Time skipped and it was time to open the door again.
No accident occurred, and the new world gate appeared as scheduled, facing due east and more than 800 kilometers away.
First to the south and then to the east, it seems to be similar to the activation sequence of the first two temporary gates. However, the southern gate is more than 700 kilometers away from the last opening of the east gate, and the new east gate is also nearly 400 kilometers from the last opening of the east gate. There is no way. Establish its relevance.
The reconnaissance aircraft unit will search for abnormal areas in the sky on the day the world gate opens. The sky will darken when the world gate opens. The farthest confirmed sighting record is 120 kilometers, and it will be closer when the atmospheric visibility is normal.
In order to ensure accurate and timely transmission of information, the previous batch of reconnaissance aircraft would not fly into the abnormal atmospheric range, so the first batch of on-site observation information from the abnormal area was obtained at night, more than half a day after the opening of the door.
The terrain around the World Gate is still changing during this period, which does not hinder the determination of which direction the World Gate is connected to.
According to past experience, the world gate is connected to the main world. During the change period, most small-scale battles will occur. By participating, you can easily determine whether the opponent is a person from the main world.
This time too, under the cover of night, the reconnaissance team flew low to focus on the magic burst and tried to get closer to observe.
By the time Wang Qi came to the staff headquarters the next day, it was confirmed that it was still the Demon Realm Sect.
After dawn, the staff notified the Air Force to try a new tactic. The 301st Battalion directly selected demon soldiers of suitable size and took a reconnaissance plane to the front line for identification.
The military's fighter jets and reconnaissance planes are all designed and manufactured according to the body shape of Night Clan soldiers. There are a lot of equipment in the observation position and weapons position in the back seat. Those who are more than two meters tall or have wings cannot fit in. The entire 301st Battalion There are only about thirty suitable people in total, half of them will be screened out based on their daily performance, and all the rest will go to the site.
The demon soldiers had not received relevant training, and the confirmation process was repeated. It took several days to basically identify it as a sea-facing cluster to the west of the Shenyun Dynasty.
The sea is said to be bluish-purple. I don't know whether it is caused by cyanide metabolites of anaerobic bacteria or other things.
This coastal cluster has a unique biome called Basari.
Just like the Icecrown biome is called Maarif, the Basari biome can be called the Crystal biome.
The difference between the two is huge. The Icecap biome is the top cluster at the regional level, and other groups in the area where they live are food.
The living environment of the crystal biome is more ecologically complex. Although they also have relatively advanced populations, they are scattered in various ecological niches and only account for a small part of the ecological chain.
There are already two types of threatening crystal biomes in the East Zone, including crystal crypt poachers and crystal giants.
The name of the Crystal Crypt Poacher is intuitive enough. It is a cave-dwelling ecology that uses ambush as its main attack method. It has the characteristics of a scorpion and some insects, and its individual weight is between 200 and 300 kilograms. The positioning of magic ability is similar to that of a wild dog. It does not have external magic ability, but has multiple endogenous magic talents. It is famous for its quick burrowing speed and strong destructive power in close combat.
Reproduction: Maternal type, monofemale and polymale mating, ovoviviparous, more than ten individuals in a litter can survive to semi-adult status, a single breeding cycle is expected to be seven years, because crystal crypt poaching occurs in this area every seven years The phenomenon of sudden increase.
Intelligence is assessed as very low, and overall threat assessment is poor.
The Crystal Giant is the other extreme.
Its adult height is between 3.5 and 4 meters. The demon soldiers have no conclusion about its weight, and aerial observations on site cannot accurately assess it. They only know that they are denser than water. According to general experience, the individual weight is estimated to be more than 800 kilograms.
The crystal giant's intelligence is similar to that of the sharp blade, and it also has its own rudimentary language. They live in families and rarely live alone. Larger families may have three females, with one to three times the number of semi-adults.
The officers of the 301st Battalion specifically stated that the crystal giant does not have a conventional diet. The adult body is more like a rock puppet creature and mainly relies on natural magic power for maintenance.
