Wang Qi's words not only surprised Zhou Yu, but Irene also showed a hint of curiosity.

Fortunately, Wang Qi didn't give in and explained clearly what was going on in a few words.

According to what Wang Qi said, this officer did not come from a public nursing home. His parents were both residents of Mars, ordinary humans.

After joining the army, he was assigned to the Pioneer Corps. Now in his forties, he had not been home for twenty years.

Wang Qi seized on this point, aroused the other person's longing for his parents and hometown, and made the other person burst into tears with just a few words.

Then he used his talent of being an eloquent speaker and convinced them after a while, and then he agreed to the three people's request.

However, you must change into military uniform before you can go to the front line.

Of course, emotional strategy is just the key to opening the gap, and the core reason is naturally a transaction.

At that moment, when no one was paying attention, the three of them put on the military uniforms provided by the other party, took the spraying equipment, and swaggered forward.

In a short time, they arrived at the place where the construction team was working. The potion was completely atomized and sprayed out, reflecting rainbows in the sunlight.

The atomized water droplets condense on the surface of the plants and reflect the deep green color.

The three of them observed carefully and talked quietly, but found nothing unusual.

"Why do you think we should use manual spraying? Shouldn't it be faster and more effective to use automatic equipment or use drones to spray indiscriminately over such a large area?"

Wang Qi asked in confusion while spraying the spray.

Wang Qi's doubts were also those of Zhou Yu and Aileen.

Indeed, as Wang Qi said, with the current level of development of human civilization, automated equipment is perfectly capable of doing this job.

There is really no need to spray manually. Not only is the efficiency low, but there is also the possibility of omissions.

"I don't know, and I found that on the entire Jumang Star, all construction is basically done by manpower and relatively primitive non-intelligent mechanical construction, and there are basically no intelligent equipment."

Zhou Yu answered and added: "Is it because the Trail Blazers are too poor?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qi immediately refuted.

"What are you talking about? For so many years, the Pioneer Corps has been either colonizing new planets or on the way to colonizing new planets. You must know that according to the provisions of the Alliance Charter, no matter what the purpose of the newly colonized planet is, 30% of all taxes in the first fifty years will be returned to

Developers, 30% will go to the local government, and 40% will be handed over to the alliance."

"Even though 30% of the tax revenue doesn't seem like much, you have to know that in the past fifty years, the Pioneer Legion has colonized no less than 20 planets of various types! How much money is this?"

"Besides, the revenue of the Pioneer Corps is not just taxes. They develop new planets. Do you think those who have obtained mining qualifications, construction qualifications, immigration tourism... Which business is not behind their people?"

"Poverty is the most unlikely reason."

Wearing military uniforms and spraying pesticides is just to deceive others.

After a moment of pretentious construction, we arrived at the edge area that had been circled for today's task.

A black two-meter-high curtain blocked the view.

"Do you think it's possible that the fenced area has actually been processed?"

"The true original state is all outside the curtain?"

Zhou Yu looked around to see if anyone was paying attention and put forward his own guess.

"Come on, don't you know if you go over there and take a look?"

Wang Qi took the lead, pulled up the curtain with a waist, and got through. The fixed place on the ground was torn open by Wang Qi.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zhou Yu and Irene also lifted up the curtains and got through.

It seems that there is no change before and after the curtain. There is no glowing mycelium, and there is nothing unusual about it except that it is full of green.

"Go further, lest you be discovered!" Zhou Yu took the lead, and the three of them headed straight into the depths of the dense forest.

It is said that it is a dense forest, but it is not necessarily true. The plants here, whether they are tree-like or annual herb-like, are only less than one meter tall.

Rather like shrubs on earth, better than trees.

For a moment, Zhou Yu stopped, and the three of them collected plant specimens, conducted infrared detection... and used all kinds of imaginable small equipment one by one.

Previously, the specimens in Zhouyu were collected at night. This time, we will collect another sample during the day to compare it with the ones at night.

Of course, the soil has not been spared either.

At the same time, Irene also scanned everywhere with instruments, looking for protein structures. Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"It's almost done, put on the sunshade and see what happens!"

The sunshade cloth was opened, and Zhou Yu and Wang Qi pulled it to cover a small area.

The next moment, an exciting scene appeared for the three of them.

As time went by, glowing mycelium appeared in the areas that were blocked from sunlight!

It looks like it is slowly growing out of the leaves, branches, etc. of the plant, gradually extending, and finally connecting together.

The three of them almost held their breath. Irene was taking pictures with her personal terminal while changing instruments for inspection.

Wang Qi and Zhou Yu then asked Wang Qi and Zhou Yu to remove the sunshade cloth. As the sunlight fell, the flocculent mycelium immediately softened, gradually drooped down, landed on the surface of the plant, and then penetrated into it.

It looks like it has been burned by the sun and merged into the plant body.

After repeated experiments, the mycelium grew out of the plant again after being shaded from the sun.

Irene concentrated on the experiment, Wang Qi frowned and thought, and Zhou Yu looked at the romantic scene and suddenly remembered some relatively distant things.

When he was a child, his father often popularized some macroscopic views of biology to him.

At this moment, some memories that had been deep in the brain were suddenly awakened. Coupled with the three people's guesses and associations, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Eileen, is there any way to connect these hyphae with our smart devices, or read whether these hyphae convey some information?"

Zhou Yu's proposal immediately made Wang Qi and Irene's eyes light up, but the next moment, Irene spread her hands and said.

"Without equipment, there is no way."

"Then we have to give up now and try again after we get the equipment. But with so many live videos, it's almost enough to hand them over to the alliance. Let's leave the details to those scientists. After all, we are just investigators, not big scientists.

"Wang Qi agreed.

"You may not be able to come in next time. Dig a plant and take it back to try." Zhou Yu's suggestion was immediately adopted by the two of them. Soon, a small plant was completely dug out.

In order to ensure survival, a lot of soil is also brought to the roots.

Immediately afterwards, the sunshade cloth was opened and the drug sprayed by the army was sprayed after the hyphae appeared.

The changes in the hyphae were very obvious. The moment they came into contact with the drug, they shrank instantly like plastic that had been burned by boiling water, and disappeared in the darkness in an instant.

Different from the results of sunlight exposure, the mycelium after disappearing is not integrated into the plant, and it does not appear again if it is shaded again.
