National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 50 The Great Wall
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman before?"

As soon as Lin Zhi set his eyes on the tank, it roared at him.

"Don't be surprised, brother. Xiaolan was like this when she was alive, and she didn't change this habit even after her death."

Hu Zi hurriedly explained, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand, leaving a black oily scratch.

"Xiaolan? Before death?"

Lin Zhi was full of doubts. Since coming to the Wild Beast World, he found that all the knowledge he had learned in Yujun University and its predecessor, primary, middle, and high school, for twelve years, had become a thing of the past.

There were many new terms and new knowledge that he had never been familiar with.

"Oh, Xiaolan was also a living person before, but she died in battle. Well, this is the alliance's military secret, do you want to hear it?"

Hu Zi looked at Lin Zhi.

"Military secrets? Forget it."

Lin Zhi quickly shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. Since you are a student of Yujun University, this secret doesn't need to be kept from you. How can we humans be invincible and fight against eight enemies alone in the alien world? It's because of our technological tree!"

Hu Zi showed his full white teeth and said proudly, "In the vicinity of human territory, human civilization is called the Fifth Calamity by alien races."

"The fifth disaster?"

Lin Zhi was stunned. This was the first time he heard of this statement.

I remember reading novels in my previous life, which also had similar descriptions of natural disasters. The four major natural disasters were intelligent machines, undead, insect swarms, and players.

What the hell is this fifth disaster?

"I also heard it from others. We humans have built Skynet relying on the technology tree. The gardener who possesses the mechanical spiritual plant and his divinely favored one will not be completely gone after death. As long as the soul is not annihilated immediately, it can be transmitted to the Skynet world through... um, through the watch or mobile phone on your hand and other devices connected to the Internet." Hu Zi said.

"What???"

Lin Zhi was really shocked. This was something he had never known before, and no one had ever told him. There was no record of it in any books, and there had never been any related content on the Internet.

"Don't get excited. This function also has many disadvantages. For example, it must be connected to the Internet. If you are in a different world, you have to build a large base station. There is one behind our city.

In addition, the more powerful the soul is, the more traffic it will take up and the more it will cost to transmit into the Skynet world.

Also, you can’t die too many times, otherwise it will easily lead to memory loss and damage to your soul.”

Hu Zi kept talking, and Lin Zhi was completely shocked by the soul transmission technology.

He said, "In this case, doesn't it mean that even if the mechanical gardener dies in battle, he can be resurrected through a mechanical body?"

"That's about right, but I heard that ordinary creatures have no vitality, and human souls will be rapidly depleted if they reside in them. Only mechanical spirit plants are the most suitable second bodies.

However, there is no mechanical system for wild spiritual plants. Only the gardener and the god-favored person he has signed a contract with can parasitize in his own spiritual plants. Other gardeners or ordinary people can only stay in the virtual Skynet world after death. "

Lin Zhi nodded.

That's right. If humans truly control life and death, they would be too powerful.

It turns out that the so-called rebirth is actually just a bug.

First, Skynet preserves the soul, and then because the soul is not destroyed, it can maintain the gardener's soul land and mechanical spirit plants indestructible.

It just so happens that although the mechanical spirit plant is a living being, it does not have the characteristics of its own soul, which makes it perfect for being parasitized by human souls.

So, after the gardener's death, he parasitized his own mechanical spiritual plant. After the mechanical spiritual plant was destroyed, as long as the soul was uploaded to Skynet in time, the mechanical spiritual plant could be repaired again, achieving a perfect cycle.

Lin Zhi understood the principle in an instant. At this time, Hu Zi continued to point at the psychic tower and beacon tower on the distant wall and said, "They are all soldiers who died in the war with alien races. After death, their souls are placed in mechanical spiritual plants and continue to guard the Great Wall. The souls living in the beacon towers were gardeners in their lifetime, and the souls living in the psychic towers, mechanical puppets, tanks, and fighter planes are the ones favored by God."

"I see!"

Lin Zhi suddenly understood everything. No wonder a battalion with only more than a thousand people including the gods' favored ones could not defend a section of the Great Wall that was 50,000 kilometers long, including the Guancheng.

5 kilometers is equivalent to more than one circle around the earth in the previous life. Even a supersonic aircraft in the previous life would take more than a day to fly.

The world in this life is too big. If Meng Xingchen wasn’t there to lead him and he didn’t take the teleportation array, even if he landed at the point closest to the Great Wall on the Black Ice Continent, it would take him more than half a year to cross the continent.

The Mechanical Great Wall stretches from the westernmost part of the Black Ice Continent to the middle of the Aoki Forest in the east, with a total length of nearly 9 million kilometers.

The Great Wall is 9 million kilometers long, with a fortress set up every 5 kilometers, where a battalion of troops is stationed.

Lin Zhi had never figured it out before. Even with the help of the Psychic Tower and the height of the Great Wall itself, more than 1 people would not be able to defend such a long distance, right?

Now, he learned the truth from Hu Zi.

It turned out that all the mechanical spiritual plants he had seen were parasitic on human souls.

No wonder I once heard a saying:
The mechanical Great Wall of human civilization will grow.

The reason is that the Great Wall is made up of mechanical spiritual plants.

Mechanical spiritual plants, like other spiritual plants, can naturally be cultivated, grown and evolved.

Especially after merging with humans, according to Hu Zi, the integration of man and machine not only makes it easier to control spiritual plants, but also allows for fine-tuning of the direction of growth and enhancement of spiritual plants, achieving a more than 90% chance of successful positive evolution.

No matter how powerful humans are, it is impossible for them to build a city 9 million kilometers long, over 300 meters high, over 18 meters wide, and with fortresses in a foreign world in just a few decades.

In fact, every part of the Great Wall is composed of mechanical spiritual plants that are parasitic on countless human ancestors.

When Lin Zhi looked at the Great Wall again, what he saw was no longer cold metal, but "Let us build a new Great Wall with our flesh and blood!"

It turns out that the reason why humans can defeat alien civilizations and achieve immortality is precisely because of the sacrifices and dedication of countless predecessors from generation to generation!

Thinking of this, he remembered the rat head in the cafeteria of Yujun University, the cursed psychic energy exchanged for him by the Logistics Department, and the logistics disruption caused by the shoddy construction of the Light Gate.

He couldn't help but feel resentful towards those parasites that sucked the blood and marrow of civilization.

If the Great Wall is breached, these ancient sages of the human race...

Lin Zhi didn't dare to think further.

"Ah, I was just busy chatting with you. I only did half of the job."

Hu Zi sighed and said, "Please go to the warehouse and get a few bags of super metal. I need to patch this tank."

"Any extraordinary metal will do?" Lin Zhi asked.

"Of course not, but the warehouse resources are not so complete now. It's just a minor injury, so we can only make do with it."

"it is good"

Under Hu Zi's instructions, Lin Zhi went to the warehouse to collect supplies.

Then he saw a ragged group of civilian adventurers surrounded by several gorgeously dressed and handsome young men.

"Where did you come from, beggar? How dare you block our young master's way? You wasted time and failed to exchange for the fire, which caused our young master's spirit plant to fail to evolve. Can you afford the compensation?"

A young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks said sternly.
