【Earth】

The moment the alarm sounded, Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi, who were continuing to study the giant tree in the laboratory, changed their faces instantly.

The two of them looked at each other, and both saw a deep sense of anxiety in each other's eyes.

"There is something wrong with the fleet exploration team!"

Lu Yongchang calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Zero, take the picture."

"Contact Academician Zhu Ziwen."

"receive."

The holographic images change quietly.

Looking at the dense and fast moving dark green dots, Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

"Damn!"

Mao Zhengzhi subconsciously swears: "What's the situation?!"

"I thought it was the giant tree that broke out, how could it be those bugs?"

Lu Yongchang frowned and carefully looked at various data: "What's wrong... Why did these bugs run deep into the forest at night?"

“Shouldn’t they go to the surrounding waters…”

As the alarm became more and more rapid, the swarm began to attack.

Looking at the tree roots waving and driving away behind the swarm, everyone in the laboratory showed horror in their eyes!

"It will actually take the initiative to drive away the insect swarm to attack the invaders..."

Mao Zhengzhi murmured softly: "Professor, we still underestimate this giant tree too much."

"Its intelligence is probably no less than that of humans!"

Lu Yongchang did not answer.

No less than humans?

I'm afraid... it's far more than humans!

If the roots of those trees are really the nervous system, then the brain size of this towering tree will be far beyond human imagination!

With such a huge brain capacity, there is no conclusion on the level of wisdom!

Suddenly, he noticed a corner of the holographic projection.

Looking at the specially marked Gao Liang's name, Lu Yongchang frowned instantly.

"What are you doing like Zhu Ziwen..."

The electronic synthesizing sound of zero happened to ring again.

"Professor, Academician Zhu Ziwen did not respond to the communication request."

Lu Yongchang said without any hesitation, "Forcibly connect!"

"It's time, it's okay if you don't get the communication. You won't run to the starship to escape. Are you waiting to die?"

"receive!"

...

The moment the communication was connected, Zhu Ziwen's howling of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded in the laboratory!

"...Zero! Do you call this thing watermelon worm?!"

"Labor and capital believe in your evil!!!"

Lv Yongchang: "???"

The next moment, looking at the giant horny windings that were rushing into the huge holographic projection, he subconsciously took two steps back.

Hundreds of abdomen, two or three meters long, gently brushed across their faces.

Although he knew it was a holographic image, he still felt goose bumps all over his body.

"…Zero?!" he shouted in a piss, "Look at your simulation results!!"

"This tmd is also much worse!!!"

"Professor, there was insufficient observation data at that time, and there was a big gap between the simulation results and the real picture, which was normal."

Zero's electronic synthesizing sound was as calm as ever: "The lost giant insect model has been updated."

It cannot understand why Lu Yongchang, Mao Zhengzhi and others reacted so much.

In its opinion, watermelon worms or snails are all arthropods, and there is not much difference between the two.

Perhaps the biggest difference is that these creatures that are a bit sinusoidal can achieve higher crawling speeds with longer abdomen.

Lu Yongchang ignored Zero's words. He took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

"Ziwen, go back to the starship!"

"The rate of fire of the plasma cannon needs to be improved. Next time, you can add another energy storage area, but I don't know if the material strength is enough..." Zhu Ziwen's murmuring came from the communication channel.

"Zhu Ziwen!" Lu Yongchang shouted again with a high pitch.

"Ah?!" Zhu Ziwen, immersed in observation, suddenly woke up, "Professor? When did you connect to the communication?"

"It's time, you haven't returned to the Starship..."

"Professor, the situation is urgent now. I will report to you later if you have anything." Zhu Ziwen interrupted Lu Yongchang's words quickly, "I also want to record relevant data!"

After the words came to an end, the holographic communication screen that had just been connected for a few seconds returned to the initial blue interface again.

【Communication interrupted】

Looking at the row of bright white text in the center of the azure blue interface, Lu Yongchang's eyes twitched.

"This little bastard! I have to wait for him to come back..."

"Professor, calm, calm." Mao Zhengzhi, who was standing beside him, persuaded with a smile, "Since Xia Zhou let him stay by his side, it means there is not much danger."

"I think Academician Zhu's next direction is a bit tilted to individual mechas. This new research direction does require a lot of data to support it."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang shook his head, sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Of course I know this principle."

"I'm just worried about Ziwen's safety."

"After all, this is a different planet, and the creatures on it are still this form of existence that we cannot imagine..."

"Unknown means danger after all."

Mao Zhengzhi thought for a moment: "Professor, I don't think I have to worry."

"Even if the tree is intelligent and large, it is just a tree."

"According to the data sent back, the plasma cannon and some ultra-high temperature weapons have great lethality to it."

"These fleet exploration troops we sent out can easily solve a second-level civilization."

Mao Zhengzhi's words sootheed Lu Yongchang's brows a lot, but he still closely monitored the real-time battle situation presented in the holographic projection.

"Zero, send some carrier-based drones to protect the safety of Academician Zhu Ziwen and the rest of the space explorers."

"No, not enough, send ten [Golden Crows] to the place."

"When necessary..."

"Destroy this giant tree!"

"receive."
