Following the arrival of Xue Zhiwen, after a period of time, groups of researchers from Xingguo successively came to the location of the game characters.
Among them are botanists, zoologists, and geographers. In addition, there are also some security guards and construction workers.
Every researcher who comes into contact with game characters is trying every means to analyze the possibility of the birth of game characters from all aspects.
[Fang Chang: We analyzed some samples of it. The cells in it are much more active than ordinary plants, and the epidermis is much tougher than that of needle pine of the same type. And have you noticed? There is something about it.
This quality seems to actively attract animals to come close to it, and even live directly on it. When we stand near it, our breathing will be easier and more comfortable...]
[Qu Xiaoyan: There is nothing special here in Nanli Mountain. I still don’t understand how its intelligence is generated, and how is that kind of communication achieved? Also, it can directly manipulate objects out of thin air.
ability....】
[Xu Ji: It’s hard to understand. This has almost subverted all relevant research data in history. Its existence is a miracle!
】
.....
During their research, Lin Qian'an was also trying to see if he could teach these people to practice.
[Qingsong: Can’t you all see that energy? 】
[Xue Zhiwen: What energy? 】
[Qingsong: It can absorb and utilize the energy of heaven and earth.]
Xue Zhiwen was thoughtful when he heard the sound.
[Xue Zhiwen: Qingsong, you mean solar energy? 】
[Qingsong: Yes, besides the sun, there are other energies. If you can absorb them, you should be able to control foreign objects with your mind like me.]
Hearing the sound, Xue Zhiwen shook his head.
[Xue Zhiwen: No, Qingsong, you are special. Evolution has determined that there are some things you can do, but we cannot do, and there are some things we can do, but you cannot do. 】
[Qingsong: Really? Do you want to try it? Some small animals on my body are fine!
】
Hearing the sound, Xue Zhiwen was a little shaken.
[Xue Zhiwen: What should I do?]
[Qingsong: Come close to me and sleep.]
Xue Zhiwen had a strange expression.
[Xue Zhiwen: Is it that simple? 】
[Qingsong: What else? 】
After thinking about it, Xue Zhiwen decided to trust the game character, found a sleeping bag, and planned to sleep at the root of the game character's tree.
Lin Qian'an stopped the little animals that wanted to drive Xue Zhiwen away, allowing him to sleep peacefully.
With the game characters gathering the energy of heaven and earth, the air here is extremely fresh. After taking two breaths, I feel that my body is much more relaxed.
Soon Xue Zhiwen fell asleep.
Lin Qian'an took the opportunity to control the game character to start practicing the "Shenmu Sutra" to gather more energy.
As the leaves around the game character's body stretch, the energy gathered in the body is converted into the vitality of heaven and earth and spreads out directly with each breath.
During this process, Xue Zhiwen instinctively breathed some of the vitality of heaven and earth.
The vitality of heaven and earth is somewhat similar to spiritual energy, which can be regarded as a kind of energy that can subtly change life.
However, the vitality of heaven and earth in this world is extremely thin. Generally speaking, game characters rely on sunlight and thunder and lightning for their cultivation.
Of course, the practice of "Shenmu Jing" actually does not rely much on the vitality of heaven and earth.
Even from a certain perspective, the vitality of heaven and earth is actually useless to the "Shenmu Sutra".
"Shenmu Sutra" imitates Jianmu, and Jianmu needs chaotic energy. He uses chaotic energy to strengthen himself, and then spits out massive amounts of heaven and earth vitality to feed back to the world, achieving a state of symbiosis with the world.
That is to say, the cultivation level of the initial game character is still too low to extend the root system into the void.
If it can absorb the energy of chaos, the whole world will be able to set off a big storm like the revival of spiritual energy because of it.
After some time, Xue Zhiwen slowly woke up.
He stretched and moved his body.
[Xue Zhiwen: I feel like my old bones have relaxed a lot. It’s much more comfortable to sleep here. No wonder those animals like to live here. 】
[Qingsong: Look, I said you can absorb it! 】
[Xue Zhiwen: Qingsong, what do you mean? 】
[Qingsong: I see that when you sleep, you absorb a lot of energy. 】
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiwen quickly found the relevant staff and conducted a simple physical examination.
After some time, the test results came out.
It was found that his cell activity was much higher than normal, and some of the symptoms accumulated in his body over the years were alleviated, and most importantly, the aging rate of his cells was also clearly slowed down.
And the reason for all this obviously lies in the tree of game characters.
They know this very well.
Living close to this tree can greatly extend your life, and even strengthen your body so that you can use your spiritual power like it does?
All scientists were excited by this discovery, so the importance of the research here was once again raised.
