Chapter 622 Mutated Plant Tools


Chapter 622 Mutated Plant Tools

Wang Tao experienced this vine elevator and can only say that it can indeed carry people, but it does not care about the lives of passengers. Fortunately, everyone here is capable, otherwise riding on this elevator would really be fatal.

Of course, in addition to the reasons of the vines themselves, this is also related to the height of the lift. After all, this mountain is very high, and the range of each lift is not short. You have to take the lift several times in a row to reach it. ground. It is naturally impossible to expect any kind of riding experience in this situation.

However, no matter what the experience was, Wang Tao was still very interested in these vines.

These vines are not biological weapons, but third-level mutant plants.

Can you make mutated plants obedient and even help humans work? Even Wang Tao can't do this! Because there is no way to communicate, mutated plants have no brains and are completely different from animals. Even if Wang Tao uses his mental power to communicate, it will not work.

So Wang Tao is very curious about how the people at the Red Maple Base control these mutant plants.

Perhaps because he saw Wang Tao’s eyes always on the vines, Xiang Bo, who was still a little dizzy, rubbed his temples and explained to Wang Tao:

“These are things that happened after the end of the world. You can probably see the mutated plants as well, as to how to control them. Yes, I don’t really understand. These mutated plants are under orders from the military. Anyway, they are not aggressive and will help with the work. We only need to provide them with land and provide them with nutrients regularly... ”

“That’s it”

Wang Tao nodded and did not ask any further questions. This is obviously a special method that is not humane to outsiders. Regardless of whether Xiang Bo knows it or not, he certainly cannot tell a stranger casually.

At this time, everyone has come to the ground.

From the sky, you can see that there are many buildings here, and they are all multi-story structures, but you can’t see the specific details. After coming to the ground to see these buildings up close, Wang Tao and others were very surprised - many of the buildings did not look like they were built by humans, or were built based on some plants.

There is a giant tree not far away, but it only has half of the root. This half of the giant tree is hollowed out. It has several floors and more than ten families live in it. At the top of the giant tree is an open-air terrace, with some clothes, pieces of meat, etc. hanging on it.

There is another house made of bamboo near this big tree house, but these bamboos have health bars, indicating whether they are alive or mutated bamboos. It's just that the current level of these bamboos is too low, not even the first level, so they only have health bars and no level. These mutant bamboos look like they grow in the shape of a house, with doors, windows and stairs...

Near the bamboo house, there is a huge warm yellow mushroom. This mushroom is dead, but given its size, it was at least an elite monster when it was alive. Now it has been converted into a house, and there are people guarding the door.

Besides these weird houses, the most eye-catching thing is the mutated plants.

Not to mention the vines that can rise and fall, there are also several huge leaves with eight legs. There are several seats fixed on the leaves, and there are people sitting on them. They obviously regard these mutated leaves as Transportation. Compared with these leaves, Chen Haolin's modified off-road vehicle is a bit strange.

On both sides of the road where the leaves walk, there are some slender and curved trees with some round fruits. Whenever a mutated leaf passes under the tree, its round fruit will appear. It will light up slightly.

“This is our lantern tree. It absorbs sunlight during the day and releases light at night. The road lighting at our red maple base relies on them... In addition to the lantern tree, we also have lantern grass and lantern grass here. They are generally for home use..."

Xiang Bo explained to everyone with some pride.

Although his strength is not strong and cannot be compared with Wang Tao and others, in terms of base environment, he feels that Wang Tao's base should not be comparable.

After all, there are many similarities between their place and the world before the end of the world. Although these are substitutes for mutant plants, they are better than nothing.

Xiang Bo estimates that the base where Wang Tao is located definitely does not have "plant technology" like theirs. Although Wang Tao is strong, he may not be as good as them. After all, all electronic devices are no longer usable. The human survivors have suddenly retreated from a technological society to a primitive society. Wang Tao and others will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

“Awesome! Man and nature live in harmony!”

