4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

The evolution of the moss made Lin find hope to restore the glittering woodland, but there was only one piece of moss left.

This kind of moss cannot be reproduced individually, but Lin has found no more live moss. Generally, a plant can cut out a section to grow a new one, or a new seedling can grow near the main body to reproduce. But this moss does not seem to have this ability, which makes Lin feel a little strange ...

However, it doesn't matter if there is no moss. You only need to twist the tree. Like the tree of the dark, is it good to grow without moss?

Lin next used the same method to test the twisted tree, so that the twisted tree evolved immune cells. Because there was no way to test under the ground, it was tested on the ground.

The twisted trees in the glittering woodland were almost completely burned out, but the trees in the original dark are still good. During the experiment, Lin discovered that they had evolved immune cells long ago.

The trees of the Darklands are completely unaffected by fungi or fire. They seem to be much stronger than the trees in the glittering woodland.

Are they not the same kind?

Lin seldom distinguishes the types of plants, but the trees of the Darkness are indeed different. In this case, the threat of fungus should have been lifted ...?

Next, Leviathan returned to the base, but when looking at the burnt black forest, there was always a strange feeling.

In any case, you have to continue to observe.

After returning to the base, the head worm called Leviathan: "Fire, food!"

Headworms particularly like the food that has been grilled by flames. According to their thoughts, it is "delicious". Lynn took some back to the base to feed it last time, and she completely liked it.

However, Lin did not bring food this time, it always called these two words, and always followed Leviathan. Lin let some troops go to the burnt woodland to dig some burned arthropods for it to eat, then it stopped. Called.

In the following time, Lin continued to live her previous life, expanding the green carpet and watching the changes in the charred woodland. Every day and night, many creatures were digging barbecues to eat. The barbecue seems to be very delicious for them. The worm is also one of them, but it can't dig itself, so Lin has to dig.

Lin has been studying the charred woodland all the time, so it doesn't matter if you bring some to it by the way.

However, Lin always had a bad feeling in her thoughts, because for so long, the charred woodland was still the same. Since the ashes can be used as food, there should be plants growing out.

Lin found that plants not only absorb light to obtain nutrients, they also use roots to absorb nutrients in the soil, so since most of the ash is plant debris, they can also absorb it.

However, nothing has grown in this dark woodland ...

Lin found a lot of twigs of twisted trees in the ashes, if they are plants, they should be called "seeds". They are surrounded by a solid hard shell, not affected by the flame, and they are all alive, but these The seeds didn't grow. Whether they were soaked in water or in the ashes, they wouldn't grow. Lin didn't know what happened ...

The day and night slowly passed, and the scorched black bushes could not resist the wind and sand blowing in the direction of the desert. , Those creatures who are always digging for barbecue food are not coming here anymore.

The river between the two woodlands gradually became narrower and the water flow was not so much.

"Sand, chapped, and dead." The head bug lay beside the cave at the base. It nibbled at a burnt arthropod leg while looking at the burnt woodland.

Although it seems to be eating happily, its emotions are in a state of anxiety.

Indeed, it may be very bad to go on like this, the dust will flood this woodland, then the whole piece of glitter woodland will disappear, they have no way to rebirth, although the twisted jungle is still very huge, but this piece of woodland that shine , I always feel some pity.

"Goo ...!" The head worm suddenly made a strange cry. Lin hadn't heard it, but it was probably not a word, but a painful cry.

Leviathan was also next to the headworm. Lin saw a spherical protrusion on the back of the headworm. In fact, Lin had noticed it for a long time. At first, she thought that it was something she had grown up, but it seems to have become more and more recent. Larger, in this case, it may squeeze the organ, but because it is full of brain, it may squeeze the brain.

Lin believes that this strange phenomenon should be studied and why it grows this protrusion for no reason.

Leviathan brought the headworm back to the base. The headworm seemed very painful, so there was no objection at all. In fact, it didn't like Lin to do various experiments.

Lin puts a tiny scout into the head of a headworm. The scout is usually a multi-cell combination, because she is not afraid of immune cell attacks, so she can better study the situation in the other party.

This is ... strange.

Lynn found that the newly-grown neurites of the headworm were filled with a large number of cells. It can be said that almost all neurites are composed of such cells.

And these cells have a problematic appearance, they seem useless.

