Chapter 68 The Secret History of the Mechanical Tribe
puff!
The dust was thrown up high as Zero and others landed, and then fell quickly.
Since the moon is a true vacuum environment, there will be no dusty "smoke bomb special effects."
Zero pressed a button on his body, and the almost empty particle injector behind his back hit the ground.
Sure enough, in a vacuum environment, without the influence of air resistance, their actions became smoother.
Not only that, the efficiency of replenishing fire energy through the absorption of light radiation is more than ten times higher than on Luyuan Star.
Hot Wheels grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and scanned it in his hand.
"Lord Zero, this sand is actually extremely rich in iron ore, and the purity is very high. It can be used with just a little purification!"
Zero smiled lightly, not surprised.
After all, this is the guidance of the great Cybertron. If this satellite has no development value, how could the great Cybertron specifically guide him to lead the machine race here?
Then he looked around, and his words were transmitted to the ears of Lightning Blue and other mechanical tribes through the fire radiation wave.
"Find a suitable base construction site and build the base first."
"yes!"
The servitors began to take action.
They quickly found a crater with relatively flat terrain. After calculation, it was very suitable as the first base of the mechanical tribe.
Whether it is the nearby ring mountains or underground, there are rich mineral resources.
After finding the location, several large machine servants lay down on the ground, forming an assembly line.
Number Zero turned around and left here, finding a nearby hill.
There are currently no miner-type servitors produced, so we can only rely on the two of them to mine some minerals manually.
Zero came to a hill a hundred meters high and drew out his big sword.
[Fire] began to burst out with bright light, and a large amount of energy was mobilized, spreading into his body.
Subsequently.
Uh-huh!
Zero swept his sword forward.
A beam of concentrated energy that was like sword energy flew forward, slicing the entire mountain from a height of twenty to thirty meters.
Swish, swish, swish!
Zero struck out with his sword a few more times, dividing the cut mountain into many small pieces.
"Lightning Blue, bring a few people over to this coordinate point and transport these ores back."
"Okay, boss." Lightning Blue was arranging the large servitors to return to their positions one by one. After hearing the voice of No. 0, he responded and summoned several servitors that were similar to containers and rushed here.
"Wow, boss, you cut such a huge mountain into pieces? When will I be as powerful as you?" When he saw the chopped mine, his two lightning blue silicon crystal eyes sparkled.
Number Zero glanced at him and patted his head with his hand: "Let you get more sunshine."
"Oh, that's it," Lightning Blue plopped down on the ground.
Zero:?
"What are you doing?"
"Let's bask in the sun!" Lightning Lan said confidently, turning over as he spoke.
No. 0 almost laughed out of anger: "You still want to turn over?"
"I heard that when humans eat fried eggs, they must be fried on both sides until golden brown. If I turn them over like this, they will be more evenly cooked, right?" Lightning Blue said matter-of-factly, and then he turned even happier.
Number Zero kicked him: "Get up quickly, don't be shy."
"Hee hee," Lightning Blue jumped up. He just had an out-of-touch personality, but he wasn't really stupid.
Strangely enough, the four mechanical races so far all have distinct personalities.
The first-generation Zero liked to mess around, but he was very capable of execution. A few months ago, Lu Yuan asked him to prepare for the moon landing. He immediately arranged for his men to work, and now he is here.
The boss of the second generation, Thunderbolt, is mature and stable, and feels more leadership-like than Zero. However, he never takes the initiative to show off, let alone fight for power with Zero, but quietly does his own thing. .
Desert Gray, the second-generation eldest child, is reckless, aggressive, and rough-tempered, but he has a straightforward temperament. Other mechanical races are more or less estranged from humans, but Desert Gray can get along with humans, so Sha Minghui also likes him very much.
Lightning Blue, the third child of the second generation, has an out-of-touch personality, but he is also keen on becoming powerful and has a martial spirit. It's just because of his personality that he's a bit out of tune.
According to the records of [Fire], "personality" is the characteristic of every mechanical race with independent abilities.
When [Fire] is lit from the cold steel body, a unique personality will appear, gradually evolving into something similar to a personality.
Only with these unique personalities can the machine race be a real life, not a bunch of cold equipment.
There is actually a distinction between "adult" and "infant" among the mechanical tribe.
And the difference is not in age, but in personality.
The young mechanical race has a relatively weak personality, and this weakness is not only reflected in daily life, but also in combat.
The adult mechanical race has a distinctive personality and can often maximize its full strength.
It seems unscientific, but there is a "scientific" explanation for this phenomenon recorded in [Fire].
The mechanical race once studied the meaning of "life".
The true connotation of life refers to a type of phenomenon that occurs naturally in the process of development and change of the universe and has rich possibilities such as self-growth, reproduction, feeling, consciousness, will, evolution and interaction.
If it is more detailed, it can be extended to self-replicating amino acid structures produced through biochemical reactions, as well as fungi, bacteria, plants, animals, etc.
Therefore, the scholars of the mechanical race captured some organic life forms, pulled various organic life forms onto the scale, weighed them and used them as the abscissa - mice as small as tens of grams, and elephants as large as several tons, all were weighed. Read it again.
Subsequently, their metabolic rates were measured as the ordinate through the carbon dioxide they exhaled per unit time.
The final result surprised all mechanical scholars:
When the horizontal and vertical coordinates were taken as logarithms, all the animals stood on a straight line with a slope of 3/4!
From this, they derived a law: For mammals, their basal metabolic rate is proportional to the third power of body weight.
what does that mean?
Assume that the weight of a cow is 10,000 times that of a mouse. If the metabolic rate of a mouse is 1 watt, it can be inferred that the metabolic rate of a cow must be 1,000 watts (ten thousand to the third power).
In other words, although the total number of cells in a cow is 10,000 times that of a mouse, it only requires 1,000 times the energy to maintain life.
Cow cells work less efficiently than mice, and the single-cell metabolic rate is only one-tenth that of mice.
It is further deduced that the cell damage rate of cattle is smaller, so the lifespan of cattle is longer than that of mice.
However, adhering to a scientifically rigorous attitude, mechanical scholars decided to continue to expand the scope of research.
So they captured a large number of life forms.
