Cyborg No. 1 was currently dissecting the stomach of the Slaad. The Slaad's stomach was so large that it could fit at least two or three people. After cutting it open, Cyborg No. 1 searched very carefully. He was looking for possible stomach stones from the monster, which would be quite valuable if they were found.
At this time, the concept of future humans had to be mentioned. After the great integration of culture and race in the interstellar colonization era, Western culture and Eastern medical skills were also spread. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine also began to show a trend of formal integration with Western medicine.
In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, it was very popular to use animal stones to treat illnesses. For example, the famous three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine: Bezoar, Dog Treasure, and Horse Treasure were the gallstones of cows, Dog Treasure were the kidney stones of dogs, and Horse Treasure were the intestinal stones of horses.
In the real world, China's annual demand for bezoar reached an astonishing 450 tonnes, while China's annual production of natural bezoar was only one tonne. Therefore, the price of natural bezoar was twice that of gold. After the mad cow disease epidemic in Europe, in order to prevent the disease from spreading through medicine, China decided to ban the import of bezoar materials to prepare traditional Chinese medicine. As a result, the price of natural bezoar soared several times!
In the current interstellar colonization era, a variety of new plants and animals were discovered, which greatly expanded the scope of traditional Chinese medicine. There was even a book called "The Compendium of Materia Medica of the Milky Way". The stones of high-grade beasts were collectively known as beast cores. They could be used to cure a variety of diseases, and their prices were astonishingly high.
Therefore, when Cyborg No. 1 dissected the stomach, he was very careful for fear of missing anything. A single beast core the size of a pea was worth more than five cyborgs put together.
It was because of his meticulousness that he found more than half of a metal plate nailed to the stomach wall. The metal plate was about the size of a lighter, and a large part of it was deeply embedded in the stomach wall. If there were no broken chains left behind, it would have been very difficult to find.
Finding a metal object on such a barbaric planet was a very strange thing, but they could not rule out the possibility that it was left behind by the Predators.
But when Cyborg No. 1 picked up the piece of metal, wiped it, and examined it carefully, he immediately knew that he had found something extraordinary. He could not make such a decision on his own, so he could only ask Party Ace to take a look at it.
It turned out that this piece of metal was a dog tag used by soldiers!
The words on the dog tags were based on a system.
The first line is the owner's last name.
Second line, name and abbreviation (or abbreviation only)
Third row: Service ID, Social Security ID, blood type - A, B, AB or O, and Rh factor
Line 4: Abbreviations of military units and sizes of gas masks - XS, S, M, L, XL
Line 5: Religious beliefs use full names, using initial letters, such as - C for Catholic, H for Hebrew, P for Protestant.
The sixth line: Identity. For example, RA is Regular Army (Regular Army, meaning voluntary enlistment), US (Forced Enlistment), NG (National Guard), ER (Enlisted Reserve), O (Officer).

Although the dog tag was small, the amount of information it contained was quite large. In addition, this thing had been soaked in gastric juice, so it was very corrosive. The words on it were a little blurred. Therefore, everyone gathered together and studied it for a long time. Finally, they understood that the original owner of this thing was a Private First Class named Douglas.
Some of the exact information on the dog tag was recorded and searched through the cyborgs' offline database. The unit he served in was very special. It should belong to a highly confidential unit.
Obviously, this Mr. Douglas should be dead, because the Slaad's diet should not include metal. It would never swallow a piece of metal for fun if it had nothing to do. Of course, it could not be ruled out that another creature had treated Mr. Douglas as a sandwich, and then this Slaad took the opportunity to eat this creature.
More importantly, judging from the degree of corrosion of the dog tag, it could not have been soaked in gastric juice for more than two hours. The human limbs found in the depths of the stomach sac were sufficient proof of this. Everything was very clear now.
"There are still living humans on this planet?" Hedi Curry asked in disbelief.
Dardanian said, "That's not a possibility.
"We can't rule out that possibility. Didn't we hear them talk about it before? Before we came here, the Interstellar Alliance sent a lot of people to explore this place. Although the official data says that no one has ever passed through the meteorite belt, the official data is always unreliable. There are often some exceptions, "Sheyan said with a sheen.
