Chapter Twenty-Five: Qingqi Brain Hole, Major Progress
Soft rice and hard food?
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted.
It turned out that the eldest sister funded it, and the big guy had the research funds.
It's a funny statement.
Everyone suddenly wanted to laugh, but they endured it, and they didn't dare to laugh out loud.
After all, it's a big guy, so ridiculous, it's not good, right?
Barker's head shrunk.
It's over, it's over, he stabbed Lou Zi again.
The big guy's passionate and inspirational speech, after the last reversal, is not enthusiastic at all, let alone inspirational.
The effect is seriously inconsistent with the original intention of the big guy.
"Laugh if you want."
Link saw that everyone was struggling to hold back their laughter, and took the initiative to say that he was very generous.
The reason why he suddenly said something that was extremely inconsistent with the character was to make everyone laugh.
After all, the tunnel is underground, and although there are abandoned magic stones as a light source, it is not dark.
However, people will be involuntarily affected by the cramped and low environment, and they are easy to be depressed and easily amplify negative emotions.
Link saw that the cheering speech didn't have any effect, so he turned to try to be funny.
I hope that in this way, the mood of the players will be soothed.
Sure enough, this time there was good feedback.
Seeing that Link really didn't care, everyone didn't forcibly hold back, and they all chuckled.
The previously gloomy atmosphere was swept away.
The mood of the crowd was much lighter.
Jasmine couldn't help but glance at Link, she didn't really like it.
After waiting for a while, when everyone's mood stabilized, Jasmine explained:
"What's the soft way to eat? I invested 5 magic stones, he only used 2.5, and I finally recovered 30 magic stones, this return on investment is very high, right? And that's not all. ”
As she spoke, Jasmine met everyone's curious eyes and continued: "His later research has brought me with me, whether it is the signature of the 'paper' or the rights and interests of the 'patent', I have my share. ”
Jasmine raised her chin slightly, and said in a proud tone: "You say, is my investment worth it?" ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and they didn't know how to express their feelings for a while.
Does this need to be asked?
It's definitely worth it.
It's super costly.
The feelings of the five benevolent brothers are more complicated than the three of them.
Think about how much effort they made to get on Link's thick legs.
The eldest sister has a good head, she doesn't have to pay anything, and she has her share in all good things.
The difference between people is really too great.
Woo woo woo~
At least three of the five brothers seemed to hear their own cries.
Those were all tears.
The three of them understood why Link was willing to take Jasmine with him for everything.
It turns out that there is such a relationship.
Not......
It can't be said that their ideas are wrong, it can only be said that they are too one-sided.
After such a commotion, everyone's attention has been completely diverted, and they are no longer entangled in the frustration of research and the difficulty of experiments.
When I was drinking, eating, and resting, I began to talk and laugh.
Dalton, who had been in hiding for a day, took the opportunity to find Link.
He is responsible for monitoring the surroundings in real time, and the work is very important and boring.
"Is there a situation?"
As soon as he saw Dalton coming, Link immediately asked him to sit next to him, handed over a glass of water, and asked with concern.
"Hmm."
Dalton nodded, took the water cup, and first drank a sip of the sweet and clean water made and handed by the big guy himself, before he unfolded and said:
"Lanny. Taylor appeared a few more times.
At first, we wanted to replicate our method of crossing the river, but the length of the rope was not enough, and there was no tool to send the rope over.
Later, she tried to glide over, but was driven back by the fierce beasts in the water. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Dalton mentions the beast in the water, and Link suddenly remembers something strange.
Or, to put it more appropriately, a feature of this side of the world.
Herbivorous animals are relatively normal in size, both in comparison to Link's previous life and in the wizarding world.
Carnivores are larger in size one by one.
I just entered this world and met Iris. In Clark's time, so were the wolves-like but much taller beasts; (See Chapter IV of this volume)
So are the beasts that are avoided along the way;
Rescue Dalton, Andrea. Norman, Lutz. Berry, Bamir. Valvez, the giant beast resembling a Tyrannosaurus rex that was drawn away;
Even the fierce beasts in the water in the river that look like crocodiles but have more than doubled in size.
This phenomenon is absolutely not normal!
Leave Lanny alone for now. Taylor, there's something more important right now.
"Ask everyone a question."
Link immediately got up, clapped his hands to attract attention, and then said in a loud voice, "What are the characteristics of the size of the herbivores and the carnivores in this world?" ”
The sudden question really asked a circle of people.
