Chapter 136: Wonderful imagination, major progress
?
Everyone was stunned for a while before they came to their senses.
It turns out that it was the eldest sister who provided the financial support, and the boss had the research funds.
This statement is quite funny.
Everyone wanted to laugh immediately, but they held it back and didn't dare to laugh out loud.
After all, he is a big boss, so it would be inappropriate to ridicule him like this, right?
Buck's head shrank.
It's over, it's over, he's making trouble again.
The boss’s passionate and inspiring speech turned out to be anything but passionate or inspiring at the last moment.
The effect is seriously inconsistent with the boss’s original intention.
"Just laugh if you want to."
Link saw everyone struggling to hold back their laughter and said proactively, very generously.
The reason why he suddenly said something that was completely inconsistent with his character was just to make everyone laugh.
After all, the tunnel is underground. Although it has discarded magic stones as a light source, it is not dark.
However, people are involuntarily affected by the cramped and low environment, which makes them easily depressed and amplifies negative emotions.
Link saw that his pep talk had no effect, so he turned to trying to be funny.
I hope this can ease the mood of the team members.
Sure enough, there was good feedback this time.
Seeing that Link really didn't care, everyone didn't hold back and chuckled.
The previous gloomy atmosphere was gone.
Everyone felt much more relaxed.
Jasmine couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Link. She didn't like this statement very much.
After waiting for a while, when everyone's emotions stabilized, Jasmine explained:
"How can there be any soft method to force him to do it? I invested 5 magic stones, but he only used 2.5. I finally got back 30 magic stones. This return on investment is very high, right? That's not all.
" , Jasmine faced everyone's curious eyes and continued: "I was involved in all his subsequent research. Whether it was the signature of the 'paper' or the 'patent' rights, I had a share." Jasmine raised her head slightly
. Xuenen's chin was raised and her tone was proud: "Do you think my investment is worth it?"
Everyone was silent after hearing this, not knowing how to express their feelings for a while.
you still need to ask?
It's definitely worth it.
It’s super worthwhile.
The emotions of the five brothers are more complicated than those of the three.
Thinking back on how hard they had worked to get close to Link's thick leg.
The eldest sister is in a good position, she doesn't have to pay anything, and she gets all the good things.
The differences between people are really huge.
Woohoo~
At least three of the five brothers seemed to hear their own cries.
Those are all tears.
The three of them understood why Link was willing to take Jasmine with him in everything.
It turns out there is such a connection.
Well...
I can't say that their ideas are wrong, I can only say that they are too one-sided.
After such a fuss, everyone's attention has completely shifted, and they are no longer obsessed with research setbacks and experimental difficulties.
While drinking, eating, and resting, they started talking and laughing.
Dalton, who had been hiding for a day, took the opportunity to find Link.
He is responsible for monitoring the surrounding area in real time. His work is very important but also very boring.
"Is there a situation?"
As soon as Dalton came over, Link immediately asked him to sit next to him, handed him a glass of water, and asked with concern.
"Yes."
Dalton nodded, took the water glass, and took a sip of the sweet purified water made and delivered by the boss himself, and then said:
"Lanny Taylor appeared a few more times.
First, she wanted to copy us. There was a way to cross the river, but the rope was not long enough, and there was no tool to send the rope across.
Later, she tried to glide over, but was driven back by the ferocious beast in the water."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
Dalton mentioned the ferocious beasts in the water, and Link suddenly remembered a strange thing.
Or to put it more appropriately, it is a characteristic of this world.
The size of herbivorous animals is relatively normal, whether compared with Link's previous life or the wizarding world.
The carnivorous animals are each larger than the last.
When I first entered this world and met Iris Clark, the group of wild beasts that looked like jackals but were much taller were like this; (See Chapter 4 of this volume) The beasts that I
avoided along the way were like this;
rescue Dalton and Andrea When Norman, Lutz Berry, and Bamir Balves lured away the giant beast that looked like a Tyrannosaurus rex, it was like this;
even the ferocious beast in the river that looked like a crocodile but had more than doubled in size was like this. in this way.
This phenomenon is definitely not normal!
Don't worry about Lanny Taylor for the moment, there are more important things at the moment.
"Let me ask you a question."
Link immediately stood up, clapped his hands to attract attention, and then said loudly, "In your impression, what are the characteristics of the sizes of herbivorous animals and carnivorous animals in this world?"
The sudden question really confused everyone.
