Chapter 302: Thousands of Wisps of Red Light ......
The coordinates are free of variables, and the endless brilliance of the sky is sprinkled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was not a single sound in the cold world that was dark but not completely dark, and under the dim pale light, it seemed as if time itself was going to be completely frozen here by the low temperature of more than minus 200 degrees Celsius.
The slender structure that seemed fragile was suspended in the air in this deliberately created gravityless space, wisps by wisp, some parts of which stood motionless in mid-air, while others seemed to be slowly rotating. In fact, most of the veins that stretch out are growing slowly to an extent invisible to the naked eye, but their long growth cycle is not comparable to the rate at which microorganisms proliferate, and even the oldest creatures on Arashi do not grow so slowly. For 100 years, 100000 years, 10,000 years, or even 100 million years, these white silk threads interpret the lifeline according to their own unique trajectory.
Source spores, origin spores, the original source of thousands of life in the universe.
Although it is not 100% certain that all life comes from source spores, it is well established that at least almost all intelligent life comes from source spores. Of course, as the common ancestor of life, the source spores could not be worshipped on the altar by those civilized races that had begun to actively explore the mysteries of the universe, and their actions were completely predictable, and the source spores were regarded as an extremely important experiment, testing how they would react in different situations in various ways, and exploring the mystery of the origin of life.
However, preserving source spores is not an easy task...... In the natural environment, Protospora generally wanders disorderly in the vast starry sky, relying on the weak energy in the starlight to proliferate slowly. Since any change in the external environment may lead to the irreversible collapse of information of the source spores, which can evolve into a wide variety of strange organisms, it is difficult to preserve the original source spores in their original form.
Judging from the information obtained from Yuchen, how to preserve the source spores has been a major problem that has plagued many civilizations for a long time. If the source spores are placed in an environment with strong energy reactions such as high temperature or strong magnetic field, then they can easily fade the mysterious quantum veil and become a special life form after being stimulated by a large amount of external energy. However, if all the energy is blindly isolated, and the light, temperature, sound, etc. are all suppressed to almost nothing, so that the energy obtained by the source spores is even far less than the cosmic vacuum environment, then it will cause a strong rebound effect, once a civilization conducted an experiment The consequence is to create a creature that can directly use the zero point energy of the vacuum, and the endless energy influx almost caused an irreparable disaster at that time, causing the latecomers to dare not do this again.
After a lot of experiments, the best idea of how to preserve the source spores was finally universally accepted in the universe, and the conclusion sounded a little ridiculous, that is, to simulate the most natural environment in the vacuum of the universe, and the repeated experiments finally pointed to the starting point.
In this case, the collapse of the source spores is still inevitable, but its activity has been reduced to the point where it is most manageable, and there are generally no major surprises when stored separately.
Now that she has obtained enough information, Xinglan naturally will not make repeated mistakes. She opened up a special space under the ground for the storage of source spores, simulating the natural cosmic environment as much as possible, and at the same time, after dividing them into equal amounts, she set up strict observation equipment to remove the source spores that began to evolve as soon as possible.
This is very necessary, although in most cases the source spores have only turned into some rudimentary single-celled organisms, but there have been a few very strange things, such as one time the source spores abruptly contracted to produce a strange ball of light similar to plasma, showing an obvious intelligent reaction, but its lifespan obviously came to an end directly after just a few tens of seconds, so fast that Xinglan suddenly self-extinguished before he had time to collect enough information.
They have been dormant for the long years of their absence, but can the entity's containers really shut down the source spores completely?
The answer, of course, is no.
The source spores are uncertain in the microstructure, it is a special product after the superposition of infinite qubits, with infinite evolutionary possibilities, so it itself actually has a certain degree of coordinate drift in the coordinates of time and space, and when an accidental probability event occurs in one of the containers where the source spores are sealed, an extremely small spore filament is so coincidentally separated from the main body of the source spores. It shuddered slightly, and then appeared directly near the surveillance equipment on the outside of the container as if it were a spatial jump. This process did not cause any fluctuations in the space shelf, and was completely hidden in the dead space of the probe.
Because this is a natural spatial drift, and the existence of this spore filament is too small to attract the attention of the signals that Xinglan monitors the changes in the space shelf, this filament source spor just left the range of the container, but it has not completely left the gravityless space, so it continues to float forward gently. The base was not meant to be viewed, so most of these fixed machines were not wrapped too tightly, and it naturally landed on one of the highly integrated circuit chips, where it came to a standstill.
