It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Ready to detonate the hydrogen bomb at any time!"

Order issued.

The densely packed micro-drones swooped down from tens of thousands of meters high and came under the canopy of the [-]-meter giant tree.

Then, it hovered quietly in front of it.

Maybe he noticed something, after a short wait, the roots that were exposed to the ground slowly retracted back to the ground.

The driven giant worms fled in all directions the moment they realized that the tree roots had disappeared!

The tarmac finally returned to calm.

"Everyone, enter the starship immediately!"

Xia Zhou let out a long breath, and gave the order softly.

Bet right.

Academician Zhu is right, these giant trees are very intelligent!

Judging from the current situation, their intelligence is probably no less than that of humans!

"Team Xia!"

Su Pengfei's shout came from the communication channel: "You are the only one left, come back quickly!"

"The starship is about to take off!!!"

Xia Zhou came back to his senses suddenly, glanced at the crooked forest in front of him with great fear, turned around and ran a few steps, and jumped into the cabin.

next second.

Driven by the anti-matter engine, starships rose from the ground and rushed towards the endless starry sky.

Those micro-drones also began to withdraw slowly.

When everything returned to tranquility, tree roots drilled out from the ground, silently "stroking" those [-]-meter giant trees that were blown down by the shock wave, as if mourning for something.

This scene was clearly and completely recorded by the detector flying high in the sky.

Chapter 610 New Directions

【Earth】

Lu Yongchang looked at the picture in the holographic image seriously.

"The wisdom of this giant tree is really not low."

There was a bit of excitement in his eyes: "I wonder if I can communicate with it?"

Lu Yongchang's words immediately aroused Mao Zhengzhi's interest.

"comminicate?"

"Hey! Don't say it! You really don't say it!"

Mao Zhengzhi murmured excitedly: "If our speculation is correct, communication is completely feasible!"

"As long as we decipher their language system and signal transmission method!"

Lu Yongchang shrugged, raised his finger and pointed at the two huge craters filled with "broken leaves and roots" in the holographic projection, and said helplessly: "Do you think..."

"How are we going to do the analysis now?"

Mao Zhengzhi's excited expression suddenly froze.

"This……"

His lips trembled slightly, and he tapped on the laboratory table next to him angrily, complaining in a low voice: "This, these barbarians!"

"It's so good, even the hydrogen bomb is used!"

"That's all right now, this giant tree probably guards us like it guards against thieves!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Seeing Mao Zhengzhi's reaction, Lu Yongchang smiled suddenly, "In Jushu's view, we are real invaders."

"Don't talk about research, in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to log in."

The corner of Mao Zhengzhi's mouth twitched lightly.

This is an unprecedented plant civilization!

Seeing the research opportunity wasted in vain, his heart hurts like being cut by a knife!

"If only I could sneak up on a tree..."

Mao Zhengzhi muttered to himself.

"What are you kidding?" Lu Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi beside him with horror, "If it's a dead thing, then there's nothing wrong with it."

"But it is a living thing! You have seen the speed and strength of the root."

"The outer armor made of star gold-carbyne composite material can be punched with a dent!"

"How about...you go down and give it an anesthesia shot?" Lu Yongchang said half-jokingly.

Mao Zhengzhi didn't speak, but just stared blankly at the holographic projection in front of him.

It seemed that he was really considering Lu Yongchang's proposal in detail.

Lu Yongchang followed Mao Zhengzhi's gaze.

That is the picture in the biological laboratory.

Robots dedicated to scientific research are conducting detailed research on various giant tree tissue samples.

"There is..."

"There is a way!"

Mao Zhengzhi's murmur came from the side.

At the same time, Lu Yongchang seemed to understand something, with a smile of enlightenment on his face.

"You want to use these organizations to re-grow a juvenile giant tree?" He asked Mao Zhengzhi directly.

Mao Zhengzhi was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Professor, you also thought of this method!"

"That's right." He turned his expectant eyes to the picture coming from the biology laboratory, "Fortunately, according to the test report, these giant trees are cell-like structures."

"Although it is very different from the plants on the earth, we still found the existence of suspected genetic material in these basic structures similar to cells."

