Chapter 1589 1.1588 A "Green Star"

Just like a ship must drop anchor when it docks.

When floating, whether on the sea or in the clouds, there must be a stable "anchor point". Simply put, air and seawater are both fluids. If an airship wants to hover in place for a long time, it must constantly adjust its posture with its own power. Just like the engine automatically starting and stopping when passing a traffic light, it is okay once or twice, but it feels unbearable to keep starting and stopping like this when encountering a congested section during peak hours.

The easiest way is to find a solid landmark to anchor. This is also the safest way to anchor an Oasis Sky Island that has not yet been printed out.

“My Lord, this is the latest topographic map we obtained from the artificial satellite that is still in operation.” Valkyrie “Valkyrie” Megan Gale displayed the digitally modeled holographic earth directly on the watch: “And many high-tech satellites come from Umbrella Corporation.”

"I thought I had reached Pandora."

The planet Pandora mentioned by Wu Chen comes from the plot of "Avatar". Its scientific name is "Alpha Centauri B-4". It is one of the stars in the Alpha Centauri group (Alpha Centauri II) and is about the same size as the Earth. The Earth's interstellar expedition team discovered this planet, which is full of vitality but still in its wild period, in 2129. Based on the completely different evolution of species from the Earth, the unique Pandora ecosystem has developed, and the various novel plants and animals are amazing. The atmosphere of Pandora is full of ammonia, methane, and chlorine. Earthlings who do not rely on peripherals cannot survive at all.

Unexpectedly, this colorful planet Pandora, in a different time and space, turned into the Earth in the post-biochemical apocalyptic era.

With the help of holographic maps obtained by artificial satellites still in geosynchronous orbit, everyone was horrified to find that the Earth, once called "Blue Planet" by Cybertron, had completely turned into a "Green Planet". The ocean, which originally accounted for 70%, had completely disappeared. It was all covered by forests, with only a small strip of white land in the core area such as the "Mariana Trench".

When Wu Chen magnified this small piece of white land, he discovered that it was actually sea salt crystals!
“Oh my god, so these corpse forests have sucked up all the water resources on the earth, even the sea water. Only salt crystals that cannot be absorbed are left!” The shocked expression of the Valkyrie “Valkyrie” Megan Gale said it all. This is undoubtedly another end of human civilization. No wonder Wu Chen called it the “post-biochemical apocalypse era”.

"If these 'corpse trees' have photosynthesis similar to that of plants, it means that as long as there is enough sunlight and water, the forest will grow infinitely. Until it covers the entire earth." Wu Chen has already thought of it.

"No wonder the moisture content in the atmosphere is so low. The moisture content of 1 cubic meter of air under standard atmospheric pressure is between 0 and 30.38 grams. The water vapor content we monitored is only 0.000008713 grams per kilogram. This is the moisture content in the driest area on Earth." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale changed the subject: "But as you can see, sir. The endless jungle in front of us should not be dry at all."

"Look." Wu Chen magnified the leaves of a "corpse tree": "The scan shows that there are plant hormones similar to mimosa in the leaf tissue. This hormone will transmit signals when the leaves are stimulated externally, causing the leaves to bend and the leaves of the entire plant to close. And this 'external stimulus signal' must be related to the water vapor content."

"Your Excellency is saying that these 'corpse trees' can regulate their 'water vapor content'?"

"It's not just water vapor, it also includes a series of environmental factors such as light and temperature." Wu Chen thought more comprehensively: "This is an important part of maintaining the 'extreme predatory ecology' of the entire zombie forest."

Simply put, a tree is like a "pump" that needs to continuously absorb water from the soil and the atmosphere to stay alive. For example, the fatal flaw of the "eucalyptus almond" that is full of treasures is its crazy "water absorption" speed. An eucalyptus almond needs to drink nearly 1,000 kilograms of water every day. A forest of eucalyptus almonds is even more terrifying. When they grow, they will drain the groundwater in the area, making it difficult for other flowers and trees to grow, seriously affecting the ecological environment.

"Oh my God..." The results of the simulation calculations are also confirming Wu Chen's guess step by step. The Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale also found that the onboard computer "Fortress-279" blessed by the "Super Brain Regional Chain" even calculated that these "corpse trees" can actually move.

In fact, there are some magical plants on Earth that can move.

For example, the Selaginella, known as a migratory plant that thrives in water, is a strange plant that can walk in South America. Selaginella needs sufficient water to survive, so when there is insufficient water, it will "save itself" by pulling its roots out of the soil, curling up its entire body into a ball, and rolling on the ground with the wind. The wind carries this brave wanderer around, and when it rolls to a place with sufficient water, the ball will quickly open up, and the roots will drill back into the soil and settle down.

Another example is the "walking palm tree". This tree has a complex and numerous root system. As the soil erodes, it grows new roots and seeks more solid soil to land on. Its roots can act as "legs". As the seasons change, it moves to sunny places and can move several centimeters a day. Local indigenous people have long observed that these trees will move away from their original growth positions after a period of time, as if they were walking slowly.

As for the more terrifying "Flytrap" and "Man-Piranha Plant", they really exist on Earth and are not made up.

"So there is a high probability that we will encounter the 'tree man' in the fantasy world?" Wu Chen always felt that the teleportation point of the "world's tallest building" set up by the fat man must have a special meaning.

"I don't know whether I will encounter 'tree men'. But sir, these 'corpse trees' can really kill people." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale displayed the latest simulation results of the onboard computer on the watch: "Trees and plants release a substance called phytoncide to protect themselves from insects, fungi, etc. The 'corpse poison' released by these 'corpse trees' can kill all living things, including humans. Including animals, plants and fungi."

"Makes sense." Wu Chen was not surprised by this: "As new species in the post-biochemical apocalypse era, they will kill the original earth ecosystem and rebuild a new one. Just like the meteorite impact that wiped out the dinosaurs."

"Then the question is, are there still people living on this 'Green Star'?" Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale always felt that the situation in front of her was similar to the "Kora Deep Hole". Perhaps humans have long been extinct on the surface.

"Yes." Wu Chen smiled and said, "I guess someone has seen us anchored on the 148th floor of the 'Sky Summit'."

“Ah…” Valkyrie “Valkyrie” Megan Gale suddenly realized: “This is the most obvious man-made landmark at the moment. It is also a relic of human civilization.”

"Yes. Be careful, everyone. Since the T virus has transformed into another life form, then according to the setting that every forest must have a mother tree, just like the mother goddess Eywa on Pandora, this 'Green Star' must be nurturing a 'Mother Goddess'."

In Avatar, Pandora is depicted as a habitat for highly intelligent life, where the life form is called Mother Goddess Eva. The Na'vi, the indigenous inhabitants of this planet, regard Pandora as the incarnation of Mother Goddess Eva, believing that she extends from the core of the planet to every synapse on the surface. After death, the Na'vi can upload their memories of their lives at the intersection of Eva's memories for future generations to communicate with. In addition, the Na'vi can also connect with birds and beasts through the tentacles on their braids, share consciousness, and become soul brothers/sisters who can fight side by side, which reflects their belief in the way of nature and the belief that all things have spirits.
