Chapter 603: Plant Civilization
After a few minutes of explanation, Lu Yongchang looked at the "video of events" thoughtfully.
"You mean, the roots of these giant trees can attack life forms like animals?"
Zhu Ziwen nodded quickly and affirmed: "I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Professor, do you remember the abnormal vibration during the first login operation?"
"At that time, detectors everywhere detected abnormal vibrations almost at the same time."
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Zhu Ziwen raised his hand and scratched his forehead anxiously.
After all, he is not a biology major, and he is a little confused when it comes to professional knowledge.
"I feel that these giant trees may be alive... not right, I can't say that, it should be said, conscious."
“They can pass…”
"Tsk!" Zhu Ziwen twitched irritably, "Professor, I don't know how to express it..."
"You mean, these giant trees are living beings with consciousness and thinking, and can communicate with each other in real time, right?"
A familiar voice sounded from the side.
The next moment, Academician Mao Zhengzhi came to the camera.
His eyes were filled with a faint light of excitement: "Interesting, this is an interesting point of view!"
"I had imagined such a life form very early on."
"I didn't expect to meet here!"
Lu Yongchang frowned: "Civilized?"
"Can these giant trees be called civilization?"
"Professor, don't think so." Mao Zhengzhi looked through the video materials sent back by Zhu Ziwen and said excitedly, "What's wrong with the plant? Can't plants develop a smart civilization?"
"Wisdom is never a privilege for animals."
"Think about it carefully."
"During the first login operation, the detector logged in successfully and began sampling."
“Because the specific situation of each area is different, the sampling process is also different.”
"But the abnormal vibration phenomenon occurred at the same time!"
"If these vibrations were made by these giant trees, what does that mean?"
"Communication Network?" Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly and he asked in a low voice.
"No, no, no, not just the communication network." Mao Zhengzhi raised a finger and shook it gently, "The key point is not the world, but at the same time."
Hearing this, Lu Yongchang reacted instantly.
He exclaimed: "No delayed communication?"
“Quantum Communication Technology?!”
"By the way!" Mao Zhengzhi clapped his hands hard and said excitedly, "They may have mastered quantum communication technology!"
"Isn't this still a word for civilization?"
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and suppressed the violent shock in his heart.
According to the classification of the technology tree, quantum communication technology is located at the top of the first-level civilization technology tree.
In other words, once this conjecture is confirmed, the giant tree on this lost star is no matter how good it is, a smart creature that is about to enter a second-level civilization!
"How to prove it?"
Mao Zhengzhi's words aroused Lu Yongchang's curiosity.
He could not imagine what these plants rely on to achieve quantum communication!
"Proof?" Mao Zhengzhi raised his hand, gently touched his chin, and began to think carefully.
Suddenly, he shouted.
"Who... Zhu Ziwen is right?"
"Fortunately you are on the Lost Star. Tell those explorers not to mess around. If you make trouble for these giant trees, the consequences may be unimaginable."
"According to the past actions of those barbarians, what would happen in the end..." ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
Zhu Ziwen's mouth twitched slightly and nodded quickly.
While sending messages to Xia Zhou and others, he turned his head to look at the huge "tarmac".
Is there a possibility that they have already made these giant trees angry?
"As for the proof method..." Mao Zhengzhi blew his mouth towards the huge holographic projection in the distance. "It will take a lot of time to model the entire planet, but the underground modeling work in the Arctic region is almost completed."
"If I'm right, the roots of these giant trees should be extremely developed."
"And, they have many root systems that are interconnected, which should be their communication network."
...
Time passes by bit by bit.
Without the orders of Lu Yongchang and others, the planetary scout team could only stand on time.
The day gradually passed and the night fell.
[Earth].
Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi stared at the huge holographic image ahead with serious expressions.
As the huge holographic 3D model appears little by little, an extremely complex world gradually appears before the two of them.
On the surface, a giant tree as high as 12,000 meters tall stood in the sky!
At its feet, "saplings" of hundreds of meters high form form a lush forest around it.
The lens gradually moves downward.
Hundred meters underground.
Here, there are almost all the intricate roots.
Rather than saying that there is a little soil mixed with roots in the soil.
According to the detection data sent back by the detector, the diameter of most tree roots is between 0.5m-2m.
It is easy to judge that these "small" tree roots belong to those "saplings" of the 100-meter level.
From a distance, these fine and dense roots are like a mess, entangled with each other.
But as the camera kept getting closer, Lu Yongchang was extremely surprised to find that the arrangement of these tree roots was extremely orderly!
Not bad, it's order!
Just like a planned road, the thicker diameter tree roots are connected to each other, forming a "main road" that runs through each "sapling".
The roots with slightly thinner diameters are evenly distributed around these "main roads".
The thinner roots are erected in shallow surface areas, like hunters waiting for the arrival of their prey.
The lens continues to move down.
As the depth decreases, the number of "fine" tree roots becomes smaller and smaller.
They gradually converge and gather into large tree roots with diameters of more than 3 meters!
Kilometers underground.
A large number of tree roots with diameters of up to five meters are gathered here.
It is already difficult to see the shadows of the "tiny" tree roots around them.
Unlike near-surface areas, these thick tree roots no longer meet with each other, but extend straight toward the ground.
It's like there's something underground that attracts them.
There is nothing special here, the lens can only move down quickly.
Unlike the previous 1,000 meters, the next journey seems extremely boring.
The increase in depth did not increase the diameter of the tree roots.
It's as if they've reached their limits.
Until ten thousand meters underground.
These straight "falling" roots, like tap water pipes, all merge into the same destination.
A piece of tree root with a diameter of 100 meters!
This section of tree roots comes from that 12,000-meter giant tree!
It extends around in a 10,000-meter underground area. Although it has not completed the underground modeling of the entire planet, Lu Yongchang can foresee that this section of tree roots must surround the entire lost star!
"Tsk."
"It's strange." Mao Zhengzhi frowned slightly and twitched softly.
Chapter completed!
