Chapter 140 Digging the Roots

Free Island.

A very safe island.

The nearest continent is 5,000 kilometers away. Although there are a few species of birds controlled by the Tree God who can fly so far away, it is really difficult to reach the sky if you want to kill the Lanwei people they hate, and even the enemies in the sky whom they hate even more but cannot even reach.

Because they are plants, they can't fly.

Those birds, when they come into a vacuum, will die of suffocation due to hypoxia or freeze to death.

So to a certain extent, this is an asymmetric war, a war like a machine gun against a stone, one side crushing the other side.

Even the gods were unwilling to take action, for fear of excessive force, so they beat the so-called "tree god" to death, so they supported a god-selected clan, namely the Lanwei people. As the spokesperson, after arming them, they observed the performance of both sides on the battlefield, and thus obtained some desired information.

Even so, the potential shown by the about one million Lanwei people on Free Island was still shocked by the "gods".

Because the 300,000 young and middle-aged Lanwei soldiers who joined the "Freedom Legion" learned to start fighter jets and mechas in less than three months.

Of course, those twin-propelled fighter jets that are like dragonflies and those that run at a height of five meters, are designed to be simple in order to get started quickly, and the power device is simple (they are burned with gasoline and diesel), the operating system is fool-like, and they have some shortcomings and defects. If it is Yun Xinghe and others, they will definitely be able to get started within fifteen minutes.

But you should know that from a cultural perspective, these Lanwei people can be said to be "illiterate". For mechanics and engineering, there is a blank space in their minds like vacuum. But three months later, these Lanwei people not only opened very smoothly, but some of them even reached the "old driver" level. In the virtual training game, they can struggle in front of Gu Fan for two rounds, causing Yun Xinghe and the others to fall off their chins in surprise.

Three months, from 0 basics to starting mecha fighter jets, how could these Lanwei people have such strong learning ability?

Medical officer Yun Qiaoqiao answered this question.

"The minds are connected."

"They can use their mind to figure it out and learn from each other."

"According to calculations, the learning efficiency of this method is twice as high as that of Blue Star Federation's virtual teaching."

"So when learning to drive a mecha, as long as the person with the fastest learning progress is willing to share his experience. Other Lanwei people with poor learning ability will receive these experiences and their own abilities will be compensated by excellent companions."

"So to a certain extent, the Lanwei people also have certain 'collective race' attributes, and through the nerves on their tails, they share knowledge and experience, so as to make progress faster."

“That’s how it is.”

The communications officer Xiangran Mikoto, who was standing beside him, also added: "I found that Lan Wei people lack language expression ability and usually rely on various yelling communication. In fact, in the brain wave communicator, the meaning they can express is much more complicated than we imagined, and in some aspects, it is not inferior to that of us humans."

"That is to say, even if we give Lanwei people any complex technological information, as long as the smartest one among them masters it, soon, will this race evolve into a higher civilization race?"

Sugaru said with wide eyes, feeling that the potential of Lanwei people was a bit amazing and terrifying.

Moreover, there is a more important point. Lanwei people have strong reproductive ability and are multi-family organisms. After adult women become pregnant, each fetus can give birth to 3 to 5 young children, with a pregnancy period of six months and a 20-year reproduction period.

To put it in one sentence, this race has intelligence and can give birth to a sow.

Of course, this also proves the cruelty of competition among different species on this planet. In front of various giant birds and beasts, there is no more than 10 million people, which shows that they are not considered powerful races at all.

Moreover, behind the tails of those giant birds and beasts, they also have a tail with nerve whiskers, which shows that the level of wisdom of these beasts is actually not low.

But no matter whether it is the Blue Wild Man, the Giant Bird or the Giant Beast, no matter how powerful it is, it is nothing, and you have to bow your head obediently.

The old chief of the Zutai tribe, who is also the elder of the tree sacrifice, explained to the gods why all races surrender to the tree gods.

"The Tree God is our mother of wisdom and the root cause of all races to survive and reproduce."

"At the beginning, all races were unwise, they only knew how to fight wildly and fill their stomachs. Everything they did was just to survive."

"The Tree God has given us the initial wisdom, and through the wisdom vine, the Tree God has taught us some basic knowledge."

"And it gives us the ability to communicate with each other's minds."

"If we leave the Tree God, this ability will also leave us. From then on, we can only communicate by gestures and roars. We cannot understand the other party's meaning. No matter how powerful the tribe is, it will soon be divided. In history, there are many examples of declining due to the inability to communicate thoughts. It is said that this is called the 'Punishment of the Tree God'."

The old chief fell into deep thought and said, "Actually, I understand in my heart that it is not those powerful tribes who are not pious enough to the tree gods, but that being powerful is a mistake. If you are strong, you will be punished... In fact, many races know this very well."

The old chief's words explained why the Lanwei people have learned to master the efficiency of driving mecha fighters recently, which has been much lower than before. Without the "supply" of the Tree God, Lanwei people have become increasingly difficult to communicate with each other's thoughts, and the effect is getting worse and worse. After three months, they can't connect.

