Chapter 409: Blessings and Misfortunes lurk
When such a special branch is attacked, the branch will quickly attack anything that damages it. However, since the alienated plants have not yet evolved a vision system, the special soft branches will only attack in the direction of the wound.
If an alienated plant has a lot of such soft branches, the direction of the wound will be occupied by the shadows of the trees. Although these soft branches are very tough, they are also very strong, like a leather whip.
Ordinary iron instruments are drawn by it, and in addition to being whipped and marked, the steel the thickness of the thumb will even be deformed by it! If an unawakened human is standing within its attack range, it will be directly killed within a minute.
If the severed branches are forcibly severed, if they are the species that secrete defensive chemicals, the severed soft branches will shoot a high-pressure mist of toxic substances in the direction of the other soft whips after a period of accumulation.
Under this double blow of physics and chemistry, it would be quite dangerous to casually invade this alien plant!
Whether it is the alienation direction of special soft branches, or the alienation direction of the alienated fruit gradually enriching super mitochondria, it is actually conducive to the survival and reproduction of plants.
It's just that the former is to prevent the alienated creatures from overfeeding them, and the latter is to let the alienated animals help them spread more seeds.
While the super-mitochondria produced by the alienated plants are changing the entire biological world, they are not sacrificed themselves, but co-evolve with the entire biological world to gradually adapt to the new future that is slowly coming.
For those ordinary plants, after the alienation, they have all evolved strong defensive and counterattack capabilities, not to mention some plants that have certain offensive capabilities themselves!
For carnivorous plants such as Cordyceps, the enormity of the plant and the movement of part of the plant tissue, such an alienation trend is fulfilled in their body, although the huge plant size is not enough to devour humans, or ordinary large cats, dogs, domestic animals or something, but the average kitten and puppy, once the fist-sized low-level alienated insect is caught, it is dead and lifeless!
The two iconic insect-catching leaves of Cordyceps are so strong that even an ordinary nine-millimeter pistol can't penetrate them! Even a 7.62-millimeter automatic rifle can barely break the surface tissue of the blades.
If you want to pierce its blades, you must use a large-caliber sniper rifle!
And even if a pair of supplementary leaves of Cordyceps trap are violently damaged in the process of catching alienated insects, as long as this pair of insect trap leaves does not appear large-scale perforation damage, then the digestion capacity of this pair of insect trap leaves is still intact!
Replenish the digestive enzymes secreted in the leaves, and its solubility is also extremely strong! Most of the alienated insects are actually directly killed by this digestive juice.
When the prey in the pair of supplemental leaves is digested, the damaged insect trap leaves will automatically die and fall, and new insect trap leaves will sprout and grow again!
A sturdy Cordyceps plant usually has 7-9 pairs of insect trap leaves, and its gigantic plant, judging by its appearance, really looks like a cluster of man-eating flowers with its open mouths, waiting for their prey to be attracted by the nectar juice it secretes.
With the continuous alienation of Cordyceps traps and the gradual increase in the size of prey objects, the digestive juices they secrete can not only decompose some proteins into nitrogenous organic matter, but their insect trap leaves can even directly absorb the decomposed proteins or amino acids!
However, this decomposed protein or amino acid is not for its own use, but is secreted through the nectar glands on the insect trapping leaves, so that the nectar juice it secretes is more fragrant, and even some carnivorous insects or small animals will be attracted by this nectar juice rich in small molecule proteins and amino acids.
It is precisely because of this that the honey-juice secreted by the nectar glands of today's alienated Cordyceps is simply higher than the nutritional value of ordinary royal jelly.
However, if the bee population has a relatively high level of alienation, the royal jelly produced by it is still better than the honey-juice secreted by Cordyceps.
In addition to being uncommon in human settlements and farming areas, in fact, in the wild, this alienation phenomenon of plants has actually been very common.
In particular, the alienation phenomenon of super mitochondria began to be enriched in this plant fruit, which was a small number of alienated fruits at the beginning, but this trend has expanded so rapidly that it can no longer be explained by alienation or heredity!
Therefore, for the crazy popularization of the phenomenon of super mitochondria enrichment in alienated fruits, Ye Feiqiu's laboratory will guess that this is a "plant experience" transmitted through plant pheromones!
