Minke's black technology

Chapter 199 Mushroom Control Device
Those who sat in and protested were surprised to see that the employees of Meow Star Technology were all dressed like firefighters, covered their entire bodies tightly, and held a spray made of tempered glass in their hands, passing through a special tube A black glass jar attached to the back.

Then they started spreading the mushroom spores...

"Puchi" sound!
Accompanied by the downward movement of the fully armed Meow Star employees, white water mist flew out of the glass spray at a high speed, and when the water mist flew halfway through the air, it had already turned into black raindrops.

These black rain-like things fell on the ground of the garbage island, and soon a bunch of small white mushrooms grew on it. They seemed to be enchanted, and they continued to grow upwards, and in a short while, the entire island All covered with small mushrooms.

Even if some of them were accidentally stained with black raindrops, at most it would only stain the outer protective clothing with a layer of black substance, but no one was seen injured by the mushroom spores.

This set of protective clothing is specially made of glass fiber, which can specifically restrain the growth of spores. Even if a liquid mixed with spores is poured on it, the spores cannot obtain sufficient nutrients to grow.

However, many people who protested against the big plan ran over, trying to take the risk of preventing them from spraying mushrooms. For such foolish behavior, the staff of Meow Star had no choice but to turn around and ignore it.

As long as they are properly controlled, the equipment on their bodies can control the exact landing point of the black raindrops. On such a large garbage island, they can always find an open space to spray mushroom spores.

If the other party is still entangled, then suspend your work first. Anyway, there are so many staff on the island, even if you can stop some people from working normally, you can't stop everyone.

The area of ​​the garbage island is really too large. Even if Meow Star Technology chooses to put the clean water algae in only a small area in the center, it is impossible to scatter 140 million square kilometers with spores.

The final shape of the mushroom island is also several square kilometers in size.

Such a large island cannot be defended by dozens of people. Besides, they found that Meow Star Technology sent more than ten teams to land on the island. In addition to this place, people also went to other places to sow mushrooms. .

After several days of hard work, the island with a size of three to four square kilometers was finally planted with mushrooms, and those who protested against the mushroom island plan also knew that they had failed completely.

Especially when they saw a huge mushroom growing in the center of the island, they could only admit that their protest had failed, and had no choice but to leave by boat.

The super mushroom spores were planted the day the employees landed on the island.

It started to grow almost at the same time as other trash mushrooms. At first, everyone's mushroom umbrellas grew at a similar rate. In just seven days, they all grew to nearly one meter high, and then the growth rate of the trash mushrooms began to slow down.

At this time, many mushrooms on the island have entered the mature stage, and mushroom cores have begun to appear, and then they will enter the decay stage, and eventually they will wither and die.

However, the growth rate of the super mushroom is still unabated, and it keeps growing upwards.

When the protesters left by boat, the super mushroom had grown to a height of three meters, while most of the mushrooms around it were only about one meter long. The towering mushroom umbrellas stretched out like canopies under the blue sky and white clouds.

In addition, this giant mushroom also has a thick root system like an arm, and a white and straight body like an obelisk.

When night falls, the large mushrooms on the island will emit white fluorescence, which can be seen even by people a few kilometers away.

The super mushroom grows extremely fast, and most of the other mushrooms have entered the mature stage within a month. At this time, its root system has spread to the entire island, and the island is completely stabilized through the strong root structure.

From then on, Mushroom Island is considered a complete floating island in the sea, even if it encounters a hurricane and a tsunami, there will be no problem.

However, at this time, the Mushroom Island is not yet completed, and a special device must be installed at the bottom of the Super Mushroom's torso. Only in this way can it accept remote control from outside humans.

The shape of the device is quite unique. It looks like a black ball the size of a basketball. The shell is made of special tempered glass. There are more than a dozen antenna-like metal branches extending from the bottom of it, which are used to receive signals and release current. The place.

The electric current used to stimulate and control the super mushroom is very weak and does not consume much power, but it must be embedded in the trunk of the mushroom, and it must be done before the super mushroom grows to 30 meters. Accessing the controls is a difficult task.

The black coating under the glass shell is a solar panel, which can absorb the fluorescence emitted by the super mushroom itself and convert it into electricity. There is also a high-energy battery full of electricity inside the ball.

In addition, there are some complicated electronic components and control chips. Only the current signal converted by a certain program can control the behavior of the super mushroom.

"It must be implanted on the trunk of the mushroom, and its roots must be carefully avoided, otherwise the metal part will definitely be affected!"

The supervisor who leads the team lectures the team members who are about to set off.

Although everyone has practiced several times beforehand and there are spare parts on board, he knows that it is best to succeed in this kind of thing once, because if the implantation fails for the first time, it is very likely that the super mushroom will develop a vigilance instinct. Had to find a better moment for a second attempt.

After all, this giant mushroom is no ordinary thing, it looks like a living thing!
"Yes, Director!"

