Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

The Federation had secretly prepared so many forces and deployed them on the Alliance Star. Fortunately, Xiao Yun had not arranged any other actions except for the first time he sent people to kidnap two alien warriors.

Otherwise, the result would definitely be quite tragic. The final result of rushing in without any preparation would probably be to force a way out. He was not worried that the people he sent out would suffer heavy losses because of these ambushes and arrangements. What he was worried about was that the federation might suffer heavy losses.

Because if he really wants to send someone over, he will definitely call that stupid bird, the original demon.

The general attack had already begun, but Xiao Yun led his men back at this time. Under such a large number, the individual's combat power would only be compressed indefinitely. It's not that the individual's strength is meaningless. If it was Silly Bird leading the charge, the effect would still be powerful, but if it was them, it would really not have much effect.

The most important thing now is to bring the captured alien knight back to the rear. Now the whole world knows that Dawn has captured a knight in public. Xiao Yun doesn't need to care whether other forces have successful examples, but now Dawn has announced to the world that they have obtained the entry ticket to alien research, and no matter what related things they research in the future, they will have a suitable reason.

The fighting lasted for several days without stopping for even a minute. The entire human army advanced steadily, and various changes occurred on the front battlefield. As the battle line advanced, more powerful zoophytes appeared, as well as some completely new species. More and more large species also appeared in the sight of the human army, as well as even larger zoophytes comparable to battleships.

The closer to the white hole, the stronger the resistance will be, and the more large-scale insects will be faced. The larger species already have the ability to release energy attacks, but even so, in just a few days, the human side has advanced at least thousands of kilometers forward, as if the war is under control. However, the top brass of the federal army are not so optimistic. If the situation continues like this, the situation will probably become more difficult.

Xiao Yun had the same idea. Although he did not continue to attack the front line, he had been paying attention to the progress of the entire battle. He also discovered that the zoophytes were getting bigger and bigger and their individual strength was getting stronger and stronger. Moreover, in the gradual advancement, the losses on the human side were also quite heavy. There was no scene of sweeping all the way. Many human warships were shot down and many soldiers died. As the environment became more and more complex, the situation they had to face became more difficult.

It seems that the real victory or defeat can only be decided when the Federation's ace fleet arrives, and there is no guarantee that the alien race may deploy even more powerful forces.

But if you think about it carefully, the aliens are not good people either. They actually maintain the same attitude as the Federation and are quietly accumulating strength to prepare for a big wave. Both sides are actually maintaining normal confrontation and fighting while accumulating troops and thinking about launching a wave.

Once again returning to Fortress X, someone reported that a major breakthrough had been made in the research on the branches of the World Tree. Xiao Yun ran over with great interest to see what was going on.

When Xiao Yun saw the branch again, he was also shocked. He remembered that it was a very small tree before. He didn't expect that it had become a big tree that he had to hug after such a short period of time.

"Growing so fast? What did you eat to grow up?"

The head of the research team immediately became interested. "Sir, this tree eats everything, including plant nutrients, insect photosynthesis, and anything useful to plants. Its root system is well developed and its conversion rate is very high. Normally, it would be impossible for it to grow so fast, but we have found the most suitable environment and nutrients for its growth. This plant is too terrifying. As long as there is enough time, whether it is ten, twenty or thirty years, its well-developed root system can absorb all the nutrients on the planet to make itself grow. Eventually, the fallen branches and sap will revitalize the ground."

"Sir, this plant will eventually become the only species on a planet. Except for other life forms that can coexist with it, all other things will be devoured by this plant. This is not something born naturally, but something that was created. We found that this plant has undergone highly confidential genetic adjustments. There are even many genetic sequences that we cannot analyze now, as well as some things that cannot be understood by genetic sequences. This thing is both a plant and a living thing."

Xiao Yun looked at the somewhat excited research leader and said, "Aren't plants living things? Are you trying to fool me into thinking I don't understand science?"

