Deep Space Fleet

Gandora-3, a planet with a low gravity environment but a dense atmosphere.

Planets with such geological features are not uncommon in the universe. For example, the mass of Venus in the solar system is only 0.8 times that of the earth, but the mass of the atmosphere is 93 times that of the earth, and the density of the atmosphere is 100 times that of the earth!

The same is true for the planet Gandora-3. Its gravity environment is relatively low, but its atmosphere is quite dense, about three times the standard atmospheric pressure of the earth. Its high oxygen content is very suitable for the survival of large life forms.

The evolution process of this planet is somewhat similar to the age of dinosaurs during the Cretaceous period of the earth. Huge reptiles can be seen everywhere on the planet.

There are some creatures that can even reach a mass of hundreds of tons, veritable giants.

Especially among these reptiles, people have discovered a life form similar to the "giant dragon" in Western myths. Combining these reasons, it has become a very famous tourist attraction in the new human civilization.

"The volume and quality of life are usually proportional to the oxygen content. Planets with higher oxygen concentrations can support larger organisms. Because the atmosphere is denser, more oxygen can be inhaled in one breath."

"This planet is moderately far from the central star, and the temperature is maintained at 30 degrees Celsius for a long time. It is the most perfect place for the birth of life."

"It's really hard to imagine that in the distant Large Magellanic Cloud, we can actually find a planet that is in the age of dinosaurs!"

The students were wearing power armor, discussing in one go.

He wanders through this nature reserve, visiting unique landscapes. Because the air pressure here is relatively high, under normal circumstances, people will not breathe the air here, otherwise they may have discomfort reactions such as drunken oxygen, which can be regarded as a small regret.

They shuttled through the jungle and saw all kinds of messy and unheard of creatures. Obviously, this was a very fresh trip.

"Buzz!"

A group of insects flew over, they looked a bit like mosquitoes, with pointed mouthparts and hideous faces. Unlike mosquitoes on Earth, these insects are bigger than a human fist!

Tourists shy away from these gigantic insects.

One of the insects was a little tired from flying, and it landed on top of a girl's power armor helmet, rubbing its two forelimbs.

It is looking at this layer of transparent glass cover, as if wondering if its mouthparts can penetrate this layer of glass.

"If you get blood sucked by this kind of mosquito, you will die right away?" The girl stood there motionless, her face pale, "Help me!"

"You can do an experiment, let it suck a mouthful of human blood, and it will be poisoned to death immediately."

"I found that the flying creatures here are more bulky, probably because the air pressure is relatively high, so they can't fly very fast."

"Atmospheric pressure, after flapping the wings, the force of the wind will be stronger. It is said that the ATP content of the cells in these organisms is very high."

Men and women stared at the mosquito, as if wanting to catch it for experiments.

Seeing that no companion took care of her, the girl with a mosquito on the helmet felt like crying. She could only bite the bullet, raised her hand and waved, threatening, and the mosquito finally flew away lazily. It is not very interested in this kind of stone-like thing.

Suddenly, Lin Yueyue, who was walking in the front, said, "Shhh, don't make any noise, there seems to be snoring."

"My God! A giant dragon is sleeping on the ground!"

Below the hillside, there is a dark brown creature about 7 meters in length!

Unlike the dinosaurs, some of the reptiles here evolved huge, powerful wings that allowed them to glide briefly through the air.

Some species are even capable of spitting acid from their stomach pouches to attack enemies.

So according to these settings similar to those in fantasy novels, people call it "dragon".

These giant dragons look huge but not heavy. On the one hand, the gravity of this planet itself is relatively low, only about 0.8 times that of the earth; on the other hand, the increase in atmospheric pressure means that after flapping the wings, the buoyancy of the air also increases. get bigger.

For the needs of flight, the bones in the dragon's body are hollow, and together with some unique biological structures, the mass of the entire body is effectively reduced.

"Looking at its size, it's more than enough to carry a person's weight. Maybe we can ride on it?"

"Do you want to catch it back?" The boy began to try to challenge this giant dragon, and even wanted to become a glorious dragon knight. Maybe this thing can really be domesticated?

