The Huiling tribe is the main race in this universe and the race with the largest population.
It is a general term for all humanoid creatures.
The growth of the Huiling Clan is not only due to their numbers, but also because of their strength.
A big factor why the Hui Ling Tribe has become the main race in this universe is the number of Dark Spirits in it.
According to the investigation of intelligent life in this universe, all Huiling tribes have high talents in cultivating dark spiritual power.
Their body structure seems to be more suitable for this aspect of practice. The specific reason is still unclear, and even the huge Dark Spirit Star Alliance has not figured it out.
Therefore, after gaining great power, many creatures from other races will always use various methods to transform physically, thus transforming into more like human beings.
If placed in Xianxia, such a scene would almost have the same meaning as those monster beasts taking form.
Zhang Xiaoman ordered the registration. Several giant frost dragons were a little unconvinced at first, but the dragons were under the eaves and had to bow their heads. Since he had to follow others to their territory, then that's okay. You just have to abide by other people's rules.
Fortunately, the other dragons were temporarily left on Erin Planet due to limited space in the spacecraft.
They were giant frost dragons transformed from the corpses of the Black Dragon clan. There were more than thirty of them. The weakest among them had reached the seventh level during his lifetime. After being resurrected by Zhang Xiaoman, they all retained their will, which can be regarded as Part of the high-level undead.
Zhang Xiaoman planned that after he came to the Dark Spirit Star Alliance, he could rent a large cargo spacecraft and bring the more than thirty frost dragons there.
Now, he still has to settle himself first.
Unlike the outer space environment of the Ancient Length Star, the Skull Star was transformed from the skull of a wild beast, so strictly speaking it cannot be counted as a planet.
It is not located in any star system, but uses a shield that covers the entire planet to wrap it up, artificially creating a standard living environment.
This standard living environment is clearly marked in the Planet Transformation Manual of the Dark Star Alliance. It is based on the living conditions suitable for most Huiling tribes without dark spiritual power. The default value is 0. According to the different environments of different planets, There will be an upward and downward evaluation, with the highest being 3 and the lowest being no less than 3.
According to the information provided by Ziwei, this Skull Star is an artificial planet with a habitability of 1.
Zhang Xiaoman was very surprised by this. He didn't expect that the habitability of such a strange, even ugly and scary Skull Planet would be 1 point higher than the standard value. It's true that a planet cannot be judged by its appearance.
The Lecentra was not parked in a space station as Zhang Xiaoman expected, or parked directly in space, but was guided into it through the mouth of the skeleton.
Judging from the other ships coming in and out one after another, this should be the entry and exit port of the Skull Star, and it does have a bit of an eclectic feel.
"Ziwei, what are those things? Are they flowers?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the surrounding environment curiously. The spacecraft had turned on the panoramic mode, and he could directly observe the outside environment through the mimetic influence of the armor.
He had noticed since the Lecentara approached the Skull Planet that there were many strange flowers planted around the planet.
Although the spacecraft at that time was already very close to the Skull Star, in an environment like space, it was difficult to judge the distance through a simple visual system.
Especially when you are flying over a planet like this, you have obviously seen that the planet is very close, but it turns out that you have sailed slowly for a long time and never arrived. In fact, the distance between the two sides may still be calculated in hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Therefore, since these flowers can be captured by his visual system in this environment, it means that the size of the other party is definitely not as simple as it seems.
According to Zhang Xiaoman's calculation, the diameter of that flower may exceed tens of thousands of meters.
This is still the smallest, and there seems to be a larger flower in the distance, which may be more than 100,000 meters in diameter.
"No, Ji Xing, how come you don't even know the orbital flower? Haven't you ever grown this kind of flower on the planet you lived on before? Then how do you guard against long-distance attacks from outer space?"
Ziwei looked at him with an incredulous expression, as if he was surprised that he had never seen this kind of flower before.
Zhang Xiaoman was a little speechless. What's so surprising? He and she have known each other for three years. Haven't they already been labeled as "a country bumpkin who has never seen the world"? Why is this guy now? Such an expression.
"Ground flowers? What's so special about them? I think they're quite big. From what you're saying, these flowers seem to have been artificially planted?"
Ziwei also reacted at this time, recalling the label he had given to the other party, but his reaction was not as violent as at the beginning.
But she was still a little surprised at this moment, couldn't help but click her tongue, shook her head and said:
"It's really hard to imagine what the planet you lived on looked like before? If there were no orbital flowers, there would have been other similar creations, right? Why do I look at you as if I have never seen these things before? It's strange. How did your previous planet resist external attacks?"
She didn't stop talking and continued to explain:
"The Earth Orbit Flower is a Leviathan-level creature that is a type of dark spirit plant. It is usually planted near low-Earth orbit to resist external attacks."
"This kind of plant is controlled by the spiritual connection of the Dark Spirit. Don't look at them. They are all quiet now. When an enemy spacecraft attacks, it will be time for them to show their true colors."
"Furthermore, these orbital flowers also have a very strong characteristic, that is, they can absorb energy and part of material strikes. This feature has a very good effect when used to defend against ultra-long-distance strikes. This is why here, they It’s much easier to sell than those fancy shields.”
"After all, the shield can only be absorbed passively, and it needs to consume a lot of energy when it is turned on. Once it is turned off daily, there will be no way to deal with sudden sneak attacks, which will lead to catastrophe."
"On the contrary, these orbital flowers can not only fight back on their own, but also deflect and absorb the energy attacks launched. Even if your attack target is not it, as long as it is within its absorption range, the energy attacks will be deflected, absorbed and used by it. This energy fights back from a distance.”
