"professor."

The electronic synthesis sound of zero starts: "The radiation intensity of all samples has been detected."

"The data has been sorted out."

As he finished speaking, a holographic chart slowly emerged in front of Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi's eyes.

Looking at the data in the chart, the doubts on Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi's faces gradually became stronger.

According to the detection of scientific research robots, the radiation contained in those wide blades is the weakest.

Bark is second.

The trunk concentration is slightly higher.

This was all within the expectations of Lu Yongchang and others. They could even foresee that the radiation intensity at the roots of these giant trees might be far beyond that of other areas.

But what they didn't expect was that the fungus that grew on the bottom of the giant tree had extremely high radiation properties!

Its strength is hundreds of times that of the leaf area and dozens of times that of the tree trunk area!

"This is strange..."

Mao Zhengzhi frowned and murmured to himself: "With the barrier of the tree canopy, these bacteria should not be able to contact the radiation."

"Even if they can absorb radiation substances in the trunk, their radiation intensity cannot exceed the trunk area..."

Lu Yongchang didn't say anything, but just reached out and held his chin and stared at the fungus organism in the holographic image with a huge bacterial cap and extremely bright color.

After pondering for a long time, he spoke.

"Zero, sampling, and compare giant trees and fungi from the cell level."

Mao Zhengzhi turned around and looked at Lu Yongchang with surprise.

"professor?"

"You are..."

Lu Yongchang chuckled: "It's just a guess."

"In the picture sent back by the detector at that time, these bacteria grew in the root area of ​​the tree trunk."

“There are no traces of fungi growth in the surface soil.”

"What did you think of?"

Mao Zhengzhi's eyes widened a little, and he said with an incredible look in his eyes: "You are suspicious that these fungi... no, these things that are very similar to fungi are part of the giant tree?"

He looked at the radiation detection data and murmured to himself: "So... these things may be the organs of giant trees that store nutrients?"

"It's strange enough, no plant can put the organs that store nutrients in this place..."

As he said that, Mao Zhengzhi smiled and shook his head: "Isn't this easy to be eaten by other creatures?"

There was no smile on Lu Yongchang's face.

He nodded with a serious expression: "It is very likely that it is the organ of the giant tree."

"But I'm afraid... it won't be the organ that giant trees store nutrients."

"Hmm?" Mao Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yongchang with some confusion, "What does this mean?"

"What did you think of its bright appearance?"

Lu Yongchang stared straight at the every move of the scientific research robot in the picture, and murmured in a low voice: "These giant trees... are probably a bit different from what we imagined!"

Mao Zhengzhi's eyes were filled with heavy doubts at first, but a few seconds later, the doubts in his eyes instantly dissipated, leaving only a natural fear!

"Professor, you mean..."

Mao Zhengzhi only felt a chill coming from behind. He swallowed hard, and said with a trembling voice: "These things that look like mushrooms are the predatory organs of giant trees?"

Plant predation, although rare, does exist.

Even on Earth, Nepenthes, Venus flytrap... these plants will prey on insects to provide nutrition for themselves.

They even evolved unique predatory organs for this purpose.

Just like a giant tree on the lost star.

But the volume of the two is not of the same specification.

Mao Zhengzhi subconsciously took a step back, his face full of horror: "So... this planet is a cage full of countless baits?"

Lu Yongchang whispered toward the holographic projection: "There hasn't been a result yet."

"Maybe my guesses are wrong or maybe..."

"Professor, the comparison work has been completed, and the similarity between the two is close to 99.9%.

The laboratory returned to death.

...

"Tap...tap...tap..."

[Earth] In the office, Lu Yongchang sat behind the desk, subconsciously bent his knuckles and gently tapped the desk in front of him.

Above the desk is a holographic image of a planet.

"The Lost Star..."

He frowned and murmured in a low voice.

The benefits are very high and the risks are also very high.

Not to mention those arthropods, but only those giant trees that may have a tendency to prey may cause great losses to landing operations.

Normally, he should now focus on the black hole.

After completing a series of research, we will use the curvature engine to go to the habitable star system.

This is the ideal path for human civilization.

But thinking of that extremely grand war and the powerful radiation resistance of these giant trees, Lu Yongchang's heart was like being scratched by a cat.

"Professor, Academician Zhu Ziwen is here to visit."

The electronic synthesized sound pulled Lu Yongchang out of his endless entanglement.

"Zhu Ziwen?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and said excitedly: "Let him come in!"

...

"Professor, I'm disturbing you."

The door opened, and Zhu Ziwen's voice came in from the door.

Lu Yongchang raised his head and stared at Zhu Ziwen who was strode into the office.

Compared with the original, Zhu Ziwen seemed to be much more mature, and his eyes were also shining with a wise light.

Looking at this academician from the Proxima Centar era, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before we knew it, Proxima Centaria's generation can no longer be considered a new generation.

"do not bother."

Lu Yongchang smiled gently, raised his finger and pointed to the seat in front of him: "Sit down."

"I guess, are you bringing me good news?"

In front of Lu Yongchang, the serious expression on Zhu Ziwen's face gradually dissipated, and a slightly shy smile appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

"Professor, I heard you are going to organize planetary scouts to land on the deserted stars?"

Lu Yongchang laughed silently, straightened his body slightly, and said half-jokingly: "Yes, why don't you want to go to the Lost Star, do you?"

The shy smile on Zhu Ziwen's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious.

“Yes, professor.”

Lv Yongchang: "???"

This is true that he can't mess with.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent emotions, and after careful consideration of the words, he said:

"Ziwen, although you are not an academician in biology."

"But you should have heard some news, too."

"The Lost Star is dangerous."

Zhu Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Professor, of course I know."

"This is also the reason why I applied to go to the Lost Star."

As if he noticed Lu Yongchang's somewhat surprised eyes, Zhu Ziwen explained again.
