Of course, Alice didn't expect Evan to make any breakthrough discoveries about the white bud found in the swamp.

It can't be too difficult, after all, you're not a botanist, right?

Moreover, with current technological means, Evan could never prove Alice's guess at the time that this flower would use her mental power to capture prey.

However, he still reported an unexpected piece of content.

"From the current experiment, we have learned that this unknown plant has a very strong demand for moisture. In the microscopic state, rhizome cells that are as unsatisfied as thorns can double the rate of its absorption of water."

While explaining, Evan walked into a room. Then, from the house used as a greenhouse, he took out a plant root of two feet long.

Alice spoke, "You cut it from that flower?"

"That's right, it's a long story. Let me make a simple preparation first."

Evan prepared the experimental equipment lightly, but the content was simple, just pouring a large-capacity measuring cylinder into 100ml of tap water, and then putting it on the empty white long table.

"The roots can survive on their own even if they are separated from the plant body. It can be proved based on plant slices that when the roots of this flower absorb water, 90% of the water elements are stored in the roots."

As he said that, he had put this and the rhizome into the measuring cylinder.

No change.

Sissi frowned and walked in, her head leaned forward, staring at the measuring cylinder that was still moving.

Ashley also observed in the same position, and her head got closer and closer, and her nose was almost pressed on.

Maiya: "Ashley, be careful of nose oil."

"There is only oil on your face! Who doesn't wash your face every day?"

Xixi: "Idiot Ashley, I'm going up!"

"I'll wipe..."

Seeing the two live treasures playing weird, the others laughed. Alice looked down at the information directly, and Maiya asked Evan: "Professor, it seems that the speed at which the rhizome cells absorb water can indeed see visual effects in the short term?"

"From the volume and diameter of the current measuring cylinder, it will drop by one inch in an average of ten minutes."

Evan easily gave a very sensational data: "Yes, girls, every ten minutes, the water level drops by an inch, and can completely suck three hundred milliliters of tap water in an hour, and this is just the ability of a mere rhizome."

Alice nodded and said, "Is it the limit?"

"It's not the limit. After letting a certain rhizome absorb 300 milliliters of water, I prepared the same dose of tap water. Although the speed dropped, it still only took two hours..."

"Look, it's down!"

Xixi pointed at the measuring cylinder in extreme surprise and said, "I swear it definitely fell!"

Alice could see clearly even when she was far away. The water level that happened to be stuck on the scale just now had dropped by three or two millimeters. Calculate the time, and it seemed that it only took one minute from the time the rhizome was stuffed in.

"Really, really, Yumi, have you seen it? It's down, it's not on the scale!"

"Ashley, don't put your head on, bastard!"

“…Well, then the mass of the rhizome increases.”

The two girls were shouting, and Evan patiently explained to the other two: "Everyone knows the density of pure water. I have done many grouping experiments. No matter how much water the rhizome absorbs, it is indeed stored in its cells... Haha, Alice, what did you guess?"

"Although this rhizome is now two feet long, it must have been not that long when you cut it off, right?"

Ashley and Sissi both lifted their heads, and now it is the moment of revealing the secret.

"Yes, this observation experiment has been going on for a whole month. When I cut it off, it was only one foot long, and after absorbing so much water, it was already four feet long. The one you see now is the result of me cutting off that one."

For a moment, four strange eyes were staring at the rhizome in the measuring cylinder.

Alice murmured to herself: "Even a desert plant will have an extraordinarily exaggerated root system, but it is nothing more than drought-tolerant. It is impossible to have such an exaggerated water absorption speed, right? Besides, this is clearly the root of a flower, so how can a desert plant dare to do this?"

While speaking, the water level had dropped a little more.

Wuya asked a question: "Professor, the contact area of ​​this rhizome is very large now, and it is soaked in a pure water environment. This speed should not be particularly exaggerated, right?"

Evan shook his head and chuckled: "No exaggeration? Miss Akaman, you said it yourself, this is a pure water environment. This rhizome will absorb three hundred milliliters of water without hesitation in just one hour. What if we plant it in the soil? It will plunder up as many living environments as possible in the surrounding plants?"