""
Blah blah blah, Ziwei turned on the popular science mode and introduced information about the underground flower to Zhang Xiaoman, who was fascinated by it.
"I see, Ziwei, I just heard you say that this kind of ground rail flower can be sold? Is this true?"
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up, feeling that he had found something good.
The great integration is coming, and Aquamarine is gradually moving into the space field with the influence of those black technologies. The development and demand for this area will definitely be inevitable in the future.
If I could bring these orbital flowers back, wouldn't that solve the planet's defense problem?
In the future, even if you encounter an attack from outer space, you don’t have to worry about not having any countermeasures.
After all, in many film and television works, it is too common to use a Star Destroyer Cannon that can destroy the planet from a very long distance.
If Water Blue Star provokes similar enemies in the future, it is very likely that he and others will be hit by a sneak attack before they can react, and the base will be blown up directly.
With these rail flowers, Zhang Xiaoman believes that this situation will be improved to some extent.
"What? Do you want to buy it?"
Ziwei raised an eyebrow.
"But what you said is true. There seems to be a lack of corresponding protection measures on Erin Star. If those reapers have accomplices to come to retaliate, it might be easy to find their way."
"No, no, you're right. We have to buy some seeds of orbital flowers. Well, I remember there seems to be a place on this planet that sells them. Let's go and take a look when we get there!"
Zhang Xiaoman felt relieved after hearing what she said.
As long as there is something for sale.
Not only do I have to plant the seeds of the Orbital Flower outside the Erin Star, but I also need to buy more for the First Universe later. In addition to the Aqua Blue Star, I can also plant more seeds on the Ancient Length Star and the Shengu Star depending on the situation.
As the two talked, the spacecraft slowly sailed into the interior of the Skull Planet.
Because it is a huge wild beast skull, the interior of this artificial planet is actually hollow. The residents here do not live on the bones outside, but have built a unique home inside the Skull Planet.
Through the mimetic holographic projection of the Lecentra, Zhang Xiaoman could clearly see the internal environment of the planet.
They were floating cities made of steel. They were attached to the large and small, intricate bones on the back of the wild beast's head. They were full of three-dimensionality, as if they were floating in the air.
It's a pity that the only fly in the ointment is that although these cities can be seen as full of futuristic high-tech style at a glance, in fact they are not as beautiful as Zhang Xiaoman imagined at the beginning.
Just like this planet, the cities inside it didn't fit his aesthetic. There was thick smoke everywhere, and it looked like a backward industrial empire with very serious industrial pollution.
Moreover, the appearance of these urban buildings is also strange and weird, both green and red, and their appearance is mostly sharp and ferocious, seeming to have a hint of cyberpunk style.
Zhang Xiaoman is not a fan of this style. It reminds him of the black market and lightless zone under the ancient city.
Finally, what was most difficult for him to accept was that the lighting environment inside this planet was so poor. It was not like the World Tree of the Covenant, which could be controlled and imitated at will under the shield. sky color.
Here, the sky is still as dark as outer space, and the entire city seems to be in darkness all the time. Only by relying on uninterrupted energy supply and lighting can the place be lit up.
In general, although the architectural style inside the Skull Star is novel and has a good sense of technology, it is a bit crude after all, and the first impression it gives people is that of a chaotic type.
On the side, Akatus and other undead were also looking around curiously. This was their first time coming to another living planet, and their first time seeing a world other than the continent of Erin.
"Lord, is this a new world? Then the people living here are the aliens you mentioned before, right?"
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and replied:
"You can say that, but strictly speaking, we are the aliens now."
He paused after speaking. It seemed a bit inaccurate to say this. The translation of the word "alien" in the language here means "unknown outer space creatures".
Speaking of which, this place is also a space civilization. It seems a bit inappropriate to describe itself as "unknown outer space creatures".
I am afraid that in the eyes of these Skeleton Planet people, the identity of myself and others as aliens is at best similar to the feeling of being treated as outsiders when traveling to other cities on Aquamarine Planet.
Beside him, Ziwei was also observing the surrounding environment.
However, she is different from Zhang Xiaoman and others. The latter is more of a novelty that has just arrived, but what is revealed in her eyes is a kind of nostalgia that has not been back for a long time.
"Skull Star, it seems like I haven't been here for a long time. Remember, the last time I came here was to capture a group of reapers. Was it fifty or sixty years ago?"
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help feeling a little ashamed after hearing what she said.
He knew that this woman was actually older than she looked, but he didn't ask her specific age. She must be over a hundred years old, at least she shouldn't be younger than McCarvey.
At this time, a light yellow beam suddenly shot from the front of the spacecraft and connected to the outside of the hull. Then the Lecentra began to move following the beam, slowly approaching a platform beside the passage.
"This is a tractor beam. Don't resist. Just follow its guidance and you can reach the docking port."
Ziwei reminded him.
Soon, under the guidance of the tractor beam, everyone stopped at the edge of a cliff-like platform. A staircase extended from the platform and docked with the hatch of the spacecraft.
"Okay, we're here, let's get out."
Ziwei stood up and took the lead towards the exit of the spacecraft.
Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and followed suit.
Behind him are Arcatus and other undead. They are all wearing gray-white overalls at the moment. As crew members of this ship, they also have to leave the ship to register so that they can have their own in the Dark Star Alliance in the future. identity.
"This voyage has ended. Welcome to the Skull Planet. I wish you a pleasant journey."
Outside, a welcome message in Common Tongue rang out from above the platform's hall.
