Chapter 95 Survival Game
After distributing sunflowers, Jiang Ning went to the laboratory in the Botanical Department building. She wanted to see what the unique red component in the growth agent was.
As for the people who came to the Botanical Department dormitory in the past two days, she had no idea.
She was doing an experiment when the Star Brain suddenly rang.
Jiang Ning stopped what she was doing and took a look. It was Wei Shengyu who opened it.
Because she agreed to be Wei Shengyu's driver, Jiang Ning did not block her messages in the past two days.
The video was connected.
"Are you still in the laboratory?" Wei Shengyu frowned. The person in the picture had heavy dark circles under his eyes and his hair was a little messy.
Jiang Ning told her where he was and asked her to come to the Botanical Department laboratory to find her if she had anything.
"What's up?" Jiang Ning's voice was a little hoarse. She turned the video aside and was still busy with her own things.
"Tomorrow is the third stage of the freshman competition. I was afraid you would forget, so I came to remind you." Wei Shengyu said.
Jiang Ning paused. If Wei Shengyu hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten. She turned her head and looked at her: "Thank you for reminding me. I know. I'll be back later."
After hanging up the call, she glanced at the test tube in her hand.
The day before yesterday, when she came back from Lao Yu, her mind was always occupied by the alien blood and the thing given by Ren Zhi. She began to suspect that the red component in the growth agent was a mixed alien blood or a heterogeneous catalyst, and she specially asked Wei Shengyu to secretly buy a bottle back.
But the experimental results show that the red component has nothing to do with those two things, and even the psychic catalyst and the alien blood are not the same thing.
They just happen to be red in color.
The psychic catalyst stimulates the human brain to stimulate the mental power in advance, and at the cost of burning the vitality, it allows the person's mental power level to reach the maximum in a short period of time, but after that, the person will die because his life is exhausted. The
effect of the growth regulator is actually similar to that of the psychic catalyst, but the difference is that it acts on plants and is controlled by federal law, so the effect of the growth regulator on the market is more gentle and will not exhaust the vitality of the plant itself.
She thinks there are still similarities between the two.
Jiang Ning recorded the results of the experiment in the experimental record. Her eyes moved, and then she raised her hand to summon three milder plants. She dripped a drop of the growth regulator concentrate on the root of one of the plants, and dripped the extracted red component and the one without red component on the remaining two plants.
She waited for about two minutes. The growth status of the three plants was different. Among them, the one with only red components grew the slowest. This also indirectly proved that the red component was not the key to affecting plant growth. In this case,
what is its function?
Jiang Ning swept the mixed beast blood on the side. Wei Shengyu got it directly from Lao Yu. It was original. Even through the bottle, the unpleasant smell still lingered around her nose.
She dripped it directly on the plant.
Untreated alien blood has a certain degree of contamination. Direct contact will increase the concentration of contamination. When the concentration of contamination reaches a certain amount, it will cause mutations.
After waiting for about half an hour, she tested the contamination concentration of three plants. This time, she was surprised to find that the plants with red components could effectively isolate the contamination.
This is good news. Although she is not sure what the red component is, it at least proves that the growth regulator produced by Wanwusheng Company is fine.
If the production volume is large enough and all of it is used on the plants in the contaminated area, it may help the evolution of the contaminated area.
At this point in the experiment, there is no need to delve into it. Since it is something that benefits the Federation, Wanwusheng Company may have added some patents or something like that. It is nothing but a fool's dream for her to challenge the credit of an entire team alone.
After the experiment was over, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
She returned to the dormitory in the dark. The third stage of the competition was a survival competition. She needed to go back and have a good rest and save some energy to participate in tomorrow's competition.
After two competitions, the freshmen already had some experience.
On the day of the competition, the five people in the dormitory area of the Department of Botany went to the gathering place happily. The happiest among them was Xia Shi.
Xia Shi's performance in the previous competition was just barely enough, and he happened to be the last freshman to advance.
"Are you very confident?" Simon couldn't help but glance at Xia Shi. The expression on his face was too dazzling.
"No." Xia Shi chuckled and explained, "I know that with my strength, it's a miracle to reach the third stage. I'm happy even if I don't advance."
He can achieve the current results thanks to his extremely relaxed mentality.
Simon envied his mentality. She had been nervous since the beginning of the competition. She was afraid that she would not perform well and would regret it.
Arriving at the gathering square, Feng Yanzi introduced the rules of the competition as usual.
In general, the third stage of the competition is no longer for students to find monsters by themselves. Monsters will actively appear and attack students. In addition, a safe zone is set up for the third stage of the competition. The safe zone will gradually shrink as time goes by. After seven days, freshmen who are still alive in the safe zone are considered to have successfully advanced.