Pregnancy and the growth of young children still require resource supplements, and the source is a plant-based monster that is usually considered to be symbiotic with the Crystal Giant, the Crystal Giant Vine. The vine can directly attach to the crystal giants and be used as clothing and tools by them. It is also parasitic and can extract nutrients from normal plants to grow itself.
Crystal giants can use a lot of magic, and can even learn some additional low-complexity spells through family inheritance. Crystal giants that can release six-ring spells often appear in demon world stories, which can be regarded as a side portrait of their abilities. Their ecological niche is very high, but because of their relatively simple eating habits, their aggressiveness is completely incomparable to that of the Ice Crown type. They can be considered residential types. As long as they do not invade their homes, there will be no conflicts within a certain distance.
These two members of the crystal group with certain combat effectiveness have extremely low diffusion capabilities in the context of floating islands, and there is basically no need to consider the risk of war intensity they bring.
On this day, Li Xiang also came to the staff headquarters. He pointed to the information on the giants in the crystal group and asked, "With this level of intelligence and living habits, can I try to recruit them to surrender?"
Wang Qi nodded: "The theory is fine, but the management cost is too high and it is difficult to operate."
The height of 3.5 to 4 meters means that while the Blade and Red Devil can enter and exit normally, they can only barely enter and exit. Correspondingly, from the perspective of living needs, a set of faucets, door handles and other products must be specially adapted to a body of this size, and the costs in all aspects are unacceptable.
"Should we consider putting some uninhabited floating islands around there for them to settle on?"
"This is a good idea. It can also reduce some military pressure." Wang Qi habitually squeezed the back of her hand to express his happiness.
You must not form a stereotype when looking at the demons. Most of the coordinated actions among different groups of the demons are succumbing to stronger forces. From their own perspective, no one is next to anyone, and no one even cares about them immediately. They will become food for each other.
Crystal Giants are residential types. As long as the health of the vegetation near their residence can be guaranteed and there is no obvious intrusion on other resources, their spread is only related to their quantity.
As for the issue of quantity, the perspective of looking at the intelligent population is different from that of looking at the little devil's gadgets.
Wang Qi has always agreed with a view: high fertility rates are based on human risk aversion instincts.
That is to say, in an environment where it is more difficult for an adult body to survive, the more children need to be born. Anyway, it is the older child who takes care of the younger child. The couple basically does not pay any time or intellectual cost. The amount of food depends on sawdust and weeds. The burden of three to five is just that. , when there are seven or eight children, even food is partly borne by the older children. It doesn't matter if a few die young, as long as some of them grow into teenagers, it will bring positive benefits to the family.
From the perspective of food and water purification, without developing systematic medical care, the Phoenix Kingdom has greatly guaranteed the average life span of adults. In addition, the eight-hour work system and related safety systems have reduced the rate of permanent physical damage and ensured that amateurs Time, in this case having multiple lives is not such a good option. The more children there are, the more noisy and chores become more troublesome, which affects the couple's ability to play. The reasons for having children are gradually focused on the concept of pension insurance, rather than the previous survival.
Pension for the elderly is also an unsustainable concept. When Wang Qi raises the overall income at home and abroad, the country will mainly rely on deposits for pensions. It can also be combined with deposits and investment interest from some legal private banks as subsidies in old age. Most people can Cut off the connection between children and elder care.
At that time, the only "purposes" for having children were "want" and "cuteness." In most cases, children could only be regarded as "purposeless by-products" of a couple's love.
The same goes for the Crystal Giants, or other groups that can be recruited overseas in the future. As long as they have language communication skills and modify their living environment, they will naturally establish the understanding that "more children equals trouble", even if the pregnancy and rearing period are shorter. , the diffusion force can also be controlled.
In short, there is no need to destroy the demons who have a chance to be neutral and have limited resource consumption. It is the best to make friends as many as possible.
