4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
926 Life in the Void
This is a distant world outside the void.
Grey dust storms raged in the air, countless sand particles hit a crackling sound on the cracked metal, no moving objects could be seen on the endless stretch of gray plains, there was no sunlight here, enveloped in darkness Next, everything was frozen by the cold.
It looks like an abandoned world here, with some creatures running on this gray plain, but that is just a phantom of the ethereal void.
On the huge body of the Void Iceberg, Lin looked down at the scenery of this tumbler, here ... there was nothing in fact.
Scavengers rummaging for food, dust from hunting, and the leaves lurking underground ... None of this is true.
These creatures only appear in the dream that the spiral creatures see to Lin. In the actual environment, there are no creatures ...
However, their environment is the same. This is a land that has been dusty and dust storms. There are countless metals and gravel on the ground, but under the same environment, there are only creatures in dreams.
When the spiral creature let the pompon see the environment of the dream, Lin also saw the scene in the real environment. When the two scenes were repeated, Lin mistakenly thought that there were creatures in the real ...
Usually, Lynn needs to enter a sleep state when she wants to enter a dream. At this time, she cannot observe the real world. She can only observe some places through some maps made in the dream.
However, when the spiral creature sent a message to the pompon, Lynn did not directly enter the sleeping state, but used the pompon to directly convert its information into a real scene image.
In this way, you can see the reality and dream without having to sleep. This is to prevent the problem of "oversleeping" from staying in the dream for too long as you did against the creator last time.
But this time, there was a new situation ... when Lin looked at the dream scene here, the new tumbler who reached the Void Iceberg also looked at the same scene. When the two scenes overlapped, Lin found there Side also saw the creature.
But soon Lin distinguished them and saw only things like phantoms. Their movements were exactly the same as the biological movements in the spiral creature's dream.
This seems to be the first time this has happened, and after distinguishing it, the phantoms seen on the side of the Void Iceberg slowly disappeared.
Lin feels that this state may be used to represent the place of the dream. If Lin sees the same phantom in reality when she looks at that dream, it means that the place is the real place of things in the dream.
You can use this situation to investigate something later.
Having said that, since the void iceberg reached the same location in the spiral creature's message, why is there no creature on it?What happened ...?
Because the time in the spiral biological information may be a long time away from now ... but now it seems that the environment has not changed.
Some of Lin ’s arms have climbed down from the void iceberg to explore this environment.
They are called 'simulated leeches', which are the types of leeches created by Lin simulating the void iceberg. These leeches can live in the iceberg without being attacked by immune organisms, but only in the outer area, which seems to have a stronger identification ability.
But the emergence of these arms has allowed Lin to float out of the void iceberg to observe the tumblers who arrived.
'Bingshan 371', this is a rare tumbler.
Although it is not as biological as Lin expected, there is air here, which is an unseen gas that is harmful to pompon creatures, but it has not reached the point of immediate lethality.
And there is no moisture in the air, nor any microorganisms, but a lot of debris mixed in. This is like a storm on the blue moon, but the debris content is not as much as the moon ...
If you look up on this earth, you can see the light and shadow of the sun in the dust, but it looks small and weak, and its light cannot illuminate this place.
It is estimated that the relationship is too far away.
And how big is it here?Lin didn't know, but the gravity should be quite small, the simulated leech can crawl on the ground in a creeping way, feeling quite relaxed.
They searched for any possible creatures in the cracked metal pile, but after the phantom disappeared, Lin didn't see these creatures anymore ...
On the other side, in the dream generated by the information provided by the spiral creature, Lin can see a large number of creatures, and countless scavengers are running around in the debris. They look like the dominant creatures in this place.
What Lynn cares about is the form of these creatures. For example, the scavenger looks like a creature composed of several metal rods. Lin feels that they are like ... synthetic bodies.
There should be a 'body' structure in the metal rod that serves as the spine in the center. Lin doesn't yet know what it looks like, but if it is the controller, it is impossible to live in this environment.
