Chapter 418 The World Tree's High Yield Shocks All Races of Terra
Lin Mo and Liu Chengen exchanged a glance.
In their eyes, there was the same overwhelming, uncontrollable elation.
The World Tree can connect to the internet!
The significance of this discovery is no less than that of finding a gold mine on Terra!
This means that the countless World Trees scattered across the surface of Earth will no longer be isolated entities in the future.
They will form a vast, unified biological network regulated by the Great Xia!
At that time, it will be possible to unify the direction of growth, build a complete surface ecosystem, and even develop more functions!
This is the real treasure!
Lin Mo forcibly suppressed his surging emotions, and he remembered a more crucial question.
He looked at the young man's face in the World Tree, his voice tinged with urgency.
"We need more World Tree seeds, not fruits. Can you speed up this process?"
The World Tree's spiritual fluctuations carried a hint of joy.
"No need for fruit? That's great. I like to produce seeds so that our race can take root and thrive on Earth."
Plants have a pure mind.
Reproduction is an instinct etched into their genes.
Lin Mo nodded and pressed for more information.
"That's right, just the seeds."
"At your current state, how long will it take you to transform all the fruits?"
The World Tree performs some calculations.
"It's almost time; the fruit is ripe and will soon be transformed."
"Based on the current energy supply, it will take about a year for all nine fruits to be converted into seeds."
The words fell.
Two exclamations, each carrying a completely opposite emotion, rang out simultaneously!
"What?! It's been so long!!!"
"What?! So fast?!"
Lin Mo's voice was filled with disbelief and disgust.
The voices of Elder Muyu, Kyle, Thorin, and others were filled with shock that defied all reason!
After the gasps, the scene fell into dead silence.
The Daxia personnel looked at the Terra delegation with incomprehension.
The Terra delegation, on the other hand, looked back at Lin Mo with the eyes of someone looking at a madman.
Their gazes collided in mid-air, sparking a phenomenon known as the "cognitive gap."
Lin Mo frowned.
Are you kidding me?
So many nuclear fission reactors, providing energy 24 hours a day, are being force-fed like ducks.
And so, it takes a whole year for nine fruits to turn into seeds?
This is incredibly inefficient!
If it were an energy crystal, it would probably drain several mineral veins dry and still not be enough!
On the other side, Elder Muyu's mind was buzzing, almost crashing.
quick?
That's more than just fast!
That's incredibly fast!
The World Tree takes a thousand years for its fruit to mature, and then it takes time for a single fruit to transform into a seed.
This is common knowledge that all elves on the continent of Terra are taught from birth.
To ensure the seed's birth, they even had to painfully remove the excess fruit, concentrating all their energy on the single remaining seed.
Even so, the World Tree will fall into a period of weakness lasting up to a hundred years.
But now...
In Daxia, only a few months have passed from planting the seeds to reaping the harvest.
Now, it only takes one year to transform all nine fruits into seeds?!
This concept is equivalent to telling a Daxia person that the land beneath their feet is actually flat.
No, it's even more outrageous than that!
This is equivalent to telling a man that he can get pregnant with 10 babies in one day and give birth to them on the same day!
Elder Muyu felt as if his worldview had been shattered.
He recalled Lin Mo's expression of disdain just now, and his lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.
The home companions that the elves have carefully worshipped for tens of thousands of years are, in the eyes of your Great Xia, nothing more than... a sow that can give birth?
And it was a sow who complained that she was giving birth too slowly?!
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Elder Muyu's old face turned bright red.
Lin Mo had no time to pay attention to the collective petrification of the Terra people; he was only concerned with efficiency.
He stared at the World Tree and said quickly:
"Can it go any faster?"
The World Tree's eyebrows twitched, and the texture of its bark undulated accordingly.
"Of course. If you increase the feeding intensity, I can shorten the time to six months."
Upon hearing this, Academician Liu Chengen immediately spoke up.
He pointed to the data stream jumping on the screen of an instrument next to him.
"However, according to our monitoring, your current energy absorption rate has already reached the threshold. Any more and it will overflow and cause waste."
The World Tree turned its gaze to Liu Chengen and patiently explained:
"I can reallocate energy and supply most of it directly to the fruit."
"In your vocabulary, this is called... adjusting 'priority'."
Liu Chengen suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.
understood!
It's like setting up a dedicated energy supply line just for the seeds!
After listening to their conversation, Lin Mo felt much more at ease. He then posed the last and most crucial question.
"As far as I know, the World Tree enters a period of weakness that lasts for a hundred years after it transforms its seeds."
"Is this due to insufficient energy supply?"
"If we maintain our current energy supply, can we completely avoid the period of weakness?"
The World Tree smiled: "Of course."
boom!
This bland answer was like the last straw, completely breaking Elder Muyu's mental defenses.
The World Tree's gaze turned to him at that very moment.
Elder Mu Yu blushed, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain.
"Energy crystal veins are ultimately finite, and regeneration takes time... Feeding them with all our might would be too costly..."
"We...we had no choice..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.
Only now did he realize how terrifying Daxia Technology was.
Lin Mo got all the answers he wanted.
Half a year!
Six months later, Great Xia will have nine brand new World Tree seeds!
Furthermore, the mother tree will not suffer any damage!
He felt a surge of heat rush to the top of his head, and his blood was boiling.
Suppressing his excitement, he patted Liu Chengen's arm.
"Academician Liu, I'll leave this to you from now on."
Liu Chengen nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with the fervent light unique to scientists.
The eyes behind the lenses were surprisingly bright.
"Commander Lin, don't worry! I guarantee there won't be any problems!"
"Six months later, the seeds fell to the ground!"
Lin Mo nodded, only then noticing that Academician Qian Zhenhua was not present.
He asked curiously:
"Why didn't Mr. Qian come?"
Liu Chengen waved his hand, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Don't even mention it. Old Qian's research project has reached its most critical moment. He locks himself in the lab every day to work on it. You can't even see him once."
Lin Mo frowned.
"Old Qian is already this age, we should tell him to take it easy, his health is the most important thing."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengen laughed heartily and said:
"Don't worry, you won't die."
"We've all drunk the water of life, and we're all in good health."
"Moreover, the life fruit that we bought for research was immediately ordered to be shared between Lao Qian and me after the research was completed due to its shelf life issue."
"You know what, it really works!"
"I feel like I'm more than ten years younger, and my lifespan has been greatly extended. Serving the country for several more decades shouldn't be a problem!"
At this point, a hint of regret appeared on Liu Chengen's face.
He looked himself up and down at his arms and legs.
"It's a pity that your physical condition didn't undergo a qualitative change, and you couldn't become a second-tier combatant overnight like Commander Lin."
"I guess it's because Lao Qian and I are both too old, and our bodily functions are declining. Plus, we only ate half of it, so the effect was reduced."
