如果说攀附异域种是建筑学上的革新里程碑，那么闪电异域种将重新定义电力。想象一下抛弃沉重的铜制电缆，转向植物的怀抱：它如叶片般纤细，如蛛丝般坚韧，承载着高压电跨越漫长距离，还能将电荷储存在果实中，随时可以采摘运输。未来的电力网络将不再依赖于铺设建造——只要种下它们，根系就会四通八达。
罗伯特·默里
英文原文
If scando advena will revolutionise construction, fulmen advena will redefine electricity. Imagine it - no more heavy copper cables, but a plant, delicate as a leaf, strong as spider silk, carrying high current across huge distances, and storing charges in fruit which can be picked and transported independently. The power networks of the future won't be built - they'll be grown.
