I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Chapter 289 The most glorious and dazzling era in history!

The other experts were walking back and forth around the tree, discussing.

They didn't find anything special about the man-eating tree. Some people even deliberately picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the man-eating tree.

But the man-eating tree didn't react at all.

If the man-eating tree was conscious, how could it not respond to the sudden attack?
When Yuan Jingna saw someone hitting the man-eating tree with stones, her face immediately changed, and she shouted dissatisfied at the experts not far away: "What are you doing? Can you calm down?"

Several experts looked embarrassed.

Everyone came to Yuan Jingna and questioned her one after another.

"Isn't it said that the man-eating tree has self-awareness? You saw it just now. You hit him with a stone, but he didn't react at all. Do you call this self-awareness?"

"Did you see it wrong?"

"From the current point of view, the man-eating tree does not have any self-awareness. How about we try it again?" said an expert.

"It's entirely your own fault."

He felt a little happy in his heart, walked up to Su Chen and asked softly: "Did you see something?"

Yuan Jingna was said to be disgraced, and came to the man-eating tree alone in embarrassment.

At this moment, the huge man-eating tree suddenly started shaking.

He was frightened when he saw so many people.

The look in Su Chen's eyes was extremely focused.

Most people believe that Yuan Jingna deliberately made up lies to protect the man-eating tree.

Many experts say Yuan Jingna is crazy.

He knew that if he said it, no one would believe it.

But the man-eating tree is really like an ordinary tree, without any reaction.

"You don't have to be afraid. As long as you prove that you have your own consciousness, they won't hurt you."

The man-eating tree clearly understood his words before, why didn't he speak now?
Is this also a form of self-protection?

This made Yuan Jingna feel particularly uncomfortable, and her face turned red and white for a while.

It seems that some anomalies have been discovered.

"It's not that others don't believe you, it's that the facts are right in front of you."

Yuan Jingna frowned.

She gently stroked the rough tree trunk and spoke softly.

Seeing Yuan Jingna silent.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"They will hurt you if you don't do anything, so hurry up and move."

Others whispered.

She wanted to explain, but everyone pointed to the man-eating tree in front of her and asked her, "Since the man-eating tree is conscious, why is it no different from an ordinary tree?"

Yuan Jingna was speechless and didn't know how to tell them.

Yuan Jingna was thinking in her heart and wanted to express her thoughts.

Yuan Jingna shook her head in disappointment, pursed her red lips, and asked, "Don't you believe me too?"

Su Chen shrugged helplessly and analyzed him calmly.

How are they going to test it?

She would never allow it.

Are you going to hit the man-eating tree with rocks like you just did?

The last sentence he said was particularly serious.

Su Chen looked at the scene where Yuan Jingna was talking to the man-eating tree and felt that he was a little crazy.

test?

Suddenly, he spotted Su Chen in the crowd staring at the man-eating tree.

Not far away, Su Chen and others saw Yuan Jingna holding a tree and mumbling to herself, which felt particularly strange.

Yuan Jingna didn't know what was going on.

Obviously he doesn't believe Yuan Jingna's words.

She stood in front of the man-eating tree and shouted at him to move.

Su Chen glanced at Yuan Jingna and replied calmly: "I didn't see anything."

"They will protect you just as much as I will."

"You don't let others touch the man-eating tree, what can you do?"

"Man-eating tree, why are you so unsatisfied? Are you afraid of them? Afraid that they will cause harm to you?"

Everyone clearly saw the branches above the man-eating tree slowly rotating at a strange angle.

Finally, a spiral branch is formed.

Immediately afterwards, several other branches slowly rotated, forming the same spiral shape.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone was frightened.

At this moment, they finally realized that the man-eating tree did have self-awareness.

It is impossible for ordinary trees to change their branches like this at a certain moment.

Moreover, they discovered that the branches that had turned into spiral shapes were like spears, with the tips facing them.

The leaves shook gently on the branches, and suddenly several branches shot towards them quickly.

