Hei Qi slept for a full 48 hours.
During this time, Chu Jungui had reorganized the entire production process of Base No. 2 and started building the second mobile base.
In two parent star days, the volume of black gas doubled. This is a bit confusing. According to the amount of food it eats, it shouldn't grow so much.
Le Mans spent several hours analyzing the data accumulated during this period and finally found the reason. On the one hand, it is true that the number of basic units has increased, on the other hand, the basic units are generally larger and their functions have been enhanced. The intuitive expression is that the amount of electricity they attach to the body surface increases, so the distance between them increases. In the eyes of the outside world, this black air has become a lot bigger.
In the end, Le Mans came to two conclusions. After sleeping in the past period, Black Qi's overall movement ability and deformation ability have been greatly improved, and the movement speed may be more than doubled.
Of course, with its original micro-level movement speed, let alone a doubling, even a 100-fold increase would not be very obvious.
After listening to Le Mans' report, Chu Jun was about to continue building the second mobile base, when suddenly Le Mans said: "It's going to wake up!"
Chu Jungui raised his eyebrows slightly, and first asked someone to fetch a few trays with 'food' on them. Then he stood in front of the glass cover and looked at the black air quietly.
There is no abnormal movement on the surface of the black air. In fact, a dense air mass has gathered inside. Through the outer layer of black air, you can see that a small eye has taken shape inside, but the eye has not opened and is trying to hide inside the black air.
Chu Jungui found it funny and said, "Since you're awake, stop pretending. You can eat after answering the questions."
Black energy immediately rose into the sky, and the little eyes shone brightly, really shining: "Eat!"
Looking at the huge word "eat", Chu Jungui also smiled, took the tray over, put it in front of the glass cover, and then looked at the black energy like that.
The entire black energy was stuck to the glass wall, and the second eye was no longer hidden, emerging from inside the body, staring at the tray together, with two beams of light constantly sweeping back and forth on it. If Hikari could eat, the tray would probably be empty by now.
Le Mans approached Chu Jungui and said softly: "These two rays of light have scanning functions. They are analyzing the food on the plate."
Chu Jungui remained calm and said on the communication channel: "Record all data."
After struggling with the black energy for a long time, he finally found that he could not break the glass wall at all, so he had to bow his head in front of the reality and returned to a floating black mist, looking at Chu Jungui with one eye, while the other eye disappeared from the body.
"Where's your other eye?" Chu Jungui asked with interest.
"There is no food to eat. Save energy and take it back."
This answer was beyond Chu Jungui's expectation. This was a high-end operation. For a black energy the size of a fist, this intelligence is quite impressive.
"How can you take your eyes back?"
"Why not? Only lower beings choose fixed organs. We higher beings all customize our organs according to tasks!"
Le Mans next to him was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched his bald head, but he only touched the helmet, which felt worse than the bald head.
Chu Jungui smiled and said: "As a higher life form, eating can be omitted."
"Of course not! Absolutely not! Must not!" Black Qi's other eye appeared again to enhance the brightness of these three sentences.
"Okay, even if you need to eat, why should I give it to you?"
"You lowly reptiles can't even bring out food, so what's the point of your existence? When I'm full, I will destroy you immediately!"
Chu Jungui's smile did not change, "Then in order to avoid being destroyed, I can only make you hungry."
Heiqi was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think for a long time, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Chu Jun turned the food tray around and immediately attracted its attention, successfully disrupting its thinking process.
Black Qi's gaze became weak and uncertain, and he could barely project a single word: "Hungry..."
"Its energy levels are plummeting!" said Le Mans, who has been monitoring the data.
Chu Jungui was a little surprised, "Weren't you quite lively just now?"
"Maybe it consumes too much energy when thinking?" Le Mans was not sure.
Chu Jungui thought for a while, picked up a cup from the tray and put it in the glass cover. Black Qi immediately rushed forward, even trying to squeeze his entire body into the cup. It only has one eye left outside, and as it eats, this eye actually gets brighter and brighter.
Chu Jungui picked up two more small cups, placed them in front of the glass cover, and asked, "How did you learn to speak? Answer this question, and these are yours."
"Born."
This answer made Chu Jungui lose his temper. The test subject said patiently: "You will get nothing if you lie."
"I have been able to speak since I was conscious. Even the most primitive civilization has language. Is it any wonder that I can speak your inferior language?" Black Qi said plausibly.
This sounds fine, but when Chu Jungui looked at this black energy, he felt that it had nothing to do with higher civilization.
"Do you know any other languages?"
Heiqi didn't answer, and his eyes shined on the two cups in Chu Jungui's hands, his meaning was obvious.
Chu Jungui did not break his promise and sent two more cups in.
Only then did Hei Qi say: "There is only one kind at the moment."
"Who taught you how to speak?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"It's a natural ability."
Chu Jungui adjusted his thoughts and asked, "Then when did you meet that...Brother Dao?"
"never seen it."
"never seen it?"
"From the moment I became conscious, the first thing I saw was you, and then your kind. You seem to be more comprehensively evolved than your kind." Heiqi said.
Chu Jungui was surprised. Even Lin Xi didn't think Chu Jungui was any different from a normal person when they first met, and he suffered a big loss in the end. Now this black energy can actually tell that Chu Jungui is different from others at a glance, which is a bit extraordinary.
Chu Jungui looked calm on the surface and asked, "What's the difference between me and others?"
Black energy surged, and then he said: "According to the universal standards of intelligent life, you are much stronger than your kind, and can basically be regarded as two different species."
Le Mans was so excited that he could hardly control himself, but Chu Jungui quietly waved his hand and asked him to sit down.
"What are the universal standards for intelligent life? What are they?"
"This is basic common sense, do you need me to teach you a lesson?" Heiqi actually mocked.
"Yes, do you need to charge tuition?" Chu Jungui asked.
"Tuition?" Heiqi was a little confused, and suddenly, its two little eyes widened.
A cup was rolling and jumping between Chu Jungui's fingers, almost knocking over several times.
