4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

The torrential rain did not last very long. When the clouds cleared and the light fell again, Leviathan once again set foot on the land of the glittering woodland.

But here ... can it be called woodland ...?

There were black marks everywhere, and thick trunks turned into black fragments and dust, spreading on the ground.

There are still many twisted trees that did not fall, but they also turned into a scorched black color when the flames burned, and the whole jungle exuded a strong smell.

This kind of scene is caused by the extinction of species.

Is the species extinct ... Lynn is only now considering this issue.

Yes ... the beautiful environment and the environment suitable for life are also composed of countless creatures. The creatures protect the land from ultraviolet rays, and the creatures enrich the world. Every species, every predator and prey is Buckled together, they form a special relationship with each other, which allows nutrients and energy to rotate between them.

Lin had noticed this relationship while observing various creatures, but at that time Lin did not study in depth ...

If one of the species disappears, an unpredictable situation will occur.

Extinction ... Lin only did the same thing in the single-cell era, but there were too many cells at that time. Even if one kind of extinction, the other kind will soon fill the position of the exterminator, but in the multi-cell era, It doesn't seem that creatures will fill the position of the extinct so soon ...

After all, every multicellular organism has evolved through countless disasters. Once it disappears, it will disappear forever. With its countless years of evolutionary information, it disappears without a trace.

So this is the true meaning of compassion ...

Lynn doesn't know how Chibucha worms manage fungi, but it seems that they have a way to prevent the fungus from spreading into the jungle. Maybe Chibucha worms will have other effects on the jungle, but it is not known at this time.

It seems a little regretful ...

If a similar situation occurs next time, Lynn will not make a simple decision, but will consider it in more detail, but Lin will not easily let go of the creatures that threaten her.

Now that things have passed, Lin will not think too much. After summing up and thinking, Lin knows what to do next time.

Now, continue to study here to see what is left of the flame.

The flame did not extend into the jungle of the Darkness, and Lynn found that the trees that were not destroyed could produce a special liquid that seemed to prevent the flame from burning them.

But the fungus destroys this ingredient and makes the tree dry ...

Lin is now mainly studying the burning woodland that has been burned out, with the smell of smoke. All the things burned by the flame will give off this smell. The high temperature of the flame will destroy the cell structure in their body and emit a A strong smoke.

In fact, Lin's olfactory system defines odors by herself. Lynn let them evolve and grow like ordinary cells. Regarding olfaction, cells also evolved quite quickly.

The strange thing is that the smell of these smokes is not smelly, but 'scented'.

'Scent' is the opposite of 'smelly', it is a signal of food, that is to say ...

Lynn asked Leviathan to release several collectors and let them eat some of the ashes around.

These ashes should be left after the plants burned, and most of them are digestible, and they digest very quickly.

This is the case. After being burned by the flame, what was originally food will become easier to digest. That is to say, the flame is not completely devastating.

Lin noticed that many small creatures that had escaped from the fire also came back here. They rummaged in the ashes. Lin also saw a huge cockroach digging a pile of ashes.

It was the horned cockroach, more than 4 meters long, and it was the biggest cockroach Lin had seen, but it was not fierce. When Leviathan walked towards it, it ran away.

Leviathan dug up the ashes that the cockroaches were digging. Lin found that there were a lot of burnt black reptiles that seemed to be their nests.

Lin asked the devourer to eat some burnt black reptile meat, and found that the meat was as digestible as the ashes mixed with plant residues.

But the nutrients contained in it are much less than when they were not scorched. Like the meat of this reptile, Lynn calculated that it would take about ten times the amount to make up for the nutrients obtained by eating directly.

Other chars may be different, but they are basically inferior to the nutrients that come from eating directly.

However, the burnt meat also has an advantage, and there are few other fungi on it.

Single cells are very strange creatures, no matter how they are killed, they will come out constantly, so when ordinary creatures eat, they need to prepare a considerable number of immune cells, and digest food is much slower. If they encounter immune cells If you can't beat the fungus or virus, you can only wait for death.

But the burned food has almost no single-celled organisms, nor viruses and too many impurities, so it is much easier to digest, so so many creatures like to dig and burn charred things here?

In this way, after the food is roasted, will it become safer?

But it didn't make much sense to Lin. Lin completely ignored the threat of single cells and viruses, so Lin would never choose to roast food before eating.

Regarding the study of fire, Lin had already done it before the rain stopped. Lin found that the cause of the fire was quite simple. It needed high temperature and combined with combustible objects.

Lightning is the cause of high temperature. As long as something, such as dry and cracked wood, flames will appear. In addition, it seems that oxygen is also needed. The burning of the flame will reduce the surrounding oxygen.

This phenomenon is quite fun, but because of the temperature of the flame, it is difficult for Lin to study the detailed structure, so Lin plans to build some arms with the ability to protect against high temperatures and then study it.

The flame will disappear because it is isolated from combustibles, and it can be isolated with water. This is also the reason why Lin has never seen this fun phenomenon because most of the time he lives in the ocean.

High temperature can be generated by high-speed object friction, and flame can be generated in this way.

At present, Lin feels that the meaning of flame is only used to destroy creatures, perhaps in combat.

But it is better not to use this kind of stuff that is difficult to control ...

After looking around the scorched woodland, Leviathan returned to the base cave again.

Now, there is new news ... There are mosses that have successfully evolved immune cells against fungi!

This is too fast, not even one day and night. It ’s unbelievably fast. It ’s hard to imagine why they were almost extinct, but the problem is that only one of the mosses that Lin experimented on has evolved, and Everything else ... is dead.(To be continued.
