Galvins of the Tiga world

Chapter 601 Plants with Wisdom

It has to be admitted that, as an underground base built by the former Earth Defense Force to resist the disaster of the doomsday, the equipment and structure here are surprisingly perfect.

Jujianhui and Horii went around a lot before finally finding the right way forward.

However, the horror scenes they saw along the way refreshed the three views of the two again and again.

First of all, after entering the security door, the spores and algae growing along the walls are constantly eroding and assimilating the concrete and steel structure, giving people an extraordinarily weird feeling.

And all the concrete and steel bars that have been eroded by those spores and algae show an over-oxidized appearance.

At the same time, the oxygen production device that Horii prepared in advance did not come in handy. Instead, the protective mask that can isolate the poisonous gas had an unexpected effect.

After seeing this scene, Horii finally understood what was going on with the abnormal oxidation rate of the base gate.

Because these spores and algae that are growing and spreading wildly inside the base continuously release oxygen far exceeding the normal biological concentration.

Crucially, these plants don't even need sunlight to make oxygen.

Even in the silent and dark underground depths, these plants can synthesize a huge amount of oxygen simply by relying on other gases.

To be honest, this has broken Horii's understanding of plants!

It does not use photosynthesis, but simply collects other gases to synthesize oxygen...

Horii felt that even if he was the top botanist on earth, it would be difficult to find a reasonable explanation when he saw these weird plants.

Secondly, it is the "struggle" between those spores and algae.

Yes, these two different plants seem to come from the same source, and they also have the ability to synthesize oxygen.

But through Horii's careful observation, he found that these two plants are actually competing with each other in essence.

Algae reproduce and live continuously through other substances in the base.

Its status in this special ecological circle is a bit similar to that of a producer, but it is more domineering than ordinary producers. It does not allow other normal plants to survive within its own territory.

The spore, on the other hand, is not a pure producer.

Because the spores cannot directly decompose and reorganize other substances in the base, and then reproduce and proliferate their own quantity.

The spores are more like a special species parasitic on the algae, distorting the original shape of the algae by forcibly invading and modifying the genetic structure of the algae.

In addition, Horii also has an amazing accidental discovery.

That is, regardless of algae or spores, they are all invading the system of the base.

As if they were truly intelligent beings, the spores and algae penetrated into every corner of the base with their basic components, and thus gained the authority to control the base system.

The outermost gate of the base was closed and buried under such circumstances.

When they noticed that Megumin and Horii wanted to leave the base before, they also forcibly closed the gate.

The more he thought about it, the creepier Horii even felt that his captain was able to easily open the security door inside the base, and it was most likely only possible with their help.

Headquarters of the Victory Team.

"Captain and the others lost contact..."

As the chief liaison officer of the Victory Team, when Ye Rui contacted Ju Jianhui every 5 minutes, but never received a reply, he knew that there must be something wrong with the captain.

But the problem now is that there is also a shortage of personnel on the Victory team.

Because of the crash, Xincheng and Zongfang are still on the medical helicopter, waiting to be sent to the nearest medical institution.

Although Dagu and Lina had already driven the Victory Feiyan No. [-] and set off again.

Given their current speed, it would take half an hour at the fastest to arrive at the scene.

Besides, Dagu and Lina had consumed too much energy and stamina in the battle just now, and whether they would be able to deal with the unknown danger after arriving at the scene is still unknown.

"What should I do now..."

Staring nervously at the location where the signal disappeared, Ye Rui, who was dealing with the crisis alone for the first time, couldn't help becoming anxious.

【It seems you need help now(▼ω▼)? 】

Suddenly, a row of text appeared on the big screen in front of Ye Rui, and there was a playful emoji behind it.

Ye Rui was startled by this sudden scene, but he reacted immediately.

This is someone who bypassed the victory team's firewall and directly invaded his own system.

Combined with the other party's communication method that likes to use emoji, Ye Rui quickly locked in the "suspect".

[Carlen? 】

When Ye Rui typed out these two words tentatively, what responded to him was a more playful kaomoji.

[Congratulations on your answer (∩_∩)! 】

[It's a pity that there is no reward (￣▽￣)! 】

Seeing Karen answering himself like this, Ye Rui suddenly changed from doubt to helplessness.

Although he didn't know how Kallen got past the victory team's firewall, he wasn't surprised by it.

After all, this is a super hacker who can be compared with himself in terms of technology, and it is impossible to stop the other party without the firewall system hosted by him.

【Do you need help?I might just be able to help you here. 】

Just when Ye Rui was hesitating whether to invade Kallen in reverse, the other party took the initiative to speak again.

【help?you know what i'm thinking 】

Somewhat surprised, Ye Rui typed out these two words, and Ye Rui fully expressed his confusion.

Leaving aside whether Kallen can help her, how does she know that she is going to help now?
[Isn't it just a person who was left in the base to watch the house? 】

[I'm not Zhishu's kind of "three good students". I have always paid attention to what happened to the victory team. 】

I saw those black words flash across the screen quickly.

Along with it, there are several documents from Kallen.

"Mysterious coral meteorite from Antarctica?"

"Perfect Cell—Eblon's physiological structure?"

"The possibility of the origin of the suspected 'artificial life' - amoeba-like life forms?"

"Alternative Plan No. 954 of the Mars Environment Reconstruction Project?"

Ye Rui's eyes widened as he looked at the files marked as "top secret" on the screen, and he forgot to find out where Karen got these files from.

"These……"

[These are the documents you need, and they are also paper documents that were destroyed by some departments of TPC a long time ago (▼ω▼). 】

[As long as you forward these things to the top of TPC, they will naturally realize the seriousness of the problem. 】