"No, I mean this is a real living plant that has some characteristics of plants, microorganisms and animals. It is something made under extremely high science. It doesn't even need oxygen to survive."

Xiao Yun was a little surprised: "No need for oxygen? Not at all?"

The person in charge shook his head. "No, not all organisms need oxygen to survive, but without oxygen, their growth rate will be reduced to the extreme. There is even a saying in the scientific community that although oxygen is the source of life, it is also a poison. It is because of oxygen that human life span is limited. However, as long as there is energy and nutrition, plants can survive and continue to grow without oxygen."

Xiao Yun asked a question that he was more concerned about: "Where are the seeds... no, the fruits?"

The researchers gave a very affirmative answer: "No, there is no such thing. This thing will not bear fruit, at least not this one in our hands. It will only grow indefinitely."

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, nothing else, such as whether it will deform?"

The head of the research had a question mark on his face: “???????”

Xiao Yun said: "For example, turning into a super-large plant-type monster."

The head of the research looked at the big tree behind the glass, wondering how a tree could turn into a monster, but he just couldn't imagine such a scene.

Xiao Yun was puzzled, and asked a more critical question from the perspective of an illiterate person: "Didn't you just say that this thing has the characteristics of plants, microorganisms, and animals at the same time? Isn't it impossible to accomplish such a transformation?"

This sentence stunned the person in charge of the research. He was stunned for a moment, and then fell into doubt and thinking about the world.

The researcher slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief: "Hiss, sir... what you said seems to make sense. If that's the case, this thing can also be considered an animal. This tree may also have meaningless hair to the World Tree itself. What about reproductive organs? What about the brain? Even plants should have these things. If they can't bloom or bear fruit, they must have seeds. Do they rely entirely on autotransplantation?"

"But the data clearly shows that this thing is controllable. It is controllable by those aliens. But how can this thing be controlled?"

Seeing that his leader had fallen into a trance, Xiao Yun immediately shut up and slowly backed out. Before leaving, he couldn't help but say one more thing: "Maybe the growth direction has been determined since the larvae, and different genetic characteristics will be activated when needed?"

"Determine the direction of growth and activate genetic characteristics?"

By the time the person in charge turned around and looked up, Xiao Yun had already run away. He went to World No. 1 and slept comfortably in the arms of Lux, whose body was gradually becoming fuller but softer.

After eating and drinking, this guy returned to Fortress X again, and was immediately notified by X to go to the World Tree Research Group again.

When I came over again to take a look, the tree that I saw yesterday had changed its appearance again. All the bare branches had been cut off and hung in the air, and someone was dealing with the tree's developed root system.

The person in charge who had not slept for a night appeared in front of Xiao Yun again, but he still looked energetic. After all, there was no effect at all on using the body of the transformer without sleeping for a night.

“This is changing really fast.”

The person in charge said, "Sir, yesterday we applied for a new experiment, and we have now determined that this plant is a polymorphic organism."

"Is this confirmed?" Xiao Yun took a breath and hissed, "Tell me about it."

"We used nanorobots to devour all the cut branches, leaves and roots, and finally, with the help of X, we simulated and mimicked them, trying to restore the plant to its original form. Although the process was difficult, we still found a direction and finally confirmed what you said, sir. This organism is indeed capable of multiple forms of transformation, but as long as the corresponding genetic characteristics are stimulated, the development is fixed."

Xiao Yun understood what the other party meant, but he didn't understand how the other party did it.

"Just one night?"

The person in charge nodded. "It could also be that we were lucky and it only took one night. The backtracking process may not be completely correct, but the extraction process is definitely fine. This is just an experiment, but through this experiment we can basically confirm this."

The person in charge raised his hand and signaled, and some images suddenly popped up on the glass in front of Xiao Yun. After seeing these images, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

But soon this expression disappeared and turned into a look of "as expected".

There are some strange things in the picture, which are indeed very strange, but you can also see some shadows of zoophytes.