"Do you have a capture order? It's against the law to capture animals indiscriminately." A girl sneered, "And take it back to the base, and you're responsible for cleaning up the shit you pull out?"

The faces of these boys turned dark, and they all looked at the leader, Lin Yueyue.

"Okay, I'll ask the adults first, if they need to study dragons, then get them back; if they don't, then there's nothing I can do, I'm too lazy to help you with any dragons, and I don't want excrement to pollute the whole place. base"

Lin Yueyue, who has great powers, quickly contacted the headquarters, and then applied for permission in this area. She said with a smile: "I have passed it. It just so happens that the nearby biology laboratory needs a reptile for experimentation. Please ask us for help."

"Roar!"

"marvelous!"

The process of arresting it was actually very simple. A tranquilizer shot was fired, and the dragon, which was already sleeping, was paralyzed on the ground unconsciously. Immediately afterwards, an anti-gravity spaceship flew over from the sky and transported the dragon back.

The dragon suddenly woke up, and it found itself in an inexplicable place.

The floor under his feet was extremely hard, and there was an invisible object in the sky that collided a few times and seemed unable to fly out.

This is treasure? !

In front of it was an iron metal ball the size of a human head.

The dragon frantically played with the silvery metal ball and bit it with its teeth. It instinctively likes these things, and even forgets its own situation a little while playing.

"Roar!"

Half an hour later, the door of the laboratory opened, and an excavator came in. This robot was designed to challenge the dragon's combat power and test its physical data.

At first the dragon wanted to run away, but after the excavator used an electromagnet to suck away its metal ball, it developed a real rage.

The two sides scuffled together.

But soon, the giant dragon was defeated angrily.

No matter how powerful it is, its strength is not as strong as that of an excavator, and its tonnage is not as large as that of an excavator.

Coupled with gnawing with teeth, spitting stomach juice is completely ineffective against excavators, so this giant dragon quickly realized that this guy in front of him was almost invincible, and it started to run away, not even wanting the metal ball

This series of tests left everyone dumbfounded. They didn't expect this guy to have a certain amount of intelligence.

Dinosaurs on the earth were not smart, with large heads and small brains. According to scientific speculation, the IQ of dinosaurs was not high; but the giant dragons here are obviously more intelligent.

"It's very interesting, there is really a possibility of domestication!"

In the blink of an eye, it was already the seventh day since the dragon was captured.

"IQ test, the result came out that it has the IQ of about 6-year-old human beings, and has a certain understanding ability. It is considered to be a smarter type of reptiles!"

"In the previous series of tests, it knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It actually failed in the competition of physical strength. In the previous competitions, it has never encountered such a thing. It is really a little panicked. It's lost, so now it will run away when it sees the excavator. And in the process of fighting, it will outflank the excavator's butt."

"On the other hand, its flying ability will be blocked by an invisible cover in mid-air. After hitting the glass about 12 times, it understood this and stopped hitting the glass, which proved its superior IQ."

"I didn't understand until I hit the glass 12 times. Is this also called IQ superiority?" Hearing this conclusion, one of the boys was a little puzzled.

"Of course, its intelligence is not comparable to that of humans, but there are many animals that need to be hit for several days before they can understand that there is a glass wall here."

"We have obtained its blood sample. You can release it, and of course you can do some experiments you want." After the superhuman scientist obtained the data he wanted, he answered these questions and looked after himself. Earth consciousness upload left.

Before leaving, he dropped a piece of iron, which glistened in the sun.

The dragon quickly put the iron piece in its mouth, it likes shiny things.

The main reason is that these organisms will eat some metals to obtain trace elements in them. It's just a pity that their planet can't find too many shiny things at all, so this hobby has not been well satisfied.

It hesitated for a while, but decided to hide this piece of iron in a small corner, feeling extremely happy in its heart.

In this strange place, it often does some strange things, but it is generally satisfactory. In addition, the food here is actually not bad. It is a very happy thing for animals to be able to eat enough every day.

"Roar!"

It growled.

No, as a family of giant dragons, it shouldn't bow its head because of a little substance.

Kind of want to mate.

