Three months passed in a hurry...

This can be said to be the busiest and fulfilling three months for Wu Peng and Sun Yuting. The pleasure of solving the mystery bit by bit made the two of them completely forget to eat and sleep, and they were addicted to it. Wu Peng's girlfriend and colleagues also gave great support, because this is the cultural atmosphere in Kunlun Mountains, and exploring mystery is more important than anything else.

A big secret!

As the investigation deepened, the complete paper finally came out, which really caused a huge sensation in the human society in Kunlun Mountain!

This paper analyzes the birth time of the "World Tree" from the biological gene level, geographical level and religious record level.

“…That is, 150,000 years ago, the so-called ‘world tree’ was born from this world!”

"...The reason why we think that it has a certain probability is that it was transformed by aliens through genetic modification technology is based on the following reasons." Sun Yuting put on formal clothes and delivered her paper speech on stage.

As soon as he heard this conclusion, the person sitting below had a small commotion.

Zhang Yuan also showed an interesting look. What did these young people discover?

"First, we found the predecessor of the 'World Tree' from fossils of geography, a tall tree named hw88987. Look, this is the fossil of this tree..."

A fossil of a tree is displayed on the screen. It has become black and shiny because it has been buried underground for too long, a bit like a change in direction of coal.

But it is not real coal, but it has become something similar to sinking wood anyway.

This is the first time that Sun Yuting has spoken in front of so many scholars. She was a little nervous at the beginning, but when it comes to her professional field, she quickly became confident.

"...This plant has a very high similarity to the World Tree from the genetic material level. It is still present in some of the primeval forests on this planet. After field investigation, we found that it can grow up to 40 meters at a maximum of about 10 meters in diameter. Although it can be regarded as a towering tree, it is far from the size of the World Tree."

Comparing the photos, the size is like an eagle or a little chick.

"And there is no unique biological material in the tree center of hw88987, nor does it have a corresponding evolutionary trend... So, there is a large fault between the two species."

Zhang Yuan touched his chin, and this statement made some sense. However, there were more creatures with evolutionary faults in the middle. For example, in the evolution step of ancient apes, there was a step too large, which was a bit incredible.

In fact, there are only a very small number of species, because they are too lucky, they can leave a relatively complete record of the evolution process. Most organisms will never find the record of the fossils.

Therefore, the lack of fossils is likely to be due to the lack of fossils, which is directly attributed to alien transformation, which is insufficient.

Sun Yuting continued to explain: "This kind of hw88987 plant has a very big disadvantage compared to the World Tree. The World Tree can be said to be a comprehensive optimization. It can grow taller, occupy higher sunlight, resist drought, have very strong vitality, and can resist more viruses... There are too many genetic changes in it."

"And between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago, the environment was very stable, and the entire planet did not change much. Why did a species suddenly evolve with a stable environment? This does not conform to the laws of species evolution."

Evolution often follows the principle of "enough enough" rather than the artist's general perfectionism principle. hw88987 is already a very excellent plant and cannot be extinct at all. Why suddenly evolve to a level that other species are insurmountable?

Several biologists below showed a thoughtful expression, and one of them questioned: "Ms. Sun, what you said is that alien genetic modification is not impossible, but it is still a little abrupt..."

"From the genetic perspective, we did not find too obvious traces of genetic modification. Is it because the biotechnology of this alien civilization is too superb that we can't see it at all? Or, in the past 100,000 years, after generations of natural reproduction, this genetic modification has gradually been smoothed out..."

"By the way, have you found the most original World Tree fossil specimen and sequenced it? Or have you found records of indigenous people's contact with alien civilizations in religious books? If there is evidence in this regard..."

"I'm sorry, there is no direct evidence. The most original World Tree fossil specimen did not find any suspicious traces from the genetic level." Sun Yuting shook her head, "The historical records in this regard have been completely cut off. The religious records of the Riley civilization have not directly contacted the information of aliens... At least there is no, or in other words, only some inexplicable and difficult to interpret information."

She blushed slightly. Although she had spent a lot of effort on checking information, it was impossible to check all the historical documents of Riley Civilization by relying on a few people in the working group.

So, if some information is missing...

However, the longer the information is, the less it can be passed down, and they have already read through the same information.

"In the religious records of the Riley civilization, the information about the world tree appeared about 150,000 years ago..."

This religious record is as follows:

It was an era full of famine. The gods had not favored them for a long time. The sky no longer rained, and a severe drought caused a large number of plants to dry up and die.

In that era, the Riley people had written, animal husbandry, agriculture and collection, but under the great disaster, a large number of tribes were still in famine.

In order to get rid of the dilemma of survival and find more food and water, the tribe sent a group of the bravest warriors to leave their territory and move towards the unknown nature...

There are many religious fables in the middle, and there is no need to say more about the stories I encountered along the way...

In a word, in the end, the warriors of the Riley civilization finally went through a lot of hardships to find a large forest composed of world trees!

At this point, the "World Tree" has become a link in religion and is called... "the gift of the gods"!

"We investigated the area in the religious story, a large number of fossil specimens were found in this area. Because the fallen trees were unable to rot for a long time, they have evolved into a large organic mine, but the Rileys have no way to use it. The atmospheric oxygen content is low, and these organic mines cannot burn."

Another photo appeared on the big screen, which shows human geography workers inspecting this organic mineral mine. More than 100,000 years have not been enough to completely convert organic matter into coal, but these mineral veins are still very high-quality organic matter.