Wang Tao praised him sincerely.

Hongfeng Base and Changhe Base have obviously taken two different evolutionary routes.

The current main energy source of Changhe Base is crystal nuclei, and the equipment made of crystal nuclei will not be damaged by this mysterious energy. Many things in Changhe Base now use crystal core energy, such as cars, power armor, some factory machines, etc. Although due to the existence of the barrier, electrical appliances and ordinary cars can also be used. But crystal nuclei are obviously the future, so Changhe Base has invested massive amounts of money in crystal nucleus research. The results obtained so far are still very good.

This Red Maple Base is different. Not only does it have no power facilities, it doesn’t even seem to have crystal core technology. What is currently shown to Wang Tao is "plant technology" - survivors and mutations. Plants coexist harmoniously.

It is impossible to judge the quality of Crystal Core Technology and Plant Technology. Wang Tao is not very familiar with Plant Technology, but judging from the current situation, Plant Technology is definitely not inferior to Crystal Core Technology.

Hearing Wang Tao's praise, Xiang Bo was not humble, but gave Wang Tao and others some popular science by the way:

"Haha, this is also a characteristic of our base - whether it is humans or mutant plants, They can all live well together and even help each other! For example, these 'leaf carts' need some special fertilizers, otherwise they will evolve very slowly, and only we can prepare these waste materials, so we Using fertilizer as a bargaining chip, invite it to help us pick up survivors..."

"Another example is the huge mushroom building. This mushroom was transported back from the night and was almost frozen at the time. It died, but its spores had not had time to spread, and were even frozen. We agreed to help it spread the spores, and in order to thank us, it agreed to empty its body before it died. The body will harden when it gets old, and we don’t have time to empty it out in just a short moment... The reason why we want to use this mushroom to build a house is because living here will make people less tired. Our city hall is a big Mushrooms..."

"Oh, by the way, there are also those mutated bamboos. They will emit a special fragrance, and the fragrance will be parasitized by some insects. They cannot detect it at first. Wait By the time we discover it, it's already too late - the parasites have a symbiotic relationship with them. If the parasites die, they will also die. But if the parasites don't die, they will continue to absorb their nutrients and let them gradually wither. During the bamboo shoot period, we help them find parasites to prevent them from surviving, and they grow like houses for us to live in, because the fragrance of bamboo is very good, and except for that special parasite, there are no other parasites. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants hate this smell, and the parasite is only harmful to mutated bamboo, but not only is it harmless to humans, it is actually a bit of a supplement, so houses built by them don’t have to worry about poisonous insects or anything like that! . You know, there are many poisonous insects in our place..."

"..."

Listening to Xiang Bo's introduction, Wang Tao and his group looked at each other, and they seemed to be able to see the meaning in each other's eyes - awesome.

Maybe this is "life will find a way out by itself". With the help of these bamboo plants, the red maple base can be built quickly, and it also provides convenience to the survivors in the base, and these plants are also helped, which is a win-win situation.

However, this made Wang Tao even more curious about the military and communication methods of the Red Maple Base. You must know that one of Wang Tao's hidden attributes at the time was [Plant Affinity], and he could feel the feelings of some plants. But that was only Wang Tao's unilateral feeling and could not be communicated.

And just through his feelings about plants, Wang Tao knew that these plants were brainless, brainless in the physical sense, and had no way of communicating at all. Even if it mutates and turns into a plant monster, its brain is not very smart and it still cannot communicate. So let alone hidden attributes, even powers or awakenings, Wang Tao felt like he couldn't control these mutated plants that didn't even have levels. At best, it can only be controlled for a short period of time. If you want to control it for a long time, you still need the other party to have brains.

For example, the biological weapon [Crystal Energy Poison Tree] placed by Wang Tao at Changhe Base has a brain and can make corresponding actions according to Wang Tao's instructions. Wang Tao does not need to worry about it. It is like an AI. It has certain intelligence but The emotionless one is a good tool tree.

