Chapter 265, Born in the Light and Yearning for Darkness
Centaurus galaxy AB star is tropical in the eastern hemisphere. Because this area receives direct sunlight from star B for a long time and because there is no autobiography, it is illuminated 24 hours a day. Although it is 4 astronomical units away from star B, the illumination time is too long , so the temperature here is much higher than other areas, with an average temperature of more than 20 degrees.

Coupled with sufficient precipitation, a very vast tropical rainforest has been formed here. Its area is dozens of times larger than the largest Amazon rainforest on earth, and it is a paradise for life.

In this vast tropical rainforest, the trees are very tall, and they are all the kind of trees with huge leaves that block out the sky and the sun. The top of the rainforest is sunny, but the bottom of the rainforest is bleak. The sun is completely blocked by layers of dense leaves.

Even when there is heavy rain, the bottom of the rainforest can be watertight, very dry and comfortable because of the layers of leaves composed of layers of huge leaves.

Because there is no autobiography, naturally there is no distinction between day and night, but animals and plants also need to rest, so at the bottom of this dense rainforest, this dark world has become a paradise for animals. Come rest at the bottom of this rainforest.

Animals that can survive in the rainforest are basically the strongest race on this planet, because the dark area is very precious to the entire planet, born in light and yearning for darkness.

At this time, the level of the rainforest, from high to low, is getting darker and darker. There are various animals inhabiting layers of dense forests. Some of them make holes in huge trees and live in comfortable caves. Some simply rolled up a large leaf and fell asleep peacefully.

Everything is peaceful, animals like to sleep in this dark environment, even plants have evolved special functions, the plants in the rainforest can be divided into two parts, one part is at the bottom, this part It can absorb sunlight and carry out photosynthesis. In addition, a part located at the bottom of the rainforest has evolved special leaves. This kind of leaves can rest in the dark environment at the bottom, similar to plants on the earth at night.

In this dense primeval rainforest, live the most powerful tribe on this planet, because only the most powerful tribe can occupy this geomantic treasure land. There are many animals and plants, so there is no need to worry about food at all. The darker bottom is a very good place to sleep. Naturally, only the most powerful tribe can occupy such a good place.

A huge tree with a diameter of hundreds of meters is a thousand meters high, covering the sky and the sun, covering an area of ​​more than ten kilometers. It would be unbelievable if such a huge tree were placed on the earth, but in this place It is not uncommon in a dense virgin rainforest, and it is even bigger.

This huge tree has a very long history, and the middle of its torso has already been hollowed out, and it has become the home of a powerful tribe with thousands of people.

This powerful tribe takes this tree as the core, and digs out countless spaces from the bottom of the tree to the top layer by layer. The people of the primitive tribe live freely and carefree in this paradise. There is no need to worry about creatures like the tribes on the prairie. In this dense virgin rainforest, there are plenty of berries to eat and animals to kill. Life is carefree.

In the sky of the rainforest, a spaceship galloped rapidly from the sky, hovering quietly above the rainforest.

"Tsk tsk, it's unbelievable that there are trees on this planet that can grow to such a huge extent, with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a height of thousands of meters, and the range covered by branches and leaves is more than ten kilometers."

In this flying saucer-shaped spaceship, Gu Feng looked at the huge tree in front of him with a look of shock in his eyes. Such a huge number is really beyond imagination.

"This tree is not the largest. According to our survey of this rainforest, the largest tree has a diameter of more than 400 meters and a height of more than 3000 meters. That is really terrifying."

Unwilling to be lonely, Tang Boyuan also followed Gu Feng down. Originally, Gu Feng was planning to go to the rainforest to capture some native animals and primitive aborigines, and then collect some plants to study the creatures on this planet. The most important thing is to study this planet. The planet's virus vaccine in order to prepare for the later immigration.

"Star AB has been illuminated by the star's light all the time, photosynthesis can go on forever, and the growth and development is indeed better than that of the earth. If you look closely, this tree can actually be divided into two parts."

