4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
973 The Problem of Knowledge
"The excavator on the north ... crashed?"
... The news of the destruction of the virtual civilian ships of the Northern Continent spread throughout the continent at this moment, and all the virtual civilians on the continent received the news.
Although the transmission of information to the headquarters far away in the void must have a specific transmission method, transmission to other fleets on the mainland is very simple. In fact, they have always kept in touch, only because the captain does not know what the reason is. Contact them.
Until the moment of the last crash, a certain vain sent all the information, and the fleets on other continents received this information.
And now, this news has caused intense discussion ...
The dinosaur continent that Lin is concerned about is the same as the virtual people in the several flying machines. It seems that every stereoscopic image playback device keeps repeating the picture transmitted from a distance. The picture shows the Inca worm The image of the group attacking the hull, and even the image of them dragging the entire ship to the ground.
"There are animals like this in this place ... why wasn't it found at the beginning?"
"They are not ordinary animals! These creatures have perfect coordination. They are called 'super unified groups'. Some hundreds of years ago, experts explained the evolutionary possibilities of this creature!"
The pom-poms mixed in the ship are in a room, and the virtual people who manage the ship are standing in front of the repeated pictures.
Lynn found that they had never encountered a divisional species, and the same was true of the previous captain. The biological knowledge in his brain did not include divisional organisms.
However, they seem to have similar creatures in their distant hometown, but it is probably a relatively primitive form like ants, and the captain has not seen it, because it has lived on the ship since birth.
The Xumin people use a unit similar to 'year' as the time unit, and Lynn automatically converts them into a familiar year.
"Like the great biologist 'Buffalo Charus', once said that this creature has a compact structure, and their entire group is like a huge creature. In a general evolutionary environment,' super The probability of the emergence of "unified groups" is very low. After the original primitive species are born, they may take hundreds of millions of years to evolve into a more advanced form, but once the evolution is successful, they will be unstoppable! "
A dummy man who was once called a "scholar" by the captain was talking about what he knew, and another dummy man next to the scholar said: "You mean this creature evolved from something like" Popolo " Made? "
"Good." Scholar Xu Min said: "This kind of creatures are difficult to deal with, and they are in large numbers ..."
"What about then?" Said the dummy, who said something improperly: "Throwing a Type 78 explosive bomb into their group solved everything, except that the ship on the north side of the excavation team was not equipped with that kind of bomb. And there are commands on it to prohibit random launches, so they will be destroyed. "
"Have you not carefully watched the video they sent back?" The scholar said: "They just don't take these creatures as seriously as you do before they fail."
"Anyway, do you have a solution?" The voice of the third virtual people joined in. It was the captain responsible for the fleet on the dinosaur continent and was called 'Nimo'.
"I have sent a request to it," the captain said. "There should be reinforcements coming soon."
"Blowing up everywhere will only cause meaningless damage, and there is no way to kill this creature. Maybe it will make them evolve stronger, Captain." The scholar said: "I recommend 'beheading action'."
"Beheading?" The captain questioned. "Do they have a leader?"
"Yes." The scholar said: "According to great scholars' predictions, there will be a special individual in this' super unified group '. If the general individual symbolizes the hands, feet, and teeth, then this special individual symbolizes Brain, just solve it, just like the primitive creatures on our cue ball also have this kind of commanding individual. "
"It may direct the group through some kind of signal or pheromone, we can find the position of the brain based on this ..."
"It seems like a good idea," the captain said. "Just do it."
... Lin listened to their discussion next to it, and felt that this group of creatures seemed to be "lagging behind". Did n’t even know if the division of labor was divided into a brain system and a brainless system?Speaking of ants, it is a very obvious brainless system.
Although the brainless system does not have the weakness of the brain, it will reduce intelligence and judgment in the case of large-scale loss of the community. Some ants will continue to circle on the ground until they die when they are too far away from the community and cannot be contacted. They cannot even judge whether they are following the pheromone they left behind.
However, when the community is large, their intelligence will increase, and they will soon be able to judge the surrounding environment to respond.
In other words, the brainless Inca swarm is the most afraid of large-scale bombing damage, but it is not afraid of any beheading.
They completely reversed the strategy.
Thinking, Lin began to pay attention to the pompoms outside. Under the crystallized giant ship, the excavation of the Void People still continues. They have built a lot of hemispherical buildings here, but this time the Void People are swinging on the ground. Some special buildings were put in.
This kind of buildings looks like a minaret with a height of more than ten meters. Because of the big relationship, they are all carried by the huge virtual people.
These 'large virtual people' should be called 'virtual mechas'. They have various shapes and sizes, but they are usually about seven meters in size. They look almost the same as the armoured people, but they are larger. That's it.
The inside is also controlled by the virtual people, but they basically move with six limbs instead of limbs.
These mechas placed the minaret in the center of the excavation field, and then a group of virtual people below arranged the stereoscopic image device to start debugging.
"Contacting ..."
It seems that they have to carry out such troublesome steps in order to send information to the headquarters in the void, is it because they are too far away?
And their ships seem to be able to send directly, why should they come outside specially?
"The contact was successful." The debugged Minmin said: "The information has been sent, waiting for a reply ..."
Near the debugger, a group of virtual people were also looking at the images. They all seemed to be nervously waiting for the news to come.
'Beep!'
Suddenly, the reply message is displayed in the image.
"All excavation ships continue to excavate, they have dispatched reinforcements and have begun to implement a danger removal plan."
At the same time, in the void, Lin's orbiters can see that there are a large number of aircraft flying out of the remote Void base ...
