The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 555 The Struggle of Life

No. [-] immediately ordered his subordinates to conduct a new round of observations on No. [-] bacteria according to Jiang Shiliu's guess.

While waiting for the results, Jiang Shiliu said again: "The biggest problem that 36 and I are facing now is that we can only observe the superficial form of four-dimensional fragments.

"The main reason is that as a three-dimensional creature in a four-dimensional fragment, it is born lacking the perception of one dimension.

"This kind of perception is difficult to make up for with instruments, and we can't even determine the distance in the four-dimensional fragments now!

"Bacteria No. [-] gave me a sudden realization. Since it is very difficult to develop a four-dimensional observation instrument, then transforming myself into a 'four-dimensional man' will solve most of the problems we encounter now."

Number three was a little surprised: "Do we have this technology?"

"It didn't exist before," Jiang Shiliu said with a smile, "but now we can find some inspiration from No. [-] fungus."

He spread his hands: "Life has been multiplying in the universe for so long, and in many cases, it is much easier to use and more sophisticated than man-made instruments."

No. [-] nodded slightly: "Since you have such an idea, I support it, but please think twice before acting."

Jiang Shiliu said: "Don't worry, I will start to apply it only after I have enough confidence.

"Well, the first problem to be solved is how to stop the falling of four-dimensional fragments.

"Now we can use the warping point to freely shuttle between four-dimensional and three-dimensional, but if we become four-dimensional people, there is no way to return to three-dimensional so easily.

"It is likely to fall with the four-dimensional debris into elementary particles in three-dimensional space."

In the chat between the two people, they waited for new observations.

According to the feedback from the gravitational imaging equipment, it was indeed detected that there is substance in the "empty shell" of No. [-] bacteria.

The specific substance and structure are still unknown.

However, this is already a breakthrough, at least it is known that the interior of Bacteria No. [-] is not empty.

No. [-] rubbed his forehead and said: "Is this the power of life? In order to escape the fate of being slaughtered and to gain freedom, an interdimensional life form has evolved!"

"Life seems to have infinite possibilities." Then Jiang Shiliu laughed at himself: "Human beings are so pathetic! Such a precious gift is delivered to us, and we actually 'see it as invisible'."

He sighed: "Maybe it is because we are too weak and pathetic that we have the perseverance to move forward.

"Because if you don't move forward, you perish."

……

A new round of research on No. [-] bacteria has begun, but the No. [-] bacteria incident did not end there.

It was the upgraded Galaxy III in the Science Space City that first discovered the aftermath of the event.

First of all, it found that in the huge green belt, the newly grown plants had a slight variation.

The external manifestation of this variation is that some leaves become a color that does not belong to the species.

Young maple and camellia trees, for example, have leaves that turn purple or orange.

At the beginning, this kind of variation did not attract everyone's attention. After all, there are tens of thousands of ornamental plants in the Science Space City, and there are many close relatives among them. They interact with each other in the process of breeding offspring, and frequent variation in details.

The green plant intelligent management system in the space city never cares about such mutations.

After another two or three years, Yinhe-[-] further observed some phenomena worthy of attention.

Those slightly mutated plants before could actually hunt and kill insects!

Some of them have roots that emerge from the ground, designing traps for insects.

Some have thickened leaves with a layer of thin barbs, which can be used to clamp insects, and the barbs absorb insect body fluids.

After Yinhe-[-] reported these observations, the researchers immediately launched an investigation.

Soon the researchers discovered that these mutated plants actually had a part of the orange leaf killer gene.

Obviously, when the orange leaf killer ran out of the laboratory, he used pollen and other methods to spread his genes.

And its genes are more like "universal" and can be combined with most plants to produce new species.

From the No. [-] bacteria incident to the present, people have focused on No. [-] bacteria.

Now Bacteria No. [-] has all been put back into the laboratory and frozen, but the Orange Leaf Killer has quietly completed his arrangement and continued his own genes.

Although this continuation is faint, it might have been detected earlier if it had been too obvious.

People don't know if this is the subjective wisdom of the orange leaf killer like Bacteria No. [-], or the instinctive wisdom.

In short, the Orange Leaf Killer's escape was more successful than Bacteria No. [-].

At least it left its offspring outside the "prison".

For these mutated, newborn plants with hunting performance, the researchers brought them back to the laboratory, and set up a research team to do a new round of research.

But who knows, there may be fish that slipped through the net.

Some mutant species did not exhibit the characteristics of killing insects, so the researchers did not do further processing.

It is impossible to eradicate all the green belts that have a history of more than 100 years and plant them again.

Since no characteristics such as hunting were found, it was assumed to be a non-dangerous plant by default.

Another seven or eight years later, a rootbeard beast with long barbed thorns was observed on Qingnvxing.

At first, botanists thought that this was a variant of the rootbeard beast. When it was discovered that the rootbeard beast hunted by shooting these barbs, it was connected with the orange leaf killer.

The Academy of Sciences immediately hunted down a mutated rootbeard beast, and found part of the orange leaf killer's gene in it.

The botanist speculated that it was probably the researchers who traveled to and from the Science Space City who brought the gene of the orange leaf killer to Qingnvxing.

The combination of the two sides gave the mutated rootbeard beasts a more flexible nervous system, which made them more intelligent.

So the army dispatched combat robots to hunt and kill all the mutated rootbeard beasts.

However, there is no way to completely kill the gene of the orange leaf killer. After all, there are still many recessive conditions, and it is impossible to exterminate all the plants of the green actress.

In addition, the orange leaf killer has given people a huge incentive, and a plant grown in the laboratory can do this in order to spread its genes.

As a human being who thinks he is highly intelligent, how can he lose to a plant?
For a time, the dark forest became less scary, because the power of life itself gave people great encouragement.

Some people even suggested that the orange leaf killer should be regarded as a spiritual symbol of tenacious life.

So people are reluctant to eradicate the offspring of the orange leaf killer.

This is not letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but giving life a romantic color.

……

In the 81st year of the Galaxy, Jiang Yu's fleet broke away from the speed of light, and No. [-] reported to him the whole process of No. [-] incident.

And asked: "Are you quietly killing all the plants of Qing Actress?"

It is, after all, a threat to humanity.
