Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1225 Alien World (137)

The scenery of New Blossoms is becoming more and more open, the density of big trees is decreasing, and there are more and more low flowers and plants. The feeling of people is also from depression to openness of mind.

Suddenly, Oda Lima yelled: "Teacher, come and see, come on!"

Totekchaski walked over quickly, and Lima Oda seldom made such a fuss unless something important was discovered.

"Teacher, look," Oda Lima pointed to a cluster of bright flowers, "this morning glory has bloomed on the crape myrtle tree."

"Are you sure it blooms on the crape myrtle tree?" Totekchaski's jaw dropped in shock, because generally speaking, morning glory climbs on other trees at most, and it is impossible to bloom on other trees.

"Yes, the crape myrtle tree has bloomed morning glory." Oda Lima pointed to the root of the morning glory and instructed Totekchaski to take a look, because the old man's eyesight is not good, and he may not be able to see clearly.

Totekchaski finally saw clearly that the morning glory was indeed blooming on the crape myrtle tree. "What's so strange about the crape myrtle tree blooming morning glory?" Pang Xiaonan leaned over, thinking that you urbanites, haven't you seen the diversity of species in the countryside?

Totekchaski turned to Pang Xiaonan and said, "Have you ever seen a crape myrtle tree blooming with morning glory?"

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "No."

"It's not surprising without you!" Oda Lima glared at Pang Xiaonan viciously.

"Although I have never seen a crape myrtle tree blooming morning glory, can't all plants be grafted?" Pang Xiaonan said disapprovingly, "Maybe this is a petunia flower whose seeds fell on the crape myrtle tree, and then bloomed on the crape myrtle tree." Tweed."

Pang Xiaonan's imagination is very rich, but from the voice of the Black Mamba guards, it seems to make sense.

At this time Buckton Lin came over, because he found that the team had stopped and walked to the crape myrtle tree, he asked, "What's the matter, why didn't you leave?"

Pang Xiaonan turned to Buckton Forest and said, "Captain, they are studying morning glory on the crape myrtle tree."

Bu Ke Dunlin looked curiously at the cluster of colorful morning glory, and asked: "The crape myrtle tree blooming morning glory is really interesting, but, is there any explanation for this? I mean, is this strange? Or is it impossible at all?" ?”

Bucktonlin raised his head and looked at Totekchaski, and then at Oda Lima, meaning that you stopped to study the morning glory of the crape myrtle tree. Could it be that there are some important discoveries in it.

"Major Buckton Forest," Totekchaski picked up a morning glory, "you may not know it, but in a real environment, it is impossible for a crape myrtle tree to produce morning glory."

"Old man, are you telling the truth?" Pang Xiaonan felt that Totekchaski was making a fuss, and grafting is a very common technique, "Don't fool us, at least we have all eaten apples and pears, two different Can't plant species be grafted together to produce new species?"

Totekchaski picked up the morning glory and smelled it under his nose, and took a deep breath. The smell of the morning glory was fragrant, not like the light smell of ordinary morning glory.

He looked at Pang Xiaonan and said, "Strictly speaking, what you eat is called a pear apple. That's right, it is the product of grafting an apple and a pear. There is also a famous story in it."

Bucktonlin looked around and looked at his watch. The team had already walked here for an hour before they knew it. Everyone was a little tired, so he announced, "Everyone, take a break and listen to me by the way." Professor Tekchasky tells stories."

So, the scientific expedition team sat on the ground, surrounded by the black mamba guards, and listened to the ancient story told by Totekchaski:

Mihadov is an excellent primary school drawing teacher. He has taught drawing classes in this remote town for one year after another.As always, he evaluated the students' drawing assignments according to his own standards, and never made any mistakes.

