4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

After the mist disappeared, this was the first sight that Lin saw. It was like a huge rock, with a height of more than a kilometer. Leviathan's vision was completely occupied by this huge object.

In Lin's thoughts, there is a word to describe this object.

'mountain peak'.

In the sea, Lin also saw the mountain, but this mountain on the land exceeded all the peaks that Lin had seen in the sea. Lin hadn't thought that there would be such a scene on the land.

This mountain is quite magnificent, but it seems a little out of place with life.

The whole mountain is gray and black. Lin thinks it is a rock-like structure. There is no plant on it. Lin pays most attention to the surrounding mountains.

The entire area around the mountain is black like a flame grilled, just like Leviathan is now, filled with white poisonous mist and black plants.

Lin and a few creatures can filter these poisonous gases, but obviously most creatures can't, so the surroundings of this mountain are all barren.

Perhaps the mountain is the culprit of the destruction of the head worm group, and the surrounding jungle has also been destroyed by it.

Lin intends to fly to the mountain to see, but before that, Lin wants to catch a small arthropod swimming in the hot black water. Lin intends to call this arthropod 'ash worm', which feels very fun.

Ember worms are super fast, but Leviathan is not very difficult to catch them, just a simple method-traps, you can capture them.

It ’s just digging a hole and driving them into that hole. This trick was also learned by Lin when observing the head worm. The head worm is better at observing the surrounding environment, rather than relying almost entirely on the ability of arms like Lin. .

Caught an ash bug, Lin quickly decomposed it.

The cells of Emberworm seem to be quite special. Although they are very small, they have a very complex set of organs. This set of organs allows it to ensure the temperature of the body and is accompanied by a heat-resistant carapace of a certain thickness. This creature can live in boiling water.

This is really interesting and worth learning.

Although Lin can make heat-resistant armor, she ca n’t stay in the heat for too long, otherwise the cells inside will be cooked, and the ash worms seem to be able to ignore this problem, they can switch some mechanism in the body, It makes the cells heat resistant, and when leaving the boiling water, it will adjust the mechanism back so that the cells will not die because of a sudden temperature change.

This mechanism is somewhat similar to the circulatory system that some fish convert between sea water and fresh water, but the ash worm is quite complicated, and there are many cells inside that Lin has not seen. It may take a long time to learn.

But if she can study completely, Lin may be able to create a unit that advances in the fire. As long as the powerful shell resists the damage of the flame, the internal temperature will not be very high, just need to be adjusted ...

If Lin once had this ability, then there is no need to escape from the sea.

But no matter what, it must be constantly discovering new things, evolution will not stop.

So now, take a look at the mountain.

Leviathan spread his wings and flew towards the towering peaks. Lin might be able to discover the cause of the destruction of the head worms.

As Leviathan approached the mountains, Lin found that the slopes were covered with black stones, some of which were large and long, much like something Lin had seen in the sea ... solidified lava.

Does the ground also emit lava?

Leviathan continued to fly to the top of the mountain. Lynn found a few plants and some arthropods in the process of flying up, but they are rare in number and cannot constitute a spectacular environment.

Seeing the environment here, Lin couldn't help but have an idea, maybe you can try to change the appearance of the entire environment?Create an ecology?

Lin has been trying to do this all the time. The ecological environment modeling on the side of the salt lake has had some success. Lin's "Lord" successfully made some umbrella-shaped green carpets in the salt lake. These green carpets will filter the toxins in the salt water. , Turning it into clear water, which successfully attracted many creatures. If Lin filtered the entire salt lake, the salt lake should soon be covered by forest.

Creating an environment is a great thing. It is much more useful than just raising a few creatures for eating, or just laying a green carpet.

At this time, Leviathan was close to the top of the mountain. When flying to the top, Lin found that the environment of the top was completely different from the slope and the foot of the mountain. It was actually a large lake with a diameter of about 500 meters, and the water looked quite clear. Look.

Leviathan landed on the lake and picked up some water. Lin felt that the water was as clear as ordinary water. There were no toxins in it, and there were a lot of single-celled organisms inside.

At the lakeside, Leviathan looked around, and Lin suddenly discovered that there were some larger figures swimming in the water. Leviathan immediately dived into the water to observe the appearance of these creatures.

