Machine War: Infinite Frontier

The Federation actually secretly prepared so many forces to be deployed on the Alliance Star. Fortunately, Xiao Yun did not arrange any other actions except for the first time he sent people to kidnap two alien warriors.

Otherwise, the result would be quite tragic. The final result of rushing in without any preparation would probably be to force a way out. He was not worried that the people he sent would suffer heavy losses due to these ambushes and arrangements. He was worried that the Federation might suffer heavy losses.

Because if he really sent people over, he would definitely call the original demon, the stupid bird.

The general attack had begun, but Xiao Yun led people to return at this time. Under such a large number, the individual's combat power would only be infinitely compressed. It does not mean that the individual's strength is meaningless. If it was the stupid bird leading the charge, the effect would still be fierce, but if it was them, it would not have much effect.

The most important thing now is to bring the captured alien knight back to the rear. Now the whole world knows that Dawn has captured a knight in public. Xiao Yun doesn't need to care whether there are other forces with successful examples, but now Dawn has announced to the world that they have obtained the ticket to alien research, and no matter what related things they research in the future, they will have a suitable reason.

For several days in a row, the battle has not stopped for even a minute. The entire human army has steadily advanced, and various changes have occurred on the front battlefield. As the front line advances, more powerful plant insects have appeared, some new species, and more and more large species have appeared in the sight of the human army, and there are even larger plant insects comparable to battleships.

The closer to the white hole, the stronger the resistance, and the more large plant insects to face. The larger species already have the ability to release energy attacks, but even so, in just a few days, the human side has advanced at least thousands of kilometers forward, as if the war is already under control, but the top leaders of the federal army will not be so optimistic. If it continues like this, the next situation will probably become more difficult.

Xiao Yun also had the same idea. Although he did not continue to attack the front line, he had been paying attention to the progress of the entire battle. He also found that the insects were getting bigger and stronger. In the gradual advancement, the human side suffered heavy losses. There was no such scene of sweeping across the board. Many human warships were shot down and many soldiers died. As the environment became more complex, the situation to be faced became more difficult.

It seems that the real victory or defeat will still have to wait until the arrival of the ace fleet of the Federation. It is also possible that the aliens will invest more powerful forces.

But if you think about it carefully, the aliens are not good people. Damn, they actually maintained the same posture as the Federation. They are also quietly accumulating strength to prepare for a big wave. Both sides are actually accumulating troops and thinking about a wave while maintaining normal confrontation.

Once again, returning to Fortress X, someone just came over to report that the research on the branches of the world tree has made a major breakthrough. Xiao Yun ran over with great interest to see what was going on.

When Xiao Yun saw the branch again, he was also shocked. He remembered that it was still very small before, but he didn't expect that it would become a big tree that he had to hug after not seeing it for such a long time.

"Growing so fast? What did it eat to grow up?"

The head of the research immediately became interested: "Sir, it eats everything, plant nutrients, insect photosynthesis, as long as it is useful to plants, this tree can absorb everything. The root system is well-developed and the conversion rate is very high. Normally, it is impossible to grow so fast. It's just that we have found the most suitable environment and nutrition for the growth of this plant. This plant is too terrible. As long as there is enough time, whether it is ten, twenty or thirty years, the well-developed root system can absorb all the nutrients of the entire planet to make itself grow, and the fallen branches and sap will eventually revitalize the ground."

"Sir, this plant will eventually become the only species on a planet. Except for other life that can coexist with this plant, everything else will be swallowed by this plant. This is not something born naturally, but created. We found that this plant has undergone highly confidential genetic adjustments, and there are even many gene sequences that we cannot analyze now, as well as some that do not belong to the gene. Because the sequence can understand something, this thing is both a plant and a living thing. "

Xiao Yun looked at the somewhat excited research leader: "Aren't plants living things? Are you kidding me that I don't understand science?"

"No, I mean this is a plant that really exists, and it has some characteristics of plants, microorganisms and animals. This is something that was made under extremely high science. This thing doesn't even need oxygen to survive."

Xiao Yun was a little surprised: "No need for oxygen? Not at all?"

The person in charge shook his head: "No, not all organisms need oxygen to survive, but the growth rate will be reduced to the extreme without oxygen. There is even a saying in the scientific community that although oxygen is the source of life, it is also a poison, because oxygen has caused the human life span to be limited, but as long as there is energy and nutrition, this plant does not need oxygen to survive and continue to grow."

Xiao Yun asked a question that he was more concerned about: "Seeds... No, what about fruits."

The researchers gave a very definite answer: "No, there is no such thing. This thing will not bear fruit, at least not the one we have. It will only grow indefinitely."

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, there's nothing else. For example, will it deform?"

The person in charge of the research had a question mark on his face: "????"

Xiao Yun said: "For example, turn into a super large plant monster."

The person in charge of the research looked at the big tree behind the glass and was thinking about how a tree could turn into a monster, but he still couldn't imagine such a scene.

Xiao Yun was confused and asked a more critical question from an illiterate perspective: "Didn't you just say that this thing has the characteristics of plants, microorganisms and animals at the same time? Isn't it impossible to accomplish such a thing as morphological transformation?"

This sentence directly stunned the person in charge of research. He was stunned for a moment, and then fell directly into doubts and thoughts about the world.

The researcher slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief: "Hey, sir... what you said seems to be unreasonable. If so, this thing can also be regarded as an animal. This one may also be a threat to the World Tree." What about hairs and reproductive organs that are essentially meaningless? Even plants should have these things. If they can’t flower or bear fruit, then they have to have seeds and rely entirely on autologous transplantation?”

"But in the information, this thing is clearly controllable, something that can be controlled by those aliens, but how can we control this thing?"

