4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

What exactly is going on?

I saw a mantis shrimp guarding the crystal before, and then an ancient squid came to feed the mantis shrimp, and then the ancient squid began to dance around the crystal ... And now, after Lin entered the crystal, she found that there are two The miniature army is crystallizing the inner war.

Lin felt that she had seen too many incomprehensible things in this day and night ... But Lin felt that the answer should be very close. Lin observed the two armies fighting in the crystal. They completely ignored Lin ’s drillers. Fighting constantly beside the driller.

The fungus ball on one of the battles should be a plague fungus, and that arthropod ... Lin has a feeling like she has seen it somewhere ... It seems to be under the deep sea, yes, Lin found this arthropod on the sea floor before Class, their wreckage piled up in the deep sea in large quantities. Although the figure is much larger, it can be said that the two are exactly the same ...

Why do things found in the distant deep sea appear here in miniature form?And still playing with fungi in this strange crystal?

Lin found that although the two sides were fighting fiercely, the attrition rate seemed to be similar, so neither side had an advantage. At the same time, Lin also found that their military sources were the same-the brain in the crystallization center, this brain occasionally dropped some fungus to the left The ball, and then dropped some arthropods to the right, these dropped units soon joined the ranks of the war.

Are these two troops thrown from the same brain?Why is it doing this?Do you build troops and fight yourself?It's different if you're practicing tactics ... but Lin can't see what tactics they play, just fighting frantically.

It seems that there are really many lunatics encountered here, but those secrets must be hidden in the brain, Lin only needs to enter that brain ...

Thinking, Lin immediately asked the driller to open his drill-like head, swallowing the surrounding creatures in war, they were crushed in the body by the driller, and then slowly transferred the nutrients to the back, began Quickly manufacture flying structures.

Even if the drillers continue to devour them, they ignore the drillers. These creatures seem to have only one mode of behavior-killing each other.

But because the replenishment rate of the troops is almost the same as the rate of depletion, this may be something that can never be done. The corpses left by the two sides after the war will also be eaten quickly, which can be said to be an endless battle ...

If there are no circumstances, Lin estimated that they will continue to fight. Now, the driller continuously builds a floating ability in the body, and a bladder slowly bulges in the driller, which allows it to float slowly. stand up.

Because of its small size, it is easy to fly.

Flying away from the battlefield, the driller approached the 'brain' in the crystal. Lin actually never confirmed whether this thing was a brain. The driller flew over the brain and then exploded the back float. The bag fell on the brain.

Lin felt that the inspection should be carried out without harm, so the driller first made some small wounds on the top, but released some smaller drillers from the mouth into the wound, mixed into the blood vessels, and investigated this brain structure ... …

It takes some time, and swimming in the "brain" of more than two meters is not something that can be done quickly.

Outside of the crystallization, the group of ancient squids are still dancing, their emotions are getting more and more excited, so if they continue, they may be really crazy ...

The ancient squid here is already packed with crystal clear space, but there are more ancient squids, and there are more ancient squids located outside the crystal clear space. These ancient squid are not dancing, but crowded to watch.

Lin could feel that they wanted to go in and dance. Lin speculated that those dancing inside should be the stronger ethnic groups nearby, while the weaker ethnic groups could only stay outside.

Lin felt that they had better time to go hunting more and make themselves stronger ...

Lin asked some assassins to investigate around for a while and found that most of the ancient squid had gathered, but no other creatures except the ancient squid were affected. It seemed that the signal only had an effect on the ancient squid.

As the ancient squid continued to dance, Lynn found that the only audible echo egg's frequency became higher and higher, as if dancing with them.

This place is full of wonderful feelings, but no matter how crazy it is here, Lin did not find any special circumstances outside, whether it is the plague army or the plague head moving in the sea, their movements have not changed ... …

What does all this mean?

Drillers are exploring this situation ...

The micro-driller first turned around the whole body of the brain. Lin found that this thing is indeed a ... brain, but there are ordinary organs that occupy only a small position in addition to the part of the brain. Some are used to store nutrients. Part of it is used for reproduction, yes, it is to produce things like mycelium balls ...

In addition, most of the brain is in a state of sleep, and there are very few parts in operation. One part is responsible for sending a strong signal. I do n’t know why. It is indeed related to the group of ancient squid dancing. Lin feels like it was sent intentionally. The signal affects those ancient squids. Although the area sent is small, it is enough to send out a very strong signal.

The nutrients of the brain mainly come from the mycelium that connects it. Lynn estimates that these mycelia have been connected to the mushrooms on the plague island. They transport the nutrients from the surface to here ...

This thing is not like an ordinary creature, it is really like a piece of meat, it has no limbs, no mobility, is this really a fungal brain?It is indeed possible.

But these are not the most peculiar places, Lin found that this piece of meat is not just a brain, but ... two.

That's right, this piece of meat is two brains glued together, one is the brain that Lin has detected before, and the other is only one-tenth the size of the previous one. How to judge that they are different brains?This is quite simple, because the location where they are connected ... is a battlefield.

Just like the battlefield below, within this piece of meat, the two brains are also fighting. They are constantly sending a large number of cell troops to attack each other. The smaller piece of brain has no hyphae to transmit nutrients to it. , So it will also plunder the nutrients of the larger brain, while the larger is a pure and crazy attack, but although it is large, the troops are not as elite as the small, each attack will cause more casualties, and then the wreckage is smaller Take it as a nutrient.

But there is no way for small ones to invade large ones completely. Its number of troops is not very large, and it can only be used to defend on its own territory ...
