Chapter 1027: Too Full

  Chapter 1027 Overeating

  [A “wave” is suspected to have erupted in the forest of Baiyue Province? ! The aliens from Nanmen II said – you are suspected to be a little too urbanized.

  ——”Goblin Observer”]

  [It is reported that the Gaia planet envoy who is visiting the French Fries Port has shown psychic characteristics and successfully established a mental connection with the mutant slime mold mother nest of Baiyue Province, accelerating the growth of plants in the area! It

  is not clear at present what the specific effect and scope of this ability are, and whether it can be used in other fields. We call on the Alliance to disclose more valuable information to satisfy the curiosity of the majority of wastelanders and to resolve the concerns of His Majesty Saren.

  According to gossip, since learning that the Alliance has mastered more powerful mind interference technology, the respected Majesty has moved from the original bedroom to the iron house.

  ——”Survivor Daily·New Xifan Port Edition”

  ]

  …

  Dawn City, the manager’s office of the Alliance Building.

  Chu Guang, sitting at his desk, listened carefully to Heya’s report on the latest research progress on the mother nest of Baiyue Province.

  ”The results of the analysis are out. The suspected ‘wave’ phenomenon in Baiyue Province is due to a special pheromone released by the original strain of Naguo, which catalyzes the accelerated growth of vegetation in the forest.”

  When she said this, Heya paused for a moment and continued.

  ”According to our research, this pheromone not only accelerates the growth of vegetation, but also prolongs the estrus period of animals, thereby accelerating the reproduction rate of local wild animals… These clues are enough to prove that the ecological environment of Baiyue Province is completely dominated by the mother nest consciousness active in the area.”

  Good guy.

  Prolonging the estrus period of animals is okay…

  Chu Guang’s expression was a little weird, and he suddenly wondered if this would accelerate the population growth in the Baiyue Strait area.

  But this kind of thing cannot be seen in the short term.

  Moreover, unlike humans and animals, the desire to reproduce is not entirely dominated by the lower body, but also houses and cars and a lot of messy things.

  He coughed lightly and said.

  ”So… the ‘wave’ that occurred in Baiyue Province was not actually expanding the mother nest, but the forest affected by the ‘mother nest’?”

  ”You can understand it that way, but the mother nest also expanded. After all, the original strain of Naguo has a symbiotic relationship with the animals and plants in the area,” Heya nodded and continued in a concise tone, “It is reasonable to speculate that the ecological maintenance system of Nanmen II is also based on a similar principle… a collective consciousness is formed by multiple life forms, and the regulation of the ecosystem is completed according to the autonomous consciousness of the collective consciousness.”

  This sounds a bit awkward.

  In short, Gaia is not just a slime mold. The slime mold observed by people is just its projection in the three-dimensional world.

  Chu Guang tried to understand it, and said with his index finger pressed on his forehead.

  ”The one of Nanmen II is a fully functional version, and the one of Baiyue Province is a castrated version… Is that what you mean?”

  ”From the perspective of the form of existence alone, it is indeed so!”

  Heya looked at him with a sharp gaze and continued in a serious tone.

  ”The ‘Tree of Insof’ of Nanmen II has no visible entity in three-dimensional space. Even if it is destroyed countless times by neutron torpedoes, it can still completely reset the destroyed ecosystem. The mother nest in Baiyue Province has a specific entity, and it is the original strain of Naguo that grows near the roots of the plant. As long as the original strain of Naguo is destroyed, it can be removed from the land of Baiyue Province!”

  ”But! From a practical point of view, its function has not been castrated much. On the contrary, it may be more in line with our needs than Nanmen II’s ecosystem maintenance device! Having an entity means that we can control it more easily, and it is conducive to our communication and even trading with it!”

  ”It does sound interesting…” Chu Guang’s face showed a thoughtful expression, and his index finger tapped rhythmically on the desk.

  After a while, he looked at Heya and said in a half-joking tone.

  ”I even think that it might be used to help us transform a few more habitable planets.”

  Heya showed a happy smile on her face.

  ”I think so too.”

  Although Xiaoyu also has similar abilities, the ecosystem formed by Xiaoyu’s slime mold is too single in all senses.

