Xu Jingsi said: "What method does a person usually use to transmit news from one city to another?"
Different people use different communication methods, some use text messages, some use paper letters, and some use carrier pigeons to deliver messages from one city to another.
Usually it is in the form of SMS and WeChat. If it is a paper letter, it will be more serious, but it will also be more emotional. If you are using homing pigeons, it is purely for fun.
Xu Jingsi said: "Have you ever thought about it? Communication does not necessarily use electronic and network methods. The ecosystem will also transmit information."
Information flows throughout the ecosystem. The ecosphere includes various biological and environmental factors, which maintain ecological balance and interaction through information exchange. Information can be transmitted through sound, vision, chemical signals, etc. For example, animals can use sound or chemical signals to communicate warnings, courtship, or search for food. Plants can also attract beneficial insects or ward off pests by releasing chemicals. Information can also be passed through the food chain, for example, a predator can obtain information about the location of its prey through foraging behavior. The flow of information plays an important role in ecosystems, helping organisms adapt to the environment, find resources, and avoid dangers.
Plants can communicate with each other through their roots, chemicals and other means. This phenomenon is called plant-to-plant information transfer or plant-to-plant communication. Plants can communicate with surrounding plants by releasing chemicals, such as hormones and volatile organic compounds, through their roots. These chemicals can transmit alarm signals. For example, when under attack or invaded by pathogens, plants can release specific chemicals to alert surrounding plants. These signals can help other plants respond appropriately, such as boosting their own defense mechanisms. Plants can also transmit information through physical contact between roots, such as nutrients and water through the root network. The transfer of information between plants is crucial for their growth and survival, allowing them to cooperate and protect each other.
In Sen City, the waters to the east were polluted, and the toxins later moved to the west, producing toxin spores.
Pollutants from Sencheng may also flow to Shuicheng. The seeds of plants in Ice City can be brought to Mine City. The materials from Shacheng may be brought to Qiongcheng. Matter moves, and information flows with it.
Deru said: "You are so smart, only you can think of this."
Xu Jingsi said: "Of course, don't be too envious of me."
Dairu said: "Did you send me a message when I went to Sencheng some time ago?"
Xu Jingsi said: "It's gone."
Deru said: "What did you use to send it? Is it a text message or an email?"
Xu Jingsi said: "I use carrier pigeons, so the speed is a little slower."
Dairu said: "How slow can it be? It's been a week and I'm back."
Xu Jingsi said: "Maybe the carrier pigeons just flew over. The carrier pigeons fly slowly and are not as fast as the trains."
He was just joking.
Deru said: "You have to know that you will always be special in my heart."
Xu Jingsi said: "You also need to know that you are my most solid backing. Your support and encouragement make me believe in myself. When I was in the most difficult time, you gave me happiness and confidence."
Here they met the Desolate One, the Interceptor. Their appearance made him know that he had to do something seriously, but he always encountered many obstacles and even dangers.
"I think our lives will settle down," Deru said.
Xu Jingsi said: "These will pass, and they will pass soon. As long as you are here, I will be very satisfied."
Xu Jingsi said: "I need to travel far away."
Deru said: "How long will you be out?"
Xu Jingsi said: "A period of time. A month, or a few months."
Dai Ru said: "Then contact us by mobile phone. Don't use carrier pigeons."
At the Institute of Biology.
Xu Jingsi said to Ye Chizhao: "Director Ye, I think some things have happened recently, and I should go to various places to investigate."
Ye Chizhao said: "I also want to tell you about this matter. Where do you think we should start the investigation?"
Xu Jingsi said: "I heard that some weird things happened in various cities, so let's start investigating from these places. For example, the construction of irrigation in Sencheng, several formations in Shuicheng, and strange beasts in the underground city."
Ye Chizhao said: "What do you think the problem is?"
Xu Jingsi said: "Something appeared, maybe an extraterrestrial meteorite or something protruding from the ground due to changes in the earth's crust."
Ye Chizhao said: "The other bandits are also making these things."
Xu Jingsi said: "I don't know what they are doing."
Ye Chizhao said: "China is a vast land with abundant resources. Do you have any clues? What advantages do you have?"
Xu Jingsi said: "Plants also communicate with each other through pheromones. They took away the water-exploring plants, and the water-exploring plants can also leave messages to each other."
It can extend its rhizomes hundreds of meters underground. Spores can also fly great distances, and the association of spores can change the appearance of leaves and flowers.
If there is this kind of plant in the west, there will be more leaves in the west; if there is this kind of plant in the east, there will be more leaves in the east. The closer the distance, the fewer the flowers. The further the distance, the more flowers there are.
He just started cultivating this plant, just to use it to find water sources, but he didn't expect that it would be used to explore for mineral deposits.
Ye Chizhao said: "I've heard of Sencheng Jianguan, and I've seen it at this address. I'll give you the address. You know the environment in Shacheng. Do you know anyone in Shuicheng?"
Xu Jingsi said: "I know Zhan Guyue. I once asked him for help with a comparative calculation of plant DNA. The amount of information contained in DNA is very large, and a special computer was needed. It took several days to calculate the result."
Ye Chizhao said: "There is also Shengshi City."
Xu Jingsi said: "I know Zheng Yonghan and Fu Shuo. They came to Shacheng last time."
Ye Chizhao said: "That's good. The mountains are high and the road is far away this time. You have to be careful. If you encounter that group of robbers, don't fight hard. Look for some clues."
Xu Jingsi said, "Okay, I'll ask you if you have any questions."