Generally speaking, every cell in an organism has a purpose, it is a huge group of division and cooperation, but the cells in this protrusion seem to have no effect, that is, a pile of meaningless cells, just piled up there. Stop absorbing nutrients and then grow, forming a meat ball, and will squeeze other organs, which will eventually kill the entire creature?

It's really strange, why is this phenomenon happening?

Lin asked the scouts to expand the scope of the search. It found that this 'meaningless' cell appeared everywhere in the head of the brain. The task of this cell seemed to be to continue to proliferate, and finally squeeze other normal cells.

And Lin found that it seems that the head worms like to eat scorched food. There will be a substance in the scorched food, which makes some of the cells in the body become so abnormal.

In fact, it is not like an abnormal appearance, but rather like a "returning ancestor", that is to say, these cells have become the most primitive form, constantly absorbing nutrients, constantly proliferating, regardless of anything else.

However, according to some of the 'primitive cells' found by Lynn in the head of the brain, their division rate is quite slow, and they will also be recognized and killed by immune cells. If a cell grows into a flesh, it forms a small on the back of the head of the head. It takes more than a year for the bulge, but it has been more than a dozen days and nights since the head worm started eating barbecue. How can this small bulge grow so quickly?

It may not be necessary to accelerate the reproduction of a certain part of the headworm.

Thinking of this, Lin found that some of its arms also produce some of these cells. After all, charred food is readily available, so Lin also let some collectors eat a lot, but these collectors have very few such cells. It is far from enough to form a meatball, and Lin ’s thoughts can still command them and restore them to normal working conditions.

However, the mind of the headworm obviously cannot direct every cell, even if its brain is so big, so it will be affected.

This kind of cell will not only squeeze the organ, but also produce various toxins and wastes due to digestion of nutrients, and it will erode and attack other cells, which will seriously affect the circulatory system of the brainworm. If left unattended, it may not take long. Die.

These cells seem to be no longer part of this creature. They have become a new species on their own, and they have reproduced their army in the body of the head worm.

In this case, just help it kill these cells.

Dealing with these primitive cells is quite simple. Although the immune cells of the head brain bug are not easy to solve them, Lynn ’s scouts are not the same. They have a lot of ability to target single cells, and they can easily kill a large number of such abnormalities. Cell.

Soon, the protuberances on the back of the headworm disappeared. After Lynn dried out the cells, normal cells could grow back quickly.

The brain cells of common organisms do not proliferate, but the brain cells of brainworms can proliferate. This organism is quite special.

After three days and nights after the solution, the headworm began to regain its spirit and shook everywhere. Lynn gave it a "advice": "Fire, food, death."

Brain worm seems to understand that since then it has never eaten those charred things, but Lin has eaten more. It mainly wants to study why the substances produced by the charcoal can make the cells become primitive.

But this research is more difficult. Lin believes that some kind of change should have occurred in the cell, but even Lin ’s smallest eyeball-the observer cannot see the situation in the cell.

In fact, Lin can't combine the eyeballs that are as small as cells, let alone smaller than the cells. The average single-celled creature has no vision at all, only a simple structure that senses light and resembles a small eyeball.

Only the observer is different, and Lin has never created a second observer.

Not only in the big world, but also in the tiny world, there are quite a few secrets ...

The substance produced by the charred thing that affects the cells seems to be called 'carcinogen', but Lin feels that the name is not good, so it is called 'betrayal'.

Um, this feels much better. It seems that Lynn also mentioned the word 'betrayal' for the first time. It seems to refer to something that deviates from the structure to which it belongs, and it also attacks the original belonging or other bad things. behavior.

But Lynn is now more concerned about major changes.

The airflow from the desert is affecting the forest. The sand and dust they bring slowly submerges the entire jungle. By the 30th day and night, the glittering woodland had been mostly covered by sand and dust.

It ’s a pity that the burnt forest disappeared, but the relationship is not very big, but Lin cares that the spread of sand and dust does not seem to stop, they are even spreading to the original darkness.

The river is almost dry, Lin tried to clean up the dust, but the sand from the desert is endless, and the twisted trees of the dark source are also affected. Their bark is sticky with a lot of sand. Lin also You must send troops to sweep away the dust from the green carpet, and the land not covered by the green carpet has been covered with a thin layer of yellow sand ... (to be continued.