"The research robot found this type of genetic material in every tissue sample."

"Having genetic material suggests that these cell-like structures may be totipotent."

The so-called cell totipotency means that cells that have differentiated still have the potential to develop into a complete living body.

Whether it is an animal or a plant, as long as it is a multicellular organism, their cells have all the genes for individual development.

This means that, given conditions permitting, a single cell can develop into a complete individual.

Of course, in animal cells, because the degree of differentiation is too high, the differentiation potential of cells becomes narrower and narrower, and the conditions for achieving totipotency become more and more harsh.

And for plants, at least, for plants on earth, even highly differentiated plant cells have the ability to develop into complete plants!

The so-called rebirth from a drop of blood is nothing more than that!

And since this giant tree has a cell-like structure and genetic material, maybe it also has omnipotence?

"Start the experiment now!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang said with some excitement: "First use radiation with different intensity gradients to stimulate the sample."

"If it can really differentiate and grow again..."

"This may be our only chance to spy on this wonderful creature!"

"It's not enough." Mao Zhengzhi interrupted Lu Yongchang's words, "Radiation intensity is indeed a crucial factor."

"But moisture, temperature..."

"These variables all have to be taken into account."

While speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples lightly: "Professor, don't be in a hurry to experiment, I'll make a detailed experiment plan first."

……

After the order was issued, the scientific research robot began the experiment meticulously according to the stimulus plan discussed by a group of academicians.

Because of the ignorance of this strange life, the so-called stimulus plan is actually crossing the river by feeling the stones.

At least, before the start of the experiment, it is unknown what effect each stimulus plan can have on the organization of these giant trees.

The power of scientific research robots is fully revealed at this moment.

Different from people.

Under zero control, it can work day and night and maintain the highest working intensity for a long time!

It is also true that the cultivation experiment is progressing rapidly.

Different from previous experiments, this time, the Academy of Sciences...or the luck of mankind seems to have started to improve.

Not long after the experiment started, good news came from one group of samples.

But it brought even greater doubts to Lu Yongchang and others.

"The variable of moisture will have an impact, which is predictable." Mao Zhengzhi frowned, shaking his head again and again, "But how could there be so little moisture?"

In the experimental data in the holographic projection, the samples with the least moisture showed some changes.

Amazingly, the less water there was, the more noticeable the changes appeared in the tissue samples!

"perhaps……"

Lu Yongchang looked at the experimental data in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "This planet didn't have much water resources at the beginning?"

"It's rare, but it can happen."

"Think about it, how did the water resources on Dawn come from?"

Mao Zhengzhi suddenly realized: "According to what you mean, the abundant water resources on the Lost Star are also foreign objects, and what's more, it happens to suppress the growth environment of these giant trees?"

Lu Yongchang turned his head to look at the model of the Lost Star, and nodded thoughtfully.

"The reason why those giant worms gather by the waters may be for this reason..."

ps: Thank you for the great god certification of my sleepy boss!

Chapter 611 Hit a Wall

Once again the long night fell.

Different from the swaggering appearance in the past, an arthropod-like creature carefully poked its head out from the wide leaves.

It widened its six pairs of small eyes, raised its head and looked towards the sky.

The night is dark.

Logically speaking, it should be safe.

But yesterday's lesson tells it that the era of peace has not yet come, and it still needs to be cautious at night.

It rubbed its way to the ground along the thick and strong trunk, and was ready to turn around and run away at any time.

On the way to the ground, it saw the huge circular pit in the distance.

The tall trees, on the edge of this huge pit, are as small as ordinary twigs.

It stopped in its tracks, and the six pairs of eyes showed a touch of fear.

What happened last night slowly emerged in his mind.

Huge ball of light, accompanied by warm and pleasant "sunbathing"...

Logically speaking, that should be a good symbol.

But this time, it was the scythe held high by the god of death!

I don't know how many of the same kind died in that shocking change.

There was a bit of sadness in the depths of its eyes.

But as it continued to crawl down, the deep pit in the distance was gradually covered by crooked trees, and it left this bad memory behind.
