David rubbed his eyes, completely unable to believe what he saw. This creature, which could be called a dragon for the time being, did not even touch a drop of water, and its whole body emitted a golden light that was many times more dazzling than before it shrunk.

, a bit like the golden dragon in ancient Chinese mythology, except that its head is different, and there is a pair of scales on its back, which are also covered with scales. The entire shape is similar to the golden wings of a bat. And the end of its long tail is a bit like the earth's.

Lobster tail.

David looked at the dragon with wide eyes and said: "Muma, ask it again, how does it become so big and then small? Muma, Muma?"

When he turned around, he saw Muma kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and his whole body was trembling.

The dragon shook its head, shook a pair of golden tentacles about one foot long that grew out from under its lower two mouths, and said something to Muma "Jiligulu".

After Muma calmed down, she raised her head cautiously and said to David in English: "Mystical beast, ask, what is your relationship with those extraterrestrial invaders? Why do they have the same divine power? Also ask,

Why would I say what you said?"

David asked: "Mythical beast?"

Muma said: "I remembered, my mother's mother told me that it, in our words, translated into English, probably called a mythical beast. We pronounce it, Wu Enji. We, cave

,The wall is also painted with long strips, wings, that can fly, can become bigger or smaller, and have many magical powers. They are our ancestors and patron saints, but I thought it was just a legend. I didn’t expect that

There really is, Wu Enji. It’s a mythical beast.”

David said: "Wu Enji, it's so confusing. From now on we will call this species dragon. Tell it everything you know. But remember to ask the question I just asked."

After more than ten minutes of communication, Long roughly understood the origin of David and his relationship with Muma, as well as some situations in the human base.

At the same time, it did not conceal its characteristics and asked Muma to tell David that its name was Zhuowu.

As for why it can become bigger and smaller, it doesn't quite understand the specific principle. It only knows that it is born with it. When it is in the water, it can make itself bigger by absorbing water. On land, it can absorb the moisture in the atmosphere.

These are just much slower than in water.

Moreover, it can become invisible and spit out yellow flames. It was demonstrated several times on the spot, which made Muma even more admired.

After David got Zhuowu's permission through Muma's translation, he took out a small flashlight from his backpack, touched Zhuowu's body here and there, and asked Zhuowu to demonstrate a few more times of becoming larger and smaller, as well as becoming invisible.

, and fly.

After preliminary analysis, David believes that most of the cells in Zhuowu's body can absorb water at any time and increase its size by tens of millions of times, just like a compressed black fungus the size of a matchbox can create a large basin after being soaked in water.

And Zhuowu can control how big it becomes at will. The biggest appearance is the state when it appears.

Being able to become invisible means that all its cells, bones, scales and other tissues have become transparent, rather than being truly invisible. When it enters the invisible state, you can see the refraction of light by shining a flashlight on its location. You can also see some

The very embarrassing food and “waiting” excrement in the stomach.

David continued to use a flashlight to carefully examine the invisible Zhuowu, and found that its bones were actually only more than two meters long. The transparent state they presented was slightly different from the transparent state of blood, flesh and other cells. With careful resolution, they could barely be distinguished.

No matter how big it gets, the size of the skeleton, actual fangs, scales and claws, horns, guts, and brain remains the same.

Why is it called "real fangs, scales, claws, and horns"? Because the Zhuowu's inflated fangs, claws, and horns look huge, but they are actually relatively soft, and are all made of enlarging cells.

Not the original claws, scales and horns.

Moreover, it should be able to control the ratio of water and air in its cells freely. David even believed that Zhuowu may have the ability to decompose hydrogen in the air and replace the gas in the abdominal cavity and cells, so that his huge body can withstand the pressure of neighboring cells.

Planet B can still move with a gravity of about 14.00N/kg. At the same time, it can ignite hydrogen and emit fire.

But the flames that Zhuowu emitted were yellow, and when talking about the flammability of hydrogen, most chemistry textbooks pointed out: "Pure hydrogen burns in the air, producing a light blue flame." So why did David guess that it was?

What about hydrogen?

In fact, during school experiments, it is easy for the hydrogen flame to turn yellow. Some people think that it is because the glass tube used in the experiment contains sodium salt, and the flame color of sodium appears when burning, which is why it appears yellow.

Zhuowu's teeth and mouth are obviously not made of glass. In fact, that is because the oxygen content in the atmosphere of Proxima Centauri b is very high, and the higher the oxygen content, the yellower the flame will be when mixed with hydrogen.

The principle is: the first thing formed by hydrogen combustion is gaseous water molecules, which may be excited in the exothermic reaction system. From spectral analysis, it is known that H?O has a very broad and strong vibration-rotation band in the near-infrared region.