As usual, Mihadov walked up to the podium with a playful mustache and taught students how to draw apples.He looked around the classroom, his mustache was shaking happily, he was very satisfied.Suddenly, his eyes fell on the desk in the corner. Sitting here was Eureka, who had just transferred to the class. His father was a forest ranger in the big forest. It seemed that he was deliberately making trouble when he was transferred to work in a small town due to illness. Yuri Ka's apples are long and round, with pointed stalks, and are painted pear yellow.It can be said that what he painted was not an apple at all. "Did you draw an apple?" The child replied, "It's an apple." "It looks like a pear to me." "Yes, sir, an apple that looks like a pear." Mihadov told the child angrily, Apples are oblate and should be light yellow with some bright red.His tone was very gentle, and he hoped to make Eureka give up this pear-like apple by using the teacher's usual methods of reasoning and probation.But the child didn't care about the teacher's gentleness at all. He said that in the big forest, half of an apple tree and a pear tree were struck by lightning. A tree with pear-like apples on one side.He has eaten this kind of apple.He is the only person in the world who has eaten this kind of apple, because the two trees only produced one apple. Later, the two trees rotted slowly and both died.

Mihadov, who listened attentively, felt a sneer from the end of the story.He tore off the page with a pear-like apple, "Either take out the apple you mentioned, or draw my apple obediently. Otherwise, never come to class again!" The whole class The classmates roared with laughter.This rustic little boy from the big forest huddled in the corner pitifully, but he still insisted stubbornly: "There is indeed this kind of apple, and I have eaten this kind of apple."

The next day, the child obediently walked up to him with a homework book full of apples.To Mihadov's surprise, these apples were painted better than other students' apples, but every round and bright apple was covered with spots of tears
If Eureka had been a liar, it would have gone that way.But after Mihadov's unannounced visits, Eureka never lied.Although Mihadov attended his drawing lessons as usual, his lovely mustache seemed to have caught a cold, and he no longer quivered with joy: the tears were deeply imprinted on his heart.Every class was a torture—he didn't dare to look at Eureka who was huddled in the corner, and he was even more afraid of the ridicule of Eureka from his classmates. Those sharp laughter pierced his heart like an awl.

He knew he had to find out if there were any apples like pears.He went to the ranger's house to inquire, he went to the post office to send letters, he asked everywhere, but there was no result.Finally one day, he jumped into an old car and rushed to the National Garden Research Institute a thousand kilometers away. After hearing his story, the horticulturist Michulin suddenly jumped up like crazy and took out the Drink vodka and toast him again and again to his story, to the thousand kilometers of dust on his body, to his venerable pain.Michurin said excitedly: "Dear Mihadov, I really don't know if there is such an apple in the world, but I must thank you. It will take at least three years to answer this question. Maybe, in the autumn after three years, I will Give you an apple like a pear."

Three years have passed.Suddenly one day, the door of the classroom was slammed open, and a man covered with thick dust came in.This is the great Michurin, holding two magical golden apples in his hands.Michurin stepped onto the podium and told the students the enlightenment he got from the story told by Mihadov, and the process of obtaining pears and apples by grafting: "This is a real revolution in the plant world. With grafting We have thousands of magical fruits that we have never seen or eaten. And the two people who started this great revolution, one is the drawing teacher Mihadov, and the other is the teenage student Eureka .”

Just like three years ago, Mihadov stood on the podium proudly, his mustache shaking happily again: "Students, let's draw an apple again. What I want to say is, please draw an apple that is different from mine." Apple. Eureka, please draw another pear and apple."

Eureka's painted apple was once again covered with tears, but it was Mihadov's teacher who accidentally got it on it.

Everyone listened quietly when Totekchaski told the story, and the audience was still silent until he finished telling the story.

Finally, someone realized that the story was over, and took the lead in applauding. Lima Oda even secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. What a touching story.

Pang Xiaonan gave Totekchaski a thumbs up and said, "Old man, you tell a good story. Your class must be very interesting. No wonder you can bring out such excellent students as Professor Lima Oda."

Pang Xiaonan made a pun, praising Totekchaski’s class level and Oda Lima’s excellence, which made people feel comfortable, but he changed the subject immediately, “According to your story, since you can have Pear and apple, why can’t there be crape myrtle horns?”

Totekchaski put the morning glory under his nose again, took a deep breath, and said: "The close relatives of animals and plants can combine, but the offspring have poor or no reproductive ability. For example: mules, lions, etc. This is the case with tigers, pears and apples. Tigers and lions, apples and pears all share genes. For animals with distant relatives, sperm and eggs cannot recognize each other and cannot produce fertilized eggs. Even if the cells are forcibly fused , genes from one species are not expressed properly in cells from another species, so the embryo does not develop normally."