"There is a layer of dense branches and leaves in the part below about 200 meters. This layer of branches and leaves is located at the bottom of the rainforest. These branches and leaves are used for dark reactions, and the huge canopy above is for photosynthesis. Most of the plants in this rainforest are like this, they can perform two functions at the same time, so they grow fast and they all grow so tall and scary."

Gu Feng nodded. As a biotechnology researcher, he could analyze these trees just by looking at them.

"Two reactions at the same time?"

Although Tang Boyuan studies astronomy, he also knows a little bit about biology. On the earth, plants absorb sunlight during the day to perform light reactions, and at night to perform dark reactions, but there is no night on this planet, so the plants in these rainforests Perform a dark reaction right at the bottom.

"Plants that have evolved to survive and can perform these two reactions at the same time are more suitable for the environment on AB star. If plants like ours on this planet come to this planet, it will definitely be difficult to adapt. On this planet, According to the plant samples we have collected, basically all of them have evolved this function."

"Although in grasslands and other areas, it seems that the grass is not much different from that on the earth, but the roots of these plants have also evolved a part that can perform dark reactions."

"Even on this planet, the populations that can make their own populations thrive are basically concentrated in this dense rainforest, because the bottom of the rainforest is dimly lit, allowing them to rest well."

"The animals and plants on our earth like sunny and warm places, but the animals and plants on this planet like dark and cold places, quietly opposite."

Gu Feng continued to explain with a smile. On the other side, the spaceship was quietly suspended in the air, laser beams shot out from the spaceship, and soon the rain forest came down, and countless leaves, branches, etc. fell down one after another. Going down, countless sleeping animals were disturbed, and an oval area was cleared.

The spaceship continued to descend slowly, and the original appearance of the rainforest was revealed to everyone. Layers of primitive rainforest are like kingdoms. Among these huge numbers, various The animals flashed in panic and disappeared into the sun.

On the branches and branches of the trees, there are all kinds of fruits and berries densely packed. There are giant fruits as big as a round table, and they are also densely clustered like watermelons like grapes. Everything here stands out. The word "big" is added, and fruits, berries, etc. are many times larger than those on the earth.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

A group of bee-like creatures, half of their nests were just swept away by the laser. At this time, seeing the spaceship slowly descending, these bee creatures as big as sparrows began to swarm up, with long poisonous needles constantly He stabbed at the hard outer shell of the spaceship, fearless of death.

"Tsk tsk, I'm drooling when I see these fruits, I don't know if I can eat them, and this bee's nest is so huge, it's almost like a hill. Do you think there will be royal jelly in it? Like, I think the taste must be good."

While drooling, Tang Boyuan looked at all kinds of colorful fruits, berries, etc. around him, and saw the bee nests glowing with golden luster, making his mouth water even more.

I have been traveling in a spaceship for nearly 5 months. Naturally, what I eat can only be said to meet the daily energy needs, etc., not to mention the taste, etc. As for the fruit, I have already eaten it, so look at it now It is inevitable to drool when seeing all kinds of fruits.

"Why don't we collect some and take them back for inspection, and then disinfect them. I think we should be able to find some edible fruit varieties."

Gu Feng is about the same as Tang Boyuan at this time, he has already been a little tired of eating the food on the spaceship, and he also wants to improve his own food at this time, although it is the first time to eat fruits with special-shaped balls, and he is a bit the first to eat It feels like a crab, but there is a first time for everything. If you want to settle on this planet in the future, you will have to try it sooner or later.

"Plucking, picking, and the honey must not be let go. These are all natural and wild honeys. Look at the color, tsk tsk, golden yellow, golden yellow. Such a huge hive must be able to collect a lot of royal jelly."

Tang Boyuan nodded repeatedly, looking like a foodie.

The robotic arm on the spacecraft slowly stretched out, and began to pick various fruits, berries, nuts, etc. from the trees, and prepared to bring them back to the "Kyushu" spacecraft for inspection first, and then use it to improve everyone meals.

When the spaceship slowly approached the huge hive like a hill, the bees that had already become very crazy began to jump on the spaceship like crazy, but all this was in vain, and they couldn't even stay on the spaceship. At the next trace, I can only watch helplessly as the mechanical arm on the spaceship keeps cutting away the honey I have worked so hard to collect.
