Chapter 38 Dangerous Melon Seeds

The floating island in the New World has now become the research center of our guild. Many research institutions in Aisinger and Steel City have been moved here to carry out. First, this can increase the density, and second, if there is a danger, it will not affect other units.

The most important research facility in the New World is the biological laboratory I am going to now. As a senior research institution that successfully merged a cross-age biology such as a spear, I have always strongly supported their various research. However, compared with my investment, the output of these scientific researchers has been a bit unacceptable recently. Fortunately, there are finally successful experimental products this time.

As soon as I opened the gate of the experimental area, I saw a group of old guys running over. Then these madmen with no more than twenty agility lifted me up at a speed that I couldn't see clearly and rushed to the laboratory. I thought they were going to throw me into the fusion laboratory. Fortunately, I was put down as soon as I entered the laboratory, and then, the former director of the Royal Institute of Sky Clan and the current director of the Aisinger Biology Institute, came to me. "It's really not easy to invite you!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" I felt my whole body furrow when I looked at this old guy.

"We just completed several experiments and were planning to promote them, but the managers in the guild said that they could not use whatever you didn't confirm. So we had to invite you!"

"Confirm if you want to confirm. Why are you always staring at me? It makes me feel like a teenage mouse in a cage."

"Hehe, don't worry, we've done experiments with things this time, and it's very safe."

"Then let me see your experimental results!"

This time, without Harbo's instructions, the other researchers had immediately gone to operate separately, and a few people ran outside to move things. Through the three-layer reinforced crystal panel, I could see the super biosynthetic device in the center of the square outside. Currently, only our guild has this kind of thing, and its cost can make any medium guild go bankrupt. But just like other expensive experimental equipment, the output value of this thing is also very considerable.

Several researchers quickly pushed a row of small carts in front of me, and there was something on each cart.

Harbor introduced to me: "This is a synthesis direction we have only thought of recently. Because large biological experiments in the past have always failed, we thought whether it would be feasible to unilateral strengthening based on some kind of creature, so we made these things. Please see, this first item." Harbor took out a green crystal object from the cart and handed it to me, but this thing felt as warm and rough as wood. It was not as cold and smooth as crystals.

"What is this?" Because it is a synthetic item, it is an object that was not originally in the system. I have the technical identification skills and cannot see the attributes of this item.

Harbour explained to me: "This is the phytochemical core we synthesize."

"What's the purpose?"

"For merge with your combatants."

"Combatman? Are you referring to the player or npc?"

"All of all, as long as you think you need a combat land personnel, you don't even have to consider race and form, as long as you are a creature with entity."

"What's the effect? ​​What will happen after the merger?" I continued to ask.

"The recovery power is enhanced." Harbo introduced excitedly: "As long as you merge with this thing, you will have super recovery power similar to a plant, and you can regenerate even if your limbs are cut off. Of course, it takes a long time to regenerate wounds such as the size of your limbs, but after all, it can be regenerated. There is no need to find senior clergy or life mages, which can save time and money, and it will play a greater role in some places where clergy and life mages cannot be found."

Like real creatures. Most of the creatures in "Zero" can automatically recover from wounds, of course, the speed is generally very slow, but this ability is limited to wound recovery. If the wound is as big as a broken limb, it is impossible to grow limbs again. If this plant-based core really has the ability to regenerate broken limbs, it is indeed a good and successful experimental product.

I was just about to ask about the specific performance of this thing. Harbo added it in advance. "In fact, the regeneration of broken limbs is only one of its auxiliary functions. The real function of this thing is to allow organisms to have certain plant-based characteristics. For example, if plants are cut off, they can be regenerated. After this core is merged, the combatants will have the ability to regenerate their limbs. In addition, plants will not die immediately after being cut off, and they can grow again after connecting the broken branches. Our phytochemical core also has similar abilities. If our personnel's arms or even heads are cut off during the battle, they will not die immediately. At this time, you have thirty seconds to pick up the broken limbs. Although you cannot immediately enter the battle after the connection is done, at least you will not die."

"What? You said that even if your head falls off after merging with this thing, it will be fine? Doesn't the vital attack mean that it's useless?"

Harbo explained: "It's not that it's completely okay. You can only care for thirty seconds. For example, if your head is cut off, you just need to pick up your head and install it within thirty seconds. However, because the new head is not connected firmly, it is impossible for you to continue fighting. You must find a place to heal your wounds, otherwise your head will fall off the ground if you move too much."

