4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Episode 238
Above a small snow-melted lake in the forest, a creature with strong armor slowly crawled out of the tree roots protruding into the water. After it climbed to a certain height, its carapace began to crack. Among the fissures, four long wing membranes stretched out. With the extension of the wings, its body slowly rose, and now its wings and body are still very soft, but after completely hardened in the air, It will become a terrifying Sky Hunter.
But before that ... 'snap'.
It was swallowed by a reptile from the sky. The creature patted its wings and flew into the sky.
Giant veined dragonflies are powerful predators in the air. They have been walking on the sky for quite a long time, but they never thought that at this time, the hunter became ... a prey.
There are many kinds of giant veined dragonflies, most of them like to lay eggs in the water. Lynn only found a kind of giant scarlet fly that will lay eggs in the mud at the end of summer, waiting for the spring ice and snow to melt. After hatching, their larvae begin to leave the water and emerge before they reach full size.
Their larvae may be able to judge the oxygen level in the air, because dragonfly larvae are very resistant to hypoxia, but they can still know that they will turn into dragonflies if they do not grow completely.
Now that the spring has passed halfway, there are a large number of small arthropod cubs appearing. They eat the huge bodies of the 'predecessors' in a much smaller size than before, and continue to escape in the reptile hunt.
If the respiratory organs have n’t changed, they may look like this forever, but it seems that they are currently adaptable. The small body makes them faster, plus there are not many reptiles, and their lives are still similar to the previous ones. of.
The largest arthropod discovered by Lin at present is only about 20 centimeters. It is a large cricket, and no creature has exceeded this size.
But among them, Lin did n’t see worms. Worms are very old creatures. Giant creatures like the mist worms do n’t know whether they can live in an oxygen-deficient environment. Their respiratory organs are like arthropods, but You can exercise to inhale oxygen, but Lynn has not seen them so far.
The creatures on land have undergone a huge change, and the same is true in the sea in the canyon. As the month leaves, the water level begins to slowly lower. Once it exits the canyon, the creatures still in the water must struggle to survive Just fine.
Many tiny creatures are now gathered in the canyon. They are called 'plankton'. They are composed of many kinds of creatures, usually miniature multi-celled creatures. They used to be common in the sea, once disappeared, but now they come out again Because there are a lot of nutrients washed into the canyon with the melting snow, including a lot of mud, corpses, etc. decomposed by fungi, almost all related to fungi, these nutrients let them reproduce crazy.
Watching all this start to change slowly, Lin felt the need to make a decision.
Reptiles have become the largest creatures in this hypoxic world. They obviously will evolve, but the general evolution is too slow, and it may take a long time to wait, but Lin does not want to wait that long.
After the last deep sleep, Lin found that it didn't need to wait that long, maybe only a few thousand, or even a few hundred years, and the creature would change a lot. This change depends on the surrounding environment, and the two have a great relationship. If it is a stable environment at the beginning, the creatures may not change for a long time, but now it is different. The current environment is not stable, and the creatures will quickly evolve to change themselves.
Biological evolution can become very fast, and a species can be completely unrecognizable in hundreds of years when it is disturbed by various factors.
Maybe Lynn should take a deep sleep and wait for them to evolve?
No, this time, Lynn won't do it again ...
This time, Lin intends to travel to a distant place and start a journey to an unexplored new continent. On other continents, Lin does not know what new species there will be, everything is brand new!Instead of waiting for it to evolve into something new as it is now.
Now that you have decided, start quickly.
Lin also slept, but she left some troops on the northern continent to sleep, and then waited for a certain period of time to wake them up. This feels very good. After a while, watching it can guarantee the "surprise", in fact it has been It's boring to stare at them as they slowly become real.
Then the problem is the part of the troops that should be taken away ... The troops can take whatever they want, but Lin still wants to take some 'things' away.
What to bring?For example, some creatures in the oxygen fortress, as well as some common reptiles in the twisted jungle, such as the Spar lizard, which is currently the largest number of reptiles, and their self-regulating body temperature is really advantageous. The reptiles basically rely on the sun to raise their body temperature.
If you take them away, if Lin goes to another continent and finds that it is a desert, she can try to build an environment there.