Especially Jasmine, who has never been out of the sandbar in the middle of the river.
After a while, Lynn, who had the most clear thoughts, was the first to react.
He stood up in shock and asked in surprise, "Big man, do you think that the size of carnivores is too large and seems abnormal?" ”
This is a point that most people tend to ignore.
After all, each world is different from each other.
Animals are larger, may be well-fed and nutritious, or they may be born as such.
This contrast is difficult to detect without subdividing the animals into separate studies of herbivores and carnivores.
It's like piercing a layer of window paper.
The rest of the people also understood what Link was trying to convey.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Why is this happening?"
"There must be something wrong with this, and it's worth digging into."
"Figuring out why might be extremely helpful for our plans."
"So how do you go about it? Go hunt a giant beast or two and come back, dissect, slice? ”
"It's not impossible, it's just a little troublesome."
"Aren't there big and fierce fish in the river? Catch a few fish and study them first. ”
Mead. Valente did not participate in the discussion, but frowned and pondered until the discussion became quieter.
He slowly stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Big man, I have a guess, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"It should be spoken, of course it should be spoken."
Link held out his hand and motioned for Meade. Valente spoke boldly, and at the same time further stated,
"I emphasize that we are a team, and when we have internal discussions and brainstorming, anyone, any idea, any point of view, can speak up. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, don't be afraid to make mistakes. ”
"Thank you, big guy."
Mead raised his thick hand and scratched the back of his head, smiled shyly, and then said his guess,
"I've been wondering, if the contents of the secret passage frescoes are true, then where have the bodies of the dead gods gone? As soon as I heard the big guy's question, I couldn't help but make a guess whether it would be spilled into the whole world and eaten by carnivores. ”
Hiss......
The sound of inhalation sounded.
This guess is very bold and the brain hole is very strange.
But it has to be said that there is also a possibility of establishment, and it is extremely large.
As we all know, the full name of the college is Revosus College of Biology and Medicine.
How to cultivate and utilize organisms better, more comprehensively and more efficiently is one of the specialties of the college.
Even if the first year has not yet touched on the relevant subjects, I have heard of it.
For example, the corpse of the new blood of the Storm Sea who died in the black area of the West City will be recycled by the academy, and the lungs will be dissected, dismembered and cut to make up for the loss and recover the investment.
Therefore, everyone present quickly accepted and accepted Mead's speculation.
Isn't it very simple for the corpses of higher beings to be eaten by carnivores and promote their body growth?
Jasmine sighed: "No wonder I have no way to take those fierce beasts in the water, they are all rough and thick-skinned, except for self-detonating fire and thunder, all attacking witchcraft cannot break the defense." It turned out that I ate something good! ”
This sentence immediately provoked Dalton's sad past.
He worked with Andrea, Lutz. Berry, Bamir. Valvez, precisely because he couldn't break through the defense of the six giant beasts, was crushed and fled in a panic, and was finally blocked in the valley.
There is no way to heaven and no door to the earth.
If it weren't for Link's rescue, he would have been eliminated.
Link couldn't help but think back to the time when he and Iris teamed up to lure away the six-headed beast.
Iris threw so many self-detonating fire thunderbolts of various models, but she didn't even break the skin of the giant beast.
That level of firepower, almost as much as Tracey. The firepower that Rukia used to bombard the col was not much different.
Even if Link wears the "Defender 3202" suit, and constantly uses the Water Shield Technique to "Double Cast", "Continuous Cast", and "Parallel Cast", he can't resist it.
If you don't "die" on the spot, you will definitely be seriously injured.
By all indications, Link is also inclined to endorse Mead. Valente's guess.
So, here comes the problem again.
Link pressed his hands down slightly, signaling for everyone to stop whispering.
After calming down, Link asked, "Assuming Meade's guess is true, the reason why carnivores are generally so large is that they ate the corpses of the dead gods of this world.
So, is there any connection between this phenomenon, this reason, and the fact that this world is on the verge of collapse?
Does it help or inspire us to reconstruct a sustainable ecological recycling system? ”
These two questions were raised, which triggered a climax of whispered discussion among everyone.
Lynn has a lot of thoughts and quick brains, and once again took the lead in responding: "Big man, I think we can put aside the connection with the world on the verge of collapse for the time being, and focus on helping and inspiring us." ”
"Hmm. OK. ”
Link had other ideas in mind, but he didn't refute Lynn's statement.
