If human beings were in this situation, there would undoubtedly be only a few things that could be done.

The first is to eliminate all the culprits – the World Tree.

A planet is indeed huge, but for the level of human technology, it is just a little more effort, and it is not particularly difficult to completely exterminate a living thing.

But this giant plant, as an important link in the ecological chain, can even be said to be a pillar-like existence. If it is completely wiped out, there is no doubt that it will directly lead to a mass extinction, and countless animals and insects will starve to death.

In this way, the end result seems to be the same. Even because of human intervention, mass extinctions occurred in advance.

Ichiro Yamamoto explains, "If this happens on Earth, even if there is a mass extinction, as long as humans can survive, this plan can be implemented." But Riley, Rileys are equal to other lives, and we don't need to destroy most lives to save Riley. ”

Many of the audience below nodded their heads, and that made sense.

"Unless humans can create a plant that can replace the 'World Tree', destroy a World Tree and plant a replacement at the same time, so as to ensure ecological balance. However, the amount of work in this project is undoubtedly much larger. ”

"Besides, the content involved in creating a new plant is quite complex, and it is not possible to create it. This plant has to replace the World Tree in all its functions, including providing a large amount of food, including habitat for the species, and so on. ”

The second method is to cultivate microorganisms that can decompose the "heart of the tree" and solve the problem fundamentally.

The molecular formula of this "tree heart" is a bit like human plastic, and it is not impossible to use genetic engineering to cultivate corresponding decomposers.

But another problem, the large-scale introduction of a modified microorganism will undoubtedly have a significant impact on native organisms.

Let's not talk about whether these microorganisms will mutate and whether they will lead to the disease and extinction of native organisms......

"If these artificially modified lives multiply in large numbers in the new environment and decompose the "tree heart" that has been accumulated before, then the oxygen in the atmosphere will be consumed in large quantities, the concentration of carbon dioxide will increase significantly, and the entire ecological environment will be destroyed. ”

"For such a long time, there is a lot of carbon buried in the ground...... It is also a troublesome thing if it is consumed in large quantities. ”

"That's what we're facing. Although the lives and deaths of the Rileys, and the mass extinction of species on this planet, have little to do with us, it is indeed quite ...... Well, an interesting subject. It is likely that there are many more civilizations in the universe that are in the midst of such a slow death. ”

"So, we plan to go to Riley in person for a more detailed scientific expedition."

Yamamoto looked at Zhang Yuan expectantly.

To put it bluntly, this group of them just wants to go to that planet for field research.

Anyway, humans will stay here for several years, and it is a bit ...... not to go down in person It's tickling.

"Well, you guys write a formal report first, it's a big subject...... Mass extinction? Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and quickly agreed.

These guys are always able to find this kind of very strange and convincing reason.

After discussing these issues, everyone left the room with a hint of dreary and excitement.

Since there is no good way for a while, no one will come to worry about the fate of the Riley people thousands of years later.

After all, the entire extinction time is still tens of millions of years, which is too long, so long that human beings themselves may not continue to exist in this world.

So in principle, human beings will not stay here for dozens or hundreds of years, nor will they stop their steps specifically to observe mass extinctions.

However, this mass extinction still made Zhang Yuan a little uncomfortable.

Technology is not omnipotent, and no technology is impossible.

The universe itself is not a place of truth, goodness and beauty, supernova eruptions, meteorite disasters, supervolcanic eruptions, and all kinds of similar disasters do not know how many civilizations that have not yet had time to develop have been killed. Even, as long as the stars shake so much, the ice age can take a civilization away.

If the Riley people were not so backward, they would not have developed for tens or millions of years, and such a slow death would not have occurred.

"Even if a mass extinction occurs, as long as there is enough scientific and technological strength, self-protection is still more than enough."

"They don't even know it, that's the saddest thing."

Zhang Yuan shook his head, quickly put this matter behind him, and focused on the upgrading and construction of Kunlun Mountain itself......

A year passed in a hurry, and all geographical, biological, and trading activities came to an end for the time being.

One of the most widely talked about is the religious culture of the Riley civilization and the mass extinction of species that is about to last 10 million years. The latter, in particular, has sparked a public debate!