"This is reproductive isolation." Oda Lima added, "In a broad sense, reproductive isolation refers to the inability of gene exchange between two species, which is also a sign of the emergence of different species. There are now 180 species known on the earth. There are tens of thousands of species, and scientists predict that there will be more species that have not been discovered so far. If these species go back, they all have a common ancestor, because they each embarked on a different evolutionary path, resulting in a larger and larger difference, and finally became different species."

After listening to the story of Totekchaski, many people started to do their own things, such as some people need to go to the bathroom, some people want something to eat, some people want to drink some water, everyone is still not interested in purely theoretical things, except Pang Xiaonan Listening to Lima Oda's explanation with relish.

"The biological classification of modern society: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species is mainly distinguished according to the relative relationship between species, just like the concept of grandfather-son-grandson and so on. For example, the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom are far apart, and if it is specific to the different species of each genus, it means that the relationship is relatively close. For example, tigers and lions are both cats - members of the genus Panthera, It is only under the genus Leopard that it embarks on a different evolutionary path. The higher taxonomy, phylum, class, order, etc. are all the same. It is easy to understand if reproductive isolation occurs between an animal and a plant , For example, how could a tiger have gene exchange with a tree. But when the relationship is relatively close, the two species can also mate, and what is even more amazing is that they can give birth to offspring. The most typical is the mating of a lion and a tiger A liger or a tigon is a mule born from the mating of a horse and a donkey." Lima Oda casually mentioned the basic theory of reproductive isolation while observing the crape myrtle tree blooming with morning glory.

"You mean, crape myrtle and morning glory belong to completely different species, and it is impossible to produce a union." Pang Xiaonan understood the meaning of reproductive isolation, and then understood why Oda Lima and Totek Chaski would open the crape myrtle tree. Petunias made a fuss.

"That's the reason." Oda Lima looked up at the flowers of the crape myrtle tree itself. This tree bloomed two kinds of flowers, which is really unimaginable, but they are also very beautiful.

"Since there is reproductive isolation between different species, and lions and tigers, donkeys and horses belong to different species, but they can mate and produce offspring, isn't this genetic exchange, and there is no reproductive isolation?" Li Yi Lewis also joined in. As a child of a family, sometimes he has to marry his cousin, which is also a difficult problem in the medical field, and genetics is also a problem that troubles Lewis very much.

"In fact, reproductive isolation has a more rigorous definition. It can be divided into many situations. For different plants, there are reproductive isolations at different flowering periods; for different animals, they may be different in size or reproductive habits and cannot mate. This is reproductive isolation; For those who are closely related, they can mate but the offspring are not fertile, which is also a type of reproductive isolation." In addition to doing research, Lima Oda is also a university professor. These problems are not unfamiliar to her, "That is to say Ligers, cetaceans, or mules are all members of the same genus because of their close kinship, and their reproductive habits are still matched, so they can mate and give birth to offspring. But due to more essential reasons, such as chromosomes Differences, genetic differences, the offspring produced cannot form normal gametes, so the offspring are infertile. In this case, although the genes of lions and tigers are jointly reflected in the next generation, the next generation will not continue Downward inheritance is directly terminated, so this is not considered to be genetic exchange.”

"It's too complicated," Pang Xiaonan looked at Li Yisi, "I think it's easier for us to practice well, and leave these academic matters to the professors."

Lewis nodded, and said, "There are specialists in the field of surgery. Professors do their work, so let's just do physical work."

Oda Lima looked at Li Yisi and corrected her: "You can't say that. I still want to learn Kung Fu from you. You also have to learn the necessary knowledge. Practicing Kung Fu not only requires physical strength, but also requires brains."

Pang Xiaonan winked at Li Yisi, then raised his legs and walked to the side.

Li Yisi followed, and Pang Xiaonan said to him: "Don't discuss with a professor-level woman, you can't beat her, and you will be murdered by her." Neither are professorial.

