Zhou Yi looked at Ni Ge sitting on the sofa.

This Mud Tree person was always optimistic and open-minded, but there was a rare look of seriousness on his face. The last time Zhou Yi saw this expression was when the Usurper Worm was discovered in the Evil Brain.

"Chairman, it's this thing."

Ni Ge pointed to a vine plant in a potted plant on the table: "This is the evolved adventure vine, which is integrated with the Gem Cells. Hei Fu took us to 23 Heavenly People vortices, and in 14 of them, we found the same kind of adventure vine."

"It's just that their scale and size differ slightly, which is related to the different rotational speeds of the vortex."

"What we can confirm is that this kind of adventure vine has indeed grown into the Gem Cells, forming a kind of symbiotic state. Around one of the Heavenly vortexes, a ring-shaped floating island has already formed, covered with floating plants, continuously rotating."

Zhou Yi asked Da Vinci next to him: "Have the test results come out?"

Da Vinci had come as one of the three imaging carriages.

The voice of the medical head came from the car: "Chairman, the test results are out."

"This adventure vine has been named 'Heavenly People Symbiosis Type 1' by the laboratory. In our reproduction experiments, Symbiosis Type 1 formed connections with the company's existing Gem Cells, establishing a symbiotic relationship in a short period. This indicates a high degree of compatibility with the Gem Cells, having undergone multiple iterations and able to quickly complete ecological matching."

Zhou Yi touched his chin: "Adventure vine is a companion plant cultivated by the Mud Tree People, it should be compatible with flesh and blood bodies. Gem Cells and flesh and blood bodies should be completely different structures? How can these two coexist?"

"Chairman, please take a look."

Da Vinci projected an image on the wall.

The image showed two sets of comparative data.

The left is labeled [Ni Ge's Adventure Vine], and the right is labeled [Symbiosis Type 1].

"The genetic similarity between the two is 99.971%, suggesting that Symbiosis Type 1 is highly likely a subspecies of the adventure vine. However, we cannot prove natural hybridization and the production of fertile offspring in the short term, so this cannot be the final conclusion."

"To ensure accuracy, we compared the entire genome and discovered common ancestry and unique genetic traits between the two."

"SNP differences <0.1%, chloroplast DNA differences <1%, nuclear genes <1%, all support the hypothesis that they belong to the same species."

"Therefore, we believe that the two are indeed the same species."

Da Vinci stated: "In control experiments, we also found that not only adventure vines but Pan Trees and Sky-reaching Trees also have similar effects of merging with Gem Cells."

"The difference is that Symbiosis Type 1 extends outward, which is related to its special evolutionary direction. The branches and leaves of Pan Trees and Sky-reaching Trees, however, are absorbed and merged by the Gem Cells."

The image on the wall changed.

A branch merged into the gemstone, gradually becoming a gem fiber structure.

Then another almost identical example, but with a slightly larger branch.

"These are sample experiments of Pan Trees and Sky-reaching Trees."

"Here is the case of the adventure vine."

After Da Vinci finished speaking, a brand new Gem Cell appeared on the wall screen.

A section of the adventure vine entered and also became fibrous, turning into extremely fine glass-like threads, but the outer part showed no significant change, even slowly stretching, and remained in good health.

"We used the multi-band Death Light reflector, originally designed to observe the vitality of plankton, but A-6 grade can see the basic path of Death Light inside."

"Observe this."

Under Da Vinci's pointer guidance, Zhou Yi noticed that after the adventure vine connected with the Gem Cells, it was like becoming an external limb of the Gem Cells. Light flowed between the gemstone and the vine, like connecting blood vessels or bones.

Inside the gem, a complex maze-like three-dimensional structure formed, resembling a network of nerves.

This situation was truly bizarre.

"Why does the adventure vine fit so well with the gemstone?"

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "Was this originally cultivated as a tool to leverage the use of the Heavenly vortices?"

Ni Ge hastily waved his hand: "Absolutely not, Chairman. Adventure vines were one of the first wild plants to be domesticated. They have strong mobility and probing abilities, successfully domesticated after numerous generations of the Mud Tree People, eventually coexisting with us. If it grew in the large vortex, the Mud Tree People would not be able to acquire it."

"As an explorer of the Mud Tribe, I can guarantee that it was cultivated for us to use after leaving the tree for exploration."

This hypothesis was denied.

