My Super Apocalypse Tank - Chapter 372
c372 worry
The distance between the moon and the earth is about 38 kilometers to 400,000 kilometers, which means that it only takes about one to two seconds for light to reach the moon from the earth, but if the fastest human aircraft is used to fly to the moon, it will take dozens of seconds. minutes, while it took about a year for the roots of the mutant giant tree in Siberia to extend from the earth to the moon.
This speed is much faster than the growth speed of giant trees on the earth. I don’t know if it is because there is something on the moon that attracts it. Of course, Gu Ming is even more confused about why the roots of the giant trees are facing the moon. grow.
This is the twelfth time in a year that Gu Ming has flown the Kongtian mothership into low-Earth orbit to observe the current situation of the moon. Once a month, what he saw last month was that countless tree roots had reached the moon.
What Gu Ming saw this time was that the entire moon’s surface was completely covered with dense tree roots. A connecting belt composed of countless tree roots connected the moon and the earth. He didn’t know that the moon was covered with tree roots like this. Why doesn’t it affect the earth if it’s covered and doesn’t rotate? He doesn’t know what benefit it would have to the giant tree to have the two planets connected like this. Anyway, he looks confused now. He originally thought that the roots of the giant tree would directly hit the giant tree. The moon swallowed it up, and now it’s discovered that the tree roots are just connecting the two planets, that’s it?
Gu Ming directly brought Zhao Lao and Gu Ke, who were staying in the research institute, to the Kongtian mothership through the portal. He asked the two to look at the screen carefully. Gu Ke still had the expressionless look on his face. Zhao Lao’s His expression was similar to Gu Ming’s. He looked surprised, “Chief, does that giant tree want to pull the moon to the earth?”
It’s not surprising that Mr. Zhao has such an idea. Anyone who sees such a scene will think so. Gu Ming shook his head in denial. This is because he asked Pangu to calculate that the distance between the two has not decreased at all. It is still the original distance. These trees The roots just connect the two planets, as if they are building a bridge between the two planets in space.
“I kind of don’t understand what that giant tree wants to do.
Although Mr. Zhao is a famous biologist, he has no way to study that giant tree. In the past ten years, he has spent half of his time in the research institute in Siberia. He and other researchers from the two countries Scientists have conducted various scientific research and experiments on the giant tree, but have made little progress. They have only come to the conclusion that the giant tree treats all living things on the earth equally and has no intention of exterminating all life on the earth. Meaning, otherwise with its devouring ability, it could completely swallow up the entire earth, it just depends on whether it is willing.
Scientists also have a guess, that is, the mutated giant tree is intelligent. Some scientists in the Bear Country speculate that the giant tree should be the mother of the earth – Gaia, which is to say the Gaia in myths and legends, the earth. The origin of all life.
However, scientists from the Xia Kingdom sneered at the Mao Xiong Kingdom’s speculation. The Mao Xiong Kingdom said it was Gaia. They also said that the giant tree was a building tree in the Xia Kingdom’s mythology. Anyway, feudal superstition is not credible.
Fortunately, the giant tree did not kill all life on earth, otherwise humans would not have the opportunity to study the giant tree. Of course, although the giant tree did not kill all humans, it seemed to deliberately drive away the humans who were hiding in the underground base like rats. Come to the surface and let humans compete with the various mutant beasts and zombies on the ground. We don’t want humans to be so comfortable developing in underground bases.
Except for humans who are driven to the ground by the giant trees, all underground creatures are basically treated the same by the giant trees. All underground creatures are forced to come from the underground to the surface to compete with other creatures. Of course, for those huge numbers of mutant beasts For example, the fierce competition on the ground is no different. For example, the number of mutant rats is much greater than that of any other kind of mutant beasts. It can be said that the two countries, Xia Kingdom and Mao Xiong Kingdom, have become more fierce in recent years. They have been harassed by a large number of mutant rats. These mutant rats are not very strong individually, but if millions of mutant rats attack the city base, the two countries will have to pay a high price to completely eliminate those mutant rats.
However, the underground mutant beasts have the greatest impact on humans in other areas. Although all underground bases in other countries have been wiped out, humans are still very adaptable to survival. Many humans who escaped to the surface have struggled to build a team while staying together. They were grouped together in the form of a tribe, but most of them were either destroyed by mutant beasts or lost due to war with the zombie tribe, and all members became food for the zombies.
