"This is a habitable planet with liquid water, and it has initially evolved its own ecosystem."

"At present, it is certain that the ecosystem has evolved to the plant stage, and the traces of animals have not been discovered, so we have reservations."

"In other words, not civilized?"

The leader of the cluster asked that this is not only an individual problem, but also a question of collectors in other channels.

"It looks like this at the moment."

"Then what's the matter with the light spots we observed? It's not man-made, could it be the result of nature?"

Some collectors asked again that this question is something they are more concerned about. The facula situation is too rare. After so many star systems have been colonized, the collectors discovered such a phenomenon. Similar facula phenomena are only found on the imperial mother star. Lin has seen it before, and it's hard not to let them connect the two together.

The kinsmen who are going there to survey now say that there is no civilization, they will believe it, but they do not believe it unconditionally. They need to know what caused the planet's flare.

At this point, the collector who went to investigate has already made a clear investigation. It is precisely because the investigation is clear and 100% certain that it will report its findings to the same tribe.

"It's nature. The true face of the light spot is a large area of ​​flames burning on the surface. The plants on the planet are very lush. Among them, the proportion of oil-rich plants is very high, and the proportion of oxygen in the air is constant at more than 80%."

"The three laws of combustion, combustible matter, ignition point, and oxygen, two of which are already collected. Only a single lightning bolt or just a small spark can form the surface spots we observe in the universe."

"How about the resources on that planet? Are there values ​​reserved for them?"

The leader of the cluster asked that this question is directly related to the destiny of the planet in the near future. If it is of no value, it will be dismantled by the collectors and become part of their construction resources in the star system.

Strictly speaking, however, collectors don’t want valuable planets to be removed, because such planets are very rare. If the planet that can nurture civilization is diamond, then the planet with the ecosystem is gold, unlike other inanimate planets. There is a fundamental difference.

"Although it has only developed to the plant stage, it is much stronger than other inanimate planets, and it is too rare."

"I think that if it does not have much influence on the colonization of the population in the star system, it has the value of keeping it for observation."

"I see." The leader of the cluster silently marked the planets that had only developed the ecosystem to the plant stage as non-dismantling objects.

After finishing the report and communication, the collectors who were on the habitable planet relaxed a little, but just being so relaxed brought disasters to it.

"Finally ended the tedious report..."

"Be careful!"

"Huh?" The collector was taken aback.

Hearing the warning from the same clan to him, the collector hadn't reacted yet when he was warning, the crisis quietly came to it.

boom--!

A heat wave hit, it was the flames of the red lotus hell, they swept everything like a flood bursting a bank, and in a blink of an eye there was a sea of ​​fire for hundreds of miles.

The picture above the sea of ​​fire is distorting, and even the air is trembling in front of such a heat wave. Thick billowing smoke rises from the burned plants to the atmosphere, darkening the entire sky, and cloudy clouds covering the clear sky.

They are the top masters on this planet and the natural enemies of plants!

In such a sea of ​​fire, three organisms jumped out from bottom to top, spreading the membrane wings, and then the updraft formed by the heat wave soared high in the sky.

One of the collectors still had lingering fears.

"It's dangerous! Frightened me, almost thought I was going to die!"

"I told you earlier, don't do two things with one mind when exploring the planet. It's very insecure. It's a sad thing to die meaninglessly."

"Fortunately, we put this protective interlayer on ourselves early to prevent flames, otherwise we would really be dead."

Taking into account the sea of ​​fire on the planet’s surface, the collectors adjusted their biological structure and added an extra layer on their surface. The interior of this layer is an organic thermal insulation material similar to foam plastic, which has a high thermal insulation coefficient and is built-in. A solid helium packaging box to cool the organism.

Through the high-speed circulation of body fluids, the temperature of the organism is kept constant within a range. It can be said that swimming in the sea of ​​fire for a while is not a problem. It looks like a sea of ​​natural disasters to plants, but it is not so terrifying to the collectors. Because they have seen more terrifying, hotter magma planets that can even burn on the ground.

Of course, all of this is based on preparedness. Without preparation, it would be impossible for the collectors to withstand the high temperature of the fire, if only one hundred degrees of amino acids will undergo material denaturation.

Looking at the vast ocean of fire below, the collectors couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk, this planet is simply a barrel of explosives, it burns at a single point, and it's also thanks to these plants that can grow so tall."

From the perspective of collectors, plants should not evolve so tall ~lightnovelpub.net~ but should develop horizontally as flat as possible, because the probability of survival will be relatively high, and the vitality of plants is very tenacious. They are It is completely possible to regenerate a living body from a broken limb.

The collector, who was taken aback by what happened just now, thought for a while and proposed.

“Let’s use rhizomes for exploration next time? As long as we expand in deep enough strata, it won’t affect the ecosystem on the surface, and it’s easy to observe.”

"Exploring as an individual like this is too dangerous, we don't need to take such risks."

The other two collectors heard this and after thinking about it for a while, they all agreed to the proposal.

"agree."

The collectors flew towards their station, where there was a fire barrier built earlier, which can be said to be the only place on this planet that is not threatened by the sea of ​​fire.

After flying for a certain distance, one of the collectors suddenly watched the dumped remains of large plants below, feeling a little bit.

"I think our previous inferences are probably wrong. It's not that it was not lightning or Mars that ignited the forest, but it was caused by the kind of plant we just came into contact with. The purpose of this is to kill others. Plants to create a better living environment for their race."

"But other plants are not vegetarian. Some of them have strong heat resistance, and some have sowing ability far better than other plants. Therefore, the plants are not extinct by the flame plants, and the flame plants just complement the ecological circle. The missing part is that a large area of ​​combustion can consume a lot of oxygen and turn it into carbon dioxide that is beneficial to plants."

"Plants can actually evolve the ability to fire. I have never seen such a strange evolutionary direction. It is necessary to study it in depth."
