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

And the time mark in the upper right corner of the screen made him realize that the scene in front of him took place in the daytime of the Lost Star.

"It's a cloudy day."

Mao Zhengzhi explained from the side, "The radiation content in the atmosphere is much lower than before."

"Perhaps because it was too hungry, a giant worm chose to leave the canopy and go to the ground."

Accompanied by Mao Zhengzhi's explanation, the giant gnat-like insects that were close to dark green left the crown of the tree step by step, and slowly crawled down the light green trunk.

And at the root of the light green tree trunk, there are disc-shaped dark green objects.

"These are..." Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a sudden look, "The trapping organs of the giant tree?"

"That's right, the test results also show that these mushroom-like organs contain a large dose of radiation." Mao Zhengzhi nodded and replied, "They are extremely attractive to giant insects."

In the picture, after hesitating for a while, the giant worm quickly crawled towards the "bait" and gnawed on it recklessly.

In the next second, the light green tree roots buried in the ground rose high, directly dragging the giant worm into the ground.

The recording is over.

"Combining all the current data, we can easily draw a conclusion."

Mao Zhengzhi said solemnly: "These giant insects are indeed as we guessed, they are captive species of giant trees."

"Combined with the inference of the flare, the giant trees are also feeding these giant insects while greatly expanding the growth area during the harvest year, that is, when the flare occurs."

"And when Yaoliang ends, the giant tree will start to hunt and kill these giant insects."

"Of course, this is not absolute. Hunting and killing will also occur in good years, but the frequency is not high."

"Just like just now, because of the weather, the giant tree chose to kill the giant worms to supplement itself with nutrients."

"Judging from these behaviors alone, the wisdom of the giant tree may not be underestimated."

Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully, and turned to look at the seedling in the biology laboratory.

"Wait for it to grow up a bit, and start the deciphering experiment."

"Ling, let Meng Lu come over and tell her that she's coming to work!"

After the voice fell, the electronic synthesizer sounded immediately.

"Roger that!"

"Academician Meng Lu is being notified..."

ps: Happy New Year to all readers!

After laying the groundwork for so long, I finally wrote the truth about the Lost Star.

A new chapter will be added in the new year~

The current update progress (1/10), will be updated from time to time!

Chapter 616 Bioelectric Signal

While waiting, Lu Yongchang and a group of academicians around him carefully observed this fragile sapling that had grown hard in the laboratory.

According to the data from other experimental groups, they slowly adjusted various environmental parameters in the laboratory.

Moisture, radiation, temperature, atmospheric composition...

I don't know whether it is a psychological effect or what is going on, when several parameters are adjusted to the best state, Lu Yongchang seems to see the extremely thin root system of the sapling tremble a few times quickly.

It's like expressing your own joy and contentment with your comfortable surroundings.

Looking at the brighter and brighter light green leaves, a slight smile rose in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

Outside the laboratory, there was a sound of light footsteps from far to near.

Meng Lu is here.

Perhaps it was because she learned that there was a new research project, her footsteps were particularly hurried and dense!

The door of the laboratory opened slowly, and Meng Lu's voice followed.

"Professor Lu, what strange civilization has the fleet discovered this time?"

There was excitement and excitement in her voice.

Until now, she still remembers the shock brought to her by the language system of those amino giant fish.

pity……

With the outbreak of that high civilization war, the Gliese 555 star system has been completely destroyed.

The amino giant fish located in the depths of the ice giant... naturally cannot escape the fate of extinction.

Thinking of this, Meng Lu smacked her lips regretfully.

I'm afraid, in the future, she can only remember these stupid big guys from the civilization materials she compiled.

"Academician Meng, come quickly."

"Let me tell you first, this mission is much more difficult than last time, you can't run away!"

Just as Meng Lu was standing at the door of the laboratory, meditating, Lu Yongchang's voice came from the laboratory.

She froze for a moment, and walked towards the direction where the academicians gathered with some doubts.

"Professor, what are you talking about?"

"I don't even look down on research tasks that are not difficult!"

She spoke half-jokingly as she walked closer to the crowd.

Inside the curtain wall made of transparent aluminum is a spacious room with white as the main tone.

Looking at the various arrangements inside, a hint of understanding rose in Meng Lu's eyes.

This is a biological laboratory.

But then, she frowned.

In this biological laboratory, apart from the busy Type I scientific research robot, there seemed to be no other living creatures—except for the extremely thin sapling in the center.

