The doctor placed the small potted tree on the table, and immediately the entire flowerpot became transparent, and even the soil inside became transparent. Through the soil in the flower pot, you can see the root system of the small tree constantly swimming in the soil, so flexible that it doesn't look like a plant at all.
The doctor tapped the wall of the basin, and a piece of soil inside shrank and became tight, turning into a piece of meat. All the roots seemed to smell the smell, and they stretched out at the same time and entangled the meat. The thin roots are as sharp as a knife, cutting the meat into pieces and then absorbing it. The whole process takes less than 1 minute. The small tree above immediately sprouted branches and grew a little.
The doctor put the potted plant aside and said, "The root system of this thing has unlimited growth potential. The roots of such a small tree can go hundreds of meters underground. I'm afraid the roots of the totem that Jun Gui saw last time have already penetrated It’s more than a hundred kilometers underground, and maybe even deeper.”
"Why go so deep?" McMillan asked.
McMillan is not an ordinary person, and this is not an ordinary problem. How deep a plant's root system goes depends on the environment and growing needs. Why does the Flesh Totem need a root system length that is much longer than normal? If life is viewed as a system, then the part used by the Flesh Totem to collect resources accounts for more than 99% of the entire system, while the processing and digestion part does not even account for 1%. Even if it absorbs enough resources, it cannot digest them. .
The doctor said: "Good question! This is also the question that confused me at first, and there is no convincing answer yet. For now, I only have one guess, and that is that its root system is not only used to collect resources, but It can also be used to attack to destroy all living matter encountered. There will be no living matter within the reach of its root system."
The doctor's speculation made Chu Jungui feel uneasy. The more he came into contact with the depths of this world, the more crazy and twisted he felt.
Finally, the doctor brought out a sealed box. After opening it, a transparent isolation layer was revealed. Inside, a cactus branch was lying quietly. It looked a little sluggish, and there were some burn marks on one end.
The doctor did not open the transparent box cover and said: "Although most people are strong enough to see this cactus, most people are not everyone, so they will not open it. This cactus is the real essence. , is the condensation of the entire real dream.”
Chu Jungui looked at the cactus and felt it looked very familiar. After another look, he was sure it was the one he had used. But at that time, Chu Jungui was only interested in its invisible power to kill people. How could he have the leisure and ability to study its biological significance? According to the doctor, can this thing still represent the essence of the entire real dream? But think about it, the radiation intensity of this thing even exceeds that of purified nuclear fuel. It is not easy to see such a weird thing in the natural environment.
"It is quiet, but deadly; it looks ordinary, but has incredible abilities; life expands its scope and deepens its meaning..." The doctor seemed to have become a poet, holding the half-dried cactus and chanting. Endless.
However, every word the doctor said was not empty talk. In the subsequent explanation, Chu Jungui realized that he had really underestimated the cactus.
It has the terrifying ability to convert any nutrients into a strong radiation source, and the radiation intensity is far from reaching the limit. In other words, its simplest application is nuclear fuel that can grow on its own on a large scale. If humans could have had this thing in the early years, there would have been no other energy sources. At a deep level, its ability to transform matter is close to turning stone into gold, directly transforming it at the atomic level. Even under the special circumstances of a real dream, this is an extremely terrifying ability. Compared with it, the abilities of the three bosses including the Doctor are superior. Chu Jungui has its own advantages. Overall, Chu Jungui has the greater advantage. But being better than a cactus doesn't seem to be something to brag about.
This cactus has characteristics that are completely different from other plants, both inside and out. In the words of the doctor, it has reached a higher level in the life hierarchy. Compared with other lives, it is the difference between humans and monkeys. It's a pity that there is only such a sample, and it is obviously in its infancy. The doctor speculates that it will undergo one or two life-form changes, but unfortunately none of them can be seen now. Because some guy with no scientific literacy casually cut its branches and did not cultivate them properly since then, and now it has lost its activity.
After an unnamed output, the doctor felt a little better. He collected the cactus branches and said, "We now have an understanding of the biological system of real dreams. Now let's discuss the ape monster again, and then we'll be there. It’s about eating. Believe me, this discussion will definitely benefit you a lot and rekindle your passion for science.”
Kun rolled his eyes disapprovingly. He has never had the slightest enthusiasm for science and research. If it weren't for the fact that learning the theories of a Ph.D. can immediately improve his strength, he would never have studied formulas honestly, and he had only made up for it since his first year in college.
Moreover, the doctor is from the dynasty. As an extreme federalist, Kun will look down on everything in the dynasty, including Chu Jungui. So he usually doesn't listen to what the doctor says.
The doctor finally returned to the pot and said: "The ingredients in this pot are quite precious, and it is not easy to collect. We already know that this world is very unfriendly to carbon-based organisms, and it is difficult to find food under normal circumstances. And here originally Those beasts were all wiped out by the ape monsters. We couldn't even find insects on this plateau. So I spent a lot of effort to collect this little bit. Yes, it came from the ape monsters, a total of 1,300 ape monsters. , the total contribution is such a pot.”
The doctor stretched out his hand and grasped it, and a ball of soup the size of a tennis ball floated up. Then a surge of energy was generated out of thin air and merged into it. The ball expanded rapidly and gradually became transparent, and the eye that was still blinking gradually disappeared. , blend into it. In the blink of an eye, a ball of crystal clear jelly appeared in the doctor's hand, and the fluctuations in energy made everyone very happy.
Except for Austin and Chu Jungui, everyone else has eaten this stuff in the past few days. Now after seeing the manufacturing process, Mi'er looked pale, Lin Xi remained calm, and the little princess looked a little pale, but bit her lower lip and said nothing.
Suddenly he heard a "wow" sound and Kun vomited all over the floor.
Austin's eyebrows rose, two blue and white flames were sprayed out from his nose, and then he retracted them. It can make him behave strangely, which shows that he is already angry to a certain extent.
Dr. Yun Danfeng gently waved his hand, picked up everything Kun spit out, and merged it with the jelly ball. After washing it with energy, it turned into a crystal clear jelly with no trace of impurities. ball.
The doctor stretched out his finger and flicked it, and the rubber ball flew in front of Kun. He said with a smile: "Food is precious and cannot be wasted. I have refurbished this energy ball and made it for you as dinner."
Where is Kun willing to take it?
But before he could refuse, Austin said coldly: "The doctor is right. I don't think we need to wait until night, just eat it now!"
