The thoughtful service of the guests in the A-class cabin made Gong Yaming's interstellar journey on the Pink Crystal Star unexpectedly pleasant, and at the end of the 53-hour journey, when he walked out of the spaceship, he even felt a little energetic.

At the apron of the long-range aerospace airport, which had been here twice but still didn't know the name, Gong Yaming casually jumped into a trackless self-propelled car whose destination was the exit of the tarmac, and slowly came to the exit of the tarmac.

Because he didn't carry any luggage at all, he easily walked out of the tarmac directly, and 10 minutes later, he successfully met Xu Guilun who was waiting at the exit passage of the airport.

Gong Yaming and Xu Guilun greeted each other briefly, and the two walked out of the airport together and got into a modified gray medium-sized hovering car.

As soon as the flying car took off, Gong Yaming asked: "What happened to Gui Lun, you can't tell me clearly in the telegraph, do you want me to come to Pink Crystal Star?" ”

"Boss, something unusual happened to the mutant banyan tree that you asked me to take care of properly..."Xu Guilun said solemnly.

"Gui Lun, although the banyan tree planted by that food seed is very important to me, if it really doesn't grow well, I will never blame you, after all, the growth of this mutated plant is not something that can be controlled by man." Gong Yaming interjected.

"No, no, no, boss, it's not that your banyan tree is growing badly, but it's growing too well," Xu Guilun said with a strange expression: "According to the latest measurement data last night, it has grown to 876 meters tall and has dropped 2 aerial roots, covering about 56.17 square kilometers of land. ”

Hearing Xu Guilun's words, Gong Yaming thought for a while and said, "Is that the growth of the mutated banyan tree that has begun to affect the continued construction of Guilun City."

But Gui Lun, I remember hearing you say that even if the mutated banyan tree really envelops the entire city of Gui Lun, if we adjust the urban planning, we can still build hotels and casinos under the trees..."

"Boss, the mutated banyan tree you planted has not affected the continued construction of our Guilun City in the slightest, on the contrary, it has increased the usable land area of Guilun City by 56.17 square kilometers." Xu Guilun shook his head and interjected.

Gong Yaming was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise: "You mean, the space where the mutated banyan tree grows and envelops is the fern tree forest that has been recognized as an A-level biological disaster by the top biologists of the Federation!" ”

Xu Guilun nodded and said, "Yes boss, your banyan tree is actually superior to those fern trees whose rhizomes are rooted thousands of meters underground and have an amazing recovery rate.

It takes aerial roots into the ground, grows and wraps around the rhizomes of the fern tree, absorbs the nutrients of the fern tree, causes it to wither and lose its life, and uses the nutrients of the fern tree to grow rapidly. ”

"The truth is above, Gui Lun, I remember seeing it from the Interstellar Exploration Code of the United States of the Galactic Federation," Gong Yaming was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "It has been recognized as Class A unusable land by the Central Political Axe of the Federation, which is legally equivalent to the wasteland of an unknown planet.

Those who succeed in using and transforming this land, whether it is a natural person or an association, an institution or a local political axe, will enjoy exactly the same rights and interests as the discovery of the new colonial. ”

Xu Guilun nodded again and said: "Boss, your legal knowledge is very accurate, as you said, from the perspective of federal law, how much land the mutant banyan tree you planted encroached on in the fern tree forest is equivalent to how much land you have discovered.

And after you become the Crowner of the Federation and have the legal interstellar colonization rights of the Federation, these lands can be directly incorporated into your territory. ”

"This is really good Gui Lun, the truth is above, this is indeed a big deal, I'm sad that you must have me come to Pink Crystal Star," Gong Yaming said excitedly: "Although we don't know how much of the Fern Tree Forest that mutated banyan tree can eventually envelop, but in any case, this matter can bring us huge benefits..."

"There is still a huge trouble, boss, don't forget, the area of the Fern Tree Forest is 176.22w square kilometers," Xu Guilun interjected with a wry smile, "And the mutant banyan tree you planted now is a key to get this land."

If the news spreads, there will be too many forces to seek it, and we will not be able to cope with it. ”

Gong Yaming suddenly frowned and said, "It's true, but a mutated banyan tree that is nearly 1,000 meters high, covers an area of dozens of square kilometers, and is still expanding, absolutely cannot be hidden. ”

"Actually, a lot of people are paying attention now, boss," Xu Guilun sighed and said, "Although because things are too unbelievable, no one thinks that the mutated banyan tree is actually the key to the management of the fern tree forest."

But if the situation continues to develop, sooner or later, the truth will be seen through by others.

We are still too young to fully control our own city, so that now we can only use some small tricks to delay time, and we can't even do a good job of passive defense. ”

Gong Yaming closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said softly: "Don't worry, Gui Lun, since no one thinks that the mutant banyan tree I planted can govern the fern tree forest, then the situation is still under control.

