Chapter 25: The Classic of Mountains and Seas
There is no other plant in the environment where the giant tree grows.
Xie Ling said the answer with a gloomy expression.
"In the ancient Yizhi "Classic of Mountains and Seas. There is a record in the Overseas East Longitude: There is Fusang on the Tang Valley, and the ten-day bath is in the north of Heiya. ”
Wang Qiang didn't understand, and hurriedly asked what it meant.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a strange document in our ancient culture, and the things and things recorded are so great that we can't find one-ten-thousandth of them." Xie Ling explained slowly.
"What kind of book is this, is it all fake?" Wang Qiang was puzzled.
Xie Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "In fact, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a mythological book, and it is also fake in the final analysis. ”
Lin Er touched the plate on his head and was a little confused: "I also know something about the Classic of Mountains and Seas, in the old days, almost everyone knew the existence of this book, but it was only the name, and I didn't know what was so strange about this book." ”
Xie Ling put away her smile and said with a somewhat serious expression: "As an ancient person, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is nonsense. But for thousands of years, the bizarre story of this book has been deeply influenced by the bones of the Chinese people and has become the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.
With cultural heritage, there is inheritance, with inheritance, there are fetters, and with fetters there is paranoia, and the paranoia of scientists is the key to open the myth.
Human beings are arrogant and ignorant, and some things obviously did not exist, but they were just the whims of ancient philosophers, but today's good scientists will be paranoid to spend their lives realizing the whims of the ancients. ”
Wang Qiang still heard it in the fog and couldn't do what to do.
However, Lin Er somewhat understood Xie Ling's words: "You mean, under the influence of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", you turned things that don't exist into reality? ”
Xie Ling nodded, admitting: "The expectation is so, but the results are often unpredictable. ”
Xie Ling slowly stood up and pointed to his feet: "As you can see, this kind of tree has never existed in history, when we participated in the 002 project, we named this fast-growing giant tree Fusang, but as you know, the Fusang giant tree is just a non-existent mythical ancient tree imagined in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and now we have made it according to our own imagination. ”
Hearing this, Wang Qiang remembered the tree he had climbed before, and there was a lot of surprise in his heart, and there was a faint trace of fear.
Wang Qiang thought, this thing is 100 meters high, and the diameter is more than 50 meters, it is actually a scientist's invention, is this scientist too terrifying.
For the unknown, human beings often succumb to awe, and Wang Qiang's lack of knowledge and limited life experience has been warning him that he needs to maintain enough reverence for nature, and only in this way can he live longer.
Lin Er also stood up, paced outside the house, looked at the starry sky, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Then the research project of your scientific research institute, you have finally successfully completed!" It's a pity that the state no longer exists, human civilization almost doesn't exist, and the results of your scientific research have lost their usefulness. ”
Xie Ling also walked out of the house, came to Lin Er's side, and said: "Indeed, these trees can reach a height of more than 50 meters within five years, a diameter of more than 10 meters, and the material is above the standard of hardwood. ”
Lin Er looked at the special giant tree that was much taller than the other big trees, the big tree with a diameter of more than fifty meters towered dozens of meters above the tree plain, and the crown of the tree extended hundreds of meters, like a dark cloud, covering the starlight and moonlight in the distance.
"That tree seems to be something special." Lin Er pointed to the giant tree.
Wang Qiang muttered in his heart, no matter how you look at it, it's very special.
"Yes, it's one of the special trees in this tree, and we've named it the Emperor. This is also a name derived from a mythical story. ”
Lin Eryi waved his hand and motioned for Xie Ling to stop talking about this.
In fact, Lin Er has always heard myths and stories, one head and two big. Lin Er kept rubbing his head with his rough big hands, this action reminded him of the annoyance of not being able to answer the questions when he took the academic exam more than twenty years ago, so Lin Er didn't want to dwell on these ethereal and dizzy things anymore.
"Let's stop talking about myths and stories, let's talk about this thing about your hunger." Lin Er waved his hand and changed the topic.
Xie Ling was a little embarrassed, as a botanist, she was extremely proud to talk to her about her life's work, but the talker showed boredom, which was a merciless blow to a scientific researcher.
Seeming to get used to the blow, Xie Ling quickly got rid of that embarrassment, and said in an orderly manner: "The root system of these trees has an impact on the soil, which is exclusive, and there is no room for other plants to live in their range, so we can't find food in the covered area of the woods. ”
Lin Er sighed, I see.
Wang Qiang also sighed, isn't this just a clear thing to say in one sentence, what a toss.
At this time, Wang Qiang saw Jiang Yun's figure in the distance, and thought, what is this little girl walking around alone in the dark and windy, isn't she afraid of bad people.
Jiang Yun's graceful figure slowly appeared in Xie Ling's sight, for her daughter's beauty, the mother has a natural worry, here is a group of unknown men, but annoyed that his own man is not at home, Xie Ling is particularly worried.
"Mom, I'm back, and the food has been distributed." Jiang Yun jumped in front of his mother like a deer, his face was filled with joy, and his little apple-like face was exceptionally beautiful in the moonlight.
Lin Er looked at Jiang Yun, this little girl used to have some taste, but she was chased by zombies during the day, and she didn't notice this one.
And Wang Qiang's eyes looked at Jiang Yun without any scruples, scanning like a ray, if his eyes could be strong, Jiang Yun had unfortunately been tainted by the eyes of the two perverts.
