Chapter 2601 Daisy’s World (Part 2)

"Muggles are very interesting. They actually imagined such a world, aren't you right?" the editor of Vigorous Publishing House said to Scamander.

"Yes, of course," said Newt Scamander.

"So do you think they're right?" the editor asked Scamander.

Newt looked at him confused and surprised.

"Hi, Pomona!" Tina greeted Pomona, and then she saw Cedric. "We meet again, young man."

"Good evening, ma'am," Cedric said politely.

"It seems that you are in company, so I'll excuse you now." The editor said to the two of them.

After he left, Scamander let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go quickly." He said nervously, like a nervous "little beast".

"We have just arrived." Tina advised him, "Don't forget what I told you before, you must learn to adapt..."

"Compliment each other like everyone else, right? Compliment to what? Tina, sir, your dragon leather boots are so beautiful, and lady, your Peruvian salamander leather handbag is so exquisite." Newt was uneasy.

Gotta say.

"Take Scamander to find a place to rest, Cedric." Pomona said.

"Okay, Dean." Cedric said, helping Newt leave the main event.

"It's not that he can't handle big scenes." Tina said helplessly to Pomona, "As long as he is performing a mission."

"I understand, let's change places." Pomona helped Tina to a corner. From this place, she could see the place where she got off the bus, and Hagrid was standing there.

"The tie you mentioned last time was worn by Theseus when he was in Berlin. At that time, the German Minister of Magic announced that Grindelwald could run for president of the International Federation of Wizards." Tina said after a while, "Newt behaved very well at that time.

good."

"What's he going to do?" Pomona asked.

"Send a message to others." Tina said, "Do what is right, not what is easy."

"Let me guess, who is that person?" Pomona deliberately pondered, "Albus Dumbledore."

"Sounds a lot like his style, right?" Tina smiled softly.

"That's right." Pomona agreed casually.

A waiter walked by, and Tina took a glass of wine from his tray, but instead of drinking it, she looked at it in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Pomona asked.

"Someone poisoned the wine," Tina said.

"What!" Pomona exclaimed.

"No, not tonight, that night!" Tina quickly corrected, "Someone wants to assassinate Santos."

"You mean, the Santos who replaced Grindelwald as the President of Magic?" Pomona asked.

"Yes, that's her. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now." Tina said, "It's just that after you mention that tie, we can't help but be immersed in memories."

"I'm sorry..." Pomona said sadly.

"I understand, you are just delivering the message on behalf of Albus." Tina said, "Just like Newt did that night."

Then Tina took a sip of wine and seemed to fall into memories again.

"Newt mentioned Black Vine Water to Neville that day. Was it because of Santos?" Pomona asked.

"No, Auror will use black vine water to torture, not because of Santos." Tina said.

"I mean, Newt knew Black Vine Water because of Santos," Pomona said.

"I don't know about this. He traveled to many countries before I met him," Tina said.

"What happens when you get together?" Pomona asked.

"We traveled around the world together for a while, then I got pregnant and came back to England," Tina said. "Then he started working at the Ministry of Magic."

Pomona took a sip of wine.

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Tina asked.

"Just curious." Pomona said, and then found another topic to continue the conversation.

————————————————————————————————————-

In the 1960s, Lovelock proposed the Gaia hypothesis, but before that it had another name, called the self-balancing earth control theory. Fortunately, he lived next door to William Gerding, a winner of the Robert Prize for Literature.

After he understood Lovelock's theory, he suggested that Lovelock name his theory after the earth goddess Gaia.

By 1983, Lovelock used a computer to simulate a twin brother of the Earth, but it was not called Earth 2, or the name of another Greek god, but called "Daisy World".

The "Daisy World" is barren, with countless seeds waiting to germinate. Unfortunately, the sower is color blind. These seeds can only grow daisies of two colors, one black and one white. The black daisies absorb

Heat, white daisies reflect heat.

At the beginning, the sun's light was still very weak, the surface temperature of the planet was very low, and no grass could grow. As the light gradually increased, the black daisies received the sunlight keenly and sprouted first, becoming the first pioneers of the new world. After a while,

The cold daisy world grew up, gradually flourished, and spread from the poles to lower latitudes. At the same time, the heat they absorbed warmed the earth, causing the temperature of the planet to slowly rise.

This warming caused the white daisy seeds in the ground to sense it and began to expand at the warm equator. Soon they were as good as the black daisies. The planet was wrapped in black and white flowers. The surface temperature gradually stabilized, and the two kinds of daisies also

Satisfaction has reached a state of balance.

But the jealous Sun felt uncomfortable seeing this harmonious and prosperous scene, so he increased the intensity of radiation, further heating the world of daisies. White daisies can maintain themselves in hot environments because of their strong ability to reflect sunlight.

The temperature was cool, and the black daisies gradually declined because they could not withstand the high temperature. The white flowers overtook the black daisies. The black daisies could only survive at the poles, and the white daisies almost occupied the entire planet.

However, just when the white daisies thought they had won a great victory, because the white daisies were densely covering the ground and reflecting all the light, the ground surface could not receive enough heat and the temperature began to drop until the black daisies could grow again.

This caused the world of daisies to enter a new cycle. The black daisies warmed the earth, and the white daisies retreated to the equator. In this way, the temperature of the planet rose and fell repeatedly, but it was always in a range suitable for the growth of daisies.

