Chapter 178: A Leaf Boat Drifts lightly......
The low temperature is sealed for thousands of evolutions, and the twilight light waves the river surface.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a sense, the Death Base can be regarded as an ancient relic in this star system, through continuous self-renewal to refresh the state of these hundreds of millions of years, this base is no longer the base of the year, even if there is no big breakthrough in technology, it has replaced almost every alloy plate and every screw...... Except for one place.
The starship Nova, which has been lying there quietly since hundreds of millions of years ago, has only undergone several external energy supply changes, and its internal equipment has remained silent in a vacuum and has never changed.
It's not that I don't want to renovate and update the internal equipment, but I can't transform it, once the old internal equipment is changed, then it will inevitably break the stable environment of absolute zero, and once this constant state is broken...... Xing Lan didn't know if the hibernation pod could withstand this kind of toss, but Xiao Cheng's body would definitely not be able to withstand a second complete hibernation.
Silently staring at the spaceship that suddenly appeared many, many years ago outside the sealed valve, Xinglan could only sigh softly and manipulate the signal to move away from here.
Can't go in, don't dare to go in. Xinglan didn't even have a trace of the signalron inside the nova, because she was afraid that the active energy response of the signalon would break the silence of absolute zero? Or is it just a simple fear...... Don't dare to face all this inside?
If the equipment inside can last until that day, then Xinglan naturally does not need to rush to overhaul it, if the equipment inside has been damaged, resulting in a complete failure of the dormancy plan...... It's better not to look at it, it's a big deal to just put it here, and keep inputting energy until the final end of the universe.
And far away from this dormant place, there is also a special environment immersed in ultra-low temperatures, but compared to the environment where it has remained unchanged for almost 10,000 years, there can be no carelessness here, because all accidents cannot be predicted at all.
Number of separations...... It's almost impossible to count. ”
Xinglan checked the records of the laboratory, and the information she got was even startled, and before she knew it, the automatic system of the laboratory had cleaned up countless by-products, but its own growth rate was extremely limited.
In the huge vacuum jar in front of Xinglan, strands of slender silk slowly expanded and extended at the bottom of it, flickering with some kind of mysterious halo that was indescribable.
Source spores, origin spore filaments.
"No wonder it's so precious, it's really hard to feed." Xinglan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Nutrient spore is like multiplying stem cells in a petri dish, you don't need to worry about it not growing or accidentally raising it to death, this thing is outrageously strong, and the only problem is what they all have in common: this thing is too easy to differentiate into all kinds of weird things......
Anyone who has ever raised stem cells knows that if you leave nothing to do with it and let it grow on its own, it will eventually become a complete mess of all kinds of cells.
And the source spores are like the totipotent stem cells of the universe. It is easy for it to collapse and evolve into various organisms under the slightest stimulus from the outside world, and if it were not for some kind of rule that restricts it from making a probability judgment on whether or not to evolve, so that most of the source spores retain their own form, no one would have been able to preserve this precious ancient sample intact.
After returning from Yuchen, Xinglan had no good way to limit the self-evolution of these source spores, so she could only place them in a vacuum container in a low-light environment, and lowered the temperature to an ultra-low temperature close to absolute zero.
Some people may say that since it evolves when stimulated, let it be in an environment where it will never be stimulated.
However, there is no external stimulus that is a stimulus for the source spores themselves, and Yuchen has warned Xinglan not to try to stop the evolution of the source spores by cutting off all energy supply. It is said that some civilizations have done this, and heat, light, and kinetic energy...... Almost all possible sources of energy were cut off to stop the evolution of the source spores, but in the end, the source spores were violently stimulated and turned into a strange state......
Space zero-point energy creatures.
Yes, you heard it right, after actually cutting off almost all energy supply, the source spores instead evolved a frenzied space zero-point energy creature that directly used space energy...... Not even the signalns can draw this kind of energy.
After hearing about these lessons from the past, Xinglan didn't dare to do anything drastic, just used ultra-low temperature to slow down the change rate of the source spores and let them develop, this degree is obviously not enough to completely prevent the evolution of these superimposed substances, but the automatic system can at least quickly separate some of the spore filaments from the main body after discovering the evolution, so as to retain the morphological stability of most of the source spores.
Over the years, there have been countless completely different microscopic organisms, but it can be seen that the source spores are not really omnipotent, and most of these tiny organisms quickly perished after slightly changing the environment...... Some can't even withstand a temperature difference of one degree Celsius in the environment.
