Chapter 195 Research on Luminous Plants

Song Anmin also took some specimens of luminous plants from the table, and then explained to them: "If you want to explain this issue to the lord, you must first explain the types of luminous plants."

"Under normal circumstances, plants can emit light, usually in two forms. One is that luminescent substances, such as fluorescent substances, are attached to their surfaces. This form of luminescence should be the easiest to understand."

Ning Ze nodded.

"This second luminous mode is that this plant can absorb some luminous substances from the soil through some of its own mechanisms, so that it can achieve the purpose of luminescence."

Ning Ze asked: "Then how do you think this luminous plant will emit light?"

Song Anmin said: "I feel that the light-emitting mode of this luminous plant does not fall into these two. If I am not wrong, the light-emitting mode of this luminous plant is a more advanced way."

"Why do you see it?" Ning Ze said.

Song Anmin said: "I wonder if the lord still remembers that I once said that luminescence can be divided into spontaneous light and controllable light. After my research, I found that this kind of luminous plant can first determine whether it belongs to Controllable light.”

Ning Ze did not choose to speak, but waited for his next words.

Song Anmin suddenly took out a light bulb with some randomly twisted wires connected to it. It was obviously something he assembled himself.

Under his control, the lamp instantly bloomed with light, and then Song Anmin put the light bulb close to a potted plant on the table, which happened to be the kind of luminous plant planted in the potted plant.

At first, the luminous plant did not move at all, but as Song Anmin shook the electric lamp, the luminous plant suddenly emitted light and became more and more prosperous.

And when he turned off the light, the luminous plant still emitted light, and it tended to get brighter and brighter. After a few minutes, the luminous plant suddenly went out.

Ning Ze was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Looking at it like this, the light-emitting pattern of this plant is somewhat similar to absorbing light energy and thus releasing light energy itself."

"No." Song Anmin shook his head, and then took out another light bulb.

"The previous light bulb had a power of fifty watts, but the power of this light bulb has reached two hundred watts, which can emit a brighter light. The lord will know something fishy when he sees it later."

Out of curiosity, Ning Ze also looked at it silently.

I saw that when Song Anmin lit up the two-hundred-watt light bulb in his hand, the luminous plant in the pot also emitted light instantly, and became brighter and brighter. But strangely, when the light emitted by the luminous plant reached a certain level, After that, it suddenly went out.

"Is this because there is not enough energy?" Ning Ze said.

But when Song Anmin replaced the previous [-]-watt light bulb, the luminous plant emitted light again. And when he changed it back to the [-]-watt light bulb, this time the luminous plant seemed to feel inferior, not even the slightest ray of light. None of it emanated.

Song Anmin explained: "Seeing this, Lord Lord should have some ideas. This thing does not release light energy by absorbing light energy at all. Of course, it cannot be so absolute. After all, there is still some possibility. But this small experiment actually illustrates a more important key point.”

"There is some consciousness in this plant!"

Ning Ze was a little surprised when he heard that the existence of consciousness in plants is not difficult to understand. After all, there are many weird things in this world, but it is a bit too much to come to such a conclusion through this small experiment. Too hasty.

But Song Anmin seemed to have anticipated what he was thinking, so he added: "The reason why we can reach such a conclusion, your lord may as well listen to my analysis."

"If this kind of plant has consciousness, then there will be a certain amount of emotional feedback. Thinking back to the previous scene, when I took out the small fifty-watt light bulb, this luminous plant was emitting light from beginning to end, and even emitted light. It's brighter than a light bulb."

"When I first took out the two-hundred-watt light bulb, the luminous plant also emitted light for the first time, but soon, it went out in an instant. Before it went out, the luminous plant emitted light. The maximum brightness is far less than a two-watt bulb, and it can’t even keep up with the brightness of a fifty-watt bulb.”

"So, we might as well attach some possible emotions to this plant, such as the psychology of comparison. If this is the case, then the logic of the entire experiment will initially work."

Ning Ze was stunned for a while. Although he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find anything to refute him.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this statement really works. If this plant has a comparison mentality, then when it sees the fifty-watt light bulb for the first time, this luminous plant wants to be brighter than the light bulb, but when it sees it When the light bulb reaches [-] watts, it emits light faster, as if to express its determination to show off. But after a short period of trying, it seems that it realizes that its light is not enough to exceed this brightness, so it takes the initiative to extinguish the light. .

So much so that when the two-hundred-watt bulb was turned on for the second time, the luminous plant no longer emitted light.

"Keep talking." Ning Ze said.

"This experiment can be explained clearly. This is all I can think of for the time being. Of course, there is another study that can support this."

"Through our daytime observation and research, we found that the place where these luminous plants grow is in a dark cave. First of all, we can rule out the possibility that these luminous plants absorb light energy and release light energy."

Ning Ze also agrees with this, logically speaking it is so.

Song Anmin added: "In addition, we also discovered that the luminescence of these plants has incomplete unity." "What does incomplete unity mean?" Ning Ze asked in confusion.

Song Anmin said: "To put it more specifically, if these luminous plants are planted together, they will either all light up together or none at all. The disunity is reflected in the fact that when these luminous plants light up, they are not exactly the same. Time proceeds, but shines in sequence.”

"This may involve the light-sensing ability of these strange plants. From the experiment with this light bulb just now, it can also be seen that this plant can sense the light source, but I feel that the truth of the matter may not be that simple."

