Deep Space Fleet

3 months passed in a hurry ...

This can be said to be Wu Peng and Sun Yuting, the busiest and most fulfilling 3 months. The pleasure of solving the mystery bit by bit, making them completely sleepless and forgetful. Wu Peng's girlfriend and colleagues also gave a lot of support, because the cultural atmosphere in Kunlun Mountain is like this, and exploring mystery is more important than anything.

A big secret!

With the deepening of the investigation, a complete thesis finally came out, and it really caused a huge sensation in the human society of Kunlun Mountain!

论文 This paper analyzes the birth time of the "world tree" from the biological genetic level, geographical level and religious record level.

"... that is, 150,000 years ago, the so-called 'world tree' was born from this world!"

"... The reason why we think that it has a certain probability is that it was transformed by aliens through genetic modification technology. It is based on the following reasons." Sun Yuting put on his formal attire and delivered his own thesis speech on the stage.

Upon hearing this conclusion, there was a small commotion among the people sitting below.

Zhang Zhangyuan also showed an interesting look, what exactly these young people found.

第一 "First, we found the predecessor of the 'World Tree' from the fossils of geography, a tall tree named HW88987. You see, this is the fossil of this tree ..."

A fossil of a tree is displayed on the screen. Because it has been buried under the ground for too long, it becomes dark and shiny, a bit like the direction of coal.

But it is not real coal, anyway, it becomes something similar to sinker wood.

This is the first time that Sun Yuting has spoken in front of so many scholars. At the beginning, she was a little nervous, but speaking of her professional field, she quickly became confident.

"... This plant, from the perspective of genetic material, has a high degree of similarity to the World Tree. It still exists in a small amount in some virgin forests on this planet. After field inspections, we found that it can grow up to 40 meters in diameter It's about 10 meters. Although it can be regarded as a towering tree, it is far less than the size of the world tree. "

Contrast through photos, they are almost the same size as eagles and chicks.

"And the heart of HW88987 does not have unique biological materials or corresponding evolutionary trends ... so there is a large fault between the two species."

Zhang Yuan touched his chin. This kind of statement makes some sense. However, there are more creatures with evolutionary faults in the middle. For example, in the evolutionary step from ancient apes to humans, one step is too large, which is a little incredible.

In fact, there will only be a very small number of species. Because of luck, it is possible to leave a more complete fossil record of the evolution process. Most creatures will never find a fossil record.

Therefore, there is an evolutionary fault, which is probably due to the lack of fossils, which is directly attributed to the transformation of aliens, which is insufficient.

I saw Sun Yuting continue to explain: "Compared with the World Tree, the disadvantage of this HW88987 plant is still too large. The World Tree can be said to be an all-round optimization that can grow taller and occupy a higher proportion. Sunlight, drought resistance, vitality, and resistance to more viruses ... there are too many genetic changes. "

而 "And ten thousand years ago, the environment was very stable, and the entire planet did not change much. Why did a species evolve suddenly under the condition of stable environment? This is not in line with the law of species evolution."

Evolution often follows the principle of "enough is enough" rather than the perfectionist principle of the artist in general. HW88987 is already a very good plant, and it is impossible to extinct at all. Why has it suddenly evolved to a level that other species cannot surpass?

Several biologists below showed a thoughtful expression, one of them questioned: "Ms. Sun, what you said, the idea of ​​alien genetic modification is not impossible, but it is still a little abrupt ... ... "

"From the perspective of genetic analysis, we did not find too obvious traces of genetic modification. Is it because the biotechnology of this alien civilization is so superb that we cannot see it at all? Or, in these 100,000 years, After generations of natural reproduction, this genetic modification has gradually been smoothed out ... "

"By the way, do you find the most primitive specimens of the world's tree fossils and genetically sequence them? Or have you found records of indigenous peoples' contact with alien civilizations in religious books? If there is evidence of this ... "

"Unfortunately, there is no direct evidence. Most original tree fossil specimens in the world did not find any suspicious traces at the genetic level." Sun Yuting shook his head. "The historical records in this respect are also completely dated, the religion of the Riley civilization. There is no record of direct contact with the aliens ... at least there is no, or rather, inexplicable, information in the documents we consulted. "

Slightly blushed. Although she has already spent a lot of time on checking information, it is impossible for a few people in the working group to check all the historical documents of the Riley civilization.

So maybe some information is missing ...

However, the older the data, the less can be passed down, and they have already turned over similar data.

"In the religious records of the Riley civilization, the message of the world tree appeared, which also appeared about 150,000 years ago ..."

宗教 This religious record reads:

It was an era full of famine, and the gods have not cared for them for a long time ~ www.readwn.com ~ the sky no longer rains, and a large drought has caused a large number of plants to die and die.

In the era, the Bolai people had given birth to writing, animal husbandry, agriculture, and gathering. However, under the great natural disaster, a large number of tribes still fell into famine.

摆脱 In order to get out of the predicament of survival and find more food and water, the tribe sent a group of the bravest warriors, left their territory and marched into the unknown nature ...

Miscellaneous religious parables in the middle, the stories encountered along the way need not be said for the time being ...

In a word, in the end, the warrior of Riley civilization finally worked hard to find a large forest composed of world trees!

At this point, the "world tree" has become a link in religion, known as ... "the gift of the gods"!

"We investigated the area of ​​the religious story, and it was in this area that a large number of fossil specimens were found. Because the fallen trees can't decay, it has evolved into a large organic mine, but the Rileys did not. To make use of it. The atmospheric oxygen content is low, and these organic ores cannot be burned. "

Another photo appeared on the big screen, and human geographers are inspecting this organic mineral mine. In more than 100,000 years, it is not enough to fully convert organic matter into coal, but these veins are still very high quality organic matter.

The main element is carbon, from which a large number of industrial chemical products can be extracted. Human workers even plan to build some small refineries nearby, refine some chemical products, and then do some chemical experiments.
