Aurora Soldiers

Chapter 119 Electric Berry

"Are you OK?!"

This accident actually startled others, who were worried about Xie Qian's safety.

Zhang Chengguang rushed over immediately and immediately saw that this guy's eyes were still open and moving around. He looked like his body was numb but he had not lost consciousness. He was relieved a little.

"Blank, I'm numb, how can this thing explode on its own? I obviously didn't do anything."

It took a while for Xie Qian to regain his composure. His facial nerves seemed to have not fully recovered from the numbness, and his face was still twitching uncontrollably.

"Electricity? This fruit can actually release that kind of purple electricity?!"

Professor Zhou from the research department said in shock.

Zhou Qinghong, deputy dean of the School of Physics of Guangjiang University, academician of the National Academy of Sciences, and one of several representatives of the Underground Base Research Department, is currently leading experiments related to the new world's physical rules.

"Last night, there was lightning and thunder. We tried to set up a lightning device to induce lightning, but we failed. The nature of lightning in the sky seems to be different from the original one, but this fruit can actually release lightning!!"

Zhou Qinghong and several other researchers almost rushed forward. No one knew the possible hidden value of this fruit better than them.

Lightning, even if the rules are different, is still an important form of energy. You must know that the reason why humans can enter a new era is precisely because electricity is studied and mastered!
  If we can study clearly how this fruit produces purple lightning, how to preserve this new nature of electrical energy, and how to use this energy, then humans can once again have convenient energy and regain some of the light of civilization!
  "Professors, don't get excited, this thing is still very dangerous!"

Gu Ningqing and others hurriedly stopped Zhou Qinghong and others. They were joking. Just because Xie Qian's physical fitness could withstand that electric shock, it did not mean that these old professors could also. If they were given one, they would probably suffer cardiac arrest immediately.

This would cause too much damage to the base area.

"Guys, please be patient. I'll give it a try."

Zhang Chengguang said.

He has the strongest physical fitness and the fastest reaction time. He is not very dangerous when he is prepared.

"After picking, be careful not to shake it violently. It may be that the contents of the fruit entered an unstable state after picking. Too much shaking caused the fruit in Xie Qian's hand to explode just now."

Gu Ningqing reminded in a deep voice.

Zhang Chengguang nodded slightly, walked to the tree, climbed up the tree, and carefully picked one of the fruits, trying not to cause any shock to its contents.

However, less than three seconds after holding the fruit with purple light in his hand, Zhang Chengguang felt something was wrong before he could even get off the tree.

brush! !

He immediately threw the fruit out. As soon as the fruit flew a certain distance, it exploded again, and purple lightning burst out from it.

Failed again?

Everyone frowned slightly. They could see clearly that Zhang Chengguang had taken off the fruit very carefully without shaking it too much.

"I see."

However, there was a clear look in Zhang Chengguang's eyes.

He waved and called Gu Ningqing, who quickly found him a kitchen knife without any blood spots and a raincoat.

Zhang Chengguang climbed up the tree again, cut off the fruit's rhizome with the kitchen knife in his hand, and then swung the raincoat in his hand to catch the fallen fruit in his raincoat.

This time, the fruit didn't explode again.

"This is."

Everyone's eyes lit up slightly when they saw this, and they seemed to understand.

Brush brush!
  Zhang Chengguang swung his knife continuously, and the purple fruits were chopped off one after another. They were rolled up in his raincoat. He chopped down about five or six fruits, and then he jumped down from the tree.

"When I just touched the fruit, I found that the power of the blood spots in the body seemed to be affected, so I suspected that the reason why the fruit exploded might have nothing to do with its internal structure, but because of our touch. , causing it to sense the biological vitality in our bodies and trigger some of its self-destruction mechanisms, so it exploded."

Zhang Chengguang explained.

"It is indeed possible. This is a special self-protection mechanism. Just like some plants evolve their fruits to be unpalatable or toxic. This is actually a way to protect seeds so that they can reproduce smoothly. "

"In order to protect its fruit from being eaten by other organisms, the fruit will explode when it senses a certain intensity of biological life force."

Professor Wang Fangyuan nodded thoughtfully.

"It's not just a self-protection mechanism, it may also be a means of hunting. Some smaller creatures may not be able to withstand such electric shocks and will die on the spot. Their bodies will fall to the ground and blend into the soil, becoming trees themselves. of nutrients.”

Professor Li said in a deep voice.

"It looks like vegetation with a very complete evolutionary logic. Did this thing really mutate overnight?"

Professor Wang said as he looked at the crack in the sky where light was still lingering.