Ning Ze seemed to understand some of it, but he decided to listen to what professionals had to say about this aspect of research.

Ningze still attaches great importance to luminous plants. After all, this may solve the lighting problems in the territory in the future.

There is only so much diesel storage, and the generator will not never be damaged, and more and more energy will be needed in the subsequent territory. If these luminous plants can replace electric lights, they can play a lighting role in the territory. , then you can also save a lot of diesel supplies.

Song Anmin suddenly said: "I wonder if the lord has ever thought about a problem. If these luminous plants only have simple photosensitivity, the speed of light is almost impossible for such distances of tens of meters, hundreds of meters or even tens of thousands of meters." It can be conveyed in an instant.”

"And these luminous plants only achieve the effect of lighting up in sequence through simple light sensitivity, so this is somewhat untenable. After all, even the human eye can see the order of lighting up in sequence. "

"So my subordinates speculate that if these luminous plants have consciousness, then why they form disunity when they emit light is because they need to analyze some information from these light sources, and they are also like animals that live in groups, forming A certain system has been established, for example, the previous batch of luminous plants needs to issue a certain message before the next step can be taken."

Hearing this point of view, Ning Ze couldn't help but sigh that Song Anmin's imagination was quite big. Being able to deduce this conclusion showed that he must have some unusual ideas in his mind. However, this point of view is logically It works, but some key evidence is still missing.

But Song Anmin continued to say something astonishing: "In fact, I have an intuition that among these luminous plants, there must be a leader-like existence. Whether or not to emit light is led by this leader, thus guiding other luminous plants to make decisions. reaction."

"If this is true, perhaps it will be much simpler to use these luminous plants. As long as we can find the heads of these luminous plants, or directly cultivate the leader plants, then we can easily control these luminous plants. "

Ning Ze couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that he thought there was anything wrong with what Song Anmin said, but that these conclusions were just conjectures at the moment and he didn't dare to take them too seriously.

Instead, he asked: "Do you have any inferences about the luminescence principle of these luminous plants?"

Song Anmin quickly said: "Regarding this point, my subordinates also have some speculations. First of all, based on some previous experiments and research, it is temporarily certain that the luminous principle of this kind of luminous plant will be quite special. It is most likely not to release light by absorbing the light source. It’s definitely not because some luminous substance has been absorbed or attached to the body.”

"Because if the luminous substance is a foreign substance, it will be uncontrollable to a certain extent, so I am more inclined to the possibility that this plant can absorb some strange substances from the soil, and their unique bodies form characteristics , and then convert this material into bioluminescence."

"The most classic one is the electric eel, which converts biological energy into electrical energy. If these luminous plants have consciousness, then they should be accurately classified as animals, so it is not impossible to achieve similar behaviors."

At this moment, Song Anmin suddenly took a sample of a luminous plant from the table. The sample had been dissected. He clamped the rhizome of the sample with two wooden boards, and then squeezed it out. some viscous liquid.

Ning Ze looked a little strange, but soon he saw Song Anmin apply the squeezed liquid on the surface of a luminous plant, and then brought the [-]-watt light bulb from before to light it.

The next moment, Ning Ze saw an incredible scene. The moment the luminous plant emitted light, the liquid coating its body surface also emitted light.

This was a bit interesting, it seemed to make the whole thing a lot easier, so that he could imagine some of the consequences.

Song Anmin said at this time: "Speaking of it, this is my biggest discovery about this luminous plant, and it is also the easiest conclusion to draw."

"The source of the light of these luminous plants lies in their juices. Even if they are separated from the body, they can still emit light. Moreover, the lord may wish to put his hand close to these juices."

Ning Ze did as he was told, and then had a strange experience. He felt that the entire luminous plant had no temperature at all, but the juices coated on its surface exuded a strong sense of heat.

And as Song Anmin moved the bulb closer to the juice, the greater the heat he could sense.

Song Anmin also took a deep breath at this time and said: "Although the current research on this strange luminous plant is still very basic, based on the current research data, I boldly speculate that the sap contained in these luminous plants, It may be able to replace diesel and other energy materials and become a new type of energy material.”

After hearing this conclusion, Ning Ze couldn't help but take a deep breath. I'm afraid no one needs to explain what energy means.

The types of energy are also very complex. Wind energy, thermal energy, light energy, etc. can all be said to be a kind of energy material, but it is not easy to utilize them. At least for the current territory, these cannot be used. Energy is used efficiently.

There are also many energy materials that are easier to use. For example, oil, alcohol, flammable ice, etc. are all good energy materials. Even if the technology tree is low, they can be used efficiently.

But so far, he has no knowledge of this type of energy, and he has never heard anyone talk about where oil has been discovered, let alone flammable ice.

"But even if the sap of this plant is an energy material, there are still several aspects that need to be considered if you want to use it. One is whether its energy conversion rate is efficient. This is the most important. If the conversion rate is too low, it will It’s not of much use.”

"The second is whether it can be easily processed into usable energy materials, but I am optimistic about this, because the fact that these plants can use this sap to emit light or even generate heat shows that it may have been used. These plants have been processed.”

The current news is generally optimistic, but Song Anmin's expression does not look relaxed: "However, whether this juice energy can be used also requires further research. At least we must first understand why it can emit heat and what its mechanism is. , whether there are other effects, these need to be known through follow-up research.”
