Alien Knights

Chapter 171: "Earthquake" fungus

After the Battle of Muxi, the camp of the town’s guards carried out the expansion and transformation of the underground space with Todd’s approval. Hundreds of tons of grain, arrows, and herbs were transported there for centralized preservation. The need for another war.

However, after a period of observation, the war situation around Muxi Town gradually eased, and the possibility of being attacked became less and less. As a result, the underground war preparation warehouse was transformed into an underground test field.

Some sensitive and secret research has been placed here.

Although it was mid-October and the temperature was not too low, Todd wore a thick linen and entered the underground warehouse.

Every corridor and every room in the underground space is equipped with ventilation ducts above it. Dormouses injected with frozen bacteria are placed together. The hydraulic fan driven by the groundwater blows the cold air to every corner of the ground.

Therefore, the outside world may be shining brightly, but the underground is bitterly cold.

Under the guidance of the successor team, Todd walked a long curve and came to a room full of marble coffins.

The body of a sturdy man lay flat on the stone platform in the center.

Huggins stood beside the corpse, saw Todd appearing, and lowered his head in shame.

Kendy was standing next to the stone platform, carefully cutting through the skin of the deceased with a sharp blade, extracting blood and muscle tissue, and placing it under a microscope for careful observation.

Without disturbing Kendy, Todd first walked up to Huggins and asked in a low voice, "We lost six people?"

Huggins nodded and looked at the ground.

"There are only two people on the other side, and the alien that caused our casualties, I heard that it ran away?"

Beads of sweat were dripping on Huggins' forehead.

Todd sighed, said nothing, and walked towards Kendy.

Kendy lay in front of the operating table, looking at the bones of the deceased’s joints with interest, and said to Todd behind him: “In my hometown, scholars once studied earthquakes. They discovered an interesting thing. Solid soil is transformed into liquid soil. We call this phenomenon soil liquefaction."

Todd, who is not very proficient in geological tectonics and physics, asked Kendi humbly for the details.

The latter grabbed some dust from the floor of the room, took it in front of Todd and said: "The soil we usually talk about is not gravel and soil particles in the full sense, but this kind of wetness mixed with a lot of water. Mud. When these moisture-filled soft sands are stimulated by external forces and the moisture is surrounded by soil particles and cannot be discharged, the water and soil form a liquid soil that cannot bear the weight. In short, solid soil becomes liquid. soil."

Todd listened to Kendy's explanation, and got an important word—external stimulation.

Kendy clapped his hands and said: "The external force we are talking about must be a high-intensity, rapid, and continuous force, like a laundry stick that slaps clothes, but an earthquake-like intensity. Of course, ordinary people cannot achieve this. This kind of external force, but in this alien body, the impossible has become a reality."

Kendy motioned Todd to the microscope, and the latter saw a strange microorganism through the eyepiece: a tubular organism with cell walls and cytoplasm, and was colorless. It has a fairly long hypha, and there are many membranes on the hypha. This microorganism parasitizes on nerve cells and spreads between or through the cells of the host in the form of mycelium.

"These are fungi..."

Kendy was taken aback by Todd's words, and the latter asked, "Sorry, my lord, I have never heard of the term you just said. Could you please say it again?"

Todd glanced at Kendy, repeated what he had just said, and then asked, "Tell me about the results you observed."

Kendy nodded, pointing to the sample in the petri dish and said: "These little guys, called fungi, live near the nerves of the human body. They can use very fast frequencies to stimulate the nerves of the human body and stimulate the skin of the human body. A high-intensity shock is emitted, thereby simulating the earthquake environment, and finally causing the soil to liquefy. This is also the reason why he can easily turn the soil into a sphere and cause the explosion effect."

Todd nodded as he listened. There was a fungus in this barbarian alien body, clinging to nerve cells. High-frequency stimulation can trigger the human body to simulate the effect of miniature earthquakes.

"My lord, have you ever thought about what this microbial discovery represents?" Kendy said to Todd with a look of excitement.

Todd would not react for a while, and looked at Kendy for an answer.

"This means that the castle and city walls will completely withdraw from the stage of history!"

Todd was a little confused. He was talking about fungus. Why did he suddenly jump to the castle and city walls?

Kendy leaned his body closer: "I heard about the Knights’ method of siege. The most common way to deal with those tall walls and solid castles is to dig a tunnel under the wall, bury the gunpowder, and explode one. Gap. But what should I do if I encounter a fortress with a moat on the periphery..."

Todd was silent, thinking about it carefully, it seems that those in the past life and the film and television, when talking about cave blasting tactics, only mentioned the matter of burying explosives, but never mentioned how to deal with the moat.

Kendy continued: "The general method is to place the explosive at the root of the wall and detonate it, but the damage caused by this method to the wall is negligible, and it can easily be extinguished by the fuze. But there is a difference in soil liquefaction. Yes, everything will be solved easily. Because the stones are soil after all, but the arrangement of the gravel is closer, but there is still water in them, especially the stone walls next to the moat. The use of this fungus to cause an earthquake-like attack, it is The stone can be broken down and crumbled."

Todd smiled and patted Kendy on the shoulder: "There are two problems. First, you have to reach the city wall safely; second, you have to have enough earthquake intensity to destroy the city wall."

The latter blinked his eyes: "The first problem is not my business. We can solve the second problem through experiments."

Todd looked at the southern scholar wearing a turban and said with emotion: "Kendy, I have to say that the southern empire and the church area are really much better academically than lightnovelpub.net... …"

After thinking about it for a while, Kendy said: "The Southern Empire has absorbed the academic essence of Taylor's period, and doctrinally advocates learning from others; but relatively speaking, the church is more conservative..."

Todd was waiting to discuss something with Kendy. A member of the successor team hurriedly walked up to Huggins and said something in a low voice.

The latter nodded as he listened, and then said to Todd: "My lord, we just captured a member of the Legion of Strife."

Todd turned around, his eyes lit up: "Oh? Is that the guy who ran away?"

"No, it's another person. We found the mark of the Legion of Discord on his back, the serial number shows 9."