After the transhuman scientists left, there was a large wave of traditional humans left in the lab, all young students, chattering around the dragon. Traditional humans actually retain a high degree of autonomy, and superhumans will not take care of most of their actions.

"Now, this dragon belongs to us!"

"I'll give you a fleshy fruit." A boy walked into the glass laboratory carelessly, relying on the power armor on his body, he even patted the dragon's body.

"Roar!"

The dragon was a little angry, and then swallowed this strange fruit with an infinite fragrance into its mouth.

It smells so good!

The dragon flapped its wings a few times. It was a little tired and just wanted to sleep.

What is this cunning creature trying to do? Why don't you leave?

"If you perform fire-breathing in your mouth, I will give you a fleshy fruit."

"Roar!"

"Okay, Jiang Fan, don't tease it. How can an ordinary creature breathe fire? You feed it quickly, and it even drools." Several girls couldn't understand this behavior of molesting animals.

They felt that the dragon should be released instead of being locked up here to play with.

It is impossible for people to stay here for a long time, how could it be possible to domesticate this creature? It is not realistic to take it away through a spaceship. Without the help of superhumans, it is really troublesome to raise an alien creature. It is necessary to control biological pollution and prevent it from getting sick, etc., a lot trouble.

Lin Yueyue was whispering to her companions, "Which planet shall we travel to next?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"How is Meow?"

"Forget about that. Do you want to suck meow?"

Meow Star is a planet with a very strange local culture, and it is also a famous tourist planet, where there is an ordinary civilization of perishers.

If it's just that, it won't arouse people's great interest. The most unique thing is that every household in this civilization raises a furry animal - "meow".

Even the legal status of this cute animal is higher than that of intelligent species!

The law stipulates that: discrimination and abandonment of cats are not allowed; cats are not allowed to be hungry, and cats must be fed six times a day; Feces are used to make food; when you see a cat, you must praise it sincerely.

All in all, cat laws are just weird.

Up to now, the new human civilization is still unclear whether the ruling class of the meow star is a meow or a native intelligent creature. Even, a small group of human beings suggested to define "meow" as an evil parasitic life form. Of course, most people think that this is just an ordinary creature.

"Boys probably don't want to go to Meow Star, they just like this big, rough creature, and they just want to be dragon knights in their heads. They may stay here for a few more days."

From the girl's point of view, this lizard is just an ordinary creature. For some reason, after discovering it, the boys cheered happily, as if they had found some great toy. Maybe this is the difference between men and women?

A boy retorted: "Ordinary? This is not the same, this species seems to have evolved its own language! And, the legend of the dragon knight, don't you know? The dragon knight! Now I will conquer it! And Aren't you going to Meow Planet to suck meow? Cough cough!"

"Dragon Knight?" Lin Yueyue frowned, slightly disgusted.

However, boys think differently from girls, which is understandable.

In the end where to travel, you can discuss with each other, where to play is not to play?

"How's your self-awareness diary going?"

"Well?" Faced with this difficult problem, some people hesitated.

This is the main task of life, and it is also a huge problem.

Lin Yueyue shook her head and stopped meddling in her own business: "Forget it, I don't care about your own affairs."

"Our artificial intelligence has entered the language of the dragon, but I would like to remind you in advance that their language is very simple and cannot understand too difficult movements. After all, this guy is not very intelligent and has a very bad temper. It is Those who eat meat, don't provoke me."

"I got it, I got it, Sister Yueyue, just go about your business and leave us alone, as long as you wear power armor, it can't hurt us!"

This guy walked over carelessly and entered the glass laboratory.

Seeing the little man beside him kept saying strange things and teasing it, the giant dragon stared over.

"This word should mean provocation. Males of this species will compete with each other to provoke each other." The boy played a recording.

"Aww! Quack!"

When the dragon was provoked, its wings fluttered and its eyes widened

Can't deal with excavators, can't deal with you? !

It bit the short human next to it with one bite.

There was a loud "click", and several teeth fell out.

"Wow, this dragon dares to bite me!!" Seeing that my whole head was bitten into the mouth of the dragon, and the glass helmet was bearing the terrifying force of the dragon's bite, the friction between the two sides produced a sharp "creak" sound. The boys couldn't help but panic a little.

