4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

A large number of small needles struck Leviathan's shell and made a small sound. They didn't have any one that could penetrate Leviathan's carapace, but they had a tentacle sticking to Leviathan's outstretched hand.

Lin felt a strange liquid pouring into her tentacles. This is not a venom, but it seems that there is a special ingredient, like ... Some organisms secrete liquid when they are excited. Usually, organisms secrete such ingredients to make themselves become Excited, the activity becomes rapid in a certain time, of course, Lin does not need, Lin can directly make the cells in an excited state.

But why is there a liquid in the needle shot by this tree that excites the creature?If it is a carnivorous plant, it should shoot venom or something.

Lynn controlled the blood vessels to contract and squeezed out the fluid, and the cracks in the tree slowly closed.

The overall outer skin of this tree is red, which is quite conspicuous compared to other trees. The trunk is very thick, about two meters in diameter, and about three meters in height. The tree is covered with fairly dense, fluffy branches and leaves.

This kind of tree, which is normal except for color, actually emits such strange needles?

Because I only saw one tree nearby, Lin planned not to dissolve it first. Let ’s explore the surroundings first. Then, Lin also wanted to find whether some reptiles that built bone piles on the other side of the canyon to resist fungi survived and arrived. here.

Leviathan observes the forest creatures in the jungle while slowly moving in the direction of the mountain. Various small creatures in the jungle ran in front of Leviathan. Lynn named and classified them. , Lin feels that these creatures should be separated from reptiles, and belong to some separate special species, such as ... 'dinosaur'.

Lin discovered this term a long time ago, but it has been useless. Now she has found a suitable creature to use.

At the same time, Lin also discovered another problem. The original purpose of Lin ’s study of biological evolution was to let herself evolve in order to learn from it, but now almost all of them are studied because of “fun”. Although it is said that there is nothing bad, it cannot be Forget the original purpose.

Leviathan's exploration is now more leisurely, so Lyn turned her attention to the sea.

Bombers and Behemoth are looking for traces of plague fungus on the sea outside the continent. After infecting the continent, the fungus floated to the sea. The reason why they did not cross the rift. Lin already knew that their dust was in the rift. It will die in the mist, it seems that the air in the mist affects them.

There may be some flying creatures flying out and infected with fungi, but they should fly through the mist when they enter and exit, and then be 'disinfected', but it is not guaranteed that 100% of the fungus does not enter, maybe the creature itself There is some resistance.

If only a small amount of dust, the infection grows very slowly, not much faster than ordinary fungi. Even the immune cells of ordinary organisms can destroy them at this stage, but at the same time, a large amount of dust is infected. It is estimated that there are no organisms. Resistable.

In addition to this new class of arms researched by Lin.

Behemoth has now found an island infected with fungi. The island is 50 meters long and 30 meters wide, which is quite small, but it is covered with a lot of plague fungi, huge tree-like mushrooms, strangely shaped Coral-like shapes, moss-like plush balls, and soft mycelium covering the ground, it looks like many different creatures, in fact, they are all the same species.

Behemoth flew to the sky above the island. After a certain distance, the bacterial dust could not float to this position. At this time, Behemoth opened the muzzle under him, and dozens of airdrop pods came with a whistling sound. The sky fell down, hitting the ground covered with mycelium and setting off a snow-like dust mist.

These dust mists are bacteria dust, and after the plague fungus has swallowed everything, it will convert all its own nutrients into floating dust. All the strange-shaped structures are used to better spread the dust. Different structures can occupy every airflow in the atmosphere, and can ensure that most of the dust can be scattered with the wind.

Although Lin feels that if it is to be spread, the full length is just a mushroom, other structures are superfluous. Of course, the fungi have their own 'ideas'. Lin is not interested in knowing that all he has to do now is destroy them.

The airdrop compartment slowly cracked, and a huge ... slime appeared from the inside.

In fact, it is a kind of creature that looks soft all over the body. Its body is not cells, but a lot of ultra-miniature multi-cell arms that are only larger than amoeba. Although they are small, they have enough capabilities.

As a tactic for the plague fungus, Lin felt that it was best to use this. The attack of the plague fungus is very simple, much like the general fungus. Their hyphae grow like the root system of the plant, and then this 'root' will secrete the dissolution solution. Pierce the shell or bark of the creature, pierce into the area where the cells flow, and then start to suck the cells, then grow more hyphae, and slowly engulf the cells.

Their number and growth rate are the key to being able to deal with other organisms. In a short period of time, they can convert the nutrients they obtain into themselves, and they are constantly increasing.

But Lin ’s slime will in turn eat the fungus to grow itself. When the bacterial dust penetrates into their epidermis, the inner troops can secrete a faster and stronger dissolving solution, dissolving these bacterial dust and sticking out The silk thread completely decomposes these bacterial dusts as their own nutrients. After that, the troops inside will slowly increase, and then the slime will slowly grow in size, like a fungus, covering the whole island.

Therefore, this kind of slime was named 'phager'.

This comes from the name of a virus, but that virus obviously has no ability to stop the plague fungus, so it is better to give this name to this slime.

A large number of bacteriophages released from the airdrop cabin slowly crawled on the ground covered with mycelium. After contacting their bodies, these mycelia grew like crazy, and they stretched out countless hyphae. Into the body of the bacteriophage, but these penetrated hyphae will be dissolved quickly, the bacteriophage will pause for a moment, and quickly transfer these dissolved hyphae to the 'core' in the body to decompose, At the same time, the core also produced more troops, and then slowly moved up.

Not only the ground, but also the dust falling from the sky. The bacteriophage must deal with all these things. If too much dust is covered, then some of them will have a chance to grow. Lynn must be more Quickly engulf and absorb the debris that has been melted away, and the hyphae cannot get nutrients first, and the bacteriophage constantly devours nutrients at the core and then splits more troops to grow in size, when increased to a certain extent , Lin will create a new core to deal with more fungi.

In this tiny war, Lin slowly eroded the plague fungus of the whole island ...
