4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
596 Deep Mystery
"It looks stupid, it's never like me! Never admit it!"
When Lin sent the "Headworm" in the creator's body to the Headworm to watch.It yelled out almost instantaneously, of course, it was called by the bursting bug.
Although Lin said that the sword flea's brain is very much like a head worm, its body is plump, and it is white, and the positions of its eyes and organs are similar, but the shape is slightly different.
The biggest difference is that it is relatively small, only fifty centimeters in length, half the size of a headworm, and it has a special organ on its back that can spray water forward.
However ... Lin thinks that this thing has some connection with the head worm. There was some information before that made Lin think that the ancestor of the head worm may come from the sea ... even they may have a connection with the creator.
But now, the creator is almost dead.
Lin's red pompon eroded the mucus around it, and then began to corrode the bark of the tree's root brain. Some red pompon had invaded its interior and began to engulf the microorganisms and cells inside.
Lin can see that in these tree roots, all kinds of tiny creatures are closely connected, just like a real brain, which transmits the information of the brain, even if they are attacked by red pompon, It won't stop ...
But Lin found that special cells gathered in the damaged area and tried to repair it. This phenomenon is very special. The creator's recovery ability is obviously stronger than ordinary creatures.
However, it cannot compare with the swallowing speed of the red pompon.
The red pompon protrudes a large number of tiny tentacles, directly tearing, absorbing, decomposing, and growing these cells, and they slowly damage the structure of the entire brain like a virus ...
"... Stop ... Stop! You will destroy, everything will destroy!"
The sword flea's brain sent a message to Lin almost crazy, which made Lin a little hesitant, maybe what would happen if the brain was destroyed ...
But even that doesn't matter.
The sword flea in the root of the tree is also constantly attacking the red pompon like crazy. Lynn's red pompon forms a line of defense around the creator's brain, while the root in the tree continues to multiply and swallow. A lot of cells inside ...
The creator's brain is emotional, it starts with anger, then becomes panic, and finally turns into fear ... When its cells are swallowed up little by little, Lin also feels that his emotions are slowly The ground dissipated.
When many of the structures inside were swallowed by red pom-poms, the nerves between the creator ’s brains could not continue to pass, and its thoughts began to disappear ...
It's like slowly sinking into the quagmire ... After the red pompon engulfed more than half of the cells, Lin could not feel the creator's thought at all.
However, the red pompoms did not stop, they decomposed any microbes that could be found inside.
Finally, the red pompon tears the outer skin of the tree root, and the entire root cluster of tens of meters is wrapped in red, slowly disappearing ... dissipating, completely disappeared without a trace.
"No ..." Sword flea's brain is now locked in a cage made by mad bees using shell materials. It looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly crashed into the cage wildly, saying: "No! No! No!"
The powerful brain waves continue to spread, and the crazy sword flea is still fighting, but it is meaningless. After completely tearing the creator ’s brain, Lin found that there is nothing abnormal around him, except for the dark green water around him. Other than those sword flea, it is still very calm.
Is this brain of sword flea just lying?However, it does look quite crazy. Normal creatures will be very calm when pretending, or pretend to be very calm ...
Next, Lin stayed here for thousands of seconds, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, let the bee's army swim with the sword flea's brain to the top of the tree trunk.
The red pompoms stay here. They begin to aggregate into hundreds of larger red pompoms, which are about the same as the general pompons, and have a diameter of one meter. They are going to stay here and continue to observe whether the surrounding environment will change.
The mad bee flew away from the tree trunk with the brain of the sword flea, they flew out of the big hole on the ground, and put this brain in the Ark and shut it in a special place.
There is still a lot of research that needs to be done on Tarim, mainly to see if it has a 'kinship' with headworms. They may or may not be related, and they cannot be judged completely by appearance.
The Ark has the same "research capsule" as Behemoth. Some tentacles with small needles stick out from the surface of the research capsule. They completely ignore the struggle of the brain and inject miniature arms into the brain ...
The miniature arms quickly swim inside and observe every structure.