Little did the black and white daisies know that their competitive relationship had created a fully automated temperature-controlled planet.

This simple world aroused doubts from the outside world because it was too simple, so the rabbits were first put into the world of daisies, and they ate everything they wanted.

It did initially lead to a decline in the number of daisies, but like a mouse utopia, the rate of growth of rabbits gradually slowed down, while the number of daisies gradually rebounded, and eventually the two formed a dynamic equilibrium state.

At this time, the foxes appeared, and they ate some rabbits, which made Daisy relieved. However, due to the shortage of food, the nurse had to plan her birth, which provided the rabbits with the opportunity to re-reproduce. Before long, the three races coexisted harmoniously again.

.

So Lovelock made some more plagues, meteorites, etc., but the result remained the same. Daisy's world returned to a certain state of balance after some troubles. In other words, no matter how people add fuel to Daisy's world, it shows

The basic trend is still consistent with the original model, and as more and richer species are introduced, the planet's ability to self-regulate will become better and more powerful.

Just like a living body, if it is injured, it will bleed, but it will also form scar tissue and eventually return to its original state. Complexity will only enhance it to reach a new equilibrium state, but it will not make it lose the power of self-regulation.

Unless, the temperature is out of balance.

The sun was too active, even the white daisies couldn't bear it. The daisies withered one after another, exposing the land they once protected. The planet lost its protective layer and was helpless to let the sun shine. The temperature eventually rose to a level that was unbearable for any life.

Venus, the planet closest to the sun, once had rivers and even an ocean. However, as the sun gradually expanded, Venus was too close to the sun and everything was evaporated. The same is not true if it is too far from the sun. Take Mars, which is close to the earth, for example.

Its surface temperature spans a wide range and exceeds the temperature range that "Daisy" can adjust.

Of course, the causes of the climate conditions on Mars are very complex, but this also indirectly shows that there is a limit to the adjustment ability of "Gaia". Beyond this range, biodiversity cannot maintain a dynamic balance.

Fire can bring warmth and light, but it can also bring destruction and pain. The seeds of the fire bush can be used to hatch dragons and can also be used to make potions, but make sure the flames are extinguished when taking the seeds.

If it is just a fire, the "torrent" used by the interns is enough. As long as it is strong enough, the dragon fire can also be extinguished.

And as long as the tinder bush is still alive, it can rekindle the fire if it is extinguished, but if the fire starts a prairie fire, it will not work.

If the maze champions see the entire maze burning, they will not easily enter the "fire scene". The danger factor of this kind of maze is too high, and it has exceeded the scope of a "game" worth playing seriously.

In other words, after completing the "pulsation" of the Tinder Shrub and the Goblet of Fire, Pomona still needs to create a strong enough "enchantment" to extinguish the fire of the Tinder Shrub without killing them.

The "body" that makes up the Goblet of Fire will automatically deform according to the drawing.

The Goblet of Fire has the ability to choose a "champion", which only requires players to throw their names into the fire.

This will form a magical contract. As long as you are selected by the Goblet of Fire, whether you are willing or not, you must join this game. Even if Pomona does not extinguish the fire of the tinder bush, whether it is applying fire-proof potion or wearing fire-proof clothes,

Regardless of the protective gear, there is also the issue of oxygen. Flame burning also consumes oxygen. The situation is different from the bottom of the black lake. The players can only find ways to pass the level.

But since she said she wanted to lower the difficulty, she would find a way to lower the difficulty. The trouble was brought upon herself.

But if she throws the designed map into the Goblet of Fire, can the Goblet of Fire "learn" and let its "body" deform according to the drawing?

There are many forms of life, some are very simple, like single-celled organisms, which cannot process complex information, but what level of "intelligence" can the Goblet of Fire reach?

If it does not reach a certain level, how can humans believe that its choice is right?

After returning to the greenhouse, Pomona took out a bottle of magic potion from the drawer that he had used a long time ago when he was growing the whomping willow.

She discovered a plant that had two properties, day and night. She called it light asphodel during the day and dark Artopa at night. She extracted two essential oils respectively.

During the day, it photosynthesizes like a plant, and at night it respires like an ordinary plant, more like an animal.

It's not like a regeneration potion. Toots said in the interview that his potion is like giving the plant a breath of life (life of breath), rather than forcing (blackmail) the plant to sprout.

A plant is not like a bird that has broken out of its shell. It has to wait patiently for it to break out of its shell. During the shell breaking process, it changes to lung breathing, allowing the lungs to slowly unfold like the wings of a butterfly that has just emerged from its cocoon.

Artopa is the one among the three goddesses of destiny who is responsible for cutting the thread of life. With a "click", you can't help but pretend to be weak to gain sympathy from others. You will "get up" before you die, so that's why the Whomping Willow has such a big temper.

Cross-species transfiguration can turn an animal's legs into roots so that it cannot move. How can she make plants without movement functions move like animals?

"You're a real troublemaker, Albus." She put the potion in the drawer and put the newly hatched tinder bush into a potted plant.

Their "fire" is strong enough, and there is no need to "add fuel to the fire", otherwise they will go crazy like the trees in the Killer Forest, instead of being "herdsmen of a hundred trees" with wisdom and consciousness.
