Chapter 1234 - Spores about to flood
Not long after the S-class space-powered mutant Heseman Brown returned to the bridge of "Command Ship No. 2", a "Worker Bee-1" space-collecting robot brought back a lump of sticky flesh and blood. It came from a spindle-shaped organism and was delivered to Chen Fei after being packaged and sealed in a box.
One of the main characteristics of the biotechnology route is that only one complete cell is needed to obtain the entire genetic information. This characteristic can make the civilization that follows the biotechnology route like an indestructible cockroach, with amazing recovery ability. Even if there is only a little bit left, once sufficient resources and time are obtained, it can quickly revive and make a comeback.
Therefore, it is not an easy task to completely destroy the "Sagari" civilization.
But now, the Blue Star civilization cannot even gain the upper hand and has been in a passive defensive position from beginning to end.
Without even looking at the flesh and blood that was sent to him, Chen Fei threw it directly into the life space of the "Boundary Pearl". It fell from the sky into the huge crown of the "Tree of Life" and disappeared together with the packaging box.
It's useless to look at it. Only the "Tree of Life" itself can unlock the true secret of this spindle-shaped organism.
"What is that?"
More than a dozen eyes in the bridge were staring at Chen Fei, waiting for an answer.
Chen Fei let out a long sigh.
"We're in big trouble!"
He received a message from the "Tree of Life" that could only be understood and not expressed in words, transcending graphic symbols and audio-visual multimedia.
The "Tree of Life" fed the complete form of this mass of flesh and blood back into Chen Fei's brain in the form of memory, just as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
The huge black vines have extremely strong climbing and drilling abilities. They can attach themselves to cliffs and break through rocks and soil underground. Their root systems are extremely developed, drawing nutrients from the earth, air, starlight and even geothermal resources. The thick vines produce long, pod-like fruits.
When these fruits are ripe, the pods split open, revealing neatly arranged spindle-shaped organisms inside, which are exactly the same as those that appear in the space rifts and the three abnormal areas on the surface of Blue Star.
Each pod can grow to more than 100 meters in length and more than 40 meters in diameter, and can give birth to eight to ten spindle-shaped biological spaceships, which mature as soon as they hatch.
These biological spaceships alone are not the main threat. The real danger lies in the hundreds of thousands of spores carried by each spindle-shaped biological spaceship. There are hundreds of spores in just the small piece of flesh and blood brought back.
As long as it falls into a suitable environment, each spore will be able to grow into a black vine that produces huge pods. If these spindle-shaped biological spaceships are allowed to fall into the Blue Star, in time the entire planet will be occupied by densely packed black vines. After devouring countless biological resources, countless biological spaceships will burst out. What can the humans on the Blue Star use to resist?
This is the truly domineering way of invasion. The previous "wormhole cloud" and monster invasions are more like children playing house. Probably only a biological space mothership with a total length of several kilometers can be compared with this kind of spore-like biological flying ship. One is swallowing and the other is nibbling. The former is vigorous and the latter is subtle and silent.
Based on Chen Fei's dictation, artificial intelligence AI will generate and correct it in real time, and soon the complete forms named "Pod Flying Ship" and "Flying Ship Black Vine" will be constructed.
According to the simulated surface and underground expansion method, it will only take a hundred years for the "Flying Ship Black Vine" to completely occupy the land and oceans on the surface of Blue Star. This plant that relies on spores to reproduce doesn't care about salt water or fresh water. It can even drink magma. At the same time, it will breed overwhelming biological flying ships, which will far outnumber the existing air combat units of Blue Star human civilization.
At the same time, the Blue Planet will also fall into an unprecedented mass extinction of life.
For the "Sagari" civilization, whether it is the native creatures of the Blue Star or the rampant spore plants after the invasion, the biological resources of the planet are still there, just in a different form, and there will not be much increase or decrease. What they really value is the "soul" of the humans on the Blue Star, which is the most important resource of a civilized planet.
The humans on Blue Star do not have any racial specialties in terms of mental strength, so they are not even qualified to become a slave race. At that time, they will have to face two choices. One is to be completely devoured by the parasitic species, and the entire race will be completely extinct, as if they had never appeared on Blue Star. The other is to be devoured by them while being kept in captivity, with no chance of turning over forever.
Louis Langdon said solemnly, "We cannot let those flying ships get out of the abnormal area, otherwise it will cause a huge disaster."
Thankfully, thanks to the foresight, the S-class space-based psychic Heseman Brown used his psychic abilities to seal off these four locations, and the "isolation" was enough to prevent those spores as small as sand grains from flying around.
