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

Time passed little by little.

More and more sample data in holographic projections.

But Meng Lu's brows did not relax at all, instead they wrinkled deeper.

It is just the opposite of the situation encountered when studying amino giant fish.

There are too many similar waveforms in front of us!

According to the statistical data provided by Zero, more than 99% of bioelectrical signals are constantly repeating!

Experience told her that these repeated fragments are generally not of research value.

So, she set her sights on the only 1% bioelectrical signal fragment.

With just one glance, she frowned.

confusion.

This was Meng Lu's first impression of those waveforms.

The waveform is extremely messy, without any rules at all!

She looked through these bioelectrical signals carefully, trying to find out the rules in these chaotic signals.

As for Zero, he was naturally not idle.

With its huge computing power, it tries to use the exhaustive method to find the rules.

……

"call……"

Meng Lu raised her head in a daze, turned her head to look at the green sapling inside the transparent aluminum curtain wall, and smiled wryly.

After such a long period of research, she didn't find any patterns!

It seems that the 1% bioelectrical signal is really garbled!

Professor Lu was right.

The difficulty of this research task is probably far beyond her imagination!

She walked slowly to the transparent aluminum curtain wall, leaned closer to her body, and stared at the sapling with her naked eyes.

Under the right environment, its growth rate is several times faster than before.

In less than ten hours, the root volume of the sapling has increased a lot.

Seeing the gradually thicker root trembling slightly in the air, Meng Lu nodded thoughtfully.

perhaps……

She had to check the physiological structure of these roots first.

Only after she understands the structure can she "prescribe the right medicine" and find the right research path.

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Lu turned around and walked towards the experiment platform not far away.

"Academician Mao!"

She called out in a low voice: "Academician Mao, I want to know the internal structure of the root system of the giant tree."

Mao Zhengzhi, who was busy with his research work, was stunned when he heard this. After completing the operation in his hand, he raised his head and stretched out his hand to drag a holographic image.

"The internal structure of the giant tree's root system..."

"We haven't researched it thoroughly yet."

Mao Zhengzhi sighed softly: "Look, this is the anatomical model of the giant tree's roots."

"A tree root sample taken from the Lost Star." Seeing the confusion in Meng Lu's eyes, he added.

Meng Lu suddenly realized, and quickly turned her attention to the holographic model.

The model is filled with strips of extremely thin tubular structures.

These tubular structures are connected in turn to form a huge network.

In the central area of ​​the network, there is a spherical cavity.

Almost all tubular structures are connected to this cavity, or in other words, all tubular structures extend from this cavity!

Where the roots are cut off, these tubular structures come to an abrupt end.

"This is..." Meng Lu looked at Mao Zhengzhi next to her with some doubts.

Facing Meng Lu's inquiry, Mao Zhengzhi shrugged helplessly.

"do not know."

"At least until now, we don't know what these tubular structures and spherical cavities do."

"The tree roots we obtained are all dead objects, and all have been damaged to varying degrees, so the difficulty of research has increased a lot."

"As for the living tree roots..." Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and pouted towards the biological laboratory area, "In addition to the one sapling at your side, there are three other saplings that are being cultivated."

"When the cultivation is successful, maybe we can find something."

Meng Lu pondered for a moment, then said again: "I found bioelectrical signals in the roots of the saplings."

This sentence made Mao Zhengzhi's eyes suddenly brighten: "Bioelectricity?"

"Yes, the signal is strong, but..."

Meng Lu showed some hesitation on her face. After all, she hadn't found anything substantive yet.

But Mao Zhengzhi did ask repeatedly anxiously: "But what?!"

"However, more than 99% of these bioelectrical signals are repetitive, just like pulse currents, meaningless." Meng Lu pursed her lips and said with a gloomy expression, "As for the remaining 1%... "

"So far, I haven't come up with any rules."

"The signal is messy, like garbled characters."

"My intuition told me that I was going in the wrong direction of research. It seems that the tree roots do not transmit information through bioelectrical signals."

Mao Zhengzhi frowned: "Let me see those bioelectrical signals first."

Naturally, Meng Lu would not refuse this request.

