Chapter 140: Conducting Experiments, Mars Receives Goods

It's not so easy to graft the elf fruit, at least to know what nutrients the elf fruit needs, which means analyzing what nutrients the branches of the world tree deliver when cultivating the elf fruit.

Of course, Yang Zhou can experiment more to see if he can use the Genesis Mushroom to produce elves without supplying certain nutrients alone.

This is a long-term experiment, the ripening period of the elf fruit is one or two years, and when converted into reality, it is almost a day, Yang Zhou plans to use the nutrients of the creation mushroom itself to supply the elf fruit.

In order to ensure the success of grafting, it is necessary to use the gene editing function of the system to clip the genes of the two genes together, so that the properties of the two organisms are more similar, and the probability of success should be much greater.

After being busy for more than an hour, Yang Zhou grafted the elf fruit onto the top of the head of the Creation Mushroom, and the current Creation Mushroom was very different from its original appearance.

The parent body of the Genesis Mushroom is very large, but the Genesis Mushroom No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are actually only the size of adults, and the mature body of the elf fruit to be grown is also so large, it is not realistic at the physical level.

Yang Zhou changed some genes to plant the genes mushroom in the ground like carrots, and the top of his head became a fruit.

The fruit slowly grows larger, but it is actually placed on the ground, and some fixed brackets are added around it, so that when the fruit ripens and cracks, the creatures inside come out, it is a bit like in a xenomorph movie, where the xenomorph egg breaks the shell.

On the surface, there are no other branches and leaves, and the nutrients are actually provided by the genesis mushroom buried in the ground.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not buried in the ground, because the Genesis Mushroom stores a large amount of spatial spring water, and doesn't actually need to absorb any nutrients from the soil of the mysterious space.

All the nutrients that the elves need are actually provided by the accelerated spring water, and the spring water consumed is still relatively large, anyway, in their own space, it doesn't matter.

It is not clear whether Yang Zhou can succeed now, but on the surface, it seems that the elf fruit has begun to develop normally.

With a 512x acceleration effect, the Elven Fruit is visibly getting bigger and bigger from the size of a peach.

Yang Zhou didn't cut the fruit directly to see if it contained a spirit.

His clairvoyance ability is still effective in the mysterious space, and he can actually see the inside of the elf fruit.

After using the perspective, Yang Zhou found that a life was indeed born in the fruit, and like a person, her navel and the inner wall of the fruit were connected together.

And the fruit is connected to the creation mushroom, and the nutrients that the elves need are connected and transported by this umbilical cord.

This will continue until the elf reaches adulthood, which is when Lynn was born, and she is about the same as an 18-year-old girl.

Of course, whether the final elf is conscious or not still needs to be verified.

However, Yang Zhou speculated that this elf would most likely be an idiot, because without connecting to the World Tree, he would not be able to obtain the memory information of the World Tree inheritance.

While observing the elves, Yang Zhou also found a rather embarrassing thing.

That's the elf bred in the elf fruit, and it's still the relationship between the girl and the Martian world tree.

If this body can be used in the end, then Yang Zhou is equivalent to having a female doppelganger, which is embarrassing to think about.

Compared to being able to act and speak with this kind of body shell on Mars, a female doppelganger is a female doppelganger, and no one will know that he will have such a doppelganger anyway.

It's uncertain whether it will succeed in the end.

During the growth of the elf fruit, Yang Zhou repossessed his consciousness to the creation mushroom of Mars.

The spaceship of the secret space base probably landed near the Martian crater at this time, and Yang Zhou naturally would not attack his own spacecraft.

Speaking of which, he hasn't had a good look at the surface of Mars yet.

This time, I decided to personally go to meet my own "warehouse" of replica fungi.

The secret space base did not engage in any conspiracy, and the last time it encountered an alien civilization and was threatened by an alien civilization, it brought half of the replication fungi in the Red Beach Laboratory without being sure of the technological level of the alien civilization.

There are more than 500 in total, and less than 100 of them contain replicating fungi that accelerate the spring water.

The other replicating fungi are all in number, but the people at the secret space base don't know.

They also thought that these were all the same people of the mushroom civilization.

Compared to the active mushroom people on Mars, the replica fungi found on Earth are similar to real mushrooms, completely unconscious, and when they were sent letters, they were in the water of salt lakes and lakes, and they were finally salvaged, and they did not show any intelligence.

At regular intervals, a large number of replicating spores are released.

This is also the reason why Red Beach is a desert, which has now become a base for the cultivation of various medicines.

Yang Zhou controlled the Creation Mushroom, sat on the communication vehicle, and followed the communication vehicle to the original spaceship parking location.

More than a month has passed, and the original rocket is still parked in place, and all kinds of instruments are working normally, which can be regarded as a satellite signal relay device.