Seeing that his person in charge fell into a daze, Xiao Yun immediately shut up and slowly retreated. Before leaving, he couldn't help but say another sentence: "Perhaps the direction of growth has been determined since the larvae. It needs to be When will different gene characteristics be activated?”

"Determine the direction of growth and activate genetic characteristics?"

By the time the person in charge turned around and looked up, Xiao Yun had already run away and went to World No. 1. He hugged Lux, who was getting plumper but softer, and slept comfortably.

This guy returned to Fortress X after eating and drinking, and was immediately notified by X to go to the World Tree research team again.

I came over again and saw that the tree I saw yesterday had now changed again. All the bare branches had been cut off and hung in the air, and someone was dealing with the tree's developed root system.

The person in charge who had not slept all night appeared in front of Xiao Yun again, but he still looked energetic. After all, using the body of a reformer and staying up all night had no effect at all.

"This is changing so fast."

The person in charge said: "Sir, yesterday we applied for a new experiment, and we have now confirmed that this plant is a polymorphic organism."

"Is this confirmed?" Xiao Yun took a breath and hissed: "Tell me."

"We used nanorobots to devour all the cut branches, leaves and roots. Finally, with the help of As you said, sir, this creature is indeed capable of transformation into multiple forms, but its development is fixed as long as the corresponding genetic characteristics are activated."

Xiao Yun understood what the other party meant, but did not understand how the other party did it.

"Just one night?"

The person in charge nodded: "Maybe it was just luck and it only took one night. The backtracking process may not be completely correct, but the extraction process is definitely fine. This is just a test, but through this test we have basically That’s certain.”

The person in charge raised his hand to signal, and some images suddenly popped up on the glass in front of Xiao Yun. After seeing these images, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

But soon this expression disappeared and turned into what he really was.

There are some weird things in the picture. It's really weird, but you can also see some shadows of plant insects from it.

"Good job." Xiao Yun patted the person in charge on the shoulder and turned around to leave. He quickly returned to World 0. He quickly picked up the communicator in his room before even having time to go to the bridge: "Hurry and give it to me. Contact the top leader of the federal army.”

"clear."

Xiao Yun felt that there was a problem. Why did the aliens have to plant trees? This was not only planting trees, but also making their own biological weapons. No wonder he accompanied the Federation to perform such a big show. He was basically making his own biological weapons just like the Federation. weapon, a biological weapon, everything is just disguise and performance.

The communication was connected, and a relatively familiar voice reached Xiao Yun's ears.

"President Shizhen, do you want me to help you with anything?"

Xiao Yun asked directly: "Commander, has your federation conducted any research on alien plants?"

These words made the other party pause for a moment, and then he said: "Of course, we have conducted research on more than just plants, plant insects and alien warriors, but I can't explain the specific research situation for the time being. Isn't Dawn also conducting research now? Do you want to do research? If something can be researched, I can propose a charter for us to cooperate with each other. We definitely believe in Sugon’s technical strength and we very much look forward to Sugon joining the research project.”

"I'll tell you what I have to say." Xiao Yun said directly without wasting time: "After my people studied plants, they found that this plant has multiple characteristics of microorganisms, organisms and plants..."

The other side paused and said: "Please wait a moment, I will switch to multi-party communication now."

After waiting for about a minute, Xiao Yun also switched the communication method to video communication. The ground commander and a white-haired researcher in a white coat who was about fifty years old appeared on the screen.

"Dr. Kula, this is Mr. Shizhen Xiaoyun, the president of Sugon. President Shizhen, this is Dr. Kula, the technical person in charge of our research on alien races. Doctor, the Shuguang researcher of President Shizhen seems to have discovered some research aspects. You can exchange some things."

Dr. Kula pushed up his glasses: "Shuguang Industries? What did you find?"

"I told you to listen." Xiao Yun said in a tone of voice: "Our Dawn research on World Tree found that World Tree has multiple genetic characteristics of microorganisms, plants, and animals."

Dr. Kula said: "Yes, we have also discovered that as long as we conduct in-depth research on the World Tree samples, the answer can be obtained quickly. It is precisely for this reason that the World Tree has such a terrifying growth ability. We have already You have been studying the World Tree for a long time, and you, Shuguang, have only been studying it for a long time and you have come to such a conclusion. I can also tell you that the World Tree cannot be a natural product, it is definitely the crystallization of technology. "

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Then have you ever studied the multiple forms of the World Tree?"

Dr. Kula's face was full of questions: "???What polymorphism?"

Xiao Yundao: "The World Tree may be a large biological arsenal, or it may be a super biological weapon in itself. And according to the existing data cards, it is an energy transmission pipeline and a plant that plants insects. This is a comprehensive super biological factory. Have you ever considered the possibility that perhaps the plant characteristics of the Zygophytes are not simply racial characteristics, but because the Zygophytes and the World Tree are originally the same thing."

The ground commander's expression was stagnant, and Xiao Yun noticed that his eyes were obviously moving to look elsewhere. After a few seconds, he asked in a deep voice: "President Shizhen, I need your research information on the World Tree. "

Xiao Yun said: "Sorry, this information needs some time to sort out, but we only reached this conclusion through reverse research on cell genes. Sugon has a deep technological accumulation in this area, and the specific technological product is the treatment cabin. ”

Dr. Kula suddenly said: "The treatment cabin is your Dawning product? Then your idea of ​​Dawning is indeed possible. If it were someone else, I would slap him in the face. You are definitely the best in this cell genetic technology." Top-notch, at first I thought about what the symbiotic relationship between the Zygophytes and the World Tree was like, and I also doubted how the number of Zygophytes could be so huge. However, the reproduction of Zygoids is very fast, so there is no way to verify it. It’s not like I haven’t considered that the World Tree might be the mother nest of zoophytes, but I’ve never thought that plants can create animals.” (End of Chapter)
