After a short rest, Yun Ze took Wang Liangyi to the room that served as a temporary research room.

The door uses a simple isolation curtain, a special plastic curtain with its own disinfection effect, which can automatically disinfect people when they enter and exit.

It is a temporary disinfection tool used in the fort for field research, and is widely used in the study of adversity.

Yun Ze and the two walked through the disinfection curtain and came indoors.

In the room, Kong Zhang's three students are pre-processing some microflora specimens, all in an isolation tank.

Students only need to operate the robotic arm to complete these processes.

Yun Ze walked to the side and watched as a student expertly washed the sample and cut it into tissue chunks as thin as a cicada's wings. It is fixed with a tool and then rinsed with a special agent.

After further dehydration, a portion of the fungus tablets are sent to the viewer on the side of Kong Zhang. Some of them are put into special agents for transparent treatment, and then the tissue is preserved by wax infiltration and embedding to be brought back to the fortress for follow-up research.

Kong Zhang's observer has a variety of functions, and the tissue samples sent from the students are placed in several separate observation boxes.

These observation chambers can simulate the natural environment in order to analyze the behavior of plants in different environments.

When Yun Ze walked over, the old man was operating one of the observation boxes. The observation box simulated normal sunlight, with tissue samples being exposed to light without change.

"Teacher, what did you find?" Yun Ze lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the old man.

Kong Zhang rubbed his glasses, took out a data board, and handed it to Yun Ze.

"My previous guess was correct, this thing is in the light, and the cells completely stop moving."

Kong Zhang patted another observation box, which simulated the environment of the night: "But in the dim environment, its cell activity is quite large. You see, it's already processed into sliced tissue. But now, hyphae have begun to grow. ”

Yun Ze looked at the box, and sure enough, the fungus tablets in the box had fluffy mycelium emerging from the edges.

"It's strange, these things weren't that active before."

In the Yun Xiang base, the Yun family has at least one-third of the management rights, and the Yun family has been stationed in this base for many years.

Yun Ze is no stranger to Gem Town, and he also knows about these glowing flora in the town. Moreover, it is not the first time that Kong Zhang has come to Gem Town, this old man has come once eight years ago.

Samples of the microflora were also collected at that time, and no anomalies were found other than the presence of luminescent bacteria on the surface of these objects.

Yun Ze had read that report, so it was clear that the vitality of the microflora was too vigorous now.

Compared to eight years ago, there are almost two species.

"Look at this."

Kong Zhang's expression was solemn and he pointed to another observation box. The observation chamber simulated the extreme cold, in which the slabs were gray in color. In fact, most of the tissue has been turned into powder.

"What is this?"

Yun Ze looked at the old man.

Kong Zhang put his hands behind him: "This thing is about minus 60 degrees, and the tissue will die and shatter." However, that doesn't mean it's really dead. ”

Kong Zhang knocked a few times on the data board in Yun Ze's hand, and a line of information appeared on the data board.

Yun Ze's pupils dilated slightly: "In a cold environment, their tissues will die. But they leave spores, and these spores remain active in this environment? ”

Kong Zhang nodded: "That's right, this may be a self-protection mechanism for them." I'm going to do a few more tests to see how the spores behave in other environments. ”

"If they can still keep their cells alive in other environments, such as light. Then it is certain that these things are very communicative in nature. Possibly, this is a biological weapon that has evolved against us in the Reverse Realm! ”

Yun Ze gasped.

Even the unfathomable Wang Liangyi's face was not very good-looking at this time.

Although the microflora stops cells in the presence of light, their spores can remain active in a variety of environments. Then once the flow is out of adversity, it reaches the other side of Kraft Gate.

These things, sooner or later, will cover the world. After all, the adversity can be dark for a long time, and there is no way that the sun will hang high forever on the other side of the door.

Kong Zhang sighed: "In fact, I have the same opinion as some scholars in the Firmament Castle. We shouldn't go too deep into adversity, and we shouldn't ask too much. The adversity is always changing, and perhaps one day, the two worlds will overlap because of Kraft. ”

"At that time, it may be the end of the world..."

Yun Ze smiled reluctantly: "No, there are teachers, other scholars, and there are fortress cities here." Such a thing will never happen. ”

Kong Zhang smiled: "I hope so." ”

......

The sky was awakened by some light, and when I woke up, the room was full of faint blue light.

The boy got up in surprise and ran to the window to take a look, only to find that the bacteria in the town were emitting a hazy, faint blue light.

It looks like a piece of blue gem, no wonder this town is named after gems.

It's a pity that these things look beautiful, but they are extremely aggressive. It is a threat to both the environment and living beings.

Thinking about it this way, Tianyang doesn't think they look good.

At that moment, he noticed that he was stepping on a large blue spot of light.

That's because there happened to be a strange tree outside the building, and it was full of bacteria. At this time, the flora glowed, and the whole tree resembled a giant blue torch.

The light poured in from the window, creating a blue patch of light.

Tianyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly remembered that outside that strange building, there was also a row of strange trees occupied by the fungus.

Moreover, on the door of that building, there is a strange window in the shape of a cross.

If the light of the flora shines through that window, maybe ......

Thinking of this, Tianyang didn't want to pack up his equipment, and he didn't care about saying hello to Adam, who was sleeping soundly next to him. He pushed open the window and leaped lightly into the blue world outside.

Falling to the ground, Tianyang felt a slight feeling in his heart, and turned his head to look back.

The building cast a large shadow in the faint blue light of the fungus, and Tianyang could not see anything abnormal, so he left with confidence.

However, behind the small building, in the shadows in the corners.

Someone walked out, holding a food stick and biting hard.

When I came to the strange building again, sure enough, the row of strange trees on the other side of the street was all glowing. A bright but not dazzling blue light that illuminates the entire street.

Tianyang entered the door of the building and saw a crosslight spot appear on the ground.

"Under the cross..."Tianyang walked towards the spot of light, "Could this be the true meaning of that phrase, Su Lie's secret, just under this spot of light?" ”