With a spacecraft weighing tens of thousands of tons, it is not afraid of sandstorms on the surface of Mars at all.

Lin didn't come along, as her body was already similar to that of a human, and she couldn't breathe Martian air, so she had to hide in the area covered by the World Tree or live in the underworld.

There was a lot of silence along the way, because the original communication vehicle was very rudimentary and had no horns.

The reason for the ability to collect video and sound is that in the original design, the Mars exploration rover also had scientific research missions, and if Yang Zhou's Oasis spacecraft could not be found in the first place, the communication vehicle could also dig on Mars to analyze the geology, and also analyze the Martian air.

This is not the first time that Huaguo has landed on Mars, and there is Zhurong in front of it.

Compared with the beautiful country, it is still a lot behind, and now there is more than one exploration device in the beautiful country of Mars.

In addition to the exploration vehicle of the secret space base, there are also 2 exploration vehicles, of which the beautiful country launched the Curiosity exploration vehicle in 2011, which has been working on Mars for more than 10 years, and the nuclear power used is still working.

The other is an upgraded version of Curiosity, Perseverance, launched in 2020.

Human beings have explored Mars many times, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, more than 47 probes have been launched to Mars, of course, many probes have not reached their intended destinations, and many are just temporary work, such as landing on the surface of Mars, digging some soil and using analytical instruments to analyze the signal back to Earth.

So far, only the moon has been obtained from other planets in the solar system, meteorites are not counted, and Mars is the next target to obtain soil.

It's just that this goal will soon be accomplished by scientists in China.

Because this spacecraft can go back and forth this time, that is, after the spacecraft transporting the cargo unloads the cargo, it will also collect a large amount of Martian air, soil, and if possible, even hope to collect the World Tree Tree Organization.

This needs to be discussed with the Martian civilization, and the secret space base has not yet been asked.

At the beginning, it was considered that the Martian civilization might attack the runaway spaceship, and maybe it would anger the spaceship of Huaguo, so this round-trip spacecraft was still not manned.

After Yang Zhou arrived at the predetermined place by communication car, he waited patiently.

Of course, the location he chose was far from the landing site, and the location was still chosen by the secret aerospace base, and they manually controlled the communication vehicle, so they didn't dare to let the mushroom people get hurt.

Now the people in the secret base of space are still sighing.

Unexpectedly, the mushroom people of the Martian civilization did not need any devices, and they appeared directly in the Martian atmosphere.

As you can see from the footage, the mushroom people of Mars are not carrying any devices at all.

Some scientists have also put forward speculations in their minds, such as the white skin on the surface of this mushroom man, which may be a kind of spacesuit.

A bit similar to the small mecha in science fiction works, or a biological mecha, the intelligent life of the Martian civilization is not only of the type of Lin, but also other smaller intelligent life, they live in the body of the mushroom man.

Some scientists speculate that the mushroom people breathe Martian air.

This is easier to understand because plants absorb carbon dioxide, and the Martian air contains a lot of carbon dioxide.

Maybe mushroom people are just like plants, they breathe carbon dioxide to survive, humans breathe oxygen, and vegetative people naturally breathe carbon dioxide.

In ancient times, there was a large amount of carbon dioxide on the earth, and the life on the earth at that time were all anaerobic organisms, and they breathed carbon dioxide.

The reason why most of the life on the earth now breathes oxygen is that the air on the earth contains more oxygen.

It is also because of the appearance of a bacterium called "cyanobacteria".

Cyanobacteria are able to release large amounts of oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide, and over time, there is less and less carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere, and oxygen is getting higher and higher, completing the replacement of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

With the abundance of oxygen, the original anaerobic organisms continue to disappear, new life is born, and the gas that breathes is oxygen.

If anaerobic life evolves and wisdom emerges to solve the problem of carbon dioxide production, oxygen is poison for them, and carbon dioxide is an essential gas for survival, then different types of life may develop.

Scientists also suspect that there is life in the universe that breathes hydrogen.

In the course of natural evolution, anything is possible.

In any case, the Mushroom Man is certainly a very well-evolved species, capable of surviving in the oxygen environment covered by the World Tree, as well as on the surface of Mars, in a carbon-dioxide-rich environment.

For humans, mushroom people are very valuable for research.

It's just a pity that they can't get a sample of the mushroom people, and it would be great if they could catch a mushroom man for experiments.

This kind of thinking can only be imagined, the mushroom people are so powerful now, and the earth civilization does not dare to provoke them now.

Zhong Cheng saw the spacecraft land through the time-lapse footage, and then the hatch opened, and a small wheeled robot came to the surface of Mars along the railroad tracks.

The shape of the spaceship is still of the rocket type, but the base is much larger, more like a rocket with three base rockets connected to the tail, and the spacecraft is equipped with a total of four plant engines.

