Gu Cheng couldn't see Ye Han's expression and continued: "For example, alien creatures can't just look at cell classification, but also have to look at whether they have the ability to move, whether they have a nervous system, whether they have internal organs, and
Other key animal characteristics, only those with animal characteristics can be called animals, otherwise they can only be classified as plants!"
Ye Han rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking to himself, why are you talking so much useless stuff?
Gu Cheng couldn't hear Ye Han's thoughts and still didn't mean to stop: "You said there is digestive juice at the bottom of the pit. This is an obvious animal feature, but no matter what animal, it is impossible to have such a big stomach, and digestive juice
It is not a patent for animals, so I said this thing cannot be classified for the time being... But judging from the information we have, I personally think that the possibility of this thing being a plant is relatively high."
Ye Han said: "Then do you think this thing has value? For example, if it is placed around the city and other areas where giant insects are infested."
Gu Cheng instantly understood what Ye Han meant: "It's hard to say now. If it is indeed a plant, then it will be less difficult to use. If it is an animal, we have to see if there is any way to control it."
Ye Han nodded: "I understand...how to count the bugs in the pit?"
He has had so many interactions with alien forces, and his first reaction when he discovered there were bugs in the sinkhole was that the sinkhole was an underground space dug out by bugs.
However, a series of subsequent events showed that the tiankeng was not as simple as an underground space, which made Ye Han deeply suspicious of the tiankeng. He once believed that the tiankeng was a new underground space developed by aliens.
It wasn't until he discovered the bugs at the bottom of the pit that were eating the scientific expedition members' captives that Ye Han believed that these things had nothing to do with aliens. However, the giant bugs in the pit aroused his suspicion.
After hearing Ye Han's question, Gu Cheng thought for a while and said: "This is the first time I have encountered this situation. I can't draw a conclusion without studying it carefully, but I think the giant insects at the bottom of the pit and the sinkhole are probably symbiotic.
relationship, similar to the bacteria in the intestines.”
Ye Han was immediately stunned: "Is it possible?"
"The symbiotic relationship between bugs and sinkholes is definitely more complicated, and this is the only possibility I can think of at the moment." When Gu Cheng said this, he was particularly serious and thoughtful, "Don't be too presumptuous, it's not a big deal, just call it a day."
After aliens came to the earth, there were many things that were difficult to understand, and this one is no exception."
This is definitely the truth, and Ye Han agrees with it from the bottom of his heart.
I have asked everything I want to ask, and the remaining time is to watch the scientific expedition team collect samples.
Over this matter, Gu Cheng and Ye Han even had a conflict. The former hoped to go into the tiankeng to collect samples, while Ye Han believed that the scientific expedition team members were not suitable to go down and planned to send a few soldiers to complete the work.
However, Gu Cheng and others strongly disagreed, believing that the soldiers were not professionals and the samples they selected could not meet the requirements of the scientific expedition team.
In the end, both sides compromised. Gu Cheng arranged for two team members, and Ye Han sent two combat teams to accompany him. The remaining two combat teams were ready to support at any time.
For safety reasons, the combat team descended first. After the two combat teams entered the pit, they quickly set up a defense line. After ensuring safety, the two scientific expedition members slowly descended to the bottom of the pit.
Ye Han was very worried about the giant insects at the bottom of the pit. However, he didn't know whether it was because all the giant insects were dead, or because the swarm of insects knew that they couldn't do anything to humans. The giant insects living at the bottom of the pit simply couldn't hide. Ye Han was worried for a long time in vain.
, there is absolutely nothing wrong down there.
But that’s fine, the collection of samples went extremely smoothly.
The scientific expedition team members are really not vegetarians. They first collected the digestive juices from several independent puddles, and then extracted some giant insect tissues from different digestive juices. Some had just been soaked in the digestive juices, and some were already ready.
Obvious signs of digestion can be seen, and some are about to be melted by digestive juices.
This is only part of the research. The scientific expedition team also collected digestive samples from different locations of the giant insects, including insect meat, insect shells and internal organs.
Symbiotic giant insects are also within the collection range of the scientific expedition team members, and they are the focus of collection. Dozens of boxes are packed with various samples, and they are collected again and again. The boxes dropped in the first airdrop are actually not enough. Ye Han said
It was a pain in the ass, but I had to order Ningwuguan to deliver another batch.
The trouble doesn't end there. The insulating box is much larger than the sample box, but each box can only hold one kind of sample, which is no different from the sample box. The result is that each soldier has to carry one more insulating box.
Coupled with the one containing scorpion meat and the two thermos boxes each carrying, the soldiers looked particularly ridiculous, but there was no way. There was no cooking conditions at the moment, and the soldiers were reluctant to throw away the scorpion meat, so they had to carry it all on their backs.
After obtaining all the samples with research value from the bottom of the pit, the scientific expedition team also wanted to collect some samples on the side walls. However, the side walls were too close to the forked holes in the wall. Once they were attacked by giant insects, the consequences would be disastrous.
For this reason, Ye Han firmly rejected Gu Cheng's request and almost ordered the soldiers to come out directly.
However, Gu Cheng was equally determined and repeatedly demanded that side wall samples be obtained.
Moreover, his plan was very thorough. He had to get samples from the bottom, middle, and upper layers of the side wall, as well as samples from the dome and side holes. In short, the more complete the better.
That is to say, the conditions did not allow it, otherwise Gu Cheng would have wanted to dig through the bottom of the pit to obtain samples from under the pit. If the tiankeng is really a plant or a desert plant, then there must be a super developed root system at the bottom of the pit. He missed this
Once, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to get root samples from the sinkhole again.
It's a pity that Ye Han didn't give him a chance at all!
If safety can be guaranteed, no matter what position Gu Cheng wants to sample, Ye Han will not interfere. However, once safety issues are involved, Ye Han will immediately put on a business-like face, regardless of whether Gu Cheng is acting coquettishly or cutely.
I'm wallowing, I just don't have salt and I won't agree.
In the end, Gu Chengcheng had no choice but to resort to the ultimate trick of contacting Beidu.
Ye Han was happy to hear this. He was not the father of the scientific expedition team. Without orders from above, he would not have bothered to control the scientific expedition team. Now, Gu Cheng contacted Beidu himself. As long as Beidu agreed to Gu Cheng's plan, he would come out.
The problem is that the responsibility of Beidu and Gu Cheng has nothing to do with Ye Han and the soldiers.
Through the transfer from Ningwuguan, Gu Cheng quickly contacted Beidu. He didn't know which department he contacted. In short, he just reported the situation he encountered at the moment.
Gu Cheng was very honest about this. He didn't say a single unnecessary word, and he didn't slander him at all. Although Gu Cheng was not a gentleman, he didn't even know what was good and what was good. Including himself, the six scientific expedition members were all
It was Ye Han who rescued him with his soldiers. Even if it was an order from Beidu, he, Gu Cheng, had to accept the grace of saving his life.
If you don’t even have this bottom line, are you still a human being?
