Chapter 59 Chapter 059【VIP】
Mingzhu had no intention of lying to anyone, mainly because there was no need! Anyway, until Taoyuan Base reached level 5, there were no plans to open branch bases.
Firstly, Mingzhu is alone and doesn't want to make himself too tired. Secondly, it's the same thing, he doesn't want to be too tired.
To be frank, I'm not from this world. I can do what I can, but if it puts myself in danger, I won't do it.
"Then boss, you have to work hard." Fu Chun said with a smile again.
"When will you return?"
"Tomorrow. Stay here tonight."
"I'm conducting an experiment, so it's not very safe here," Mingzhu said clearly. "It's okay during the day, but at night, I'm not sure I can protect all of you."
Now even Zhang Junfang couldn't help but ask Mingzhu what kind of experiment he was doing.
Mingzhu: "It's to test the effect of the nutrient solution on the mutated plants."
“???”
"Didn't you see any green along the way?" Mingzhu asked back. After getting a definite answer, Mingzhu described his experiment in detail.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junfang and Fu Chun immediately suggested that they also wanted to experiment to see whether it was due to individual differences or the relationship with the nutrient solution.
"I'll stay!" Zhang Junfang said. "Fu Chun, take the others back."
Fu Chun actually wanted to stay and let Zhang Junfang lead the team back. But Zhang Junfang spoke first, so Fu Chun could only express his understanding with regret.
"Rest here for an hour." Fu Chun shouted. "After an hour, we'll continue our journey back."
The hazards of floods and ground fissures are actually no worse than those of extreme cold weather, except that the temperature is mild and many means of transportation can be used.
The reason they were moving a bit slowly was not only because City R was quite far from the Taoyuan base, but also because the road was full of potholes and cracks. If one wasn't careful, they could easily end up in a ditch with both the driver and the vehicle.
"Don't go out carelessly after you return," Mingzhu suddenly said. "In the next few days, the ground fissures will become very frequent. This is the planet's self-adjustment. When it stabilizes, the ground fissures will disappear."
Zhang Junfang nodded.
Mingzhu said again. "Don't worry, I believe it will be stable in a few months."
“This is the boss.”
Fu Chun raised his thumb and smiled brightly.
“Don’t praise me!”
Mingzhu hummed, but didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to talk about his own experimental problems. In short, the results of the experiment would have an impact on the blue planet.
Finally, he said that his abilities were more inclined towards scientific research, and that he couldn't interfere too much with the world.
"Just think of it as a restriction imposed by Heaven on foreign populations." Mingzhu made no secret of his alien identity and even proudly stated that he had been promoted to the rank of colonel in his previous life just for killing bugs.
"insect?"
"Ah, it's an alien creature that can eat planets." Mingzhu frowned and recalled, "It is said that the most advanced bugs can look exactly like humans. But I have been on fringe planets for decades and have never seen any human-like bugs."
"It feels like a zombie."
“There’s no comparison.”
Mingzhu added, "Anyway, that's how it is. Now the Blue Planet is also my world. It's a good choice to do my part to make the Blue Planet a better place."
"Thank you, boss."
Zhang Junfang said this with gratitude, and Mingzhu shuddered immediately.
"Hey, should I say you're welcome?"
Mingzhu smiled, and everyone moved on to other things. Before they knew it, an hour had passed. Fu Chun and the team left, and Zhang Jun, under Mingzhu's guidance, began planting trees.
Not much was planted either.
This went on until dark. When the bright moonlight fell on the ground, all the plants and seeds planted underwent earth-shaking changes.
As Mingzhu had expected, moonlight containing special substances is an important element for the rapid growth of mutated plants and is indispensable.
The nutrient solution that Mingzhu bought from the inter-time and space store, which was used to add nutrition to crops in the farmland, has played a role in controlling the negative emotions of the mutated plants.
It sounds a bit fantastical, but the actual effect is just like that. Because the mutant plant seeds without nutrient solution, after being ripened and grown rapidly by the moonlight, are extremely aggressive, but the mutant plants with nutrient solution do not have this attack power.
Mingzhu and Zhang Junfang worked together to strangle all the highly aggressive mutated plants and even destroyed the bodies alive.
"It seems that nutrient solution is indispensable." Mingzhu said solemnly.
Zhang Junfang nodded solemnly. "Indeed, Boss, this experiment is very meaningful."
It's impossible for the Blue Planet to be devoid of other species besides humans. Without greenery, the entire planet would be as good as dead, and humans alone would only be increasingly on the path to extinction.
They are all part of the planet's evolution. But they still have selfish motives and are not a threat to humans.
From this perspective, the outbreak of floods and ground fissures will not only submerge most of the world, but also cause disaster for human beings.
Either they rot or become food for mutated animals. In short, zombies are dangerous to humans when the flood comes.
Then there was the ground fissure. After the ground fissure occurred, not only was there a flood, but the surrounding area was also affected.
All the living things around here, including zombies.
Now that the flood has receded, the surface of the earth is devastated. Not only have 90% of the mutated plants and animals disappeared, but even the zombies have.
It is very safe to walk outside nowadays. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to always pay attention to the crisscrossing cracks in the ground.
Some cracks in the ground will close together on both sides, while others will tear wider.
The changes in the front were not so bad, as Mingzhu could handle them with caution. But the changes in the back, if one was not careful, would be carried away by the widening rifts and settle in the center of the earth.
