The two of them saw another huge insect, fleshy and with a nose even fatter than an elephant's, snoring loudly while sleeping.
"This is a giant elephant-nosed insect, also a carbon-based life form. We are analyzing its genetic sequence to find the biological password of this world. Don't be fooled by its cuteness, it actually has very strong combat power. The weight can reach over two hundred tons. The most interesting thing is that it starts as a carbon-based organism in its youth, but as it grows older, it migrates to the silicon-based region and its body gradually silicifies."
"Polina, do the giant insects not attack these creatures?"
"This is another strange phenomenon we have discovered. Giant insects mainly live underground in Kepler and rarely conflict with surface organisms. However, they have a strong aggression towards humans, which goes against their nature. Especially, giant insects have a strong desire and interest in human flesh. In battles with giant insects, there are no bodies left... well, let's not talk about that." Polina changed the topic. "Kepler constantly possesses various resources and elements of cross-tech that we urgently need. The biology here has also subverted many of our previous understandings. It's like a paradise. If we can establish a foothold in Kepler, humanity will experience another civilization leap."
In terms of expertise, Polina kept talking non-stop. Working in Kepler is definitely dangerous and boring, but if you are enthusiastic about exploration, Kepler can satisfy all your curiosity.
"Polina, aren't you afraid to be here alone?" Ayouyou asked curiously.
"No, we have powerful mecha warriors to protect us. I also watch the S tournament. And... I have a guardian!"
Ayouyou smiled. "Oh, a guardian? Do you have a favorite mecha warrior?"
"Of course!" Polina nodded eagerly.
"Is it Van Levitt? Maxis? or Chao Qinglong?"
Polina is from Earth, so it's highly likely that she doesn't like the Martian style.
Polina's round face blushed unexpectedly, and she shook her head shyly. "None of them."
"Oh, it seems like it's someone you like. Who is he? It's his honor to be liked by our lovely Polina!"
Polina was surprised for a moment and quickly waved her hand. "No, no, I'm not worthy. I can only watch him from afar. In fact, I only spoke to him three times, and that was five years ago."
Ayouyou became interested in this. Polina is a league-level expert in biology, especially in the field of brain domains. She is a member of the Solar System Alliance Academy and has been cultivated since she was five or six years old. She possesses top-notch technology and dominant golden genes.
Not worthy?
It seems like she's thinking of that person. Polina suddenly became gentler.
"What's his name? Where is he? Is he in Kepler?" Ayouyou asked curiously.
Polina suddenly became melancholic. "I don't know. I haven't seen him for a long time. Every time I watch the S tournament, I just want to see if he will participate."
"Oh, if he's really powerful, he should be able to participate," Ayouyou smiled. "The S tournament gathers the most outstanding warriors in the solar system."
"No, it's Arths. He must have something that prevented him from participating. If he participates, he will definitely win!" Polina said firmly. "No one is stronger than him."
Ayouyou smiled. "Is he stronger than Van Levitt and Maxis?"
"I don't know, but he is the strongest in my heart." Polina said shyly.
"Oh, what's his name? Maybe I know him."
Polina looked around and leaned closer. "Arths, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, you don't know him. We used to call him Li Ge. He's from Earth, not from the Moon. He even saved my life."
Somehow, Ayouyou's heart skipped a beat. Hmph, Li Hao is not that honest.
"What's his full name?" Ayouyou still didn't want to wrongly accuse someone.
"Li Hao, Mu Zi Li, Ri Tian Hao." Polina's face blushed slightly. "He's very, very handsome. He looks a bit cold, but he's actually very gentle."
Ayouyou couldn't help feeling a little sour. Handsome...
But isn't being cold not related to being a senior? The senior seems quite honest, but now it seems that he would choose to save people even when he was so young.
Hmph!
"Arths, do you want to see the giant insects?" Polina suddenly said mysteriously.
"Giant insects? Can we?" Ayouyou also felt a bit excited. Although those things are scary, she also has a strong curiosity.
"Yes, but they are a bit ugly. However, if you look at them for a long time, you will discover their biological artistry." Polina had no fear of the giant insects.
Ayouyou nodded decisively. Coming to Kepler without seeing the giant insects would be incomplete.
Polina led Ayouyou to another independent area. The security here was obviously stricter, and not far away, there was a towering laser cannon tower. Such heavy equipment is common in the entire Base 5.