As for the countermeasures in the future, I will go and see the banyan tree with my own eyes, feel its current state with a stand-in, and then make a plan. ”

Xu Guilun nodded, opened a bottle of red wine from the table in front of him, poured a glass for Gong Yaming, and then poured a glass himself, drank it in one gulp and said, "Boss, what you said is the safest way." ”

Gong Yaming and Xu Guilun, who were worried, drank an entire top red wine of Blue Star Manor along the way, and after a long journey of 4 or 5 hours, they finally came to the farm on the outskirts of Guilun City, where Gong Yaming's food seeds were planted.

Walking out of the hovering car, Gong Yaming saw that the Mywell agronomist, surrounded by agronomic assistants, was scanning the huge banyan tree on the farm that seemed to lead to the sky with an admiring expression.

Walking quickly to Maiwell's side, Gong Yaming opened his mouth to greet: "Hello Maiwell Agronomist, how is this banyan tree of mine now?" ”

Hearing Gong Yaming's question, Miwell, whose eyes were bloodshot, his beard was messy and thick, and he looked tired, turned his head to look at him for a while before recognizing him, and said excitedly: "It's you here, Mr. Gong."

Your mutant banyan tree is growing very well now, reaching a height of more than 900 meters, and the area covered by the canopy is constantly expanding.

I think Ms. Xu Guilun has already told you that this mutant banyan tree is even better than the surname in terms of invasion..."

Gong Yaming waved his hand, interrupted Mywell's high-minded talk, and whispered: "What you want to say, I already know about Mywell's agronomist.

Now push some away, and I'll sneak into the mutated banyan tree as a stand-in to see how it's growing. ”

Hearing this, Maiwell was stunned for a moment, and after 3 or 4 seconds, he suddenly ignored Gong Yaming's identity as his gold master, and shouted loudly with a red face: "No, Mr. Gong, you can't do this.

This banyan tree can manage the ecological disaster of the Pink Crystal Star Fern Tree Forest, and may eventually provide more than 170 square kilometers of land for humans.

You use a stand-in to infiltrate and probe its growth, and if you are not careful, you may cause irreversible damage to it, which is a great loss for the entire human world, and you cannot risk it. ”

Gong Yaming smiled and said, "I have to remind you that this tree is my property, even if it is harmed, withered, and dies, it is my property that has suffered a major loss, and it has nothing to do with the entire human world." ”

While Gong Yaming was talking, under Xu Guilun's signal, several sturdy black-clothed men sprang out of the farm, strode to the sides of Mywell's body, grabbed his arm, and forcibly pulled him away from Gong Yaming's side.

Seeing what happened to Maiwell, Jason and the other agronomic assistants, who were also eager to try and want to stop Gong Yaming, suddenly became very embarrassed, stunned for a while, lowered their heads one after another, and began to retreat as if they hadn't seen anything.

Ignoring Mywell, who was struggling in vain while shouting, "Who are you, let go of me...", Gong Yaming closed his eyes and drove the stand-in to fly, merging into the huge banyan tree in front of him... As soon as the stand-in entered the banyan tree, Gong Yaming immediately felt a hunger that was difficult to suppress suddenly emerge from his consciousness, or the depths of his soul, and instinctively, he felt that the food that could solve this hunger feeling seemed to be at his fingertips.

The more he adjusted the synchronization rate of the stand-in and the banyan tree to probe the current growth state of the banyan tree, the more real and intense this hunger in Gong Yaming's consciousness became.

In the end, he couldn't bear the desire in his heart, and according to his instinct, he let the substitute solve the hunger in his consciousness.

Unexpectedly, after one attempt, it was out of control, and after feeling that after letting the stand-in act according to instinct, the soul gradually felt full and satisfied, and Gong Yaming, who could no longer control his will, could only endlessly let the stand-in act and continue to act according to instinct.

In the eyes of the rest of the farm, Gong Yaming's stand-in infiltrated the mutated banyan tree, and nothing unusual happened at first.

Dozens of seconds later, the branches and leaves at the top of the suddenly mutated banyan tree began to squirm slowly, and gradually this creeping became faster and faster, and finally a faintly recognizable 'rustle...", came into everyone's ears.

Seeing the increasingly serious vision of the mutated banyan tree, Xu Guilun walked quickly to the side of Mywell, who was still firmly grasped by the man in black, and asked, "Mywell agronomist, what's wrong with this mutated banyan tree?" ”

"It's, it's growing, the truth is on top, it's stretching its leaves, it's speeding up," Mywell, who couldn't care about the pain in his arm, looked up at the huge banyan tree not far away, and muttered: "You still don't understand that this banyan tree is growing rapidly when you listen to the beautiful 'rustling' sound that comes down from thousands of meters in the sky." ”

At this point, Mywell struggled vigorously as if he were awake, and at the same time shouted: "Let go of me, you idiots, you have no idea what the current situation means for special plant ecology."

I'm going to measure the current growth rate of this mutant banyan tree, the truth is above, I ask you in the name of human biological science..."

"Mywell Agronomist, you can measure all the data of this banyan tree after Mr. Gong's stand-in leaves the banyan tree," Xu Guilun suddenly took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, stuffed it into Mywell's mouth, and after stopping his shouting, he whispered coldly: "But all you can do now is to close your mouth and stay where you are." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and 10 hours later, the sky broke and Gong Yaming, whose face had become very pale and tired, finally opened his eyes.