  No matter how many ways its fruiting bodies change, they are essentially just slime molds and cannot evolve into forests or grasslands.

  The mother nest of Baiyue Province is different.

  It can break through the DNA isolation between species and form a biosphere composed of multiple species.

  As a part of the entire biosphere, it only plays a very small part in it!

  Even after completing the planetary transformation, it can be removed from the already stable ecosystem or shrunk to a specific province! From

  a technical point of view, it is entirely possible to achieve it!

  Chu Guang even thought that maybe he didn’t need to solve this problem from a technical point of view, and maybe he could just have a discussion with that guy.

  For example, every time this guy transforms a habitable planet, he will set aside a nature reserve similar to the Baiyue Province on the planet for it to stay.

  Looking at Chu Guang who was lost in thought, Heya couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.

  She guessed that this guy must be thinking about how to use this mother nest to maximize the interests of the alliance.

  But these things are not her job.

  After completing the report, she put away the tablet in her hand and said in a gentle tone.

  ”……The above is the latest research progress of the Biological Research Institute. If there are any new discoveries, I will report to you in time!”

  Chu Guang, who had finished his contemplation, looked up at her and nodded with a smile.

  ”Well, I’ll wait for your good news.”

  To be honest, the Alliance has so many excellent brains, and his presence as a manager is really not high. After all, someone else has done everything.

  Sometimes he envied those players.

  Especially Ye Shi.

  There are few people in the entire server whose experience is more legendary than this guy, so much so that he wants to open a small account and go to the forum to attack the dog planner.

  Watching He Ya leave, Chu Guang picked up the tablet on the table and was about to take a look at the research report on the “perforator” by the scientific expedition team. Suddenly, there was another knock on the door that had just been closed. The office secretary walked in with a bill.

  The secretary was transferred from the players’ merchant guild to the Alliance Building as a clerical worker. Her name was Shuangxue.

  Speaking of which, she was one of the first residents of the Alliance, and she seemed to be from the “Frostspear tribe”.

  Of course, after living in the alliance for so long, those refugees who have settled down no longer use that rustic name.

  Chu Guang remembered that after several demolitions and the absorption of new tribesmen, the refugees of the Frostspear tribe had renamed their village Frostspear Town.

  Among the several town-level administrative units under the jurisdiction of Dawn City, this town with a name that sounds full of martial virtues can be said to have caught up with the dividends of the development of the times and was the first to become rich.

  ”…Sir, the Ministry of Finance sent a bill for the state compensation applied by the French Fries Port City Hall.” Seeing Chu Guang looking at this side with a smile, Shuangxue felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, as if steam was about to float out.

  Chu Guang did not observe her mental activities carefully, but just remembered the past things when he was touched by the scene, smiled and nodded and said.

  ”Put it on my desk.”

  ”Okay.” Shuangxue replied slightly stiffly, nodded and put the document neatly on a corner of the desk, and then hurriedly slipped out of the office with a red face before revealing the flaws.

  Chu Guang reached out and took the bill from the Ministry of Finance and took a look.

  According to the assessment of the financial staff of the French Fries Port City Hall, the experimental behavior of the Alliance Biological Research Institute that exceeded expectations caused a direct economic loss of nearly 7 million silver coins.

  Therefore, French Fries Port hopes to obtain state compensation from the Ministry of Finance.

  The Ministry of Finance reviewed the amount and figures of the bill, and after confirming that there was no problem, according to the statutory procedures for special budget approval, the relevant application was transferred to the manager’s office for signature.

  And this is probably the only thing Chu Guang needs to do in person today.

  Chu Guang read the bill and application documents from beginning to end, confirmed that there was no problem, and reached out to take the pen for signing in the drawer.

  However, the moment he opened the drawer, the whole person was stunned.

  ”Xiao Qi, have you seen my pen? The one for signing.”

  He signed a lot of documents with that pen, and planned to collect it as a decoration after retirement, but how come it disappeared?

  ”Eh?! It’s not in the drawer?”

  Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, was also stunned. He jumped off the pen holder and moved to the drawer, and was surprised to see that the pen in the drawer had disappeared.