And these mutated plants, which don’t even have levels, can make reasonable and orderly actions in this way. This is obviously a very powerful ability. At least Wang Tao cannot do it, and he can’t think of it for the time being. How to communicate.

The fact that the military is able to firmly control the entire Red Maple Base may have a lot to do with this technology.

"Mr. Wang, would you like to experience our leaf car?"

Xiang Bo immediately invited after the introduction.

"Okay."

Wang Tao nodded.

So Xiang Bo came to a place that looked like a public telephone booth, opened the door and went straight in. Visible through the clear window, he holds a vine inside.

Looking at the vine in Xiang Bo's hand, Wang Tao suddenly realized.

He used to think that news here spread very quickly, and he was a little surprised how they spread the news. It turned out that they used this kind of vine.

Wang Tao has seen vines that can transmit radio signals in cracks before, so it seems not unusual to have vines that can directly transmit sounds.

After Xiang Bo came out, he knew that Wang Tao might not understand it very well, so he explained some more.

“This is the communication vine of our base. As the name suggests, through it, we can communicate with any place in the base where there is a communication vine. I just called a leaf truck and it will be here right away... ..."

Xiang Bo arrived in a hurry just now. They were riding in a small leaf cart, so Wang Tao and his group couldn't fit in. Of course, a few more vehicles would be enough, and there are also spare leaf vehicles here, but doesn't he want to show off the superiority of the Red Maple Base? This large leaf vehicle is just right for Wang Tao to see.

While a few people were talking, a "dong dong dong" sound came from the road in the distance, and then a large leaf cart with 12 legs was seen walking over quickly.

Although this leaf car is only the second level, it still looks a bit oppressive due to its relatively tall size. If he had encountered this thing in the wild, Wang Tao would have probably chopped it off with a single slash.

After the leaf cart came to Xiang Bo, he immediately lowered his body to let everyone get on the cart.

Dong dong dong——

After everyone got on the car, it immediately spread its long legs and drove away with everyone.

Wang Tao originally thought it would be bumpy, but he didn't expect it to be pretty good. Compared with the vehicles on the road, it was definitely incomparable. But compared with those off-road vehicles in the apocalypse, it is still slightly better.

Of course, this also creates a contrast. The feeling of just riding the elevator is indeed not very wonderful. How uncomfortable it was just now, now it feels so comfortable.

Wang Tao looked down and found that these leaf carts seemed to abide by traffic rules. They knew to avoid stepping on some flowers and plants on the roadside and kept within the scope of normal roads. Even at intersections, it will slow down and other leaf vehicles will let it pass first.

Wang Tao saw clearly that neither Xiang Bo nor anyone else had any communication with the leaf car since getting on the car. It was only when he got on the car that Xiang Bo said something It’s just a destination... So, to a certain extent, this should be considered artificial intelligence? No, to be precise, it should be "plant intelligence"... Don't say it, it's quite interesting.

Perhaps they wanted Wang Tao and the others to see more of the scenery on the road, so the speed of the leaf cart was not very fast. While listening to Xiang Bo's introduction, Wang Tao suddenly said:

"Mayor Xiang, I think this leaf truck is pretty good, but why are there normal oil trucks in the city?"


Chen Haolin, Zhan Liang and other members of the Fiery Team were following behind in their cars. In addition to them, Wang Tao also saw ordinary vehicles on the road.

"Uh..."

Hearing this question, a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Xiang Bo's face. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:

"Ahem, these leaf vehicles are indeed good things. Compared with traditional vehicles, they do not require a driver or maintenance, so they are very convenient. But It has a shortcoming that other mutant plants also have - they can only be used inside the base and cannot leave the base, so those ordinary oil trucks are all vehicles that leave the base..."
< br>“Oh?”

Hearing this, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

The military’s method of communicating with so many mutated plants and making them work is limited to a certain extent? Interesting...