"It's okay, it's just that you can just hold your head with your hand to prevent it from falling off. It's enough to have a hand that can hold a sword."

"I can't control you if you have to do this. But generally speaking, you should find a place to wait until your head grows before you can join the battle again. But no matter what, it is much better than if your head is cut off and you die immediately. At least there is more chance of survival. There is also one thing to note. Fusion of the phytochemical core does not mean that you are immortal. It is only effective for cutting damage, and if you encounter damage that cannot be restored, you will be done."

"What is harm that cannot be replied?"

"For example, if your head is cut off, this is counted as cutting damage. As long as you take the head back, the parts on your body are actually not reduced, so you won't die. Or if you get an arrow in your heart, it is a key attack, and you will definitely die. But our plant-based core can protect you for 30 seconds. If it is a sword stabbing, you can continue to shoot as if it is nothing, but if it is a bow and arrow, it will be different. After the bow and arrow hit the heart, it will block the middle of the heart, so that the wound cannot heal, and you will still die in thirty seconds. But if you can pull the arrow out within thirty seconds, it will be fine. But if you are killed by gunpowder weapons, it will be troublesome. Because the bullet will blow up the tissue in the heart everywhere, you can't restore it within thirty seconds, so you will die in the end."

"I understand. What you mean is that if the damage that cannot completely restore the damaged part within thirty seconds appears, it will definitely die, right?"

"Yes. That's what it means."

After getting confirmed by Harbo, I understood. However, it seems that gunpowder weapons in the game are very underdeveloped. Although there are many cannons and muskets, their power is incomparable to things in reality. Most people still fight with magic and cold weapons. Most of the damage caused by magic is irrecoverable, and this kind of damage is definitely useless. However, most cold weapons are cut injuries, and as long as you don’t get hit by heavy weapons like sledgehammers, it shouldn’t be a problem. If you think about it a little, you will find that there are obviously more creatures in the game fighting with cold weapons and claws and teeth than creatures that use spells to attack land. In this way, the use of this phytogenetic core is still very large, and at least it can completely defend against the throat-cutting tactics.

"I have invested so much money in you and finally achieved some results. It is worthy of praise."

After hearing what I said, Harbo immediately looked dissatisfied. "What is such a small result? This time we didn't just want you to see such a small result. Just now, this plant core was actually just the first finished product in the simple synthesis series, not that we don't have any other products."

"Oh? Then what else do you have? Let me see."

"These are all our products." Harbor pointed to a row of small carts next to him. "We were so excited after we got your funding, so we were a little overwhelmed by happiness. In fact, we didn't have the ability to synthesize large organisms immediately. Such purposeless synthesis was just a waste of time. Later we summarized the lessons. We summarized and studied the previous ideas and decided to start researching from the lowest-end synthesis type. As a result, we got a lot of results. The core of plantification you just saw was produced under this idea. Based on this idea, we also got this." Harbor handed the things on the second cart to my hands.

"Melon seeds?"

All the researchers in the entire laboratory fell down. After a few seconds, they got up from the ground one by one. "This is not a melon seed, this is a seed!"

"What seeds?"

"This will be unclear for a while. I want to ask you to take me to Aisinger and then I will demonstrate it to you on the spot."

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

“Absolutely not.”

"Okay, I'll take you there now."

Anyway, there are teleportation arrays and flying magic pets, so it won't take long to go back and forth. We soon arrived outside the city of Aisinger, but Harbo asked me to find someone to clean up all the trees outside the city. He said that this kind of seed would be used to replace these big trees.

I asked Harbo with some doubts: "Are you sure you need to clean up the nearby trees? This large forest is our natural barrier. It takes less time to clean it up, and it is not so easy to plant it again."

"You don't have to worry about this. Of course, I have a way to replenish these trees to let you clean up the ground."

"Okay then! You have to be responsible for anything happening."

"Don't worry!"

With Harbor's promise, I mobilized a large number of logging tools and a large number of workers, and also brought some of the guild's strong destructive personnel to help. Anyway, the task now is to deal with these trees, not to get wood, so it doesn't matter if it's destructive mining.

Although this forest is large, it took us more than two hours to clear the near Eisinger's blank area under the fire and sea of ​​insect attack tactics. There are more trees in the distance, but it will not be cleaned in a short time. So I didn't let anyone move. Besides, Harbo asked me to block this area so that the trees here were destroyed. So the forests that were left with the outer side could just block the view.

When the cleaning work was initially completed, I immediately said to Harbo: "Can you start demonstrating it for me now?"

"No problem, but please confirm that there are no enemies nearby to observe the personnel."

