4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1543 Block Assembly
"This ... seems to be almost done."
The hazy sky, the white earth, and the air are filled with countless powder at any time. This is a world of fungi.
Since being captured by a fungus beetle, this Atlan has been in one place, that is, on a huge and vast flat ground.
The ground here is also covered with fungal carpets, but it is much thinner than other places, and there is no fungus structure like giant mushrooms growing near this generation. The most important thing is that it can be heard constantly in this place. Echoing mechanical roar.
A large number of the same kind are acting in front of it. They all open some mechanical devices, and use these mechanical devices to carry many things.
These things are carried to the center of the open space, these things are constantly assembled, assembled into a huge ... block.
The Atlanes were operating the machinery quickly. The huge lifting machinery lifted the various things they brought next to the block, and then carried these things onto the unfinished block to assemble it.
They all seem to be working very enthusiastically, but if you look closely, you can see that these Atlans are binocular, without any emotions, and seem to be in a very trance state.
Only the only Atlan has normal emotions and looks at its similar work.
It is also the only Atlan that does not need to work. All it has to do here is to command its kind, and it is a very simple matter.
"Hey, something has fallen there!" Atlan shouted to a fellow in the distance. In the distance, an Atlan dropped something in his hand while he was carrying it. I kept walking.
The work that Atlan needs to do is to correct their behavior. As long as they say something, the same kind will pick up things and continue to go.
This seems to be the effect of fungal infections. Although these Atlan basically maintain the integrity of the brain and body, occasionally some weird actions, such as just like that, or hitting other places with a mechanical drive, etc ... …
Its command is to correct these actions, and it is also responsible for observing that most of the parts in that block are placed in the right place.
It is holding a 'design drawing' of a square in his hand. This design looks simple and easy to understand, at least for it, so it is easy to find those Atlan wrong parts.
"It's done well." At this time, a beetle appeared next to Atlan and said: "Soon, we can reach our goal."
"Your goal ... what is it?"
Atlan has been with these fungus beetles for a long time, but they rarely communicate. Occasionally, the beetles will come over and observe. Usually they are missing.
Atlan had tried to escape while they were away, or to escape with a companion, but it found that the companion would ignore its escape instructions, and at the same time it could not run away.
The beetle didn't catch it deliberately, but every time it left here, it ran into the fungus woodland and made a return. It found that it couldn't leave at all, so now it is only necessary to complete the tasks of these beetles ...
The beetle did not answer, but crawled away.
Atlan looked at the beetle and had to continue his command work.
If it is said that after completing this task, it and other Atlantas can return to their normal lives, it is also good, but it always feels that this will not be the case.
The degree of completion of the block ... 10% less.
............ In this way, a few days and nights passed.
"Okay, that's the last piece!"
It was like putting together something called a “building block”, and the last block part was also put on. Now the whole block is perfectly displayed in front of Atlan.
And its companions, who are responsible for helping the construction, are also tired, all sitting or sleeping directly on the ground to rest.
It's just that their expressions are still in a trance, and they don't seem to recover.
"Very good ... it's done." As Atlan thought, the beetle appeared next to it again. The beetle said to Atlan: "With this, we can achieve ..."
"I heard you say this many times." Atlan interrupted the beetle and said, "What are you going to do? What should we do next?"
"Of course it is to start it." The beetle answered Atlan's next words: "Start it and take us away."
"How to start?"
Although Atlan put together this thing, but he didn't know which part of the block represented which function, and even how to open it, he didn't even know how to open it. Of course, there was no such thing as a cockpit in the block.
Originally, this is Nao Ling's technology. Nao Ling's start-up mechanical technology is completely different from that of normal creatures. The dense structure inside it basically can't accommodate redundant things, and all the parts are off-the-shelf. It is assembled without the process of manufacturing parts.
"You don't know ..." The beetle burst out in a strange tone: "Why don't you know?"
"I ... of course I don't know." Atlan said: "This is not our technology."
"You didn't know ..." The beetle continued as if talking to herself: "I don't know ..."
With that said, it ran away quickly and quickly.
"What the hell is it doing?" Atlan felt very strange. He thought he had assembled these machines, but it seemed that the beetle wanted it to control the blocks.
"We must accomplish that thing!"
Suddenly, the beetle ran from afar, and it still looked like something.
"What is this?" Atlan found that the beetle was carrying a white board. The beetle threw the board onto the ground, and then poked a few times with its limbs.
The picture appeared on the whiteboard. In the picture, you can see a blurry scene, as if the place in the picture is the same as here, covered with a lot of dust.
"We are going to this place." The beetle said: "Just go to this place."
"But I don't know how to start it now." Atlan said: "Since you have found the design drawings, you should also find the operation manuals."
Despite this, Atlan feels that there will be no operating manual for Nao Ling's machinery, but the source of this design is indeed quite strange.
It is logically impossible to be talented.
"You must learn to start ..."
The beetle's words were not finished yet, it stopped suddenly and looked at the sky.
Atlan also followed it to the sky, as if there was something there, but it saw nothing.
But the beetle said, "Something's coming ..."