"This information must be released, and we must be prepared for the worst no matter what."
Heseman Brown was glad that his supernatural skills could help. If any other supernatural person was with Chen Fei, he would probably have to watch these horrible spores fall to the surface of the blue planet and then spread uncontrollably.
"But there is some good news. We have a very good team of biologists."
Chen Fei asked the "Tree of Life" to synthesize hundreds of "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores with restricted reproductive capacity, and then transferred them to the "Tree of Life" Research Institute in the life space.
"Haha! It's destined!"
"God's will! God's will!"
The expressions of Boss Landon and the S-level space-ability users suddenly became much better, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
No matter how domineering a plant is, it is afraid of nothing but botanists.
It is easy to destroy and difficult to build. If we can’t figure out how to cultivate and grow it, don’t we understand how to kill a vine?
Botanists who want to kill spore-bearing plants have found their perfect match and have plenty of ways to do it.
There are many top authorities among the experts and scholars sent by the sovereigns, who can be put to good use now. Maybe they can find the weakness of the black vines that can produce biological spaceships and spores.
Maybe if we sprinkle some glyphosate, it can kill a large number of people directly!
"First, share the intelligence about the 'Black Vine Flying Ship' and the 'Bean Pod Flying Ship', and warn everyone not to touch the wreckage of the 'Bean Pod Flying Ship'. Once discovered, immediately use incendiary bombs, preferably white phosphorus bombs to disinfect on the spot. It is strictly forbidden to collect samples. Don't be confident that the biotechnology of the Blue Star civilization can surpass the 'Sagari'. Any research behavior is seeking death!"
Chen Fei clearly issued a serious warning.
He allowed the "Tree of Life" Research Institute in the "Boundary Pearl" life space to come into contact with the spores, mainly because the spores used for research were not native species, but had their base pair information adjusted by the "Tree of Life" to limit their reproduction capacity, so there was no need to worry about accidental loss of control. Even if it did get out of control, the harm caused would be limited to the life space. Nowadays, cities are covered and protected by the "sky curtain", so spores cannot get in. It is not easy for black vines to break through the "sky curtain" light-transmitting sheet made of high-purity silicon carbide.
The "Tree of Life" Research Institute is already within the radius of the "Tree of Life" barrier. With just a thought from Chen Fei, any out-of-control existence will be directly cleaned up by the "Tree of Life" and restored to the most basic substance, and all threats will no longer exist.
The "Tree of Life" is the supreme product of the "Sagari" civilization. Without it, Chen Fei would not dare to think about such terrible things as the "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores. If he didn't handle it well, it would be a way to death.
Chen Fei's warning came just in time. Some sovereigns were already starting to target those spindle-shaped biological flying ships, trying to figure out what they were.
It is conceivable that if spores the size of sand grains are scattered along the way during transportation and blown by the wind to more distant places, the consequences would be disastrous.
As long as we firmly guard the entrances and exits of the "isolation" barriers of the three abnormal areas, restrict entry and exit and pay attention to cleaning and inspection, the spores spreading inside the three abnormal areas will not affect the Blue Star no matter how rampant they are.
At worst, let Mr. Brown use his supernatural powers to completely seal off the three abnormal areas. At worst, we can completely abandon the specialty resources inside. Anyway, we have obtained a considerable amount of them through previous large-scale collection. It would be too unprofitable if civilization was destroyed due to excessive greed.
However, in front of the space rift, there are countless "pod-ship" wreckage fragments floating, and the number is increasing. The spores in these flesh and blood tissues are still active, and some spores are even sprouting. Soybean-sized sprouts are emerging on the surface of the wreckage, which means that these spores can grow even in an out-of-control and vacuum environment.
However, Chen Fei soon discovered that the side of the flesh and blood containing the "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores facing the sun, the area illuminated by the starlight, had no young sprouts emerging. Instead, the tops of the small bulges were all covered with wilted brown withered buds.
Let the space collection robot collect this part of flesh and blood, and bring it back for analysis by the "Tree of Life" in the "Boundary Pearl" life space.
Chen Fei discovered that on the side exposed to sunlight, all the spores died as soon as they sprouted, and all the other spores inside the flesh and blood also sprouted towards the side that was not exposed. This means that even if they can be forced to germinate in the special environment of the void, these spores still have great limitations.
This discovery was soon confirmed after being reported to experts and scholars at the "Tree of Life" Institute.
Continuous exposure to ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 80 to 315 nanometers for one second is enough to kill these spores. To be more precise, it should destroy their cell division ability and genetic integrity. Although they still remain active, they will no longer be able to germinate.
