Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"Their biotechnology is truly astonishing."

Pan Wei looked up at the ancient tree, which resembled a skyscraper, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

They were the second group of biologists to arrive.

The previous group, led by Professor Dong Shihai, had already finished reading the data and left, while the rest of them remained to conduct research.

"Such a big tree can harbor the genes of intelligent civilization. Do you think it might have also developed 'intelligence'?"

The question was asked by a biologist from a major Eastern country in the Pacific Rim.

These were people that Mr. Wu specially sent to learn advanced technologies.

"Do plants develop intelligence?"

Pan Wei frowned and stared at the ancient tree carefully:

"Perhaps there really are plant civilizations in the universe, but at least the ancient tree on storage 1 cannot exist."

At this point, he glanced at the many scholars behind him and joked:

"Otherwise, how could we possibly survive?"

"Hahaha!"

"That's true, at least this ancient tree couldn't possibly exist."

"Professor Pan is talking about plant civilization, which refers to organisms with chlorophyll in their cells, right?"

"that is!"

The people behind him also started laughing.

However, standing beside them, Luo Ding, a biologist from the Kyushu world and an apprentice of Cyril, kept his brows furrowed.

Although the biologists spoke unintentionally.

However, even this ancient tree can be holographically projected using biological functions.

Is it strange that it has intelligence?

Its internal structure is even more advanced than fiber optics!

As for the claim that it would attack humans if it possessed intelligence...

Luo Ding glanced at the distant spaceship with a subtle look.

If I remember correctly, there were always people guarding the high-energy weapons on the spaceship.

In this situation, attacking would be foolish!

However, all of this is just speculation.

Can plants truly contribute to civilization or possess intelligence?

Luo Ding was deep in thought.

It is through the plant system that intelligence can develop.

Is this reasonable?

Both are parallel universes, both featuring animal civilizations, and even humans are a type of animal.

It has come to this.

He was genuinely curious about the extent to which plants could develop intelligence.

Or,

If plant intelligence is discovered,

Their biology will turn a new page!

It is a completely blank field following the technologies of the Engineers Civilization and the Pioneer Civilization.

It is another form of life that engineers and pioneering civilizations could not even imagine!

"Alright, regardless of whether this plant has intelligence or not, let's continue our research!"

After a brief discussion, Pan Wei decided to begin his research.

His eyes were fixed on the enormous ancient tree, and he murmured to himself:

"Why don't we just suggest we dig this tree up and take it away!"

"Amazing!"

"I'd like to suggest it too!"

"So, will the higher-ups allow it?"

"Probably, since the data has already been read."

Will this tree die?

"Probably, we'll just try our best to keep it alive."

"It's alright. Even if I die, the data will still be there. I can use it to divide the tree later and leave me a piece of the heartwood."

"Then I'll just take a piece of bark."

"Hey, hey, why are we dividing things up now? My lab needs a piece of tree trunk too."

"Me me me me!"

"..."

One can imagine how brutal these scientists' words could be.

In the distance, the towering ancient trees seemed to sense an intensely strong malice.

The branches and leaves hidden on its back actually began to sway slightly.

I'm trembling with fear!

This... is definitely from being scared!

It was at this very moment!

"Didi dididi——"

In the distance, on the spaceship, an alarm signal immediately sounded!

Upon seeing the alarm signal, the biologist on board widened his eyes in surprise, rubbed them to make sure he wasn't mistaken, and then excitedly shouted into the channel:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a violent electrical signal fluctuation around this tree just now!"

"This electrical signal is extremely similar to the brain signals of a living being in a state of fear!"

"What you just said might have scared it, and made it reveal its true form!"

"Wow, this tree is a great hiding spot!!!"

Chapter 265 Truly Wise!

Pioneer System, Planet 1.

Beside the ancient tree, in front of the spaceship, the atmosphere instantly fell silent, eerily quiet.

The words spoken by the biologist stationed on the spaceship in the channel just now silenced everyone.

"Wait, Lao Wang, what did you say???"

Pan Wei rubbed his ears in disbelief.

Outside the spaceship, a group of biologists looked at each other.

Everyone was completely bewildered.

“I said that there were extremely strong electrical signals around that tree, which were very similar to the brain signals of a living being in fear.”

Old Wang, suppressing his excitement, spoke in a high-pitched, invigorated voice:

"We may have made a major discovery: this tree is fucking 'intelligent'!"

After repeating it once,

The biologists outside the spaceship were instantly in an uproar.

"Holy crap, is this tree intelligent???"

"They're really good at hiding things!"

"Could it be that our discussion about chopping him up scared him?"

"Can he understand what we're saying?"

"It might be something like biosensing."

"That's even more interesting!!!"

"..."

A group of biologists discussed it with great excitement.

Several times, even his breathing became rapid.