"It's very safe here. We have heavy firepower and a certain number of permanent troops. We also have our own mobile forces mainly for internal affairs, as well as some outdoor activities. Within a radius of ten miles, it's relatively safe. But I don't recommend individuals wandering around." Polina said, "Currently, the giant insects used for experiments in the solar system mainly come from our Base 5. The Razor, a low-level giant insect, is relatively easy to capture, while some high-level giant insects are rare. But you're lucky. We just captured a rare high-level giant insect recently - the Umbrella."
"Umbrella? What a strange name. I've never heard of such a giant insect.""Giant Insects are a very complex life system, with clear division of labor and a wide variety of species. What we've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Due to their location deep beneath the Kepler, our military forces are unable to launch an effective attack. It's not that we don't want to solve the problem once and for all, but with our current combat power, it's simply impossible unless there's a significant technological advancement," Polina said with a smile.
In fact, the top brass of the Solar System Alliance are all elites of humanity. Sometimes, seemingly irrational actions have unknown factors behind them. It's not a matter of intelligence.
"Look, this is the Razor Giant Insect. We here like to call them 'Big Claws'. They are the foundation of the Giant Insects, and their numbers seem endless. We've studied them, their lifespan is very short, normally two to three years. We don't know how they manage to reproduce continuously. Their genetic code is also very unique," Polina introduced, "On the right is the Lurker. In the wild, it's the most dangerous. Not to mention humans, even mechas can be dragged underground by them. They usually lurk underground, and some have a certain mimetic ability. They are hard to guard against, so be extra careful..."
Polina took Ayouyou to the innermost observation room. In the enclosed cage below, there was a Giant Insect about three meters long. This size was definitely petite among the Giant Insects. It was brownish-red all over, emitting a faint glow, and looked very healthy. This Giant Insect had two large pincers, a particularly large head, and a round, oval body.
"It moves by wriggling its abdomen. It looks clumsy, but it's actually quite fast, with a top speed of up to 50 kilometers per hour. Its mouth turns into a huge umbrella shape when attacking, spraying a yellow mist. We later analyzed that this mist is a particle structure mixed with magnetic force, which can resist lasers and various energy attacks. It also has considerable defense against armor-piercing bullets, rendering our missile troops and even laser cannons useless. It provides cover for the insect swarm to attack. Of course, we are now researching countermeasures."
Ayouyou had excellent vision. She focused her gaze on the Umbrella Giant Insect, which gradually enlarged and became clearer. The Giant Insect was leisurely lying in the cage, not agitated. Ayouyou looked at it as if she was looking at an alien creature, more curious than fearful. Compared to the Razor Giant Insects, which were drooling and crazily showing their claws and teeth, this Giant Insect was at most ugly.
But a few seconds later, the Umbrella Giant Insect seemed to sense something. It suddenly looked in the direction of Ayouyou and Polina, its body began to vibrate, and it abruptly started to violently ram the iron bars. Its huge mouthparts suddenly opened, revealing a large mouth full of fleshy tubes.
The sudden change made the two of them instinctively step back. The staff immediately intervened, not knowing what had caused the Giant Insect to suddenly change.
Ayouyou also quickly left, feeling a bit scared. It felt as if the Giant Insect was looking at her.
"Don't be afraid, it can't see us. This guy is probably hungry."
"What does it eat?"

"Anything. We've studied the transformation of Giant Insects. They can actually eat any material and convert it into energy. Eventually, their bodies become part of Kepler. If they weren't aggressive, they would be excellent scavengers," Polina laughed, "Arths, do you have a direction for your new song? I actually have a lot of questions I want to ask. They won't let me ask, can I?"
Polina looked at Ayouyou eagerly, feeling like she might suffocate if she couldn't speak. Scientists have a strong desire for knowledge in all areas.
"Ah, go ahead, it's nothing," Ayouyou laughed, "About Kepler, I actually wrote some about the scenery and exploration, but it lacked soul, so I deleted it. I came here this time hoping for some adventure to inspire me."
Polina looked at Ayouyou shyly, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Ayouyou showed a slight smile, "Yes, I do!"
Wow~~~~~
Polina jumped up immediately, then quickly covered her mouth, "Oh my God, how is that possible!"
"Shh, keep it a secret for me!"
"I know, I know, but how is this possible!" Polina was still unable to calm her shock.
"Funny enough, his surname is also Li, but he's not as handsome, not cool at all, and he especially likes to rescue cute girls," Ayouyou grinned, as if biting someone.
(The bosses probably know my habit. Actually, when I first set it up, the protagonist was indeed surnamed 'Wang'. As I wrote... I tearfully and silently changed it...)