The upper management of Xingguo decided to invest a lot of money in sustainable research on game characters.
After understanding that the vitality of heaven and earth expelled by game characters is crucial, a group of scientists also began to study how to obtain more vitality of heaven and earth, and how to absorb it more easily.
Later they discovered that after exercise, the pores all over the body open and close, allowing more energy from heaven and earth to be absorbed.
In addition, it is more efficient to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth in a state of unconsciousness.
As a result, a set of simple exercise methods and a simple meditation method were developed.
Perhaps because the researchers didn't have much talent for naming, the exercise method was called "Naqi Aerobics" and the meditation method was called "Naqi Meditation Method."
The workers and researchers working here have to choose a set for practice.
Either move or be still.
The research was carried out for more than a month. On this day, a thunderstorm came.
A group of scientists looked nervously at the game characters not far away in the shed they built.
Boom~!
A bolt of thunder landed on top of the game character without any bias, and was quickly absorbed.
Boom~Boom~Boom~!
One after another, all the thunderbolts fell on the game characters, making the scientists horrified and worried about them.
[Qu Xiaoyan: This is not the way to go. If the green pine is destroyed, it will be a loss to Xingguo and even the entire world. 】
[Fang Chang: How about we use drones equipped with lightning rods to guide the thunder to other places? 】
[Xue Zhiwen: It seems that this is the only way!
】
After hearing their exchange, Lin Qianan quickly spoke to stop them.
[Qingsong: Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. 】
Qu Xiaoyan looked surprised.
[Qu Xiaoyan: Qingsong? Are you really okay? 】
[Qingsong: I am not afraid of thunder cracks, and after being struck by thunder, I will grow faster.]
Hearing the sound, all the researchers became excited.
Everyone said that this was a big discovery and they should record it quickly.
[Xu Ji: I didn’t expect that the green pine has the characteristic of not being afraid of thunder and lightning, and can even use the energy of lightning in turn. Do you think it is possible for us to actively provide power to the green pine to make it grow faster? 】
[Xue Zhiwen: It seems feasible, but I think we should not be too reckless and eager for success. It is best to go back and test a little bit. And if we want to provide this level of electrical energy, it is definitely not a small project. 】
....
After a while, the thunderstorm ended and the roar of thunder disappeared.
After the rain, the sky cleared, and the drone began to fly into the sky, carefully looking at the place where the game character was hit by lightning.
Then they discovered that not only was the game character uninjured, but it was also growing rapidly under their noses at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, after this, the characters in the game seem to spit out more vitality of heaven and earth.
[Qu Xiaoyan: Does the power of destruction also represent rebirth? 】
[Fang Chang: Nature is really mysterious and shocking. You don’t know how I felt at that time.]
[Xu Ji: I am really lucky to be able to participate in this research. The seniors at the institute thought that Professor Xue made up a story to defraud funds and were unwilling to come!
】
After some communication, they began to communicate with the game characters and asked them how they felt after being struck by lightning.
How can Lin Qian'an feel?
He is just a gamer!
There's no way around it. Let's make one based on the state of the spiritual plants in the Tanzhong True Realm!
[Qingsong: It’s a little crispy and numb, and then I can grow faster.]
Hearing the sound, Xu Ji showed a surprised expression.
[Xu Ji: Does the green pine actually have such an obvious touch? 】
[Qu Xiaoyan: Obviously, it has evolved towards a more advanced life form. 】
Immediately, they proposed to provide power to the game characters to speed up their cultivation.
Lin Qian'an did not refuse.
In other words, this is what he came for from the beginning.
At the beginning, they used a small battery, and Lin Qian'an controlled the game character to absorb all the current stored inside it.
Then they directly used several diesel generators to generate electricity.
But no matter how much energy came, Lin Qianan would absorb it without fail.
As the research data becomes more and more detailed, they understand the game characters better and better.
Understand that this small amount of electricity has almost no effect on him, and even more electricity will not hurt the game character.
So under Lin Qian'an's inducement, they began to apply to build a circuit to transport electricity from the Xingguo power station for use by the game characters.
This was undoubtedly a particularly exaggerated event, but after a researcher showed off the results of his practice and set a new world record by directly lifting weights, Xingguo officials immediately agreed to the request.
Ever since, this [Shenmu Power Supply Plan] was launched.
The entire project is unimaginably huge, but if it succeeds, it can be foreseen that mankind will usher in a new wave of evolution.
And the center of this wave is clearly Xingguo.
The [Shenmu Power Supply Project] project took more than a year to be successful.
During this process, more and more research results were obtained. They found that the crops grown around the game characters grew abnormally fast, and the animals also became much larger.
At the same time, a few mutated into new forms.
Has some new functions.