Everyone was so frightened that they turned and ran away.

After running a few steps, I heard Yuan Jingna shouting from behind: "Don't run, don't run, it's okay."

Everyone didn't believe it, so they didn't look back and kept running forward.

After running for a while, everyone felt that the distance was safe, and then they stopped.

They saw that where they were standing just now, they were penetrated by several branches.

Everyone took a breath of cold air and looked at the torn ground, with a hint of fear in their hearts.

The man-eating tree really has self-awareness and will actively attack humans.

Everyone's expressions became extremely embarrassed.

This is still somewhat different from Yuan Jingna's previous idea.

Previously, Yuan Jingna wanted the man-eating tree to have the ability to attack aliens.

Now he has the ability to attack. As for the power of the attack, no one knows.

But a tree actually has consciousness, which makes experts panic.

No matter what kind of creature, once it has consciousness, it is very terrifying.

Especially if you have a higher consciousness, it is even more terrifying.

There is a high likelihood of human casualties.

Just like the robots in the movie have self-awareness.

At this moment, many experts regard the man-eating tree as the enemy.

Now there is only one man-eating tree.

There will be more man-eating trees in the future.

In the future, the man-eating tree will become more and more conscious. Will it want to devour humans?

Will they want to occupy human homes?

These issues have to be considered.

Master Su Chen frowned.

When he heard Yuan Jingna say that the man-eating tree has self-awareness, this was the first thing that came to his mind.

I am also worried about whether the man-eating tree will bring disaster to the earth and mankind.

However, Yuan Jingna didn't think about this problem at all because she loved the man-eating tree so much.

Or, he knows it in his heart but doesn't want to think about it.

Anyway, he ignored this serious problem.

The Man-Eating Tree listened to Yuan Jingna's words and showed his self-awareness in front of everyone.

Immediately, it returned to normal, motionless.

Just like an ordinary tree.

Yuan Jingna came to the crowd happily, waving her arms, and everyone could clearly see the excitement on her face.

"Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it?"

"He really has a sense of self and it can really create some aggression."

"Our research was successful."

"The last words he said were for Su Chen. Because this was the man-eating tree that he and Su Chen planted together.

However, after he finished saying this, he found that the scene was eerily quiet.

There is not a trace of smile or excitement on everyone's face, right?

No one is happy for him

Everyone looked solemn, even Su Chen.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Jingna asked.

Everyone was silent and looked at the man-eating tree in the distance.

Yuan Jingna followed everyone's gaze, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Suddenly, I understood what everyone was worried about.

He explained to everyone with an anxious look.

"Don't worry, he will not harm humans. He is a warrior who protects us humans."

"He listens to me, like my child."

This sentence did not make everyone worried, but instead made them more worried about the man-eating tree.

If the man-eating tree really regards Yuan Jingna as its mother.

Then his consciousness should be advanced.

Advanced consciousness often has its own opinions, and this kind of self-assertion will definitely cause unimaginable disasters to human beings.

"Let's go back." Su Chen suddenly said.

Everyone nodded silently and walked back together.

In the conference room.

Su Chen sat in the middle, and the others sat on both sides. Everyone had a teacup in front of them, and warm water was poured into the teacup.

Yuan Jingna took a sip of warm water, stared blankly at the slightly rippled water in the glass, and fell into deep thought.

On the way back, he heard experts talking about the man-eating tree.

Also know what they are worried about.

He didn't expect that he told everyone about it, and no one understood him.

Some people even want to destroy the man-eating tree.

He clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

Su Chen coughed and moved his temples helplessly.

I didn't expect that planting man-eating trees would cause so many troubles. This matter is really difficult to deal with.

One careless move could lead to a disaster.

"Everyone, tell me what you think of the man-eating tree."

Su Chen got straight to the point and let everyone express their opinions.

Yuan Jingna raised her eyes slightly, staring at everyone nervously, her body tensed.

The whole figure is like a taut bow. Although there is no arrow on the bow, it gives people a lot of pressure.

