Chapter 379

Three months in a hurry

This can be said to be Wu Peng and sun Yuting's busiest and most substantial three months. The pleasure of solving the mystery bit by bit makes them forget to eat and sleep and indulge in it. Wu Peng's girlfriend and colleagues also gave a great deal of support, because the cultural atmosphere in Kunlun Mountain is like this. Exploring mystery is more important than anything.

A big secret!

With the deepening of the investigation, the complete paper finally came out, which really caused a huge sensation in the human society of Kunlun mountain!

This paper analyzes the birth time of the "World Tree" from the aspects of biological gene, geography and religious records.

“…… That is, 150000 years ago, the so-called "World Tree" was born from this world

“…… The reason why we think it has a certain probability is that it was genetically modified by aliens, is based on the following reasons Sun Yuting put on formal clothes and delivered her thesis speech on the stage.

On hearing this conclusion, there was a little commotion among the people sitting below.

Zhang Yuan also showed his interest in what these young people have discovered.

"First, from the fossils of geography, we found the predecessor of" World Tree ", a tall tree named hw88987. Look, this is the fossil of this kind of tree..."

The screen shows a fossil tree, which has been buried underground for a long time, becoming dark and shiny, a bit like the direction change of coal.

But it's not really coal. It's something like Sunwood.

It was the first time that sun Yuting spoke in front of so many scholars. She was a little nervous at the beginning, but when it comes to her professional field, she soon became confident.

“…… This plant, from the level of genetic material, is very similar to the world tree. At present, there are still a small number of primitive forests on this planet. After field investigation, we found that it can grow up to 40 meters with a diameter of about 10 meters. Although it can be regarded as a towering tree, it is far less than the volume of the world tree. "

Compared with the photos, it is as big as an eagle and a chicken.

"Moreover, the tree core of hw88987 has no unique biomaterials, and there is no corresponding evolutionary trend So there's a big fault between the two species

Zhang Yuan touched his chin. There is a little truth in this statement. However, there are more creatures with evolutionary faults in the middle. For example, one step in the evolutionary process from the ancient ape to the human is too large, which is a bit inconceivable.

In fact, only a very small number of species are likely to leave a relatively complete fossil record of the evolution process because of their good luck. Most of the creatures will never find a fossil record.

Therefore, there is an evolutionary fault, probably due to the lack of fossils, directly attributed to alien transformation, is not sufficient.

Sun Yuting continued to explain: "compared with the world tree, this hw88987 plant still has a great disadvantage. The world tree can be said to be a comprehensive optimization. It can grow taller and occupy more sunlight. It is drought resistant and has strong vitality. It can also resist more viruses There are too many genetic changes

"But 150000 to 200000 years ago, the environment was very stable, and the whole planet didn't change much. Why does a species suddenly evolve in a stable environment? This is not in line with the law of species evolution

Evolution often follows the principle of "enough is enough", rather than the general perfectionism principle of artists. Hw88987 is already an excellent plant. It is impossible for it to be extinct. Why did it suddenly evolve to a level that other species can't surpass?

Several biologists at the bottom showed a thoughtful expression. One of them questioned: "Ms. sun, what you said is that the idea of alien genetic transformation is not impossible, but it's still a little abrupt..."

"From the perspective of gene analysis, we did not find too obvious traces of gene modification. Is it because the biotechnology of this alien civilization is so advanced that we can't see it at all? Or, in the past 100000 years, after generations of natural reproduction, this kind of genetic modification has been gradually smoothed out.... "

"By the way, have you found the most original fossil specimen of world tree and sequenced it? Or do we find the records of contact between aborigines and alien civilizations in religious classics? If there is any evidence of this... "

"Unfortunately, there is no direct evidence. The most primitive fossil specimens of world trees have no suspicious trace from the genetic level. " Sun Yuting shook her head. "The historical records in this area are completely out of date. The religious records of Riley civilization have no direct contact with the alien information At least we don't have, or say only, some inexplicable and difficult to interpret information in these documents. "

She blushed a little. Although she had spent a lot of time looking up information, it was impossible for a few people in the working group to look up all the historical documents of Riley civilization.So, some information is missing, maybe

However, the more distant the data are, the less they can be handed down. They have already turned over almost all the data.

"In the religious records of Riley civilization, the message of world tree appeared probably 150000 years ago..."

This religious record is like this:

it was a time full of famine. The gods had not visited them for a long time. The sky no longer rained. A big drought dried up a large number of plants and died.

At that time, the Riley people had already given birth to writing, animal husbandry, agriculture and gathering, but under the great natural disaster, a large number of tribes still fell into famine.

In order to get rid of the survival dilemma and find more food and water, the tribe sent a group of the bravest warriors to leave their territory and march towards the unknown nature

There are a lot of religious fables in the middle. I don't need to tell more about the stories I met along the way

In a word, in the end, the warriors of Riley civilization finally worked hard to find a big forest composed of world trees!

So far, the "World Tree" has become a part of religion, known as "The gift of the gods"!

"We investigated the area in the religious story, where a large number of fossil specimens were found. Because the fallen trees can not decay, they have evolved into a large organic mine, but the Riley people have no way to use it. The oxygen content in the atmosphere is low, and these organic minerals can't be burned. "

Another picture appears on the big screen, which shows that human geographers are investigating this organic mineral deposit. More than 100000 years is not enough to completely convert organic matter into coal, but these veins are still very high quality organic matter.

Its main element is carbon, from which a large number of industrial and chemical products can be extracted. Human workers are even planning to build some small refining factories nearby, refine some chemical products, and then do some chemical experiments.
