If human beings encounter this situation, there is no doubt that there are only a few things they can do.

The first is to eliminate all the culprits - World Tree.

A planet is indeed huge, but considering the level of human science and technology, it is just a little extra effort. It is not particularly difficult to completely exterminate a creature.

But this giant plant, as an important part of the ecological chain, can even be said to exist like a pillar. If it is completely wiped out, it will undoubtedly directly lead to mass extinction, and countless animals and insects will starve to death.

In this way, the end result seems to be the same. Even because of human intervention, mass extinction occurred ahead of schedule.

Ichiro Yamamoto explained: "If this kind of thing happened on the earth, even if there is a mass extinction, as long as human beings can survive, this plan can be implemented. But Riley, Riley is equal to other life , we don't have to destroy most of the lives to save the Rileys."

Many of the listeners below nodded their heads, which indeed makes sense.

"Unless human beings can create a plant that can replace the 'World Tree', and at the same time destroy a World Tree, and then plant a substitute, so as to ensure the ecological balance. However, this project, the amount of work Undoubtedly much bigger."

"Besides, the content involved in creating a new plant is quite complicated, not to say that it can be created. This plant has to replace the functions of the world tree in all aspects, including providing a large amount of food, including habitats for species, etc. .”

The second method is to cultivate microorganisms that can decompose the "tree heart" and solve the problem fundamentally.

The molecular formula of this "tree heart" is a bit like human plastic. It is not impossible to use genetic engineering to cultivate corresponding decomposers.

But another problem, the large-scale introduction of a modified microorganism, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on native organisms.

Let’s not talk about whether these microorganisms will mutate, whether they will cause the pathogenicity and extinction of native organisms...

"If these artificially modified life forms reproduce in large numbers in the new environment and decompose the accumulated "tree core", then the oxygen in the atmosphere will be consumed in large quantities, the concentration of carbon dioxide will increase significantly, and the entire ecological environment will still be destroyed. destroy."

"For such a long time, there is indeed a lot of carbon buried underground... If a large amount is consumed, it will be a troublesome thing."

"The above are the difficulties we are currently facing. Although the life and death of the Riley people and the mass extinction of species on this planet have nothing to do with us, this is indeed quite... well, interesting subject. There may be More civilizations are in the midst of such a slow death."

"So, we plan to go to Riley Star in person to conduct a more detailed scientific investigation."

Yamamoto looked at Zhang Yuan expectantly.

To put it bluntly, the group of them just wanted to go to that planet for field research.

Anyway, human beings will stay here for several years, and it would be a bit... itching not to go down in person.

"Okay, you guys should write an official report first. This is a big topic... Is there a mass extinction of species?" Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, and soon agreed.

This group of guys can always find this kind of very strange and good persuasive reasons.

After discussing these issues, everyone left the room with a hint of dullness and excitement.

Since there is no good solution for a while, no one will worry about the fate of the Laili people after thousands of years when the Holy Mother arrives.

After all, there are still tens of millions of years left for the entire extinction, which is really too long, so long that human beings themselves may not necessarily continue to exist in this world.

Therefore, in principle, human beings will not stay here for dozens or hundreds of years, nor will they stop their steps specifically to observe the mass extinction.

However, this mass extinction still made Zhang Yuan a little uncomfortable.

Technology is not omnipotent, and nothing is possible without technology.

The universe itself is not a place of truth, goodness and beauty. Supernova explosions, meteorite disasters, super volcanic eruptions, and various similar disasters have killed many civilizations that have not had time to develop in the future. Even, as long as the stars shake so much, the resulting ice age can take away a civilization.

If the Laili people were not so backward, they would have had no development for tens of millions of years, and such a slow death would not have happened.

"Even if there is a mass extinction, as long as there is sufficient technological strength, self-protection is more than enough."

"They don't even know it. That's the saddest thing."

Zhang Yuan shook his head, and quickly put this matter behind him, focusing on the upgrade and construction of Kunlun Mountain itself...

A year has passed quickly, and all geographical investigations, biological investigations, and trading activities have temporarily come to an end.

