4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1752 The Possibility of Civilization
"That ... and this! These buildings can still be used!"
Under the blurry sky, a group of 'Mars' is moving quickly. Under the captain's voice, they supplement the energy of many houses and enable them to move.
The houses made a thunderous noise, and then moved slowly on the sand.
However, they do not allow the buildings to move back. After all, the whole town is still in the bunker. Now they just move the most useful buildings to a location, and then contact the big troops to take them away.
This is also the main purpose of this team to follow the pompon to get these abandoned buildings here.
"..." Among these fast-moving team members, Atlan grasped the figurines in one hand and looked at them with a worried mood.
Before, many players tried to communicate with Atlanta, but later they gave up because of language barriers. Now they ignore Atlanta and focus on their work.
So Atlan is not worried about them, but about himself. Is it just abandoned here by pompoms?What should we do in the future?Do they join their group?
"... Ah! Finally came back!" Suddenly, Atlan saw a white sphere appear in the sky, and he beckoned loudly: "I'm still here! Don't forget me!"
"..." The pompom didn't say anything, but slowly floated over. Atlan found that the pompom was still followed by two pompoms, and the two pompoms were wrapped around a meter in diameter with fluff. Metal ball.
Three pompoms flew to Atlan's side together, and one pompom said to Atlan: "You touch this with your head to see."
"What is this?" Atlan touched the metal ball with his head in doubt, and he didn't see any special reaction from the metal ball.
"It seems that nothing happens." The pompom said to Atlan: "Then do you want to stay here next? Or go back? Note that after taking you back this time, you won't be brought over again."
"No?" Atlan cried in amazement: "But ..."
In other words, it looks at the buildings in the distance with a kind of 'reluctant' view, and there are many small statues that it likes most in those buildings.
But it is a pity that its armor is already full, and it can't plug any more, and it dare not open the mouth to let the pompon help it.
"... Okay, let's go back." After thinking for a long time, Atlan finally made a decision lost, so two pompoms took it away from here.
There is only one pompom left here, and the metal ball is still in place.
The players passing around looked at the pompoms and the metal ball, which was obviously a model of Ershi, with some doubt, but they were all working so they didn't say anything.
Lin hasn't broken down the metal ball yet, but Lin has let some miniature arms drill into it and inspected the structure inside. The structure inside the metal ball is not very complicated, there are some ... discharge devices inside.
As long as the creature's brain touches the ball, it will emit weak currents. These currents have no special effect, obviously for Atlan.
Although it wears a helmet, Lynn adjusted its helmet to a conductive state when it touched it.
However, when the rock skin touches the ball, its electric current will excite the microbes in the rock skin and let them do something that they would not normally do.
For example, "memory sharing" with Yanpi.
Only in this way can those rock skins have the historical memory of those who have the ability before ...
Lin also found that the energy of the metal ball is not infinite, but there is a place on the surface of the metal ball that can be opened, and from there, the metal ball can be 'charged' so that it can always maintain energy.
Those rock skins know how to charge it, mainly using some ... stones.
There is a special kind of stone that can charge the metal ball, and the metal ball itself consumes very little energy, and it can be used continuously for a long time even without charging ...
This is not Lin ’s main concern. Lin ’s attention is that the electric current emitted by the metal ball seems to activate a certain part of the nuclear information in that kind of 'rock skin microbe', causing their behavior to change.
Other currents have no effect ...
Now, Lin is studying how they work, and Lin feels that this microbe may record more information than that.
Lin felt ... the information they recorded should not only include the birth plan of the capable person, but may have more secrets.
Because the creatures that gave them memory may not be ordinary residents of the Ershi, but ... Stellar bus.
"What is this? Was it found in the factory? Much larger than the others ..."
When Lin thought, a creature suddenly stood in front of Lin, the captain.
It was looking at the model of Ersh next to the pom-poms suspiciously. It seemed that because the pom-poms had specifically called Atlan to show the statuettes information, it seemed to think that the pom-poms were good to talk before they ran and asked.
