Chapter 1230: Devourer! Mine bug?

From the surface, the huge gas planet looked like it had existed for many years without any change.
But this is only a superficial phenomenon. Through the scanning and detection settings on the "Kye Clan" mothership, Yunhai can confirm that this huge gas giant planet is reducing its mass and volume at an extremely slow degree.
How long can a living body consume a planet?
Yun Hai had thought about this issue before.
In his opinion, even if there are such creatures in the universe, the time required to swallow a planet, especially a huge gas giant planet, is definitely an astronomical number.
Common sense is used to be broken.
Especially in the cosmic environment, there are all kinds of magical and terrifying existence, even beyond the limit that any civilization can imagine.
This is the case now. The facts in front of you have told Yunhai that this Zhihan and Yunyue agreed that the monster that is to be called the "Eater", in a certain sense, it does not take too long to devour this gas giant planet. .
"How did it do it?"
Located in the control room of the "Kye Clan" mothership area, looking at the dynamic images fed back in the huge stereo projection, Zhihan became more and more restless.
It is not unusually huge, at least in the eyes of Zhihan, Yunyue, and Yunhai, "The Devourer" did not continue to swell for a while, and the big one was boundless.
Approximately one-fifth the size of the "Kye Clan" mothership, after swelling into this form, the "Eater" finally stopped growing wildly.
In the scan image of the "Intelligent Brain" which is still working, the huge body now exists in the semi-liquid region of the gas giant planet. As it moves freely, the semi-liquid region presents a high degree of chromaticity. Some of the matter kept rushing to its body.
In that case, the Devourer is completely a beast-shaped self-propelled mining equipment, and it also has its own filtering and absorption, processing, and integration functions.
The body and the giant python are in the same form. In the place where the Devourer rushed past, all the substances with high brightness and chromaticity in the semi-liquid material area disappeared.
The rest is the tone of gray and black.
At least according to the scan and analysis of the "Kyeh" mothership "Intelligent Brain", the places where the "Eater" wandered, even for the primary technological civilization with low material energy requirements, no longer have any mining value. .
"Enlarge the body of the Devourer and do a more detailed scan."
Yunhai couldn't answer Zhihan's question, and he wanted to know the answer so he gave an order to "Zhi Brain".
The invasion and the work of the "Kyeh" mothership "Intelligent Brain", the first generation of Alien Queens have already been completed.
It's just that other more aliens don't have this ability, so those who have the power to control the "Intelligent Brain" of the "Kye Clan" mothership, except for Yunhai and the first generation alien queen, only Yunyue can do it.
Zhihan couldn't do it. After all, the "Kye" mothership now stores the "Azurite" which is extremely precious to alien civilization. Yunhai didn't want to give the power to control it to outsiders.
This human girl from other stars and possessing magical "psychic" abilities, Zhihan, although she has successfully gained the trust of Yunhai to a certain extent, and has almost integrated into the alien civilization, but in Yunhai's subconscious, she is still "outsider".
Zhihan is also very interested in this issue.
In fact, she is quite satisfied with her current state.
After all, not long ago, she had an experience of controlling and commanding some aliens.
At least this point, at the beginning, Zhi Han didn't even dare to think that he would have such power.
The three-dimensional projection screen has changed.
The huge snake-shaped body of the Devourer was quickly enlarged, occupying almost all of the three-dimensional projection screen.
Without the hard scale armor and bone plates that Yunhai imagined, after several different scans by the "Intelligent Brain", they finally saw the shape of the "Eater".
The surface of the body looks very soft, just like human muscle tissue.
On its body surface, dense tentacles grow.
There are a lot of "fluff" on each tentacles.
These tentacles, which oscillate as it swims, are about 30 to 40 meters long, which makes the Devourer look like a caterpillar.
These tentacles are the organs for the "phagomer" to absorb material energy.
In the scan of the "Intelligent Brain", the bodies of the "devourers" that these tentacles lead to are "high roads".
The bright lines that represent energy, either parallel or intersecting, flow from different parts of the "Eater" to the tail of its body.
At its tail, there is a blazing light ball.
At least in this dynamic scanning stereoscopic projection image, that light cluster is brighter than other lights, it is simply a dazzling star.
"It looks like it should be. The tentacles on its body have the characteristics of absorbing energy."
"No matter how it does it, it's like a magnet can attract iron powder, but the material energy it can attract is much more terrifying."
"Then, different material energy sources entered the tail after being absorbed by it."
"At its tail, the group of light is like a material energy reactor. Whether it provides energy for it, or it is processed, smelted, or refined there, it is probably the case."
"Also, the Kye tribe once dissected a very small Devourer, and obtained a fingernail-sized crystal. The energy contained in it directly exploded their mothership during the experiment. A huge hole."
"Kye scientists firmly believe that only a few such crystals are needed to maintain their mothership's energy requirements for a long time."
"It seems that the existence of this'devourer' has an irreplaceable and important role for any civilization."
"Do you think there is such a possibility? The Devourer is a mine bug that a certain civilization specializes in mining and collecting energy...Uh, or a mine beast?"
Zhi Han looked at it carefully for a while, then expressed his opinion.
"It's possible."
Yunyue, who was in a bad mood for a while and saw that no one was pleasing to his eyes, rarely agreed with Zhihan's viewpoint.
Yun Hai had no choice but to admit that what Zhihan said made sense.
He had a feeling, especially after this "devourer" grew up, its breath of life gave Yunhai a familiar feeling.
However, if he had to make a definition, it would be difficult for him to confirm.
Different from Alien, but somewhat similar.
It's different from bugs, but there are some things in common.
In terms of the basic life breath, the "Eater" is somewhat similar to Alien and Insects, but it doesn't have the evil aura of the latter two.
The "engineer bugs" that had already been seen in the "Zerg" flashed in his mind, and Yunhai immediately rejected such thoughts.
This "Eater" has absolutely nothing to do with the "Zerg" he has already seen in this small universe.
If they had such a powerful "miner bug", they would have been created long ago.