As the content of super mitochondria in the alienated fruit exceeds the content level in the leaves and shoots of the alienated plants, the alienation trend of various alienated organisms in the wild will be improved as a whole!
In other words, with the promotion of plant alienation, the already serious alienation disaster will become more and more intense, and the degree of harm will become greater and greater!
Last year, there were already fourth-level alienated wild boars leading the alienated army to attack human settlements, so this year, when the alienation situation in the wild is becoming more and more serious, what kind of severe winter will the major mountainous areas of the Federation experience?!
It is precisely under the pressure of this sense of crisis that the Federation has become more concerned about the screening and cultivation of "public awakened".
Before the fall came, the whole federation selected a total of 10,000 of the best public awakened people to belong to the Awakening Committee, and became a talent reserve force dedicated to cultivating fourth-level awakened people.
Of course, tens of billions of citizens of the Federation cannot fully awaken in just three quarters. In this period of almost three quarters, in fact, more than 90 million ordinary federal citizens have only been awakened in batches.
Of course, among the more than 90 million ordinary citizens of the Federation, there must be more than 10,000 outstanding geniuses, and the other talents with better talents have been shunted to the major martial arts halls of the Federation.
After this round of recruitment, there were more than 200,000 awakened people in the whole federation in an instant, and more than 90 million junior awakened people.
For these primary awakened people who have been brushed down, there must be some who are not convinced, but in this process, the Federation has also guided such a scope.
"Holy, I've been in bad shape since I was a kid, and since I became an Awakened One, I feel like my body has obviously gotten better. But there are only three months of exercise time before the test, which is not enough at all!"
"Yes, I usually have to work, how can I have time to go to the gym! This kind of screening is completely unfair!"
"That's it! Rich people have money and leisure, they will definitely have a better chance than us!"
"I heard that a standard equivalent of the Awakening Essence costs 1 million! Become a public Awakener, you can make a fortune just by reselling this!"
"That's it! Who have money, I don't know if they cheated halfway, and injected some additional awakening essence! This is really a drought and a waterlogging, and the rich are really doing whatever they want!"
"Brother, you can't say that. The purpose of the Federation's development of this activity is to screen out the most suitable Awakened Ones for cultivation. ”
This is obviously the person who guides public opinion online.
"That's right. Now the stock of the Federation's awakening stock solution is extremely tight, and just the awakening of the whole people in batches is determined by making a big determination. ”
"Brothers, you also know, now that alien beasts have come to attack our city, it can be said that it is time for the dead race to be wiped out.
In the case that the overall equivalent of the awakening potion is insufficient, select the best seeds from all human beings and cultivate them intensively, so that we human beings can continue to survive the external threat!"
"yes. It is said that good steel should be used on the blade, and this measure of the state is also reasonable. ”
"In fact, everyone also has misunderstandings about the federal screening process, according to the information provided by my civil servant relatives, the review and screening process is quite strict, and those who have been injected with the awakening potion again in the middle have all been ruthlessly brushed down.
Such a very obvious loophole, the federal side has also made a corresponding plan for a long time. ”
"Yes. Although the Awakened is a fairly new profession, our job is not bad. They are all fighting for the Federation and the continuation of all mankind, so what is the difference between high and low?"
"Hey, I'm quite an awakened person, but I'm too busy with work. Otherwise, with my physique, I would definitely be able to choose. ”
"Hey! Indeed, the soul of the worker is 996, how can there be time for fitness and exercise. ”
"This brother, in fact, can't think like this, in fact, when screening, the screening of physical fitness is one thing, and the needs of each person are another screening process.
It is said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and if you really want to be an awakened person, it's a big deal to quit and quit.
Many of the selected public awakened people are actually desperate workers who quit their jobs. ”
"Well, at the end of the day, it's a matter of choice. ”
"Yes. Since you have chosen to continue to be a worker, you have missed out on the Awakened. ”
"Yes. The conditions for screening are fixed, and there are no coercive measures in the Federation, everything is mainly voluntary. ”
Countless forums, post bars, chat groups, and game union chat interfaces are all guided by such public opinion trends.
