   Chapter 2601 Daisy's World (middle)

   "Muggles are so funny to imagine a world like that, right," the editor at Boom Press told Scamander.

   "Yes, of course," Newt Scamander said.

   "So you think they're right?" the editor asked Scamander.

  Newt looked at him in confusion and surprise.

   "Hi, Pomona!" Tina greeted Pomona before she saw Cedric "We meet again, young man."

   "Good evening, ma'am," Cedric said politely.

   "It seems that you have company, I'll excuse you." The editor said to the two.

   After he was gone, Scamander breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Let's go." He said nervously, like a nervous "little beast".

   "We've just arrived." Tina urged him, "Don't forget I told you before, learn to adapt..."

"Compliment each other like everyone else, right? Compliment what? Tina, this gentleman, your dragon-skin boots are beautiful, and this lady, your Peruvian salamander leather clutch is exquisite." Newt was disturbed. Gotta say.

   "Take Scamander somewhere to rest, Cedric," Pomona said.

   "Okay, Dean." Cedric said, helping Newt out of the main event site.

   "It's not that he can't handle the big scene." Tina reluctantly said to Pomona, "As long as he is on a mission."

   "I understand, let's change places." Pomona helped Tina to a corner, where you could see the place to get off, and Hagrid was standing there.

"The tie you mentioned last time was worn by Theseus when he was in Berlin, when the German Minister of Magic announced that Grindelwald could run for the presidency of the International Confederation of Wizards." Tina said after a while, "Newt behaved very well at that time. good."

   "What's he going to do?" asked Pomona.

   "Send a message on behalf of others." Tina said, "Doing the right thing is not easy (dowhatisright, notwhatiseasy)."

   "Let me guess, who is that person?" Pomona deliberately pondered, "Albus Dumbledore."

   "Sounds like his style, doesn't it?" Tina smiled softly.

   "That's right." Pomona casually echoed.

  A waiter walked by, and Tina took a glass of wine from his tray, but instead of drinking it, she stared at it in a daze.

   "What's the matter?" Pomona asked.

   "Someone poisoned the wine," Tina said.

   "What!" Pomona exclaimed.

   "No, not tonight, that night!" Tina quickly corrected "Someone wants to assassinate Santos."

   "You mean, that Santos who replaced Grindelwald and became the magic president?" Pomona asked.

   "That's right, it's her. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Tina said, "It's just that when you mention that tie, we can't help but bask in the memories."

   "I'm sorry..." Pomona said sadly.

   "I see, you're just delivering messages for Albus, too," Tina said. "Like Newt's night."

   Then Tina took a sip of wine and seemed to fall into memory again.

   "Is it because of Santos that Newt mentioned Blackvine Water to Neville that day?" Pomona asked.

   "No, Aurors will torture with black vine water, not because of Santos." Tina said.

   "I mean, Newt knows Blackvine Water is because of Santos," Pomona said.

   "I don't know, he went to many countries before I met him," Tina said.

   "And when you're together?" Pomona asked.

   "We traveled the world together for a while, and then I got pregnant and came back to England," says Tina. "And he started working at the Ministry of Magic."

  Pomona took a sip of wine.

   "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Tina asked.

   "Just curious," Pomona said, and continued on another topic.

  ——————————————————-

  The Gaia hypothesis was proposed by Lovelock in the 1960s, but before that it had a name called Self-balancing Earth Control Theory. Fortunately, there lived next door to him the Nobel Prize winner William Gelding. After he understood Lovelock's theory, he suggested Lovelock to name his theory after the earth goddess Gaia.

   In 1983, Lovelock used a computer to simulate a twin brother of the earth, but it was not called Earth 2, or the name of other Greek gods, but called "Daisy World".

The "daisy world" is barren, and there are countless seeds waiting to germinate, but the person who sows the seeds is unfortunately colorblind. These seeds can only grow daisies of two colors, one black and one white, and black daisies absorb Heat, white daisies reflect heat.

At the beginning, the sunlight was still very weak, the temperature on the surface of the planet was very low, and no grass grew. As the light gradually increased, the black daisies received the sunlight keenly, and sprouted out first, becoming the first pioneers of the new world. The cold world of daisies grew, gradually flourished, and spread from the poles to lower latitudes. At the same time, the heat they absorbed warmed the earth and caused the planet's temperature to rise slowly.

This warming was sensed by the white daisy seeds in the ground, and began to expand on the warm equator, and soon became comparable to the black daisies. Satisfaction reaches a state of equilibrium.

But the jealous sun was very uncomfortable seeing this harmonious and prosperous scene, so he increased the radiation intensity to further heat up the world of daisies. Because of their strong ability to reflect sunlight, white daisies can maintain themselves in a hot environment. The temperature was cool, and the black daisies gradually decayed because they could not bear the high temperature. The white flowers overtook the black daisies. The black daisies could only survive at the extremes, and the white daisies almost occupied the entire planet.

   However, when the white daisies thought they had won a big victory, because the white daisies densely covered the earth and reflected the light, the surface could not receive enough heat, and the temperature began to drop until the black daisies could grow again.

   This makes the world of daisies enter a new cycle, the black daisies warm the earth, and the white daisies retreat to the equator. In this way, the temperature of the planet fluctuated and went back and forth, but it was always in a range suitable for the growth of daisies.