Although there are safe zones, it does not mean that there are no monsters in the safe zones. Students who seek rescue in the same way will also be considered eliminated.
The N001 contaminated area has been taken over by the Yuanxia Group, so the soldiers who came to protect the safety of the students in the stadium this time are still led by Cui Lai Te.
And this time the soldiers have entered the stadium before the students, and have checked the stadium in advance, and did not find any abnormalities.
After the team leader and all departments confirmed one side, they began to let the students get on the bus in batches and prepare to set off for the competition area.
Xia Shi and Jiang Ning were assigned to a car, and the two sat side by side. Xia Shi said to Jiang Ning: "I heard that the Z03 area of the stadium for this competition is a man-made contaminated area."
"What is a man-made contaminated area?" It was the first time Jiang Ning heard this term.
"It is to simulate a real pollution source and artificially create a pollution source, and then continuously observe its impact on the surrounding environment and organisms." Xia Shi explained.
Jiang Ning seemed to understand: "So this time the stadium is actually an experimental subject?"
"You can say that." Xia Shi nodded, "If the research is fruitful, maybe humans will understand the pollution source a little better."
Jiang Ning had never been to school before, and she had no idea what was taught in the interstellar enlightenment. She usually only read professional books, and she had no idea of the Federation's current control over the contaminated area. However, the fact that
humans could create pollution sources was completely beyond her previous understanding.
"Are the monsters in there also man-made?" Jiang Ning asked him.
Xia Shi thought for a moment and came up with a new word: "semi-artificial."
He explained: "The aliens inside have programmed genes designed by researchers, but they are not completely created by humans. As we all know, biological mutation is determined by their own pollution concentration. They have lived in the polluted area for too long, and it is difficult not to mutate."
Jiang Ning nodded. When the pollution concentration in the human body reaches a certain amount, it will also degenerate into a polluted body. Every time they come out of the stadium, they have to do a physical examination.
She suddenly remembered the days on the M412 star. Although everyone was so poor that even survival became a problem, they had to wait a long time after going to the polluted area before going again, which was also to prevent the pollution concentration in the body from exceeding the standard.
As the two were talking, the flying car they were riding suddenly stopped.
Jiang Ning looked out the window. It was still a desert, with ochre-red mountains stretching out in a row, very much in the style of Red Star.
Everyone got off the flying car and reorganized themselves.
Then, a teacher next to them handed them a bracelet with a chip.
"This is a teleportation bracelet. Everyone will be teleported to a different location after entering the competition venue. You will also need it to be teleported out of the competition venue after the competition. Keep it well and don't lose it." The teacher said.
Jiang Ning raised her hand and looked at the bracelet carefully. She had seen this when she was rushing forward in Xinghuo. It was said that the cost was not cheap. Semill spent a lot of money this time.
Unlike the one provided by Xinghuo, the one issued by Semill Academy was more expensive because it also came with a map of the competition area and a location.
"The location of the safe zone will change. Please make sure you are in the safe zone at the end of the competition." Feng Yanzi stood on the podium, her image was the same as usual, "The third stage of the competition has officially begun. I wish you all a good result in the competition."
As her voice fell, small teleportation arrays lit up under everyone's feet.
Because the teleportation position is completely random, before the students enter the venue, even the teachers in the judges' seats do not know the specific location of the students.
Everyone in the arena took their positions, Feng Yanzi sat back in the main judges' seat, and then the pictures taken by the micro camera robot were transmitted back to the judges' seats.
…
Jiang Ning came back to her senses from the dizziness of the teleportation array. She raised her hand and glanced at the current position displayed on the bracelet. There was a large green circle on the map. The green circle represented the safe area, and she was not in the safe area.
She was still quite a distance away from the safe area.
The safe area would change, and its range would shrink as time went by. If she kept chasing the safe area, it would be a waste of time and energy.
The safe area was not necessarily safe.
This was what Feng Yanzi said before the game started.
There was no difference between it and the non-safe area, so she didn't have to go there now.
She only needed to stay in the arena until the last day, and after the safe area locked the last area, she could go to the safe area.
This was the strategy Jiang Ning made for herself.
There is no supply station for this competition, and all supplies are provided by airdrops.
Therefore, in the survival competition, supplies are the key.
There are a total of 1,000 freshmen who have advanced to the third stage of the competition. According to the calculation of one airdrop box for every 100 people, at least ten airdrop boxes are needed at a time.
The promotion ratio is still half, and the difficulty of advancing is not great.
Jiang Ning began to think about how to get more supplies.