"However, I did get some interesting samples......" his eyes swept over a few smaller vacuum tanks on the side, and Xing Lan finally felt a hint of pleasure in his heart, "Then, it's time to look for those two guys on Lan Xing, this time it's only been a year away, it shouldn't have changed much." ”
……
Lan Xing, macro continent.
It is not for nothing that the macro continent is the most biologically distributed continent in the whole Lanxing, and the tropical climate of the equatorial region and the humid air currents surrounded by the sea make it a unique and wonderful environment, and it has become the place where almost one-third of the species of Lanxing live.
The endless rainforest......
A wide river runs through this lush rainforest, and if you look closely, you can even occasionally observe a few small golden fish leaping from the top of the canopy trees on both sides of the river, spreading their fins in the air and gliding into the wide river like real birds.
Zenith fish, these small fish that live on the top of the canopy tree, this is the dawn of the dawn at the moment, naturally compared to the dragon soul period, they still live in the small pond of different colors at the top of the canopy tree, but they are no longer completely limited to this. It's clear from the gliding with their fins that they are still on the path of evolution.
The setting sun shone faintly on the horizon, and the only remaining blood-red light weaved a brilliant sunset on the horizon, and on the other side of the sky, wisps of starlight that were still faint had begun to gradually brighten, and a fiery red moon began to appear, dividing the entire canopy into two areas: day and night.
Frost, frost, the silvery white moon of ice and snow left only a shallow crescent, silently watching the land in the middle of the sky, sprinkling cold silver light down.
At dusk, the entire primeval forest seems to shimmer like a sunset...... No, it's not an illusion, it's that the trees are really flickering with a faint glow in a rhythm.
Tiny creatures clinging to the rough trunks of the trees, unlike the murderous leaf insects, they are gentle embellishments, connected by their bodies to form a faint band of twilight light.
Sunset insects, insects that only emit a faint glow to attract mates when the sun sets, clinging to the trees of the rainforest, becoming a unique and beautiful sight.
It seems to be a beautiful landscape, but in fact, there are countless murderous motives hidden in it. Most creatures face the abundant food resources of this continent, but also face the ubiquitous natural predators, so they simply do not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery...... Except for some guys who are basically at the top of the food chain and at the same time idle and panicked.
"It's so boring...... "I rolled lazily in place twice, feeling the whole environment bumping up and down, Xiyu squinted his blue eyes slightly, "It's really an empty day, I feel like I'm going to mold if I continue like this." ”
The sound of murmuring water came from beneath him, but all he saw was a verdant greenery. If she had clearly felt the water flowing below a year ago, Xijie might have been frightened and screamed, but after staying in Hongdu for a year, she just felt the ripples of the water indifferently, and looked completely used to it: "It's quite comfortable to sleep like this, but it's really boring......"
In the sweet smell of the canopy tree, gently swaying, a small boat drifted downstream along the slow water.
Of course, this is not a canoe, but a product of pure natural ecology.
Jasper green plate, go with the flow. The boat lotus has no roots and is free from the water.
It is a plant that looks like a lotus leaf, but the middle is concave like a small leaf, and it does not have a firm root system that holds it in place, but only drifts along the long river, but at this moment, it has become a means of transportation for the tide knot.
There is no need to worry that this plant, which can only drift along the river, will become extinct because it cannot return to the starting point, the macro continent is not like the Nanyuan continent, which can almost be run through by a river, but is densely distributed with countless lakes and waterways, which will flow from east to west, and then from west to east, and it is impossible to find a common trend at all.
At first, she was a little apprehensive when she tried to travel this way, but she soon realized that this worry was completely unnecessary. Zhou Lian is actually a very resilient plant, even if she tears it with her own claws, she can only tear a few small openings on the edge, and the wide area makes it almost impossible to flip over.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and Xi Jie, who was already so familiar with it that he couldn't be more familiar with it, didn't even bother to open his eyes completely: "Yo, Uncle Wind, why do you have the leisure to come and chat with me again?" ”
Xianyin Bird folded its wings and stood on the edge of the Zhou Lian, looked down at the lazy little guy, and made the other party jump in surprise with one sentence: "Xinglan is back." ”
"What!" Xijie, who originally looked unmotivated, suddenly came to his senses, and stared at the fairy bird who was combing his feathers as if no one was around, "But this is too short, it's only been a year, how do you know?" Has your sister contacted you? ”
"Look up at the sky." The wind passed only lightly replied.
"Huh?" Shioyu looked up at the sky, only to see a long flame erupting from the surface of the Fire Moon Gang, which had just risen from the horizon, and the entire planet seemed to be experiencing a catastrophe that turned the world upside down.
There is no doubt that there is only one guy who can do this......
"Are you really back......
