Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 29
This is a huge cave, almost ten kilometers in diameter.Because it is in the center of the celestial body, the gravitational strength in the cave is zero.The earth dragon is entrenched in the center of the cave, suspended in the air.The bulging body is like an oversized balloon, and those giant earthworms rushing out of the surface are just the tentacles of the earth dragon.The body structure of the earth dragon is very similar to that of an octopus, and it is also a bit like a jellyfish. It belongs to the low-level mollusc silicon-based animals.

Yang Yi did not enter the cave in a hurry, but hid near the exit of the passage, carefully observing the huge monster.

Although it is a low-level silicon beast, the earth dragon is the biggest silicon beast Yang Yi has ever seen and heard.The earth dragon in front of me must have a volume of more than 100 million cubic meters and a tonnage of several million tons, comparable to an A-class warship.Only large warships equipped with heavy firepower could pose a threat to it, and ordinary space fighters would definitely be helpless, perhaps even legendary fighters like the "Fire Phoenix" could only be helpless.

Fortunately, Dilong has no brain, and his IQ is pitifully low.

Yang Yi lay motionless on the ground, his body covered with phantom wings, whether he saw it with his eyes or smelled it with his nose, he looked like a rock.

In fact, the earth dragon has no eyes, nose and ears, and the only sense is the "sixth sense", a unique organ on each of its tentacles that can detect weak electromagnetic fields.Because any kind of creature has a bioelectric field, it will be discovered by the earth dragon if it gets close.

With the protection of phantom wings, Yang Yi doesn't need to worry.

In addition to providing visual camouflage, the Phantom Wings can also shield Yang Yi's physiological electric field under full coverage.

Something seemed wrong.

After observing for a while, Yang Yi discovered the problem.

The only value of the earth dragon's existence is to guard the den and protect the eggs that are still hatching, but there are no eggs in this huge cave, not a single one!As far as Yang Yi knows, in order to keep the eggs at a temperature suitable for hatching, the internal structure of the den is often very complicated, a bit like a honeycomb.Obviously, this cave is not the same as the animal den, it is so empty, it is difficult to keep the temperature within a suitable range.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi activated the temperature detector on the falcon's eyes, and he was even more surprised when he saw the displayed number.

There is air in the cave, and the temperature is only thirty degrees Celsius.

This is too strange, isn't this a beast den! ?
You must know that the temperature at which silicon beasts hatch will definitely not be lower than [-] degrees Celsius. If this temperature cannot be reached, the silicide inside the eggs will solidify, just like water will freeze below freezing point.In addition, hatching eggs release heat, causing the ambient temperature to rise.If there were hatching beast eggs in the cave, the temperature would not be so low, it would be [-] degrees Celsius instead of [-] degrees Celsius.

Staring at the earth dragon entrenched in the center of the beast den, Yang Yi was full of doubts.

If this is not a den, and there are no hatching eggs, why is there an earth dragon, and it looks like an adult earth dragon.

At this moment, there was a sound above his head.

Those pirates! ?
Yang Yi held back his curiosity and did not look up.

The pirates were more than 100 meters above him. If there happened to be a pirate looking down, Yang Yi would be spotted just by moving.

"Everyone, don't panic, Dilong was seriously injured and is dying."

Someone was yelling, and it sounded like the leader of the pirates.

Is this queen really stupid, or fake smart?Even if the earth dragon is seriously injured, it can easily crush human beings who are as small as ants.

"All act according to the deployment. The first team is responsible for the search and security, the second team sets up the reverse atomic cannon, and the third team prepares for the action. Let me act, and move quickly."

These pirates actually have reverse-type atomic cannons, it seems that they came prepared.Yang Yi looked towards Dilong.

Dilong was indeed seriously injured and looked like he was dying.

The reverse atomic cannon is a heavy weapon widely used in the space battlefield. The damage principle is opposite to the original energy converter, that is, the energy in the form of internal energy, electromagnetic energy, strong energy, etc. is converted into original energy, and then naturally dissipated. In space, the effect of the strong field shield used to deal with battleships is very significant, and it is certainly no problem to deal with earth dragons.After the internal energy was sucked away, the earth dragon's body temperature suddenly dropped, so it's no wonder it didn't die.

Perhaps it was bombarded by the reverse atomic cannon before, and the earth dragon retracted into the celestial body after being injured, and did not attack the pirates on the ground again.

These guys hate it too much, they actually used a reverse atomic cannon to deal with an earth dragon.

Just, where did the pirates get the reverse atomic cannon?
Because the core of the original energy converter needs to be used, the reverse atomic energy gun is a strategic weapon. It is not only expensive, but also subject to strict control. It is uniformly purchased and managed by the military department. It is only provided to the army, and it must be applied by the theater command. , Even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi turned sideways and looked up.

On a protruding platform obliquely above, dozens of pirates are setting up a small electromagnetic projectile, which is the launching device of the reverse atomic cannon.A sea island that looks like a little boss is dictating his subordinates, and there is a metal box made of special alloy at his feet.

