Chapter 40: The rescue and the plan (bottoel_ Editor: Lucas

The scientists were asked to leave the rooues, criticisms about how Yao Yuan handled the situation started to fly

The fact was that Yao Yuan had no clue how to e the 120000 community on the Hope

One of the reasons was because their escape from Earth was too sudden, so he didn’t have tiood at huement Furthermore, he was a man of action and thus wasn’t faanization within the Academy was also much more complicated than Yao Yuan had expected He wanted the scientific co to their subjects and each would be led by a co on their size and functionality, roups, so issues of leadership becaly convoluted For example, Yao Yuan had initially handpicked Alan as the committee leader of the astrophysics committee, but later the coroups, andloyalties led to many inter and intra coh, scientists froather at the conference roo for their leaders to return fro with Yao Yuan

When they were told of the current situation, the faces of everyone present darkened They no serious the situation was If they lost the Hope, the consequences would be uniinable…

Suddenly, one fe, "Everyone, there’s no use sulking Why don’t we try to drop our preconceived scientific notions and think outside of the box for once? Maybe it’ll lead somewhere"

With a deep Italian accent, she added, "I’ll be the one to start then… In my opinion, there are too many details that are unknown about these plants So instead of analyzing them one by one, why don’t we look at them as a whole? For exa a hive estions fro an i back, ht not be the whole truth Is it not possible that they weren’t intending to lure us into a trap but instead were rey and minerals had been completed and that it is time for harvest?"

The feues into deep conte them was a twenty-plus intern After the fe, his mind went into a dreaht within this state, he could ainst his will, he repeated out loud, "Yes, that is entirely true That would explain why they didn’t directly consume us e humans also have metallic substances in our bodies… Sos

"That is the biggest difference between us and the creatures on this planet The animals here are vicious but simplistic; we on the other hand, are complex We have the ability to think and to have a civilization…"

Suddenly, the intern screamed The room stared at him as he continued with a dumbstruck look in his eyes, "They’re the product of civilization! When the alien civilization created these plants, they must have infused them with some kind of limitation, just like hoe have three laws of robotics! Because they are too powerful in nature, their creatorsbeings with sentience and civility They are able to detect these qualities by attuning to other organisms’ brainwave frequencies If the frequency reaches a certain level, they would be able to tell that said creatures are civilized… That’s why they won’t harm us directly! They assume we are their creators!"

This hypothesis introduced a sliver of hope to the people within the conference rooht about it, the more they felt like it could very much be true

A heavily bearded scientist suddenly asked, "Is it possible that these plants theh the power of the mind? To put it in another way, could we use so the brain power of its wearer?"

That possibility had the scientists talking Speculations and hypotheses were thrown all over the room In some cases, the discussion was so intense that it led to serious arguments After ten minutes of such controlled chaos, the fen in everyone’s attention, then she said, "Folks, let’s not get ahead of ourselves Let us first reviee have hypothesized so far

"First, this plant species does have a hive mind, a feature that was probably put in place when it was created It is used to control the functionality of this plant in case it grows out of control Also, it acts as a syste and surveillance…

"When The Hope space-warped within the vicinity of this planet, the plant’s hivesoh the attune fellow has said, it could tell that we are a sentient civilization Then they probably sent out sonal to alert us that they are way over their harvestable period

"Perhaps because our brains weren’t wired in such a way to be receptive of these signals, ere hypnotized by the Now, since we don’t have the technology to y froineered to do Here, I have to disagree with the statement that it is because we are mentally dull that we are unable to control these plants It is my opinion that it is rather because we haven’t been able to tap into their frequency that we fail to do so Like a radio, we have to tap into their frequency to gain a channel for communication and perhaps , "That is e have figured out so far It could have connected to the young couple because the man somehow tuned into this frequency Humans have been shown to be able to do almost miraculous activities in extreme situations, so it is not without precedent"

"Then is it possible to get the man to tell the plants below the Hope to leave?" asked afor an answer though, he shook his head defeatedly

Another scientist butted in "That is absolutely impossible As it has been said, the man probably entered this state unconsciously, so what are the chances that he could ain? Even if he could replicate the experience, as you’ve seen on the video, the area of plants he could control was only one hundred meters wide; that is very small when coet a few ten thousands people to be able to do what he did, the plants that he evacuated will just return after he moves away froreeted with a dead-end There appeared to be no way out any intern who had previously spoken started talking again

He felt hi in his ears, because the words were not his but the voice’s

"Dear professors and instructors, it is my belief that the word ‘absolute’ shouldn’t exist in science…"

He had the attention of the rooaining traction as he continued,

"It is our cole planet has its own unique ecosyste to use one framework to understand them all For example, a deadly virus on Planet A could be a source of vitaanisms on Planet B…

"We talked about lasers and acid baths because ere too trapped in our own tunnel vision Who could affirs that are typically harmless to Earth’s plants will be harmless to these alien plants as well? Think about it; we have not coained contact with us humans either So when they created this species of plant, how could they have iainst Earth’s co what Earth is?