But it was quite unsightly to see it all bare. Even though the moonlight had a special substance that could prompt the mutated plants to grow rapidly, the strange thing was that after a while, many places were still bare.
This is actually very easy to understand. The most aggressive mutant plants have an xenophobic instinct. The more aggressive the mutant plant, the more domineering and xenophobic it is.
Often, only one mutant plant is allowed to exist within a hundred-mile radius. If many mutant plants grow rapidly together under the influence of the bright moonlight, fierce battles will inevitably ensue. It's like raising a Gu, where many Gu insects fight each other, and the one that survives is called the Gu King.
When the floods receded and cracks appeared in the ground, the world became less green, but it was only temporary. As time passed, more and more mutated plants would appear.
Many mutant animals and mutant plants actually have a symbiotic relationship. As long as the mutant plants gradually appear, the mutant animals will also appear.
But the same thing goes, 90% of the mutated animals were destroyed by the ground fissure along with the flood. Even if mutated animals appear later, they will probably be different from the mutated animals before the flood + ground fissure.
The only thing to be thankful for is that this world will not have a terrifying race like the Zerg. Otherwise, the entire blue planet would not be enough for the Zerg to ravage for a month.
"If you plant saplings and nutrient solution purchased from the Taoyuan base, they will remain normal and won't mutate. If you plant saplings/seeds picked up from outside without using nutrient solution, they will definitely grow into mutated plants that are extremely hostile to humans."
"Then we must have nutrient solution!" Zhang Junfang thought about it and said, "Boss, is there enough nutrient solution at Taoyuan Base?"
"Honestly, not quite enough." The Trans-Space Mall has a daily purchase limit. Only so many are sold each day. If you're lucky, you might find some during the 'midnight special limited-time sale.' But there's also a purchase limit, so after careful calculation, the maximum is 10,000 per day. If used on farmland, it can affect 10,000 plots of land simultaneously.
Unfortunately, farmland construction is limited. Only when it reaches level 5, the top level, can unlimited farmland be built. So now...
Mingzhu said with a slightly irritated look, "We can provide 9,000 bottles of nutrient solution per day. If we provide more, we really won't be able to do it. After all, we have to ensure that the farmland has enough nutrient solution."
Nutrient solutions/additives for agricultural and human use are different. Furthermore, agricultural nutrient solutions are for agricultural use only. Whether applied to farmland or trees, flowers, or plants, they are for agricultural use only and cannot be produced by Mingzhu itself.
The candles used by people are produced by Mingzhu itself, with a daily output of 200,000 candles, but the demand still exceeds the supply.
"Take your time, don't rush. We can't plant seedlings all over the world at once." Mingzhu probably said it lazily, but that was the reality. There wasn't enough nutrient solution for the crops, so they could only plant at a rate of 9,000+ per day.
"All mutant plants are xenophobic. The difference lies in the degree of their xenophobia towards humans. I tend to favor the low level if I'm facing a mutant plant with a high xenophobia. Powerful mutants can come and go freely, but what about ordinary people?"
"The zombie threat is no longer a big deal," Zhang Junfang said. "The real threat comes from natural disasters and anomalous plants and animals. We should learn how to coexist with nature and live in harmony with anomalous plants and animals."
"That's quite difficult," Mingzhu said suddenly. "How about this? When I get back, I'll organize a promotion. Limit everyone to buying 10 bottles of (agricultural) nutrient solution, and have everyone plant trees. It doesn't matter whether they're ordinary plants or mutant plants."
“Sure!”
"Well, that's it for now," Mingzhu said. "When I get back tomorrow, I'll do some research and speculate on the natural disasters that may occur next time I return."
Zhang Junfang: “…”
"There are also natural disasters." Zhang Junfang was stunned, at a loss.
"Yes, and there are natural disasters." Mingzhu chose to honestly tell the truth about the evolution of the blue planet.
"In a few decades, the entire Azure Planet will return to stability," Mingzhu continued. "Don't think this process is slow. In fact, compared to the changes in the galaxy, this evolutionary speed is quite fast. Furthermore, planetary upgrades often fail for some reason, and as far as I know, such failures are common. As for Azure Planet... His chance of success is around 70%."
"Seventy percent?"
"Yes, 70 percent." Mingzhu said with a smile, "Don't think it's too little. This probability is already very high."
"Indeed." After a pause, Zhang Junfang asked Yi Mingzhu about his next plans. "Boss, are you going back tomorrow? Or will you continue planting trees?"
"Go back. I know everything I need to know."
Mingzhu smiled and said, "By the way, have you ever thought about getting a prosthetic arm for your Yu arm?"
"I've thought about it," Zhang Junfang said, "but the quality of current prosthetic limbs is not good, and they're hard to get, so I've never gotten one."
"Here's how, if you give me 10,000 Starlight Coins, I'll give you a robotic arm with a small rocket launcher built into it. It's highly sensitive and aggressive."
In Mingzhu's previous life, many people would not choose to lie in the medical cabin to regenerate their broken limbs, but would choose to implant mechanical devices in their arms to further enhance their combat effectiveness.
Sometimes, even if there is nothing wrong with it, some people will also transform themselves into robots. Mingzhu does not like to transform himself into a robot.
Although his species had changed, Mingzhu had no intention of transforming himself into a robot. However, he did have some knowledge of how to make a biomechanical arm, and he had the materials to do so in his space button.