It's a small reverse atomic cannon!
There must be ghosts in the military, otherwise the pirates would not be able to obtain such advanced weapons.

Because it needs to convert energy into original energy, the reverse atomic cannon is one of the few weapons that fire shells. The so-called shells are actually the core of the improved original energy converter, which absorbs the energy of the target after hitting the target. And convert the absorbed energy into original energy.

The shells are packed in that metal box.

The power of the large reverse atomic cannon is astonishing. A single shell can destroy the strong field shield of a battleship. Some super reverse atomic cannons of the destructive level can even smash a planet with one shot.Because of its huge size, the shells used are also astonishingly large, so large reverse atomic cannons can only be installed on battleships.After being disassembled, the small reverse atomic cannon can be carried by a single soldier. It is much less powerful, but it can be used in a wider range. For example, it can be used against tanks and mechas in ground combat, and it can also be used against fortified fortresses.Because it is easy to carry and is also destructive, the military has stricter control over small reverse atomic cannons. They are usually sealed in warehouses and issued to troops during combat.

It was not surprising that the pirate ship had a large reverse-type atomic cannon, but it was a big problem that these pirates had a small reverse-type atomic cannon that was strictly regulated.

How to do?
Pirates move very quickly, and it is not difficult to assemble the electromagnetic projectile. In theory, three people can complete it within 5 minutes.

"Ow—"

An extremely violent roar came, and Yang Yi immediately looked back.

Dilong came back to life, to be precise, in a dying struggle.Hundreds of tentacles gushed out from the earth dragon's body, overwhelming the pirates gathered near the exit of the passage.

Facing the attack of the earth dragon, no one can calm down.

Pirates are people too, and there are also cowards who are afraid of death.

"Don't get together, disperse immediately. In a group of three, concentrate fire on the end of the tentacles. The earth dragon is dying, give it the final blow now."

This time, Yang Yi saw the pirate who gave orders, wearing a silver-white protective suit.

In an instant, there was a lot of gunfire.

If the earth dragon is not injured, the electromagnetic guns, radiation guns and other light weapons carried by the pirates are simply decorations, because these weapons produce damage effects through the transmission of energy. Energy such as kinetic energy, electromagnetic energy, and radiation will be transformed into Internal energy, that is, high temperature, and Earth Dragon is not afraid of high temperature.However, this earth dragon was seriously injured, and the flesh and blood that made up its body became stiff due to coagulation.Hit by the high-speed projectiles fired by the electromagnetic gun, those tentacles began to disintegrate and split into fragments of different sizes.Under the irradiation of the radiation gun, these fragments melted again, turning into puddles of blood, consuming the remaining vitality of the earth dragon.

The body of the earth dragon shrank sharply, and some necrotic flesh was peeled off from the body.

How is this going?

Seeing the energy source in Dilong's body, Yang Yi couldn't believe his eyes, and thought he had made a mistake, but the data given by Eagle Eye was absolutely correct.

It is indeed an energy source, and what is released is internal energy.

A large amount of internal energy creates a high temperature zone near the energy source, hundreds of degrees Celsius!
There is only one energy source that can continuously release energy, the original energy converter.

The earth dragon is just a low-level silicon beast, how can there be a power converter in its body?
Also, if this energy source is controlled by the earth dragon and is part of the earth dragon's body, the body temperature of the earth dragon will not drop, and it will not be severely injured.

This energy source does not belong to the earth dragon, but the protection object of the earth dragon!
"Ice and Snow Tiger"?

It's not right, the "Ice and Snow Tiger" is a space fighter, similar to the "Fire Phoenix", but the "Fire Phoenix" does not have a power converter.

No matter what it is, it must be very important, otherwise the pirates would not be so desperate.

The earth dragon was still desperately fighting back, and the pirates who had gathered together began to spread around under the command of the leader, so as to avoid being too concentrated and being caught by the earth dragon.

Three pirates ran towards the exit of the passage where Yang Yi was, but one of them was very unfortunate. He was hit by a tentacle after running a few tens of meters, his body was pierced, and he couldn't die anymore.The remaining two did not stop. When they ran to the entrance of the cave, the pirate behind slipped and was swept away by a tentacles.

"what--"

The last pirate raised his electromagnetic gun and fired at the approaching tentacles while roaring loudly.

This guy must have been scared out of his wits, and he yelled loudly to embolden himself.

The pirates around were all concentrating on dealing with the attack of the earth dragon, no one paid attention to this side, and no one cared about the life and death of a single companion.

Pirates are outlaws who only care about their own lives.

It's now!

Yang Yi quietly got up, pulled out the flame sword, and quietly touched the pirate with his back facing him, who was shooting wildly with an electromagnetic gun.

The flame sword is made of a special memory alloy, which can not only be strengthened by the electric energy output by the original energy converter, but also can be controlled by the user to change its shape.This kind of combat weapon is most suitable for close-up assassination. It is not only deadly, but also silent, unlike electromagnetic guns that make noise.
