Plant Invasion [End Times]

In the two half-remaining test tubes in Professor Chu's hand, a transparent liquid lay quietly inside, as if nothing had happened just now.

Only a wet stain on his white coat showed what had just happened.

Shen Kuo saw the water stains on his sleeve, he walked over, stared at Professor Chu's sleeve, and then at the test tube in Professor Chu's hand: "Hey, did I get it out just now?"

"Yes." Professor Chu looked at him and smiled: "You once again verified my conjecture, and my idea is correct."

Both Lin Zhengshan and Shen Kuo held their breath, waiting for him to say what he had to say.

"I have been thinking about one thing, what is the difference and connection between the life essence of those aliens and us."

"I thought, today, I found it."

"As a civilization whose main body is the development of spiritual power, they have made great use of spiritual power—this can be seen from the fact that they can create things."

"However, their use of the material level is as naive as a three-year-old child, not even a three-year-old child. Their creativity is so shallow, and their thinking is also rigid. Relying on the absolute strength of their spiritual power, they still have A tightly knit social structure."

"I dare say that their body has nothing to do with what they look like. Whether it's a tree, fruit, vegetable or zombie, it's just a physical expression of their spiritual body that they choose at will. If they want, they It can be changed into any other form."

"As for us, we are a real material civilization. Relying on the knowledge of all kinds of materials, it can't be regarded as the pinnacle, and we can say a word of exquisite use. We can enter the modern society, basic necessities of life, this is all aspects of our life. Our Everything is built on matter, we use tools, use our own hands to change the world—”

"But we also have spiritual power. Even if our spiritual power is very weak and we have never been aware of it before being invaded by them, it still exists. It is all spiritual power. Why are they the only ones who can have such creations? power? Can't we control the Mother Liquor? Can't we--Create?"

Professor Chu said the last three words very softly, like a mortal whispering at the feet of a god, for fear of disturbing an inconceivable existence, but his expression was so powerful, and his eyes were so firm, looking at his Eyes, whether it is Shen Kuo or Lin Zhengshan, can't help thinking and imagining with him, the statement that sounds even weird: creation.

Are we gods?creation.That is the power of the legendary gods.

Indeed, human beings’ actions in a wide range can be regarded as creations, but that is nothing more than following the inherent laws of the universe and strictly using the rules given by the universe to turn sand into cement and stone into concrete. Steel, building flat land into high-rise buildings, and building land in the blue sea—that is a step-by-step change along the laws of matter, and every step has traces to follow, and there is no place beyond the rules.

But if we talk about turning water into iron, turning water into life, a tree, a zombie, or a fruit, then absolutely not!That goes beyond the inherent laws and violates the laws of the universe, how can something be created out of nothing!

ridiculous!Madness!madness!ignorance!

This is probably a joke that every civilized person who has received a modern education will have. Legends like alchemy are just used to prove the ignorance and stupidity of the predecessors.

However, Professor Chu said, we can.

Can we?

"I think so too." Shen Kuo said calmly.

Lin Zhengshan reacted a bit slower. After all, he is older, and he is a big bastard who only needs to think with his fists all the year round. Except for the education he received decades ago, he needs to apply it in his army. He generously returned it to his teacher.

He felt that his world view was shattered cruelly by a hammer, and the fragments of his thinking fell into a rushing river, and it seemed that the fragments of his brain flowed away with him.

"No." It took Lin Zhengshan a while to recover his voice, "Is it really okay for you two people in a materialistic society to say such idealistic words in front of me so blatantly?"

"You two, one is a world-renowned great scientist, a leader in academia, a leader in science, and a believer in materialism, and the other is a pillar of the motherland who grew up under the red flag of socialism. Are you on the way of ghosts?"

"It's not a belief in ghosts and gods." Professor Chu said seriously, "It's just another science, the science of spiritual power."

"My belief will never change. I will strive to open up a broader and more profound scientific path all my life. At this moment, I am just standing at the starting point of a broader road."

"I am honored to be the first to glimpse such a splendid landscape," he said.

Lin Zhengshan struggled to understand the meaning of his words with a distressed face.

"Shen Kuo, try again." He raised a beaker and brought it close to Shen Kuo's face, "Look at it, control it."

Shen Kuo stared at the half of the test tube, concentrating, only the thin tube of liquid remained in his eyes.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted violently. Visible to the naked eye, the liquid in the broken test tube jumped up like a siphon, forming a thin water column, but the water column only stayed in the air for half a second before falling down. After going down, the movement this time was much bigger than that just now, and half the tube of mother liquor was spilled on the ground.