Acknowledging, Lynn continued: "Carnivores are enormous, and their daily consumption naturally increases, and the quantity and quality of food they need to eat increases.
This breaks the original ecological cycle.
There is certainly a period of sharp decline in the number of herbivores.
The surviving herbivores were forced to evolve in order to survive longer.
This also requires energy and nutrients, so you need to eat more grass.
The vicious circle of ecology has deepened.
Also, since the reason why carnivores are so large is because they eat the corpses of the gods of this world, what about plants?
Didn't the plant absorb flesh?
I think there should be.
At least partially. ”
After hearing this, Ezio immediately asked in a muffled voice, "So, how do we explain that the body size of herbivores has not changed drastically?" ”
Lynn replied calmly:
"Plants that have absorbed the flesh and blood of the gods have evolved, such as those that were not thorny give birth to thorns, those that grow short become taller, those who are not aggressive are aggressive, and so on.
There are so many changes that those herbivores can't get their mouths off.
This is also the nature of plants to survive.
Herbivores lack high-quality food sources and evolve much slower than carnivores and plants that directly absorb the flesh and blood of the gods. ”
"You have a point."
Ezio had a tough personality and was convinced, and immediately admitted it.
Others also felt that Lynn's statement had a certain logic.
Buck, who was chatty but never interjected, then stood up to speak:
"I think we can try to reimagine the ecosystem by doing both at the same time.
One is to breed herbivores, so that they have the ability to eat most plants, especially plants that have absorbed the flesh and blood of the gods and become special;
It also gives them a certain ability to escape from predators.
The second is to cultivate basic, unchanged plants, I remember that the big guy had a 'paper' mentioning a method of cross-breeding, which may be useful.
The quality of the herbivores' food was changed from the bottom, allowing them to evolve at a rate that caught up with carnivores.
In this way, we can return to a balanced ecological cycle. ”
Whether it is feasible or not is another way to say, it needs to be re-verified, at least there is something to say.
Bang Bang ......
Everyone else, whether it's Link or Link, applauded consciously and praised Buck, who was rarely brilliant in his business.
Buck grinned, slightly smug, and sat back.
Seeing that everyone had no other ideas or opinions to express, Link began to summarize and arrange the work.
"Everyone's thoughts, opinions, and guesses, I synthesized them.
Then, based on the comprehensive conclusions, the following arrangements are made.
If there are omissions or mistakes, please feel free to raise them and we will correct them together.
First, speed up the analysis and detection of existing water samples, soil, and biological specimens, find out the materials that have undergone special changes, analyze the reasons for the changes, and verify Mead's guess.
If it was the corpses of the gods that caused the enormity of the carnivores, it would not have been possible for the water, soil, plant specimens, and animal specimens to be without the slightest trace.
This is important.
Then, various methods were used to cultivate common plants, with the aim of satisfying the feeding needs of most herbivores and providing sufficient energy and nutrients.
Finally, the ecosystem is reconstructed from three different directions.
One is based on the improvement of plant 'genes', the second is based on the improvement of herbivore 'genes', and the third is based on devastating blows to carnivores. ”
As he spoke, Link looked at Jasmine: "Tomorrow I will continue to work you and build another large laboratory." ”
"No problem."
Jasmine readily agreed.
"Buck, Lynn, tomorrow you take Mead and Terry, catch two big fish, and come back, and die for life."
"Okay, big guy."
"Ezio, Dejay, you take Betty to continue today's experiment, be patient, take your time, we have plenty of time."
"Yes, big man. We will pay attention to adjust our mentality in time. ”
"Dalton, continue to be in charge of scouting, keeping in touch with Lanny. Taylor's concern and vigilance. If she reappears by the river, let me know immediately. ”
"Guaranteed to get the job done."
Jasmine noticed that Link had spoken around and left himself out, so she asked out loud, "What about you?" Why are you going tomorrow? ”
Link replied, "I'm going to go out, find someone, do something?" ”
"Going to the madwoman?"
Jasmine's face became slightly unnatural, and her teeth bit her lower lip slightly.
Link said calmly: "I am indeed going to find Iris, and some things have to be cooperated with the people of the North District to better advance." ”
"Does it matter? Must look for it? ”
Jasmine couldn't help but ask again.
"Then you go, stay safe."
As soon as she said that, she regretted it a little, and said:
"Remember to come back early."
