4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1921 Questions
"What do you mean we are prey?"
In a small space, a large group of creatures are staring at the round-headed tentacle in the center of the space, and one of the most courageous creatures is asking questions about the tentacle that has killed several companions.
"You need to answer questions to understand."
After that, the tentacle rushed onto the creature's head, and then spread out to wrap it as before.
"Ah! Help!"
The creature was struggling violently, and the two creatures next to it who seemed to be its good "friends" immediately rushed up and tried to pull their tentacles away.
However, at this moment, two cracks were cracked on the roof again, and the other two sharp tentacles pierced instantly, piercing the heads of the two creatures.
"The rebels will be directly regarded as waste products." After the tentacles were finished, they continued to question the horrified creature it wrapped.
The questions it asks are similar to the previous ones. The main question is to ask the creature's level of civilization and technology, and ask the creature to describe the technical products and weapons they often use.
When the creature speaks, the tentacles will further ask about the details of the composition of these products and weapons, the manufacturing process, the materials used, and so on.
This creature, like the previous one, cannot answer in the details, because it is not a professional manufacturer, so it belongs to an individual who only knows how to use products and not how to make products.
As a result, it was also regarded as 'scrap' and was dragged into the crack ...
Seeing the scene in front of me, this group of creatures without any weapons no longer dared to have any counterattacks. They could only shrink there, and then their tentacles appeared again, and they grabbed the next creature.
This creature was also quite frightened. Soon after, Lin saw the cause of her fright. It was also treated as waste because it could not answer the details of the technical product.
Then, the tentacles continued to do similar actions, and this time the creature caught by the tentacles appeared calmer.
It answered the question of the tentacles, but Lin found that the answer it answered was not consistent with the actual situation. The technical products and weapons it described were completely imaginable by her. According to Lin ’s knowledge, the city over the floating rock There is no such weapon.
"The target biological answer is false, and the target will be considered waste."
So, this creature was also captured in a scream.
After this, the tentacle reached out and continued to look for the next goal, this time, it set its goal as ... a scholar.
"It's coming over ..." The scholar immediately said to Lin: "I can tell the truth, I know the details of my civilized product, but ..."
"No need to tell the truth." Lin said: "You just do what I said."
"But it ..."
Before the scholar finished, Lin interrupted it and said, "It can't detect whether you are telling the truth."
"Answer, degree of civilization." At this time, the tentacles were already wrapped around the scholar's head, and it did not seem to distinguish that the scholar was a pure machine rather than an armor.
Then, Lin sent a series of answers to scholars, and Lin asked it to answer a series of fantasy civilized materials, including all weapons products are fake.
However, the technical level of this utopian civilization is similar to that of living creatures living on floating rocks.
"Collect data ... The target answers, valid, and is recognized as a living creature." After listening to the tentacle, the scholar's head was released and he continued to catch other creatures.
"Really can't detect it?" The scholar looked at the removed tentacles and said with some surprise: "How do you know this? And what about the information you just mentioned, it should not be the civilization of the Emerald Dragon."
"I came up with it." Lin said, "I don't care about this first, continue to observe."
"..." The scholar didn't ask much about Wen Yan, but Lin felt it was thinking about something.
Then, the tentacles continued to catch other creatures. Many creatures became calmer after seeing the scholar's successful answer, but some were still frightened.
Either way, they were caught one by one by tentacles, and then asked questions one by one, and many creatures were caught screaming, but some creatures survived.
The first living creature is a technician. Because it is involved in various manufacturing operations, it knows the details of various things.
Moreover, Lin found that there is a 'trick' for answering tentacle questions, that is, when the tentacle asks weapons or other things at the same time, only one thing is answered. Then as long as the details of this kind of thing are answered, it will also pass. , And the tentacle will not continue to mention other things.
So even if you only know one manufacturing specialty, you can answer success.
It's just that some creatures didn't notice this, and they said a lot of words: 'I am this specialization, and I don't know anything else', they are regarded as waste products.
In the end, more than a dozen creatures survived ... only five. If it includes scholars and Lynn ’s mini Susumi, it would be seven.
All five creatures have manufacturing technology, and they seem to be thankful for choosing this major at the time.
From the beginning to the end, the tentacles did not come to ask the mini Susumi anything, maybe because it was too small?
They seem to be very cautious, but they seem to have a lot of ... holes.
"The surviving creatures, you are eligible to join us." Tentacle said in front of all creatures at this time: "Now ... you will know us."
After speaking, the tentacles retracted into the gap, and the white wall on the side of the room suddenly burst out.
With this sound, the wall slowly rose, and what appeared behind the wall was a ... huge 'platform'.
"Here……"
Creatures, including scholars, left the narrow room with surprise and stepped on the platform.
The ground beneath them is a white metal structure that extends all the way to the farthest point of view.
Lin felt that there should be hundreds of kilometers or more, and what Lin paid more attention to was slowly flying several huge flying objects on this platform.
These flying objects are generally spherical, and the whole body is covered with a layer of ice crystal-like shell, and one or two huge antennae protrude from the shell.
They are ... Void buses.
Looking at the front, Lin then looked up. A dense starry sky can be seen above, and there are many flying objects under the starry sky. They are almost white and have various shapes. There are no fixed specifications.
"We are hunting." At this time, the tentacle sounded again: "Find suitable creatures, capture them, understand them, record them ..."
"For ... a victory."
