The rough outline of part of Jupiter's history is already clear.
The Ancient Plate Tree lineage was a biological invasion launched by the Heavenly People on Jupiter.
But it was curbed and integrated by the Cave People civilization.
This indirectly led to a double loss.
The Cave People civilization perished, and the Plate Tree strategy of the Heavenly People also completely failed.
Da Vinci continued: "Chairman, the relevant detailed history and habits of the Cave People should be recorded in the Record Land. We can try to continue excavating Mud Tablets there in the future."
"But the most important thing right now is that we have obtained an important biological specimen, Symbiotic Type One. It not only can connect with Gem Cells but also maintains autonomy."
"Through it, we can use the Heavenly People's gems on a biological level."
As he talked about this part, the tone of this Minister of Medicine became even more excited.
"The Gem Cell system is very special. With our existing tools, we cannot directly conduct microscopic analysis, and can only treat the gemstone as a whole for applications. But Symbiotic Type One has changed this situation."
"Although it belongs to a plant from the Dead Sea that has never appeared on Earth, it still has a genome. This part can be analyzed, compiled, and modified."
"On the other hand, the catalyst experiments with the Time Flow Device have been very successful, proving that it significantly shortens the cultivation and experimental cycle of Symbiotic Type One."
"We don't have to directly crack the Gem Cells; we only need to decode Symbiotic Type One and operate the Gem Cells through it!"
"Plus, with Mr. Zhang Zhi teaching us 42 kinds of gemstone structures, we now have a breakthrough in the field of Heavenly People Gems. Whether in the microscopic or application domains, we can push forward simultaneously."
Zhou Yi was also delighted.
The research in the Heavenly Person Domain finally found a strong entry point.
He expressed his concern: "Do the Heavenly People still have absolute control over these Ancient Plate Tree line biological entities? For example, by giving a certain command, will these entities execute it unconditionally?"
"Chairman, life is extremely delicate."
Da Vinci did not directly answer. It said: "Take mycoplasma as an example. It is currently recognized as the smallest autonomous organism, with a length of about 0.3μm. Its genome size is only 580kb to 1.4Mb, dependent on the host for metabolism, with gene reduction evolved to the extreme."
"It has stripped away almost all unnecessary parts, leaving only the core survival components. Any part that is missing or added will result in a completely different form."
"According to the reasoning of old humans, if bacteria are considered as smartphones, then mycoplasma is like a feature phone that can only make calls and send texts."
"The more complex a life form is, the more functions and changes it bears, and this multiplicity of variation grows exponentially."
"The Ancient Plate Tree also belongs to the category of extremely complex smartphones."
Da Vinci explained: "Let's assume that the Heavenly People have strong and precise remote control over the Ancient Plate Tree lineage. Then they should have already completed their biological strategy for Jupiter, achieving their goals through microscopic manipulation."
"But from the results, it doesn't seem so."
"Based on our experiments and analysis, the Heavenly People's technology in the biological field is crude and simplistic."
Zhou Yi was stunned.
This was the first time he heard anyone say that the Heavenly People's technology was inferior.
It was also due to the unlocking of the agreement with the key program. Otherwise, even talking about Heavenly People would be taboo for Mechanical Life.
In this regard.
The Mechanical Knights indeed advanced the ideological liberation of the entire Mechanical Life group.
Zhou Yi was curious: "Why do you say that?"
"The Medical Department analyzed the genetic compilation in the Ancient Plate Tree body and found obvious traces of modification. The Heavenly People are not the creators of this life but modifiers. By activating the Prophet Mode, we can trace back to the source from within the compilation records and traces."
Da Vinci explained: "In the process of tracing, Turing found a large amount of redundant information within, as well as parts of the survival components that were damaged or altered."
"This indicates a severe lack of precision in genetic compilation technology."
"We eventually confirmed the methods of the Heavenly People through simulation and restoration."
"The transformation of the Ancient Plate Tree was not done on a microscopic or genetic level but through strong external environmental influences and pressure to cause directional changes, selecting the necessary parts from various changes. Simply put, the way they cultivated the Ancient Plate Tree is similar to how they manipulated and used Earth life in gemstone transformation experiments."
Zhou Yi suddenly realized.
Right.
The Heavenly People had been trying to find a substitute for the glass man, so they selected superior individuals from Earth's intelligent life but had not succeeded so far.
The transformation method was gemstone plus Light Imprint Skill.
