    "There are a total of 5 paintings here, and four of them are incomplete. The first one is a huge tree, with many small trees scattered around. Take a look." After that, Huang Hua put the picture into the projection  , so that everyone can see clearly, "According to Professor Wenger, this tree is the vitality mother tree. We have seen photos of the vitality mother tree with our own eyes, so we don't know." Director Zhao saw it and said in surprise: "  This tree really looks like a vitality mother tree, and other trees are like vitality trees.¡± Others also agreed with Director Zhao¡¯s point of view.  Huang Hua continued: "Look at the text below this picture. We can only decipher some of the words. There are words like 'world', 'ball', 'vitality', etc., but there are not enough deciphered words. Assume that the tree on the mural is  If it is the vitality mother tree in Banna, and combined with the vitality mother tree's own words, "I am the world tree," it can be determined that the vitality mother tree and the name of the tree in the mural are called world trees." This reasoning was also very popular among everyone present.  Agree.  "What is the World Tree? Let's take a look at another mural." After that, he put another mural into the head projection. In this mural, the World Tree towers over the planet and is extremely huge.  "Assuming that the ball in this painting is a planet, you can see that this tree is very huge, with a height reaching one-fifth of the diameter of the planet. I think it is unlikely that the 'person' who painted the painting deliberately exaggerated.  It is painted like this, but it is indeed like this. However, we have not been able to decipher its words until now. We only know the words 'World Tree' and 'vitality'." At this time, Chief No. 1 spoke: "Zhao.  Director, you are most familiar with the vitality mother tree. Do you think the vitality mother tree in Banna can grow as tall as this?" Director Zhao thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and replied: "Looking back to the leader, the vitality mother tree is  It was only discovered five years ago, but it had a strange behavior at that time, that is, it grew from more than 40 meters to 110 meters in just a few days. If it grows in this way, it is possible to grow to 110 meters.  So tall." "Hiss" All the people who didn't know could not help but take a breath.  "It has grown from more than 40 meters to 110 meters in just a few days? Is this still a tree? This is simply subverting tradition!!" "Can you find the reason?" Director Zhao replied: "Not yet.  We found the reason, but we guess it is related to the evolution of the vitality trees. We now have 28 vitality trees in Yunbian Province. If we divide these vitality trees according to their age, they can be divided into two generations.  The vitality tree is the first generation, 11 years old, while the others are the second generation, 5 years old. It is speculated that the time when the second generation vitality tree evolves from an ordinary tree to a real vitality tree is the same as the time when the parent vitality tree grows taller.  Consistent.¡± Director Zhao then answered some questions about the vitality mother tree, giving everyone a deeper understanding of the vitality mother tree.  But I was a little more vigilant about the vitality tree. Such a powerful thing, if it is not mastered well, it may cause big trouble Then the protagonist turned to Professor Huang Hua, and he explained the third mural, one with a world  Tree with image of crystal monster.  Because of the attack by the crystal monster, everyone can understand what the mural means.  In the text, only words such as 'monster', 'vitality' and 'absorb' can be deciphered.  "It can be speculated that it means that this monster can absorb something from the vitality mother tree. We still don't know what this thing is, but we can ask the vitality mother tree." "The fourth mural was  It was destroyed and is now being restored. The focus we are talking about now is the fifth mural, which has a very terrifying meaning." As he said that, Professor Huang Hua put the picture into the projection.  "Everyone can see in this picture that the World Tree has fallen, volcanoes have erupted, earthquakes, tsunamis, animals are running and screaming, an apocalyptic scene" As for the words below the mural, we can only decipher '100 years'  , '300 years', 'extinction' and other words.  " "" Everyone looked at each other, with an inexplicable sense of crisis in their hearts. "Then what does the round thing in the center of the earth in the picture mean?"  "At this time, the base commander pointed to the green ball in the center of the planet in the picture and asked. Professor Huang Hua quickly replied: "We don't know this either. Now we need more time to decipher more words.  However, it is painted here so that you can't see what it is, but it shows its importance even more.  It's a pity that there are no aliens in the alien spacecraft we found. If there were, I believe the progress of text deciphering will be accelerated. I don't know what the United States is doing now.  ¡± At this time, Chief No. 1"Professor Wenger, has the actual time of these murals been tested?" "Looking back, the time of the murals has been tested using different dating instruments. The time is the Triassic period 195 million years ago.  