Chapter 136: The Leopard Recovers
After Dagen explained the matter, everyone was able to confirm that this consciousness that communicated with Dagen was the Yuan Qi Mother Tree in the valley.
"World Tree ?!!" The crowd was very sensitive to the name.
The name is neither the mother goddess as the animals call it, nor the forest god as the village calls it, but the World Tree. The name is its own name, then the name is the real name, and it must have a special meaning.
In less than half an hour, Director Zhao and several experts came to this courtyard and began to discuss how to deal with this situation. In the end, they made a variety of plans for Dagen and repeated them several times.
Dagen felt that he was under heavy pressure, so he could only memorize those plans by rote and catch the ducks on the shelves.
After returning home, after relieving his mood, he began to enter the meditation retreat. Called: "World Tree...... Are you not? ”
"Well, you...... Who is ......" Aoki is talking to a human for the first time, so he has to pretend that he is not fluent in communication.
Hearing the voice of the World Tree, Root seemed to be a little immature as those experts said, and the communication was not smooth, so Root also breathed a sigh of relief. Communicating with a mature unknown species can be a bit stressful, but if you're talking to a kid, it's not easy.
Thinking that it was a little kid who was communicating with him, Dagen's heart relaxed a lot, and then said to Aoki according to the advice given by those experts: "I am a human being, the kind that walks upright, with two legs and two hands. ”
"Oh, then why are you in my heart? Did I know you before? "Aoki is now acting as a cognitively immature creature, so it's a little awkward to speak.
"Because I want to be friends with you?" Big Root flickered.
"Friends? What is a friend? ”
"Friend, it's like the relationship between you and the leopard, you are good to me, I am good to you, you care about me, I care about you." Big root induces.
"Okay, okay, then you and I are friends......" Aoki found that it was actually quite a matter of effort to pretend to be tender, and he wanted to vomit a little.
In the end, Ogen induced Aoki to talk about the specific situation of Aoki, such as what Aoki has now, what he likes, what hobbies he has, whether he has been in contact with other humans, and so on.
Aoki pretended to be in high spirits to communicate with him, and then picked out something to say and tell him.
The next day, Dagen came to Grandpa Niu's yard again and reported to the old man and Director Zhao the information he had obtained yesterday.
"First of all, in terms of communication, it says that it can communicate with some animals, but not all animals can communicate. On the human side, I was the first person to communicate with him, and the main reason was that I was able to successfully transmit my will to him. ”
"In terms of its personality, it still feels very kind, and there are a lot of things that I don't understand, and I was asked a lot of things, such as shoes, clothes, and so on."
"In terms of interest, I like to play with leopards, and recently I like to watch "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
"In terms of ability, it says that it can see things within a certain range, and this range is very large, and you can see the Genki Tree and the surroundings of the Genki Tree in Lakure Town."
“…………”
As Dagen talked more and more, those experts kept taking notes.
After listening to this, Director Zhao sorted it out and said: "The overall situation is still quite optimistic, this World Tree is currently no threat to us at all, as long as Dagen does a good job of communicating with it, being a good friend, and then teaching it some good things, there should be no problem." ”
"By the way, did you ever ask why it's called the World Tree?" An expert next to him asked.
"I asked, and it said it knew it naturally, but I don't know why it was called that."
The next day, a large TV screen was placed next to Aoki's main body, and the 2020 version of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was playing on the screen.
Soon, under Aoki's teaching, Xiao Cang gnawed off the speaker wiring, because the sound was too noisy. And that Yu Wen was tragically 'unemployed'.
……………… Within a few days, Aoki received news from the rubber grove that something strange had grown from its canopy.
Aoki looked over and was amused, only to see that there were many white, foam-like things growing from its canopy, and Aoki poked it a few times and found that the texture was soft and elastic. If you look at the other rubber trees in the vicinity, they all grow the same thing.
"Have you ever bloomed?"
"No ......"
Aoki was wondering if it was because of those rubber lotions stored on the branches, so that this kind of thing grew?
Soon, Jin Man, the owner of the rubber plantation, discovered this strange phenomenon.
"Does it have something to do with the disappearance of the rubber milk?" Thinking of this, Jin Man was so excited. For almost a year, I fell from heaven to hell, the harvest was gone, the stock was lost, and I almost went bankrupt.
Jin Man couldn't wait to climb the tree, picked some white 'fruits', pinched and weighed, and it didn't feel like rubber. In the end, in order to know what it was, and to solve the problem that rubber trees do not produce rubber milk, Jin Man took these 'fruits' to the Institute of Chemistry for testing.