Lewis smiled, then frowned and said, "Hey, don't you think that the further we go inside, the danger seems to be getting smaller and smaller, I think it's a little weird."

"Oh, what you mean is that we must encounter some danger, which makes sense." Pang Xiaonan leaned against a tree, looking at the quiet scenery, "Maybe we have passed the test of New Blossoms, What we have now arrived at is Xanadu."

"Not necessarily. The petunias blooming on the crape myrtle tree we saw just now doesn't seem to be dangerous, but does this phenomenon also show that the environment here is a bit weird." Li Yisi looked at the surrounding trees and flowers Hastily, I want to find another plant that violates reproductive isolation.

"When you say that, I'm really curious," Pang Xiaonan pointed to the forest in the distance, "If a creature that doesn't look like a tiger or a bear looks like a bear emerges from the forest, it's really a proof of that. That's the weirdness here."

"That's right, since plants can interbreed so unscrupulously, then there's no need to mention animals. Animals are more mobile and active than plants." Lewis also looked at the distant woods, full of expectations.

"But it's better not to think so." Pang Xiaonan held a thick leaf vein in his mouth, shaking his hands casually.

"Why?" Lewis licked his dry lips and walked from the creek. He hadn't had a sip of water yet.

"Think about it, it's very difficult for us to deal with a single species. If there are more hybrid monsters, we will hardly have a chance of winning." Pang Xiaonan gave a vivid example, "For example, we have the speed of a leopard and a bear at the same time." The strength of the tiger, the ferocity of the tiger... It's scary to think about it."

"You're too promiscuous, and you have so many abilities at the same time." Li Yisi also admired Pang Xiaonan's imagination, shook his head with a wry smile, and took the water bottle from his waist.

"How is it impossible? You don't know that there are many mixed-races in Huaguo, with a lot of mixed blood." Pang Xiaonan's analysis is correct. Huaguo is a country of immigrants, and many people have grandparents of different bloodlines. No one knows which bloodline they are, and the mixture of various genes has also made the races of China rich and colorful.

The two were talking when suddenly an animal ran out of the woods.

"Look, is that a rabbit?" Pang Xiaonan pointed to the animal and asked Li Yisi.

Li Yisi looked up, and the bouncing animal did look like a rabbit, but it was much larger than ordinary rabbits, as big as an adult dog.

"Such a big rabbit seems to have good nutrition." Lewis was no stranger to the size of the animals in New Blossoms, and all the animals here were bigger than those in other places.

"Hey, how about we call that rabbit?" Pang Xiaonan winked at Li Yisi, but he rushed out with all his strength.

It's been a long time since I saw a live animal, and today's meal has not been settled yet, so Pang Xiaonan thought of roasted rabbit meat, such a big rabbit, no matter how much it can feed several people.

"Look, Pang Xiaonan is chasing rabbits." Several members of the scientific expedition team had already reacted, and were amazed at Pang Xiaonan's quick steps.

The moment Pang Xiaonan rushed out, Li Yisi also rushed out. He hadn't done anything in the Black Mamba Guard yet, thinking that being able to beat a rabbit would be considered a contribution to the scientific expedition team.

The hare was exceptionally flexible, dashing left and right on the grass, sometimes jumping and sometimes running, Pang Xiaonan couldn't help it for a while.

"Damn, this rabbit is about to become a jerk." Pang Xiaonan looked at the rabbit who was teasing him, and suddenly stopped, crossing his hips to think of a countermeasure.

Li Yisi saw that Pang Xiaonan stopped, while the hare was slowly pacing on the grass, occasionally biting the grass, as if deliberately laughing at the two people who were chasing it.

"Pang Xiaonan, let's block it at the same time. You chase after it, and I block it in front!" Lewis shouted to Pang Xiaonan.

"Okay!" Seeing that Li Yisi had joined the rabbit catching contest, Pang Xiaonan became excited, and with the wind under his feet, he rushed towards the rabbit again.

The hare reacted very quickly, and when it saw Pang Xiaonan start it, it immediately ran forward.

Suddenly, Li Yisi appeared in front of the hare, and the hare didn't panic, and just made a turn, passing Li Yisi's direction.