Professor Chu took a small test tube again indifferently, and collected the mother liquor that condensed into water droplets on the smooth alloy floor.There was still a little left that couldn't be collected, so he didn't care, raised his face and said to Shen Kuo: "Try again, the amount on the ground is much smaller, gather them together and form a drop of water."

This time Shen Kuo did it quickly.

Professor Chu put away the drop of water, no matter how fine the liquid was, he put the test tube back into the test tube rack.

At this time, Lin Zhengshan seemed to understand a little bit, and asked a little bit: "But, I still don't understand, what does this have to do with creation? We are not creating things at all. Whether it is me or Shen Kuo, we can only Applying, applying, um, a certain amount of force to the mother liquor? How is this different from using my mind to control other objects? I just raised a piece of sand before I came here. I have been able to do this for a long time, but the force is not strong It's just big."

Professor Chu and Shen Kuo laughed together.

Professor Chu asked him: "Let me ask you, is Shen Kuo a psychic supernatural power?"

"I understand what you mean, but maybe everyone's mental power breaks through to this level, and they will have a little special ability. Maybe the mental power is strong enough to a certain level, and they can control things." Lin Zhengshan said.

"It's different, General Lin." Shen Kuo said with a smile.

"What's the difference?"

"Do you remember the video of your breakthrough earlier?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhengshan thought about it carefully, but didn't think of anything strange.

"Are you aware of the outside world when you wake up?"

"Well, it seems not." Lin Zhengshan hesitated.

"Is that because you actively controlled the mental power to move the two test tubes?" Shen Kuo continued with a smile.

"...No." Lin Zhengshan shook his head sharply this time, his eyes lit up, "I think I may have understood a little bit, let me tell you, listen to what I said, is it right?"

Professor Chu raised his eyebrows, as if to say: How can this bastard with only one nerve figure it out so quickly?

Shen Kuo waited quietly.

"I think, when I made the water in those two test tubes, er, the mother liquor move, I didn't actively manipulate the mental force to exert a force on it. Maybe it was moved by my induction? But if I If you want the sand to rise up, you must see it, know where it is, and then turn my spiritual power into my hand, grab the sand, and blow it away—is that what you mean? Shen Kuo and my spirit The ability to control objects with supernatural powers is different, he just communicated with the mother liquor and passed on his ideas, right?"

Professor Chu nodded and smiled a little: "It's almost there."

"Mother liquor, it's different from other things - try moving it directly with mental power."

Lin Zhengshan manipulated his mental power suspiciously to shake the liquid surface.

The liquid level swayed a bit.

"Huh?" Lin Zhengshan's eyes widened.

"It ran away! I haven't touched it just now!" Lin Zhengshan said in surprise.

"Yes, even if you leave the mother liquor lake, the mother liquor is still alive." Professor Chu said, "You said that your mental power cannot directly act on living things, but only indirectly on other dead things. Even if you have not yet transformed, the mother liquor It is still alive, just like the cells cultivated in our culture medium. It can communicate with the outside world to a certain extent. When your spiritual power feels it, you can communicate with it and make it become what you want. Appearance. Its distance from a truly independent creature is only an idea, or in other words, a spiritual body."

"You can't create things now, just like the captain of the plant kingdom, the general, and the mother tree can't create things. Your spiritual power level is far from enough. You should not even be as good as the captain, because you can only give the mother liquor a little influence. The captain can control a large number of plant soldiers with complete freedom, but Shen Kuo, you can barely control one plant soldier, right?"

Shen Kuo nodded.

"Only the high priest can create things, because only the high priest's spiritual power has reached the point of giving the mother liquor ideas."

"The vague theory in my heart has existed for a long time, but this idea seems too weird. I have never said it, and I have never had the opportunity to verify it. The two of you helped me take my first step today."

"Conjectures about the entire alien creature."

"My idea is that in the entire alien world, in fact, there are only two aliens who can really be counted as aliens - the high priests of the plant kingdom and the zombie empire. The others should be just the creations of the high priests in this world."

"Entering the alien space is definitely not that easy. Except for the high priest who can create things, there is no need for others to come in, because other existences can be created by the high priest. Their creativity is poor, but they are not stupid."

"The high priest comes from a civilization with a very low level of understanding of matter, just as our understanding of spiritual power is almost blank. While that civilization observed the material earth in some way, they must have also seen the earth on the earth. All kinds of objects. From the world of spiritual power to the world of matter, there needs to be material as a support. After observation, I don’t know what is the standard. Maybe plants are naturally more suitable for absorbing specific energy? He finally chose the form of plants, and then he created them in turn. After leaving the mother tree, and the general, the production leader of the mother tree, and the commander of the general commander, these should all require a certain loss of his mental body, otherwise he would not only create a limited number of plants, and then he would create endless plant soldiers. Wisdom, with only simple consciousness, is suitable as an attacker, relying on the matter he saw from the earth, coupled with his poor imagination and creativity, he created plant soldiers with various functions."

