Chapter 066: Venus Trap (Ask for Recommendation)
With the emergence of the pet craze, all kinds of animals appear in the streets and alleys of Banna, and all kinds of birds, insects, fish, and snakes are dazzling.
But the most eye-catching thing is the four people and four pigs. The pigs were collared, tied with ropes, and dragged all the way by their owners.
"These four have such unique tastes! Admire! ”
"Walking pigs?! Domineering side leakage!! Everyone looked at the four of them with admiration.
The four of them were triumphant and very satisfied with the admiring gaze of everyone: "This is the era of showing individuality, and if you want to take the special route." While others walk cats and dogs, birds and turtles, we are walking pigs and walking life. The bull breaks domineering and does not explain! ”
Amu didn't end up taking the big leopard to town, because his little vanity had been satisfied with the TV show. And the big leopard didn't go either, because it had already completed Aoki's task.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months passed, that is, the thirteenth spring after Aoki's rebirth. Although it was still the dry season, it rained more than usual, with heavy rains every few days.
The shrubs and grass around Aoki have become a little more lush after being catalyzed by 10 times the vitality. The tall trees have gradually accelerated their growth and should reach a height of 100 meters in about a month. However, due to the competition for sunlight, land and other resource space, some tall trees have been eliminated. The natural law of survival of the fittest is vividly expressed here.
Looking at the height of only more than 40 meters, and then looking at those tall trees of more than 90 meters, I will always feel envy in my heart.
"In a month's time, soon."
The hamster that lived under Aoki was now looking around under a small shrub next to Aoki and nibbling on young leaves.
After this period of vitality, it has begun to evolve. The size of the body has not changed much, it is still the size of a palm, and the whole body is still round, but it can be seen from the daily movements that its speed and strength have improved significantly.
The color of its body has changed greatly, the original brown fur has turned purple, and the three black lines on its back have now turned golden, as eye-catching as a gold belt, and the whole body is not only lovely, but also very beautiful. The protective color is gone, but it has become brighter, and I wonder if it will frequently encounter various natural enemies in the future.
But now Aoki has kept it as a pet, like two giant squirrels, two pythons, two leopards, two pangolins, and two golden eagles.
It's also strange to say that this pair of guys didn't get pregnant last year, and according to the experience of previous years, they should have been pregnant last year. Does it really confirm the law that "the stronger the race, the lower the fertility"?
Just as Aoki was thinking, he inadvertently aimed at a strange and familiar plant.
"What is this? Why does it look so strange. ”
It grows right next to the stream, and the whole tree is only 10 cm tall, and it has five leaves the size of a pot lid, which is large and thick. Each leaf is assembled like two green saucers, arranged in a V-shape, and spread separately on the ground. There are inward-facing side buds on the edge of the leaf, and there are 5 soft spines on the inside of the leaf.
"I don't know what this thing is for, how does it grow so strangely, so the fat leaves can't be to absorb the sun, right? And it seems to have fewer rhizomes, not as many roots as other plants. ”
Just as Aoki was thinking about this, a short broken branch fell from the sky and hit one of the leaves. Then its two saucer leaves quickly closed in less than two seconds under Aoki's astonished gaze, and then the side buds on the edge of the leaf bent and snapped together, gradually enveloping the entire branch. Subsequently, some liquid can be seen spilling inside.
"How is it so similar to Venus flytrap?" Seeing this, Aoki understood what it was. I just don't know what the original nature of this grass is, because Aoki hasn't found any trace of the flytrap in this valley.
In terms of plants, apart from the devil vine outside the valley that catches animals, there is only this flytrap. Judging by the size of its leaves and the speed at which it closes, it should evolve to a decent degree.
After 4 hours, it was probably found that the captured thing would not move, and the leaves began to open, revealing the dead branch.
Seeing this, Aoki is already sure that he has evolved a mechanism to determine whether the prey he catches is an animal.
The 5 soft thorns growing inside the leaf are the same as the sensory hairs in the original Venus flytrap, which are used to determine if something has entered the leaf, and to determine whether it is an animal after the leaf is closed.
However, it is not without its shortcomings, just like the dead branch, if there is no heavy rain to wash this leaf, the dead branch will definitely remain on the leaf and continue to occupy the leaf. If this is the case all the time, then this leaf used for hunting can be said to be wasted.
Soon after, a 2-meter-long fishing snake swam in the direction of the plant, spitting out snake letters. As the snake approached, its tongue approached one of the leaves, spitting out the snake's letter, and its nose fluttering.
"There must be some smell that attracts this snake, it seems that this flytrap has evolved a scent to lure animals."
The snake sniffed it, felt that there was no danger, and poked its head out and crawled up to the leaves.
Aoki carefully stared at the movements of the fishing snake snake and the flytrap, only to see the snake keep swimming up, and when the whole head and front body swam into the leaves, it touched the feeling hair for the first time. At this moment, the two leaves of the flytrap begin to close.
The fishing snake found that something was wrong, and was shocked, and shrank the snake's head at the place of conditional launch. Although it was caught by the edge of the leaf when it exited, it was able to escape quickly with its strength.
"......" Aoki looked a little sore, and the evolution of this flytrap still has a big flaw.
First of all, there is a problem with the prediction mechanism, and it is unreasonable to close the hair immediately when it touches it for the first time.
The second is the secretion of flavors capable of seducing relatively large animals, which is a failure. After all, if the capture blades are not large enough and not strong enough, it is impossible for large animals to catch them. If the pangolin is lured by it, there will be endless trampling of the Venus trap.
Also, the original Venus flytrap has a limit on the number of leaf closures, so I don't know if it has it.
In short, Aoki is not optimistic about the future of this flytrap. However, every animal and plant learns from countless failures and evolves to adapt to the new environment, and perhaps after a few months, it will begin to become perfect under the catalysis of vitality.
As the day passed, just as Aoki was preparing for the start of his third evolution in a few days, a major event related to Aoki suddenly occurred in the world.
As various things continue to happen in Banna, China, such as megafauna, communicating with animals, improving the environment, etc., many countries are very hot, although they have established research institutes in the border areas of Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, etc.
All kinds of spies are active in Banna and the border, among which the United States and the European Union are the most.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and an American spy successfully entered the database of the Banna Botanical Research Institute and stole a terrible piece of information, in which the existence of the Yuanqi Tree was mentioned in a few words. Although this source only mentions the existence of the Metaverse Tree in a few sentences, it is clearly written that the Vitality is generated by the Vitality Tree.
Subsequently, the United States did not hesitate to expose and sacrifice five spy agents to divert China's attention and search for another important piece of information. The data generally mentions some preliminary research results of the Genki tree, involving Genki generation, living conditions, soil conditions, etc.
The American ZF was ecstatic to obtain this valuable information, and since the establishment of the Genki Research Base in Southeast Asia, the crucial question of how Genki came to be has remained unanswered. In the institute, many scientists have quarreled about this issue more than a dozen times. Some say that it is a special gas leak from the ground, some say that it is caused by plant mutation, some say that it is caused by microbial mutation, and some more daring scientists put forward the conjecture that "there is a small channel in different dimensional space inside the underground".
"It turns out that China actually hides such a good thing!" U.S. President Baunder Obama was thrilled and immediately convened a meeting to discuss how to use this information for greater benefit.