  ”Strange…”

  It clearly remembered that it was here…

  Although Chu Guang also found it a little unbelievable, after all, it was not an important document that was lost, but just a pen.

  ”Maybe I put it in my pocket after signing it…”

  After calming down, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi who was lying next to the drawer and said.

  ”Please ask the staff of the office secretariat to send another pen over.”

  ”Received!” Xiao Qi nodded, called the staff of the secretariat, and then looked at Chu Guang and asked, “Master, don’t you need to tell the people of the Guards? Although it’s just a pen, this is your office. Xiao Qi thinks it should be taken seriously.”

  Although he felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration, Chu Guang thought about it and it seemed to make some sense, so he nodded and said.

  ”Tell Lu Bei about it.”

  …

  French Fries Port.

  In a resort hotel not far from the beach, a group of people were resting after having a good meal.

  The little koala became interested in the marble statues in the hotel garden.

  Especially after learning that the designer was a Weilant artist, it wanted to go to Triumph City to take a look.

  I heard there are many similar artworks there.

  As for Professor Sun Zewen, he still followed the robot that was said to have a “machine soul” as before, with enthusiasm burning in his eyes and mumbling non-stop. The

  old professor’s appearance of immortality when they first met was gone in him.

  His personality was completely broken.

  In addition.

  Due to the forest wave incident in Baiyue Province, the number of entourage accompanying the second envoy of Nanmen to visit the “ancestor” planet suddenly increased a lot, becoming a sightseeing group of more than 50 people.

  In addition to social science researchers, a large number of researchers from the Alliance Biological Research Institute were also added.

  For example, Ms. Chen.

  Influenced by her, Lao Bai, who was preparing for the counterattack on the Lagrange point space station at the military base near the space elevator, was also pulled over. As an accompanying bodyguard, he was responsible for the safety of the researchers in the Biological Research Institute to prevent the spies of the Enlightenment Society from making big news or something.

  After all, the Baiyue Strait is not in the core control area of ​​the alliance, and security issues still need to be paid attention to.

  But Lao Bai felt that it didn’t make any difference whether he had one more or one less.

  After all, the “strongest perception player” of the Burning Legion was following in the team, and it was hard for him to imagine what kind of spy could get the idea of ​​these guys.

  Not to mention that this perception player had recently unlocked the only “psychic” talent in the entire server.

  The assassin of the Enlightenment Society might have been caught before he even showed up, which was no different from giving away his head.

  Just when Lao Bai was dozing off, Dora, who was looking at the stars in the sky, suddenly remembered what happened during the day, and looked at Ye Shi with curious eyes and asked.

  ”Speaking of which, what exactly is that ‘fertilizer’?”

  Today, she saw too many things she had never seen before, so she forgot the thing that made her feel the most incredible and curious.

  This question was a bit beyond the scope, and Ye Shi scratched the back of his head for a long time, trying to explain it in a way that she could understand.

  ”To put it simply… it is a stimulant used on plants, and I can’t explain the details clearly.”

  Dora nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked excitedly.

  ”Then will our tribe, the Doma people… also have this ability in the future?”

  Ye Shi thought for a while and said.

  ”It’s a bit difficult to tell the truth.”

  Those big eyes that couldn’t hide the truth quickly showed disappointment, and Dora said in a lost whisper.

  ”Why?”

  Ye Shi made a helpless expression.

  ”If I tell the truth… because you are too full, there is probably no need to invent such things.”

  Just by acting coquettishly with the sacred tree, you can harvest a large basket of fruits, and by negotiating with the pterosaurs in the sky, you can know the migration trajectory of the herd and the movement of prey.

  This ability has reached the scope of magic, and it can even be said to be magic in a certain sense.

  In addition, the biological resources of the Gaia planet are inexhaustible, and they have lived a life of food and clothing for centuries in advance.

  He can imagine the migrating Qiu people starving on the road, but he can’t imagine the hungry look of those forest people.

  Farming?

  Fertilizer?

  What is that?

  Doesn’t food fall from the sky?

  From the perspective of a forest man, Dora couldn’t fully understand what he said, but instinctively felt that the “ancestor” must be right, and she couldn’t help feeling a little depressed.

