4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 126 Environmental Creator
In the glittering woodland, the moss here grows quickly, and quickly covers the originally burnt woodland. The twisted woods do not grow fast. After dozens of days and nights, the seedlings grow to more than one meter high, so Lin They need to guard this place before they grow up, and they must clean up the dust.
Lin ’s source of nutrients depends not only on the green carpet, but the energy gained by the green carpet is quite slow. Although it can accumulate nutrients for a long time, he cannot obtain useful substances such as shells. When Lin needs to quickly form an army, what he needs is hunting. Only the arthropod creatures in the jungle can provide Lin with a truly rich energy.
The rebirth of the glittering woodland now attracts most of the previous creatures, but there are some new species. In addition to Lin, cockroaches are the top predators in the new glittering woodland. Lin found that there is a subtle change in the cockroaches. They are not just for use. Mouth hunting, but suddenly began to use small barbs on the forelimbs that were originally used for climbing to catch prey. Lin thought that if they slowly develop this small change, they may evolve a completely different species from other cockroaches For example, the forelimb grows into a sickle or something.
Twisting the jungle can not only prevent sand, but also provide Lin with perfect and long-lasting energy, and it is also very fun to watch the changes of various creatures, so Lin must guard this woodland.
Aztec insects have not responded recently. The two deep sand buses are still far away from the twisted jungle. Lynn does not know what happened to them. Maybe the last sneak attack on Behemoth was only accidental, not prepared?
A few flying people in the Aztec territory are still watching. Their activities have not changed, that is, they harvested some moss at night, and then hid at night, every day and night is unchanged.
Lynn suspected that they had no intention of attacking at all.
In this case, would Lynn take the initiative to attack them?Behemoth is now on the edge of the glittering woodland and is being repaired quickly, a flying collector is constantly transporting nutrients back and forth for it.
The larger the size of the arms, the longer the repair time. If the Aztecs attack before the repair, it will be a bit troublesome, but if they are completely meaningless to attack, Lynn may reconsider whether to start this war .
Lin did not like to fight meaningless wars. After the battle of Chibucha, Lin paid more attention to calculating the gains and losses of various interests, rather than fighting for threats and other problems.
Now, Lin turned her attention to Leviathan, and her journey with the headworm continued. No matter how important the development base was, Lin's interest would always be to explore new things.
The head beetle was lying on Leviathan's back at this time, and was asleep, and Leviathan now flew to a place that Lin had never seen before.
It was covered with a piece of white, and the whole place was hundreds of meters wide, like a white scar in the jungle. When Leviathan flew over the white land, Lin could smell a familiar smell. ...
Just like the smell of sea water.
Leviathan landed, and Lynn found that there was a layer of extremely shallow water that was almost transparent and could hardly be seen in the air.
It seems to be a huge white lake here, but there seems to be no living things here. If there is so much water, it should be a lot of living things. Leviathan stretched out his tentacles and picked up some water. The water body looks very clear, but Lin felt There is a special smell inside.
Then, Lin put the collector into the water and ate some of the water here. Lin felt a familiar feeling. The water seemed to contain a lot of the substance called 'salt', which was more than the content in the sea. It's much higher.
A large amount of salt forms small crystal-like substances at the bottom of the water. Some crystals are relatively large and even show up on the surface of the water, so that this area appears white. Then it is called 'salt lake'.
If a large amount of salt is absorbed, it will cause various problems for the cell, so there is no living thing around this?
It seems not necessarily.
Under the black starlight, Lin noticed a layer of black things floating in the distance, and Leviathan rolled a piece of salt from the water with her tentacles and threw it there.
With the sound of 'Boom', the black thing suddenly spread out suddenly, flying all over the sky. This is a small arthropod. There is a word in Lynn's mind that calls them: "Flies".
These creatures seem to be able to filter harmful substances in water, which feels interesting, but Lin herself can also filter, Lin ’s own ability to filter impurities is very powerful, most of them evolved in the combination of various shell materials, so There is no need to grab one to study.
Large swarms of flies were flying on the lake. Although Lin didn't want to catch them, they didn't plan to escape, but rushed towards Leviathan together. Lin could hear the sound of their trembling wings.
The flies fluttered on Leviathan's carapace and seemed to want to do something, but they couldn't penetrate Leviathan's shell. After a while, they gave up and fled around.
