3 months have passed in a hurry......

This can be said to be Wu Peng and Sun Yuting, the busiest and most fulfilling 3 months, the pleasure of solving the mystery bit by bit, makes the two of them completely forget to sleep and eat, and they can't extricate themselves. Wu Peng's girlfriend and colleagues also gave a great degree of support, because the cultural atmosphere in Kunlun Mountain is like this, and exploring the mystery is more important than anything else.

A big secret!

With the deepening of the investigation, 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 and genetic level, the geographical level, and the religious record level.

“…… That is, 150,000 years ago, the so-called 'World Tree' was born from this world! ”

“…… The reason why we believe that there is a certain probability that it was modified by aliens through genetic modification technology is based on the following reasons. Sun Yuting put on a formal dress and delivered her thesis speech on stage.

Upon hearing this conclusion, there was a small commotion among the people sitting below.

Zhang Yuan also showed an interested look, what did these young people find.

"First, we have found the predecessor of the 'World Tree' from the fossils of geography, a tall tree named HW88987, and you see, this is the fossil of this tree......

The screen shows a fossilized tree, which has been buried underground for too long, and has become black and shiny, a bit like the direction of coal.

But it's not really coal yet, and it's something like sunken wood anyway.

It was the first time for Sun Yuting to speak in front of so many scholars, and she was a little nervous at first, but when it came to her professional field, she quickly became confident.

“…… This plant, at the level of genetic material, has a high degree of similarity to the World Tree. There are still a small number of primeval forests on this planet, and after field investigations, we found that it can grow up to 40 meters and has a diameter of about 10 meters, although it can be regarded as a towering tree, but it is far from the size of the World Tree. ”

Comparing the photos, it looks like an eagle and a chick.

"Moreover, there is no unique biological material in the heart of the HW88987 tree, and there is no corresponding evolutionary trend...... So, there is a big fault line between the two species. ”

Zhang Yuan touched his chin, there is still a little truth in this statement. However, there are more creatures with evolutionary faults in the middle, for example, one step in the evolutionary step from apes to humans is too large, and it is a bit incredible.

In fact, only a very small number of species, because of good luck, are likely to leave a relatively complete fossil record of evolutionary processes. Most organisms will never find a fossil record.

Therefore, there is an evolutionary fault, most likely because of the lack of fossils, which is directly attributed to extraterrestrial modification, which is insufficient.

I saw Sun Yuting continue to explain: "This HW88987 plant, compared with the World Tree, the disadvantages are still too big and too big. The World Tree, which can be said to be an all-round optimization, can grow taller, occupy a higher level of sunlight, is drought resistant, has a very strong vitality, and can also resist more viruses...... There are just too many genetic changes happening. ”

"And 150,000 to 200,000 years ago, the environment was very stable, and the whole planet didn't change much. Why does a species suddenly evolve when the environment is stable? This is not in line with the laws of the evolution of species. ”

Evolution tends to follow the principle of "enough is enough" rather than the perfectionist principle of artists in general. HW88987 is already a pretty good plant, it is impossible to go extinct at all, why did it suddenly evolve to a level that is difficult for other species to surpass?

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

"From a genetic point of view, we didn't find any overly obvious traces of genetic modification. Could it be that the biotechnology of this alien civilization is so advanced that we can't even see it? Or, over the past 100,000 years, through generations of natural reproduction, this genetic modification has gradually been erased......"

"By the way, have you found the original fossil specimen of the World Tree and genetically sequenced it? Or in religious texts, there are records of indigenous peoples coming into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations? If there is evidence of this......"

"Unfortunately, there is no direct evidence. The most primitive fossil specimen of the World Tree did not find any suspicious traces at the genetic level. Sun Yuting shook her head, "The historical records in this area are also completely broken, and the religious records of the Riley civilization do not have direct contact with aliens...... At least none of the documents we consulted, or rather, only some inexplicable and indecipherable information. ”

She blushed slightly, although she had already spent a lot of effort on consulting information, it was impossible for a few people in the working group to consult all the historical documents of the Riley civilization.

So, maybe some information was left out......

However, the older the information, the less it can be handed down, and they have already gone through the same information.

"In the religious records of the Riley civilization, the information about the appearance of the World Tree probably appeared 150,000 years ago......"

This religious account reads:

It was a time of famine, the gods had not favored them for a long, long time, the sky had stopped raining, and a great drought had dried up and killed a large number of plants.

The Riley people had already given birth to writing, animal husbandry, agriculture and gathering in that era, but a large number of tribes were still in the midst of famine due to the great natural disaster.

In order to escape the predicament of survival and find more food and water, the tribe sent a group of its bravest warriors to leave their territory and enter the unknown nature......

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

In a word, in the end, the warriors of the Riley civilization finally found a large forest composed of the World Tree with great difficulty!

At this point, the "World Tree" became a part of the religion and was called ...... "Gift of the Gods"!

"We investigated the area of the religious story, and it was in this area that a large number of fossil specimens were found. Because the fallen trees could not rot for a long time, they had evolved into a large organic mine, but the Riley people had no way to use it. The oxygen content of the atmosphere is low, and these organic minerals cannot be burned. ”

Another picture appeared on the big screen of a human geographer investigating this organic mineral mine. More than 100,000 years is not enough time for organic matter to be completely converted into coal, but these veins are still very high-quality organic matter.

Its main element is carbon, from which a large number of industrial chemical products can be extracted. Human workers are even planning to build some small refining plants nearby, refine some chemical products, and then do some chemical experiments.
