Chapter 890 Starworm
Yao Yuan put the worn and deformed excavation drill aside and waited for the body to cool down.
Four underground mines have been opened.
A total of four electric vibration stars have been excavated so far, and three of them have been handed over.
Yao Yuanshou knew that in order to gain the trust and support of the Yao Clan civilization, he had to demonstrate his value. Providing the results of underground excavation was to prove his own exploration and excavation capabilities.
As the excavation went deeper, it found that the situation was not optimistic.
Digging deep underground is difficult because of the large-scale vibrations that may occur at any time in the Silver Plain. According to the Yao Tribe Research Station, it was the shock caused by the fall of the Electric Vibration Star.
The scale and intensity are hard to determine. It could be just one star falling, or hundreds of stars falling, or even a continuous shower of stars causing long-lasting shocks and ground waves.
When the vibrations reach underground, they will collapse the mine.
In order to maintain the passage and mine and reduce the risk of collapse, it is necessary to do a good job of supporting the mine. However, this not only consumes a lot of foreign materials, but also takes more time to build the mine, which cannot produce results quickly.
Leader Yao Yuan doesn't have the energy right now.
It must obtain enough electric vibration star fossils in a short period of time in exchange for the continuous assistance of the Yao civilization. How much support and resources it can obtain is directly related to the speed at which it mines stars.
This is an obvious thing.
Yao Yuanshou knew that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Originally, it had prepared itself mentally to sleep underground in this world for a long time until all its energy was exhausted.
It has tried everything to call for help, even releasing and receiving signals over a large area on the ground.
Apart from receiving some signals from the electric vibration star, there was no response.
Yaoyuan was the first to admit defeat.
The appearance of Luca gave it hope.
"Then let's develop this place together."
The metal life form that looked like a skeleton said so.
Yao Yuanshou was a little touched at that time.
Although only for a moment.
After the contact, Yao Yuanshou found that Luca was not stupid. He was a veteran who had experienced many battles and had a clear judgment of danger.
The other person exhibits an unwavering optimism.
It believes that the Yao civilization behind it can provide sufficient support to the front, and has no doubt that the Yao civilization will be able to gain a foothold in this strange and dangerous world and launch further development.
Luca said: "As a soldier and a warrior, you must learn to unconditionally trust your comrades and partners around you. When facing danger, you need to believe that the other party can help you, and you also need to protect the backs of others."
"I can't survive otherwise."
Yao Yuanshou was very envious.
I envy the Yao civilization behind Luca, I envy it for having the protection of God, I envy its experience and sharpness.
It can no longer remember when it first had someone it could trust. It was probably in its childhood when it was vaguely conscious, when it knew less, was not as painful or tired, and had a simple stupidity.
Did Luca ever catch himself lying?
Yao Yuan was not sure.
Ninety-nine percent of what it said was true. The only discrepancy was regarding the life named Yaoyuanshou.
Now Yao Yuanshou is very uneasy.
Because Luca had been away from the mine for 4 days.
"I received an order and need to go back. I will be back as soon as possible."
After saying this, it never saw Luca again.
On the third day, Chief Yao Yuan flew all the way to the research station and asked about Luca's situation.
The god with the great sword on his back said, "Sorry, no comment."
The cold tone made it feel uneasy.
Yao Yuanshou went there again on the 6th day, and this time he didn't even see the Blood Knight.
Only a skeleton man in heavy protective clothing received it and told it: "If Mr. Luca comes back, I will tell it for you."
Polite and impeccable.
Correspondingly, the Yao Clan's research station was visibly expanding. The crystal walls continued to extend outward, and a large amount of sand and soil transported from the outside world was transformed into large fields. The Yao Clan built a farm town on the Silver Plain.
They also optimized the farming methods, first cultivating the roses into trees as tall as trees in the Yao civilization world, and then transplanting them here.
Although the survival rate of transplanted adult plants is very low, by relying on large numbers of them to be piled up, a black and white forest of shiny roses has been created here.
Yao Yuanshou also saw that the workers of the Yao tribe were already digging mines.
They adopted very large-scale and standardized operations, with workers carrying out different stages of labor in an orderly manner. They used special mattocks and shovels to chisel open the blocks of stone, which were not particularly hard, and then collected them and sent them back to the other world.
Even though the power of the Yao clan has been curbed and it is difficult for everyone to move here, they can still mobilize huge manpower to complete all the infrastructure.
There is no news from Luca, and the research station continues to expand.
From these changes, Yao Yuan first derived an uneasy signal.
——The Yao civilization may no longer need me.
It was only a matter of time before they dug up the Vibricon.
On the tenth day after Luca left, Yao Yuanshou could no longer sit still.
It decided to go and ask to join the research station to see what they had to say.
If they were rejected, it would mean that the Yao civilization really wanted to abandon them as worthless outsiders. If they agreed, there might still be some hope.
It left the safety of the burrow and saw a large figure in the distance.
It was Luca, who was wearing a heavy feather-like protective suit.
At this time, Luca was standing on a board with four wheels. One foot was fixed on the board, and the other foot stepped on the metal ground, so that he could move smoothly.
Very basic sports structure, but practical.
