Chapter 22: Rescue and Determination (Part 2)
Chapter 22: Rescue and Plan (Part 2)
Several scientists returned to their respective laboratories. They were basically the leaders of each group. After returning, they naturally had their own words for their team members.
In fact, Yao Yuan's management of scientists was not efficient, nor was his management of 120,000 people.
On the one hand, it was too hasty when he escaped from the earth, and the management talents under him were almost zero. In addition, he was only the captain of the special forces. Various circumstances led to the current situation.
The management method of scientists is that they are divided into different teams according to different subjects studied, and each team is formed into several different groups according to the number of people and reputation. For example, the famous British astrophysicist Ai
Er Lun was appointed as the leader of the astrophysics group by Yao Yuan, but at the same time, Er Lun managed several groups in the astrophysics system. This was such a situation.
At this moment, the various scientific groups in the laboratory, all scientists related to chemistry, biology, genes, and even energy, have basically gathered here, but everyone seems to be a little worried about how to deal with the problem.
It was too tight and too difficult to tackle, especially when it related to the life and death of 120,000 people, and it might also be the last hope of mankind. Everyone present felt a heavy pressure.
When the respective team leaders came back and spoke about the current serious situation, almost no one present could speak. The noisy voices suddenly stopped. Everyone's face looked ugly. Most of them had relatives on the Hope.
, and they basically all know the terror of these alien plants and the misery of the Hope after losing its energy. Precisely because they know the many consequences, their despair is much greater than that of the people.
Suddenly, a female scientist among the scientists suddenly said: "Everyone, let us let go of our minds, forget the constraints of conventional thoughts and theories on the earth, and let us have a science fiction fantasy that completely exceeds our current science."
Everyone around looked at this female scientist, a kind-hearted woman in her forties or fifties. She said in English with an Italian accent: "Everyone, let me start first... I think we currently have no understanding of this plant.
There are many unclear points, so why can't we connect them all? Don't think of it as a unique characteristic, but embrace it all as one. For example, the major mentioned this
Plants may have a kind of collective consciousness, and it is this collective consciousness that affects us, and may even hypnotize us, causing us to suddenly send a shuttle to the ground without delving into it or exploring it carefully..."
The female scientist's voice became louder and louder, and she said loudly: "Then why can't we think in a different direction? This is not a trap. Maybe when this alien plant was created, it already had the collective ability
Consciousness, just like the microwave oven we use, has set a microwave heating time of five minutes. Once the five minutes have passed, the microwave oven will make a sound to remind us that the heating time is up. If we leave it alone for a long time, it will
The sound will sound from time to time to remind us that the things inside have been heated."
"Why can't the collective consciousness of this plant be such a thing? It is not a hypnosis or a scam to let us into a trap, but a way to remind us that the energy and minerals have been collected and we need to take them.
What about the reminders of energy and minerals? Is this hypnotic power that affects our descent nothing more than a reminder mechanism?”
When the female scientist said what she said, the eyes of many scientists present suddenly lit up. One of them, a young scientist in his twenties, or an experimental student, suddenly felt that there was silence around him. This feeling was so wonderful that he seemed to
Hearing someone whispering something in his ear, he said almost subconsciously: "Yes, that's it. This also explains why those alien plants will devour and absorb alien creatures, but for us
Human beings are completely unscathed and will not absorb the metal elements in our bodies...it is a certain special frequency of brain waves."
"What is the biggest difference between us and these alien creatures? It is the difference in intelligence. We are human beings and have the concept of 'I', 'you' and 'other'. At the same time, we are capable of thinking and civilization.
, and most of those alien creatures only have simple instincts, or even if they have thinking, they are just beast-level thinking... I know, I know..."
The experimental student suddenly shouted. He looked at the scientists around him who were staring at him with bright eyes and said, "It's civilization! When alien civilization created this kind of plant, it must have put some restrictions on it.
Just like the three-law restriction on robots that we imagine, because this plant is too powerful and feeds on a planet, when alien civilization created it, it must have added such a restriction, which does not allow for intelligence and civilization.
As for how to determine intelligence and civilization, it should be related to a certain special frequency of brain waves, because the more intense and fast the thinking, the higher this special frequency will be. When it reaches a certain level, it can be determined
It is a civilized race, like us humans..."