The end of the world is the time of the fourth mass extinction. "When I hear the term 'the fourth mass extinction', many people suddenly think of the fifth mural and the word 'extinction' in the text.  mean.  At this time, Chief No. 3 said: "Explain to us in detail what the 'Fourth Mass Extinction' means." This question was naturally answered by Professor Wenger, a senior expert: "The Triassic 195 million years ago  At the end of the epoch, it is estimated that 76 species, mainly marine organisms, disappeared in this extinction. This is a speculation in the scientific community. As for why this extinction occurred, there is no conclusion" "Inexplicable reason?"  By then, others were even more worried.  Afterwards, we continued to discuss other issues, and then decided to immediately send personnel to excavate the Kunlun Mountain cave where the murals are preserved, in order to obtain relevant information inside as soon as possible.  Finally, a tone was set again: in terms of awareness of the Mother Tree of Vitality - World Tree, education must be strengthened. In addition, the safety of the Mother Tree of Vitality must be protected, especially the crystal monster, which must not be allowed to harm the Mother Tree of Vitality.  Although they were wary of the Mother Tree-World, they also felt pressured by the meaning expressed by the fifth mural. At least until they understood what it meant, what they wanted most was to maintain the status quo.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ One month later, Yuanqi Research Base.  Assistant Sun came to Director Zhao's office and reported: "Director Zhao, there are 50 newly recruited staff members, and a meeting will be held at 2 p.m. Do you have time to meet them?  " "Well, let's go and meet!" Director Zhao agreed to the arrangement after thinking that there was nothing urgent. "By the way, bring a group of young people over. Let's get acquainted with each other before we work together.  "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!" Assistant Sun understood the hidden meaning of Director Zhao's words.  At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Director Zhao came to the conference room.  Standing on the podium, I took a cursory look at the people sitting at the seats of the new employees. They were all relatively young, and most of them were women.  Looking at the young researchers at the institute sitting in the audience, I found that they were all staring at these new female colleagues with green eyes.  "Hehe!!" Director Zhao smiled meaningfully when he saw this situation.  Why are the people recruited relatively young?  Because young people are more active in thinking and dare to venture and fight.  As long as they are under the control of senior professors, they can conduct research more efficiently. ? And why are there mostly women?  It is said that at the beginning, the proportion of men in the institute was large, and there were also many single men. Therefore, in order to create an integrated atmosphere in the institute in the future, among the subsequent batches of researchers recruited, women were tended to be recruited, and they tended to be young women.  Although I have been thinking about changing the situation of yang and yin for the past four years, the recruitment of women is much more difficult than that of men.  Moreover, many young single women are often snatched away by those soldiers, making the competition among single men in the institute quite fierce.  "I hope this batch can give those male homosexuals in the research institute a break! Well, the term male homosexual is quite suitable for this situation. I need to learn more in the future." Director Zhao has learned a few words recently.  A new term that is quickly being used now.  Get rid of this kind of thoughts and quickly turn your thoughts to the meeting.  "You all introduce yourselves and let us get to know each other. Well, let's go in order of seating" "There shouldn't be any spies sneaking in, right? Probably not." Director Zhao thought in his mind.  "My name is Li Yan. I am 26 years old. I graduated from the Department of Biology of Sichuan University and am a graduate student. I am very happy to come to the Yuanqi Research Institute and work with everyone" "My name is Wang Li. I am 29 years old and graduated from Jiangnan University.  Department of Botany, PhD student. Thank you to the country for giving us this opportunity.¡± This group of new employees continued to introduce themselves, and many beautiful women attracted the green eyes of the researchers in the audience below.  Because of the importance of the Yuanqi Research Institute, which involves many major secrets, the recruitment of staff is under the auspices of the state.  All those who are recruited are those who have been strictly vetted by the state, starting from the interpersonal relationships of the previous three generations vertically, and horizontally from life trajectories and behavioral habits.  Anyone who has made inappropriate remarks or has wrong thoughts outside will be passed. Anyone who has studied abroad will be passed.  The country has set up a lot ofAs long as one of the requirements is not met, it will be passed directly.  The Yuanqi Research Institute is too important, so it is not an exaggeration at all for the country to do this.  (To be continued.
