Returning to the blacksmith shop, the observation log of the main body sample was quickly completed.
The details are too wordy, and most normal people can’t understand them, so they immediately jump to the conclusion: the stone girl is the ghost mother!
The abnormal spots marked on Stone Girl's skirt are actually amoeba culture organs, which means that the source of parasitoid infection in the amoeba in the lake area is Stone Girl.
If Wang Qi is not confident enough in the conclusion that "ghosts are amoeba colonies", he may be misled by the sample and think it is a symbiotic phenomenon.
Why put the cultured organ on the skirt?
How can she stay in that position? This is obviously not a species that evolved normally, but a single abnormal individual, and it must have appeared after the ghost ecology stabilized after the disaster.
As a non-professional, Wang Qi knows that his abilities are limited and he will not get to the bottom of every question. As long as he can restore the ecological evolution line, it is a complete success.
The time point was guessed based on the Stone Girl's skin sample.
Her skin sample was different from any creature observed before. The shape of the cells was a regular geometric shape, which seemed to be immortal. Wang Qi remembered that this regular shape was a very typical characteristic of diatoms. Therefore, color indicators and certain recognizable chemical powders were used to identify and confirm that the main component of the cell wall was silica.
In the previous journey, no macroscopic life of this texture was found, indicating that they can only exist relatively close to the node in the other world for the time being.
Then after getting this information, we can straighten out the ecological relationship.
The body of Stone Girl is responsible for iterative optimization of the amoeba and releases it into the water through root transport pipes.
Amoeba reproduce naturally in the water. Under certain hydrological conditions, the amoeba gather near the underwater tentacles of Stone Woman and are collected to form ghost embryos. Perhaps this part will directly complete the ghost.
The ghosts were released by the tentacles at the bottom of the lake. Before going ashore, they picked up some garbage, clothing, etc. from the bottom of the water, and gathered in Yabur City.
Some of them that are in a relatively stable state will travel to various places to spread host bodies, which may also be individual random behaviors.
The ghosts that spread out will melt the next year, using the process to re-evolve into another branch of amoeba, slime, or slime mold.
There is only one link left to complete the closed loop.
When Wang Qi No. 2 was killed last year, from the time three ghosts appeared to the appearance of the cosplay ghosts simulating Wang Qi, Li Xiang, Li Xiang’s father, and Elena’s family, there was not enough time for them to be collected in Yabul City. Clothing, travel tools, and moving to your doorstep.
So how can ghosts be created in an area a hundred kilometers away?
Outside the city of Jabur, there must be other ways for ghosts to be born, but they have not been observed.
There may be other changes in slime mold infected by parasitoids, and the transformation of animals into plants may be one of them.
At this point, another solution to regaining territory besides “forest fire” emerged.
Forest fires can clear away problems on the ground and shallower moist caves. The remaining possible hiding places are larger caves and water systems. Referring to the location of Stone Woman, the latter may be larger.
A two-pronged approach, if the intensity of the mysterious impact can be truly reduced, it can solve the uninhabitable situation in the periphery and expand the living space for desert residents.
The last supplementary plan is for Wang Qi to take matters into his own hands and add resistance to every deserter all year round. However, if the node ecology is not destroyed, he has to go back to the North to give birth to a child, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
The three specific operations require too much manpower, and the risk of crop failure caused by forest fires is also difficult to deal with. We still have to continue to get closer to the node in the different world and see if we can find a more source and easier solution.
There is also a situation that is less relevant to the main goal, the presence characteristics of ghosts.
Through this month's ice work of ghost employees, we can see that once a ghost successfully lands on the beach and has its own intelligence, it will no longer be subject to ecological checks and balances from superiors.
It is known that the will behind the parasite can temporarily take over organisms infected with the parasite, but it does not try to change or destroy the actions of the ghost employees.
From this point of view, the entire node ecological chain is not a planned conspiracy, and the will behind it does not care about the temporary collapse of a certain link.
The natural ecological evolution phenomenon with the nucleoid as the core, if not interfered with, may eventually form a vibrant new world, but the protagonist will no longer be human.
Observed from a "world" perspective, extinction leads to the elimination of organisms and the birth of new protagonist populations, which is the mainstream of history. Human beings are just a group of people who popped up at a certain point in time after several mass extinctions, with intelligence and endurance as their advantages. of top creatures.
But the butt determines the head, and Wang Qi, who considers himself a human race, is not willing to see the world line advance in this direction.
At this point, the ecological survey of the area is basically complete, and the rest of the winter can be a little easier.
Winter in high latitudes is a slow-paced season, even in a ghost town.
Twenty-one people plus Bai Xiaojiao eat about 60 kilograms of food every day, which is a bit larger than ordinary people. However, this amount of food is not stressful for a team of almost all superhumans.
There are only a few things to think about in the second half of winter.
Li Xiang’s education.
Because Wang Qi has more free time, a new supplementary class was opened this time.
Wang Qi and Elena took turns as lecturers. The students included Li Xiang, Anna, Timovich, Jin Scorpion, Snow Lion, and Zoya. In addition, they also recruited several young ghosts to collect tuition fees to support their families.
No one knows why ghost children want to learn. Maybe some memories can be retained until the next reorganization?
Anyway, it was the ghost guest who suddenly suggested it when he heard the reading upstairs. A duck was also chasing, and a group of ducks were all right. Since they were willing to give out fish and meat, they accepted it by the way.
Among the dozen or so students, Anna and Snow Lion have the best foundation. Regardless of life experience, they only look at mastering basic knowledge. Anna is probably at the eighth to ninth grade level, and Snow Lion is one grade higher. Timovich's vocabulary mastery is worse than Anna's, but perhaps because of his profession as a blacksmith, his math skills are better, comparable to Snow Lion's.
Jin Scorpion and Zoya were the worst, comparable to a young ghost. They were illiterate and could barely calculate three-digit addition and subtraction, and multiplication within ten.
Li Xiang has only studied for one year, but she follows Wang Qi 24 hours a day. In addition to bilingualism and painting, her mathematics is also close to the fourth grade level.
Mathematics is the mother of all natural subjects and an excellent logic training tool that all students must learn.
Dividing them into two classes based on academic ability can also save Snow Lion's time. After all, Snow Lion still has to do blacksmith work, and Wang Qi has no intention of letting him escape the labor camp just to go to class.
Anna and Xue Shi also need to take bilingual classes with Li Xiang. Xue Shi already knows Qin Yu and wants to strengthen it, but Anna has requested it.
No one is a fool. After working together for a year, everyone has discovered that Wang Qi likes to communicate in Qin language. Regardless of whether there is a chance to expand the team in the future, knowing Qin language can obviously shorten the distance.
Jin Scorpion is also interested in joining the bilingual class, but she doesn't even know the local vocabulary, so in terms of time schedule, she can only follow Anna in the second bilingual class, which is taught by Li Xianglai!
There are big problems with Li Xiang's character and upbringing environment, especially the world she sees in her eyes is extremely abnormal. Following Wang Qi, she has to face constant fighting and killing situations. Letting her be a little teacher may be beneficial to her future growth.
In order to prevent Li Xiang from losing her temper and hitting others, and others being unable to defeat her, Wang Qi had to accompany her throughout the whole process.
The local language courses are less difficult, and Elena has accumulated a lot of experience in teaching children herself. Except for Snow Lion, Anna and Li Xiang, everyone else has to participate.
