602: Chapter 602 Silicon-Based Octopus
The issue with India-Pakistan is not urgent to investigate now; the main thing is to figure out what methods the Moni People actually possess.
Switching the screen again, Oriental Chen discovered something new.
This scene was in the sky above a city, but which country it belonged to was unknown.
The city had already fallen into a blaze of war, and many various types of flying vehicles were attacking a strange creature in the center.
This creature was much taller than a skyscraper, and its appearance resembled an octopus.
However, unlike an octopus, it had at least 16 legs. Some legs supported its body on the ground, while others danced in the air, attacking the surrounding flying vehicles. The hit flying vehicles directly exploded and crashed.
The octopus's skin was overall grey-black and looked very hard.
From its color, it looked very much like metal. But metal cannot be as tough as skin, and yet this octopus was very flexible, which was strange.
"What is this octopus? Which country produced it?" Oriental Chen asked.
"I have no impression," Monga still didn't know.
"..." Oriental Chen was speechless.
Since Monga had no impression, it was likely that the Mars database wouldn't find it either.
She couldn't be blamed for this; after all, after the Mars Base was damaged, it was like a human losing memory, and a lot of content was lost.
"Then, from your perspective, what could this thing be?" Oriental Chen asked from a different angle.
"From its characteristics, it could be a Silicon-Based Lifeform," Monga said.
"Reason?" Oriental Chen asked.
"The material of the skin. The cells of Carbon-Based Lifeforms are very soft; even if some creatures have exoskeletons, their exoskeletons do not have extensibility. However, the cells of Silicon-Based Lifeforms are very tough, and their extensibility and oxidation resistance are stronger than ordinary metals," Monga said.
Oriental Chen nodded, agreeing with her statement.
"Then, which faction do you think this octopus belongs to?" Oriental Chen asked.
"Without a doubt, it definitely belongs to Sirius," Monga replied.
Because Sirius belongs to Silicon-Based Lifeforms.
"This is a big difference from what Dragon Three told me! How could there be Silicon-Based Lifeforms on Venus 1 billion years ago? Didn't you say that the Sirius Remnants eliminated humans by controlling the Moni People?" Oriental Chen asked.
"There's no contradiction. The existence of the Sirius Remnants was only discovered hundreds of thousands of years ago. 1 billion years ago, this concept didn't exist; at that time, I thought it was just an ordinary robot. Moreover, the Blue Star Ecological Transformation Project was before the appearance of this Silicon-Based Lifeform; at that time, when Dragon Country was formulating the plan, it did not consider this factor," Monga explained.
Oriental Chen nodded and said no more.
He continued to scroll through the images but found nothing useful.
The thunderstorm in Mordo lasted for 20 minutes.
Basically, 90% of the insects in the thunderstorm area were eliminated, and the ground was covered with scorched marks.
The four huge buildings were not affected by the thunderstorm and continued to output new insects.
The border area was quickly covered again.
It was obvious that the thunderstorm attack would consume a massive amount of energy. Mordo could not use this weapon indefinitely, and there would definitely be a good show to watch next.
Mordo's 27 unmanned warships had been hiding outside the attack area when the thunderstorm began. Now that the thunderstorm was over, Xiao Lin operated them to turn back and attract new insects.
On the other side, the 37 Okshung warships that had not yet reached Zahei dared not proceed after seeing the distant thunderstorm, so they could only slow down.
The Great Sun Country warships behind them also did not press on, similarly slowing their speed.
Putian Xiaoyezi had not yet returned from the Elder Hall, so they dared not act rashly.
Inside the main temple of the Moni Sect in Mordo, the Sect Leader was getting a headache seeing the insects from India-Pakistan being killed off only to be replaced by more.
When encountering unreasonable opponents, there was simply no other way than to confront them head-on.
He checked the time; it was now 2:00 PM. There were still exactly 20 hours until the start of the sacrificial ceremony.
If they didn't find a way to eliminate those insects, 20 hours would be enough for them to rush all the way to the Caspian Sea. At that time, Mordo's eastern core area would be completely swallowed, and the sacrificial ceremony would certainly be affected.
"Order all Elder Halls to gather all Moni Sect members of 3rd-Order Mutated Individual and below, and immediately proceed to the southern border to set up defenses nearby. We must intercept the insects from India-Pakistan to buy time for the sacrificial ceremony," the Sect Leader commanded.
The Moni Sect had a total of 108 Elder Halls. Based on an average of 30 3rd-Order Mutated Individuals per Elder Hall, a total of 3,000 Mutants could be assembled. As for 1st and 2nd Order Mutants, they were just there for numbers; their combat effectiveness was poor, but they could do odd jobs.
If they were spread across the 2,500-kilometer long border, each person would have to defend approximately a 1-kilometer long section.
These Mutants had limited combat power, and defending such a long distance was simply an impossible task.