If they could write and modify genes directly, they wouldn't need to go through so much trouble, as they also held the Green Gemstone representing the glass man's information.
At least, the Heavenly People are weak in life sciences.
They followed the gemstone technology tree. Due to physiological structure and technological path dependency, they could not directly touch deep life information.
They didn't actually care about life itself, but to maintain the Heavenly Person Gem Body, they needed subordinate units, so they kept Earth running as an incubator.
Their main focus and strong domain were energy; the Ring Solar Wall was a manifestation of their technological strength.
After figuring this out, Zhou Yi was enlightened, feeling a surge of excitement.
Another weakness of the Heavenly People was exposed.
Zhou Yi looked at the imaging vehicle next to him: "Can Symbiotic Type One be cultivated on a large scale?"
"As long as there are Gem Cells, they can rapidly proliferate and branch off."
Da Vinci confidently said: "Through the Time Flow Device, we can speed up this process and significantly reduce trial-and-error time. 4500 times acceleration is significant for plants."
"Turing has now found some special codes within this information."
"Those codes are highly associated with Gem Cells, suspected to be part of commands. Please give us some time, this information is vast. We need to sift through and verify the specific effects."
Zhou Yi was overjoyed: "No rush, take your time."
He rubbed his hands together.
This was equivalent to the backend code of the Heavenly People Gems, similar to the command within Gemstone Transformers. If they could get that, they could operate on the Gem Cells level freely!
He could even get more Gem Cells from the Heavenly People, or even use complete Heavenly People corpses directly.
"Additionally, Mr. Ni Ge also brought back some special species."
Da Vinci turned to the silent Mud Tree Person beside him.
Zhou Yi then looked at Ni Ge: "There are more?"
Ni Ge nodded: "Chairman, after confirming Symbiotic Type One in that adventure... I found traces of insects and their nests in the Dead Sea of my hometown, which we avoided."
"I thought there should be many Brain Arks there, but I found none."
"There were still living Mud Tree People there."
Zhou Yi was surprised: "Have the Mud Tree People found a way to resist the Usurper Worms?"
"You could say that."
Even though there was a turn for the better.
Ni Ge did not seem too happy.
He just recalled: "I met Mud Tree People wandering and swimming in the Dead Sea there. I was shocked but quickly found something wrong with them."
"Upon closer observation, I found they were no longer normal people, as they never communicated, had no expressions, just like corpses."
"Their bodies sprouted grass and flowers, some from their spines, some on their hands, feet, and backs, some even had their entire heads as flowers."
"These surviving Mud Tree People hunted Usurper Worms everywhere, with flowers and grass on their bodies able to prey on worms, feeding on them. They could directly survive in the Dead Sea, no longer needing fruits and trees, becoming stronger than ever before."
Ni Ge said in a sad tone: "But they were no longer the same kind I knew, becoming another type of monster."
Zhou Yi had a thought: "Did the companion plants mutate and evolve in the special environment?"
Ni Ge shook his head.
"I examined their bodies and found many modifications. Normally, a Mud Tree Person can have only one companion plant, but their bones, hearts, and blood all contained companion plants. Multiple plants coexisted in one body."
"Life Extension Flower took care of daily repairs and body maintenance, adventure vines absorbed energy, Insect Attracting Leaves lured the usurper worms close, and Insect-eating Grass captured and digested the worms...
"Only the appearance remained the same as the Mud Tree People, except the brain wasn't modified yet. All other parts turned into plant organs."
"These modification methods were commonly used by the Tree Department of the Mud Tree People. So the modifications were done by the Mud Tree People themselves..."
Ni Ge looked a bit dejected: "To fight against the worms, the survivors turned themselves into monsters and battled the worms."
"They became Plant People, hunting the worms everywhere... their brains were also influenced by the companion plants, having entirely lost the intelligence and thinking of the past."
"I tried to communicate with them, but they only stared at me blankly, couldn't speak or behave like people."
"The only discernible thing was that their gazes were gentle when they looked at me, maybe because their brains preserved the last bit of restraint and kindness toward their kind... they even gave me worms to eat."
As he spoke, Ni Ge's voice became lower, and his eyes reddened a little.
"Chairman, they are just empty shells now."
"I have no home."
The always optimistic and cheerful Ni Ge sounded sad.
Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder and handed him a can of soda.
"You're mistaken."
"This is also your home."
Ni Ge froze for a moment, then nodded. He rubbed his face with both hands, took a deep breath: "Chairman, I brought back two Plant People... have a look."
