With the emergence of pet craze, various animals of various shapes and forms appear in the streets and alleys of Banna, including birds, insects, fish and snakes of all kinds.
But the most eye-catching ones were four people and four pigs. These pigs were all collared and tied with ropes, and were dragged by their owners all the way.
"The tastes of these four are so unique! I admire them!"
"Walking a pig?! You are so domineering and arrogant!!" Everyone looked at the four of them with admiration.
The four of them were elated and very satisfied with the admiring looks of everyone: "This is the era of showing individuality. If you want to go, take a unique route. Others are walking cats and dogs, birds and turtles, but we are walking pigs and walking life. It's awesome.
Domineering without explanation!"
Amu did not take the big leopard to the town in the end, because with the broadcast of the TV show, his little vanity had been satisfied. And the big leopard did not go, because it had already completed Aoki's mission.
Time flies by, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye, which is the spring of the thirteenth year after Aoki was reborn. Although it is still a dry season, it rains more than in previous years, and it rains every few days.
heavy rain.
The shrubs and grass around Aoki have become a little more lush after being catalyzed by 10 times of vitality. The tall trees have gradually accelerated their growth and should reach a height of 100 meters in about a month. However, because of the sunshine, the land
Due to the competition for resource space, some tall trees are still being eliminated. The natural law of survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated here.
Looking at my own height of only over 40 meters, and then looking at those tall trees over 90 meters tall, I can't help but feel envious in my heart.
"In about a month, it will be soon."
The hamster living under the green tree was currently looking around under a small shrub next to the green tree while nibbling on young leaves.
After this period of nourishment, it has begun to evolve. The body shape has not changed much, it is still as big as a palm, and the whole body is still round, but its speed and strength can be seen from its daily movements.
There have been significant improvements.
The color of its body has changed a lot. The original brown fur has turned purple, and the three black lines on its back have now turned gold, as eye-catching as a gold belt. The whole body is not only cute, but also very beautiful. Protective color
It is no longer there, but it has become brighter. I wonder if it will frequently encounter various natural enemies in the future.
But now Aoki has kept it as a pet, just like two giant squirrels, two pythons, two leopards, two pangolins, and two golden eagles.
It's strange to say that this pair of guys were not pregnant last year. According to previous years' experience, they should all be pregnant last year. Does it really confirm that "the more powerful the race, the lower its fertility"
law?
While Aoki was thinking, he accidentally spotted a strange and familiar plant.
"What is this? Why does it look so strange?"
It grows by the stream. The whole tree is only 10cm tall. It has 5 leaves as big as a pot lid, which are big and thick. Each leaf is like two green plates assembled in a V shape.
Spread separately on the ground. On the edge of the leaves, there are lateral buds pointing inwards, and there are 5 soft thorns growing inside the leaves.
"I don't know what this thing is used for. Why does it grow in such a weird shape? The thick leaves can't be to absorb sunlight, right? And it seems to have relatively few rhizomes, not as many as other plants."
Just when Aoki was thinking about this problem, a broken short branch fell from the sky, hitting the middle of one of the leaves. Then, under Aoki's surprised eyes, its two saucer leaves fell apart in less than 2 seconds.
It quickly closed within seconds, and then the lateral buds on the edges of the leaves bent and interlocked with each other, gradually completely enveloping the entire branch. Then, you could see some liquid spilling out of it.
"Why does it look so similar to a flytrap?" Seeing this scene, Aoki finally understood what it was. But he didn't know what the original form of this grass was, because Aoki didn't find any flytraps in this valley.
Traces of flyweed.
In terms of plants, apart from the devil's ivy outside the valley that can catch animals, the only one is this Venus flytrap. Judging from the size of its leaves and the closing speed, it should be fairly evolved.
After 4 hours, probably because the captured object would not move, the leaves began to open, revealing the dead branch.
Seeing this, Aoki was certain that it had evolved a mechanism to confirm whether the captured prey was an animal.
The five soft thorns growing inside the leaf are the same as the sensory hairs in the original Venus flytrap. They are used to determine whether something has entered the leaf. At the same time, after the leaf closes, it is used to determine whether the captured animal is an animal.
However, it is not without its shortcomings. Just like the dead branch, if there is no heavy rain to wash away the leaf, the dead branch will definitely remain on the leaf and continue to occupy the leaf. If this is always the case, then this leaf
The leaves used for hunting can be said to be useless.
Soon after, a 2-meter-long fishing snake swam in the direction of the plant, spitting out snake letters. When the snake swam closer, it moved its tongue close to one of the leaves, spitting out snake letters, and kept spitting out snake letters.
Trembling.
"There must be some smell that attracts this snake. It seems that the Venus flytrap has evolved a scent to attract animals."
The snake smelled it and felt that it was not dangerous, so it stuck its head and climbed up the leaf.
Aoki carefully watched the movements of the snake and Venus flytrap, and saw that the snake kept swimming up. When the whole head and front part of the body swam into the leaf, it touched the sensory hairs for the first time. Right here.
At this time, the two leaves of the Venus flytrap begin to close.
The snake was shocked when it realized something was wrong, and retracted its head in response. Although it was pinched by the edge of the leaf when it exited, it still managed to escape quickly with its strength.
"..." Aoki looked a little pained. There are still big flaws in the evolution of this Venus flytrap.
First of all, there is a problem with the pre-judgment mechanism. The sensory hairs close immediately when they are touched for the first time, which is unreasonable.
The second is to secrete a scent that can attract relatively large animals, which is a failure. After all, the catching leaves are not big enough and not strong enough, so it is impossible to catch large animals. If the pangolin is lured by it, then it will wait for the Venus flytrap.
There will be endless trampling.
Also, the original Venus flytrap has a limit on the number of times the leaves can be closed, I don’t know if it has that.
In short, Aoki is not optimistic about the future of this Venus flytrap. However, every animal and plant has learned experience from countless failures and evolved continuously before adapting to the new environment. Maybe after a few months, under the influence of vitality,
With catalysis, it might start to become perfect.
One day passed, and just as Aoki was preparing to start his third evolution in a few days, a major event related to Aoki suddenly happened in the world.
As various things continue to happen in Banna, China, such as giant animals, communication with animals, and environmental improvements, many countries are very jealous, although they have established research institutes in border areas of Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries.
Various spies are active in Banna and on the border, with the United States and the European Union being the most active.
Finally, hard work paid off. An American spy successfully entered the database of the Banna Botanical Research Institute and stole an incredible piece of information. In a few words of this information, the existence of the Vitality Tree was mentioned. Although this
The information only mentions the existence of the vitality tree in a few sentences, but it clearly states: vitality is produced by the vitality tree.
Subsequently, the United States did not hesitate to expose and sacrifice five spies to attract China's attention and search for another important information. The information roughly mentioned some preliminary research results on the vitality tree, involving the generation of vitality, living conditions, soil conditions, etc.
.
The American government was overjoyed to obtain this precious information. Since the Yuanqi research base was established in Southeast Asia, the key question of how Yuanqi is generated has been unresolved. In the research institute, many scientists have been working on this issue.
There have been more than a dozen arguments. Some said it was due to the leakage of special underground gases, some said it was caused by plant mutations, some said it was caused by microbial mutations, and some bolder scientists proposed that "there is an alien phenomenon inside the underground."
The conjecture of "small passage in space".
"It turns out that China actually has such good things hidden in it!" U.S. President Obama was excited and immediately convened a meeting with relevant personnel to discuss how to obtain greater benefits with this information.
