4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Leviathan dragged the flattened spider back into the breeding bin and began to decompose this creature that can secrete hot body fluids.

In the course of research, Lynn discovered that this spider has an explosive system similar to the silver beetle. It mixes two liquids together and can instantly generate extremely high temperatures, but the ingredients are somewhat different, so they will not explode.

When the spider bites its prey, it injects two liquids into the opponent's body at the same time, allowing it to mix into a high-temperature liquid in the opponent's body, so that it will not harm itself, but it can also destroy the opponent quickly than venom.

Why are the body fluids in spiders also hot?It was just because Leviathan collided the two liquid-making organs of the spider and allowed the two liquids to mix.

It does n’t feel like a very complicated structure. Lin might be surprised if she sees it for the first time, but because she already has explosives, it feels nothing special.

However, Lin found another organ in the spider body-the silk sac.

It is something that secretes silk. Many organisms secrete silk. They first make a liquid, and then this liquid will harden when it encounters air and form a silk thread.

Usually Lin does not pay much attention to these abilities, and there are many creatures that can spin silk, but Lin has recently noticed that each kind of silk thread has different hardness. For example, ordinary larvae use the silk thread to wrap up and protect themselves from deformation. This is The most common type of spinning, this kind of yarn has low strength and is easy to pull apart and break.

The strength of the sticky silk spit out by the "Starlight Worm" that Lin once encountered in the underground cave is much stronger, and the strength of the silk thread made by this spider's silk sac is the strongest.

Lin made some silk thread liquid to form a silk thread test. This kind of spider silk only needs about 5 mm in diameter to lift more than 200 tons of things.

Although I haven't really experimented with such a large object, Lynn believes that such a thing can't be wrong. After all, the data will not change.

If you can make this kind of silk thread, it would be very useful, but Lin needs the cells to break down the ingredients in order to fully understand what kind of ingredients it is, just like the original chitin, but the combination may be somewhat Different, it takes a long time to fully understand.

In short, I found something very interesting. The spider at that time did not use this kind of silk thread to hunt. Lynn speculated that it may be used elsewhere. If you can catch a live one, you can conduct more experiments.

The next night, it was very quiet, no second spider appeared, and there was no strange sound. Until the day, the hidden lizards and various creatures appeared again, and some large male lizards climbed to a high place. , Announced the arrival of the day with a loud howling.

Lin continued to excavate the cave in the tree, while releasing a large number of flying people, including Leviathan himself, set off to explore the environment nearby.

The entire area here is almost rocky, and there are many home trees, but relative to the fern forest, the distribution is relatively sparse, and only one will appear in one to two kilometers.

Near the place where Lin was before, there are waterfalls and hot springs, and there are still many living creatures, but as long as you fly away from your home tree, you will see only dry and cracked rocky ground. There is no moisture on the rocky ground, so you have not seen it. What kind of creatures, and at the same time there are fewer glowing creatures at the top of the cave, which makes the whole environment full of darkness and barrenness.

Leviathan flew through the air quickly, Lynn just wanted to find those spiders.

When flying about five kilometers from the tree of his homeland, Leviathan discovered a huge rift valley, which was more than 70 meters wide. From there, a constant sound of rumbling came, and Leviathan flew to the rift valley. Looking down, I saw that the bottom of the rift was covered with a layer of black rock that seemed to be very sticky.

It ’s solidified lava. It seems to be a lava-prone area, but it ’s not surprising that Lin has seen it many times, and it ’s worth Lin ’s attention on the rift wall. On the cliff, there are several bodies that are as bright as lava. The giant spider, this is obviously the giant spider that Lin met in the night.

Finally found it, they only hang themselves under the cliff by a seemingly thin silk thread, they have evolved such a high-strength silk thread that seems to be used to support their weight, although Lin does not know that they are hanging here to dry Well, these spiders curled their legs together and seemed to be sleeping.

Sleeping above the solidified lava, it feels really strange ... Coupled with their color, Lynn can call them 'lava spider'.

Lin left some flying people to observe them here, but it is not necessary to study the spiders to catch them back. The flying people can inject penetrators into the spider's joints to study the changes in the body of living spiders. Now Leviathan is flying back When the home tree goes, Lynn has to prepare many things.

