Chapter 233: No Matter How You Think About It, You Have to Have Three Plans
The Blue Silver King was lost in thought for a long time, so long that Mu Zhezi thought he had fallen into deep meditation. His branches and leaves are swaying gently, as if dancing in the breeze.
When Mu Zhe was deeply analyzing the genetic factor coding, Blue Silver King suddenly said something.
"My Emperor, I still don't understand why. Being weaker can increase your ability to survive. My Emperor, can you tell me?"
Blue Silver King's superior and old voice came from the faint channel, and his words were full of doubts.
Zhe is happy to answer this question. He withdrew from the immersion in Wei Dao, turned around, and showed a gentle smile to the Blue Silver King.
"Let's start with the creatures that everyone is familiar with. I think you must have heard of top-level soul beasts like the Titan Giant Ape."
Mu Zhe decided to give it a try and use a heuristic method to start talking about this problem. He hopes to guide the Blue Silver King to think and discover the answers on his own.
"The Titan Giant Ape, the Son of the Earth, is one of the strong men in the core of the Star Dou Forest. I have heard rumors about him from the news brought by Luo Ye."
"So are there many descendants of soul beasts that are as powerful as the Titan apes?"
"It is very difficult for the descendants of such powerful soul beasts to produce and survive. My Emperor, what exactly do you mean?"
The Blue Silver King felt that there was something in Mu Zhe's words, but he didn't understand what Mu Zhe wanted to express. His tone gradually became anxious, as if he wanted to know the context of the truth.
Mu Zhe sighed slightly. It seemed that for this old friend, he had to be urged to learn more knowledge recorded on Weidao.
"So the reason is actually very simple. When there are major changes in the living environment, for example, if a terrible natural disaster occurs and sweeps the entire Star Dou Forest and destroys all ecological structures." Mu Zhe said.
He drew a tragic scene in the air with his finger.
A huge fireball fell from the sky and hit the middle of the forest, triggering a catastrophic explosion.
Flames, shock waves, debris, and ashes ruthlessly devoured all life. The entire forest turned into a scorched earth in an instant, filled with only death and despair.
"Do you think the ones who can survive are the powerful soul beasts like the Titans, or the ditch rats that I even look down on?" Mu Zhe asked.
He pointed with his finger at another image. A small ditch rat emerged from the ground. Its body is grey-brown, its hair is sparse, its eyes are small, and its nose is wet.
It uses its keen sense of smell to find food and water sources, and looks around vigilantly from time to time. It looks weak, pathetic, and harmless.
A slightly exaggerated extreme situation was proposed by Mu Zhe as a thought experiment.
"The Titan Ape is more likely. Strong strength is a necessary guarantee for survival." Blue Silver King replied without hesitation.
In its view, this is a simple and normal truth. Only the strong can adapt to any environment, resist any danger, and protect themselves and their tribe.
The weak can only be slaughtered by others, can only linger, and can only wait for death. This is the value of Blue Silver King, and it is also the law recognized by all creatures on this continent.
"Ahem, it seems that is not the case. Without the protection and nourishment of the Star Forest, the Titan ape exposed in the scorched earth will only become the brightest target in the eyes of other spirit beasts."
Mu Zhe was still trying to guide.
"But with the strength of the Titan Giant Ape, there is no need to worry about these peeks from the weak." Blue Silver King's tone was simple and firm. In his opinion, this was a simple and normal truth.
"Well, let's put it this way, the growth of the titan apes requires a large amount of natural resources and food supplies. Without these environments, the giant apes can only choose to migrate to other habitats that can meet their survival requirements."
"In these places, the giant ape will meet powerful soul beasts that are more suitable for the local environment. Because he cannot adapt to the environment, he will be replaced by a strong one that is more suitable for the environment."
"But the so-called ditch rats are different. They eat less and reproduce quickly. They can survive anywhere. They can be found in forests, snowfields, cities, and extremely harsh deserts."
"So what I want to tell you is that although Bluesilver Grass was powerful in the past, at a certain stage in history, environmental pressure or evolutionary forces made Bluesilver Grass choose the survival strategy of reproduction and diffusion." Mu Zhe said.
He pointed with his finger at another image.
Bluesilver grass is found throughout the continent, with its slender stems, narrow leaves and elegant flowers. They exchanged weak soul power and information, forming a huge network. They look weak, but they live forever.
"In that case, Emperor, why did you wake it up from the long river of time?" The Blue Silver King shook the branches and leaves. These questions were still a bit too difficult for it.
"I think you should have seen the new types of Blue Silver Grass I created. They have reached the limit of their own genetic factors. If we want to find breakthroughs, we may need older and more stable genes to complete optimization."
