Dinner was the same as always, canned beef with compressed biscuits, and vegetables were a little muddy tomatoes in the can. No one can stand eating these things every day, and we have no other way but to sort all kinds of canned food and change the pattern every day. But this is just self-deception, I now want to vomit when I see the tinplate cans that Wang Shanqi used for arbitration, and I just complain that I didn't even see a rabbit on the way to fetch water.

In the middle of the table were the archival materials, and we sat around, clearing out a small piece in front of us to eat, and Gege sat with Wang Shanqi and the others, discussing some things. Of course they didn't avoid me, but I had no idea what was going on in my head, and I was completely deaf to the words that came from across the table.

"Si'an! Si'an! Gege called out to me across the table.

"Huh? What's up? I looked up from the canning box.

"Where's your sword? Show me! ”

"Under my bed, you can take it yourself!" I said lazily and went on to eat.

Xiao Kan stabbed me on the side, "What's the matter with you, you are so unenergetic?" ”

"I didn't, did I?"

Xiao Kan glared at me with a look that was clear to you and turned his head away.

She feels good, I seem to have been like this lately, as long as someone discusses the past, I will enter this state, like a subconscious escape, when I encounter a stressful event, I immediately close myself.

After a while, Gege dragged over from the bedroom, holding the Dingguang Sword in his hand, and said before he sat down: "Si'an, you are really enough, throw such a good thing under the bed?" ”

I ignored her, but Gege didn't intend to let me go, and asked, "What is the origin of this sword?" ”

"How do I know? I just picked it up by accident! ”

Wang Shanqi interjected: "I heard them say that the target of those monsters was this sword before, is it really fake?" ”

"I don't know."

"Have you ever wondered why?"

"What, why?" I asked rhetorically.

Wang Shanqi didn't answer my question, but put down the fork in his hand and made a university professor, "We all know that behavior needs to be driven by demand, just like animals foraging for food because of hunger, and mating because of estrus......"

I thought it was a little indecent for this guy to speak in front of the lesbians, so I hurriedly interrupted: "Yes, you don't have to lecture, everyone understands, you have something to say!" ”

"Well, yes, I thought for a long time why these monsters were attracted to this sword and that orb. Because these monsters are completely synthesized genetic duplication products from the archives, not to mention whether they are intelligent or not, even if they have an IQ of 18, they should be like babies, a blank slate. Wang Shanqi said this, looking at me as if he was looking for my support.

I had no choice but to nod, watch him make a satisfied expression, and continued, "The needs of babies are nothing more than the needs of eating and drinking, intelligence and many functions have not yet been established, and there are no higher-level needs. But their behavior is very strange, and they are interested in this sword and those fusion spheres, which only shows that the need for these two things is in their genes, and it is as important as eating, drinking, and sleeping! ”

"What does that mean?" I'm kind of intrigued.

"I don't know yet, I'm going to do some simple experiments to see if there is anything in common between this sword and those fusion spheres in terms of raw materials, maybe this raw material is their food!" Wang Shanqi said.

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but glance at Lu Yan, although this lightsaber is mine, I always feel that only Lu Yan has the power to dispose of it.

"No way!" Sure enough, as I expected, Lu Yan lowered his head and popped out two words.

Wang Shanqi was furious, slapped the table and was about to say something, but I stopped him, "Don't worry, Lao Wang, listen to me!" ”

"You say!"

"Well, can you tell me what it has to do with us if these monsters are using them for food?"

"Nature is related!" Wang Shanqi said a little weakly.

I saw it at a glance, and decided to support Lu Yan unconditionally, and just about to speak, Gege said: "Si'an, we suspect that this creature is not a creature on earth!" ”

"Oh?" I was intrigued again, and didn't seem to notice that whether or not this thing was something on Earth had nothing to do with us.

"So we want to prove their demands!" Gege Dao.

I didn't understand it at all, and it didn't seem like Gege knew very well.

"That's right!" Wang Shanqi relieved himself again, "You know that we are all carbon-based organisms, and the food of carbon-based organisms must also be carbon-based organisms. But these monsters seem to be a little different, and there are descriptions of the samples they found, which have no digestive organs at all, which is definitely not a characteristic of large carbon-based creatures. ”

"But you see, these things are also flesh, blood is also red, and the information also says that they have rebuilt their genes with our amino acids, how can these things not be carbon-based creatures?" I retorted.

"I'm not done yet, I didn't say they're not carbon-based, I'm just suspicious, they're not carbon-based creatures from our ecosystem!"

"This ...... Is there a basis? ”

"It's just a suspicion, but I'm not unfounded!" Wang Shanqi is here again, "Our ecological characteristics have long been determined by the tone, that is, a homogeneous supplement metabolism mode, all the sugars and amino acids that constitute our body's needs come from direct intake, have you ever wondered why this is so?" ”

Naturally, I couldn't answer, Wang Shanqi snorted, "Because we are animals!" ”

I'll go, can this also be called the answer? "You mean those monsters are plants?"

"You think of plants," Wang Shanqi pointed to his vegetables, "why can't we grow like plants, don't need to take huge risks to forage, and survive on only the sun and soil?" ”

Without waiting for us to answer, Wang Shanqi continued: "Because we are animals! The inefficient synthesis and transformation of plants cannot meet our needs, and the evolution of organisms is a path of survival of the fittest, which is completely determined by our natural environment. You can imagine that if our environment is more suitable for the growth mode of plants, then we will also adopt that way, after all, this kind of utilization is the highest, and it also saves the trouble of eating, drinking, and Lazar! ”

Wang Shanqi's words were a bit incoherent, and some of the truths were not necessarily true, but he quickly understood and thought so.

"They don't have a digestive system, they're like moving plants! I have no way to believe that the environment on Earth could have evolved such a creature! ”

"Lao Wang, after all, it was tens of millions of years ago, who knows what kind of environment was raised at that time." I say it sincerely.

"It's all about the same, the Earth's orbit has not changed, and the environment won't be so bad!" Wang Shanqi waved his hand.

"Wang, what if we prove where they came from? It's just a little curiosity, this sword Lu Yan is still very useful, I can't let you use it for experiments! "I buckled the table.

Wang Shanqi didn't speak, just looked at Lu Yan.

Just when I was worried that Lu Yan would beat him, Lu Yan suddenly raised his head, "Don't try, what you said is good!" ”