Unbeknownst to the   Black and White Daisies, a fully automatic temperature-controlled planet was created in their competitive relationship.

  This simple world has aroused doubts from the outside world, because it is too single, so the rabbits were first put into the world of daisies, and they devoured it when they came.

   did initially lead to a decline in the number of daisies, but just like the rat utopia, the growth rate of the rabbit gradually slowed down, and the number of daisies gradually recovered, and finally the two formed a state of dynamic equilibrium.

At this time the foxes appeared, they ate some rabbits, which made the daisies relieved, but then Nursing also had to plan the family due to the shortage of food, which provided the rabbits with the opportunity to reproduce again, and it didn't take long for the three races to coexist in harmony again. .

So Lovelock got some plagues, meteorites, etc., and the result was still the same. Daisy's world returned to a certain balance after some tossing. That is to say, no matter how people add fuel to daisy's world, it shows Fundamental trends remain consistent with the original model, and as more and more species are introduced, the better and stronger the planet's ability to self-regulate.

   Like a living being, if injured, it will bleed, but it will also form scar tissue and eventually return to its original state, complexity will only elevate it to a new equilibrium, but it will not make it lose its self-regulating power.

   Unless, the temperature is out of balance.

  The sun was too active for the white daisies to bear, and the daisies withered, revealing the land they once cared for, the planet lost its protective layer, and there was nothing to do to let the sun shine, and the temperature eventually rose to a level that no life could bear.

   The closest Venus to the sun used to have rivers and even an ocean, but as the sun gradually expanded, Venus got too close to the sun and everything was evaporated. It is also not too far away from the sun. Take Mars, which is adjacent to the earth, as an example. Its surface temperature spans a wide range, and it also exceeds the temperature range that "Daisy" can adjust.

   Of course, the climatic conditions of Mars are very complex, but this also indirectly shows that there is a limit to the adjustment ability of "Gaia". Beyond this range, biodiversity cannot maintain a dynamic balance.

   Fire brings warmth and light, but also destruction and pain. Tinder bush seeds can be used to hatch dragons and to make potions, but make sure the fire is out when taking the seeds.

  If it's just a fire, the "Rapid Surge" used by the interns is enough, as long as it is strong enough, the dragon fire can also be extinguished.

   And as long as the tinder bush is alive, the fire can be ignited again after it is put out, but if the fire starts, it will not work well.

   If the champions of the maze see the whole maze burning, they will not easily enter the "fire field". The risk factor of this kind of maze is too high, and it is beyond the scope of a "game" worthy of serious play.

That is to say, after completing the "pulsation" of the tinder bushes and the goblet of fire at the same frequency, Pomona has to create a "enchantment" strong enough to extinguish the fire of the tinder bushes without killing them. The "body" that composes the Goblet of Fire will be automatically deformed according to the drawing.

  The Goblet of Fire has the ability to choose a "champion", just need the players to throw their names into the fire.

This will form a magical contract, as long as you are selected by the goblet of fire, you must join the game whether you like it or not, even if Pomona does not put out the fire of the tinder bush, whether it is a fireproof potion or a fireproof potion Regardless of the protective gear, there is also the problem of oxygen. The burning of flames also consumes oxygen. That situation is different from the bottom of the Black Lake, and the players can only find a way to clear the level.

   But since she said she wanted to lower the difficulty, she would find a way to lower the difficulty. The trouble was for herself.

   But if she throws the designed map into the Goblet of Fire, can the Goblet of Fire "learn" and deform her "body" according to the blueprint?

  Life has many forms, some are very simple, like single-celled organisms, they cannot process complex information, but what level of "intelligence" can the Goblet of Fire achieve?

  How can human beings believe that its choice is the right one if it does not reach a certain level?

   After returning to the greenhouse, Pomona took out a bottle of potion from the drawer that was used a long time ago, which was used when he was planting the beating willow.

   She discovered a plant with two properties during the day and night. She called it lightasphodel during the day and dark Artopa at night. She extracted two essential oils respectively.

   During the day, it photosynthesizes like a plant, and performs respiration at night, but it is more like an animal like ordinary plant respiration.

  It is not like a regeneration potion, Toots said in an interview, his potion is like giving plants a breath of life (lifeofbreath), rather than forcing (blackmail) plants to germinate.

  A plant is not like a bird with a broken shell. It needs to wait patiently for it to break its shell. During the breaking of the shell, it will be changed to lung breathing, and the lungs will slowly unfold like the wings of a butterfly that has just broken its cocoon.

  Artopa is the one who is responsible for cutting the thread of life among the three goddesses of destiny. With a "click", you can't help but pretend to be weak to win the sympathy of others. "Get up" if you don't die, that's why the beating willow has such a big temper.

   Trans-species polymorphism can turn an animal's legs into roots, so it can't move, how can she make plants that don't have motor functions move like animals?

   "You're really in trouble, Albus." She put the tube of potion in the drawer and put the freshly cracked tinder bush into a potted plant.

   Their "fire" is big enough that they don't need to "add fuel to the fire", otherwise they will be as crazy as the trees in the killer forest, instead of the intelligent and conscious "tree shepherd".