Is it a newt?Some black salamanders are active in the water. In addition, Lin also saw some worms and even creatures like fish.

How did they get here?It's quite far from the sea!

It seems to be different from the mountain below, there is a quite rich environment, but looking at these creatures, Lin ca n’t understand them at all, the worm is okay, the salamander has already begun to talk about it, the salamander ca n’t leave the water for too long, otherwise their The skin will dry and die, how did they climb to the top of this mountain?There are even more incredible fish.

Are they evolved by single cells floating on top of the mountain alone?This is even more impossible.

But in any case, this is a rich environment, but the mountain is so barren, it is really weird.

Leviathan folded his wings and dived underwater. The deeper the turbidity of the water, the creatures inside were also quite rich. Lynn was surprised to find a large number of fish here, including some that he had not seen Species, like weird fish with a bunch of tentacles on their mouths, and some like leaves, these creatures have different forms and a variety of types, and Lin thinks that they are unlikely to evolve so many in such a small place Species, there should be other creatures bringing them here.

When diving down to a depth of about 100 meters, Leviathan's field of vision was already surrounded by muddy water. The water here was mixed with a lot of impurities, but these were not toxic substances. When diving to two hundred meters, Leviathan Has reached the bottom of the lake.

It feels quite deep.

The bottom of the lake is full of impurities. Lin released the collector to study these impurities. Lin found that most of the ingredients were composed of biological corpses, and there were a large number of single-celled organisms on them. They continued to decompose these impurities, but because of the bottom of the lake The oxygen content is very low, so they move quite slowly.

In this peculiar environment, Lin also showed the head worms through the display. The head worms said that they had never seen this environment, but their ethnic group did live near this mountain a long time ago.

"Flames are like water flowing, swelling, dying, and running away." Headworms have a more ambiguous description of the disaster, but Lin probably speculated that the mountain may have erupted through lava, destroying the environment below, but why there is a lake on top of the mountain There are so many creatures?

If the lake appeared after the outbreak, there should be less abundant creatures in a short time. After all, the woodland below is still barren and there is no sign of recovery. Although there is poisonous gas below, the actual range is not very large. Creatures have evolved over a long period of time, so why are they not affected by lava explosions?

What a wonder, it's hard to understand.

Lin continued to explore at the bottom of the lake, Leviathan opened the lantern, and in the light in front, Lin suddenly saw a familiar figure waft through the water.

That figure seems to have seen it in the sea ...

Leviathan suddenly opened the jet and rushed past, approaching the creature in an instant, and grabbed it with tentacles ...

Is this ... a shark?Is there a shark here?

This is a small benthic shark with a length of more than one meter. Lynn has seen it in the sea. Unlike common large sharks, they only love to lie on the sea floor to find shellfish and crawling trilobites. But why did it appear in this place?Did you fly in from the sea?

Lynn tore the shark in half with her tentacles and caused the collector to devour its flesh and break it down.

There is nothing special about the shark's internal structure. Lin thought that there is something special about it that could move on land, but in fact it is exactly the same as the shark in the sea.

This made Lin even more puzzled. Since the shark could not come here by himself, how did it come about?No matter what kind of tsunami it is, it is impossible to throw it over a thousand kilometers of mountains?

After decomposing the shark, Lynn continued to explore, Leviathan released some collectors to assist in the exploration. They mainly opened a large amount of debris at the bottom of the lake to search for the material composition here.

According to the degree of decay of the debris and the rate of bacterial decomposition here, to determine when these things appear.

Leviathan moved on. Suddenly, Lin saw a very strange thing appear in the light of the lantern.

It ’s like a stone. This stone is very large and round. It ’s about ten meters wide. Generally speaking, it ’s not strange to see a stone. I have never seen such a large round stone, it suddenly appeared in front of Lin, and there was no similar object around it. It felt really strange ...

When Leviathan was about to approach the stone, Lin suddenly felt a stream of water coming from above. Lin immediately let Leviathan accelerate away from her original position. While Leviathan swam away, its original position came. The sound of "Boom" seemed to be hit by something, and splashed countless debris.

this is……

When the debris slowly sinks, Lin sees a figure of a creature appearing from it. This creature seems to be a fish. Its body is flat and long, about six meters in length, quite large, and it is actually flashing countless stars like silver. Brilliance.(To be continued.