As for the spiral creature, it seems that there is no intention to explain it. It just keeps sending messages to Lin, and Lin asks him some questions.
"Where is your 'birthplace'?" "Are the creatures inside the structure?" "What did you do to the brave?"
For all of Lin's questions, Spiral creatures expressed silence and did not answer.
It seemed that it had sent the message to Lynn after hesitating for a long time before deciding.
Since it didn't answer, Lin could only investigate by herself, although she didn't know if it would tell the truth ...
This creature is very good at cheating. It has always used various methods to prevent Lynn from finding it. If you can know its emotions, it is very simple to know whether it is cheating, but now you do n’t know anything, and it feels more troublesome.
However, the emotion it seems to be reluctant to answer now is greater than the emotion it wants to deceive
Above the distant void, the simulated leeches found something in the scraps of metal, which looked like the body of a "scavenger", a metal rod, and a few legs around it.
It is a pity that the metal rod is empty, but this seems to be a matter of course.
The fossils left by ordinary creatures are skeletons, and some cell information can be seen in the bones, but this seems to have no information ...
Lin believes that these are indeed structure-like creatures. The "body" inside controls the metal shell. They should be able to find the components that make up the shell from the surrounding debris heap ...
And their nutrients cannot be obtained from the debris, so they look for the kind of creatures like stones.
This stone-like creature ... seems to still be found here.
A simulated leech turned a pair of debris apart, and Lin found a hemispherical stone underneath, and the stone was moving slowly.
This creature, which Lin had seen before, is a kind of creature called 'cold stone', which is surrounded by stones on the outside and a very low temperature liquid structure inside.
The most important thing is ... Lin once saw it at the first tumbler 'Iceberg Type 1' arriving at the Void Iceberg, and here is the 'Iceberg Type 371'. I don't know how far away the two are. .
It is impossible to have the same creatures between the two places. These cold rocks may have been brought by the void iceberg.
When the Void Iceberg touches the surface, some cold stones may be flicked up and bounced onto the Void Iceberg. Although they move slowly, they have strong grasping ability, so they may be taken to other tumblers.
However, Lin believes that the origin of 'Han Shi' may not be Iceberg Type 1, but here.
In the dream in the information given by spiral creatures, scavengers only eat cold rocks, while other creatures feed on the scavengers. It can be said that cold rocks are the lowest creatures, and they support the ecological environment here.
Although I haven't explored this tumbler anywhere else, Lin thinks that all the creatures here should be the same, and their structure can use the "cold stone" as a reference.
Therefore, here is the origin of the cold stone, and all these creatures are similar to this structure.
They can only live in low temperatures, and if brought to the pompon, they may boil or even vaporize.
If the spiral creature said it once lived in this place, why is its structure completely different from Han Shi?Regardless of the internal composition, or something ...
As far as Lin currently sees, the biological basic structure in a tumbler is the same, like a pompon or a moon, whether it is atmospheric creatures or sponges, they are composed of the same basic substances, and there have never been any special substances Creatures.
Therefore, the spiral creature should not be born in the iceberg type 371, but the spiral creature must have been to this place, otherwise it cannot give the same dream information as the real scene ...
This creature is more and more suspicious.
Perhaps it is like a void iceberg, wandering in the void, its 'mother' created it at the type 371 tumbler, or it wanted to conceal the true birthplace, just find a place in memory and say it.
There are too many possibilities, and it is very troublesome to judge.
And now it seems that it refuses to say anything, so it is impossible to know more details. The only clue is the large number of cells found in an oval object before the pompon ...
Lin has parsed the nuclear information of some cells and compared the nuclear information of all the cells that Lin has seen so far.
Lin has recorded the nuclear information of all the creatures she has encountered so far, and Lin found that the nuclear information of these cells is very similar to that of an organism ...
No, it should be exactly the same, but the skin is a little different.
Now, Lin can almost confirm what it is ...