The test results came out quickly: "Most of this is starch, and there are a lot of amino acids that are beneficial to the human body......"
"How so?" Jin Man couldn't believe it, this was simply out of his own life rules, and the rubber emulsion had turned into starch? How can it be so weird?
The researcher who did the laboratory test was also very curious, he saw this starch-filled fruit for the first time, and couldn't help but ask Jin Man: "Mr. Jin, can you tell me where this fruit came from?" ”
Dagen hurriedly replied: "This fruit is plucked from a rubber tree, the kind of rubber tree that does not produce rubber milk. Can you help me analyze what this is all about? ”
The researcher pondered for a moment and replied, "If its predecessor was a rubber tree, there is only one explanation, and that is that it evolved. The rubber tree is a dicot plant in the Euphorbiaceae family, which is known for its abundance of rubber, oilseeds, medicinal herbs, tanning materials, and starch, which can be explained if it evolved from the production of rubber to the production of starch. ”
Jin Man returned to his house with this test report in despair.
"Do you really want to cut down these 400 acres of rubber forest? But now there is no money to buy rubber seedlings, and the rubber seedlings bought may not be able to produce rubber milk smoothly, what should I do? He sat under the tree and muttered to himself.
At this moment a gust of wind blew and blew a book on the table next to him. Jin Man looked at the book unconsciously, and suddenly, he saw a sentence: God will definitely open another window for you while closing one door.
"Window, another window......" At this time, Jin Man thought of what the researcher said.
"yes, why didn't I think of it? It's full of starch, so you can eat it? I could have picked it up and sold it. And it's a good tourism project, as long as it's developed, won't the money roll in? ”
Thinking of this, Jin Man was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
The next day, Jin Man excitedly took some fruits to the fruit wholesale market and bread factory to sell the fruits, and then directly demonstrated the on-site baking with a microwave oven.
Today's operation was undoubtedly a success, and he soon received a large number of orders. Soon, the first breadfruit was launched on the market, and soon after it was well received by customers, and the number of orders increased again.
Within a few days, he was offering tours to the bread groves – picking their own breadfruit – and the tour quickly became a hit.
His success was soon known to the owners of rubber plantations in Lila County, and they came to learn from him. They were all enthusiastic about his bread grove, but they also knew that their rubber groves would soon become bread groves.
As for whether there will be too much bread and fruit production, it will lead to more and more prices? This situation should not be possible, because this thing can be sold all over the country.
The evolution of the rubber tree into the bread tree is an indirect solution to Aoki's problem of environmental damage to rubber forests.
In terms of water storage capacity, the water demand of trees is reduced because they no longer need to be tapped.
In terms of vegetation diversity, those grasses and shrubs have developed immunity to all herbicides on the market after one year of continuous growth. For these crazy grasses, it is hard to mow, and those bosses can be described as having a headache. In the end, they found that the grass and bushes did not affect the normal growth of the bread tree at all, so they left those bushes and grasses alone.
The only pity is that this breadfruit does not bear fruit for a long time, but seasonally.
With the bread groves, the economy of Lipa County can finally recover.
……………… A month later, late autumn came, and the leopard was about to wake up.
The white silk cocoons on the leopard's body gradually faded, revealing its entire fur. The leopard soon woke up and found himself in a closed room when he stood up.
"Brother Shu!!" Instead of panicking or fear, it thought of Aoki first.
"You're awake!!" Aoki heard the leopard's call, and hurriedly probed his mind into the research institute to take a look, and found that the leopard's white calluses had faded all over his body, and he was walking back and forth in the closed secret room at this time, probably because he didn't like this closed and narrow space.
Aoki scanned the leopard's entire body, and there was no problem, not at all the feeling that the six-legged monster gave him was dead.
Aoki kept reassuring the leopard and told it not to be impulsive: "You wait, I let them let you go." ”
Naturally, Aoki wouldn't have asked the humans to release the leopards, and if they did, they would know that Aoki had the ability to peep through the walls.
After tossing for half an hour, the leopard was finally released, and the female leopard was already waiting at the gate of the base early.
"Leopard, have you gained anything?" Aoki thought of the black crystals it devoured, and quickly asked.
"I feel like I can get more strength, I can continue to increase my speed, I can continue to grow in size." The leopard posed a few toned poses and said in a bullish manner.
Aoki saw that its two hind legs were propped up, its body was upright, and its two front legs made a bodybuilder poss, revealing its biceps, and he was immediately happy: "Okay, since this is the case, then the task of maintaining world peace will be entrusted to you in the future!" ”
