At around 3 p.m. Earth time, Hope discovered the location of the Desert Planet's (official tentative name), an algae-like underground plant, green in shape, with tiny particles extending from the inside of green algae cells, these tentacles have the special ability to absorb energy, and can also decompose metals in unknown ways, provided that when all the energy is absorbed, it will begin to decompose its metal structure.

At the same time, at around 3:05 p.m. Earth time, the geological exploration team camped, where several underground drills were drained of energy, and then the underground drills were absorbed by the plant, leaving behind a large pile of sand particles of impurities.

At about 3:08 p.m. Earth time, the camp of the geological exploration team was attacked by alien creatures, in the first wave of attacks, there were flat alien creatures and sea urchin-like alien creatures, seventy-three people died, and the rest of the personnel hid in the fortifications of the camp, at the same time, the large team of the geological exploration team, a total of more than 2,400 people, they had received the order of the Hope, and immediately turned back to the Hope from the way, but according to the visual inspection of a large number of personnel, traces of the existence of alien creatures have been found around it, I just don't know when I'm going to be attacked......

When Yao Yuan led the rescue team back to the Hope, he was faced with such a harsh situation, now the time is 3:11 p.m. Earth time, the casualties in the camp of the geological exploration team have risen to one hundred and seven, and they replied to the report that there are already covered with all kinds of alien creatures, and even the alien creatures themselves are still tearing each other apart, they dare not dump drinking water in the camp at will, in fact, in the first wave of attacks, after seventy-three people died, when everyone retreated into the depths of the camp, The monsters were swaying around like headless flies.

Until one of the soldiers was ordered to dump drinking water, those monsters showed an unimaginable madness, they not only sucked the whole land where the drinking water was dumped, but even the people who went to dump the drinking water were torn to pieces, which also led to a conclusion that these alien creatures not only have the ability to smell water molecules, they should also have other abilities to detect the outside world, but they usually do not smell the existence of water molecules. They're not so ferocious and crazy.

And from the large force of the geological exploration team, the large team of more than 2,400 people, they are already rushing back to the Hope, but there are more and more alien creatures following them, even if they do not open the space helmet, and they do not leak a trace of drinking water, but those alien creatures have been getting closer and closer to them, and they are becoming more and more ferocious, and the attack may break out at any time, which also proves that these alien creatures have biological instincts in addition to obvious learning ability, Some of the creatures among them may have more or less understood that the living beings inside these spacesuits have a lot of water......

Yao Yuan is currently facing such a situation, the two teams need to be rescued immediately, otherwise they may never return to the Hope, and the energy of the Hope is still being sucked away, judging from the scanning results and self-inspection results of the Hope, there are more and more green plants under the Hope, because the energy that has been sucked away per unit time has been more and more, and if this acceleration continues, even if the Hope has three nuclear reactors, it can only last for about six hours at most, and after that, Hope will run out of nuclear energy, and at that time, Hope will turn into a coffin, a cosmic coffin of metal!

Time is running out for Yao Yuan......

"I see, are there six hours left?" After Yao Yuan listened carefully to all the reports, he immediately summoned the biology-related scientists, and at the same time handed over the corpse of the alien creature in his hand to them.

"This is the only nearly complete extraterrestrial corpse that has been obtained, and I hope you can dissect it immediately, by the way, have you obtained specimens and data of the alien plants that are currently absorbing the energy of the spaceship?"

Yao Yuan asked the relevant scientists, including scientists from biology, chemistry, genetics and other subjects, nearly 100 people gathered in this small conference hall, these people were also full of anxiety, obviously, they were very familiar with the current situation of the Hope, and it was overturned overnight.

One of the scientists said: "Yes, we tried to collect a few of these alien plants, but this plant can devour anything, and when it absorbs its metallic substance, the impurities become sand particles, metal, plastic, glass, porcelain, everything can't contain it, except for energy, in the presence of energy, it doesn't decompose anything, but the energy causes the plant to divide and multiply on its own, and when the absorption is finished, more plants will decompose more matter." ”

"Sour!" Yao Yuan suddenly said: "Extremely strong acid, whether it is aqua regia or something else, only extremely strong acid can suppress the growth and phagocytosis function of this plant." ”

"Sour?" Many scientists were very puzzled, they couldn't figure out what the connection between the plant and acid was, but since Yao Yuan provided a direction, some scientists ran out of the conference room and began to conduct experiments in this area, and the remaining scientists also left one after another after getting the corpses of alien creatures provided by Yao Yuan, and only a few biologists were left by Yao Yuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have left you here to ask for something...... Do you think plants are conscious? Yao Yuan thought about the wording, and then he asked a few biologists.