"We'll be careful!"

All the people present understood that they had observed the super mushroom from a distance, and they knew how terrifying it was.

"If it really doesn't work, give up the mission and come back. Safety must come first!" The supervisor emphasized.

Super mushrooms are different from garbage mushrooms. They still maintain a very high growth rate, and their roots are still wriggling around the island, looking for garbage to digest and devour. In a few days, all the garbage in the nearby sea area is pulled to the island. piled up.

The super mushroom is like a huge piranha, constantly hunting garbage around, even if it cannot be digested temporarily, it will drag it to the island with its roots to hoard it like an animal winters.

If it weren't for the special protective clothing on their bodies, I'm afraid they might stimulate the eating instinct of super mushrooms if they get close. Once they get entangled in the roots, I'm afraid they won't even have time to save themselves. Someone needs to help cut off these tough roots. It is possible to get away.

After confirming that all the safety equipment is in order, under the order of the team leader, the ten-member team set off from the edge of the mushroom island and walked towards the center of the island, looking at the huge mushrooms more than one meter high all around them , and even mushrooms two or three meters high, everyone had the illusion of being in an alien environment.

This is the first time they landed on the island and had close contact with mushrooms after they evacuated from Mushroom Island. Since the mushrooms will continue to search for garbage and devour them during the growth process, only mushrooms that have entered the mature stage can be safe, so they hurry up after planting. left the island.

"These mushrooms look beautiful!" someone said on the public channel.

"I heard that the taste of garbage mushrooms is not bad. When I return, I can chop one and take it back for dinner!"

The foodies in the team showed the nature of flower-growing rabbits, no matter where they went, they would want to eat them, even when faced with the mushrooms growing on these garbage.

"You don't want to die! Dare to eat the mushrooms here?"

"What are you afraid of, people on the Internet have already eaten junk mushrooms!"

"If you want to eat it, it depends on the situation. If you stimulate the roots of the super mushroom, I'm afraid it's not you who eat the mushroom, but the mushroom eats you!" Someone warned aloud.

The foodie has no words to say, and can only look at the surrounding ingredients and drool, muttering in his heart: "Whether you are a garbage mushroom or a super mushroom, I must eat a few bites and try it when I have the chance!"

After a while, someone said on the team's channel: "Director, super mushrooms won't keep growing like this? When will they become as safe as other trash mushrooms?"

It seems that there is more than one person who has the idea of ​​eating food. The person who asked the question must also be thinking about how to eat mushrooms safely, but it is not clear how long he has been thinking about this problem.

The leader of the team was silent for a few seconds, and then replied: "It may take about a year for the mushroom island to become safe. It is said that the high-speed growth period of super mushrooms lasts for nearly a year, and it will not become stable until then. "

Due to the high-speed growth of the super mushroom, it has a great demand for nutrients. Even if the protective clothing that everyone wears is fiberglass that the mushroom cannot digest, they will probably be entangled by the roots and die.

After a dangerous march, they finally came to the super mushroom. At this time, the mushroom had grown to a height of more than ten meters. The huge mushroom umbrella cast a large shadow on the ground, and its roots were like pythons. Wrapped around the main trunk, it kept wriggling slowly on the ground, making everyone's scalp numb.

"What to do?" Someone asked in the channel.

According to the original plan, they had to go to the bottom of the mushroom trunk, then dig a deep hole, and put the prepared control device in. The growth speed of the super mushroom can quickly heal the wound, and even It can grow and recover from all injuries in a short period of time.

But what I didn't expect was that there were so many roots coiled under the main trunk of the mushroom. As long as they walked over, they would stimulate the instinct of the mushroom roots, and eventually they couldn't escape the result of being entangled to death.

"Why are there so many roots here?" someone asked.

"It may be that the garbage island is too small, and there is not enough garbage in the nearby sea area, so there are so many roots that are free." Someone analyzed it.

"Then we have to wait for its roots to leave before we can walk over?"

"Uh, in fact, there is no need to wait for the roots to leave. After a month or two, the movement speed of these roots will become extremely slow, and the degree of danger will naturally decrease..."

"A few months? That's not okay!"

Everyone discussed in the public channel, trying to find a proper solution to solve the problem, but after much deliberation, there was no good idea, so the team leader decided to return to the ship first, and then solve the problem after finding the tools.

Everyone had to go back again, but this time their walking speed was obviously much faster than when they came, and when they were about to reach the destination, someone in the team asked the supervisor for approval and took out a tool to remove a 1-meter-high tree. The mushrooms are tipped.

"Oh, tonight's mushroom soup is ready!"

"Didn't you just say that eating mushrooms is dangerous?"

"Is there? I don't remember!"

Amidst their arguments, everyone finally returned to the ship safely, and then they couldn't wait to take off their protective clothing.

At this time, everyone was relieved, but unfortunately, the mission of this trip has not yet been completed...