Blue Silver King silently turned over the report information recorded in the microchannel. Those reports seemed to consume a lot of spiritual consciousness, and his branches and leaves began to wither.
"Solving the food crisis? Isn't the existing food martial arts route more efficient?"
"Um, the food spirit route? Do you want me to mass-produce food spirit soul masters? Or do you want the spirit beast to have the ability of the food spirit? Or is it more difficult, by analyzing the production method of the food spirit, completely copying it? The skill to generate food.”
"All of these can be done, and there is really no problem for me, but how much can be produced? Mass training of soul masters cannot save nearby fires. Soul beasts have martial soul abilities, which can be said to be a dangerous step to subvert the balance between soul beasts and humans on the continent."
When saying this, Mu Zhe's eyes could not help but glance at the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest.
"As for the last method I just mentioned. You should know that the way this continent operates comes from soul power. And the operation of soul power is the key to maintaining the ecological stability of the continent."
"Soul beasts and humans absorb soul power to strengthen their own soul power and combine it with life energy, and then generate new soul power. After humans and soul beasts die, soul power will return to the earth."
Mu Zhe picked up a slope of sand and stared deeply. He used his divine mind to sense the soul power contained in it, and then blew gently, turning the sand into flying dust.
"The total amount of soul power in a region is actually limited. If I absorb soul power on a large scale in one place to make food, the soul power void will affect the balance of this region."
"If I build a soul power channel, what will happen to the soul power transmission process from other places? Will it disturb the original soul power flow?"
"Every move at my level will have a profound impact on the continent. The creatures living on this continent are still too fragile. They need to continue to grow."
Mu Zhe talked to himself for a long time, and the Blue Silver King silently closed the divine thought link, allowing Mu Zhe to satisfy his desire to perform.
Time jumped to the morning of the second day.
With the help and analysis of the micro-channel, Mu Zhe quickly created three different experimental plants. They were all new types of blue silver grass that he cultivated based on the sample genes and other soul beast genetic factors or law modules.
They all have a common feature, which is that they can use soul power to make food.
Scheme 1 This plant looks like bamboo in the Gramineae family. The hollow cavity can be used as a reactor for catalytic conversion controlled by enzymes. The huge underground bamboo whip network can complete the arrangement of the spirit gathering array and the absorption of water and various necessary elements.
Under the urging of soul power, the bamboo whip quickly generates new bamboo shoots and drills out of the ground to become a brand new reactor.
"Very good design, Weidao, seal this sample and take a look at our plan 2."
Although Muzhe was very satisfied with the design, he still sealed the sample. After all, once this thing is planted, the other plants on this land will probably die completely.
Plan 2 is a huge seed. When it is planted in the land, it quickly absorbs nutrients from the cotyledons. Under the urging of the embedded law of life, a mature plant is formed in the blink of an eye.
Then the plant grows many runners, and a large amount of blue silver grass appears on this land under the division of these stems. The free soul power in the air is also attracted and absorbed by these blue silver grass.
Only two quarters of an hour later, this huge piece of blue silver grass quickly died. And Muzhe dug out the huge block stems from where they died.
"This plan is excellent, and it also has a self-destruction program. It is suitable for land reclamation. Let's take a look at the last one."
Mu Zhe knew that although this plan was simple and fast, it also had certain flaws.
For example, it could not produce food continuously, and it would consume a lot of soul power, affecting the ecological balance around it.
So it is okay to prepare for emergency rescue, but if you can really keep the seeds, there will be endless troubles.
Plan three is a plant similar to an arbor.
The thick and hollow trunk is where the reaction takes place. The huge root system ensures the nutrition of the entire tree planting, and its huge crown absorbs the power of the sun and guarantees the supply of carbon dioxide. Moreover, these leaves form a perfect natural spirit gathering array.
After a while, one by one, plump and large fruits matured on the branches and fell to the ground.
Mu Ze gently patted the trunk, and the hollow trunk made a banging sound. "This is not bad either, suitable for producing food at a fixed point."
He opened a fruit. Inside was a substance similar to a starch lump, and it also exuded a hint of sweet fruity aroma.
"Except for the long time it takes to grow, and the need for the maintenance of the law of life, everything else is perfect."
The Blue Silver King, who had been offline, appeared again.
"My Emperor! Can these really be considered Blue Silver Grass?" The small plant was filled with big question marks.
"Speaking of this matter, I don't have the final say. You can go ask the 'ancestor' growing by the spring."
Mu Zhe pointed with a teasing look at the ancient Blue Silver Grass that was happily basking in the sun and enjoying the nutrients of the soil by the spring.