There are some people who are trying to save such a mass extinction.

There are a lot of posts like this on the post bar: "The various species of Riley need to be saved, and the Riley people need to be saved." Although we can't help them here for long, at least let them know the fact that they are slowly going extinction......"

But it's useless to say this kind of thing, for the Riley civilization, which has not yet possessed technology, even if it is told what is about to happen in the future, it cannot understand what oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon cycle, what are these things? It's impossible for them to understand!

In the end, these well-wishers could only tell them this: "The gods will be destroyed in 10 million years." ”

It's easy to understand!

But the Riley people don't care, 10 million years is too long, far beyond the life cycle, and the ashes are long gone. Who would worry about catastrophe in 10 million years, and even humanity itself would not worry about 10 million years from now......

Therefore, after some useless work, there are still some people who think that this is a kind of natural elimination in itself, so why should human beings be full of food and support it, and meddle in their affairs?

Life on a planet cannot be completely extinct in a catastrophe, in the future, it will eventually evolve a species that can decompose the "heart of the world tree", and with a higher concentration of oxygen and a large number of fossil resources, a new explosion of life will be generated after the mass extinction!

Maybe a new intelligent race will be born on this planet to replace these Rileys who will never progress?

Such a debate has made Kunlun Mountain full of vitality. Man himself is a creature that is willing to judge the fate of other species. In contrast, the sense of moral and technological superiority makes people full of motivation.

At the same time, with the information at hand, cultural workers are trying to restore the life of this indigenous people in the virtual world and promote tourism in the virtual space.

Well, there is no need to worry too much about anti-addiction in this regard, even Zhang Yuan himself does not believe that some human beings will be brainwashed by the religion of the Riley civilization. If this kind of person really appears, it can only be said that he is mentally retarded.

……

On this day, a big project in the virtual world of 12 was completed, and everyone in the office was cheering and celebrating loudly.

"Hahaha, look at this world tree village, it's completely an elf living in the forest!" The programmer slammed the table, pleased with his work.

"How's that, about the way of life of the Riley civilization...... The main god Epekania created the whole world through the raging flames...... The god of water fed the people of Riley, the god of fire...... Burn, flames! It's like an online game. I think it's better to stop making monsters and really make it a game mode. Although we can only enter the virtual space for 15 days every six months, we can play games on our computers or mobile phones and interact with the world! ”

“…… In your spare time, you can enter the game and experience it in real life, and this sense of accomplishment is not covered! ”

The ape was spitting like a spittle, and his face was as excited as a red balloon.

Not to mention, this kind of virtual world-related online games are being discussed in meetings, as long as the anti-addiction is done well, there is actually no problem.

One of the young men shouted: "Ah, I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later, I have a headache and I need to rest." ”

"Holiday! Holiday! Holiday! ”

"Let's fall in love, Wu Peng, look at your anxious look!"

The young man said goodbye to his colleague and secretly ran to the couple's restaurant, where he kissed the girl he loved passionately.

"Job done?" The girl asked.

"yes, it's just the first job. There are three days off, but I'm going to put two days in the back and rest together! Wu Peng was very happy to order a blue melon, this fruit tastes like a watermelon and a comprehensive grape, but the yield is not high, and the price is a little expensive.

"I've heard that this latest indigo melon is quite delicious, a newly cultivated plant. What do you want to eat? ”

"It's so expensive, don't order it! You can save a little money and buy a virtual world tour......"

"This project is complete, and there is a big bonus!" Wu Peng laughed hesitantly. Virtual world tourism can be said to be quite a hot thing, although he is a cultural worker in the virtual world, working in front of the computer, and actually entering is not the same thing.

"There is a mass extinction going on this planet, and biologists are not trying to figure out what to do...... The creatures of this planet are so pitiful. ”

Wu Peng licked his dry lips, "I heard from my colleague that the Institute of Biology over there, in the name of studying the atmosphere, has set up two working groups, and there are about two hundred people participating in this project. The Government has also allocated some of the funds. ”

"However, everyone is not too optimistic."