"So! This plant senses us based on the frequency of brain waves! So they won't hurt us! They consider us their masters!"
This hypothesis seemed to open a small gap in a hard box. Everyone in the box seemed to see the infinite scenery outside. Everyone became excited and was thinking hard about all this.
possibility.
"Isn't it possible that this plant can be controlled by thinking?" Another bearded scientist in his fifties suddenly said.
"To put it simply, what if you rely on some kind of instrument to amplify the thinking of an intelligent life form, and then directly manipulate the plant? In this way, what about making it spit out the energy crystals and various minerals it absorbed? Is this possible?
"
Many scientists were all talking about their own speculations and imaginations, and even some exaggerated speculations and imaginations caused disputes among several people. After more than ten minutes, the female scientist suddenly took a picture.
After clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, he said: "Everyone, let us summarize the greatest possibilities that we have imagined so far."
"First of all, this plant does have a collective consciousness, which was probably born when it was created. It governs the entire plant group to prevent the plant from losing control, and it also serves as a reporting mechanism and a safety mechanism...
…”
"After our space jump, our Hope appeared in this star field. Especially when we flew near this planet, the collective consciousness of this plant sensed us humans, and through some mysterious channels, such as
It is said to be the mysterious brain wave frequency generated by thinking. It knows that we are an intelligent race and have a civilization, so it sends a message that the minerals and energy have been collected, asking us to go to the ground to collect them as soon as possible."
"It's just that we couldn't understand all this and were inadvertently hypnotized, so we landed the Hope on this desert planet. At this moment, we don't have any ability to control this plant, so this plant follows its settings
Instinct began to absorb the energy of the Hope. Of course, according to its set instinct, this plant will not cause any harm to us as an intelligent race."
When the female scientist said this, she paused and continued: "The above is our understanding of why this plant does not attack us humans, whether it has collective consciousness, and why those two people can summon the plant. I guess
It may be that these two people inexplicably matched the frequency of the plant's brain waves, which attracted the flora. Maybe people can always do all kinds of incredible things when they are in danger. These things we
We've seen it a lot in biology, so I think it's possible."
Another scientist next to him immediately said: "Then, can these two people try to drive away the large number of plants attached to the Hope?"
After the scientist finished speaking, he even shook his head.
Another scientist next to him sighed and said: "It's not possible. After all, manpower is sometimes exhausted. We don't have the science and technology of mind amplification at all. We haven't even found the brain waves that control plants. No matter how powerful these two people are, they can only do it once at most."
To drive away one hundred square meters of plants, how big is the entire Hope? After they leave, the plants in this area will appear again. Unless there are tens of thousands of people like them who can manipulate and drive away plants, the area may be completely driven away.
?”
At that moment, everyone present looked bitter, but this time even the female scientist was speechless. Everyone stood or sat there with ugly expressions.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young experimental student who spoke before suddenly spoke again.
The experimental student felt that the surroundings were silent again, and there seemed to be a voice slowly saying something in his ears, which made him involuntarily follow the voice and speak.
"Dear doctors and tutors, I have always been thinking about this question. The word 'absolute' should not exist in science..."
The people around him once again looked at the experimental student in surprise. This young man originally had a slightly shy and reserved expression, but the more he talked about it, the more enthusiastic he became and his voice became louder and louder.
"Everyone should have a guess, that is, any planet with life has different life forms and cannot be generalized. For example, viruses on one planet may not be the same for life on another planet.
, is their nutrition or growth agent, or maybe the ordinary microorganisms on this planet are simply a peerless virus to another planet, more terrifying than the Resident Evil..."
"So is it possible that there is such a concept? That the plant in front of us was created by this civilization to collect minerals and energy from this planet and specifically for the biological and natural environment of this planet? Because scientifically
There is no concept of 'absolute'. No organism or plant can be 'absolutely' immune to viruses and microorganisms in any environment. At most, it can be 'absolutely' immune to microorganisms and viruses on this planet.
"
The experimental student said excitedly: "What kind of large amounts of strong acid or high-power lasers are needed there? Everyone, our minds have been constrained from the beginning. Who stipulated that alien microorganisms and viruses must be us humans?