As the faint electrical signals flowed through the board in a regular rhythm, the filament of the source spores hung lightly on it, not looking like much had changed, but it seemed that something was slowly changing.
Absorb energy, perceive the environment, determine probability, and collapse of form. No one knows where the source spores came from, but they have rewritten the world.
……
Lanxing, Northern Yuan Continent, Yaoyue Forest.
Even in the noisy environment where the earth was shaking, the moment the moon tree fell to the ground, there was still a dull loud roar...... For ordinary animals, their hearing has almost reached the limit of what they can bear, so it is not so much a further stimulation of the ears as it is like a blow to the heart.
What are the consequences of a behemoth with a height of nearly 100 meters falling to the ground? This scene is difficult to describe in words, a clear dividing line suddenly appeared in the originally densely arranged leaf forest, and almost all the other trees within a few tens of meters on both sides of the Moon Prayer Tree collapsed, and the snow on the entire forest seemed to be completely shattered in an instant, and the flying white snowflakes covered up the terrifying disaster.
Even from a distance, it has such power, so what kind of terrifying waves will you face once you are in the forest? Twilight didn't know, and she didn't want to imagine, she saw Suhui yelling in anger, but she couldn't stand up when she was shaken to the ground again. The bone mask he was wearing was finally shaken off during the earthquake, revealing a look of near-despair.
Fear kept pouring out of her heart, almost suffocating her.
Several stratopterosaurs fell from the sky with a wail, and although the earthquake could not directly affect them, the wind blowing with the change of the earth and the strong noise in the air still made their brains on the verge of collapse, and they were no longer able to regulate the movement of their muscles during flight, and the gray sky in the distance was cast an ominous shadow.
Perhaps they should be glad that they are still in the vast plains of the Northern Yuan Continent, and there are no cracks on the ground, this earthquake is more of a psychological blow to them than a direct physical injury, but the same clan in the Bright Moon Forest is not necessarily.
The earthquake was beyond Xinglan's expectations, but even she couldn't let the earth tremble directly subside, so she could only wait quietly for a minute or so before the earthquake gradually calmed down.
Su Hui let out a low breath, and he didn't even wait for the earth to completely calm down before he put on his mask again and ran at full speed towards the Shining Moon Forest. The thick clothes left him completely unharmed from his previous fall, and he didn't even care about Xinglan and Twilight anymore, just looking in the direction where the moon tree had fallen...... The only thing to be thankful for may be that there is only one fallen prayer tree, and the other two are safe and sound.
Twilight Snow is not much better than Suhui, and it has been learned that this is basically the last settlement of the Moon Prayer in the Northern Continent, so it is very likely that Yumo is also in the Shining Moon Forest. As soon as she thought of the previous disaster, she inexplicably felt a strong sense of unease, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xing Lan, her eyes with the meaning of inquiry.
Xinglan naturally understood what she meant, and after nodding, she saw Twilight Xue running quickly in the direction of Yaoyue Forest with Su Hui, she looked at the broken blade behind her helplessly, obviously it was still immersed in the fear just now, and it couldn't even stand up.
Xinglan sighed softly and looked up at the snowy sky, the unexpected earthquake seemed to be just a simple coincidence, but in connection with a series of recent events, she still felt that it should not be due to pure chance.
At the end of the distant sky, a brilliant fiery cloud seemed to be faintly reflected, and the brilliant light that flickered like a flame seemed strange and terrifying.
She stared at the brilliant light, but not with the optical capture device of a mechanical body. The network of signal sub-networks, large enough to drown out the stars, stretched out a small corner, but it had completely obscured the sky for several square kilometers, and then it rose to the level of the clouds at speeds of more than a thousand Machs, and saw the green smoke and fire rising in the distance, a forest of striated leaves burning.
Sure enough, this is not just a pure illusion.
An earthquake can destroy trees, destroy terrain, or even move mountains to reclaim the sea, but it shouldn't cause trees to burn, especially when a distant forest of striated leaves has completely turned into a sea of fire, and the burning is obviously ignited by something hot in the cold weather.
Xinglan looked high in the sky, and the signal subs formed a huge pupil with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the huge amount of information began to pour into the thinking network, but at this moment, even the eyesight of the people who prayed for the moon could already see the strange scene sprinkled from the height of the clouds.
The firelight outlines a bright tail flame in the sky, like a meteor shower approaching.
