Chapter 1526 Leisurely Life
Lu Ping'an's new life did not start happily. The world was unfriendly from the beginning.
"If an ordinary person stays here for too long, he will probably get cooked." The outdoor temperature alone prevents the natural reproduction of most animals on Earth, and also leads to high prices for local "Earth meat and vegetables."
In fact, even in the lowest areas, mortals need various facilities, props and even divine grace to ensure their livability.
If they left the towns built at the bottom of the world, they would die in vain, like ants in an ant nest caught in a forest fire.
The "technology" and "local specialties" that Lu Ping'an is most concerned about are also quite subtle in terms of results.
"Are most industries and products at the top level?" Even the research institutes are at an even higher level.
Lu Ping'an didn't rush to get up and go. He always felt that things like "research" must be started from the basics.
Compared with the chaotic world above, he believes that the "basic" research should be done first. The ordinary soldiers, logistics, and researchers in his courtyard also need time to adapt to the environment. Various materials need to be prepared for research reports. Basic information in many aspects such as sociology, geography, and element overview needs to be accumulated.
Lu Ping'an felt that if he really wanted to analyze something, basic samples on the edge would probably make it easier to see the trend.
The most he got to was about the tenth floor.
The layer here does not refer to floors, but more like a concept of "height". You can be on the tenth floor of a mountain one moment, climb to the eleventh floor of a plateau the next moment, and then accidentally slip into the lava lake on the ninth floor.
What makes Lu Ping'an even more helpless is the serious water shortage in this world. This is a nightmare condition for gardeners who mainly grow magic plants.
Fortunately, before Lu Ping'an came, there were already senior gardeners working here.
They took out a special magical plant that could live here and produce water-rich fruits, which could alleviate the situation to a certain extent. If a large lake really appeared, it would evaporate instantly, and the independent water source that was free from the constraints would seem to not exist at all.
This in itself is actually quite advanced, meaning that the inventor has a special extraordinary module of "heat energy and energy conversion into life energy".
Of course, the water produced in this way is of very poor quality and even has a sandy smell.
"It seems like I can sell water. Never mind, I don't even have enough for myself."
Lu Ping'an's courtyard has a water source, but it is also produced periodically. If you want to increase it, you can exchange it for life points, but it is obviously not cost-effective.
This reality means that he cannot use the magic plant mass production strategy. Many magic plants thrown away will definitely not be able to be recovered, and it is impossible to plant them on a large scale outside.
"Look at the bright side, the magic plants and related materials can be sold at a good price here."
He set up several test plots and bought ridiculously expensive "water melon tree species" to use as a water source to conduct localized experiments on magic plants at the bottom layer (where the temperature is the lowest).
See which species can adapt to the local environment and what surprises they can bring to you after adapting.
On the other hand, what really attracted Lu Ping'an to stay were the local "residents".
".This birth method is quite interesting."
Lu Ping'an was lying on the plain, resting but also "working". Watching the busy collectors working in front of him and waiting for their results was also his job.
The courtyard is already filled with a large amount of materials, and the expert group is busy, hoping to come up with theoretical results to make the courtyard production system operate as soon as possible.
What attracted Lu Ping'an's attention, and even made him not plan to leave for a short time, was the mystery of the birth of life before him.
"Without any reproduction, without any parents, it was just born like that?!"
Right in front of Lu Ping'an, the shattered red "elements" in the area gathered together and formed a whirlwind of elements.
When the tornado died down, a fat and chubby "elemental man" appeared. It had no obvious limb structure, but seemed to be the most basic unit of life.
At this time, some of its predecessors came over and brought it to the town. After a period of study, it gained a certain degree of wisdom and knowledge, and began to mimic in order to survive.
So what happens if there is no one to guide?
“It’s even more interesting.”
Lu Ping'an went up to the fifth or sixth floor, where basic "elemental people" were still being born, but they were much larger than their counterparts on the lower floors. Soon after they were born, they had to face the hunting of elemental wolves and elemental dragons.
Those who run slowly will naturally die, and those who evolve slowly will be about the same. If you can evolve into an elemental wolf within a few dozen hours, then even if you are not accepted by the wolf pack, you can survive independently for a period of time and try to complete new evolution.
Lu Ping'an could easily crush those lowest-level elementals into pieces, but this plasticity made him very mysterious.
He captured many low-level elemental dragons, elemental wolves and those spheres, and dissected them in all aspects. However, the answer given by the logistics team was that they were completely different at the genetic level.
In other words, they are not simply "accumulated", but there is a transformation in their life form.
"Is it possible for demonic plants to exist in such an environment?"
Plants and animals are different. Excluding intelligent creatures, ordinary animals are adapters and predators of the environment, while plants are symbionts and transformers of the environment.
He searched a little higher but didn't find it. Instead, he got a little reward at the bottom.
That is "grass". Or rather, elemental grass roots.
In fact, it is everywhere on the earth. It is an aggregation of local elements, and most elemental life is born on these grass roots.
"Uh, ginseng fruit?"
Lu Ping'an dug it out, but what he got were crystal-like roots. It seemed to instinctively gather the surrounding elements to form a hotbed of new elemental life.
Is this natural? Or is it a modification by a higher-level organism?
Road safety needs more.
By comparison, he found similar products at higher levels, but perhaps because the basic particles were more concentrated, they showed obvious crystallization, and the newborns they produced seemed to have a higher starting point.
"It seems that this world still has an ecological cycle of nature, plants (producers), and animals (consumers). Well, as the converters of energy and resources, plants are not necessarily the only ones. Animals themselves seem to be able to evolve without the need for gene exchange for reproduction."
If it was a low-level gardener, he would probably not be able to connect those crystals and plants together, because they actually have no life reactions.
But an existence like Lu Ping'an has actually transcended some limitations of life and death.
He can really say "I'm thinking". If he thinks you are a plant, then probably you really are one.
"Investing in life. Sure enough, it works!"
When he invested in it and successfully cultivated a large crystal vein in the manor, he also began to analyze the underlying logical architecture of this world.
At this time, the local master's messenger finally found him, and found this strange reinforcement who was not doing his job and was digging pits and catching pets everywhere.