Leviathan fired a detonation bomb into the flies that fled.
Under the exploded solution, countless flies corpses landed on the salt lake. These small creatures may later learn not to attack creatures larger than themselves.
In the salt lake, Lin stayed until the day, and Lin was mainly thinking about some things.
In this vast area, Lin can also get energy, because there is no shelter from the twisted trees, and there is moisture to absorb, which can be directly covered with a green blanket.
But is the green carpet really good?
I do n’t know when Lin came up with a new idea, maybe when planting the glittering woodland.
But after seeing this barren, salt lake with only one kind of creature, Lin decided this idea.
Lin's idea is not as simple as the green carpet. During the process of thinking, Lin found some defects in the green carpet.
The green carpet can only obtain a single energy. Although this nutrient can continue life and replenish the loss, it cannot reproduce powerful arms. Some cells need the photosynthetic energy that is not available.
Moreover, the light long green carpet ca n’t learn anything useful. Lin thinks it ’s better to create a place, a place that can attract various creatures to breed, so that it can hunt these creatures and study their evolution. Essence can also get any energy and material they need from them.
The growth of general plants is not purely dependent on photosynthesis as in the single-cell era. Lin found that they would absorb the nutrients in the land, and they were able to grow solid substances like wood, but Lin did not have to dig the soil by himself to create directly. An ecological environment will be faster.
More importantly, we can observe the competition and evolution of organisms and learn a variety of important knowledge from them.
If you can directly create a distorted jungle-like environment, there is no problem where you live. Yes, no matter what barren places you will encounter in the future, just create an environment instead of choosing to avoid it.
This idea feels really good, then this salt lake is Lin's test place.
"Wake up, confirm the position, and start to roll over to ensure physical activity, not stiffness" At this time, the head worm has been awake, it suddenly rolled from Leviathan's back into the salt lake.
"Death is approaching, death is approaching." The head worm yelled in the salt water panic, and Lin had to grab it.
The head worm shook the water on his body and said, "Looking at Lake Wow, the water contains a lot of harmful substances, which are harmful and inedible."
"Don't tumble anymore." Leviathan put the headworm on his back, then dropped a seed of the base, and then spread out his dual wigs.
Leviathan will not stay too much here, because Lynn will continue to look for the headworm population, but the species of the base left in the salt lake is a little different, it will not grow as slowly as other base species Instead, it grows and changes rapidly in the body, and finally when the outer shell of the seed of the base splits, a new unit-the "lord" is born.
This name was just thought of by Lin, and it feels fun. The "lord" has a strong hunting ability. Its body is a long worm, more than one meter long, and two pairs of wings on the back can fly at high speed. The creature here-flies, to get a lot of nutrients.
Following this, the lords will multiply their own numbers, and at the same time they will start to build a special green carpet. This green carpet is not spread on the water, but grows like a tree, with shells as the 'bark' and 'trunk. 'At the top, a large umbrella-shaped structure grows.
This 'umbrella-shaped green blanket' can continuously absorb the salt water underneath, and then filter it into the water without impurities to gush on the 'umbrella'. This harmless filtered water can certainly attract many creatures to come.
This is just a preliminary experiment. Lin is learning how to create an environment where countless creatures live.
In short, this requires strong creativity and contact ability. It is quite simple to raise several kinds of creatures, but it does not make much sense.
Lynn had to create an environment with a huge amount of biological species, and they all had to live and compete on their own.
It may be a big job.
While doing a lot of work at the same time, Lin feels very interesting. Everything is going on slowly, but the focus now is to find the ethnic group for head bugs first.
Leviathan flew away from the salt lake, and the headworm seemed to be unable to obtain the odor in the sky too high, so Linfei was relatively low, very close to the position of the canopy of the twisted tree.
The top layer of the twisted tree grows a large number of structures called leaves, which are organs for photosynthesis, but the twisted tree also has a lot of nutrients from the root system of the ground.
The green carpet has no root system, so it has a lower energy efficiency, which is one of the reasons why Lynn is looking for new ways to obtain nutrients.
"The smell is close. Three hundred meters ahead, information about the ethnic group is found."
As soon as the head worm's voice rang, Lin saw several green figures appearing in the distant trees.
Those creatures and headworms are exactly the same ... (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
