Universe dominance

Centauri Galaxy AB Star is in the tropical tropics of the eastern hemisphere. This area receives direct illumination from Star B for a long time and has no autobiography, so it is illuminated 24 hours a day. Although it is 4 astronomical units away from Star B, the illumination time is too long. , so the temperature here is much higher than that in other areas, with the average temperature being more than 20 degrees.

Coupled with sufficient rainfall, a very vast tropical rain forest has been formed here. Its area is dozens of times larger than the Amazon rain forest, the largest area on earth. It is a paradise for life.

In this vast tropical rain forest, the trees are very tall, and they are all trees with huge leaves, which block out the sky and the sun. The sun is bright at the top of the rain forest, but it is bleak at the bottom of the rain forest. The sunlight was completely blocked by layers of dense leaves.

Even when it rains heavily, because of the layers of huge leaves, the bottom of the rainforest is watertight and very dry and comfortable.

Because there is no autobiography, there is naturally no distinction between day and night, but animals and plants also need to rest, so at the bottom of this dense rain forest, this dark world has become a paradise for animals. Countless animals will choose to go there after they are sleepy. Come and rest at the bottom of this rainforest.

The animals that can survive in the rainforest are basically the strongest race on the planet, because dark areas are very precious to the entire planet. They are born in the light and yearn for darkness.

At this time, the terrain of the rainforest is getting darker and darker from high to low. Various animals live in the dense woods. Some of them dig holes in huge trees and live in comfortable caves. Medium; some simply roll up a large leaf and sleep peacefully.

Everything is peaceful, animals like to sleep in this dark environment, and even plants have evolved special functions. The plants in the rainforest can be divided into two parts, one part is at the bottom, and this part It can absorb sunlight and perform photosynthesis. In addition, a part of the bottom of the rainforest has evolved special leaves. These leaves can rest in the dark environment at the bottom similar to the plants on earth that rest at night.

In this dense primeval rainforest, the most powerful tribe on the planet lives, because only the most powerful tribe can occupy this feng shui treasure land. There are many animals and plants, and there is no need to worry about food at all. The rainforest The darkness at the bottom is a very good sleeping place. Naturally, only the most powerful tribes can occupy such a good place.

A huge tree with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a height of thousands of meters, covering an area of ​​more than ten kilometers. Such a huge tree would be unbelievable if it were placed on the earth, but here It is not uncommon in a dense virgin rain forest, and it is even larger.

This huge tree has a very long history. The middle of its trunk has been dug out long ago, and it has become the home of a powerful tribe with thousands of people.

This powerful tribe uses the tree as its core. From the bottom of the tree upwards, layer after layer, it carves out countless spaces. The people of the primitive tribe live freely and carefree in this paradise. There is no need to worry about creatures like the tribes on the grassland. In this dense primeval rainforest, there are endless berries to eat and endless animals to kill, so you can live a carefree life.

In the sky of the rain forest, a spaceship flew rapidly from the sky and floated quietly over the rain forest.

"Tsk, tsk, it's unbelievable that there are trees on this planet that can grow to such a huge extent, hundreds of meters in diameter, thousands of meters high, and the branches and leaves cover an area of ​​more than ten kilometers."

Inside this flying saucer-shaped spaceship, Gu Feng looked at the huge tree in front of him with an extremely shocked look in his eyes. Such a huge number was beyond imagination.

"This tree is not even the largest. According to our detection of this rainforest, the largest tree has a diameter of more than 400 meters and a height of more than 3,000 meters. That is really scary."

Unwilling to be left alone, Tang Boyuan also followed Gu Feng down. Originally, Gu Feng planned to go to the rainforest to capture some native animals and primitive aborigines, and collect some plants to study the creatures of this planet. The most important thing was to study this planet. Vaccine the planet against the virus in order to prepare for later immigration.

"Star AB has always been illuminated by the light of stars, and photosynthesis can continue. The growth and development are indeed better than here on Earth. If you look carefully, this tree can actually be divided into two parts."

