"Bang!"
Tiny warheads flew through the air, passing through the gaps between the pipes and heading straight for the target.
This was the final battlefield. The crystal lizard troops and Lin's spy were facing the final target together. The crystal lizards had just launched an all-out attack.
But... the warheads stopped in the air as if they were frozen. All the warheads stopped moving. They didn't hit the target that looked like a metal heart in the middle of the countless pipes.
"Hurry up and carry out the next plan!"
The crystal lizards immediately carried out the next action. The machines on their backs merged together again, and all the crystal lizards once again formed a huge mechanical crystal lizard.
Turning into a huge machine, the crystal lizards stepped out again and rushed towards their target.
Lin's spy didn't join in this time. Instead, he watched the battle from the ground and studied the creatures inside. Many things here seemed to be very valuable.
The huge mechanical crystal lizard rampaged in front of Lin. It broke all the pipes around it and rushed straight towards the metal heart.
This machine... was quite interesting. The main thing was the energy it used.
For example, the machines on the backs of the tiny crystal lizards were still intact after being fired, moved, and combined. Moreover, they seemed to have enough energy.
Watching them fight seemed to be a better way to understand how the crystal lizards used energy than watching the process of energy collection.
However, they seemed to be unable to defeat this strange creature at the core.
"Bang!" Lin heard a roaring sound. The huge mechanical crystal lizard seemed to have hit something. The body that was originally rushing forward suddenly stopped.
And in front of it... there was nothing.
The creature that looked like a metal heart had a strange way of doing things. There seemed to be some kind of transparent wall in front of it. It was able to block anything that rushed towards it.
Moreover, it wasn't as simple as a wall. Because the thing it hit didn't bounce back, but stopped at the same place.
Just like the warheads that were shot before, the mechanical crystal lizard also stopped at the place it hit. It was as if it was frozen there, not moving at all.
"Boom!" Just as Lin was thinking this, the entire mechanical crystal lizard roared again. It was as if it had been hit by a bomb. Its body, which was made up of tiny mechanical parts, instantly collapsed, turning into a large number of fragments that scattered into the surroundings.
It was as if it had been hit by a huge force. Lin was certain that the metal heart had some kind of powerful impact ability. The crystal lizards inside the machine were sent flying everywhere. Most of them crashed into the small pipes around them. Some of the crystal lizards even broke the pipes. The gas inside immediately gushed out and slowly shrouded the area with a layer of fog...
As the surrounding scenery became blurry. Lin continued to listen to the sounds of her surroundings, confirming each fragment. What was the position of each crystal lizard?
Then, Lin ran to the nearest place.
Lin's spy was not attacked here. Perhaps it was because the spy did not do anything dangerous. In that case, was the metal heart creature only passively defending?
Or rather …
Lin had already seen the thing she was looking for …
This item was a weapon carried on the back of a crystal lizard. It had been sent flying by the impact earlier, and this was the piece closest to Lin.
This thing was a cannon type, but it also had a complicated mechanical structure.
When the crystal lizard put it on, it looked like a mechanical backpack. The mechanical structure extended down from the back of the crystal lizard, connecting the tail and limbs of the crystal lizard. This way, the crystal lizard could control the machine at will …
Lin was not concerned about the method of operation. Instead, she was concerned about the energy source of this machine.
Most of the crystal lizard's machines did not use energy. They completely relied on the 'manual control' of the crystal lizard itself. However, there were also some machines that used energy to control, just like the buildings of the crystal lizard.
As for the buildings, there was a common large energy supply device. It could be said that it was something like a 'reactor' or a 'power plant'. However, these scattered machines obviously could not be powered by such a large device. Thus, they all stored the energy in smaller places.
It could be said that they were similar to the 'batteries' created by the Voidfolk. However, the crystal lizards did not use electricity.
This kind of 'battery' was usually stored in a small square known as the 'energy pack'.
This square was usually only a few millimeters in size. However, it was able to provide sufficient energy for the crystal lizard's weapons. Lin could now take a look at how they provided energy.
This energy source should be able to be used on very large objects, such as … warships.
