Chapter Ninety-Four: Luo Shu
The development of the little tree man is simply barbaric, its vines continue to extend towards the garbage mountain, from time to time stretching out the root system, tightly entangling the garbage below, and even extending into the gap between the garbage.
No matter what kind of garbage it is, as soon as it takes root, a large amount of corrosive juice will be secreted, melting the garbage and then absorbing.
Various elements entered the body of the Treant, accelerating the development of the Treant.
The ground began to shake slightly, gradually rising upward, Zhang Qifan extended his mind to the ground, and suddenly saw that under the soil on the ground, the tree man was extending a huge root system, expanding in all directions.
Whether it is a root system or a vine, it is like the limbs of a tree man, wherever it extends, it is claimed to be there.
The soil is rich in silicon, and when a large amount of decomposed silicon enters the root system, the surface of the vine quickly becomes silicified, making it easier for the vine to resist the harsh environment of the Death Star.
The massive root system penetrated deep into the ground and soon extended to the location of a metal mine, mainly iron ore with small amounts of gold and silver.
These metallic elements break down quickly and enter the root system.
Then Zhang Qifan's soul sensed that the textured fibers of the vines were becoming more and more dense, accompanied by changes in texture and structure.
When the vine grows again, it begins to make a creaking sound, whether it is shrinking or rooting, it is becoming more and more powerful, and the root system wrapped around some metal objects is no longer satisfied with slowly melting, but begins to crush and dissolve large pieces of matter, and the speed suddenly sped up several times.
Under the gaze of Zhang Qifan and others, the tree man spent two hours. Cover the entire mountain of garbage with vines. Then, the hill, which had been high and uplifted, became more and more deflated and flattened.
It is a small green bud that has just grown. At this moment, it has become criss-crossed, the surface is as hard as a rock, the maximum diameter is one or two meters, and the gray-brown vines are like large snakes, and there is still a half delicate appearance.
As the raised hill melted, a straight branch began to stretch toward the sky in the center of the vines.
One meter at the time. The trunk is as thick as an ordinary arm's arm. At two meters, the trunk becomes thigh-thick and branches are branched. Four meters. Eight branches have been divided.
Five meters, ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters. In just two hours. Treants from a pile of vines. It grew into a giant tree.
Its crown is very evenly branched, and does not grow leaves, but instead has fluffy hairs, clumps, clusters, like countless dandelion flower balls.
As soon as the wind blows, all the tiny things in the air stick to the fluff, whether it is poisonous gas. Or radioactive fallout, or hydroxide. They are all 'sticked' down by the fluff regardless of size, turned into energy, or temporarily stored.
In the underground root system, some rhizomes begin to alienate and bulge, and some elements that have been decomposed but are temporarily unused will be transported to these rhizomes for storage.
Almost all the elements and substances that can be used have been savagely appropriated by the Treants, turning them into energy and components of their own bodies, and constantly adjusting the methods of growth to make themselves more and more adaptable to the environment of this planet.
Even on meteorites with no light and no air, treemen can develop and grow, not to mention the planet that used to be life.
Within a few hours, the tree man grew into a towering giant tree without any danger, and then, an innocent voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Qifan's heart: "Master." β
This voice contains excitement, curiosity, curtains, attachment and other feelings, Zhang Qifan was stunned when he heard it, this is the idea of the tree man?
The tree man, who had established a solid root system on the ground and grown into a towering giant tree, finally awakened his mind.
"Your name is Luo Shu." According to human habits, Zhang Qifan used his original surname to give a name to the tree man.
"Oh, my name is Luo Shu, what is 'Luo'? Why is it called a 'Luo' tree? Luo Shu asked curiously.
Like all new intelligent beings, Luo Shu is obviously full of curiosity about the world, and the genetic information engraved in the genes of the tree man can make it understand what a 'tree' is, but obviously it can't make it understand what a 'Luo' is.
Zhang Qifan was stunned by the question, blinked his eyes, and didn't know how to explain it. Say 'according to human convention'? But his name is Zhang Qifan now, not Luo Qiu.
"I like ......." After struggling for a long time, Zhang Qifan could only helplessly give such an answer.
"Oh, the master likes to call me Luo Shu, the master likes Luo Shu, I'm Luo Shu, ha." Luo Shu was very satisfied with this answer, and muttered to himself proudly.
Zhang Qifan looked at the towering giant tree in front of him, and then at the quiet virgin-like Yulia beside him, and wondered in his heart, these two tree people seem to be a little different?
The little tree man Luo Shu seemed too lively, and kept asking questions in Zhang Qifan's heart.
While dealing with Luo Shu's obviously too naΓ―ve question, Zhang Qifan asked Yulia, "What now?" What else do I need to do? β
The Luo tree, which has grown into a giant tree in the sky, is bigger than any plant on the earth, but this is only the beginning of the tree people, and it is not qualified to be called the World Tree.
But Zhang Qifan has never had any experience in planting trees, so he doesn't know what to do next. Or is it necessary to speed up its growth?
Yulia thought for a moment and explained: "In the genes of our tree people, the experience of coping with most environments passed down from our ancestors is engraved in the genes, as long as it is not a very special environment, it will not restrict our growth. β
However, the evolution of life always takes precedence over the direction that is most beneficial to us, and better adapts to the environment around us, which often conflicts with your wishes, so it is your responsibility to guide its evolution. You need to sue it, you need it to grow into what it needs to be. β
At the beginning, Yulia did not have the restrictions of her master and grew freely, but the result was that the entire Ba Erxing was possessed, and her root system had almost hollowed out the entire interior of Ba Erxing. This is not a healthy state for a planet.
Zhang Qifan planted tree people on the Death Star in order to get a boost, not to harm the Death Star, and proper guidance is very necessary.
This is also a means for the Treants to reproduce and spread their branches, and only if they can coexist in harmony with other species, will others be willing to bring the Treant seeds to any corner of the universe.
If the place where it takes root is plundered by it uncontrollably, then it is not a tree man that everyone loves, but a zerg that everyone shouts and beats, and the zerg is also an infinitely multiplying creature. h (To be continued......)