Lin has confirmed that there are no Inca swarms nearby, so Lin intends to completely transform this barren rocky field. Lin asks the troops to bring in some tree-distorting trees and some creatures from the surface to see if they can live here, and Lin also With this home tree as the center, they began to build bases and generate troops.

Although the Inca Swarm has not done anything until now, Lin always feels that she needs to be prepared. The head worm is also the same idea. When she saw the activities of the Inca Swarm, it said to Lin with a nervous mood: "Mysterious, Complex, unsolvable, Inca worms, unimaginable, but very powerful, belonging to unknown creatures, communicating with Aztecs, threat level: extremely high. "

Therefore, Lin had to quickly build a base here. During the construction of the base, Lin also asked the brainslayer to study the Inca swarm. Lin needed to thoroughly understand them, this swarm with the ability to resurrect ancient creatures.

The research has continued. After more than thirty days and nights, Lin also has a certain degree of understanding of the Inca swarm.

The fern forest is located directly below the desert. Each of the dozens of home trees here is inhabited by the Inca Swarm. There are many types of soldiers in the Inca Swarm. Lin now sees at least more than 30 species. There may be more many.

Among so many arms, only the "black bee" has the most extensive effect. They are ten centimeters long and are used for almost all activities such as feeding, digging, hunting, carrying, etc. When they encounter something that they cannot face, they will Bringing in various arms, usually a fat insect, they are of different sizes and have the ability to spray silk thread and dissolving liquid, etc., but they cannot move themselves, and the black bee needs to move.

Other arms only appear occasionally, so Lin ’s research on the role of arms is incomplete. So far, Lin has not seen the Inca worm swarm "headworm", maybe it is not enough to explore it.

Lin now mainly studies their behavior.

Inca swarms usually obtain food by hunting. They rarely hunt in the same place. They often hunt a little here and hunt a little there. At the same time, they will create big pits and feed some worm-type creatures. This is the behavior of giant pits in the desert. Exactly the same.

In addition to this 'ordinary' behavior, it is a strange behavior. Among all the home trees inhabited by the Inca swarm, some of them are more common, which are simply places for stacking food and laying eggs, while there are some homes. The nests in the trees are more weird, including the "reviving fossil" tree that Lin has been studying.

There are many excavation sites next to the home tree of the compound fossil. Lin found that the black bees would dig to a certain depth. After all the fossils were carried out, they would fill the hole with soil, and then find a new place to continue digging. The fossils are piled under the tree, sucked by a small flying insect, and then fed into the mouth of those fat insects in the tree.

After eating the small flying insects, the fat worm will produce an ancient creature in the body in about ten days and nights, but here is strange ... Lin has not seen them succeed so far, and the creatures produced are usually They are all deformed, have a lot of extra limbs, etc., or die shortly after they come out. These creatures will be moved out by the black bees, and then all will be eaten.

This behavior is difficult to understand. Lin can also piece together an identical creature according to the cells in an organism, but this is useless. The ancient creatures are not very powerful, just ordinary fish and some small sea creatures. Lin often sees in the sea.

But the Inca swarm has been trying to resurrect them effortlessly, why?And how are they resurrected?Lynn didn't think that the brains of the Inca swarm could control every cell, so it wouldn't be possible to make so many failures.

This strange behavior only made Lin feel a little strange, but the next one really made Lin feel threatened.

Under several home trees closer to the cave wall, Lin found that the Inca swarms not only lived in the tree, but also surrounded the trunk, and their behavior was not the same as other trees.

There are a large number of black bees gathered here, they are digging around the clock, and their goal is not fossils, but a huge earthworm living in the mud here, this insect grows The thick carapace, and the Inca swarms hunt them, chew them into a paste, and transport them into the trees of their homes. At the same time, they also hunt all kinds of creatures in the nearby jungle. They kill more than their daily food. Demand, but never stopped.

Lin discovered that after the transformers infiltrated the twisted tree, there were ten 'Queens' in this tree. They kept laying huge numbers of eggs, and these eggs hatched into various varieties and some bodies in a short time. It's huge, the carapace is thick, some are covered with teeth, and some of the abdomen will glow, and it has high temperature.

Lynn found that these arms have some characteristics of the creatures hunted by the black bees. They seem to be able to ... imitate other creatures?And it can continue mass production.

That's right, what are they preparing for ... If you live here, you don't need so many troops. There is only one reason for this behavior of constantly generating troops ...
