After a lengthy explanation lasting several minutes, Lü Yongchang thoughtfully examined the "incident video".
"You mean, the roots of these giant trees can attack living organisms like animals?"
Zhu Ziwen nodded quickly and affirmed, "I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Professor, do you remember the unusual tremors during the first landing operation?"
"At that time, detectors in various locations detected abnormal vibrations almost simultaneously."
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly, his brows furrowing slightly: "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Zhu Ziwen raised his hand and scratched his forehead in a little anxiety.
He wasn't a biology major, so when it came to specialized knowledge, he was completely lost.
“I feel that these giant trees might be alive… no, I can’t say that, I should say they are conscious.”
"They can pass through..."
"Tsk!" Zhu Ziwen clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Professor, I'm not sure how to express this..."
"You mean these giant trees are sentient beings with consciousness and thought, and can communicate with each other in real time, right?"
A familiar voice rang out from the side.
The next moment, Academician Mao Zhengzhi moved closer to the camera.
His eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement: "Interesting, that's an interesting point of view!"
"Plant civilization, I envisioned this kind of life form a long time ago."
"I never expected to run into you here!"
Lu Yongchang frowned deeply: "Civilization?"
"Can these giant trees be considered a form of civilization?"
"Professor, don't think like that." Mao Zhengzhi said excitedly as he flipped through the video materials sent back by Zhu Ziwen, "What's wrong with plants? Can't plants develop intelligent civilizations?"
"Intelligence has never been the privilege of animals."
"Think about it carefully."
"During the first landing operation, the probe began sampling work after successfully landing."
"Because the specific circumstances of each region are different, the sampling process is also different."
"But the abnormal vibrations occurred at the same time!"
"If these tremors are caused by these giant trees, what does that mean?"
"Communication network?" Lu Yongchang's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice.
“No, no, no, it’s not just about communication networks.” Mao Zhengzhi held up a finger and shook it gently. “The key point is not that it’s global, but that it’s simultaneous.”
Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang immediately realized what was happening.
He exclaimed in surprise: "No-delay communication?"
Quantum communication technology?!
"That's right!" Mao Zhengzhi clapped his hands excitedly, "They may have already mastered quantum communication technology!"
"Does this not qualify as civilized?"
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath to suppress the intense shock in his heart.
According to the classification of the technology tree, quantum communication technology is located at the top of the technology tree of a first-level civilization.
In other words, once this conjecture is confirmed, the giant tree on this lost planet is at the very least an intelligent being that is about to enter the second level of civilization!
How can you prove it?
Mao Zhengzhi's words piqued Lü Yongchang's curiosity.
He couldn't imagine how these plants achieved quantum communication!
"Proof?" Mao Zhengzhi raised his hand, gently touched his chin, and began to think carefully.
Suddenly, he called out.
"That guy... Zhu Ziwen, right?"
"Luckily you were on the Lost Star. Tell those explorers not to mess around. If they anger these giant trees, the consequences could be unimaginable."
"Given the way those barbarians have always acted, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the end..."
Zhu Ziwen's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded hastily.
While sending messages to Xia Zhou and the others, he turned his head to look at the huge "helipad".
Is it possible that they have angered these giant trees?
"As for the proof method..." Mao Zhengzhi gestured towards the huge holographic projection in the distance, "The modeling of the entire planet's underground will still take a long time, but the modeling work of the underground in the Arctic region is almost complete."
"If I'm not mistaken, the root systems of these giant trees must be extremely extensive."
"Furthermore, many of their root systems are interconnected, which should be their communication network."
...
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Without orders from Lü Yongchang and others, the planetary exploration team could only remain in place and wait for further instructions.
As day passed, night fell.
Inside the Earth.
Lü Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi stared solemnly at the giant holographic image in front of them.
As the massive holographic 3D model gradually appeared, an exceptionally complex world slowly unfolded before their eyes.
On the ground, a giant tree, several meters tall, soars into the sky!
At its feet, countless saplings hundreds of meters tall surround it, forming a lush forest.
The camera gradually pans down.
100 meters underground.
Here, almost everywhere you look, there are tangled tree roots.
Rather than saying that the soil was mixed with tree roots, it would be more accurate to say that the tree roots were mixed with a little soil.
According to the data transmitted back by the detector, the diameter of most tree roots is between 0.5m and 2m.
It is easy to tell that these "small" tree roots belong to those "saplings" that are hundreds of meters tall.
From a distance, these fine, dense tree roots look like a tangled mess, intertwined with each other.
But as the camera zoomed in, Lü Yongchang was astonished to discover that the arrangement of these tree roots was extremely orderly!
Yes, that's order!