Even though the helmet was quite strong, I was still quite panicked from the bottom of my heart, and cold sweat broke out all of a sudden!

In the next second, his whole body was lifted into the air by the giant dragon, his limbs shaking and waving.

"Ah!" The girls all started screaming loudly.

"Use the anesthesia needle!"

Hanging in mid-air, the boy grasped the dragon's jaw with hands in power armor, trying to pry it open. The high-performance power armor finally came in handy at this moment. The dragon only felt a huge force coming from the jaw, and two of its teeth collapsed.

"Click" and let him go again.

"Fuck!" The boy got up from the ground cursing, and he found that his body was covered with disgusting saliva.

The dragon was concentrating, trying to find the weak point of this guy.

The two sides began a tense confrontation.

The boy slowly retreated from the danger zone.

When the people who came saw this scene, they all laughed and said, "Wang Chuan, you look delicious! Are you stunned?"

"Is there any crack in your glass helmet? Oh, it's all right, not even a tooth mark. It's very strong."

The boy named Wang Chuan was a little annoyed, he raised the muzzle of the gun on the right, and sprayed out a scorching flame. This is also the defense equipment that comes with the Power Armor. In the frightening environment just now, I forgot to use it.

The dragon quickly flapped its wings, moved aside, and screamed in horror.

"Roar!"

The fear of flames is a beast's instinct, even if it is such a huge creature, it will still feel quite painful when encountering scorching flames.

The previous forest fire killed an unknown number of animals. Except for intelligent life that could overcome instinct and control the flames, the rest of the beasts had written this regulation deep in their genes.

"Don't torture it! It's an experiment!"

"Don't burn it!"

"It was you who went over to provoke it yourself, why are you blaming others now?"

Facing the censure of everyone, Wang Chuan could only put away the flame gun. His chest rose and fell, and it was really embarrassing for so many girls to lose face so much.

"Here you are." A girl threw a "flesh fruit" at the dragon to comfort her.

This kind of fruit is produced by the plants of the Green Leaf Alliance. It tastes a bit like raw meat. It has a lot of nutrients, especially protein, and is specially used to feed this carnivorous creature.

The dragon sniffed it and swallowed it in one gulp.

A group of people pointed around the giant dragon again. The powerful power armor gave them enough courage.

To be honest, tearing up the dragon is actually not difficult.

Some people want to be dragon riders, and some people even want to get a little blood and ask metahumans to modify its genes.

"If the size can be reduced to the size of a dog, there is no doubt that it can become a new type of pet."

"I think more dragons should be captured, and we will all be dragon knights in the future!"

"Who is calling for the Dragon Rider?"

"The Dragon!"

These boys were all eager to try, provoking the giant dragon lying on the ground. It's just a pity that at this distance, I don't have any strength at all. I can't fight, I can't escape, I can't bite, what are these damn little people? !

"Roar!" The dragon aggrievedly gave up his mating rights

Seeing the excited faces of these people, Lin Yueyue couldn't help shaking her head, secretly feeling that appearance, an illusory thing, actually played such a big role at this moment.

Just because this guy looks a bit like a mythical dragon, humans love it.

Just because the cats among the cats are cuter, the legal status of this species is higher than that of native intelligent life!

"It also proves that our thinking is actually immature."

"Using this method to allocate attention is not ideal and unqualified. The fifth-level civilization needs to face all kinds of aliens, and the thinking should be more fraternal and broader."

What's more, this planet, Gandora-3, actually has intelligent species.

Generally speaking, human beings use multiple judgment methods such as using flames, forming words, and using tools to verify whether a species belongs to intelligent life.

That is to say, Gandora-3 has a primitive wisdom community that entered the Stone Age.

But the appearance of this intelligent species is not good-looking, a bit like a hybrid of vultures and monkeys, coupled with the existence of non-contact regulations, human beings do not interfere much with them.

That is to say, superhuman scientists conducted a secret investigation and sorted out a large amount of information. Traditional humans, including students like them, don't have much interest at all, and don't even care about it, and don't even bother to write social reports.

