Chapter 589: Discovering New Situations
Coming down from the mountain, Miao Pu and his entourage quickly discovered a new problem.
This huge basin has a mist-like low-altitude energy layer, where the air is toxic and the oxygen content is extremely low.
Although Miao Pu has just obtained the plant element factor that can improve air quality, at most it can make a simple device that can filter poisonous gases, and if he wants to provide everyone with enough oxygen, he can't do it for a while, especially when exercising, people consume more oxygen.
This conundrum bothered everyone at once. After some deliberation, everyone decided that Luo Zhiqing would explore efficiently, while the rest of the people would do what they could, such as collecting samples, collecting available materials, and preparing for the return trip.
Luo Zhiqing can't stay in the poisonous gas and oxygen-deficient environment for too long, but as the strongest of the awakened, she can quickly get out of the low-altitude energy layer, in fact, when she moves space, she also involves hypoxia and other situations, so she has a set of special equipment.
Even so, Miao Pu still took the southwest route, that is, along the cliffs to the southwest. In this way, she can climb the cliff to get rid of the low-altitude energy layer more easily, and thus breathe oxygen. Besides, with her Void Shifting ability, the cliff path is not particularly difficult.
In Zhou Shuai's words, "The world is full of plants, but there is not even a decent wood to be found." ”
Indeed, if you look at the plants in this basin from an ordinary perspective, you can call them crooked melons and cracked jujubes, and it feels like all of them are reptilian plants, and the only difference seems to be that some are huge and some are short.
Of course, this is only an intuitive, rough impression, and if you are willing to pay attention, you can still find a lot of interesting places.
All the vegetation is not higher than the low-altitude energy layer, and this interesting phenomenon was first discovered by Li Xuesong.
At the same time, Jiang Shangqing led some people to collect samples, Kang Danian organized people to clean up the route from the bottom of the mountain to the beachhead, making the road easier to walk, and Miao Pu explored nearby.
It took more than 2 hours before and after, and the machine spirit conducted a number of samples and analyses of the soil, air and nearly 100 species of plants in this basin. However, the final result of the analysis will not be available until about 6-8 hours later, after all, the analysis is not just a simple operation, but also involves operations such as chemical reactions.
In fact, in essence, the analysis method of the instrument spirit is not much different from the analysis of the real room of modern science, and even has insufficient levels.
Miao Pu was fiddling with strange-looking bottles and jars, and it felt like a legendary alchemist was playing with evil potions, and from time to time there was smoke and fire, and the sound and light effects were very full.
Moro is by far the smartest and most autonomous Flood token, and although they are combat-ready, they are no problem doing some clumsy work, and the crude rock ladders have replaced the original ramps with their efforts, and a large amount of rubble has been swept down the ramps and scattered everywhere.
About 6 hours later, Miao Pu got the analysis report of the machine spirit, to put it simply, combined with what he saw and heard along the way, this should be an artificial, huge ecosystem. There are all kinds of plants, animals, and microorganisms growing in it...... The connection between these organisms may be difficult for humans on Earth to understand, but it is a complete system.
In addition, there is good news, the overall environment here has micro-energy particles similar to those in the Yanggu Mine, and its effect is of course similar to Chrono-Temporal Evolution, and it is not like the Yanggu Mine Cave with a terrifying source virus. It's just that the micro-energy particles here are relatively thin, and the effect is relatively mild and not easy to detect.
When Miao Pu heard this, his heart moved, and he gave birth to some plants with the idea of having dates and not hitting a pole, and began his operation.
The plants spawned by Miao Pu seem to be quite low-end, much like the vines that were used earlier, but these things don't look lethal, and the roots of each plant are like a big jar, and they wriggle from time to time.
In about half an hour, the flowers began to bloom on these strange plants, which were strange flowers, only three petals, with huge stamens, pure white and light purple transitions.
After a while, the flowers were gone, and the plants began to bear fruit, and Miao Pu knew that he had succeeded.