"No need. The nearby city's worker bee troops are all around, and it is impossible for anyone to hide from their reconnaissance."

The worker bee troops are not a bunch of bees. They are members of the Zerg who came to our guild with support from Zerg, including various types of Zergs. We are just used to calling them the Worker bee troops. These Zergs are not very strong in combat, but without exception, all of them have amazing fecundity. The number of any single-class land is millions of times the number of all players and NPCs in the guild, and their race types are as many as tens of thousands. Such a huge Zerg cluster cannot be kept in the city. So we arranged them around the cities controlled by the guild to be responsible for the alert and the first front, which is also considered as the purpose of the things to do.

Harbo no longer hesitated after getting my affirmation, and immediately began to demonstrate the function of the "melon seed" in his hand. He dug a small hole on the ground, put the "melon seed" in, and gently covered the soil. Then he took a small bottle from behind, carefully opened the lid and poured two drops of green liquid on the small pile of soil. After completing this action, Harbo quickly covered the bottle and put it away, then turned around and took a deep breath. Then he pulled me up and ran away. The speed really made me doubt whether this old guy was hiding his age.

We rushed back to the gate of Aisinger like a gust of wind, and then braked suddenly. Harbor turned around and looked at the place where the seeds were buried in the distance, then took a pocket watch and counted: "Five, four, three, two, one, start."

The place where the seeds were buried suddenly turned open like a shell, and a huge green flower bloomed instantly at the place where the seeds were located like an explosion. The span of its huge flower body was at least thirty meters, and the highest place was more than ten meters high, which was really huge.

After the flower body was in full bloom, a faint rumbling sound suddenly came from the ground, and then I saw countless soil strips like ridges on the ground with the flower body as the center. As these soil ridges above the ground began to stretch out in all directions like tentacles, and their speed was surprising. As the speed of those soil strips became faster and faster, the soil strips in a certain place were suddenly turned open, and a huge green rhizome as thick as an undersea tunnel penetrated from the ground. Then it plunged into the soil again like a diving dragon. After pushing less than a hundred meters, it pushed out of the ground again, and then plunged into the ground again in the same posture as before. The other roads were similar, and the terrible green rhizome quickly spread out of the ground and dived again. It was like a bunch of monsters walking through the ground.

"The growth rate of this thing is really fast! When will they grow until they end? Why do I seem to be wrong?" Seeing the things quickly spreading in all directions, some of which extend towards Aisinger were obviously almost below the city, I always felt uncomfortable.

Habo was stunned by my questioning. "Stop? Hey... I seem to have forgotten this!"

"What? You meant that this thing wouldn't stop at all?"

"It seems...it seems...it's probably...it's possible..."

"You stubborn scientific madman!" I pushed Harbo away, then took out the leaves of the City Tree. "Activate the Aisinger Power Core and raise the Super Magic Protective Shield."

Just as I finished shouting, a thick stubble suddenly jumped out of the ground and rushed towards us. Harbo and I couldn't help but take a few steps back, but just as the thing was about to reach us, it suddenly hit a layer of invisible force field. With a sound of bombing, a circle of purple ripples swept in front of us and quickly spread out around us. The huge rhizome slowly slid down the invisible barrier like a big snake that was fainted. After these rhizomes, there were many collisions around us. The entire outer wall of Aisinger rumbled like a fireworks. The purple ripples kept rippling and flashing endlessly.

I looked at Harbo with a cold face. "Didn't you say it's absolutely safe?"

"It is indeed absolutely safe to wait until it is finished, but I forgot that the growth process is more dangerous."

"So when will it stop? Do you have to fill the entire surface of the earth with it before it stops?"

"That's not enough. Just wait for the auxiliary growth magic concentrate essence I dripped before to use up."

"How long will it take to run out of that thing?"

"At this speed at most, it will be almost done in one or two days."

The voice of the War God suddenly came through the leaves of the City Tree. "I inform you. The growth rate of the thing outside the city is gradually increasing. At this rate, at most, they can grow to the nearest city in one or two hours."

I immediately grabbed Harbo and asked, "Is there a way to slow down the growth rate?"

Harbo thought for a while, then suddenly screamed. "By the way, sunshine. That thing relies on sunshine as energy. If you can use something to block the sunshine, you can stop it. Anyway, the magic essence is emitted at a certain speed. When the essence is released cleanly, even if the sun comes out again, it will grow faster than ordinary plants at most, and it will not grow like this."

"You heard it?" I asked at the City Tree.

