Chapter 167: The Door to the New World
Something in the Dream Forest?
Xu Yunshu was a little dazed by Professor Xue's request, so far, no one seemed to be able to bring out the things in the Dream Forest.
He was about to say this, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Professor Xue again.
"It's like I 'brought out' the venom that poisoned Wang Minxue?"
Professor Xue was very surprised by Xu Yunshu's cleverness, and he thought that he would need to explain a few words in order for Xu Yunshu to understand what he wanted to express.
"Yes, after research, we found that the venom that poisoned Wang Minxue's brain is not any organic compound known in the world, and its toxicity is significantly more deadly." Professor Xue replied, "After learning how you killed Wang Minxue with a 'single blow', I immediately had a guess about your ability - you can use some means to bring out the things in the Dream Forest, right?" ”
Xu Yunshu looked at Professor Xue, who was slightly excited, nodded, and then shook his head again, "To some extent, your judgment is correct, but in fact it is not. ”
Hearing such an answer, Professor Xue's excited expression fell silent visibly.
"I can 'bring' something no higher than five milliliters, but the consumption will be very large, and many times, it will not be worth the cost." Xu Yunshu's next explanation made things come to a different point.
"That's right! No matter how you do it, I just need you to 'bring' something! ”
Xu Yunshu looked at Professor Xue quietly, this respected authority would be extremely excited as long as he talked about research.
"What do you need me to 'bring' out? Will bringing this stuff out help the current situation? Xu Yunshu asked calmly.
Only one drop of venom was produced, and it almost took all of his physical strength, and now he was barely recovering.
After experiencing the lichen forest bird incident, Xu Yunshu's strength has increased greatly, and he can "bring" more things.
If Professor Xue asked for something that he was looking for was of no practical use, or if the research significance was greater than the practical significance, Xu Yunshu would definitely not agree.
But then, what the old professor said made Xu Yunshu gradually feel a little convinced, but at the same time, he felt that it was difficult to do.
"What I need you to bring out is the area around a corner of the Dream Forest - remember, it must be a sample of the surrounding soil." Professor Xue said solemnly.
He slowed down and began to explain his reasoning, "Xiao Xu, you have explored the sub-range of the underground insect pupae in the Dream Forest, right?" ”
This is something that can be found in the information, and Xu Yunshu has no need to deny it.
Professor Xue walked over to the table, turned on the computer, and called up the map of the Dream Forest.
This map is based on the oral accounts of the dream possessors, plus the Yan family's confiscations, because there has been no field investigation, there is a certain difference between nature and the real landform, but it is generally accurate.
On the map, a corner of the Dream Forest was circled entirely, and Xu Yunshu could see at a glance that this was the distribution range of insect pupae in the bottom of the forest.
"Do you think it's strange about the sub-range of this underground pupa sub-district?" Professor Xue asked, pointing to the map.
Xu Yunshu observed carefully, since he collected the data of the underground insect pupae and reported it, he began to run around, and now it is the first time he has seen the complete distribution map drawn by others.
This map of the distribution of pupa is completely based on the data he provided, and the entire corner of the forest is completely covered, and if there is anything unusual, he really can't see it for a moment.
But just as he was about to take his eyes off the map, he saw data on the range map about the density of pupae.
From the very central location to the outermost location, the density data is not much different, and the outermost layer, although sparse, is still extremely crowded.
He immediately understood Professor Xue's intention of wanting him to "bring out" the soil.
"Professor Xue, do you mean that the underground soil outside the range of the pupa may have something to restrain this creature?"
Professor Xue nodded, "Maybe, it should, I can't be sure, but it's worth a try." ”
Xu Yunshu nodded knowingly.
It's a process of trial and error.
If a hypothesis can explain the phenomenon currently observed, then experiments can be designed based on this hypothesis to further support the hypothesis and solve the problem.
According to the distribution map of the underground pupa collected by Xu Yunshu and the characteristics of this parasite, it is impossible for a place outside the corner of the Dream Forest to have no signs of the existence of pupae.
"When we talk about population density, we generally mean the number of individuals living in the same species at the same time within a certain spatial area." Professor Xue continued, "At first, I thought that the survival strategy of this strange insect was to concentrate on breaking the ground and reproducing, feeding all predators with the absolute number of the population, and mass-producing the next generation with the remaining population individuals, so that such a dense and uniform number of pupae could barely be explained. ”
"However, after that experiment, I was shocked that this was not the case, it was actually the parasites in their bodies that controlled the strange insects, and the strange insects modified by the parasites would even actively beg for death, so that the large-scale dense arrangement was not so important."
Xu Yunshu immediately understood what Professor Xue wanted to express.
If being devoured is the ultimate goal of controlling the parasite reproduction of the monster worms, then such a large-scale dense arrangement is not necessary.
The best strategy for their reproduction should be to spread them out as much as possible, so that they can control more predators and harvest more flesh energy during the breeding season.
This strategy does not require a subjective way of thinking, as long as the next generation is constantly reproduced, and over time, such a pattern will always appear.
However, the density of pupae, and the range of the branch that coincides with a corner of the Dream Forest, are contrary to the survival strategy that will inevitably appear.
"Xiao Xu, you are a student of biology, you should know one thing, there can never be an 'invincible' creature in nature, when a creature presents the characteristics that we have no solution for the time being, there must be corresponding restraint in the environment in which it lives." In the end, Professor Xue said in a serious tone.
“…… If I were a bargoon, I would definitely give the example of 'people'. Xu Yunshu was silent for a moment and casually said a joke.
"Ah, is that so? I need to add the subject, predicate, object, premise and end of the sentence all ......"
"Professor Xue, I'm just joking to liven up the atmosphere."
Professor Xue's example, from the perspective of the Dream Forest, does make sense, if this kind of parasite did not have a nemesis, they must have occupied the entire Dream Forest World a long time ago, and it is impossible to only operate in a corner of the Dream Forest.
If you can find a way to restrain yourself, maybe there will be a way to save Guo Xiaojie and the members of the organization.
It's just that bringing the soil out of this kind of thing should be possible for Professor Xue, who is not familiar with Xu Yunshu's ability, but Xu Yunshu himself doesn't think so.
It is true that he can imitate and create the organs of other living beings, but the soil contains many inorganic components, which is ...... Can it also be imitated?
Professor Xue's proposal opened the door to a new world for him.
