Chen Chen put the box next to him, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and waited for the scanning results of the crystal.

The scanning process was unexpectedly short and completed in just a few minutes. Then the image crystal automatically returned to Chen Chen's body.

The image crystal is integrated with Chen Chen's soul, so the transmission of information with Chen Chen is also very fast, and it is completed in a moment.

After receiving the message, Chen Chen frowned and opened his eyes: "The development of things... is a bit unexpected..."

According to the scan results, this meteorite is not a fragment of an artificial creature that I guessed, but a seed.

The growth method is similar to that of plants, but the body is made of metal, a seed of a special life.

In comparison, to make the plants on the earth sprout, they need to be put into the soil and watered. Some of them need to be soaked directly in water to sprout before they can be planted in the soil.

To make this metal seed germinate, it needs to be placed in the metal element.

The pure iron element that has been refined is the most suitable, followed by aluminum element.

But these are not the key points. The key points are that this seed is scattered on the earth like a dandelion, or is artificially released and thrown onto the earth.

Or it is completely unknown if the spacecraft transporting these seeds crashed and accidentally dropped on Earth.

If it is scattered naturally, there will definitely be no relevant information on the seeds. If it is released by man, no information will be left behind.

When the Earthlings plant food or flowers, plants and trees, although they will improve the seeds, they will not be bored and engrave their names and origins on the seeds, and then plant them.

So even if it is released to the earth by man, I cannot release the information at present.

"But since I have obtained the method of planting, I can try to cultivate it myself."

"To make it sprout, it needs to be placed in iron or aluminum...uh...wait...aluminum..."

Having said this, Chen Chen suddenly realized that the box used to hold meteorites is made of aluminum!

So Chen Chen immediately sat up, took the box again, held the meteorite in both hands, lifted it up, and then found that the aluminum alloy suitcase also rose up.

Just as the plant takes root and sprouts, the roots grab the soil, the metal seeds and the aluminum suitcase are already connected.

Chen Chen put down the box and looked down at the place where the meteorite and the suitcase came into contact. He immediately found that the metal seeds were different from the germination of plants.

The place where it connects to the suitcase is not to stick out the roots and grasp them, but to blend with each other.

Just like two different colors of liquids, after mixing them together, the color will be neutralized.

Originally, the silver-white aluminum alloy suitcase chassis, where the meteorites come into contact with the meteorite, was dyed with the black meteorites, and the color of the black meteorites and suitcases has become a little lighter.

Without high temperature refining, two different metals began to merge!

If an ordinary person watches this scene, he will definitely be shocked.

But Chen Chen was very calm. Not to mention that Chen Chen had basically understood the life form of this metal seed, and Chen Chen's own experience was not comparable to that of any person on earth.

Chen Chen's second life's interstellar civilization empire has a direct rule almost as large as a Milky Way.

All kinds of intelligent lives live in the empire and feed all kinds of strange creatures.

Chen Chen has seen and heard of various strange substances and life, including various forms of silicon-based life, metal life, and magnetic field life.

Silicon-based life looks like a stone, metal life is more like a plant. As for magnetic field life, it is like a ghost, invisible and intangible.

So now when seeing the metal seeds and suitcases merge, Chen Chen just felt novel and without any mystery or fear.

But not being afraid or not being afraid does not mean being left alone.

Chen Chen has the interest in cultivating it, but he cannot let it grow freely. It must be completely under his control.

So Chen Chen released the image crystal again. This time, instead of scanning the metal seeds, the image crystal was directly immersed in it.

Chen Chen knew that the way metal life was conceived and grown was similar to that of plants, but when she matured, it was more like a mechanical structure.

All kinds of machinery on the earth actually have a control circuit. The slightly more complex ones also have memory chips to store user settings. The most complex ones will be directly controlled by computers.

And in such a metal life body, there is also a similar structure, and its function is actually very similar to that of human souls.

It’s just that because this control system is too simple, it can only make simple stress movements without any intelligence, so it cannot be called the soul.

Therefore, Chen Chen called this structure the "core consciousness body".

Chen Chen now uses the image crystal to erase the original consciousness of the seed, and then generates a consciousness that is completely under his control.

This is like completely formatting the original system of the computer and installing a brand new system yourself.

The consciousness body made of crystals is much higher than the original metal seeds.

If the original consciousness body is a simple mechanical control software, the image crystal can generate this brand new consciousness body, then it will be a complete operating system.

It turns out that the growth of metal life is almost instinct, without knowing how to choose, constantly absorbing metal elements and then forcibly stacking them together.

Their final appearance can be the shape of any creature near their bodies, or it may be completely indescribable.

Now that the image crystal takes over its control, it can refine the absorbed metal elements, just like peeling off, and expel useless impurities.

In this way, the metal component can be adjusted to the most appropriate proportion, and at the same time, its appearance can be controlled and its growth will be in the direction set by Chen Chen.

The work of imaging the crystal was quickly completed, flew out of the meteorite and returned to Chen Chen's body.

Then, Chen Chen looked at the meteorite suddenly shook.

It turned out that the charred shell was like the walls of an old house, falling down one by one as the meteorite trembled.

The meteorite kept shaking and the shell kept falling.

Moreover, the peeling layer was more than one layer, just like an onion, peeled off one layer and another layer.

Every time a layer falls off, the color of the meteorite turns whiter.

In just a few minutes, the meteorite, which was originally as big as a high school textbook and was more than 10 cm thick, was left with only a metal ball the size of an egg.

Its color has also changed from burnt black to shiny metallic silver.

This is the effect of Chen Chen controlling the seeds and using its innate ability to remove all the impurities it brings from the mother body and the burning marks left when it passes through the atmosphere.

However, the remaining metal balls are not just iron elements, but also some other ingredients.

It was not that Chen Chen could not rule out, but that it was left intentionally.
Chapter completed!
