Chapter 195 Drill Mouse and Connection Technology

Zhou Yi looked at the creature in front of him.

It is about the same size as a gerbil, with thick fur and a head covered in a coal-shaped shell, like a small conical drill.

This creature seemed to like digging holes very much. It used its head to support the ground and then turned its body downwards, digging the soil with its claws, and soon it dug out a hole.

They burrowed into the soil and came out from the other side.

Nemo introduced: "Chairman, this is the offspring of a coal beetle and a gerbil."

"After a period of raising and testing them, I found that they have the adventurous spirit of gerbils, the underwater survival ability of coal worms, and their personalities are very stable."

"They have no eyes or vision. Like coal worms, they use their shells to observe the world and can sense dead light and energy."

Zhou Yi picked up an amphibian mouse with his hands.

It remained motionless when it was carried and began to play dead.

[Alert] From the perspective of this creature, there is no white light, which means that it belongs to the category of ordinary creatures like gerbils and coal shell insects. It cannot rely on dead light to complete energy replenishment, and also needs normal food intake.

Zhou Yi pinched its horn-like drill and it felt like bone or cuticle.

The mechanical mouse continued, "The coal worms live under the Dead Sea and soon became uncomfortable on land. The low concentration of dead light here makes their bodies heavy and their senses dull."

"So except for mating, they retreat back to the Dead Sea."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but remember.

When I saw the interspecies mating of coal worms and gerbils before, they did look as slow as a snail and their movements were strenuous. It turns out that this is related to the Dead Sea.

"But the next generation of mixed-race people won't have this problem."

"They can survive on land as well as on the seafloor. Their carapaces have also degenerated and shrunk to their heads, and they use them as a tool for drilling into the ground, which is very useful in the Dead Sea."

Nemo pointed to the side with his little paw: "Chairman, they like land food very much."

Zhou Yi saw that the amphibians were gathering together to chew sweet potatoes. Their mouths were under the shell of the drill bit, and they used their claws to grab the crushed sweet potatoes and stuffed them into the shell, chewing them with a crackling sound.

“They may be the future of gerbils and coal miners.”

The electronic eyes of the mecha-mouse glowed slightly. "By evolving into this form, they can take care of both land and the Dead Sea, and continue to reproduce and grow underground unnoticed."

"It's just that whether they can reproduce on their own still needs to be verified. If they can't reproduce on their own, it would be a pity."

Zhou Yi held the amphibian rat in his hand and asked: "What is their intelligence?"

"Similar to gerbils, but better than coal worms. It should be a matter of living space. They are born with a variety of spatial activities and receive more information and experience. Coal worms mostly stay underground and don't move much. They feed on dead silt, which causes their shells to become thicker and thicker."

"I will use the gerbil tribe to educate them collectively, please rest assured."

Nemo said, "Chairman, please give them a name."

Zhou Yi put the little creature in his hand back on the ground. It ran towards its kind and followed them to eat the sweet potato.

"Let's call him Drill Rat."

"Yes, Chairman."

……

A day later, Zhou Yi arrived outside the cave in Yalong Bay.

Today is the surgery day.

Da Vinci performed the third removal surgery on Li Mo.

Taking advantage of the time, Zhou Yi also chatted with Yalong Bay, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The other side doesn't care about the honor war in winter.

"War is sometimes unavoidable, we just hope it can end as soon as possible."

Yalong Bay is interested in action next spring.

“I don’t know what the new life form in the water plant dormitory looks like.”

“If this capability can be replicated, and architectural life is no longer bound by the Dead Sea, it will be a historic day.”

The submarine base is very much anticipated.

But Zhou Yi thought more closely: "I'm wondering if there is a chance to learn the existing connection technology in United City. They can connect Meizhou Prison, Happy Valley Amusement Park, Kunming Station, and the water plant dormitory to each other. In theory, we should be able to do it here."

"You're right." Yalong Bay agreed: "They are the pioneers in this regard, and we are the latecomers. The United City hopes to liberate and unite all architectural life. I think we can try to ask for their help."

Zhou Yi decided to give it a try, and it wouldn't cost him anything.

He contacted Kunming Station through the Red Falcon.

The reply came: "Of course. We are willing to share this technology with all architectural life."

"The whole process is actually not complicated. It can be achieved by simply opening up a part of the two building life forms and connecting them together."

“There are two difficulties.”

"The first is that before connecting, a public area needs to be divided. We need to ensure that the consciousness bodies are transmitted and connected in the public area to avoid entering each other's deep consciousness and causing confusion to the body."

"The construction and improvement of the public area requires a long period of adaptation between both parties, which is a bit like friendship among you humans."

"The second is that we need to trust each other, which is the most difficult part. In the beginning, we took risks in order to survive together, and we were damaged. But with your special ability, this may not be difficult."

"Specifically, there are..."

After listening to this, Zhou Yi expressed his sincere gratitude.

Kunming Station really wants to teach other similar ones so that the architectural life group can awaken and grow rapidly.

After listening to Zhou Yi's retelling, Yalong Bay exclaimed: "What an amazing exploration and discovery."

It wants to connect with the Emerald City and try to build the first public area.

Zhou Yi said: "No problem, I will talk to Emerald City about this later."

The two sides discussed the details.

Before he knew it, Da Vinci's operation was over and he notified Zhou Yi to go into the cave.

The mechatronic doctor raised his robotic arm and demonstrated his work, a new stressor fragment sealed in the sol.

"This time the part that was removed was the bone, but it took quite a while to search for it. In order to avoid affecting the nerves and spine, we performed a minimally invasive procedure, and the wound was minimal."

Zhou Yi looked at Li Mo inside.

The mutant kid was now sitting on the couch, legs crossed, flipping through a comic book under the tunnel lighting, not looking like a patient at all.

The cave now has leather sofas, Simmons beds, tables, chairs, wardrobes, an iron stand for Li Mo to display cups, and a workbench for making cups. Various foods are also delivered here regularly.

It has been transformed from an abandoned building in the past to a simple studio today.

After getting the third stressor, Zhou Yi returned to the 31st floor of Emerald City.

[Radio], channel 5, on.

"223, 222..."

The countdown appears again.

……

Zhou Yi returned to the sea of gems, and everywhere he looked were all kinds of gems flowing.

He lowered his gaze into the gem room, wanting to see what was happening with the kobold.

There were only white gems left on the floor in the room, which meant that the kobolds had absorbed all the energy of the sapphires.

There were two red dots of light flying around inside.

The kobolds followed in pursuit.

"Stop, stop, come back!"

"Come back, you two disobedient creatures!"

what's the situation?
Is this an external elixir?
Zhou Yi watched with great interest.

He soon discovered that the two red dots were not external pills, but two eyeballs...

The dog-headed man's eyes are now separated from his body, and the two eyeballs are fighting outside, emitting red light at each other.

Zhou Yi looked a little confused.

He had never seen this scene before.