Everyone understood what he meant. Perhaps this vegetation came from the other side of the crack?
  "Guys, it is quite dangerous to study this thing. You must be careful and be accompanied by a blood-stained warrior." Zhang Chengguang said solemnly. The group left here temporarily and entered the building. Zhang Chengguang wrapped his hands in purple light After Guo Guo's raincoat was carefully handed over to a researcher, everyone gathered again to discuss what they had just seen.

"It is now basically certain that the changes in the sky are causing huge changes in the earth's environment, among which the changes in vegetation are the most dramatic. The original vegetation on the earth has mutated to a certain extent, and some of their characteristics have been strengthened. In addition, , there are also some plants that we have never seen before, but it is not yet known whether they are mutations from Earth species, or whether they are plants on the other side of the crack."

"This enhancement should be due to the enhancement of some kind of vitality. The vitality of plants has become stronger through mutation, so the vitality contained in the food we obtain from the ground in the future may also be greatly enhanced. Does this represent ordinary people? It is also easier to obtain vitality, thereby improving the physical condition?"

"Also, is this effect only limited to plants? Are animals affected? Or, are there any mutations among humans? We need to investigate these carefully."

Wang Fangyuan said in a deep voice.

"Besides that, the most important thing is the discovery of the purple fruit. The vitality in the plant is embodied as energy that we can see, touch and even use."

"Do you still remember how long it has been since the disaster struck? How long has it been since the weather did not change? How long has it been since there was no lightning or thunder? After the old rules expired, where did all the energy in our nature go? Did it disappear out of thin air? Now it seems Not so, the first stage is suppression, and the second stage is integration.”

"The appearance of lightning and thunder represents the further integration of our world with another kind of rules. I am afraid that the original energies in our nature have completed some kind of transformation and are more in line with the new rules. We must study it as soon as possible. How we use this energy may be the key to reversing the situation."

Professor Zhou Qinghong said in a deep voice.

The meeting ended. Although it was still raining heavily outside, the research department was already very busy.

At the same time, within the city.

Bailing Park.

Heavy rain poured down, and more than a dozen evolved bodies gathered at the foot of Bailing, looking up at the top of the mountain.

The rain fell on them, but they didn't seem to notice it at all.

On the top of Bailing Mountain, there is a tower made of blood and bones.

Boom! ! Boom! !
  This high tower made of blood and bone seems to have some kind of thunder-inducing effect. Purple thunder and lightning fell from the sky, all hitting the high tower on the top of the mountain. Under the high tower, black and purple threads spread, and the violent purple thunder and lightning The energy was aroused and transmitted to the entire Bailing Mountains.

clap clap clap! !

Some of the dense trees on the white ridge seemed unable to withstand the force and exploded, showing the characteristics of carbonization.

After many trees were charred, new shoots emerged from their dead bodies under the continued stimulation of thunder and lightning, and grew into a new kind of vegetation.

The purple fluorescent leaf veins and fruits emitting purple light condensed rapidly on the tree.

On the Bailing Mountains, a large number of strange vegetation discovered by Zhang Chengguang and others are growing.

"Taking advantage of changes in the weather, we can quickly breed a batch of energy plants. Electric berries should be regarded as one of the easiest energy fruits to utilize after the natural vitality is converted through plants."

Vasily from Nest No. 1 looked at the slowly changing vegetation on the entire hillside and said softly.

"Unfortunately, the sky change can only last for three to four days. Our spiritual vitality reserve is no longer enough to cultivate more electric berries through the purple lightning of the sky change."

Norman from Brood No. 2 said regretfully.

"It is used to build some large-scale 'equipment' to help us develop more natural life force resources in this world. These should be enough for the time being."

Guti said.

"The main thing is over. Now it's time to deal with some little mice hiding around the city. They seem to be jumping up and down a lot recently. Let's wait until the weather change ends and locate these mice as soon as possible."

A smile appeared on Vasily's lips.

Two days passed quickly.

Everyone was gathered together by Professor Zhou and others from the Research Department.

There was a glass jar on the table, which contained a lavender liquid that seemed a little viscous.

In Professor Zhou's hands, he held another device.

A branch that looked like it had just been broken off a tree, with a hint of lavender veins in its cross-section, was connected to the peel of a piece of electric berry.

The peel, which was originally glowing, was now dull in color, only showing a translucent lavender color.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Professor Zhou put the end of the branch with the fresh cross section into the lavender viscous liquid in the glass jar.

next moment.

Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw that the translucent lavender peel, after flickering slightly, actually lit up with a dim purple light.