The pompom looked at the captain, and then took something out of the fluff and dropped it on the ground, saying: "Look at this."
"What's this?" The captain was startled, because he found that this thing would move, but when he looked closely, it was only ten centimeters, so he rested and came close to watching.
It was a white ... bug, it wriggled on the ground, it looked very fragile, but it didn't die because of the cold air and bad environment of this place.
"This is rock skin food." Pompom said: "They mainly feed algae and this kind of creatures in water to maintain their lives. Presumably you can also eat this kind of thing."
"Eat ..." The captain looked at the worm and expressed disgust.
It seems that even if they have reproduced in this dusty environment for so many generations, they still cannot forget this "disgusting" emotion, because the appearance of this worm is very similar to most parasites or poisonous creatures, they will cause many Biological disgust.
Well, there are many parasites of similar appearance on Ershi, but this is not surprising. This type of body is very suitable for parasitism, but these are not parasites, but are often eaten by rock skin. Their cave has plenty of water. There are basic nutrients in the water source, which has cultivated many algae and these insects, relying on them to reproduce.
However, there is no similar place with sufficient water in the vicinity, so the rock skin is crowded in the cave and does not extend to the outside.
Otherwise ... Lin felt that rock skins might 'rule' the world, after all, they are the best places to live here.
Although the captain feels sick, he also knows the importance of this kind of bug. If you can really feed a lot of food that can adapt to the harsh environment, don't mention how great.
So it took out a small bottle and put the worm on it: "Well ... uh ... thank you, we will take it back and see ..."
With that, it suddenly remembered something like, "That ... Did you ever go to the 'rock skin' cave? Could you please ... how about their number?"
"There are a lot of them." The surface of the pom-poms changed color, showing the scenery the pom-poms had seen in the cave before.
"What? There are so many!" The captain was shocked, and wondered why these pictures changed on the surface of the pompon, and said quickly: "They ..."
"They may attack here soon." The pompom said directly: "You should leave quickly."
"... I know, but instead of running away, we went back to find reinforcements," the captain said, and ran away quickly.
It was easy to guess what it was thinking. When the captain saw a lot of rock skin before, in addition to surprise and fear, Lin felt that the captain had another emotion ...
It's a mood like greed.
After seeing that large group of rock skins, it should have realized that it has gathered so much, which means that there must be abundant water and food there. If that place is occupied, their group will become extremely powerful ...
However, Rockhide is after all a descendant of the capable, and its strength is not much weaker, but it has been strengthened in a harsh environment.
So they will be quite difficult to deal with ...
If the rock skins begin to understand the Ershi technology and restore knowledge, and plan to expand, they may be a huge threat to several groups here.
They may wipe out all groups, and then build a 'rock skin civilization' on this tumbler.
But the biggest problem with rock skins is that they are not likely to educate their children's knowledge under the influence of microorganisms, so it is not easy to say whether they can establish any kind of "civilization".
How will it develop?Lynn would not interfere with them, no matter who survived.
The main thing is that Lynn still wants to see Ershi, so if you want to figure out where it went, then you have to continue to look at ... the memory of the rock skin microbes.
At present, Lin has captured a lot of rock skin microorganisms. After studying them, Lin found that each microorganism stores ... a very small amount of memory fragments.
If only a single microorganism is excited by an electric current to transfer memory to the rock skin, it has almost no effect, but multiple excitations may be able to 'input' some long memory fragments to the rock skin.
Of course, these memories will also overlap. Lyn found that some microorganisms store the same memories, but most of them store different memories, and they have a behavior, that is, the microorganisms with the same memory will consciously not live on the same rock skin. , They will find various opportunities to disperse, and the different will be gathered together.
They use this to ensure that a microbiome with different memories accumulates on a rock skin.
The larger the memory microbiota on a rock skin, the more complete the memory they give to the rock skin. The rock skin that Lin grabbed before was one of the few individuals with the largest memory microbiome.
So it has the longest memory in its brain, and of course it is also one of the most knowledgeable rock skins, and should know how to manipulate any items with Ershi technology.
However, this memory is not complete ...