"This is definitely not right. Is beauty the same as justice? Of course not."

Lin Yueyue clicked on a document, which showed a video shot by a robot: In a certain corner of the planet, indigenous intelligent species were fighting with giant dragons. The cruel living environment of primitive civilization.

Where is the good time?

However, few people know, let alone care.

Just because this intelligent species is not very good-looking, most of the students are not willing to investigate, but instead focus on the giant dragon.

"It's not normal, it's not right."

Lin Yueyue felt a little restless after watching this thrilling war, so she closed the video.

"Yueyue, what's the matter?" A girl also took a few glances: "Ah, why are you looking at this again?"

"From a scientific point of view, we only pay attention to this species. Well, I suddenly feel that human beings are a bit hypocritical. Whether it is the preference for cats and dogs, or the preference for giant dragons, they are all constrained by genes. Humans have experienced this before. stage, isn't it?"

"Hey, yeah."

Lin Yueyue said: "What we think is good or bad is actually meaningless in the face of the facts. I am firmly opposed to forming a protected area or domesticated area here to protect the so-called giant dragons. Another species is a disaster."

"Why are you talking about this suddenly? I don't think superhumans should set up a protection zone here. As long as superhumans don't set up a protection zone, we won't spend much effort. And in the competition for survival on this planet, reptiles have the upper hand "

This girl is also a person who likes to think. She paused for a while and said: "The history is really wonderful. In the Cretaceous period of the earth, reptiles and mammals lived together on the same planet. And mammals were Reptiles are suppressed miserably, they are in the lower reaches of the food chain, and they can only eat vegetarian food or some insects."

"If it wasn't for a meteorite that suddenly attacked the earth and made all the dinosaurs extinct, how could mammals rise and humans would not be born."

"So, what about the native intelligent creatures here? How will they develop in the future? It's really worrying."

Lin Yueyue sighed, "Yes, it's not optimistic. As long as we don't eliminate the giant dragons, they won't be able to rise in a short period of time. Of course, we won't do this. What will happen to the evolution in the next tens of millions of years? So, we can't speculate"

When it comes to competition between species, the topic certainly seems a bit heavy. No matter which side is supported, it is unfair to the other side.

Fortunately, they don't feel much moral guilt because of the "no-touch policy."

Lin Yueyue glanced at the boys who were still training the dragon, and immediately lost interest.

She returned to her room and recorded the unique emotion in her heart.

This is an important part of self-knowledge even if there are not many people who do this job honestly.

"This kind of moral guilt, to put it bluntly, is hypocrisy. It makes us very capable and needs to take on more responsibilities. Generally, it is not, we are just ordinary people."

"The current era can be regarded as the least hypocritical era for human beings. Superhumans don't seem to have this kind of emotion, that is, traditional humans still retain it, but under the constraints of some systems, this emotion has been weakened a lot."

"Weakened does not mean there is no. If we are allowed to control power, we may destroy many low-level civilizations. This is the main reason for sublimating into superhumans."

Lin Yueyue held her head and began to think about the topic of "why people are hypocritical".

No way, after thinking for a long time, she could only turn to her assistant artificial intelligence for help again.

"The answer is very simple. First, human beings communicate with their mouths, not brain waves. The mouth is controlled by the brain, so the mouth will say what the brain tells it to say. This may not be the truth, it may also be a lie."

"Why are there lies?"

"In order to increase the probability of survival, even monkeys can lie. However, after sublimating into a superhuman, this ability can basically be canceled. In order to increase the efficiency of communication, lies are no longer needed."

"In addition to this, there is a second point. Human beings are the carriers of desires, and they are born full of emotions and desires. However, reality cannot allow human beings to do whatever they want. Therefore, the constant conflict between inner desires and the helplessness of reality has caused human beings to There are two sides to it. Since there are two sides to it, it is logical that the words are insincere."

"Third, and most importantly, I tell you my true feelings, but you are indifferent, or ridiculed, and spread this around. It is unacceptable to many people, so people become It's hypocritical."

Lin Yueyue sighed, "The distance between people is really too far, let's transform into a superhuman as soon as possible!"