Even if it is not a desert, Lynn can establish an environment, and then look at the different forms of creatures that separate the two places.
This is a very interesting look, but to remove a lot of animals and plants, Lin needs a lot of huge floating objects, but it ’s much easier if you do n’t have a mature twisted tree, because the roots of the twisted tree are too long to take them You have to dig up a lot of dirt or something.
If you only bring creatures and a pile of seeds, then it is really easy, so decide it, and get some ferns and moss in the past.
Originally I just wanted a pioneer to go, but now Lin decided to bring a lot of things to the past, so she must start preparing quickly. Lin started to build a temporary base in the jungle and began to construct a large number of air forces. 'Transporter' for flight.
These transporters are not responsible for transporting things. They themselves are a huge gas bladder. They are only responsible for increasing buoyancy to pull up heavy objects, etc. If Mingshi can still be used now, it will be much easier.
But even if the moon did n’t leave, it ’s useless. The moon should always be over the northern continent, so Lin had never found a moon before. If it is too far from the northern continent, the effect of Naruto will slowly decrease. , Or even disappear completely.
You ca n’t rely on Naruto, you can only rely on floating arms, and a considerable amount is needed. Lin also has to create a new lighter shell structure to load these large numbers of creatures.
Lin needs a lot of nutrients to make these things. Originally, the twisted jungle was no big creatures, but now it is the season of the vine fern growing. Lin let a large number of predators begin to harvest the vine fern and transform it into a lot of nutrients Make troops.
In order to prevent any danger, Lin also needs some combat troops and a large number of 'art creators', usually used to explode the clouds and the like.
At the same time, Lin also told the head bug that when the head bug heard it, it immediately indicated that it also wanted to keep up.
The head bug is boring, but Lin feels that even if it is the same as before, it will want to keep up. It is quite adventurous, and it will try to experience everything interesting in person.
In fact, Lin found that the main reason why headworms are unhappy is that most of the dragonflies have disappeared, and it is difficult to eat roasted dragonflies or anything ...
Although it ’s okay to carry the head worm, but with its ethnic group, Lin needs to create a lot of troops. The number of the head worm group is large, which is a bit troublesome.
Immediately after Lin and Head Worm said it, it immediately stated that it could take only one 'Queen', and the other clan ** would be managed by Mktu.
As a result, the headworm quickly rolled over and found Mktu.
"I, Lynn, will go to a distant place, Mktu, troops, you will keep it, here, to form a new ethnic group."
"Maya, tumbling, leaving, spreading the ethnic group, it is quite valuable."
Mktu was very supportive of this, so Lin planned to go with the head bug, it was actually very interesting to take it, and Lin could continue to conduct various studies on her thoughts.
The manufacturing forces proceeded quickly. During this period, creatures were also selected. Lin brought all the creatures and some reptiles in the oxygen hood. In addition, Lin dug out three mature twisted trees, and there is a big Pile of seeds.
At the same time Lin also brought some small home trees.
There are a lot of growing home trees under the ground now, and they are growing very slowly. I do n’t know how long it will take to grow into the huge ones of the underground world, and Lin found that they will continue to use the root system to crush the rocks during their growth Deep underground.
I wonder if getting some such peculiar plants can make an underground world?The Inca swarms do record that they plant home trees. The formation of the underground world is inseparably related to the Inca swarms, but the records of the statues are very vague, and basically only let Lin know that they have done this kind of thing. That's it.
Lin intends to take away any possibility of forming an environment.
At this time, Lin also asked the Blazers to collect a lot of nutrients in some hot springs in the sea, because I do n’t know how long it will take, but to make such a large force, the action will definitely be very slow. Various nutrients on the bottom of the sea can remove impurities And then processed and combined into a soft thing, which can be eaten by various organisms and absorbed by plants.
In the process of preparing everything, the spring slowly passed, and the naruto in the sky also almost disappeared. Lynn found that they would slowly lower the height, but more of them suddenly fell, which is very strange. But Lin couldn't get above the "month", nor could she do any research.
The construction of the long-distance troops will soon be completed, and Lynn will use them to cross the sea and go to the unknown continent ...
But which direction should we go in?
