn't let her come to save me. It's better for my Sassa. I know to stop and stop, Sassa, don't knock it, it's already swollen, oh."
The tragic sacrifice brought a happy atmosphere. As for the problem of food ingredients... Although moss is not in normal people's recipes, this is a different world. Just think that moss from another world is more delicious.
"Is it really moss?" Moria secretly approached Shuer's ear while no one was paying attention and asked with a smile, "I have never heard of moss, which can grow in large quantities. If moss is used as raw material, most soldiers in the fortress will starve to death."
"Ha, who knows?" Xiuer smiled mysteriously and shrugged without objection, "After all, I don't understand the language of the other world that is too complicated, hahahaha."
Yes, what raw material does not seem to be that important. Some things are too clear, but they are a burden. Let it become an eternal mystery. However, the winged man looked at it and seemed a bit sinister. Are you making any bad ideas? The more Shuer looked, he became more and more nervous. He quickly covered his wallet and took a few steps back, avoiding Yuri's sight, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the living area, Shuer arranged a task for all ordinary people, and everyone except the eight high-level mercenaries had to do it. Everyone went to the shooting range in batches to practice shooting of local weapons, and at least they had to learn how to replace bullets and shoot correctly.
No one has any objection to this. Everyone knows in their hearts that this is giving them more self-protection ability in this dangerous world. It is definitely not possible to rely on combat personnel. Sometimes personnel are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is more safer to have combat capabilities.
Therefore, Shuer deliberately asked Wei to send two mechanical puppets to teach everyone how to use firearms. This kind of thing does not require dialogue, and it will be clear if you demonstrate it a few more times. The workers and scholars are in high spirits. After all, the opportunity to fight against the enemy like a warrior is not common. Everyone thinks it is particularly new. Even the two seriously injured people who were barely able to stand up just now under the treatment of advanced local treatment technology.
Especially Mia's assistant, the old wizard named Fusen, was depressed by Mia, and she looked listless, as if she had suffered so much grievance. As a result, when she saw something new, she immediately became cute and almost dismantled the guns in her hand into parts as soon as possible. As for the others, several people were beaten by stray bullets from their companions and screamed. Forget it, anyway, the ammunition here is all for training ammunition, not metal warheads, but a hard rubber object, with little lethality, so let them remember the lesson with their bodies.
The eight of Shuer and the others did not join in the fun. The attack power of the warriors was much stronger than that of the guns, especially the high-level warriors. It was a waste to let them use guns. Therefore, no one went to the shooting range to join in the fun. Instead, he tacitly returned to the unmanned restaurant and concentrated in a corner. Some news that is not suitable for ordinary people to know is also time to communicate.
"Yulie, you've been playing with those two machines today. Is there anything wrong with them?" Seeing that everyone had returned to their seriousness, Shuer nodded and was the first to speak.
"Hey? You can still play with machines? The taste is so unique."
"Moriya..." It seems that not everyone has entered the state, at least a certain Lin Jing...Okay, maybe this is the manifestation of having already entered the state.
"It's so exciting, they're so great." Uli, the winged man, waved his white fists excitedly, and the feathers on his wings were almost blowing up. "I saw a lot of interesting things."
"You... forget it." Thinking of the fact that the Winged Man is not as reassuring as Lin Jing, Shuer simply gave up the reminder and just instructed him, "Don't forget your job."
"Don't worry, I can't forget. I have been paying attention to the safety of the fortress, especially in the air. If the air force appears, I will discover it as soon as possible."
"Okay, then let's talk about the main business." Shul signaled to Militi, "Mia and Dark have had a good harvest today. The corpse should be handed over to you. You are a life science expert. How about it? It depends on your worry all night. Do you have any new discoveries about the bugs?"
"Well, I found a lot of problems." Militi did show a worry and sighed, "These bugs are very different from the creatures we know. I hope you can be mentally prepared, don't be too surprised or panic."
Panic? Will high-level mercenaries who have experienced many battles panic about this? The mercenaries looked at each other and didn't know why the Necromancer was so serious, but in order to show respect for her, everyone nodded and did not question it.
Except Moria.
"Let me talk first. I also found a rather strange problem in the fungi brought back by Mia and the others. I think it should be related to Militi's discovery." Moria said first, "I said less, and it should help everyone understand Militi's discovery. Oh, at least I think that's the case."
Militi was not dissatisfied with it and nodded naturally. Then Shuer made a gesture to Moria.
"I have seen the fungus blankets I brought back and tried to communicate with my racial talent. The final result was that they were not plants at all."
Well? The fungus blanket is not a plant? It has a lichen-like appearance and a mycelium structure with a closer look. It is not a plant? Could it be an animal? Everyone was a little confused for a moment.
"They do have certain plant properties, but they are not plants in the pure sense. They should be said to be... half plants and half animals. I don't know how to explain it. Well, just treat it as part of the physiological structure extended to the outside world by some kind of organism, but with a strong plant character."
"I understand, it is actually similar to the shell of a turtle. It looks like a mineral, but it is actually part of an animal." Shuer understood Moria's idea and said thinking, "In other words, the thing we dug back is actually the body of some kind of insect. Since it is not a plant, can you analyze it?"
"It is indeed not a plant, and I don't know what kind of organism it is, but the plant characteristics are very strong, so I can still barely analyze it." Moria explained. "First of all, the source of nutrients is unknown, but they can grow like real fungi and provide energy to the eaters like real plants. According to my estimate, it should be the food source of some plant-eating insects in the insect swarm. It can even be assumed that it is the food source of most insects, which is the bottom layer of the food chain."
"Well, understandable, you keep going."
"The second discovery is unknown, but it has extremely strong energy conductivity and bidirectional conductivity. If you explain it in detail, it can not only absorb energy from the outside world and transmit it to the organism itself, but also disperse energy from the organism to the outside world. This is a very rare phenomenon for plants. As for whether it is common to living organisms, it depends on Militi's judgment."
"Is there any?" Shuer listened very seriously, "From your expression, there should be some point."
"Yes, the third discovery is that it can secrete a liquid. Do you remember the very smooth feeling when we step on it? It is caused by secretions. Liquids seem to have no effect except lubrication, but that is because they only work on specific objects, haha, they are inanimate living organisms."
"Inanimate life form?" Shuer was stunned. Looking at the others, no one seemed to react, "What is that?"
"It's the corpse." Militi frowned and explained, "Puppets and elemental creatures do not count, but the corpses of normal physical creatures."
"Well, liquid has no effect on living things, but once the body dies, liquid will corrode the corpse like digesting food, converting it into energy for the bacterial blanket to absorb. The conversion efficiency and absorption efficiency are amazingly high, even more than 90%. Moreover, the corrosion rate is extremely fast. It is expected that a complete human corpse will only take ten minutes, and even bones will not be left. If the corpse is separated scattered, the speed will be faster. Five minutes? Three minutes? This is not yet certain."
"Hiss, no wonder those bugs tear all the bodies into small pieces." Shuer said astonished. "I thought they did this to completely kill the enemy. Now it seems that it is to allow the bacteria blanket to absorb faster."
"Everything is understandable now." Moria's discovery made everyone confused, but Militi, who seemed to have figured out some difficult problems. "It's really an interesting system, a race that exists for survival and expansion. However, it will always consume some energy. If there is no fighting, what should I use to supplement it?"
"What are you talking about?" Shuer asked.
