The team led by Ning Qingyun underwent routine safety inspections after returning to the safe zone. After passing the inspection, Ning Qingyun ordered Huo Ye to lead some team members back to the station to rest, and he went to the Pharmaceutical Research Institute to deliver the task with the introduction personnel of the Institute of Drug Research. .
When they arrived at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, the handover personnel asked them to transport the dried blood tree to the botanical garden. When Ning Qingyun learned about the plans of the researchers from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, his expression changed instantly.
He found several professors at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute and told them the truth about the process of obtaining the dried blood tree. He also told them that the insect-shaped reliefs attached to the roots of the dried blood tree were live worms when they were first unearthed, which was very strange. He advised them to Don't try to grow it. Is it safer to take it directly to the laboratory for extraction and research? .
"With such a complete root system, it is very likely that this tree can be planted. If it can be planted, wouldn't we be able to obtain this material continuously? Some of the substances extracted from the branches of this dead blood tree contain powerful Vitality can be used to make drugs that delay aging. Do you know how much demand there is for this kind of drug on the market?" A professor from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute looked at the withered blood tree with eager eyes, as if he was seeing a treasure.
"But professor, these insect-shaped reliefs look really scary. If an accident happens, everyone will be in danger!" A young researcher dissuaded.
"Why are you young people so timid than us old guys? What's the danger in a tree that we don't know if it can be planted alive? At worst, we all put on gas masks to prevent inhalation of unknown substances such as poisonous miasma. "After the old professor finished speaking, he sent a student to get a gas mask.
"After all, this plant is a new species. Its habits are unknown and it is very dangerous. It's a fluke that I can escape from the dead forest. If you must plant it, it is best to plant it in a closed glass vessel." Ning Qingyun saw the attitude of the professors at the Scientific Research Institute Determined, he made a suggestion.
"Where can I find glassware of the right size at this moment? I have seen countless mutant plants, and there are only a few attack methods for plants. Even if this kind of plant can survive, if it leaves its original living environment, its attack power will be reduced. Don’t worry too much about the big discount.” Another older professor said confidently.
"That's right, come on, plant this tree in the center of the botanical garden. Whether this tree can survive will not be known for a while. We will take turns observing and recording the situation here in the past few days, so as not to miss any changes. "After the old professor finished speaking, he received unanimous approval from other scientific researchers.
When Rong Xianxian, her two children, Shen Lishu and Mingyan followed Yan Zishu to the botanical garden in the backyard of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, the professors were instructing the security personnel of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute to plant the withered blood tree into the center of the botanical garden. In the big hole dug in the area.
Ning Qingyun looked worried in that direction. As soon as Xuanxuan saw Ning Qingyun, she cheered and ran towards him, "Dad!"
Ning Qingyun turned around and saw Rong Xianxian and the children, and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.
He hugged Xuanxuan who was running over and looked at Rong Xian with gentle eyes.
The big hole where the dead blood tree was planted has been filled up again, and several professors also directed the students to bring several buckets of soil nutrient solution and pour it into the soil under the tree.
"Qingyun, this is the most difficult task on the task list, and you actually won it. It's amazing!" Yan Zishu praised excitedly.
"Lucky, lucky." As Ning Qingyun spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Rong Xianxian.
Yan Zishu chuckled knowingly, "Okay, I won't disturb your family reunion. I'd better go over there and have a look."
After the roots of the dead blood tree were buried underground, the trunk was only about two meters high, and the tree looked much smaller. The scientific researchers on site were observing the situation of the dead blood tree seriously. Someone inserted a stick into the branch of the tree. A small probe, this probe can detect the humidity of trees. Someone tied a colorful rope with scales on the trunk, which can record the changes in the width of the trunk. Others are busy around the withered blood tree. I don’t know. what are you doing?
Yan Zishu looked at this dry tree and was a little disappointed. This tree was no different from an ordinary dead tree. He really couldn't imagine why the dead forest, which was mainly composed of dead blood trees, was so dangerous.
"Hey, professor, look, is there something wrong with our hygrometer? Or am I dazzled?" The young researcher who had just inserted the hygrometer into the branch and was about to leave shouted in surprise.
"What's wrong?" The professor came over and asked.
"Look, the number on the hygrometer is jumping." The researcher spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of scaring something.
The scale of the hygrometer generally does not change in a short period of time. Even if the tree can be successfully maintained, the fastest change in the hygrometer will be three days later.
The professor stared at the hygrometer with constantly beating numbers, looked at each other, and the two of them stepped back in unison.
"Professor, I, I feel a little weak in my legs." The researcher said with a trembling voice.
"Don't be afraid, there are so many people!" The professor said as he looked around, only to find that many people around him looked listless.
"Major Yan, come and help, something is wrong here." The old professor quickly asked Yan Zishu, who was looking over here, for help.
At this time, Yan Zishu also noticed that something was wrong with the people around the withered blood tree. What was even weirder was that the originally dry branches of the withered blood tree that had just been planted were gradually coated with a layer of luster and looked much smoother.
Yan Zishu directed the soldiers to carry those who were unable to escape around the withered blood tree to the rear. In the process, they found many small root systems on these people who were unable to escape, and these roots were attached to different locations on their bodies. After it was torn off, red blood flowed out.
At the same time, the originally lush and lush plants in the botanical garden slowly turned yellow, and this yellow color was rapidly spreading outward.
"Professor, the root system of this withered blood tree is expanding crazily. According to the current speed, it can cover the entire pharmaceutical research institute in up to five minutes." The researcher holding a metal instrument in his hand said calmly.
"Let's all work together to dig out this tree quickly." The professor called with a trembling voice.
"No, everyone had better put on protective clothing and check the gas masks first." Ning Qingyun said loudly.
"We don't have time. Let's dig up the tree first." Wherever the roots of the withered blood tree passed by, there was a withered yellow color, and the plants on the ground seemed to have been sucked out of all their vitality.
"Xianxian, it's dangerous here, your children should leave first!" Ning Qingyun turned to Rong Xianxian and said.