Among them, the most widely talked about by the public is the religious culture of the Riley civilization and the mass extinction of species that will last for 10 million years. The latter, in particular, sparked public debate!

Some people are trying to save such a species from mass extinction.

There are many posts like this on the post bar: "The various species of Riley need to be saved, and the Riley people need to be saved. Although we can't help them here for a long time, at least let them know the fact that they are slowly extinction..."

But it’s useless to talk about this kind of thing. For the Riley civilization that does not yet have technology, even if they are told what will happen in the future, they still cannot understand, what are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon cycles? It is impossible for them to understand!

In the end, these well-meaning people could only tell them this: "The gods will perish in ten million years."

This is easy to understand!

But the Laili people don't care, 10 million years is too long, far beyond the life cycle, and there will be no ashes left long ago. Who would worry about disasters ten million years from now? Even human beings would not worry about problems ten million years from now...

So, after a lot of useless work, there are still some people who think that this is a kind of natural elimination, so why should human beings stay full and meddle in their own business?

Life on a planet cannot be completely extinct in a catastrophe. In the future, species that can decompose the "world tree heart" will eventually evolve, and with a higher concentration of oxygen and a large number of fossil resources, it will be in the mass extinction. After that, the new life that was produced exploded!

Maybe a new intelligent race was born on this planet to replace these Rileys who would never progress?

This kind of debate makes Kunlun Mountain full of vitality. Humans themselves are creatures that enjoy judging the fate of other species. In comparison, the sense of superiority at the moral and technological level makes people full of energy.

At the same time, cultural workers are trying to restore the original life of this aboriginal people in the virtual world by virtue of the materials they have at hand, so as to promote tourism that can only be achieved in virtual space.

Well, there is no need to worry too much about preventing addiction in this aspect. Even Zhang Yuan himself doesn't quite believe that some human beings will be brainwashed by Riley's civilized religion. If such a person really appears, it can only be said to be mentally handicapped.

...

On this day, a big project in the No. 12 virtual world was completed, and everyone in the office was cheering loudly and celebrating.

"Hahaha, look at this World Tree village, it's like elves living in the forest!" The programmer patted the table again, very satisfied with his results.

"Well, about the way of life of Riley civilization... The main god Ebekania created the whole world through a raging flame... The god of water fed the Riley people, and the god of fire... Burn, flame! It is simply It’s like an online game. I think, instead of making some monsters, it’s really a game mode. Although we can only enter the virtual space for 15 days every six months, we can play games on computers or mobile phones to interact with the world ah!"

"...When you are free, you can enter the game and experience it for real. This sense of accomplishment is not for nothing!"

The programmer was literally spitting, and his face was as excited as a red balloon.

Not to mention, this kind of online game related to the virtual world is being discussed in a meeting, as long as the anti-addiction is done well, there is actually no problem.

One of the young men yelled: "Ah, I will talk about it later, I will talk about it later, I have a headache and need to rest."

"Holiday! Holiday! Holiday!"

"Let's fall in love, Wu Peng, look at your anxious look!"

This young man bid farewell to his colleagues, sneaked into the lovers restaurant, and kissed the girl he loved passionately and affectionately.

"Work done?" the girl asked.

"Yeah, it's just the first phase of work. There's a small vacation of three days, but I'm going to put two days behind and rest together!" Wu Peng happily ordered a ground blue melon, which tastes like a The feeling of watermelon combined with grapes, but the output is not high, and the price is a bit expensive.

"I've heard that the latest sweet potato is delicious, a new plant. What would you like to eat?"

"It's so expensive, don't order it! You can save a little money and buy a virtual world tour..."

"This project is completed, and there is a big bonus!" Wu Peng laughed. Virtual world tourism can be said to be a very popular thing. Although he is a cultural worker in the virtual world, working in front of the computer is not the same as actually entering it.

"This planet is undergoing a mass extinction, and biologists don't want to think of a way... The creatures on this planet are so pitiful."

Wu Peng licked his dry lips, "I heard from my colleagues that the Institute of Biology over there set up two working groups in the name of studying the atmosphere, and more than 200 people participated in this project. The government also A portion of the funds were allocated."

"However, everyone is not too optimistic."