"Well done." Xiao Yun patted the person in charge on the shoulder and turned away, quickly returning to World 0. He didn't even have time to go to the bridge and quickly picked up the communicator in his room: "Hurry up and contact the highest person in charge of the Federation Army for me."

"clear."

Xiao Yun felt that there was a problem. Why did the aliens have to plant trees? It was not just planting trees, they were actually making their own biological weapons. No wonder they were acting out such a big drama with the Federation. They were basically making their own weapons, a biological weapon, just like the Federation. Everything was just a disguise and a performance.

The communication was connected, and a familiar voice came into Xiao Yun's ears.

"President Shi Zhen, is there anything you want me to do for you?"

Xiao Yun asked directly: "Commander, has your Federation ever conducted any research on alien plants?"

This made the other party pause for a moment, and then said: "Of course, we have conducted research on more than just plants. We have also conducted research on zoophytes and alien warriors, but I cannot explain the specific research details for now. Isn't Shuguang also conducting research now? If we can find something, I can propose a charter for us to cooperate with each other. We definitely believe in Shuguang's technical strength, and we are looking forward to Shuguang joining the research project."

"I'll just say what I want to say." Xiao Yun didn't waste any more time and said directly: "My people have studied the plant and found that this plant has multiple characteristics of microorganisms, organisms and plants..."

The other side paused and said, "Please wait a moment. I will switch to multi-party communication now."

After waiting for about a minute, Xiao Yun also switched the communication mode to video communication. The ground commander and a white-haired researcher in a white coat who was about fifty years old appeared on the screen.

"Doctor Kula, this is Mr. Shizhen Xiaoyun, the president of Shuguang. President Shizhen, this is Dr. Kula, the technical director of our alien research. Doctor, President Shizhen's Shuguang researcher seems to have discovered something in research. You can exchange ideas."

Dr. Kula pushed up his glasses and said, "Aurora Industries? What did you find?"

"Listen to me." Xiao Yun said in a tone of voice, "Our Shuguang's research on the World Tree found that the World Tree has multiple genetic characteristics of microorganisms, plants, and animals."

Dr. Kula said, "Yes, we have also discovered that as long as we conduct in-depth research on the World Tree samples, we will soon get the answer. It is precisely because of this reason that the World Tree has such a terrifying growth ability. We have been studying the World Tree for a long time. It is not bad that you have come to such a conclusion after such a short period of research. I can also tell you that the World Tree cannot be a natural product, it is definitely the result of technology."

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever studied the multiple forms of the World Tree?"

Dr. Kula's face was full of question marks: "??? What do you mean by multi-form?"

Xiao Yun said: "The World Tree may be a large biological arsenal, or it may be a super biological weapon itself. Moreover, according to the existing data cards, it is an energy transmission pipeline and a plant of zoophytes. Have you ever considered the possibility that this is a comprehensive super biological factory? Perhaps the plant characteristics of zoophytes are not simple racial characteristics, but because zoophytes and the World Tree are originally the same thing."

The ground commander's expression froze, and Xiao Yun noticed that his eyes were obviously moving to other places. After a few seconds, he asked in a deep voice: "President Shi Zhen, I need your research data on the World Tree."

Xiao Yun said: "I'm sorry, this information needs some time to be sorted out, but we only came to this conclusion through reverse research and inference on cell genes. Shuguang has deep technical accumulation in this area, and the specific technical product is the treatment cabin."

Dr. Kula suddenly said, "The treatment cabin is a product of your Shuguang? Then your Shuguang's idea is indeed possible. If it were someone else, I would slap him in the face. You are definitely the best in cell gene technology. At first, I thought about the symbiotic relationship between zoophytes and the world tree, and I also wondered why the number of zoophytes was so large. However, insects reproduce very quickly, so there is no way to verify it. I have also considered that the world tree may be the mother nest of zoophytes, but I have never thought that plants can create animals."
