4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
129 The two brains are competing
The competition between the two continues, but the important question is, how do they confirm which prey is dying fast?However, it is difficult to say whether it can kill prey.
Although the giant cockroach of Mktu ate the infantry and was poisoned, its action began to be weak and lay on the ground, but Lin thought that the resistance of the giant cockroach was much stronger than that of the infantry. This method may not kill it.
Mktu's infantry had no further action. They all stayed beside the giant cockroach and waited for the poison effect to appear.
On the other hand, the head worm is still fighting fiercely. It keeps the infantry jumping on the back of the giant cockroach.
Lin thinks that the headworm is more difficult, which requires a lot of details. For example, when rushing to the cockroach, the leg of the cockroach will continue to kick. It wants to control each infantry to avoid these kicked legs and make a little mistake. If it does, the infantry will be kicked, and the speed of the giant cockroach ’s instantaneous turn to bite is also very fast. The head worm ca n’t just escape by speed, but must first determine which infantry it will bite and let the infantry escape, and The others pounced.
In case of mistakes, the infantry will be killed instantly, so this very test of control ability.
The head soldier's infantry is not without physical loss. It does the same vigorous movement as the giant cockroach, but they have an advantage that the giant cockroach does not have-wings.
The infantry has wings, and four short membrane wings are stacked on the back, which seems to be unable to fly, but the head worm can allow the infantry to quickly flutter the wings to dispel the high temperature generated by the intense activities in the body.
Although the temperature in the twisted jungle is much lower than in the desert, it will not work if the activity is too intense.
The giant cockroach has no wings, it will produce a phenomenon called 'heatstroke' because the activity is too violent, the main manifestation of heatstroke is hyperthermia and weakness, but even so, the giant cockroach has not stopped to rest, it quite hates those Harass its infantry.
On the head of the head worm, the fierce battle continued, but on the side of Mktu, the cockroach had fallen due to poisoning, but it was not dead. Its infantry was close, and the cockroach would stand up and issue. Roar, so it simply let the infantry surround the giant cockroach and wait for the poison effect to fully attack. This process is relatively boring, so the infantry seem to start to sleep slowly after waiting for a while ...
There was a long battle on both sides, but the headworms were violently active, and Mktu's felt relatively simple and laid-back. This competition lasted for a long time, and it slowly stopped when it was close to night.
Both Mktu and the head cockroach are lying on the ground, but one is poisoned and the other is weak due to heat stroke and fatigue.
Now, both of their infantry teams are slowly approaching the falling target. The infantry of the head worms are obviously very tired. Their movements have become much slower, but at least they can't move like giant cockroaches.
The infantry of Mktu are quite spirited. They quickly ran to the giant cockroach and cut the joints on the arthropod of the cockroach with a bladed forelimb. That may be the only place that can hurt the cockroach, but if it is in the giant cockroach If you do this in a spirited state, the infantry will be kicked by the cockroach.
Therefore, both Mktu and the head worm knew that they must first lose the strength of the cockroach instead of risking attacking the cockroach's joints. After all, there were only three infantry supplements.
The infantry's bladed forelimbs have small serrations, which can be constantly rubbed to achieve cutting. Muktu's infantry has begun to cut, and the head of the worm has just crawled next to the giant cockroach.
The infantry of Mktu are full of energy. They quickly cut the joints on the leg of the cockroach, but when a small wound was cut, the arthropod of the cockroach suddenly slammed, directly kicking the infantry who was cutting. Went out.
"Woo ..." Then, the entire cockroach stood up, and it let out a low roar, which forced Muktu's infantry to retreat.
Unexpectedly, this giant cockroach can actually stand up, or is its immune system defeating toxins?Either way, Mktu has to fight again this time.
Mktu didn't seem to give up. It let the infantry follow the giant cockroach that stood up again, but Lin felt that she had no time to do anything.
On the other side, the head soldier's infantry began to cut the giant cockroach. Although it cut relatively slowly, it also had enough power to cut. When it slowly cut out the wound, the giant cockroach that had exhausted its physical strength and had heatstroke did not. Standing up, it seemed that the strength of the legs was gone.
The heat of the heatstroke severely damaged the cells in the giant cockroach, and it has been active and extremely tired. There is no energy supplement in the meantime, and multiple injuries make it impossible to stand up.
In this way, the headworm method seems better.
In the end, the infantry of the head worm slowly and rhythmically adopted a division of labor method, that is, several cuts, several rests, and then switched back, so that the infantry would not be too tired, and finally, it successfully cut all the limbs Afterwards, although the cockroach on Mktu's side went down after falling for a while, Mktu could no longer catch the headworm.
Now, it's a victory or defeat, but how do they confirm it?
When the headworm cut off the last limb of the giant cockroach, Muktu suddenly spoke.
"Failure, Mktu. Victory, Maya."
As it turns out, the two head bugs are staying together, and they may also communicate with each other at any time when they are competing.
"Victory!" The head bug's emotions suddenly became excited. It made the loudest voice ever. It seemed to confirm and show off its victory. To Lin's surprise, Mktu was only slightly lost, but Not very heavy.
This competition, Lin feels really interesting. This seems to reflect why the brains of heads grow so big. Lin believes that most of the brains of heads should be used to manipulate arms. They control them quite accurately, including Although every action detail of the arms and the movement of each limb, Mktu did not show it, the head bug relied on this precise operation to win.
But how do they command infantry at such a long distance?Is it the same as Lynn?No, when they compete, Leviathan is also standing next to the two headworms. Lin can vaguely feel what they have released to connect the distant infantry. This may be the subject of future research.
Headworms not only operate well, but also have a lot of knowledge. It knows that the giant cockroach will feel that something on the back is very uncomfortable, will use all its strength to shake it off, and understand the surrounding environment, knowing that the other party is afraid of heat, it uses powerful Victory's operational ability and knowledge won, and Mktu only used toxins. Although it is also very smart, it is obviously a new relationship, which is not as long-lived and knowledge-rich as head worms.
But what if Mktu starts to choose a prey that is unique to this place?Because the head worms have not been to this place, they should not know the species here. The black horned cockroaches are also in the jungle over Lin, so the head worms understand it.
But after all, it is a relatively intellectual competition. If it starts to be unfair, it will not reflect the wisdom of the leader. Although it is still a little unfair at the beginning, the head worms have spent longer time looking for giant cockroaches.
But no matter what, the head bugs won.(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.)