With that thought in mind, Lin picked up the weapon on the ground. Although it was hit, it was not damaged. Lin wanted to analyze its structure in detail …
In this way, Lin's spy slowly analyzed the object in front of her in the core space where the fog was getting thicker and thicker. Using the small limbs and tentacles that extended from the head, Lin had already discovered many details.
… So that's how it is …
In general, this machine had an energy conversion system similar to that of living creatures. The square that the crystal lizard used to store energy was filled with a liquid that Lin had seen before. This liquid seemed to be able to be controlled so that it did not need to burn to produce energy. It also seemed to be able to coordinate with the actions of some small creatures inside. However, in order to fully understand its relationship, she might need to disassemble it and send in very small creatures to observe it.
Now, Lin speculated that they were using some substances in the liquid to synthesize and produce energy.
This way, the efficiency of energy utilization was very high. Although Lin had seen this method of energy utilization before, the crystal lizard's was much more interesting. After all, they were using substances that Lin had never seen before …
In short, Lin was mainly looking for energy that would 'not explode'. This kind of energy seemed to be very suitable, but there were still some problems.
More detailed research was needed …
"Hum …"
While Lin was researching, she suddenly felt a vibration. A crystal lizard appeared next to the spy.
This crystal lizard seemed to be quite injured. There were many cracks on its body and liquid was still leaking out. However, it still insisted on crawling to the spy's side. When it touched the spy, it vibrated.
"You must … go back … and tell them …"
The vibration was intermittent, but it was enough to express the crystal lizard's intention. It seemed to want Lin to go back and tell the crystal lizard nation.
"More troops must be dispatched … and tell them … the metal rioters … have …"
The crystal lizard stopped vibrating. The message it conveyed was very simple. At the same time, it was very interesting to Lin.
Aside from her research on energy, Lin was also very interested in the creature that had defeated the crystal lizard army. What kind of creature was it?
It might be a rather large creature. Lin had a feeling that it was controlling the armor. However, she did not know how, but she could make some guesses …
There were many small tubes in this space. Previously, Lin had thought that they were made by a group of creatures similar to the crystal lizards. However, these tubes might actually be structures similar to 'blood vessels'.
Although they might not have the function of blood vessels, they should be the creature's organs in general.
There were quite a lot of creatures in the tubes. Most of them were liquid creatures. After studying the mist that filled the entire space, Lin could see that there were many small creatures mixed in. Some were similar to cells, but they were not cells. However, some of their structures were very similar to cells …
And these creatures would sometimes stick together. They were like a species that had a division of labor and had a uniform action.
Perhaps when they received some kind of command … they would do all kinds of actions. One of the actions that Lin saw so far was' sticking together '.
These tiny creatures didn't have any color to begin with, and their unique structure made it impossible to see them even with the most precise vision. But now that they were everywhere, they could be felt. Lin noticed that they were glued together into a thread-like structure, then retracted back into the tube.
However, there were some threads that did not retract. Instead, they were 'groping' around. They would stick to the machinery dropped by the crystal lizards, and then … the machinery would move.
They were only hung up and not controlled. However, Lin had a feeling that …
Perhaps the control of the Voidfolk's armor was done using a similar method … They might have stuck together into a thread-like object and then controlled the Voidfolk's armor. They might have directly controlled the movement of the Voidfolk's armor, or they might have reached into the armor and controlled it.
Lin Sanjiu had not fully figured it out yet, but this creature might be the one that created these metal clusters.
Lin believed that these metal clusters were not Void trash. Perhaps this core creature had specially gathered a large number of metal fragments together and lived in the center. Together with various other creatures, they formed a complex ecological environment here.
The black metal might have been here before and brought some crystal lizards away. However, it did not cause much damage to this place.
Perhaps the other metal clusters were made up of similar creatures. Lin needed to take a look to confirm it.
If she wanted to study it in detail, she would need more help …
In other words, she would need to send more troops to this place. However, many Voidfolk had already arrived, although Lin did not think that they could reach this place.
In short, Lin would continue to study this place for now. She would study the scattered machinery here and this metal heart-like creature.
However, she did need to inform the crystal lizards. So, Lin planned to create another spy to go to the crystal lizards' city and tell them … Astronomy.