"I know, but I can't help it. The only thing that our corps can block the sun is the large-scale evil cloud in the necromancer, but the speed of release now cannot keep up with its growth rate."

"What should I do?"

"I have calculated the method." The calculation speed of the battlefield computer of the War God is indeed terrible. "I can immediately start the Aisinger mobile fortress and move it over the plant and turn on the divine fog wind chime to increase the coverage area. This can reduce the growth rate by about 85%, and can buy you ten more hours, but they will still grow to other cities in other guilds. However, you can use this time to borrow their sky-covering sails from Heaven. Just block this area completely and ensure that there is no sunlight within two days."

"Good solution, I'll go to the Heavenly Court to borrow the sky-covering sail. You can quickly start the mobile fortress to block the sun."

The God of War immediately said: "Mobilizing the air force in the guild to take off can also play a certain role in blocking the air. Will all those who can fly go out?"

"Yes, wait for me to come back anyway."

A huge radio sound suddenly sounded over Isinger: "All players from Isinger's city are not in the guild. Due to special circumstances, this city will be closed to the city. Please enter the nearest teleportation array within ten minutes to leave the city. After the time limit is exceeded, the teleportation array will be used. People who are still stuck in the guild are allowed to go offline by themselves. They can go online again after at least forty-eight hours, otherwise it will be regarded as a challenging behavior to the guild. The notice ends."

It's good to have a big fist. After hearing the radio, all the people who were not our guild started to move. Ten minutes later, Aisinger had no one who was not our guild. After the crowd disappeared, Aisinger moved the fortress on the top and suddenly moved out of the city. The flying dragons and Tianma in the city also flew out to help block the sun. Some smart players even pulled out a huge canvas in groups, so that everyone could grab a corner and stretch the canvas to cover a large area.

Everyone is working hard, and I am working hard. As soon as possible, I rushed to the heaven as soon as possible, I found the Jade Emperor and told me about the matter. The Jade Emperor didn't make any trouble when he heard it. Anyway, he just borrowed it and he didn't lose anything. A god general who received the order brought the Sky Sail to Eisinger with me and immediately released his magic weapon. Fortunately, it didn't take much time during the journey, and the crazy plant had not grown to an uncontrollable level. After the sun was blocked, it grew wildly for only two or three minutes and gradually slowed down, and finally it gradually became a slow growth rate that could not be detected by the naked eye.

Because it takes time to evaporate the concentrated magic essence, the God General and the Chatianfan have to stay for another two days. I can only invite the God General to live in Aisinger first. After arranging this God General from Heaven, I went to find Harbo again. This guy may also know that he was in trouble. He was so nervous when he saw me.

As soon as I came up, I reached out to stop his defense, but directly reminded him: "I can ignore your negligence, but there must be no next time." He was about to promise me that I would start first, "Don't rush to guarantee that this kind of thing can be done by guarantee. I think that the key issues must be improved by system. In this way, after I go back, I will set up an experimental appraisal department. They do not participate in the experiments, and specifically evaluate and identify the dangers of various experiments. Experiments cannot be carried out without permission. Products that do not receive safety certification must not be produced."

"I understand. This is indeed a necessary treatment. It's just this kind of thing..."

"This thing is too dangerous. You must not put it into practical use before you think of a solution. This tree on Esinger has been planted. You can't plant it anywhere else. Thanks to the experiment next to Esinger this time, if you were in another place, the compensation would definitely make the roses rush over and beat you into a pig's head."

"Accident, this time it was an accident, and there will never be any similar incidents in the future."

"It must not happen again. Okay. This time, let's see how the plant has been planted first. By the way, I forgot to ask, what is the name of this plant?"

"This is an experimental product. It is impossible to name it before it is finalized. The number we are using now is the 17th type of Plantized Beast."

"Planting beasts? Isn't this a tree?"

"Have you ever seen a tree growing so fast?"

"But no animal grows so fast?"

"So! It is a plant-formed beast, and it has the dual characteristics of plants and animals. Moreover, this growth rate is only in the early stage of development. Even if you use magic essence to water it every day, you will not be able to achieve this speed again."

"Thanks to this speed no longer, otherwise the enemy will not have to fight with us in the future when the enemy attacks Aisinger. Just pour a bottle of magic essence into this thing and we will be wiped out."

Harbo pulled me into a large newly grown forest amid my criticism. It was a clearing of clearings more than ten minutes ago, but in such a short time, the clearings that took us several hours to clear were completely covered by this terrible plant.
Chapter completed!
