4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1967 Alien Brain
"Move quickly." "Don't move slowly, move quickly." "To die or move, choose quickly."
Here is among the ruins of the void.
Lin's mechanical spider is with a group of alien creatures, and floats with them for more than three thousand seconds.
From the beginning, they have been following the mechanical spider, and drove the mechanical spider to a place, that place is ... where the silver thread grows.
Those silver wires should be the silver wires that made Atlan 'ruthless', but they are not completely sure, but the images are the same.
This group of aliens wants mechanical spiders to obtain these silver filaments. They are reluctant to say why they are not looking for them, so they use that ball weapon to aim at the spider along the way, forcing the mechanical spider to advance.
However, they are kept at a distance of more than ten meters for persecution, and they are never willing to be close. Lin thinks that it may be that the silver wire will affect this group of species ...
So Lin first proceeded slowly as if forced, but she was actually preparing for something else.
"What's wrong with you?" "Don't stop." "Or blow you up." "If you blow up, you will have nothing."
The mechanical spider suddenly stopped, causing the group of strange questions behind him. Lin didn't say anything, but just stayed there.
"It didn't respond." "If you don't move, you're going to die." "Really kill you." "You should remember how your companion died." "It was just like that. Now. "
They moved over and used various languages to threaten the mechanical spiders, but none of them actually attacked.
"Why is there no response?" "Do you want to deceive us? Do you want to deceive?" "Hurry up!"
Lin found that this group of foreign species seemed a bit ... anxious, and they were getting closer and closer to the mechanical spider. At this time, Lin's mechanical spider suddenly moved and rushed to the nearest foreign species.
The alien is less than one meter away from the spider, and it is caught instantly, and then the spider immediately pierces a sharp thorn into its body.
After the initial test, Lynn already understood and calculated their approximate body structure, so it is also clear ... where is the heterogeneous brain.
The spikes pierced the heterogenous brain in an instant, and quickly extracted a large amount of material from them. When Lynn sent these brains to the mechanical spider body, other heterogeneous species only reacted. The one floating around them The ball fired a blaze of light on the mechanical spider.
In a flash, the mechanical spider was blown into pieces by this burst of light.
But the power of the explosion is controlled ... just, it didn't explode to the alien creature held by the mechanical spider, but also ... didn't explode to a small thing.
In the radiance of the explosion, a square object flew out at high speed. This object is the 'core' of the mechanical spider. It carries the main control system and ... the brain plasma extracted just now.
The cube quickly flew into the distance, and the group of aliens didn't seem to care about the cube, but all surrounded the companion who had just been caught.
As they moved further and further away, Lin began to slow down the block, and then slowly stopped, falling onto a piece of floating metal.
On this piece of metal, a one-meter-sized mechanical spider responsible for 'response' is staying here. It puts the cube into the body and then carries out the detection inside.
This brain plasma also contains a lot of information. Heterogeneous organisms are also multicellular brains, just like those ... meatballs.
Their brains are in a warm environment deep inside the body, and are not disturbed by the outside environment, so the cube must also maintain its temperature when storing the brain plasma. If Lin flies a little longer, maybe these brain plasma will ... ... broken.
There is some information about heterogeneity in the brain plasma, although it is not very complete, after all, Lin has not enough time to extract the entire brain.
After a preliminary test, Lin thought that the xenogenes were a group of ... individualized individuals under the division of labor.
Just like ... standing scorpions, they do not share the same thinking with other similar species. Although they belong to the same species, they are independent in the group.
There are also such individuals in the gel creatures on the floating rocky ground.
Lin also found that these creatures are very good at such things as "mental interference", and they are especially targeted at Atlanta ... The xenogenes will release a special pheromone, which will be inhaled by Atlan and thus affect Their nerves.
It ’s okay for Atlan to wear armor, but it seems that most of Atlan in the Void City is not wearing armor, and the affected Atlan will become as described by the former leader. Emotions such as anger are prone to appear, and for heterogeneous they will show happy and comfortable emotions.
This can be said to be two extremes, but for this pheromone to work, it must also have a part of Atlan's brain that deals with 'feelings.'
Therefore, if Atlan has no feelings, the pheromone is completely useless. At the same time, because this pheromone is too targeted, it is useless to other creatures. For example, Lynn saw the creature like a stink bug at the catcher. , Will not be affected by this pheromone.
These pheromones seem to be 'manufactured' specifically by Atlantis.
From the heterogeneous brain, Lin found that the reason why the heterogeneous approached Atlan was mainly for trading with them.
However, after a long time of contact, the heterogeneous began to think of various methods to obtain more benefits from the transaction, so this pheromone was used.
Under the influence of pheromones, xenogenes can exchange fewer things for more items, and Atlan will willingly trade for reasons such as 'very happy and indifferent'.
In the end, the xenophobia was not even satisfied with the transaction and began to try to control the entire group of Atlan.
Lynn ’s extraction of this brain plasma has not experienced this, but it knows this history.
Although the xenophobia still maintains a deal with Atlan, but now Atlan has no feelings and only looks at the benefits, and each one has become quite 'savvy', so the xenobiotic has no way to obtain any benefits from the transaction.
However, the different species still did not give up Atlanta, they still want to control Atlanta, so they plan to start researching from the 'silver wire'.
However, if you touch the silver wire, it may cause great damage to the alien species, so they will find other creatures, such as mechanical spiders.
This injury is mainly ... mental injury.