The most important thing is that the staff living here have generally improved their physical fitness and feel much younger.
More and more researchers are coming here, and special bases have even been built.
The [Shenmu Power Supply Plan] is not just for powering the game characters, but also for powering the base.
After getting the consent of the game character, they wrapped wires around the game character's body, and then began to deliver massive amounts of electricity to the game character.
After obtaining this electrical energy, the game character's cultivation speed becomes faster and faster.
As a result, Lin Qian'an also reciprocated and gave guidance to these researchers on their practice.
The main thing is to help them optimize their cultivation methods.
[Xue Zhiwen: It is really easier to absorb the energy you discharge by doing this. Qingsong, how do you know that you can absorb more energy this way? 】
【Qingsong: I can see it.】
Xue Zhiwen nodded and recorded this information as if he had some understanding.
[Xue Zhiwen: I see. Does spiritual power have microscopic functions? 】
Three years have passed quickly. Thanks to Xingguo's continuous power supply, the game character is now growing much faster than before. Its height has grown again by thirty meters, reaching more than one hundred and eighty meters. At the same time, the tree body
It has also grown a bit bigger.
This body type can absorb more energy, its root system covers dozens of miles, its crown is huge, and it can absorb massive amounts of sunlight.
And at this height, even if it doesn't rain, he can occasionally guide the thunder absorbed into the clouds.
In addition, the game character's pure mental strength can already lift thousands of pounds of weight.
According to actual ratings, the current game characters should be considered to be at the second level.
Correspondingly, the lifespan of the game characters has also been increased by more than 500 years.
This made Lin Qian'an feel quite emotional. The only creature with good plants is the one who can survive!
If the human's innate ability were changed, it would be amazing to be able to increase the lifespan by a hundred years. However, if the pine tree becomes level 2, it will directly increase the lifespan by 500 years. The difference is not even a little bit.
It is also worth mentioning that with the massive energy of heaven and earth fed back by the game characters, the animals in the trees and the people in the base below have evolved to varying degrees.
Needless to say, your health will be better and your life span will be extended.
In addition, some cultivation geniuses have also initially accumulated mana in their bodies that is transformed from the vitality of heaven and earth.
But they have no magic power, and they don't know how to use it.
At present, it is simply regarded as a special kind of biological energy, which is mobilized from the cells for use when tired, or actively concentrated into the wound to speed up recovery when injured.
This is a very low-level usage.
The truly efficient way to use it is to use mana to interfere with the world and cast different spells.
It can also be used to refining items, so that they can be spiritually nourished by mana, or leave their own spiritual imprint, making them more convenient to use.
These are very common methods in the cultivation system.
However, the extraordinary system in this world has just begun, so it is normal not to know these things.
On this day, people in the research base were in a panic, it seemed because the existence of the game character was exposed.
There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that the game character is more than 180 meters tall and so huge that as long as you are careful, you can easily discover its existence.
So Lin Qian'an was prepared to be discovered from the beginning.
Lin Qianan found Xue Zhiwen and asked what happened.
[Qingsong: Professor Xue, what happened? You are so panicked.]
Xue Zhiwen's expression was ugly.
[Xue Zhiwen: Qingsong, your existence is known to Nigeria. They require us to disclose research data and open our base for joint research. This is pure hegemonism!
】
[Qingsong: Is that the most powerful country in the world? 】
[Xue Zhiwen: Qingsong, don’t worry, we do have a certain gap with them, but we will never give up our achievements to others so easily. 】
[Qingsong: Wouldn’t it be great to have more people doing research? It’s quite lively. 】
Xue Zhiwen shook his head.
[Xue Zhiwen: No, Qingsong, you don’t understand. They don’t know your specialness now. Once they discover your specialness, they will try their best to rob you or even destroy you. They will not allow Xingguo to continue.
With you, because of you, we have the possibility to surpass them, and your value is so high that it is unimaginable!
!]
[Qingsong: But can you stop them? 】
Xue Zhiwen was silent.
Obviously, this is very difficult for Xingguo.
[Xue Zhiwen: We will try our best!
】
Xue Zhiwen said a word feebly, and then continued to communicate with his superiors.
After a while, things got worse and worse.
In the end, after a half-year-long confrontation and even a situation that almost started a war, Xingguo agreed to Nigeria's participation in the research.
However, it seems that a lot of agreements were signed in the middle, and a lot of resources and technological support were obtained from Nigeria.
Scientists from Nigeria soon came to the game character one after another. Like Xue Zhiwen, they were first shocked by its existence. However, after learning that the game character was intelligent and able to communicate, they did not behave.
Very unexpected.
Obviously, a lot of news has already been leaked.