What is 'absolutely' harmful? Who stipulates that the original microorganisms and viruses of our earth are not terminal viruses to other alien creatures? This is relative. We are afraid of alien viruses and microorganisms, maybe aliens
Creatures and plants are also afraid of the microorganisms and viruses on our earth!"
"Didn't we already have a few plants planted in the simulated ecological park on the sixth floor? Don't we also have a large number of samples and specimens of various plant viruses on the earth? Come out and experiment! We may also have a perfect one on our hands.
What a trump card! It’s just that we ourselves don’t know it!”
At Yao Yuan's place at the moment, he was carefully asking Jie Weili and Feng Xiaocheng about the previous situation, which was when Jie Weili took out a ballpoint pen and shouted about energy, and then a large number of alien plants appeared.
Jie Weili breathed a sigh of relief again at this moment. The thing he was most worried about did not happen. However, he didn't know what was going on about the things he asked about, so he could only respond vaguely. Similarly, Feng Xiaocheng said
I don't know anything about these things at all, so it's impossible to say anything.
Yao Yuan thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "Jie Weili, are you one of the 102 people who survived after being infected with that mysterious virus?"
Jie Weili was stunned for a moment, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I have always been healthy, so I may have survived this virus."
Yao Yuan was thoughtful, and he picked up the file about Jie Weili and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he suddenly said something that made Jie Weili's heart split.
"This file is fake, Mr. Jieweili. You are a liar. You are not a high-level talent from a higher education institution, is that right?"
Jie Weili immediately said anxiously: "Major, please listen to my explanation. This is actually all a misunderstanding..."
Yao Yuan directly closed the file and said: "Okay, I believe all this may be a misunderstanding, then you tell me, tell me carefully, what happened at that time and what you felt! Why did those plants
Appear!"
Jie Weili suddenly said with a mournful face: "Major, I have already said, I have no idea about the situation at that time..."
"Guards! Throw him out of the Hope!" Yao Yuan shouted directly.
When the soldiers outside came in, Jie Weili immediately shouted anxiously: "At that time, I just felt that there was silence all around! All the sounds were gone. I felt that I could deceive something, and then I shouted loudly
It's a lot of energy, and then those plants appeared, and that's it, Major, I swear to God!"
"I don't believe in the oaths of liars, but..." Yao Yuan waved his hand and asked the soldier to leave the room, and then he began to think deeply.
(Is there an ability? To deceive...even the collective consciousness of alien plants?)
At this moment, the big screen in the room suddenly lit up, and the excited expressions of several scientists inside were revealed.
The leading scientist said hurriedly: "Major! A piece of good news and a piece of bad news! The good news is that a way to suppress this plant has been found, a very common plant green leaf wilt virus on the earth. It is very effective against this alien plant.
It has devastating damage. It only takes three to five seconds at most to let the alien plant be infected with the virus. Because of the high absorptiveness and efficient metabolism of this plant, the place where it is infected with the virus will be infected in three to five seconds.
Completely wither and die!”
"But Major, the bad news is that this virus is too lethal to the plant, so the absorption speed of the delivery site cannot keep up with the destruction speed of the virus. We have tested it several times, unless it is everywhere
The virus should be dripped on all locations, otherwise the infected areas will wither quickly and then separate from the plant body, while the remaining plant parts will continue to absorb energy..."
The scientists on the screen all had dumbfounded expressions. They were previously afraid that the plant viruses on Earth would not harm this alien plant. Now that they have confirmed that they will, they are unable to kill all the alien plants because the damage is too strong.
Withering...this kind of thing is really too much.
The leading scientist continued: "So, one of our experimental students came up with such a concept..."
"Inject the virus into the core of the plant, which is where the core of the plant stores minerals and energy crystals. If this is the case... the Hope will escape and take off!"
"But the key problem is that we have no way to make the main body of plants on this planet appear, unless the three nuclear reactors of the Hope are activated collectively and increase the energy output at the same time to attract the main body of plants on this planet to surface at all costs, but even so
, calculated based on the total energy absorption per unit area of these plants, it seems that it is not enough to attract the main body of plants on this planet. Major, this is the last method we have come up with."
When Yao Yuan heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Jie Weili.
"Jie Weili, I believe this is all a misunderstanding... If you can complete this task, I will always remember that this is all a misunderstanding." Yao Yuan smiled and said very kindly.