"It's the first time I've seen a human-rabbit fight." Nandegler leaned against a tree, watching Pang Xiaonan and Li Yisi running around the rabbit with great interest.

"Let's make a bet. I bet that Pang Xiaonan and the others won't be able to catch the rabbit." Bridge Morgan got excited and wanted to add some fuel to the rabbit fight.

"Okay, what are you betting on?" Wu Zhen immediately became interested when he heard that there was a bet.

"Bet 100 million." Bridge Morgan threw out the chips without blinking.

"Boss, you're too bold, I can't afford to bet on it." Wu Zhen was immediately scared off by Bridge Morgan's bet. He couldn't earn so much even if he worked hard on a mission, and he might risk his life.

Bridge Morgan frowned and said, "Then don't get angry, whoever loses will get under the opponent's crotch."

Wu Zhen also frowned, this was a gamble that damaged a man's dignity.

"Why, you dare not gamble?" Seeing that Wu Zhen did not respond, Bridge Morgan urged while wiping his gun.

"Bet, just bet, whoever is afraid of whom!" Wu Zhen was aroused, and spat fiercely on the ground.

The corner of Bridge Morgan's mouth raised. According to his understanding, it is very difficult for humans to catch up with rabbits. Even wolves and leopards in the animal world rarely catch up with rabbits.

Pang Xiaonan and Li Yisi are still working together to encircle and suppress, but unfortunately, every time Pang Xiaonan is about to succeed, the rabbit seems to be oiled on his body, and slips out of Pang Xiaonan's hand in one go.

While running, Li Yisi stopped suddenly and bent down to pick up something.

Then, Lewis restarted. When he was about 10 meters close to the rabbit, he raised his hand, and with a snap, a hidden weapon shot out of his hand and hit the rabbit's thigh.

The rabbit suddenly lost its sense of direction, and staggered to the side. Pang Xiaonan rushed to the rabbit with a quick stride, stretched out his hand, and lifted the rabbit up.

"Haha, I'll let you run!" Pang Xiaonan walked towards Li Yisi triumphantly, holding the rabbit's thigh.

"What hidden weapon did you hit?" Pang Xiaonan originally wanted to draw the Lingshi throwing knife from his waist to shoot, but Li Yisi did it first.

"It's nothing, it's just a pebble picked up on the ground." Lewis smiled, clapped his palms, and looked at the hare the size of a dog, only to find that the rabbit was grinning fiercely.

"This rabbit seems very fierce." Lewis pointed at the rabbit's teeth, "These teeth are too sharp, be careful, don't let it bite you."

"This guy, in my hands, still wants to be arrogant," Pang Xiaonan poked the rabbit's head, "I'll eat you in a while!"

The rabbit reacted violently, desperately looking up to bite Pang Xiaonan, but was thrown twice by Pang Xiaonan, and he couldn't move no matter what.

"Haha, Mr. Bridge Morgan, I won!" Wu Zhen gloated and turned to Bridge Morgan, "Come on, keep your promise."

Wu Zhen spread his legs apart, folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Bridge Morgan proudly.

"Well, I'll give you 100 million." Bridge Morgan obviously didn't expect to lose, but he said calmly, "Money is something that can be put in your pocket."

Wu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "Mr. Bridge Morgan, money is of course very important, but you have to admit defeat, please fulfill your promise."

Although 100 million made Wu Zhen's heart flutter, but as a tough man of steel, riches and honors cannot be lame. He planned to humiliate the rich man in front of him once and let him know that money is not everything.

"You really don't want 100 million?" Bridge Morgan looked at Wu Zhen strangely. He didn't believe that there were people who were against money in the world.Although the salary of the Black Mamba is not low, it is impossible to reach the point where 100 million is not considered money.

"Compared to 100 million, I prefer to see you slipping through my crotch." Wu Zhen's expression became serious, and today he decided to go to the end with Bridge Morgan, an arrogant guy.

"What are you doing?" Bucktonlin noticed the strangeness here, and walked over from the side, staring at Wu Zhen.

"Captain, we just made a bet. Mr. Bridge Morgan lost, and he will slip under my crotch." Wu Zhen spread his legs apart again, so that Bridge Morgan could slip.

