Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

[Earth]

Lv Yongchang looked at the holographic image with a serious face.

"This giant tree is really intelligent."

He showed a bit of interest in his eyes: "I wonder if we can communicate with it?"

Lv Yongchang's words immediately aroused Mao Zhengzhi's interest.

"Communication?"

"Hey! Don't say it! Don't say it!"

Mao Zhengzhi excitedly muttered: "If our speculation is correct, communication is completely feasible!"

"As long as we decipher their language system and signal transmission method!"

Lv Yongchang shrugged, raised his hand and pointed to the two huge craters filled with "broken leaves and roots" in the holographic projection, and said helplessly: "What do you think..."

"How should we do the analysis work now?"

Mao Zhengzhi's excited expression suddenly froze.

"This..."

His lips trembled slightly, and he knocked on the experimental table beside him in annoyance, complaining in a low voice: "This, these barbarians!"

"For no reason, they even used hydrogen bombs!"

"Now it's good, this giant tree is probably guarding against us like a thief!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Seeing Mao Zhengzhi's reaction, Lu Yongchang suddenly smiled, "In the eyes of the giant tree, we are real invaders."

"Don't even mention research, I'm afraid it will be difficult to land in the future."

Mao Zhengzhi's mouth twitched slightly.

This is an unprecedented plant civilization!

Seeing the research opportunity wasted, his heart was as painful as being cut by a knife!

"If only I could sneak a tree up..."

Mao Zhengzhi muttered to himself.

"What are you kidding?" Lv Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi beside him with horror, "If it was a dead thing, there would be no problem."

"But it's alive! You've seen the speed and strength of the tree roots."

"The outer armor made of star gold-carbon yne composite material can be hit with a pit!"

"How about... you go down and give it an injection of anesthesia?" Lv Yongchang said half-jokingly.

Mao Zhengzhi didn't say anything, just stared at the holographic projection in front of him.

It seemed that he was really considering Lv Yongchang's proposal in detail.

Lv Yongchang looked in the direction of Mao Zhengzhi's eyes.

That was the scene in the biological laboratory.

A number of special scientific research robots were conducting detailed research on various giant tree tissue samples.

"Got it..."

"There is a way!"

Mao Zhengzhi's murmur came from the side.

At the same time, Lv Yongchang seemed to have figured out something, and a smile of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Do you want to use these tissues to cultivate a young giant tree again?" He asked Mao Zhengzhi directly.

Mao Zhengzhi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Professor, you also thought of this method!"

"Not bad." He cast his expectant eyes on the picture coming from the biological laboratory, "Fortunately, according to the test report, these giant trees are cell-like structures."

"Although they are very different from plants on Earth, we still found suspected genetic material in these basic structures similar to cells."

"The scientific research robot found this kind of genetic material in every tissue sample."

"And the possession of genetic material means that these cell-like structures may have omnipotence."

The so-called cellular omnipotence means that differentiated cells still have the potential to develop into complete life forms.

Whether it is animals or plants, as long as they are multicellular organisms, their cells have all the genes for individual development.

This means that as long as conditions permit, a cell can develop into a complete individual.

Of course, in animal cells, because the degree of differentiation is too high, the differentiation potential of cells is getting narrower and narrower, and the conditions for achieving omnipotence are becoming more and more stringent.

As for plants, at least, for plants on Earth, even highly differentiated plant cells have the ability to develop into complete plants!

The so-called rebirth by dripping blood is just like this!

And since this giant tree has a cell-like structure and genetic material, perhaps it also has omnipotence?

"Start the experiment immediately!"

Thinking of this, Lv Yongchang said excitedly: "First, stimulate the sample with radiation of different intensity gradients."

"If it can really differentiate and grow again..."

"This may be our only chance to spy on this wonderful creature!"

"Not enough." Mao Zhengzhi interrupted Lv Yongchang's words, "Radiation intensity is indeed a crucial factor."

"But moisture, temperature..."

"These variables must be taken into account."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently rubbed his temple: "Professor, don't rush to experiment, I will first determine a detailed experimental plan."

...

After the order was issued, the scientific research robot meticulously began the experiment according to the stimulation plan discussed by a group of academicians.

Because of the lack of understanding of this strange life, the so-called stimulation plan is actually a matter of trial and error.

At least, before the experiment began, it was unknown what effect each stimulation plan would have on the tissues of these giant trees.

The power of the scientific research robot was fully revealed at this moment.

Unlike humans.

Under Zero's control, it can work day and night and maintain the highest working intensity for a long time!

That’s why the cultivation experiment progressed so fast.

Unlike previous experiments, this time, the Academy of Sciences…or the human race’s luck seemed to be getting better.

Not long after the experiment started, a group of samples brought good news.

But it brought greater doubts to Lv Yongchang and others.

“The variable of water will have an impact, which is foreseeable.” Mao Zhengzhi frowned and shook his head repeatedly, “But how could there be so little water?”

In the experimental data in the holographic projection, the groups of samples with the least water showed some changes.

The magical thing is that the less water, the more obvious the changes in the tissue samples!

"Maybe..."

Lv Yongchang looked at the experimental data in front of him and said thoughtfully: "This planet didn't have much water resources at the beginning?"

"Although this situation is rare, it is possible."

"Think about it, where does the water resources on Dawn come from?"

Mao Zhengzhi suddenly realized: "According to you, the abundant water resources on the Lost Star are also foreign, and they just suppress the growth environment of these giant trees?"

Lv Yongchang turned his head to look at the model of the Lost Star and nodded thoughtfully.

"The reason why those giant insects gather near the water may be because of this reason..."

ps: Thanks to the great certification of the boss I fell asleep!