If the people at NASA saw this scene, they would probably cry with envy.

They paid a great price to get one, and now the secret space base has the luxury of using four plant engines.

When the wheeled robot comes to the mushroom man, there is a display screen on its head, which is very convenient for communication.

Text can appear on the mushroom man's stomach, and the display on the head of the wheeled robot can display images and text.

And it can still be played with sound.

The Martian atmosphere contains a lot of carbon dioxide, and sound just can't travel in a vacuum, as long as there is a medium, it can travel sound.

The density of carbon dioxide is higher than that of the atmosphere, so the sound emitted on the surface of Mars actually travels a little faster than that of Earth.

"Hello friends of the Martian civilization, I am Zhong Cheng, the person in charge of the Huaguo Aerospace Secret Base, and this time I am responsible for communicating with you about the transaction of copy fungal goods....

The opening line of the meeting is set in advance, and the wheeled robot will automatically say these words when it detects the mushroom man.

Then it is to receive the feedback screen, wait for the earth's aviation base to receive it, and then the person behind it will reply, so as to complete the information exchange with the Martian civilization.

I've heard from Lynn that the Martian civilization speaks Chinese and English, so there is no need to worry about the language barrier.

Yang Zhou saw a robot talking to a mushroom possessed by him, and he felt very interesting.

Earth's technology is also evolving, and now it's becoming more and more sci-fi.

Especially in recent years, AI has developed very fast, and Yang Zhou is sure that the automatic control program of this robot is also very advanced.

In the case of no one controlling, it can also automatically identify the surrounding environment and conduct a series of scientific experiments.

Every time waiting for a reply, it was a waste of time, Yang Zhou said hello to the robot, and was ready to pick up his goods in person.

He doesn't need to deliver it to his door, don't look at the replicating fungi on the earth are honest, it was actually Yang Zhou who gave them an order not to move.

In fact, each replicating fungus has a certain amount of intelligence, and all of them are controlled by the creation mushroom itself.

These replicating fungi cannot be regarded as independent life, but as doppelgangers and tentacles of the creation mushroom itself.

Of course, in the past, Yang Zhou often killed replicating fungi, used the shell of replicating fungi to make supermelted materials, and even used a large amount of supermolten materials in plant engines, so Yang Zhou did not have any psychological burden.

Replicating fungi is the branch of the creation mushroom, which is the same as trees with leaves and branches, cutting off some excess branches, I guess no one will feel sad in their hearts and feel that they have hurt a living life.

Too lazy to wait for the earth civilization to reply, Yang Zhou himself walked along the path of the orbital robot and walked into the spaceship of the earth civilization.

From the appearance of this spaceship, Yang Zhou liked it very much.

Thinking about it, it's still a little lost, his Mars base doesn't have a spaceship yet, and the secret space base is not only building aerospace aircraft carriers, but also spaceships are being built one after another.

At the beginning, the Oasis later built a communication spaceship, and now this is a cargo spaceship, and it can also go back and forth.

Yang Zhou entered the spaceship and took a closer look, and was disappointed to find that the spaceship did not consider the air problem, originally Yang Zhou also wanted Lin to take this spaceship to the earth to investigate and see the environment in which human beings live.

In this way, Lin absorbed the memories of the earth and fed back to the world tree on Mars, so that the elves in the future would have a better understanding of the earth.

Now the earth is in Lynn's mind, just some abstract concept.

"Since Lin can't come to Earth, I can let Genesis Mushroom No. 2 use a diplomatic capacity to investigate Earth!" Yang Zhou suddenly thought.

Anyway, the replicating fungus was transported to Mars, and later the replicating fungus can produce replicating spores and replicate any plant.

Then the Genesis Mushroom No. 2 can return to Earth.

Since it is difficult to communicate between Mars and Earth, it is completely possible to let Genesis Mushroom 2 act as a liaison!

Why bother to create a girl clone?

Yang Zhou suddenly felt that what he had thought about before was too complicated, how simple the means of communication were, Earth and Mars both got a few creation mushrooms, and everything was solved.

I didn't expect it before, it was entirely because the replication fungi of the Martian civilization and the Earth civilization were separated, Yang Zhou didn't link the two, and he didn't want others to see these two as a racial force.

Now that Genesis Mushroom 2 has returned to Earth, the secret space base will serve as a messenger for 2.

Of course, the appearance of Genesis Mushroom 2 actually weakened his liaison status, but this is easy to solve.

When Genesis Mushroom 2 comes to Earth, it would be good for Yang Zhou to make friends with it, and he could also get some benefits from it, so that the Aerospace Secret Base would pay more attention to him.

So happily decided!

Yang Zhou communicated with himself and acted for the world to see.