Especially Jasmine, who has never been out of the sandbank in the center of the river.
After a moment, Lin En, the most thoughtful person, was the first to react.
He stood up in shock and asked in shock: "Boss, do you think that the size of carnivorous animals is too large and seems abnormal?" This
is a point that most people easily ignore.
After all, every world is different.
The animals are larger because they have enough food and nutrition, or they are born that way.
This contrast would be difficult to detect without subdividing the animals and studying herbivores and carnivores separately.
It's like piercing a layer of window paper.
The rest of the people also understood what Link wanted to convey.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Why is this happening?"
"There must be something wrong here that deserves further investigation."
"Understanding the reason may be very helpful to our plan." "
Then how should we start? Go hunt one or two giant beasts and come back, dissect and slice them ?"
"It's not impossible, it's just more troublesome."
"Aren't there big and fierce fish in the river? Let's catch a few fish first and study them."
Meade Valente did not participate in the discussion, but frowned in thought until The discussion became quieter.
He slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I have a guess, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not." "I should talk about it,
of course I should talk about it."
Link extended his hand to indicate to Mead Valente to speak boldly, and at the same time further expressed his position. ,,
"I emphasize again that we are a team. During internal discussions and brainstorming, anyone, any idea, any point of view can speak out. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Never, never, never be afraid of making mistakes. "
Thank you, boss."
Mead raised his thick hand and scratched the back of his head, smiled shyly, and then revealed his guess,
"I've actually been thinking, if the contents of the secret passage murals are true, then where did the corpses of the dead gods go? Just after hearing the boss's question, I suddenly came up with a guess, could it be that the corpses of the dead gods went to The whole world was eaten by carnivorous animals."
Hiss...
there was a sound of breathing.
This guess is very bold, and the idea is very strange.
But it has to be said that there is a possibility of it being established, and it is extremely possible.
As we all know, the full name of the college is River South College of Biology and Medicine.
How to cultivate and utilize organisms better, more comprehensively and more efficiently is one of the strengths of the college.
Even if the first grade has not yet touched on related subjects, they have heard about it.
For example, the corpses of Storm Sea's new blood who died in the black area of the West City will be recycled by the college, their hearts and lungs will be cut out, and they will be dismembered and cut to make up for the losses and recover their investment.
Therefore, everyone present quickly accepted and approved Meade's guess.
As a god, as a higher creature, wouldn't it be very simple for his body to be eaten by carnivorous animals to promote body growth?
Jasmine sighed: "No wonder I can't do anything to deal with those ferocious beasts in the water. They are all rough-skinned and fleshy. Except for self-exploding fire thunder, all attack and witchcraft can't break the defense. It turns out that they have eaten something good!
" This sentence immediately triggered Dalton's sad past.
He, Andrea, Lutz Berry, and Bamir Balves were crushed and ran away in panic precisely because they could not break through the defenses of the six giant beasts, and were finally blocked in the valley.
There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.
If Link hadn't come to the rescue, he would have been eliminated.
Link couldn't help but recall the situation when he and Iris worked together to lure away the six-headed beast.
Iris threw so many self-exploding fire thunders of various types and types, but they didn't even explode the skin of the giant beast.
That level of firepower is almost the same as the firepower used by Tracy Lucia to bombard the mountain col.
Even if Link wore the "Defender 3202" suit and continued to "double cast", "continuous cast", "parallel cast" and use water shield, he still couldn't withstand it.
If you don't "die" on the spot, you will definitely be seriously injured.
Based on various signs, Link also tends to agree with Meade Valente's guess.
So, here comes the problem again.
Link pressed his hands down slightly, signaling everyone to stop whispering.
After calming down, Link asked: "Assuming that Mead's guess is true, the reason why carnivorous animals are generally huge is that they eat the corpses of the dead gods in this world. Then,
this phenomenon, this reason, has nothing to do with this world Is there any connection between the two being on the verge of collapse?
Can it help or inspire us to reconstruct a sustainable ecological cycle system?"
These two questions were raised, which triggered a climax of low-pitched discussions among the people.
Lin En has a lot of thoughts and quick thinking, and once again responded first: "Boss, I think we can temporarily ignore the connection with the world that is on the verge of being broken, and focus on helping and inspiring us." "Yes. Yes.
"
Lin Ke had other thoughts in his mind, but he did not refute Lin En's remarks.