These biologists are all world-famous scholars and experts over the age of fifty, not comparable to those brick houses called beasts in a certain country in the past, these biologists only hesitated slightly, and one of the old men said directly: "Major, we can tell you with great certainty that plants are conscious, which can be concluded from many classical experiments, such as plants can change the distribution of their body fluids according to the burning of flames, and at the same time will produce biological-like emergency measures. There are also some plants that will communicate with other plants through the volatilization and production of certain chemical agents, perhaps from the roots and the like......"

Yao Yuan immediately interrupted the scientist's big question, and he immediately asked, "I mean, do plants have the same consciousness as humans?" For example, setting a trap, waiting for the prey to take the bait, and then swallowing the prey in one gulp, does the plant have such a concept? ”

Several scientists immediately looked at each other, they didn't understand what Yao Yuan wanted to express, one of the scientists said: "I'm afraid this is impossible, even according to some special plants that already exist on the earth, such as Venus flytrap, it does catch insects, but its reaction is just an emergency change of a plant, that is, just the insect falls on its leaf surface, and then its force makes the liquid flow in the stem of the plant, resulting in the opening and closing of its leaves, which is the same as mimosa. It's not that plants have developed a concept of 'I', 'food', 'eat', etc., plants don't have neural circuits like animals, and they don't have neural ensembles, such as brains, etc., so it can't have such a concept......"

When Yao Yuan heard this, he thought carefully about his expression language, and said after a long time: "Everyone, I'm just making an analogy, you can listen, it is impossible for this to happen, a certain plant in the long-term evolution of life, suddenly produced a collective consciousness, just like the collective consciousness of ants and bees, a plant, or a bunch of plants is nothing, but when a large number of such plants are gathered together, each of them is like a brain cell, Taken together, they become a complete collection of consciousness. ”

"I don't know how to express this concept, everyone, please let go of your thoughts, this is the big universe, this is no longer the earth, we have not only encountered alien creatures, but also encountered this kind of alien plants that absorb energy and metals, so let go of the common sense shackles on the earth before, please think about it carefully, is it possible that plants will evolve to such a possible surname? A huge collection of consciousness, and this consciousness collection has a simple intelligence, they crave energy, they crave metal, and even they control all the creatures, and even absorb everything on this planet, and turn it into the current desert area, not only that, because of its huge number, so its consciousness is very large and terrifying, when there are life forms in the universe driving spaceships closer, it can feel the existence of energy and metal, Is it possible for these life forms to have an attraction or deceptive ability similar to that of the Venus flytrap, so that these life forms subconsciously approach? ”

Several scientists were already stunned, they didn't know how to answer, what they had learned for a long time, what they knew, and what Yao Yuan said was almost completely contradictory, and after a long time, one of the scientists suddenly said: "Okay, Major, let's put aside the shackles of the earth's thoughts, let's go through a rhapsody like a rhapsodic, do you mean that a certain plant has a mutation and evolution, it, or they come together to understand how to think...... But no, if it and they know how to think, they will gradually develop civilization, although it is incredible, but a civilization developed by plants, this is not an unimaginable thing, so why should they destroy their own planet? Turning the planet into a barren land? ”

Yao Yuan didn't know what to say anymore, he said hard: "No, maybe you have misunderstood my words, I mean to say, this plant has produced a collective consciousness, but this consciousness is very ...... Well, is it possible that a naïve, ant-like or bee-like consciousness will simply pursue reproduction, food, and avoid predators, and so on, without generating concepts such as 'me', 'you', 'he', and so on? ”

Several scientists still had an incredible expression, but they didn't want to At this moment, several scientists suddenly ran in directly from outside the door, and they all shouted excitedly: "Major, the autopsy of the alien creature has begun, we have found a large number of green plants in this alien creature, no, it should be the larvae of this plant, or it is like a spores, only a small amount of water is needed to grow into a mature body, by the way, it is the kind of plant mature body that absorbs energy and metals, We soaked it with strong acid, and all its life activities were really suppressed to the limit, and it no longer absorbed energy and devoured metal, but it was still alive, and the vitality of this plant was terrifying! ”

"We can prove that it is the plants that are indulging the creatures of this planet!"
