Chapter 168 Research Team (2)

Hesitant, confused, at a loss - the author

Next came purple grassy plants, starting with a small rock, then fresh creep, and finally even dropped an assault grenade.

Every time the root system emerges from the bottom, and wriggles the organisms above, devouring the experimental items into its own root system bit by bit.

After swallowing the grenade, a few seconds later, a large piece of plant debris and blood-like purple liquid burst out from the ground.

The liquid erupted from the ground even drenched the combat uniforms of the team members, but there was no corrosive effect. It may be just ordinary plant juice. Of course, the researchers collected some and packed them up.

After that, I still experimented with this kind of grass plant. Using the things I brought, I quickly produced a foam plastic with a polymer structure. This foam plastic can even be used as a temporary building material, but it will self-destruct after a month. It starts to decompose, so it can only be used as a temporary effect.

But at this time, it can also be of great use. The researcher directly sprayed out a humanoid shape with foam plastic, and after it was formed, he threw the humanoid foam plastic on the purple grass.

The result is not surprising. An organic root system emerges directly from the bottom, and then slowly wraps the foam plastic. When it is wrapped, the foam plastic seems to be still being decomposed. You must know that this is a polymer structure material. There may be a corrosive formation like a strong acid inside the root system.

However, because the foam plastic may be too large for this root system, it took 10 minutes to wrap the two legs of this figure, and the shrinking place is the foot area is a big circle smaller.

The researcher asked a marine to go up and pull the styrofoam. Since he agreed to finish it, the marine stepped forward, grabbed the body of the styrofoam, and pulled it out, but he didn't move.

I pulled harder, but it still didn't move.The researcher thought for a while, took a mechanical arm with a diamond cutting wheel installed on it, turned the wheel, and cut at the root, a large purple liquid sprayed out, as if it had been cut to the aorta. It sprayed more than ten meters away.

But it wasn't corrosive, and the cutting wheel continued to turn, cutting off the entire root system, and then the marine came back dragging the styrofoam.

At this time, the root system seems to have died and did not continue to grow upwards, but the fracture was still seeping purple-red liquid. I pulled the root system wrapped in the foam plastic with a mechanical hand, but the entire root system was pulled up, and it was not pulled from the foam plastic. .

Cut off a piece with a cutting wheel and continue to store it in a protective box, ready to take it back for further experiments.

Looking at the purple grass again, because the root system was cut, the holes where the root system appeared have been filled with purple-red liquid. The grass next to it also began to slowly hang down, and it may be dying.

The researcher took out a miniature flying camera and continued to shoot the purple grass. This flying camera can continue to work for 30 minutes. During this time, they will not continue to waste time here.

Finding the next target to continue research is the right choice.

The next target found a plant that looked like a tree, with a thick purple-red trunk, and organic matter that was crawling like a carpet on it. There should be dry and exposed bark on the tree for protection, but this tree did not. No, the texture inside can be clearly seen through the not-so-thick creep.

It's not clear if the tree is aggressive, so the researchers carefully manipulated the robotic arm and slammed a drill into the tree's trunk.

However, the hardness of the tree was beyond the researcher's imagination. The drill bit had already sparked, and the creep on the surface was easily broken through, but a small pothole had just appeared on the trunk.

Remove the drill bit, and you can clearly see that the dark purple liquid flows out of the small hole, and then slowly connects with the creeping blanket next to it, and finally covers the hole.

Drill it up again, and repeat the same situation as before, but it seems that this kind of tree is not aggressive, but its defense is really good.

Although this kind of drill bit is not the kind of engineering drill bit that can collect crystal ore, the civilian alloy plate can still drill a small hole of 5 mm after a few seconds, that is to say, the hardness of the trunk of this tree is comparable to the new alloy material.

The only thing that is not clear is what is the relationship between the dark purple liquid and the creep. If this can be solved, this kind of tree can even be used as a new type of natural material.

The researcher quickly collected a small bottle and filled it before the liquid started to work.

There is no progress on the trunk, and the next part is the upper part of the tree, which is different from the ordinary tree with luxuriant branches. The top of this tree is bare, without any leaves, and it branches out There are very few branches, only two or three very thick branches grow crookedly towards the outside.

A purple-red fruit hangs from the tree trunk. The skin of this fruit has many lines, is uneven, and is particularly round. If you want to describe it, it looks like a devil fruit.

Still using the manipulator to try, this time the drill bit was replaced with an alloy dagger.

Slowly insert the dagger into the fruit, without any hindrance, just go deep into it, and hit a hard object when inserting into the center.

Then the fruit changed a little bit, slowly from purple to purple, and finally to red.

This process was so fast that even the manipulator didn't have time to retract it, and the color change was not obvious, and the researchers didn't notice it until it turned into a deep red.

"What's the situation?" As soon as the words fell, a loud noise came from the fruit.

BOOM, like a grenade exploded, the manipulator was directly blown to pieces, and electric sparks appeared at the fracture, not to mention the dagger, I am afraid that even the wreckage is gone.

Fortunately, the scope of the explosion was very small, and it did not reach the first joint of the arm of the manipulator. Except for the shell being blown away due to the huge force, the others seemed to be melted, but there was no liquid that should appear after being melted. shaped product.

It can be said that the molecules are directly annihilated, collide with each other, and then disappear, disappearing directly from the structural level.

"Did it explode because it touched the core?" The researcher didn't give up. He removed the damaged manipulator, replaced it with a new one, and continued to insert it with the dagger. This time, it didn't touch the core, but There was a cut in the skin, and the purple juice flowed out from the wound, but the fruit still began to change color, and then exploded.

This time, the manipulator evaded very timely and was not hit by the explosion. After the fruit exploded, it disappeared out of thin air.

The three researchers discussed together for a long time, but they didn't come to any feasible conclusions. Maybe this kind of fruit will explode when touched.

Suddenly, a marine said, "What if you pick the fruit?"

The young researcher turned around and said disdainfully, "Wouldn't it still hit the fruit when you pick it off? Then it would also explode!"

However, the middle-aged researcher thought of a way, which is to cut directly from the place where the branch is connected. Since he thought of it, he immediately tried it. This is his style of operation.

The root pedicle was cut off directly with a cutting wheel, and the fruit fell on the creep. Because the creep was elastic, it bounced up a bit.

The result was indeed unexpected, there was no explosion as imagined, and the purple 'Devil Fruit' lay quietly on the creep.

I poked it twice with the robot hand, but there was no reaction. At this time, I used a knife to cut the surface, and the previous explosion did not occur.

"It seems that this fruit will not explode as long as it leaves the tree trunk." The middle-aged researcher cut off the remaining few fruits, and then kept a whole one and put it in the protective box. Cutting, hammering in various ways.

Even outside the creep, the aircraft flew into the air and fell on the sand, just like ordinary fruits, it was directly smashed to pieces, and the juice splashed.

　These chapters are mainly for transition. During the run, no special events happened, but the run took too long, so I added an additional plot that may be used in the future.