"see it?"

"This is your research object."

Lu Yongchang's voice came from the side.

Meng Lu was stunned for a moment, raised her finger to the sapling in the transparent curtain wall with a look of surprise, and asked in an extremely strange tone: "Professor?"

"You want me to study the language system of a tree?"

"Are you... serious?"

Lu Yongchang smiled and waved to the side: "Old Mao, please explain."

"Academician Meng."

A familiar voice came from the side: "We meet again."

"Academician Mao!" Seeing Mao Zhengzhi, Meng Lu hurriedly greeted him, "You..."

Mao Zhengzhi smiled cheerfully and interrupted Meng Lu's unfinished words: "Don't worry, let me introduce you first."

"This is a plant-type highly intelligent life we ​​found on a planet."

After ten minutes.

Different from the bewildered look in the beginning, Meng Lu looked at the inconspicuous and thin sapling with a strange color in her eyes at this moment.

"Plant-type highly intelligent life..."

"The universe is so big, there are so many wonders!"

"How is it? Are you confident?" Lu Yongchang asked with a gentle smile and a gentle tone.

"..."

It is extremely rare that Meng Lu did not respond to Lu Yongchang's inquiry immediately.

After all, this is a plant-type life that has never been seen before, and it is different from those animal-type lives that rely on sound or other media to communicate.

Although academician Mao Zhengzhi introduced the information of this giant tree to her in detail, she is still in a state of confusion.

Therefore, in the face of Lv Yongchang's questioning, Meng Lu showed a deeply tangled look on her face.

After pondering for a long time, she replied hesitantly: "Professor, let me try first."

Lu Yongchang was not surprised by Meng Lu's reaction.

After all, it was a brand new field, even he did not dare to say that he could definitely decipher the language of the giant tree.

He smiled gently: "Don't put too much pressure on it."

"This is not the core research direction of the Academy of Sciences, and even if it fails, it will not have much impact."

Seeing that Meng Lu was slightly relieved, he said softly again: "During the research process, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me or Academician Mao. The Academy of Sciences will try its best to meet your requirements."

……

The research has officially begun.

According to various experiments and investigation data provided by Academician Mao Zhengzhi, Meng Lu can basically confirm that these giant trees rely on their roots to transmit information.

According to Professor Lu and Academician Mao's speculation, all the trees on the Lost Star are branches of the [-]-meter giant tree, in other words, it is a single individual life.

A problem occurred.

The value of the language system is communication, whether it is language, gestures or words, its ultimate purpose is communication.

Does an individual life really have a so-called language system without the need to communicate with the same kind?

If there is no perfect language system, the difficulty of her work will increase exponentially.

Let a tree understand the meaning of human beings, or an alien tree!

This is easier said than done!

Before the experiment started, Meng Lu had doubts about the success rate of the experiment.

Even so, she tried to start the experiment according to the normal process.

Because there is no precedent, she can only do tentative experiments according to her own understanding.

First of all, the guess of bioelectricity appeared in her mind.

In the isolated biological laboratory, a scientific research robot is carefully implanting tiny electrodes into the roots of the saplings.

Under the camera, Meng Lu could clearly see that the saplings were shaking their thin roots slightly as the scientific research robot moved, as if resisting this behavior.

As the last electrode was successfully implanted into the root system of the sapling, she was slightly relieved.

In order to reduce the irritation of the saplings during this operation, she specially chose the smallest electrode.

Fortunately, there were no surprises in the entire operation process.

She turned to look at the hologram beside her.

After waiting for a while, undulating curves appeared in the holographic image.

"Sure enough, there is bioelectric current..."

Meng Lu frowned slightly, carefully observing the fluctuation of these curves.

Chapter 617 Wrong direction?

Not long after, Meng Lu's eyes showed surprise.

These seemingly complicated biological currents do have some simple and obvious laws.

"Zero, record all bioelectrical signals, try to split and compare."

She pondered for a moment, then said again: "Compare the modeling and comparison of the frequency of changes in the magnitude of the current."

"receive."

The moment the electronic synthesizer sounded, the holographic projection on the side began to show sections of extremely similar waveforms.

This is the experience she learned while studying the language system of amino giant fish.

Amino giant fish can use the rapidly changing frequency of ultrasonic waves as the syllable and phoneme of communication, and these giant trees can also completely use the changing frequency of biological current as the basic unit of information transmission.

She doesn't want to fall twice in the same pit!