In other words, if he couldn't get the micro-energy particles here, Miao Pu thought of the characteristics of the condensed essence of the Xuan Ling, so he pondered to make a plant, like the method of sucking up monsters to operate in the soil, to see if he could get some essence fruits, and the result was still some harvest.
Unfortunately, this method is obviously not efficient, but it is rare.
When Miao Pu was tinkering with the essence fruit, Ji Ling made another conclusion, that is, the plants in the forests and grasslands on the other side of the earth and the sea are the source of these ugly and strange plants here.
This situation made Miao Pu confused. The information given by the machine spirit allowed him to sketch such a situation:
Man-made exotic species are released from their source, and in special cultivation fields, they are spawned and spawned into a variety of branches. However, at this time, the plants were still out of place in this world. Because they do not belong to today's world, they have long since died out due to the vicissitudes of the environment.
Now, they are back, but they can only survive in a special small environment.
However, with a good start and enough time, life can always find a suitable way out for itself. As a result, after many generations of reproduction, they have the qualifications to go out into the wider world from a special environment.
They borrowed some strange creatures to enter the Earthsea, crossed the Earthsea, and then obtained enough materials to establish a new biological form on the other side of the Earthsea, which is more suitable for the current earth's environment.
However, what is the explanation of the original mother trees in the bead-chain channel?
According to the previous logic, the evolution pattern of the primordial mother tree should be the more primitive the closer to the underground space, the closer to the entrance and exit of the underground area, the more mature. Only in this way can we conform to the overall trend of northward migration and marginal evolution of species.
However, the actual situation is the opposite, the closer the primordial mother tree is to the underground space, the higher the degree of evolution, 27 bead chain spaces, almost 27 evolutions.
Also, how to explain the brood company camp? Now that you think about it, they look like a metal wall on the periphery of a cave inhabited by primitive humans, and they seem out of place.
Before that, he had always felt that the storage of the brood company camp was to protect the rear of the underground space from invading.
But now he doesn't think so. He felt that perhaps the speculation he had told Luo Zhiqing earlier was the truth, that is, the source civilization as a third party alone was not monolithic, but there were at least two camps, one camp could be called the [program school], which represented the force that operated according to the program after the source program was activated. This force includes program self-protection, evolution, defense, etc.,
The other camp is the [Rejuvenating Soul Faction] that appeared for unknown reasons, that is, the capable people he guessed about resurrecting their souls, these people may not be his opponents in terms of combat effectiveness, but their mastery of the knowledge and skills of the source civilization and the understanding of this underground ruins are beyond everyone's reach.
The Rejuvenating Sect is using this advantage of itself to stir up trouble and try to achieve their goals. This purpose may be in conflict with Proceduralism. On the human side, including the Aragami people, the various factions of the organization, and even him, because of their own purposes, they intervened in the conflict between the [Procedural Faction] and the [Reincarnation Faction], which made the whole situation even more complicated.
Of course, this kind of inference still lacks enough information to confirm things, it is more just Miao Pu's speculation, which is what he thinks is the most self-consistent and reasonable explanation based on the existing information.
To say such an inference, the practical meaning is to let him be mentally prepared, so that he will not be caught off guard and suffer a big loss.
What can really solve the problem is strength. The higher the strength, the easier it is to solve the problem, on the contrary, it is all kinds of hard work.
Therefore, the fundamental purpose is still that sentence: in a relative time, as much as possible to grasp the strength of enough, is the key to solving the problem.
With such a cognition, Miao Pu naturally takes maintaining and even improving the combat strength of his team as the first priority.
So he actively prepared for the battle, accumulating the energy of the ability, the energy here is abundant, and after his efforts, when Luo Zhiqing returned, not only the energy deficit had been replenished, but the life energy also had some additional reserves.
In addition, Miao Pu's small calculations can also be regarded as a harvest, a sack of essence fruits. Don't underestimate this sack, when it comes to energy synthesis, it is enough for him to recover his energy 4 times. Of course, the essence fruit can't be compared after all