"Floating stones are elements of floating stones that play a bridge-like role at the end of the nerve whiskers. Floating stones are a normal temperature superconductor that isolates gravity. They have huge functions, but they are very easy to evaporate. The leaves of the sacrificial tree or tree god can absorb the elements of floating stones in the air or soil, and then supplement them to the Blue Wei people or other creatures. If the source of the floating stone elements is lost, the Blue Wei people's ability to communicate with each other will be lost."

"This time is almost three months."

The words of the scientific official Lan Xiulong made everyone feel a little relieved. Fortunately, this weakness exists. Otherwise, if Lan Wei people grew too fast and exceeded their control. After defeating the Tree God, they still want to fight with the Heavenly God. It would be better to directly grasp the Tree God's weakness and control the planet.

In short, you must grasp the balance and never completely kill a party. You must squeeze out the value of this planet to the greatest extent!

...

Shortly after the establishment of the Free Legion, led by the leader Zutai, a 50,000 elite Lanwei people team drove 5,000 "dragonfly" transport frames and carried 40,000 "furious" mechas. With the information and logistical support provided by the gods, they crossed the sea and launched a military operation.

The code name of the action is "Duill the roots".

To be precise, it is to dig a "sacrificial tree" to Free Island to see if it can use this tree to restore the ability of Lanwei people to "interconnect with ideas".

Lan Wei people who have lost their ability to communicate with each other in their daily lives are like losing their hands. Various inconveniences make them very uncomfortable. Some senior officials can communicate normally through the "brain wave alternator" provided by the gods. However, this kind of thing cannot be cheap enough to be distributed to each person. Among the 50,000 people who went to the battle this time, only those at the level of the team leader above are equipped with this helmet, with a total of about 5,000 heads.

The "Tree of Sacrifice" is the most loyal slave of the tree god. It is distributed throughout the continent, with a number of more than one million, but the species are not the same. Most of them are life trees, but they may also be fluff trees, crystal trees, and colored light trees. These trees are potential "wisdom" tree species, the carriers of knowledge, the nodes of consciousness transmission, and the disseminators of wisdom.

Most of the "Sacrificial Trees" do not have self-awareness and belong to the clone of the "Tree God", but some of the older sacrificial trees have evolved into self-awareness and then face two choices: surrender to the Tree God, or be destroyed by the monster legion?

Naturally, the wise will definitely choose to surrender. If the unwise ones are probably going to be cleaned by the monsters.

In addition, the sacrificial tree that is slightly unintentional, or that makes the tree god feel threatened, has also been destroyed - even if it does nothing.

Therefore, the goal of the "Dou Roots" operation is a super-large sacrificial tree with a tree age of more than 100,000 years. According to Lan Weiren, a tribe living near this tree, this sacrificial tree seems to have self-awareness. If it is moved to Free Island, not only will the Lan Weiren's mind-sharing ability be restored, but as the sacrificial tree that knows the best of the tree god, if it can convince it to join the rebellious camp here, the tree god will definitely be finished soon.

Even if this sacrificial tree has no self-awareness, as the eastern coastal land, an important node for the spread of tree god consciousness, once the tree is pulled out, there will be at least 100,000 square kilometers of land and will no longer be controlled by the tree god. This land will become the first base for the Lanwei people to return to the mainland and conquer the mainland!

"Run!"

"Pay attention to air defense and knock out the big birds in the sky first!"

"Pay attention to cooperation and cover. There are too many monsters, and every defense surface cannot relax its vigilance."

"I can't hold on anymore, there are more and more monsters, and I can't kill them no matter how hard I kill them!"

"Hold on for another two hours, the tree has been dug to two-thirds and will be lifted soon."

"The 8th Regiment was wiped out, the 9th Regiment was exhausted, and he was fighting with the monsters! The monsters faced by the 10th Regiment have added another wave of them, so please support!"

"ah!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"I can't stop it anymore! The fighter plane has crashed 70%, and there are more and more monsters!"

"God, please help us! My legion can't hold on!" Faced with the scene of an emergency on the whole line and was about to be defeated, the leader Zu Tai could only put his begging eyes on the god above his head.

"What the hell is this battle like? After fighting it, I obviously have advanced weapons, but I don't have any cooperation. I went to learn from the dog's belly for three months!"

Sugaru, who had originally expected the Lanwei people to fight a beautiful battle, wanted to take a hammer and knock the idiots on the heads of those idiots a few times.

"We have too high expectations for them. Good training does not mean that the battlefield performance is good, and the psychological quality and coordination are not up to standard. In addition, the effectiveness of weapons and the crazy monsters are overestimated... This operation should be considered a failure."

"Gu Fan, go down to support them, cover them, and dig out the sacrificial tree!" Yun Xinghe issued a support order.

"yes!"