He stiffly moved his body, turned around and looked at Xu Guilun, who walked to his side, and said with concern: "Don't worry about Guilun, except for being a little tired, everything is fine."

Now let the agronomist of Mywell measure the height and enveloping area of this mutated banyan tree, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”

Under Gong Yaming's command, the two black-clothed men who were like sculptures, motionless and holding on to Maiwell all night, finally let go of their palms.

Already in a trance, tormented by fatigue and anxiety, as soon as he regained his freedom, he rushed to his device without saying a word of protest.

Without saying a word, he looked at Mywell calmly, and made a few unknown instruments to inspect the mutated banyan tree for a while.

After he stopped, Gong Yaming walked slowly to Mywell's side and asked softly, "How many indicators have the various indicators of this mutated banyan tree reached by Mywell Agronomist now?" ”

Marvell subconsciously replied with a shocked face: "The height of the tree has not increased much compared to last night, only reaching 1098.87 meters, but the area covered by the canopy has almost doubled, which is 110.76 square kilometers.

How can this be, this does not correspond to the principle of growth of living things at all..."

After getting a satisfactory answer from Mywell, Gong Yaming no longer paid attention to Mywell's self-talk, turned to look at Xu Guilun who was following him and said, "Guilun, find me a room on the farm to rest, and the two of us will talk alone." ”

"Okay, boss." Xu Guilun nodded and replied.

10 A few minutes later, under Xu Guilun's arrangement, Gong Yaming walked into the corner of the farm, about 800 meters away from the mutated banyan tree, a farm caretaker's room that had been urgently fully disinfected and cleaned up.

Although the room is only 60 square meters in size, it has all kinds of living facilities, sitting on a small beige sofa that has been sterilized, turning on a hand temperature display, and just taking out the ice wine from the freezer, Gong Yaming waited until all the other idle people left, and said with a smile: "Very intimate and thoughtful preparation."

Gui Lun, you can always make people feel perfect even the tiniest details. ”

Xu Guilun frowned, shook his head and said, "Boss, if I were really as good as you said, we wouldn't be as worried as we are now." ”

Gong Yaming sighed, drank a glass of ice wine, and said, "Gui Lun, no matter how talented a person is, if he wants to give full play to his talents, he must also have some basic conditions.

And now our situation, to use an old proverb of the earth's native civilization, is called 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'.

However, the data measured by the agronomist of Mywell just now is exactly the same as the change I felt when I induced the growth of this mutated banyan tree as a stand-in, which proves that my feelings about this mutant banyan tree should be correct.

It is still in the initial stage of growth, and there is still very, very huge growth potential, which will surely bring us unimaginable huge benefits, so no matter how difficult it is for a good woman to cook without rice, we must do our best to protect it. ”

Xu Guilun carefully tasted the meaning of Gong Yaming's words, and her always calm face showed an irrepressible look of shock, she subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Boss, what do you mean..."

"An inadvertent induction of growth made the mutated banyan tree grow 2 more aerial roots, and the enveloped area increased by 1 times," Gong Yaming sat on the sofa, stretched his body, and said softly: "The synchronization rate between my stand-in and the mutant banyan tree is already above 85%, and I clearly felt last night that it has at least 10 more opportunities for this explosive growth."

In other words, if I use a stand-in to induce the growth of the mutant banyan tree tonight, the area of the fern tree forest covered by its canopy will probably change from 110 square kilometers to 220 square kilometers; If it continues tomorrow night, it may change from 220 square kilometers to 440 square kilometers, and so on 10 times? ”

"But boss, we can't be sure that every time that mutant banyan tree grows explosively, the area covered by the canopy can be doubled." Xu Guilun was silent for a while, and said in a somewhat dry voice.

Gong Yaming breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You're right, Gui Lun, it was all my inference just now.

But by the time I'm doing it tonight, I'm inducing the growth of a mutant banyan tree with a stand-in, and the inference is correct, and we'll have a rough idea. ”

"Boss, if your inference is correct, then in the next 10 days, we may live a thrilling life." Xu Guilun thought about it, walked to the sofa opposite Gong Yaming and sat down, poured two glasses of ice wine, handed one of them to Gong Yaming, and said in a very serious tone.

Gong Yaming took the ice wine, took a big sip, frowned slightly and replied, "There will never be anyone who blatantly orders the federal army to attack our farm, and even if they have such a force, it is impossible to have such time to prepare.

Gui Lun, I don't know if you can get some more of those Type 6 special tools you prepared for me last time, with them, the farm will be much safer. ”

Xu Guilun sighed and said, "Boss, I have prepared 3 more special tools for you last time, and if you need them, they can be sent to the farm in half an hour."

But now having a laureate personally protect his land from encroachment makes me feel like I'm living in the 'Great Purge' era when the Union was just established more than 10 years ago.

Those feudal kings and nobles who compromised to join the Galactic Federation and became laureates due to the situation, secretly amassed strength, and conspired with their loyal courtiers to restore it one day.

The senior bureaucrats of the Central Committee of the Federation used assassinations and all sorts of insidious schemes to break up the forces of the Union states that were trying to split the Union. ”