Soon, the detailed experimental data was presented to her and Mao Zhengzhi.

"correct."

"Ling, call Professor Lu for me, and tell me that Academician Meng Lu has made some discoveries."

Mao Zhengzhi said in a low voice while checking the data.

……

Soon, another candidate for eyebrow fights in the laboratory was added.

Lu Yongchang looked at the experimental data provided by Meng Lu with a confused face, and was also a little confused.

He turned his head to look at the network-shaped tubular structure in the tree root anatomical model, and then at the regular but extremely chaotic bioelectrical signal data, and fell into deep thought.

"You said..."

"Is it possible that these network-shaped tubular structures are channels for bioelectrical signals, just like our neurons?" Mao Zhengzhi's eyes lighted up slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Before Meng Lu could speak, Lu Yongchang rejected Mao Zhengzhi's proposal.

"According to our observations, on the entire Forgotten Star, almost all tree roots moved at the same time."

"That is to say, it needs to transmit all information to each 'peripheral nerve' in an instant."

"With bioelectrical signals, it is impossible to accomplish such a feat."

"It's too slow!"

"If bioelectrical signals are really used for signal transmission, it may be a severely paralyzed patient with high paraplegia."

"It can't command all its roots to make such uniform movements!"

"At that time, according to our guess, it should have mastered a communication method like quantum long-distance communication..."

Chapter 618 Giant Tree Consciousness?

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang's voice gradually became deeper and deeper.

Mao Zhengzhi and Meng Lu looked at Lu Yongchang who was half-spoken in surprise.

For a moment, the two fell into confusion.

"professor?"

Looking at Lu Yongchang who suddenly fell into deep thought, Meng Lu called out cautiously in a low voice.

"I understand……"

Lv Yongchang murmured in a low voice: "The bioelectrical signal is just a pre-step in the transmission of information, it is not a medium for transmitting information!"

"Zero, draw a 3D model of bioelectrical signal transduction!"

He didn't explain much, but gave Zero the order directly.

As the azure blue particle effects slowly drifted in the air, a section of tree roots that were magnified several times and slowly trembling appeared in front of the three of them.

hum~

The bright azure blue light slowly illuminates from both sides of the tree root and completely wraps the tree root, forming two azure blue halos echoing from the beginning to the end.

This is the bioelectrical signal of the null simulation.

Afterwards, the two halos of azure blue headed towards each other and converged in the central area of ​​the tree root.

The next moment, two azure blue halos started from the central area and rushed towards the ends of the tree roots.

so back and forth.

Like a surging tide, one wave after another.

At this moment, both Lu Yongchang and the other two have noticed the law of operation of this azure blue halo!

It roughly outlines a rough mesh area, and in the center of this mesh area, there is a spherical cavity!

In connection with the internal structure of the tree root, it is not difficult to imagine that these bioelectric currents run around those tubular structures and spherical cavities!

Lv Yongchang stared blankly at the network structure and spherical cavity that glowed with bursts of azure blue light.

Due to the insufficient number of electrodes, the detection accuracy is also insufficient, and the bioelectrical signals in many detailed areas are missing.

Therefore, the structure is not clear, but rather vague, with only rough outlines.

But just like that, Lu Yongchang made a surprising discovery!

In order to verify his conjecture, he tapped on the holographic projection beside him with trembling fingers.

With his own authority, he quickly entered Zero's database.

At the bottom of the database, he found a document.

That is the research data before the human fleet left the solar system!

He quickly opened the drawing file and showed it in front of Mao Zhengzhi and Meng Lu.

"professor?"

Mao Zhengzhi frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something: "Is this the design blueprint of the first generation quantum long-distance communication device?"

"What are you doing with this?"

The human fleet has developed for hundreds of years, and the quantum long-distance communication device has been updated countless times.

In Mao Zhengzhi's view, the quantum long-distance communication device in this blueprint has fallen behind to the extreme.

As for Meng Lu at the side...

Born in Proxima Centauri, she has never seen such an "old antique".

"Correct."

Lu Yongchang didn't raise his head, but just responded lightly, and didn't even answer Mao Zhengzhi's question.

He raised his hand and selected a part of the drawing.