"Nonsense!" Buckton Lin shouted at Wu Zhen, and then turned to Bridge Morgan, "Mr. Bridge Morgan, I'm sorry, I didn't discipline my subordinates well, please forgive me."

"Captain!" Wu Zhen was a little annoyed when he found out that Buckton Lin was helping Bridge Morgan, "This is a bet between the two of us, please don't interfere, Mr. Bridge Morgan must fulfill his obligation promise."

"I order you, get out there immediately!" Buckton Lin stretched out a finger and pointed to the distance, "This is an order!"

"Yes, Captain!" Seeing that Bu Ke Dunlin was angry, Wu Zhen immediately gathered his legs, gave a respectful military salute, and ran towards Bu Ke Dunlin's finger.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bridge Morgan, it's because I can't discipline well, and this kind of thing will never happen in the future." Buckton Lin apologized to Bridge Morgan.

"It's okay." Bridge Morgan turned his head away, secretly glad that Buckton Lin came over in time.

Pang Xiaonan walked towards Buckton Forest with the rabbit in his hand, and greeted him from a distance: "Captain, our lunch is in order."

Bucktonlin's eyes fell on the huge rabbit, and he sighed: "It's so strange that the rabbits in New Blossom are so big."

Several members of the Black Mamba Guard surrounded him, and Wu Yongqiang said, "You two are very skilled, and I'm going to shoot it with a sniper rifle."

Pang Xiaonan pointed to Li Yisi, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Li Yisi's hidden weapon, it's really hit the target."

"Hey, how does this rabbit plan to eat?" When it comes to eating, Davao Khan became interested, "Braised, steamed, or grilled?"

Davao winked with sweat, the rabbit was still alive and kicking, and his mouth was already drooling.

"You have a good idea," Pang Xiaonan lifted the rabbit up, making the rabbit's head level with everyone's eyes, "We have no tools and no seasoning, so we can only barbecue."

"How can you eat rabbits?" Oda Lima jumped out of nowhere.

"You've eaten all the spiders, and you still mind eating rabbits?" Pang Xiaonan gave her a white look, "Either you don't eat them, and we eat ours?"

"You are so cruel, such a cute rabbit can bite." Oda Lima touched the rabbit's head as she spoke. Unexpectedly, the rabbit showed a fierce look and opened its mouth to bite Oda Lima.

Pang Xiaonan pulled the rabbit back in time to let the rabbit succeed, but Lima Xiaotian turned pale with fright.

"What a fierce rabbit!" Oda Lima was still in shock, but made an amazing discovery, "This rabbit has a problem with its teeth!"

"What's the problem?" Pang Xiaonan mentioned the rabbit curiously, and said to the rabbit, "Open your mouth and let me see."

The rabbit really opened its mouth, showing its fangs, and biting at Pang Xiaonan. Unfortunately, its body was in Pang Xiaonan's hands, and Pang Xiaonan firmly controlled it, so it couldn't bite Pang Xiaonan at all. .

"This is not a rabbit's tooth!" Oda Lima observed carefully and came to a surprising conclusion, "It seems to be a canine tooth."

"Canine family?" Pang Xiaonan turned to look at Oda Lima curiously, "You mean, this rabbit has dog's teeth?"

"When you kill it...kill it, show me its teeth, and I will study it carefully." The word "kill" came out of Oda Lima's mouth, which made her feel a little embarrassed, she Turn around and walk towards Totekchaski to avoid the bloody scene.

"How to kill it?" Pang Xiaonan brought the rabbit in front of Li Yisi, asking for his opinion.

"Either give it a knife and let it have a good time." Li Yisi made a gesture of wiping his neck, which meant that he directly stabbed the rabbit's neck with a knife, causing it to bleed to death.

"This guy has wasted so much of our physical strength and is so fierce, I don't think we can take it easy." Pang Xiaonan looked at the rabbit with a smile, thinking to make you fierce.

"What do you want?" Li Yisi also laughed, he didn't expect Pang Xiaonan to be so cruel.

"What do I want?" Pang Xiaonan raised his hand suddenly, lifted the rabbit by its legs into the air, and then smashed it hard to the ground.