"The opposite is the same as the high priest of the zombie empire that simulates us."

"Our enemies are not billions and billions. If we add up 520 alien spaces, our real enemies are only 42 people."

"Eliminate all the high priests, our victory is won."

"Of course, this idea still lacks a lot of empirical evidence. I can't prove that it is wrong, but I can't prove that it is right. The truth is left to history to prove."

"In short, the two of you hurry up and think of a way for me. Think about how to improve your spiritual power other than absorbing energy. The remaining 520 anchor points can't reach the spiritual power of entering the alien space they are connected to. , without access to their space, we know that no amount of planning is going to work."

Lin Zhengshan and Shen Kuo glanced at each other, drooping their eyelids silently, and lowered their heads.

They should learn to get used to God's twists and turns.

"I can't think of it for the time being." Shen Kuo said, "But I think we can try to give the anchor to eat the fruit."

Professor Chu instantly understood what he meant, and then his eyes lit up and said: "Let's go back to the base immediately and set up an experimental group to see!!"

"By the way, that kid named Wei Wenhao, I heard about him. Take him more. The base seems to have found a group of newcomers with excellent mental power. You should take some of them too. We need to reach the activation limit The more people, the better."

"By the way, Shen Kuo, give Lin Zhengshan a test to see if he can use your pod. You seem to have an advantage in this regard as the anchor point, but he has already broken through the activation limit, so logically it should be fine. It can't be used. Just let me try two more times—you guys go back, I'm leaving first."

Professor Chu waved his hand casually and walked into a scientific research building.

Shen Kuo and Lin Zhengshan looked at each other and said in unison: "Go back to the training room."

The previously interrupted training resumed, but Wei Wenhao inexplicably got the opportunity to "station" in the training room like Lin Zhengshan.Space is also like water in a sponge, as long as you are willing to squeeze, there will always be some. After more than 60 people squeezed and squeezed, Wei Wenhao found a corner in the practice room to take root.

This flattered Wei Wenhao, who has always been salty fish and positioned himself as the younger brother next to the big boss, secretly pinched the tender thighs several times before he was sure it was not a dream.

Does it belong to my fate, Wei Wenhao, who possesses a special talent that he doesn’t know about, meets the magical grandfather (played by Lin Zhengshan reluctantly in friendship), gains a group of powerful teammates (very self-aware), upgrades to fight monsters (friendship with the mother tree) The fate of saving the world and ascending to the pinnacle of glory is about to begin from now on?

No matter how turbulent Wei Wenhao's heart was and how much he tried to make up his mind, Lin Zhengshan sat beside Shen Kuo, took a fava bean pod that was only half a cubic meter from Shen Kuo, his face was calm and serious, but his heart was nervous. It has "communicated" with a space storage plant soldier.

According to Shen Kuo, he should feel it instead of stretching out his mental tentacle to "touch" it, "Just like communicating with a talking creature, you have to try to send your brain waves to it."

Lin Zhengshan stared squarely at a bean pod about the size of his thumb for more than four hours, until this group came to make up for the time gap that was lost in the training room last time. Those who can go out and change to the next batch.

Lin Zhengshan's broken voice came from the training room: "I just looked at it like this, what can I see? It doesn't know me either!!"

Shen Kuo showed an innocent expression: "This...after all, it's my first time...and I'm a space power user, and you are a psych power user—how about you try another method yourself?"

Lin Zhengshan scratched his head anxiously, his tiger eyes were bigger than the pods.That bastard Wei Wenhao was still huddled in the corner, lowered his head and secretly glanced at him, and even laughed! !

——Does that silly boy think that his spiritual power is for nothing?

The next batch of more than 60 people entered the room one after another. Everyone's expressions were extremely serious, serious, and determined. They must have heard it too.Thinking of this matter, Lin Zhengshan became even more irritable.

He lowered his head in frustration, staring at the broad bean pod in the palm of his hand, it is so small that he can't even feel it, and it can't speak, so he... Lin Zhengshan scratched his head again, and then he stretched out a spiritual tentacle to touch the palm of his hand Inside the tiny pods.

Then, Lin Zhengshan's mind flashed, and an image appeared in his mind.

It was a small space that was neither too bright nor too dark. Although he didn't see it with his eyes, but felt it with his spiritual tentacles, he could "see", and this space was just right for him to look at the space. The brightness of everything inside, the space is not big, and it looks square. He easily finished feeling the space, and took out a potato from it.

"Um, this is left over from before, I forgot to take it out." Shen Kuo said a little embarrassedly.