"Or, you haven't raised daffodils? Add 300 ml of water in the first hour, add 300 ml of water in the next two hours, add 300 ml of water in the fourth to eighth hours, and add 300 ml of water in the first month. The length of the rhizome soared four times in a month, from one foot to four feet, when have you ever heard of such a greedy guy?"

"So judging from the current situation, it should be an ecological killer."

Alice gently pushed Ashley away and put her head in front of the measuring cylinder. At this time, the water level in the measuring cylinder had dropped by 15 inches, and the time was only about five minutes before and after, and the main body of the water absorbing body was just the roots of a mere foot of the plant.

"But when we found this flower in the swamp, it was a whole swamp, Evan."

Alice was really puzzled. God knew that her initial curiosity was just a means of preying on this flower, so why did it be linked to the water absorption ability of the rhizome: "Does this guy still have the ability to feed back? No..."

Yes, not only Alice, but the other three girls also remembered it immediately. According to the old news they heard from the North Carolina State Chief, and on-site investigation, we can see that as early as fifteen years ago, this flower should have grown in the center of a soft swamp that could sink into people!

"No, not right."

Alice muttered, "Fifteen years, it's been a long time. When I pulled out the damn flower, the length of the rhizome was not exaggerated to more than ten meters. It was impossible to suck the water from the entire swamp into seven or eight, nor did it interfere with normal plant growth. The flower is surrounded by waist-high grass. Could it be that it is really a feeding back?"

There is no doubt that although it is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from finding out its predation method, after such a period of research, Evan has made some wonderful discoveries. Plant rhizomes, which are like thorns, absorb water at an almost greedy rate. What practical value can this discovery have?

Finally, she waved her hand and concluded: "Let's make a priority. Evan, I will contact my family immediately and promise to send Caesar to Windsor Town within two weeks, but you have to handle the relevant procedures for adoption yourself, is it okay?"

"Of course there is no problem. But do you have any good names for this virus?"

Evan smiled and said, "Although I was the one who was responsible for researching it, you, the one who first discovered it from Caesar's lymph. Alice, you have a well-deserved naming right for this virus, right?"

Name the newly discovered virus.

This is a very honorable thing.

But it is also very Alexander and very inspiring!

Alice thought for a headache and finally concluded: "The current function of this virus is to improve immunity, and she named it the i virus... Yes? No? Isn't it a bit too casual? What do you think?"

i-viral (i-via milk)?

Xixi was the first to express her recession: "i-vi fuzz?i, vi fuzz? I said dear, you have read too many novels by Asimov, or you don't want to be a human being? It's okay to forget it, "i, vi fuzz" is what is it!"

Ashley was always a person who was afraid of the world's chaos, so of course he would shout loudly: "That's right, what a broken name! Do you want scientists all over the world and students from the virus department to shut up when they open their mouths and shut up when they open their mouths and shut up? This is too...hey? This is cool!"

"Ashley? Who are you helping for??"

"I will help anyone who is interesting. Oh, I'm not good, tell the truth! Oh, help me! Xixi hit me~"

A golden-retriever girl ran out of the room, but she didn't touch any experimental equipment along the way, but the chasing Xixi behind her was in a bad mood. She accidentally fell on the smooth marble floor and suddenly fell flat on the smooth marble floor!

"You have to fight outside the house, and also Xixi, please pay attention to exposing yourself."

After a glance at someone's pants, Alice curled her lips, but fortunately she blocked Evan Delov's vision: "Anyway, it's decided that the name of this virus is iV. Maiya, Professor, what do you think?"

Wuya shrugged indifferently: "You can do it."

Evan looked at the two girls playing outside with a smile. The entire glass wall in the laboratory made him convenient: "I thought you would name it Caesar virus or orangutan virus. Haven't you considered this title?"

Alice waved her hand and said, "It's too narrow and too casual. If this virus can be applied to the field of clinical medicine, it would be a big project that can bring me a billion-dollar income, whether it's Caesar or an orangutan, isn't this ambiguous?"

As she said that, she touched her chin and murmured to herself at a volume that only she could hear.

"i-vi milks. Well, the medical field has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. What should I do?"