Sheyan's gaze flickered, obviously thinking of an important matter. He was currently guarding his' Sheathe Edge and Restrain Claws' plan. If he could keep a low profile, he would not be high-profile. However, when necessary, he would be unyielding and would never back down. Therefore, he had no intention of speaking up.
They discussed for a while, but most of them were leaning towards not poking their nose into other people's business. Time was of the essence, and the priority was to complete the mission first.
But at that moment, Vasily suddenly said, "You seem to have forgotten something.
"You seem to have forgotten one thing. If these humans are the survivors that were sent here before, then they must have survived for at least a few months or even a few years longer than us in this world! They also have the responsibility of exploration and have the exploration equipment … So, if there are still survivors, there's a high chance that we can obtain the distribution map of multiple Pi veins from them! The information they have is very likely to be extremely valuable to us, or even priceless! "
Vassily's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.
Hedi Curry and Azsa looked at each other and nodded solemnly. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Vassily's words, so they didn't notice that the eyes of all the Androids seemed to be shining. But even if someone noticed this, they wouldn't be suspicious. This was because when the Androids were thinking, this effect would be triggered. It was just like how the hard drive light would flash when reading a game.

At the same time, on the Kitty Hawk base 2.7 million kilometers away.
The lights in the central control room were shining brightly.
The majestic general was once again "descending" by means of holographic projection.
Major General Mungo and Major General Fiji stood there like primary school students. Although their backs were straight, there was obvious fear in their eyes.
"You two did a good job. You used military exercises and the research institute to delay the movement of the Predator spaceships, and at the same time, jointly signed a decree to overload the Kitty Hawk! How dare you make decisions on your own that would harm the interests of the Empire! "
Although the General was an old man curled up in a wheelchair, his voice was as shocking as thunder, deafening to the ears! It was so deafening that it gave one the impression of being scared out of their wits.
But Major General Mungo and Major General Fiji secretly looked at each other with their heads lowered. Their eyes, which were filled with deep fear, suddenly lit up. Both of them could tell that the Admiral was not trying to "harm the interests of the Empire", but "making decisions on their own"!
Major General Mungo immediately stood at attention and said, "We had no choice, General.
We just wanted to complete the mission no matter what. Plus, the space-time turbulence was very intense at the time, so the transmission of data was quite slow. We were racing against time, so we didn't have time to ask for your permission … "
"When a general is out there, he does not obey orders! It's understandable that you were able to react in time, but why didn't you report to me after you were done? Did you think you could do these things well by acting on your own? "
"The Empire's Experimental Institute is going to launch an ionization storm. How can it be decided by a single person? If I hadn't talked to the Department of Energy, do you think that proposal would have been passed? If I hadn't suppressed the secret report that Captain Ruth of the Kitty Hawk sent to his immediate superior, do you really think you can do whatever you want? "
Major General Mungo and Major General Fiji immediately broke out in a cold sweat. They did not expect so many twists and turns behind the scenes.
The Admiral said coldly, "There's nothing wrong with being decisive, but if you want someone to wipe your ass after you've made a decision, you'd better keep a low profile."
"Yes, yes." Major General Mungo and Major General Fiji immediately bowed as low as they could go.
Seeing how humble the two of them were, the general coldly snorted and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Don't worry.
"So, what did you gain from cutting off all means of retreat?"
"Yes, yes!" Major General Fiji was the first to speak. This guy was obviously more scheming than the rest. He took the initiative to announce the good news first. There was no doubt that people were always happy to hear good news. In ancient times, those who enthusiastically came to announce good news would be rewarded. Since when did someone who enthusiastically came to announce a death receive a reward?
Major General Fiji naturally left a good impression on the Admiral by being the first to speak. Perhaps this little detail was insignificant, but many grains of sand would make a tower. When many details were added together, they would become a crucial decision!
"We've made a major breakthrough in the development of Pi ores. There's a medium-purity Pi vein right below the mushroom rock where we planned to land! This can be proven by video data! "
Major General Fiji even played a video of a group of people using instruments to detect the vein.
"In addition, they've also obtained several pieces of high-purity Pi ores. Using the instruments we provided, they've processed Pi elements with a purity of more than 99%." If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