  But at this time, another ancestor next to her put his hand on her shoulder.

  ”Not necessarily.”

  Dora raised her head and saw that the sister named Han Mingyue smiled at her and continued in a pleasant voice.

  ”Hunger, war, poverty, disease… these factors do play the role of catalysts in the development of civilization. Their existence forces civilization to step out of its original comfort zone and take the initiative to change the status quo. But I still have to say that it’s not only these negative factors that can serve as catalysts, some positive factors can also serve as catalysts.”

  Ye Shi raised his eyebrows with interest.

  ”For example?”

  Han Mingyue said with a smile.

  ”For example, eating too full.”

  ”Pfft, eating too full is okay…” Ye Shi was about to give an example to refute, but then he thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

  Aren’t the players in this situation?

  Because they were too full, they did some strange things all day, which actually promoted the economic growth of the alliance.

  In fact, it was not just the players. As the wastelanders gradually got rid of the precarious life of exile and lived a “full” life in various settlements of the alliance, they also played an unexpected role in various industries and fields. The

  most typical example of this happened to be in the French Fries Port under their feet.

  The “Abu Aerospace” founded by the former commander of the Borneo Kingdom.

  Since its establishment, it has recruited many skilled workers who fled from Borneo Province and engineers from the South Sea Alliance.

  Relying on the recycling and integration of the technology of the aerospace industry chain of the Prosperous Era, this company has shown a trend of emerging in the fields of plasma engines, aerospace semiconductors and control devices, and has increasingly participated in the space industry chain of the alliance.

  It is hard to imagine that this is a start-up company.

  And the person who founded it was just a laborer who moved boxes at the dock a long time ago.

  ”It seems to be true now that you put it that way.”

  Seeing that he could not argue with this expert, Ye Shi turned 180 degrees on the spot and looked at Dora on the side and coughed.

  ”Look, I’m not completely right either. I have my own limitations… Of course, the same goes for her. What she said doesn’t necessarily mean it’s correct. Just listen to it.” The

  second half of the sentence was added purely to save face.

  Although he is no longer like he used to be, sometimes it’s not so easy to change some things that have become habits.

  In comparison, Dr. Han is indeed much more mature.

  Looking at Ye Shi who was forcibly saving face, she nodded with a smile and accepted this step, then looked at Dora who looked confused and said.

  ”That’s true. What I said doesn’t mean it’s correct. It’s just some theoretical things, for reference only.”

  Dora looked at the two ancestors blankly and said puzzledly.

  ”Then what is it? Correct.”

  Ye Shi shook his head.

  ”There is no such thing. Whether I said it or she said it, it is just a point of view. Just like you use religion to explain the existence of the Insof Tree, we use the theory of dimension to explain its phenomenon… We will not say that your method is completely wrong, but it lacks objectivity. And for you, this lack of objective explanation may not be worse than our explanation.”

  Knowledge that cannot be passed on has no meaning. The existence of the Doma people has proved this.

  The sixteen crew members taught the dimensional theory that they may not fully understand to the tribes in the forest, but the final result is that those forest people still live in the trees more than a hundred years later.

  On the contrary, Dr. Qiu Shiye did not teach his “spiritual descendants” too much difficult knowledge, but only taught them some simple and practical techniques such as drilling wood to make fire, metallurgy forging, burning lime, and slash-and-burn farming.

  With the help of these practical techniques, the Qiu people used their creativity to live in stone houses first, and even figured out the “lizard stirrup” that the ancestors did not teach them, and trained the primitive tribal version of shock cavalry.

  If the area where they lived had not been confined to the forbidden forest by conservative ideas, the spiritualists in the forest would have been wiped out by this group of armed materialists.

  Looking at Dora, who seemed to understand, Han Mingyue smiled and nodded, and continued what Ye Shi had not finished saying.

  ”That’s it, you don’t have to be too anxious. Standing at the height of civilization, you have enough time to gradually understand everything that you didn’t understand before, and you will understand what you should understand.”

  ”As for people in the present, you only need to live a good life in the present and make preparations for the future you can see.”

  ”As for things that are further away, that is not something you should consider now.”