It turns out that ... it looks like a head worm, the brain volume is smaller, but it is also located in the center of the body, and there is no skeleton, it is supported by muscles like a caterpillar, and the internal organs are crowded behind the body, head worm The muscles around the body are very developed to roll, but the muscles of this brain are not very developed.
But the structure of the two is very similar, which makes Lin feel that they are indeed related.
"Completely not similar!" The head worm also looked at the sword flea's brain next to the display. It looked at it and issued various "defamation" words: "This organ is abnormally located, that organ is too ugly, this What does it do? It can't even roll! "
Indeed, the brain of the sword flea can't be rolled, and Lin thinks that it can't move at all from the water.
But Lin found that the head worm seemed to hate things that were close to it but not exactly the same. I wonder why?If it seems exactly the same, it doesn't matter ...
But besides researching this, Lin has other things to prepare.
Creatures scattered around need to gather them together and put them in a safe place. In fact, Lin's Ark is prepared for this, so it will be called the Ark.
'Guru ...'
Just when Lin was about to start, she suddenly heard some voices ...
The sound came from the trunk. The red pompoms saw some big bubbles rising from the bottom of the trunk.
Sure enough, what will happen?Lin let the red pom-poms swim in the direction where the bubbles rise. There are more and more bubbles below, but they also become more fragmented. As we approach the bottom, some strange things appear in front of Lin ...
At the bottom of the tree trunk is a layer of waste like silt. Sword flea accumulates the waste generated by the activities of the cells and themselves here. They will only carry away this waste when they have accumulated to a certain extent.
This layer of waste Lin didn't yet know how high it piled up, and now, some gray stones protrude from the silt-like waste, and some things like sharp fragments.
These stones are not waste materials. The waste materials are very fine particles. These stones have not been seen before by Lin. They are basically ten centimeters in size. At this time, some bubbles appeared in the mud, Lin saw A stone was squeezed out of the mud ...
Is there something underneath?Maybe it should be investigated, and these stones seem strange.
Thinking, Lynn let the assembled large red pom-poms dig up the waste and drill deep.
It seems that there are quite a lot of organisms in these wastes, not only fungi, but also some arthropods that can be seen, even small trilobites, and some worms and other creatures ...
This feels like digging some buried fossils, and these fossils are actually alive.
Probably because the sword flea only cleans the top layer of waste, the creatures below live well
After digging for more than ten meters, the red pompon has reached the bottom of the waste. Here, you can see some special structures. This 'ground' has dense holes, about ten centimeters in diameter, and their The structure seems to be different from the structure around or on the top of this tree trunk, but from another substance.
This substance ... once Lin saw it somewhere ...
Lynn let some smaller red pom-poms with a diameter of about one centimeter drill into the dense holes on the ground, which seemed to be a complex passageway. The pompoms radiated light and advanced while shining the surrounding road.
In the passage, you can see some bubbles popping up from time to time, and there are quite a lot of sword fleas inside. They seem to act on their own even without their brains, but they have not attacked much. The sword fleas here are A special appearance, they are fat, and swim very slowly, Lin knows that this is a sword flea used to transport nutrients.
After diving for more than ten meters, Lin ’s red pompoms came to a spacious space. It seems that the room here is about the same size as the trunk above, that is to say, there are hundreds of meters, but the height is not very good, only about ten About meters, it seems that all the holes above are connected to this place.
There are quite a few sword flea here, they are busy transporting nutrients out.
In this space, Lin saw many white things on the ground, and they are getting smaller bit by bit, it seems that the sword fleas are constantly biting them off and transporting them to the trunk above?
Maybe here ... is where the creators store their nutrients.
But the size here is obviously not enough to support the entire creator, there may be a lot of space like this ...
Lin let the red pompon float on the white things on the ground, and swallowed some to decompose into the body.
This is ... a very pure nutritional structure, and Lin is quite familiar with it.
Lin remembered that this was the kind of object called “white paste” that Lin encountered when Lin was very young.