Zhou Yi looked at Da Vinci's imaging car: "You should have a conclusion, right?"

Following the professional style of mechanical life forms, they would never bring up matters without progress.

Their work style is very stable.

"Chairman, at the genetic level, the adventure vine is highly compatible with the Gem Cells. This gene can be traced back to the earliest Ancient Plate Tree."

"In other words, the Ancient Plate Tree, as an alien species, carries information that naturally matches with the Heavenly Gemstone Cells. The probability of such a coincidence is like a monkey typing out Ni Ge's entire life experience on an enhanced controller with its eyes closed."

Da Vinci paused.

"For caution, we asked Turing and the others to activate the [Cultivation] program, using Prophet Mode to simulate experiments on the existing information of the Heavenly cells and the Plate Tree."

"Finally, we calculated the results."

"This gene is not naturally occurring but has been purposely implanted. It acts like a complex switch with precise parameters that only activates and forms a connection when it touches the Heavenly Gemstone Cells."

"The Ancient Plate Tree is a complementary life form to the Heavenly People."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but recall.

The Ancient Plate Tree is an alien species on Jupiter, with the natives being the Cave People.

His gaze became sharp: "Was the Plate Tree placed on Jupiter by the Heavenly People?"

"Yes."

Da Vinci's tone remained steady: "They are specially modified life forms, highly compatible with the Heavenly People, and a special tool created by them."

"Surviving in the environment of Jupiter is not by chance either."

"All results from careful calculations and planning."

"Jupiter primarily consists of hydrogen and helium, with extremely low oxygen content. Oxygen on Earth mainly comes from photosynthesis, an ecological system not originally present on Jupiter."

"The Plate Tree can directly absorb the Death Light from the Dead Sea, unharmed by extreme pressure, intense storms, and lethal radiation. After appearing, they rapidly proliferated, forming large-scale life groups."

"Wait."

Zhou Yi interrupted: "How were the Plate Trees planted on Jupiter? Passing through Jupiter's external storms and forces should be impossible, right? Da Vinci, the Moon People of the Light Core Body, went mad, severely injured."

"The company also planted Plate Trees and Sky-reaching Trees. They are not indestructible. Though highly adaptable and with short growth cycles, they are far from the Light Core Body level, at most achieving B grade."

"You are right."

Da Vinci's imaging car slowly turned, the display refreshing smoothly: "Therefore, the Heavenly People adopted a very ingenious method. They placed the seeds and roots of the Plate Tree inside the Gem Cells."

"We've conducted experiments, please take a look."

The wall image changed again.

A Gem Cell wrapped around fibrous Plate Tree slowly grew new leaves, forming roots, and the two naturally separated.

Da Vinci said: "Thanks to the Time Flow Device you provided, Chairman, we were able to conduct this somewhat bold experiment. Originally it was only used for microscopic life forms of plankton, and this is our first time using it on directly observable flora and fauna."

"The results were very successful, providing us with strong evidence."

"The earliest Ancient Plate Tree, we speculate, was brought to Jupiter by the Gem Cells—Heavenly People, completing the planting in this way."

"In the energy-rich environment of Jupiter, they rapidly grew and expanded, forming communities, even bringing an entire ecosystem, thereby completing biological invasion and occupation of Jupiter."

"Everything was perfectly designed."

"From the deep genetic information, tracing with Prophet Mode, it is better to say that the Ancient Plate Tree is an artificial primordial soup, able to give birth to a series of life forms based on the Plate Tree, including many trees, plants, and derived Mud Tree People."

"Through this method, completing a strategic breakthrough of Jupiter, and even directly controlling this artificial celestial body."

"Unfortunately, they encountered an unforeseen situation."

"That is the birth of Cave People civilization."

"The Heavenly People on Jupiter became tools, unable to transmit information, and the outside world could not observe the existence of the Cave People."

Da Vinci said: "The Cave People and the alien Plate Tree confronted and merged. The Cave People perished, but also led the Plate Tree's strategy to a significant deviation, ending in failure."

"The Cave People's genes exchanged with the Plate Tree genes, giving birth to two branches, Mud Tree People and Usurper Worms."

"Mud Tree People maintain the Plate Tree, expanding its scale. Usurper Worms attack and eliminate Plate Tree communities."

"It's instinct, a continuation of survival warfare."

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa, drinking cola while digesting this information.
