4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Han Shi.

Lin called this creature this way. This is the first time Lin has seen it. It is not a creature in any biological system that Lin has seen. This creature lives on a tumbler that Lin calls Iceberg Type 1.

This name was given to this place because Lin felt that the Void Iceberg might reach a similar place in the future.

And this creature called 'cold stone', its material is different from the normal creature.

At present, Lin has not yet figured out what it is made of. What is certain is that its structure is similar to that of ordinary creatures, with a solid rock-like shell on the outside and a lot of liquid inside.

However, this liquid can maintain its state at a temperature far below the freezing temperature of water, and there are quite a few small structures in the liquid, maybe some structures like cells.

Sure enough, as Lin thought, there are creatures in the void that are completely different from normal creatures.

The cold stones are distributed in large scales in the underground caves of iceberg type 1. They move quite slowly and feed on debris from the rocks here.

Lin has not yet observed how they decompose food. It is more difficult to observe in their low temperature.

The most important thing is ... they can't eat.

Lin ’s ball ca n’t get nutrients from these creatures, and the ball on this tumbler ca n’t multiply ...

In this case, it will be difficult for Lin to observe them continuously. It is quite cold here, and there is no light yet, but Lin ’s balls will survive here, they need to change into some more "primitive" form.

The ball slowly transforms the cells in the body, forming them into a very fine form.

This change will change most of the body's structure and remove some of the cells' components, turning them into a more primitive fungus.

Lin usually "seals" her arms when she is unable to obtain nutrients in the void, but now it is not necessary here, Lin has been able to construct some new types of fungi.

This fungus can live in a very low temperature environment, and it can also decompose the debris of the rock to grow, but in this way, it is no longer possible to construct a structure like the eye, nor to observe the surroundings, because the shape is very simple, but endurance……

If there are those small crystal eyes, it may be observable, but obviously there is not.

But their number will increase slowly here, as long as there are rocks and ice.

Lin turned almost all the small balls into this original fungus, and only one was "sealed", waiting for the opportunity to come.

Although there is no way to continue to observe these creatures, Lin feels that it is not a pity.

Because ... maybe the Void Iceberg will go to more of these places.

After finishing the arms on the tumbler, Lin continued to pay attention to the activity of the void iceberg.

Lin feels that the Void Iceberg may also be a completely new creature that Lin has never seen. Although all the cells in her body are currently seen as multicellular organisms, the Void Iceberg itself is very wonderful just to see its behavior ... …

The caterpillars inside the iceberg have created a second base. They start to multiply in the tunnel full of eggs. Lynn made many small arms to collect the surrounding eggs. The "sparks" floating around seem to be There is no opinion on this matter ...

Lin felt that some kind of larger creature should lay these eggs, because she didn't know when they would come back, so Lin collected the nutrients of these eggs and soon began to create more troops.

This time, Lin started to make some arms for combat.

This is a spider-type arm, two meters in length, with a pair of sharp blades on each foot, which can be used to cut targets, while the foot can also rotate freely, and can attack various opponents.

Lin called it a "sickle dancer", which was mainly used for cutting tentacles.

After the first 'Sickle Dancer' was made, it quickly walked out of the egg-laden cave and came to the place where the caterpillar was eaten ...

There are many red stones on the ground, and there are many tentacles between the stones.

These tentacles are basically more than two meters long, of course, the exposed part. The part buried under the ground should be tens of meters, but they will not extend so long here.

The sickle dancer slowly approached these tentacles, and the tentacles also turned their heads to 'look' to them as if they had noticed the sickle dancer.

But here is a completely dark environment, they must not use such things as vision.

The Sickle Dancer approached the nearest tentacle. This tentacle did not hesitate like the caterpillar before. It opened its mouth and tried to bite.

But at the moment it bites, the sickle dancer's forelegs swipe across its center.

The tentacle broke into two pieces in an instant, and the broken section was still twisting.

The severed tentacle retracted into the ground instantly, and other tentacles rushed over here at the same time!

But the moment the sickle dancer started to dance the arthropod, all the tentacles were cut off in an instant ...