"There are layers of dense branches and leaves below about 200 meters. This layer of branches and leaves is located at the bottom of the rainforest. These branches and leaves are used for dark reactions, while the huge canopy area above is used for photosynthesis. Most of the plants in this rainforest are like this. They can perform two functions at the same time, so they grow quickly and become so tall and scary. "

Gu Feng nodded. He studied biotechnology and could analyze these trees just by looking at them.

"Two reactions at the same time?"

Although Tang Boyuan studies astronomy, he also knows a little bit about biology. On Earth, plants absorb sunlight during the day for light reactions and at night for dark reactions. However, there is no night on this planet, so the plants in these rainforests Just at the bottom the dark reaction takes place.

"Plants that have evolved through survival and can carry out these two reactions at the same time are more adaptable to the environment on Planet AB. If plants like ours on Earth arrive on this planet, it will definitely be difficult to adapt. On this planet, According to the plant samples we have collected now, basically they have evolved this function.”

"Although in areas such as grasslands, it seems that the grass is not much different from that on the earth, the roots at the bottom of these plants have also evolved parts that can perform dark reactions."

"Even on this planet, the populations that can reproduce and grow their own populations are basically concentrated in this dense rain forest, because the bottom of the rain forest is dimly lit, allowing them to rest well."

"The animals and plants on our earth like sunny and warm places, but the animals and plants on this planet like dark and cold places. It's the opposite."

Gu Feng smiled and continued to explain. On the other side, the spaceship was quietly suspended in the air. Lasers were fired from the spacecraft. Soon, the rain forest started to fall, and countless leaves, branches, etc. fell one after another. Going down, countless sleeping animals were disturbed, and an oval-shaped area was cleared.

The spaceship continued to land slowly, and the original appearance of the rainforest was revealed to everyone's view. The layers of primitive rainforest were like kingdoms. Among these tall numbers, there were all kinds of The animals flashed rapidly out of panic and disappeared into the sunlight.

On the branches and branches of trees, various fruits, berries, etc. are densely packed. There are giant fruits as big as round tables, and they are as big as watermelons and they are densely clustered together like grapes. Everything here stands out. The word "big" is used, and fruits, berries, etc. are many times larger than those on earth.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

A group of bee-like creatures, their nests had just been swept away by the laser. At this time, seeing the spacecraft slowly landing, these bee-like creatures as big as sparrows began to swarm up, with long poisonous needles. He stabbed the hard shell of the spacecraft with all his strength, not afraid of death.

"Tsk, tsk, my mouth is watering when I see these fruits. I don't know if they can be eaten. And this bee's nest is so huge that it is almost like a hill. Do you think there is royal jelly in it? Like, I think it tastes good too.”

Tang Boyuan drooled while looking at the various colorful fruits, berries, etc. around him. He also drooled when he saw the golden bee nest.

After traveling on a spaceship for nearly 5 months, the food I eat can only meet daily energy needs, etc., not to mention taste, etc. As for the fruit, I have already finished it, so at this time, it is It’s natural to drool when you see all kinds of fruits.

"Why don't we collect some and take them back for testing and disinfection? I think we should be able to find some edible fruit varieties."

Gu Feng was about the same as Tang Boyuan at this time. He was already tired of eating the food on the spaceship. At this time, he also wanted to improve his own food. Although this was the first time he had eaten fruits from the alien ball, he was a bit of the first to eat them. It feels like a crab, but there is a first time for everything. If you want to settle on this planet in the future, you will have to give it a try sooner or later.

"Collect, collect, and don't let go of the honey. These are all natural, wild honeys. Look at the color, tsk tsk, golden, golden. With such a huge hive, you can definitely collect a lot of royal jelly."

Tang Boyuan nodded repeatedly, looking like a foodie.

The robotic arm on the spacecraft slowly stretched out and began to continuously pick various fruits, berries, nuts, etc. from the trees, preparing to bring them back to the "Kyushu" spacecraft for inspection first, and then use them to improve everyone. of food.

When the spacecraft slowly approached the hive as huge as a hill, the already crazy bees began to rush onto the spacecraft like crazy. However, all this was in vain, and they could not even stay on the spacecraft. As for the next trace, I could only watch helplessly as the mechanical arm on the spacecraft continued to cut away the honey that I had worked so hard to collect.
