Chapter 237: A Strong Enemy (Part II)

After leaving Zolo and the entire Seraph' and Iron Triangle formations on Planet Ive, Robin and the others immediately returned to the "Assembly" and began to set off for the core of the rebellion, the planet Manda. {Fastest text.}

As for Lord Eden Thomasto's planet Amorphus, Robin felt the need to investigate it again.

Although Baron Thomas's planet Aestrogen is also an important industrial planet, with the strength of the rebels' air force, it is obviously impossible to break the huge fleet currently entrenched on the planet's periphery, so the rebellion on Aeteran is limited to the destruction of industrial parks and the theft of some warships. In Robin's opinion, as long as the rebellion on the planet Manda is eliminated, the remaining rebels on the planets of Aheng and Eveh are not to be feared.

At 6 p.m. on November 22, nine hours after Robin arrived in the Atwood system with his troops, Robin personally flew aboard the Valian. The landing ship landing is now almost under the de facto control of the rebels.

The planet Manda is about 2.3 times the size of the Earth in terms of volume, and as the fourth star of the entire planetary group, it orbits the star Atwood in an elliptical orbit, and due to its long orbit, a year on the planet Manda is about 8.89 years on Earth. Like the earth, the planet Mangda also has four seasons in a year, although it varies from region to region due to different sunshine intensity, but it is still basically based on the equator line, but the time between the four seasons is longer than that of the earth, except for the shorter time in spring and autumn, summer and winter are basically equal to about ten times the time of the previous season on the earth.

"The summer and winter here are close to a year, and such a long season evolution has created a unique species of stone trees, but it is precisely because of the appearance of stone trees that the climate and environment on the planet Manda have changed greatly." On the "Brave", the landing ship was in the sky with the strange landform and scenery of the planet Manda, and Lì Ona, who participated in the operation with Robin this time, began to introduce Robin to the formation of the landform and ecological environment of the planet Manda as usual.

After a conversation with Cecia on Brady not long ago, Lì Ona began to keep a very low profile. However, he no longer avoided Ceci Lìya, but began to be more purely obsessed with his own research. During Robin's expedition to the planet Gotha , she also participated in the annihilation of the Viper Rift Valley with Zolo, collected a large number of genetic samples of mutants, and through the study of these gene fragments, listed various strange special abilities of mutants.

"These stone trees look a bit like bread trees on Earth, but it seems like there's only one stone tree in every area." Robin looked curiously at the panorama scanned from the screen in the cabin, and in his opinion, the planet Manda seemed to be too desolate, except for the vast ocean, the land was basically composed of plains, and it was difficult to see mountains and other landforms, and only at a distance could you see a large, bloated stone tree standing alone.

"Stone trees reproduce very quickly, and in order to maintain a large population, a 100-foot-tall stone tree can devour tons of minerals every day. So, even the highest Himalayas on Earth can be swallowed up by stone trees in just a few hundred years. In addition, the trunk of the stone tree, which resembles a bread tree, also has an amazing ability to store water. According to calculations, there are about tons of ecological water stored in the oldest and largest Pulì Mamu tree on the planet Manda. ”

Ton? Robin looked back at Lì Ona in shock: "This is almost the amount of water stored in a lake." ”

"Yes, the stone trees rely on absorbing the vast amount of minerals from the stratum to build their castles, and through this castle they store water. This prevents this part of the water from being evaporated by the sunlight of Atwood, and thus does not allow the formation of rainfall in the area where water vapor is composed. In addition, due to the large number of stone trees swallowing up the mountains, the air currents in the atmosphere of the planet Manda are very strong. The thick clouds formed over the ocean will penetrate inland, driven by the monsoon, and the rainfall will be absorbed by the stone trees, and the soil erosion will be very serious due to the lack of vegetation on the surface of the planet Manda, but the larvae used by the stone trees to reproduce will follow the muddy water deep into the ground and find a suitable habitat along the underground water veins, and begin to breed new stone trees. ”

"It's devouring the ocean?" Robin muttered to himself.

"Yes, it is constantly devouring the oceans, and it is precisely because of its act of taking and not giving in the ecosystem that the oceans on the planet Manda are shrinking at such an alarming rate. At the same time, it is constantly devouring the mountains formed by volcanic hot spots, and it is stabilizing the crustal movements of the planet Manda while using the vast amount of minerals that follow the magma gushing out of the ground. So, in a sense, the crustal movement of the planet Manda is quite stable, but the disappearance of the ocean will cause great damage to the climate on the planet Manda in the future. ”

"So...... One day it will destroy the planet, and it itself is on a doomed path? After listening to Lì Ona's explanation, Robin was very puzzled by why the stone trees had evolved in their own forms.

"Yes, but that's the norm in the biological world." Lì Ona shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

"The norm in the biological world?" Robin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, every living thing has been born for the sole purpose of borrowing the resources of this planet to grow itself. Just like human beings on the earth, if human beings cannot go out of space, then with the ability of human beings to destroy the ecological environment, the ecological environment of the earth will be completely destroyed before the end of the old era. From this point of view alone, humans and stone trees are actually no different. ”

"You've always had a different style." The truth is always in the hands of a few. Lì Ona glanced at Robin and continued: "Plants, animals, insects, and microorganisms all have the same goal. Expansion, continuous expansion, from the ocean to the wetlands, and from the wetlands to the interior, to the mountains. This kind of expansion will inevitably cause great damage to the planet's ecology, and the extreme expansion of any species will cause a devastating blow to the entire planet. But the planet itself exists to give birth to life, so the success of a species is judged not by the destructive power it causes to the planet itself, but by whether it has the ability to jump out of the home planet and expand towards the entire universe after claiming all the resources on the planet. ”

"So humans are evolutionarily successful, aren't they?" Robin looked at Clyde, Don and Eden, Thomas and the others, who were also amazed, and continued to ask, "What if this planet can't evolve successfully?" ”

"Reincarnation. Just like the history of the Earth's biological evolution, the Earth has experienced a total of five mass extinctions before the birth of the evolutionary species of humans.

Of course, if human beings can no longer break through the shackles of the earth and step into the universe, then the earth may not have a chance to come again, and it is very possible to become a death star like Mars. And Planet Manda has not yet come to this point, it still has a chance to start over, and maybe it won't have to wait that long, and the stone tree will give birth to a more successful species, a species that can step into the universe! ”

Through the study of the stone trees, she was surprised to find that the xìng nature of the stone tree, a half-plant and half-animal, was very superior, and in essence it was even much superior to that of humans, who had undergone countless evolutions.

"Alright, now let's get down to business." Seeing that Lì Ona didn't mean to say any more, Robin used his fingers to forcefully ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