Of course, there are still some who survived under the protection of soldiers injected with powerful genetic agents. These tribes basically cannot see the things of modern civilization. They are no different from ancient humans. Some people cannot survive such primitive and After hard days, they all heard that Xia Kingdom and Mao Xiong Kingdom had established the last two base cities of mankind, so many people rushed to the east in groups, but few people could reach Xia Kingdom safely. Or the furry bear country.
Gu Ming watched many things with cold eyes. In the apocalypse, all life is on the same starting line. Human beings can be said to run first, but human beings end up at the end. This is nature’s reaction to human beings’ excessive consumption and exploitation for hundreds of years. The most powerful punishment of the earth’s resources, humans have nothing to complain about.
“Forget it if you don’t understand. You can go back first.”
Gu Ming didn’t have high expectations for them, so when he heard what Mr. Zhao said, he wasn’t too angry and disappointed. He asked the two of them to go back first.
The Kongtian mothership turned back into the super tank mode. Most of the time, Gu Ming didn’t dare to travel in the air in the Kongtian mothership mode. This has been the case in recent years. This is because the sky on Earth is now the chassis of those mutant bird kings. They are a huge threat to the Kongtian mothership. Even if Gu Ming has a mutant beast king like Wangcai, he has no combat ability in the air.
For safety, Gu Ming used the tank to travel most of the time. Anyway, even if he encountered a mutant beast king on the ground, he and Wangcai could escape even if they were defeated.
Antarctica was basically a forbidden zone for life before the end of the world. Although there were some algae before the end of the world, it was not like now. The entire Antarctica has become a big forest, a primeval forest like in ancient times. Gu Ming came to this continent where he had not searched for meteorites in the end. If he couldn’t find meteorites here, or if he couldn’t collect 100 million energy points, he might really have to ask for help from Xiaguo or Maoxiongguo, but in that case he would owe favors.
The total energy points in Gu Ming’s super tank system have reached 9.9 billion, and he only needs 100 million energy points to upgrade. However, this last 100 million energy points took him a month to increase a few million energy points. It feels like upgrading in the game before. The last is the most difficult time. Of course, although Xia and Mao Xiong have used a lot of meteorites, brain cores and beast cores to trade materials with his base in the past ten years, Gu Ming knows that as two of the five major countries before the end of the world, the two countries must still have stocks, such as meteorites, which have not been fully studied.
Gu Ming asked Pangu to drive the tank according to the map before the end of the world. He planned to see several Antarctic research stations established by Xia before the end of the world in Antarctica. Logically speaking, there should be no surviving humans in those research stations, but it is possible that miracles of life sometimes still happen.
…
Antarctica has a total area of more than 1,400 square kilometers, which is about half the land area of Xia Country. Now it has become a forest. Gu Ming’s chariot has excellent performance and can easily drive normally even in the forest. Of course, this is also thanks to Pangu, the artificial intelligence, which can control the chariot to go there very well.
There are Senling, and naturally there are various mutant beasts. I don’t know if it is because it is very close to the South American continent. The mutant beasts that Gu Ming sees are basically the same as the mutant beasts in South America. He didn’t get off the car to pay attention to the general mutant beasts. Unless it is a mutant beast above level 2, he will take Wangcai off the car to hunt.
Wangcai’s strength is still the fourth-level mutant beast king. I don’t know if it’s too strong. His strength has basically not improved in ten years. Even though Wangcai eats the most advanced mutant beasts every day, eats some beast cores every day, and rests in a room decorated directly with meteorites, his strength is really slow. However, his days are not boring. With his unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in seducing the mutant Tibetan mastiff Xiaomei. The two beasts gave birth to two litters of four puppies in ten years. The four puppies are now second-level mutant beasts. I don’t know if it’s because their parents have strong genes that their evolution speed is really fast.
Gu Ming thought of his seven children, that is, except for Gu Nannan, their strength has reached the first-level limit. You know, the oldest of them is only eleven years old, and the youngest is Zhang Ting’s daughter, who is only seven years old. At this age, their strength is stronger than many adults in the base. Gu Ming should think of the strength of himself and his wives, so their children are so strong. It is possible that their descendants will become stronger and stronger in the future.
Of course, many of the above are Gu Ming’s own guesses, but they should be correct to a large extent. It’s just that there are no genetic experts in the base. The two directors of the institute, Gu Ke is a generalist but not specialized, and Zhao Lao is a plant expert and doesn’t know much about genetics.
Gu Ming’s first destination is the Xia country’s Antarctic research station closest to South America – Great Wall Station. This earliest Antarctic research station built by Xia country is closest to South America. Gu Ming came from the South American continent, and the first Xia country research station he went to must be this Great Wall Station.
