"What's wrong with you monster?" Looking at the huge creature as docile as a puppy in front of him, Zheng Senlin was still confused in his heart even though he had studied biology for many years.
This monster is behaving so strangely now, as if it knows it is coming to kill it.
But even so, its current behavior is illogical.
If the monster knew that Zheng Senlin was coming to kill him, the most reasonable way to act would be to ambush next to the star gate and slap him to death the first moment he appeared.
But now...
"Can you understand me?"
"Ugh..." When the monster heard this, he showed a puzzled expression. This expression, like a puppy that seems to understand but not understand, made Zheng Senlin feel a little bit more confident.
"I understand. You can indeed understand some, but not much... Look to the left, left, left, right!" Zheng Senlin trained the monster like a dog, "Look to the right, okay, look up!"
"Confirmation completed."
Zheng Senlin, who had some judgment in his mind, easily extracted part of the monster's genes and was about to turn around and leave.
Before leaving, he and the other party finally decided on one thing.
"Can you promise not to harm humans?"
The monster nodded—it understood.
"Okay, I can also promise not to let humans hurt you."
After saying this, Zheng Senlin stepped into the Star Gate.
The coordinate positioning was transmitted to the earth again. The Han Li people, Ning Tao and others waiting outside, were very close this time - because there were already high-temperature sequence medicines, the alien germs were no longer scary.
"Mr. Zheng, what's going on with that monster? I just saw that you two seemed to be having a conversation?" As soon as he came out, Han Liren asked with concern: "Is it not a monster, but a civilized species from a wild planet?"
"It should not be a civilized species. When I saw it for the first time, it retained a lot of habits that only wild beasts have. There are many actions that even primitive people and primitive civilizations would not do. Moreover, even if it is civilized Species should not understand what I say right away. When the New World was discovered in the Age of Discovery, the communication between humans who met for the first time on each continent was not necessarily as smooth as before."
Zheng Senlin recalled the red flash and the strange experience of having his mind shattered when he saw the monster for the first time.
"I suspect that this individual has the ability to read parts of the memories of other creatures. It knows how powerful humans are, and then it tries to show its kindness. The basic intelligence of this creature is definitely not low, at least above the level of a dog. Otherwise, even if it can read Even if the memory is removed, it will be difficult to understand.”
"Okay, that makes sense." Han Liren nodded, "Then what are you going to do?"
"First do some research to determine the biological data of this monster, and then drive it away. After all, it is a wild creature. I'm afraid that if there are too many people..."
"Wait, you shouldn't expel it! It's a big deal!" While Zheng Senlin was still talking, the voice of micro-civilization suddenly sounded in his mind, "If it really has the ability to read memories, and its intelligence exceeds As for dogs, they are uncontrollable dangerous species listed by higher civilizations and will be completely liquidated afterwards. As a contact party, the more things you discover, the more special rewards you will get in the end."
The essence of higher civilizations asking lower civilizations to open up wasteland is to discover "dangerous species".
This is also the reason why they don't have personal contact.
"Dangerous species" can directly obtain the fire of civilization across eras, and reading memory and knowledge is the most common one.
As for the formation of civilization if the intelligence exceeds that of dogs, people who look at "Rune Star" can get the answer - they are not much smarter than border collies.
"What is the special reward for discovering a dangerous species?"
"Exploration coins, some special purchasing rights, and badges of interstellar explorers and pioneers."
"What's the use of the badge?"
"In your words, this can be understood as the first step into the system. Depending on the badge level, you will be given some supervisory authority for ultra-low-level civilizations."
"Super low class?"
"It is a civilization that is less than Level 1. It is similar to the ancient civilization on Earth, which is less than Level 1. There are many, many such civilizations in the known universe, hundreds of millions of them."
“What’s the use of regulating them?”
"It has many functions. As a regulator, you can obtain the resources of those planets at will. Although their civilization level is not enough, some individuals are also very powerful, similar to the carbon-based martial arts cultivation civilization in your novel biography. When the time comes, you can obtain it Their abilities. With the blessing of advanced civilizations, you will be a real god on these planets. As long as you don’t interfere with the progress of their civilization and don’t destroy their planets, you can even do anything!”
"There were regulators on Earth in ancient times?"
"What do you think?"
"Yes." The answer was self-evident. "The last question is, when reading the memory, are you not afraid of revealing your secret?"
"Higher civilizations can't monitor me. It's a small wild low-level species. Do you think it's possible to find me? I can confuse all data!"
"Understood!"
After learning this information, Zheng Senlin immediately changed the subject.
"That monster doesn't need to be expelled."
"Mr. Zheng, what does this mean?" Han Liren asked.
"The beast obviously has a certain level of intelligence and has temporarily shown harmless qualities. If it can be tamed, it can even appear as a base guardian. When the time comes, it will compete with other lower civilizations for the ownership of the star gate. A guarantee." Zheng Senlin had a serious look on his face. He was an emotionless person and had no psychological burden when he panicked: "Of course, this will have to wait until the biological data is analyzed. I will ensure the safety of the personnel."
"Mr. Zheng is right!"
"That's it for now."
…
In the next few days, Zheng Senlin analyzed the information about the creature he named "Coral Monitor" while traveling back and forth through the star gate, constantly coming into contact with it.
After repeated exchanges, the monster temporarily gave up the Star Gate area and narrowed the scope of its territory.
Then, large-scale human migration began.
The first batch to move in were engineers. Many engineers recruited by the organization entered the star gate with various equipment.
After arriving on the alien planet, engineers began to assemble the equipment parts they carried on their backs to form suitable tools and machinery. After that, the engineering team came in and started construction.
Next is infrastructure construction.
During the construction period, led by Shen Yuan, Cheng Xin and others, a large number of security personnel also entered the alien planet, and the base began extensive construction.
According to Zheng Senlin's request, he did not want to build this first base simply as a "military fortress", but as an "adventure town" where anyone can come.
The town can provide security forces, which can not only attract all kinds of free talents, but also achieve self-sufficiency and the subsequent "exploration currency tax".
Only by attracting a large number of adventurers can the base's income really increase. The accumulated exploration coins will definitely be much more than what he can earn alone.