With approval, Linn continued: "Carnivorous animals are huge, and their daily consumption naturally increases, and the quantity and quality of food they need to eat immediately increases.
This breaks the original ecological cycle.
The number of herbivorous animals must have dropped sharply. period.
The surviving herbivorous animals were forced to evolve in order to survive longer.
This also required consumption of energy and nutrients, so they had to eat more grass. The
ecological vicious cycle further deepened.
In addition, since the reason for the huge size of carnivorous animals They ate the corpses of the gods in this world. So, what about the plants?
Didn’t the plants absorb flesh and blood?
I think they did.
At least some of it does. After Ezio
heard this, he immediately asked in a low voice: "Then, how to explain that herbivorous animals generally do not undergo drastic changes in body size?" "
Lynn replied calmly:
"Plants that have absorbed the flesh and blood of the gods have evolved. For example, the original thornless plants have grown thorns, the short ones have become taller, the non-aggressive ones have become aggressive, and so on.
Many changes have made it impossible for those herbivorous animals to eat.
This is also the nature of plants to survive.
Herbivores lacked high-quality food sources and evolved much slower than carnivores and plants that directly absorbed the flesh and blood of the gods.
" What you said makes sense. " "
Ezio has a stubborn character. He was convinced and immediately admitted it.
Others also felt that Linn's statement had a certain logic.
Buck, who was talkative but had never intervened, then stood up and spoke:
"I think it can be seen from two aspects. At the same time, we try to reconstruct the ecosystem.
One is to cultivate herbivorous animals so that they have the ability to eat most plants, especially plants that have absorbed the flesh and blood of the gods and become special;
they also have a certain ability to escape from predators.
The second is to cultivate basic, unchanged plants. I remember that the boss had a 'paper' and mentioned a cross-breeding method that might be useful.
The food quality of herbivores has been changed from the bottom up, allowing their evolutionary speed to catch up with carnivores.
In this way, we can return to a balanced ecological cycle. "
Whether it is feasible or not is another matter. It needs to be verified again. At least it has something to say.
Bang bang bang bang...
Everyone else, including Link, applauded consciously, giving Buck a thumbs up for rarely excelling in serious matters.
Buck grinned. He smiled, a little proudly, and sat back.
Seeing that no one had any other thoughts or opinions to express, Link began to summarize and arrange the work.
"I synthesized everyone's thoughts, opinions, and guesses.
Then based on the comprehensive conclusion, I made the following arrangements.
If there are any omissions or errors, please feel free to put them forward and we will correct them together.
First, speed up the analysis of existing water samples, soil, and analysis and testing of biological specimens to find out the materials that have undergone special changes, analyze the reasons for the changes, and verify Mead's guess; if it is true that the corpses of the gods caused the enlargement of carnivorous animals, water
samples, soil, plants There cannot be any traces in specimens and animal specimens.
This is very important.
Then, various methods are used to cultivate common plants in order to meet the feeding needs of most herbivorous animals and provide sufficient energy and nutrition;
finally , reconstruct the ecosystem from three different directions.
The first is based on the improvement of plant 'genes', the second is based on the improvement of herbivorous animal 'genes', and the third is based on the devastating blow to carnivorous animals."
said , Link looked at Jasmine: "I will continue to work hard for you tomorrow and build another large laboratory."
"No problem."
Jasmine agreed readily.
"Buck, Linn, take Meade and Terry with you tomorrow, catch two big fish and fight to the death." "
Okay, boss."
"Ezio, Dijie, take Betty and continue today's experiment , be patient, take your time, we have plenty of time."
"Yes, boss. We will pay attention to adjust our mentality in time." "
Dalton, continue to be responsible for reconnaissance, and maintain attention and vigilance towards Lanny Taylor. If she appears by the river again, notify me immediately."
"Promise to complete the mission."
Jasmine noticed that Link had left out himself in his conversation, so she asked aloud: "What about you? Why are you going tomorrow? ?”
Link replied: "I'm going to go out to find someone to do something?"
"To find the crazy girl?"
Jasmine's face became slightly unnatural, and she bit her lower lip slightly with her teeth.
Link said calmly: "We are indeed going to find Iris. There are some things that we need to cooperate with the people in the North District to advance better." "Is it
important? Do we have to go find her?"
Jasmine couldn't help but ask again. .
"Then go ahead and pay attention to your safety."
After saying those words, she regretted a little and said,
"Remember to come back early."
