I have a space station

No one understands what form silicon-based life takes, so Dongfang Chen had no concept of the dangers it might pose.

“Xiao Lin, are you saying this meteorite is a silicon-based life form?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“No. This meteorite contains a large number of silicon-based microorganisms,” Xiao Lin explained.

Undoubtedly, these silicon-based life forms were brought to Blue Star by the meteorite.

“It's been over two thousand years, haven't these silicon-based microorganisms died yet?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Commander, perhaps you don't understand silicon-based life very well. According to the information in the database, silicon-based life does not die naturally,” Xiao Lin replied.

“Holy crap! Immortality?” Dongfang Chen was shocked.

“Yes, because their DNA is extremely stable, and the stability of their cells is also very outstanding. So unless they are violently killed, they can theoretically continue to survive,” Xiao Lin replied.

“Then why don't they spread to other places and continue to live on the meteorite?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“This is actually a disadvantage of stability: it is extremely difficult for genetic mutations to occur. Although more than two thousand years have passed, they have not evolved the ability to adapt to the Blue Star environment.”

Dongfang Chen nodded, indicating he understood.

It seems that everything has two sides.

The life span of life on Blue Star is short, and adaptability is poor, but compared to silicon-based life, the speed of evolution is simply flying.

“Check whether the meteorite is radioactive,” Dongfang Chen ordered.

“Analyzed, it is not radioactive,” Xiao Lin replied.

It seems that the Wang Jian army mentioned in the jade slip did not undergo physical changes due to radiation, it may be these silicon-based microorganisms that are playing tricks.

“What would happen if these silicon-based microorganisms entered the human body?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Not sure. The information in the database is not comprehensive, there are only some general discussions and some basic research. The specific situation needs to be modeled and analyzed based on the microbial DNA before a conclusion can be drawn,” Xiao Lin replied.

Dongfang Chen was helpless.

There is no underground base here, and there are no basic conditions for research.

“Is there any way to sample these microorganisms and take them back for research?” Dongfang Chen asked.

He was unsure whether there was a risk in taking silicon-based life samples away from here.

“Theoretically, it is possible, but I do not recommend you do so. Once a leak occurs, there may be unpredictable consequences,” Xiao Lin replied.

The so-called leakage refers to the contamination of Blue Star's ecology by silicon-based life.

Of course, even without modeling, Dongfang Chen probably knew the result. It was nothing more than what was described in the jade slip: starting with immense strength, then blood streaks slowly appearing on the body, and finally death.

However, seeing is believing. The specific situation still needs to be tested before a conclusion can be drawn.

Moreover, the jade slip may not really have been left by Qin Shihuang, there may be a trap inside.

After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Chen decided to build a research base here.

This is a folded space, with good concealment, and it can be completely isolated from the main world, reducing the risk factor a lot.

Putting the meteorite aside, Dongfang Chen began searching for the whereabouts of the spaceship nearby.

The jade slip said that the meteorite and the spaceship were buried together, so logically the two should not be far apart.

But Dongfang Chen searched for a long time, and the range was expanded to within 3 kilometers, but still nothing was found.

This is strange, could the description in the jade slip be wrong?

The jade slip was once buried by Qin Lao, and Dongfang Chen originally wanted to call him to verify it. But after thinking about it, he decided against it, he couldn't tell which of Qin Lao's words were true and which were false now.

There is also one point, why Qin Lao buried the jade slip here, this matter itself is very strange.

He faintly had a feeling that he might have been used as a pawn.

Unfortunately, there is no basis.

“Let's go back first!” Dongfang Chen said to himself.

According to what Qin Lao said, the probe stayed in Qin Shihuang's tomb, which led to entering the folded space. So, if the queen bee left inside is transferred out, can he go back?

No sooner said than done.

Dongfang Chen instructed Xiao Lin to issue an order, ordering the queen bee to migrate to the terracotta army pit east of Qin Shihuang's tomb.

Five minutes later, the queen bee's migration was completed.

Suddenly, several aircraft appeared behind Dongfang Chen's battleship.

These aircraft were Qin Lao and his party.

“Xiao Chen, how is it? Did you find the spaceship?” Qin Lao asked.

“No,” Dongfang Chen shook his head.

“Didn't find it? Impossible, right?” Qin Lao looked disbelieving.

“Really not! There is only a meteorite in that place,” Dongfang Chen said, glaring.

“Where's the jade slip? Give it to me!” Qin Lao didn't ask any further, and reached out his hand.

“Oh, here!” Dongfang Chen handed over the box containing the jade slip.

“Now you believe what I said, right? Don't come to this place again,” Qin Lao said with a smile.

“Qin Lao, I really don't understand, if you really want to investigate the whereabouts of the spaceship, you can completely send someone over to excavate it,” Dongfang Chen said with some dissatisfaction.

He increasingly felt that Qin Lao was both persuading him to leave and leading him into a trap.
