4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"The first meatball, the second meatball, and then the mushrooms found in that world ..."

"They all belong to a kind of" arms ", and their appearance may be caused by a great connection with a microorganism in that world."

"Microbe? You mean the kind that will roll?"

"... No, this microorganism will not roll over, I can call it 'sucker sticky', you can imagine it looks like an ancient squid sucker."

"It turns out that things of this shape certainly won't roll over."

"But they can coexist friendly with plague fungi. In fact, they were originally a parasitic species. The shape of the sucker and the relatively small size allow them to stick to other microorganisms, and then they will stick out a lot ... thorn."

"Using such spikes, they can directly affect the host's 'gene', which can add a lot of extra information to the target, and then let the host grow some special structures ... such as the structure that passes nutrients to them."

"That is to say, the microbes parasitized by the" sucker mucous "will grow a pipe-like structure to feed the" sucker mucous "specifically."

"Because the amount of feeding is not large, this parasitic relationship can last for quite a long time. During the parasitic process, the 'sucker stick' will also continue to divide and reproduce, and then its larvae will stick other microorganisms as a new host. "

"They have a great local advantage in this way of life. My spiders took a lot of samples of the surrounding environment along the way back and found that they are everywhere with microbes parasitic ...

"So, something that can't be tumbled has encountered fungus?"

"Yes, sucker stickies can stably parasitize local microorganisms, and then transform them to provide nutrients to themselves ... so when they encounter fungi, they also try to transform fungi.

"There were some problems ..."

"The specific process is not clear, but I think that the" sucker "was definitely unsuccessful in transforming the fungus, but when they were parasitic, the fungus did not immediately swallow them. Then, their transformation action triggered the fungus Some kind of information in the core. "

"This has caused the parasitic fungi to grow into a special arm ... that is now the flesh."

"I am afraid that these arms were designed a long time ago. They have a strong intelligence and command ability. This may be ... designed by their brains."

"In order to let yourself die, the fungus can grow a new brain to continue to command, but why hasn't the fungus grown this kind of flesh before?"

"That should have something to do with the previous 'curse'. Perhaps the curse of the subspecial group's brain on fungi is not limited to the fear of sea water, but also has many other effects."

"But the fungus seems to be able to rely on the mutation caused by the outside to lift part of the" curse ", so the flesh is born in this situation."

"That meatball seems to be able to roll."

"There is a large part of their life process that cannot be rolled over, including the mushroom form and the second form. The smallest flesh we found should be the initial form, and the stage of the mushroom form is not very clear, but there is no first place I found. The two are so mature, the second flesh ... that is, the biggest one is the most mature at present, and its ability is also the strongest, but I think it will continue to grow. "

"In the end, they may grow to look like the" Blood of Plague ", but they seem to have a lot of extra features, such as installing random strange limbs on the body to gain mobility. This flesh may start very early. The fungi that have been in contact with the random cricket ball ... "

"Give them all kinds of orders and command ... maybe the 'Dragon of Plague' was created under its influence, and there are various plans for the fungus to prepare for a full attack."

"At the same time, it also wanted to use a gang of thieves to attack me, and cooperated with a small flesh to block my contact with the outside world, but they did not know that I quickly touched its shield and then went to a certain Found it in a cave, plus the mushrooms caught in that world, all this kind of flesh was solved. "

"That is to say, if you solve them, the fungus will lose its command?"

"No, there is the plague dragon, which is growing very fast and already possesses considerable intelligence. Even if no flesh is needed, this beast can act on its own, direct itself ... spread the infection itself."

"I'm going to study other problems. You can help Random Blame a little bit there, although it seems useless."

"No, I don't want to help them anymore."

"Because they ... don't want to roll at all!"

………………

"... I do think it is not of the same race as me." The dean turned off the communication device and then looked behind him.

In the vast laboratory, two meatballs and a mushroom were installed in a transparent 'cell' in the laboratory, and these things have no brain waves sent here.

Although the dean thought they had intelligence, they never communicated with the dean, so the dean did not intend to communicate with them anymore.

But I didn't plan to solve them so quickly, but put them here to observe, as for their food ... You can use virtual people to feed them.

Because the thieves attacked here before leaving a lot of meat, the dean can eat it himself, and there will be no shortage of food for a long time in the future.

What the dean wants to know now is ... why the gate of the astral world is connected to another world.

I thought it was an accident before. It may happen that other worlds have similar things to connect ...

But this does not seem to be the case. After that, the Dean returned a metal spider to the colony where the Star Gate was located, and entered a building next to the Star Gate.

The dean is watching this spider.

Because entering the night, the carrying activities of the robbers of the thieves group did not continue, they all entered a state of rest, and the other little robber groups that were driven away, as the headmaster thought, gathered a lot in the distance, Prepare to attack the 'Smiley Gang'.

The smiling face gang who knew this was also on alert under the command of the chief, and immediately withdrew any questions if there were any problems ...

While they did not continue to move, the dean entered the building to investigate ... This colonial building is a two-story house.

The equipment inside is quite 'luxury', but now these things are scattered everywhere, because they have been 'ransacked' by those thieves.

Those useful things have been removed, and the useless things are scattered all over the ground ...

'Snapped!'The dean's spider stepped on something. This thing ... seems to be a photo of the original resident here. In the photo, there are two empty people holding a cub, looking very happy.

But they didn't know where to go now. Soon, the dean crossed the first floor and came to the entrance of the room on the second floor.

The room on the second floor has not been 'looted'. The door here is tightly closed with traces of being hit, but the door has not been opened yet.

The virtual people did not use explosive shells to open the door, possibly because they were afraid of damaging the contents inside, which made the area very safe.

The dean knows that this second layer is usually a place for important items, property and the like, so it will be locked particularly tightly.

But the dean knew how to open the door here. The metal spider stretched out his forelegs and poked a bit on the door. The door suddenly popped up a picture.

'Please enter the password'.

It says so.

The dean looked at it a little hesitantly for a while, and then let the spider continue to poke a few times in succession, and a 'password correct' message suddenly popped up, and then the door slowly rose ...

It's really this password ...

In the photo I saw before, the dean found that there was a short period of date written there, so the dean entered the date as a password, which was actually correct.

The original dean wanted to use a more direct method, but it was much more convenient.

And the thieves obviously didn't find out ...

'Ka ...' After the door opened slowly, the dean walked into the second floor. The things here are intact, with several things called 'safes', and some mechanical parts and the like.

The dean's spider slowly walked to a complete mechanical device, and then poked on it, and a picture popped out suddenly.

This is a surveillance system. Every building near the gate of the astral world has its purpose. It is used to monitor the gate of the astral world.

Although the gate was blocked, the people here were all uneasy, so they installed these systems to continuously monitor the gate.

The dean tuned it up and brought up the most recent video, which can see the scene of its metal spider being besieged by the united thieves.

And if we adjust the time further, there will be nothing around the gate of the astral world. Although there are many activities of the vain in the colony, they are almost not close to the gate of the astral world.

The dean continued to adjust the time. In many recent days and nights, the dean did not see anything suspicious except for those passing by ...

But as the dean continued to adjust ... it finally saw a suspicious dummy.

When the dean saw it, the virtual person was lying under the blockade of the gate of the astral world, as if he was doing something, but because it was turned away from him, the dean couldn't see what it was doing.

After it got a bit, it reached out and tapped lightly on the shell, and the shell suddenly opened a hole through which it could pass, and then it drilled through.

Sure enough, connecting to that world ... is indeed because there is something funny here, and that thing is also related to the flesh.

And it may not be a vain.