Everyone knows that Yuan Jingna attaches great importance to the man-eating tree.

They spent so long with Yuan Jingna at Tiangong Base.

Everyone was embarrassed to say that they wanted to destroy the man-eating tree in front of him, and they were afraid that Yuan Jingna would be sad.

There was another long moment of silence.

Finally an expert spoke.

"The man-eating tree is very important to Yuan Jingna, we know this very well."

"We don't want to harm the man-eating tree, but we are facing a very serious problem now."

"The man-eating tree has an autonomous consciousness, and this autonomous consciousness is not under our control, which means it may harm innocent people."

Having said this, he looked at the silent Yuan Jingna and asked, "Jingna, do you admit this?"

Yuan Jingna nodded silently.

He wanted to defend, but he didn't know what to say because it was the truth.

"Okay, that's all I have to say." The expert said this and did not go on.

But the meaning is self-evident.

Someone takes the lead, and other experts begin to express their opinions.

What everyone said was quite fair and not too harsh.

But the meaning is very obvious, I hope the man-eating tree can be destroyed.

Otherwise, it will bring unimaginable disaster to mankind.

Yuan Jingna sniffed slightly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

No one present spoke for themselves.

What can I do?
At this time, Su Chen tapped the table with his finger, looked at everyone and said, "Don't make things so complicated or scary."

"As you said, if man-eating trees are planted in a large area, it is likely to bring disaster to mankind."

"But if we only keep this man-eating tree, there should be no problem."

When everyone heard what Su Chen said, they were stunned for a moment, then nodded.

According to Su Chen's thinking, a man-eating tree would indeed pose no harm to them.

Everyone feels that Su Chen wants to keep the man-eating tree.

In fact, everyone also has this idea, that is, they are worried that something will go wrong.

One expert questioned with a frown.

"Is there any danger in this?"

Su Chen waved his hand and said very firmly: "There will be no danger."

"With so many weapons in our Tiangong base, can't we still destroy a single tree?"

"Besides, it's just a tree."

"This tree has acquired self-awareness, and there must be other changes."

"We can conduct more research on him, and maybe there will be new discoveries."

When the experts heard the words "research", their eyes immediately widened, and they secretly looked like Yuan Jingna.

Normally, if Yuan Jingna heard that she was going to study the man-eating tree, she would definitely scold her or even lose her temper.

But today, she didn't.

Because he clearly knew that keeping the man-eating tree alive required a certain price.

And the price is to conduct research on the man-eating tree.

If we can't let experts study man-eating trees, then why do we still keep man-eating trees?

Why leave this hidden danger?
Just as he was thinking, Su Chen dragged his chin and started talking again.

"Since man-eating trees can produce self-awareness, I think planting other man-eating trees might also produce self-awareness."

"I plan to plant man-eating trees on other planets when our technology matures."

"In this case, it will not cause harm to us humans, and it can also attack species on other planets."

"Of course, this is just my preliminary plan and an idea. You don't need to think too much."

When everyone heard what Su Chen said, they nodded frequently.

This is a good idea.

However, it is not useful now.

After everyone voted, it was decided to keep the man-eating tree for the time being and study it.

The next meeting focused on the study of man-eating trees.

Everyone hopes that Yuan Jingna can extract substances from the man-eating tree.

Because the man-eating tree already has a certain degree of self-awareness and attack capabilities.

Others who go to extract substances from the man-eating tree may be attacked and may cause unnecessary trouble.

It's better to let Yuan Jingna go talk to the man-eating tree, maybe the matter can be resolved peacefully.

If you want other people to extract substances from the man-eating tree, they may use force, which is even more harmful to the man-eating tree.

Yuan Jingna had no other choice but to nod.

At night, Yuan Jingna came to the man-eating tree alone.

He looked at the growing man-eating tree in front of him, and suddenly he had a thought that even scared him.

If this real tree could grow bigger and bigger, it could fill the entire moon.

Will he not be harmed by humans?
Can it grow freely?