Luca circled around Yaoyuan's head and stopped gracefully with one foot. "This is the most practical "glide board" made by the engineers in the back. With this, we can go several times faster on the Silver Plains. It is very labor-saving. We have tested it before. When encountering ground waves caused by vibration, as long as we lower the center of gravity, we can glide smoothly in the ups and downs."
"I taught the people at the expedition station how to use it to surf the waves. Now it has become everyone's standard equipment. When you go out, you have to fix one on your backpack."
Yao Yuanshou felt a little relieved: "Are you going to teach roller skating these days?"
"Not really. Lord Blood Knight forced me to take three days off. Then I tested this tool with them. Even though it has a simple structure and looks ordinary, it is not easy to calculate and test the most suitable material and size..."
The Silver Skeleton picked up the skateboard from the ground, looking as if it was a treasure.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yao Yuanshou was speechless.
What a piece of crap.
Is this what you are doing?
"There was another secret mission that had to be kept secret at the time and could not be told. Now that I have received the authorization and release from Lord Blood Knight, I can finally tell you."
"Come on, I'll take you to see something good."
Yao Yuanshou followed Luca all the way back to the research station.
Luca rode his beloved skateboard around the bend and entered a courtyard surrounded by high crystal walls and black and white forests.
There are Yao guards standing guard here, holding shields and spears in their hands, all made of that blue metal, which, like the mattock, has high strength and density.
What surprised Yao Yuanshou was that there was a strange snake-shaped creature inside.
Its body is made up of silver balls.
Yao Yuanshou confirmed it again and again.
That thing is made up of 11 electric vibrating stars!
The electric vibration star aggregate was currently coiled on the ground, with one end of its head - let's assume that it was the head for now - buried in a large crystal bottle that looked like a jar, absorbing the contents.
Purple flocculent gas was floating in the crystal bottle.
It is high-purity gaseous energy.
Although not as stable as the World Stone and the Almighty Stone, it is very easy to absorb and adsorb, and the gaseous state is a relatively easy form to utilize.
Yao Yuanshou turned his attention back to the electric vibration star cluster.
"What is that?"
"We call it 'Starworm'." Luca looked at the life in front of him that was eating: "This is also what I've been busy with these days."
"This guy sneaked into our research station and stole our stored magic bottles. They were the crystal magic bottles that store magic energy. It sneaked in and ate all twelve of them before we caught it."
The Silver Skull put his hands on his hips and said very proudly, "This guy wanted to run away at that time, but was bumped into by the Blood Knight. He then used our special weapon to deal with the Electric Vibration Star, the water gun."
"The water stored in the glass tube was pushed and squeezed out. When they were hit by the water, a lot of white smoke came out of the broken and broken parts of their bodies, and they caught fire immediately."
"This is a heavy blow to the Vibricon. Not only does it lose a lot of energy, but its body will also be severely damaged. It will be unable to move at once."
"We developed this weapon through repeated testing on the two electric vibrating stars, Alpha and Axing. Although they are not suitable for external missions, they are good subjects for research. They have strong personalities and are even willing to take the initiative to accept testing in exchange for magic energy supply and continued repairs."
"Under normal circumstances, the electric vibration star is not afraid of water, but it is not afraid of the ground."
"We used water and the magic bottle to tame this starworm. It's called a starworm, but it's actually a special symbiotic organism formed by 12 electric vibrators."
Luca pointed at the starworms in front and explained to Yao Yuanshou: "They are connected to each other. Initially, two newly fallen electric stars attracted each other to form the initial binary star, and then they continued to look for other electric stars. It is best to find them while they are hot when they just fell, and there is still power to supply and store..."
"During the screening process, the head and tail also need to agree, because the new electric vibrator can only be connected on both sides of the starworm. If both docking members disagree or are unwilling, then they cannot be connected as one."
"We took it to the Temple of the Sun and asked about it. The Vibration Stars themselves also have compatible and incompatible ones, just like the channels you mentioned. They are judged by the frequency of flickering and jumping. Only when they are close can they match and resonate and act together. Otherwise, they will become out of sync."
The Silver Skull concluded, "I have been working with the Starworm for a while now, gradually making it understand that we want to dig underground electric vibration stars, and we will also supply it with magic bottles as a reward. The deep underground will gradually be handed over to it, because it is better at finding other electric vibration stars. What we have to do is to provide support and supplies, and give it a reliable and stable rear."
"There is more than one Starworm in the Silver Plains. He said he has seen several, but they are on different channels and do not interfere with each other."
"In other words, our work will soon be handed over to them. As long as we continue to find starworms and domesticate them, they will be able to cooperate with us to complete the continuous mining of underground electric vibration stars!"
Luca laughed loudly: "Is this good news?"
“That’s great.”
Yao Yuanshou said this, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
The progress of the Yao civilization was too fast.
How should I deal with myself?
"We have new work." Luca looked over, as if he could see through what it was thinking. "Our job is to keep an eye on the status of the star worms. The second star worm has been found and is being domesticated. That star worm will be handed over to us later."
"Signal communication and exploration are your strengths, right?"
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Of course, I am an expert in this area."
The two returned to the safety of the cave in silence.
Yao Yuanshou finally made up his mind: "In fact, the traveler is just a disguise. My real job is a "standard soldier". I specialize in entering various space passages, tunnels and gaps to do things... In the words of your Yao clan, I am a thief who breaks into houses to steal."