Then, the Sickle Dancer rushed over, waving its blades around his body, cutting off all the tentacles in this area. The remaining tentacles seemed to be aware of the danger, and they all quickly retracted.

However, Lin has already cut off dozens of tentacles.

Lin just wanted to see if attacking these tentacles would cause any reaction to the Void Iceberg. Lin didn't know whether these tentacles were the internal organs of the Void Iceberg. What she knew now was that the tentacles were directly connected to the waste disposal point of the iceberg.

So the possibility that the tentacles are internal organs is more ...

Although Lin thought so, after the sickle dancer cut off these tentacles, nothing special happened.

Lin felt that there might be some immune creatures to attack Lin, but in fact there was nothing. The Sickle Dancer collected some tentacles and digested them.

These tentacles are very common, that is, they use teeth to tear and devour the target. It seems nothing special, and their digestive tract should be buried under the ground. These tentacles are a complex system, even if the tentacles are not preyed here, do n’t The tentacles of the place will also pass on their nutrients.

Lin feels that there are such tentacles everywhere in the void iceberg. They and the iceberg should be in a symbiotic relationship, used to prey on some creatures inside.

Lynn gave these tentacles as nutrients to the base. After the sickle dancer left, some of the tentacles that had been hidden were stretched out again, as if nothing had happened.

After a few days and nights, the tentacles that had been cut off had grown a new 'head', and this time they seemed to know the danger of the sickle dancer. Whenever the sickle dancer approached, they would hide Go in.

It seems that these tentacles are nothing but parasites?But why can they connect to the place where the ruins of the Void Iceberg are placed?

Anyway, after this, Lin used them as a "shortcut".

By giving these tentacles some indigestible balls, they will send these balls to the waste dump of the void iceberg, and every time, the void iceberg will discharge the waste.

Lin found that the Void Iceberg seems to be eating often, because there is often a lot of waste in the place where the waste is stacked, but this is not a waste, just some gravel, and almost no nutrients.

Lin slowly expands the base inside the void iceberg. The base grows a tube attached to the cave wall to transfer nutrients. When the eggs near the base are not enough to eat, they change to eating tentacles because they will continue to eat. Grow out.

At the same time, Lin's troops are increasing, and the base's pipes slowly cover the cave where the tentacles are located. The base stretches out the tentacles from the pipes and binds the tentacles of the tentacle cave, drawing nutrients directly from them .

Even so, Lin did not find any attack on her, at most the immune system in the tentacle was fighting.

It seems no problem how to eat these tentacles, Lin then crossed the tentacle cave and began to explore deeper.

At the same time, the small balls placed in the waste storage area once again saw the rise of the ice wall. These small balls and a large amount of waste were sucked out by the strong airflow.

In Lin's vision, a tumbler appeared again ...

Sure enough, the Void Iceberg has the ability to quickly find the next tumbler. This tumbler is named 'Iceberg Type 2.'

Although these tumblers are not very large, the diameter of the Type 1 is about 100 kilometers, and the Type 2 is only half the size, which is also the terrain covered by rocks.

Just like before, the flying ball landed on this tumbler and began to explore.

But this time, Lin didn't encounter any cold stones or other creatures, there was nothing here.

And the iceberg only made a short stay, did not leave a few tentacles like last time.

After that, more than ten days and nights passed ...

The Void Iceberg reached the next tumbler, which was called by Lin as 'Iceberg Type 3'.

This place seems to be covered by ice, but it is also a few tens of kilometers. It is not a very large place. The void iceberg here ate some ice with tentacles and then left again.

In this way, every time the ball was sucked from the place where the waste was discharged, Lin could see a new tumbler.

It seems to keep finding these new tumblers, although they are not very big, they are basically about 10 kilometers to 100 kilometers in size, almost all on the rock surface.

In some places it will do more stays, in others it will leave without stopping. No creatures have been found on other tumblers except Type 1.

But this one is really interesting. It found more tumblers than Lin had seen in hundreds of years.

Not to mention found ...

So, Lin needs to know how it found these places.