Jiang Yun was quite ladylike in front of his mother, and his eyes were a little evasive when he looked at Wang Qiang at first, but when he noticed that Wang Qiang was looking at him unscrupulously, Jiang Yun was also a little spicy, and he was not to be outdone, and glared back fiercely with his beautiful big eyes.
Ouch, this is beautiful. Wang Qiang felt that in Jiang Yun's gaze, it seemed that the White Rabbit Milk Candy was about to melt, and there was no place in his body that was not crispy and soft.
Lin Er was also a little distracted, in the nest of Xiacheng, Lin Er didn't eat less tender grass, but those girls seemed to be puppets who had lost their vitality, in order to eat a mouthful, it was completely a scene to eat, and it was okay to post it upside down, and there was no such weird and spicy taste of elves at all.
It can't be compared, it can't be compared, Lin Er thought silently in his heart.
But Lin Er is an old man after all, and he quickly regained his composure after losing his mind, because for Lori, Lin Er, a big man like Lin Er, likes beautiful more, such as this one.
Lin Er looked at Xie Ling, and in the conversation with Xie Ling, Lin Er always took the initiative, tried his best to express himself, and even did not hesitate to show off his knowledge, which is the unique temperament of a person who has been in the leadership for a long time, in Wang Qiang's words, this is the spirit of Wang Ba.
Xie Ling grabbed her daughter's hand, pulled her behind her, and said to Lin Er and Wang Qiang, "Two, do you have any other questions that I need to answer?" ”
Wang Qiang has already been hooked away from his soul, and he hurriedly said that there is no more.
Instead, Lin Er snorted and asked calmly, "I don't see the leader and the young man in your settlement today, do you know where they went?" ”
Xie Ling's face changed, and her eyes wandered, as if she was thinking about what language to use to prevaricate.
At this time, the onion-headed Jiang Yuan rushed back from outside, and shouted at the top of his voice before he entered the house: "Mom, Mom, Uncle Niu said that Dad took someone to negotiate with the big bad guy Fang Zhong?" ”
Lin Er keenly caught something, and asked in a strange tone, "Who is Fang Zhong?" ”
Xie Ling was a little annoyed that her youngest son's big mouth was not covered, and she was a little annoyed that Lin Er was fierce, and she also glared at Lin Er, and said unceremoniously: "What's the matter with you." ”
Lin Eryi wiped the board inch, and his heart shouted, ouch, Nima, why am I dizzy when this girl stares at me, hey, I blame her angry appearance is so good-looking, this girl is simply printed in a mold, it's amazing.
For a while, Lin Er lost an inch, and his magic skills were broken.
Lin Er said a little sneeringly: "It's me who talks too much, don't ask, since you have something to do, and now it's getting late, we won't bother, let's go." ”
After speaking, Lin Ertou didn't look back, and strode away, leaving Wang Qiang, who was looking like a nymphomaniac.
Wang Qiang has already wandered into the world, completely in the realm of forgetting things and me, and he doesn't know what unsightly things he is thinking. Until Xie Ling shouted: "This little brother, your companion has already gone back, aren't you leaving?" ”
Wang Qiang's soul was pulled back by Jiang Yun and her mother from nine days away.
The son-in-law is afraid of his mother-in-law, who is born, especially Wang Qiang, a guy with a strong sense of self-substitution, who has completely entered the state.
Wang Qiang looked at Xie Ling, then at Jiang Yun, smiled stupidly, and said, "This is back, this is back." "I just turned around and moved three times, and I didn't go far for half a day."
Xie Ling was completely annoyed now, she still had some scruples about Lin Er, but for this half-grown son, Xie Ling didn't care about her disgust at all, and scolded viciously: "The prodigal son of Dengzi lacks education." Then he took his daughter and son by the hand, slammed the door and went into the house.
Wang Qiang came back to his senses at this time, his face turned red in an instant, if anything would still stimulate Brother Qiang, it must be the phrase "lack of education".
Because Wang Qiang's parents died early, some people say that he is uneducated, and he will think of his father who has never met and his mother who died early.
Wang Qiang stood outside the door, clenched his fists tightly, and then turned to leave. When he returned to the campsite, he saw Lin Er leisurely roasting a piece of beast's meat by the campfire.
Wang Qiang sometimes has to admire Lin Er, this fierce guy fights zombies during the day, and has an appetite to eat barbecue at night, other city defense team members want to vomit when they see meat now, even Wang Qiang is no exception, this is the gap between people and people.
Lin Er saw Wang Qiang approaching, cut a piece of bloody meat with a military blade and handed it to Wang Qiang, Brother Qiang was thinking about whether to eat or not, because he almost vomited his stomach during the day's encounter.
Lin Er saw that Wang Qiang didn't take the meat he handed over, so he wasn't angry, and ate it by himself.
"I was not too far from you that year, and I was serving in the army. The army executes the prisoners, and I am responsible for the execution.
When the bullet hit the prisoner's head, the white and red came out of the hole, and I didn't eat for three days. Lin Er said with some nostalgia.
"It has been more than 20 years since the killing began, and I have gradually understood a truth, people are inseparable from meat. In the days of hard survival, lack of meat leads to lack of nutrition, and lack of strength in hands and feet. Later, he couldn't fight, and his physique gradually weakened, and he was finally defeated and killed. One thing I learned from this is that there are only two kinds of people living in this era. ”
Lin Er swept his teammates who had already laid down to sleep, and said meaningfully: "Those who eat meat and those who don't eat meat." ”