The research level of Nigerian scientists is obviously higher than that of Xingguo in some places. After their arrival, they quickly improved the original "Naqi Aerobics" to make it more suitable for humans.
At the same time, they also studied the energy released by game characters and various reaction data of human cells.
And with the help of materials mixed with the bark of game characters, tools that can initially utilize mana were developed.
On this day, a Nigerian scientist planned to cut down part of the roots of the game character and try to transplant it.
Her idea was blocked by Xingguo scientists, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel.
[Ya Yin'er: For such an important plant, if an accident occurs and we don't have backup, it will be a huge loss to mankind. It's just a little rhizome, which will never have a big impact on it. 】
[Xue Zhiwen: But you must consider Qingsong’s opinion. It is an intelligent creature. You cannot casually disable its body without asking for its opinion. 】
Yayin'er heard this and finally gave in.
It came to the game character and asked sincerely.
[Ya Yin'er: Okay, I admit that I was rude. Then, Mr. Qingsong, would you like to let me take some rhizomes? 】
[Qingsong: How much do you want to withdraw? 】
Yayin'er gestured a distance of about one meter.
【Ya Yin'er: That's it. 】
[Qingsong: Then you can take it!]
Lin Qian'an agreed generously.
He also wanted to see if the rhizomes of game characters could be planted separately and survive.
Afterwards, Yayin'er led their team to start working on the very edges of the game characters.
After cutting off two large chainsaws, they finally got a piece of rhizome, which they quickly flew back to Nigeria by helicopter and planted.
During this process, Lin Qian'an discovered a very strange situation, that is, he discovered that the game character had an additional switchable perspective.
But as soon as he switched over, he found it was pitch black and couldn't feel anything.
Lin Qian'an was confused, but she already understood that this should be related to the plant rhizomes taken away by the Nigerian scientists.
Time passed and several weeks passed in the game.
Suddenly one day, Lin Qian'an discovered that after switching his perspective, he could see the outside scene.
That is clearly another laboratory.
Looking around, he discovered from certain details that this place was actually within the country of Nigeria, and the character in the game at this time was actually another young pine sapling.
Doppelgänger?
Lin Qian is happy.
How can you still play like this?
Lin Qian'an guessed that this should be his characteristic as a game character.
It itself belongs to a whole in the game, but the plant can be divided and transplanted, so no matter how many branches it is, it will be regarded as part of the game character's body, and he can directly switch the game perspective there.
In this way, he can even make clones of the game characters spread all over the world!
And Lin Qian'an has a feeling that as long as one of the clones is not destroyed, the game character should not die.
This kind of ability to survive is completely incomparable to humans.
After trying it out, Lin Qianan discovered that the clone here can also be cultivated.
So Lin Qian'an asked him to hang up and practice directly, and at the same time switched the perspective back.
Then Lin Qianan had a discussion with Xue Zhiwen.
[Qingsong: Why don't you also cut some roots and plant them, so that other places can be like this in the future. 】
[Xue Zhiwen: Qingsong, do you think it’s feasible? 】
[Qingsong: I think it is possible. Maybe many plants like me will be born. 】
Hearing the sound, Xue Zhiwen's heart moved.
As a result, the roots of the game characters began to be destroyed again, dozens of copies were taken out, and began to be transported to various places in Xingguo.
Of course, even though so many roots were removed, it actually had little impact on the game characters.
At least from Lin Qianan's perspective, the speed of cultivation has not slowed down too much.
Just when Lin Qian'an's plan was being implemented smoothly, suddenly one day, several helicopters flew over the sky, and soon a group of heavily armed soldiers fell from the sky.
The guards of the base started a battle with them, but due to the suddenness of the incident and the fear of hurting the game characters, they were unable to use large weapons. Although they successfully repelled them, they were eventually taken away by this group of armed men for a small amount of time.
A batch of "sacred tree seedlings" that have been successfully cultivated.
Lin Qian'an could have prevented all of this from happening, but after careful consideration, he still decided to see which force took action.
Then, through the clone's perspective, Lin Qian'an saw them being taken to a tightly guarded military base.
A scientist in a white coat carefully took the pine saplings from the hands of these rude soldiers.
[Yuno: Be careful, these are sacred trees that allow humans to evolve, how can you treat them so rudely?]
Next to him, a middle-aged man who seemed to have a high position looked at Yuno.
[Blanco: Dr. Yuno, we paid an extremely heavy price for these saplings. I hope you won’t let me down. 】
The scientist named Yuno has wild eyes.
[Yuno: Don’t worry, General Blanco, as long as Carlo Country has the saplings of the sacred tree, like Xing Country and Ni Country, we can also embark on the path of evolution, become superhuman, and even achieve immortality!