These weaker wings in the flame will extend to the red ** of the visible spectrum. According to statistical thermodynamics, the vibration-rotation partition function of water molecules is related to the excited temperature. When the temperature is higher, the more water molecules are in the excited state

, the stronger the spectrum produced by radiation. Therefore, as the flame temperature increases, the vibration-rotation red band of H?O becomes more obvious. The greater the relative amount of oxygen during hydrogen combustion, the more intense the combustion, and the higher the temperature of the flame.

, the more red components the flame has, the red vibration-transition band spectrum of H?O in pure oxygen complements the blue band spectrum of H·+·OH→H?O+Hv in the hydrogen flame to form an orange-yellow color.

As for how Zhuowu ignited the hydrogen, David thought for a moment, took out a lighter, and after lighting it, asked Muma to ask Zhuowu if he could spray "this kind of thing" again.

Zhuowu seemed to appreciate David's ability to create flames. He nodded and sprayed out another stream of flames. David carefully observed the ignition method and found that sparks were generated by the collision and friction of any two sets of upper, lower, left, and right teeth.

It seems that the teeth are harder than some metals.

At the same time, David believes that when Zhuowu becomes very large, his combat effectiveness is actually lower than in his true state, because turning and moving can no longer be supported by bones, but rely on controlling changes in gas content in cells throughout the body and the expansion and contraction of muscles.

Relatively slow and unable to fly.

Zhuowu told Mu Ma and David that the most powerful thing about the Wu Enji race is that when they shrink to their smallest size, they are extremely powerful and have sharp claws. They can even bite rocks, tear open big trees, and drill into the ground to fight.

The cave moves forward quickly. The second is its intelligence. It considers itself to be the smartest creature in this "world".

It's just because the reproductive ability of their own race is very weak. They live for a long, long, long time, and when their life span is about to end, they will reproduce asexually and produce an offspring. Moreover, their races will fight with each other to compete for territory, so the number is extremely rare. It

I have seen less than ten of its kind, and five of them were killed by it.

The above refers to a long, long, long time. Zhuowu's original words refer to hundreds of times the life cycle of the Muma race.

David counted on his fingers and found that Muma's lifespan is about 20 years, hundreds of times...

Then David asked Muma to ask Zhuowu why he didn't show up earlier... causing him to run out of bullets.

Zhuowu said that there was an egg in its belly, which meant that its life cycle was coming to an end. He was planning to go to Muma's tribe and hand over the egg to a certain warrior of "Kaka" to take care of him. Then he met Muma and

David.

A long, long time ago, it was also adopted by a warrior of "Kaka" and learned the language of "Kaka". Later, after the warrior passed away, Zhuowu saw things and missed people, and did not want to live in the "Kaka" ethnic group.

After staying near the area for a long time, he came out to "explore the world".

By chance, he saw a human helicopter chasing two monkeys. Zhuowu, who was watching the fun in hiding, then discovered that David could actually use the "magic wand" to fight back the helicopter and even kill "Siva" with the cooperation of Muma.

, Zhuowu thinks that the relationship between Muma and David is so good, the two monkeys should be able to protect and teach their offspring together.

As for waiting for David to run out of bullets before showing up just now, it was because he wanted to further test the courage and fighting ability of the two monkeys.

Moreover, in Zhuowu's knowledge, who knows that the powerful "magic wand" in David's hand consumes limited "fuel" or other things, so when he sees that the "magic wand" will no longer spray out

The fire killed "Siwa", and the two monkeys faced real danger, so they immediately took action to drive away the "Siwa" group.

The two monkeys were besieged by the "Siva" army because they carried a large amount of "Siva" dried meat and leather, and the smell emitted made the "Siva" think that the two monkeys were their enemies.

At this time, Muma was translating Zhuowu's words, and her eyes gradually showed excitement.

According to legend, being qualified to take care of the descendants of mythical beasts means that one's status in the tribe can rise rapidly, and one can even become the leader of the tribe like the warrior Zhuo Wu mentioned many years ago.

The selection of the patriarch of the "Kaka" ethnic group does not pay attention to gender or origin. Whoever has strong abilities and can protect and develop his or her ethnic group can be qualified for the position of patriarch.

David was extremely excited at this time, because the first thing he thought of was whether he could ask Zhuowu to help him regain the command of the human advance army.

Thinking of this, David said to Muma: "Muma, can we not go home first and let Zhuowu help us arrest Joseph, and then I will fly you back in a helicopter myself?"

Mu Ma turned her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
