4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

1981 Underground Environment

Dark, cold, and various wreckage floating.

It's like the surface environment here, except that the wreckage here is not stable.

They are shaking like air bubbles in the water, they have no fixed position, they are always moving, and then ... collide.

It was such an environment that was displayed in front of Lin.Now, Lin's mechanical spider squad has arrived inside the gravitational ball, which is indeed quite similar to the surface, whether it is those objects floating in the air, or those material components on the ground.

Lin felt like it was still on the surface, not the underground environment.

Of course, there are still some differences here. In addition to the wreckage in the air that is not fixed in position and will float and collide, there are many strange things on the ground.

These things look like ... mushrooms, they have a height of one to two meters, and they are densely covered with wood like a forest. Lin has conducted some tests on the nearest 'mushroom', and Lin found that its ingredients and The composition of the ground is almost identical.

In other words, they should not be creatures or anything, but who purposely used the "mud" on the ground to accumulate these mushroom-shaped things here.

However, this is not the point, the point is that Lin wants to investigate where the organ of the Stellar bus is.

The small organ of the hole ** was dragged back by the light chaser, yes ... dragged back, not floated back, because those light chaser only move on the ground, they do n’t float very much, So when they bring something back, they will also drag that thing on the ground.

Therefore, Lin can detect the traces left by them.

The light-seeker cave has an exit to the surface and an underground exit. The exit of the tunnel excavated by Lin's mechanical spider is just near the underground exit of the light-seeker. It is a circular hole with a diameter of more than two meters.

Lin asked the mechanical spider to detect it near the hole, and was able to detect some residues ... these residues are evidence that the organ of the Stellar Bus passed by.

Because they were dragged back all the way, the organs would wear out and leave marks on the ground ... Lynn only needed to follow these marks to find the place where they dragged back to the organ.

Thinking about it, Lynn let the robot spider squad start to move. They detected the traces on the ground while moving quickly in this 'mushroom jungle'.

Lin noticed that among those 'mushrooms', there are ... huge things, but they are not interested in mechanical spiders.

It seems that the disguise of the mechanical spider is also very useful in this place.

Although no danger was encountered, the search process was not easy. After walking more than 100 meters, Lin had to stop.

Because the clue on the ground was interrupted, the continuation of the trace suddenly disappeared ... disappeared before a wonderful place.

In front of the mechanical spider, a vast lake appeared.

Of course, it is not a real lake, only the area with hundreds of meters in diameter in front of the mechanical spider is covered by a soft material like water.

However, when the mechanical spider pokes up with its forelimb, it will not pierce this soft material, but will poke a small pit like stepping on a very elastic jelly.

When the forelegs are lifted, the pits will bounce back, making the soft material intact.

It is estimated that the light chaser is dragging the organ through this piece of soft material, but this piece of soft material may 'renew', so no traces can be left.

Lin feels that this substance is made of some kind of organism, and it may clean the surface of the substance regularly to keep it clean.

But there should be no problem even if there are no traces, because Lin has found that the light-seekers walk in a straight line along the way, so as long as they go straight from here to the opposite side of this 'soft lake', they can find traces of organs again.

Thinking, Lynn let a mechanical spider start running on the soft lake, while others stood by the lake and watched.

The first mechanical spider ran for a while, and after finding out that there were no problems, the rest continued to keep up.

This place is a very large area, mainly because of losing contact with the ground, Lin feels that the camouflage of the spider may fail.

Ride quickly without any dangerous creatures nearby.

As she ran across the soft lake, Lin also noticed that there were many things moving in the lake.

They look a bit like fish, and they also seem to swim in the water, swinging their bodies forward, and their types are different. Lin feels ... maybe this soft lake is a species that belongs to this group environment of.

While Lin looked at the environment below, the distant "opposite shore" became closer and closer. Lin also found that the mushrooms on the opposite ground were no longer there, but a vast ... full of debris region.

The mechanical spiders stepped on the shore from the soft lake, and Lynn was ready to continue the trace of the detector officer here ...

'Bang--'

Suddenly, there was a movement in the rear of the spider squad. I saw the soft surface of the lake suddenly explode, and a huge fish-shaped object rushed out of it, instantly biting a spider and dragging it back.

Within a second of this attack, a mechanical spider was dragged into the soft lake.

It seems that the creatures here not only look like fish, but also attack like fish. Lin thought while letting the remaining nine mechanical spiders continue to move forward. They had just detected the traces of organs, Lin felt that the target was away from here Not far away.

And the mechanical spider dragged into the soft lake will start a new round of exploration.

Because it was not dead, the thing that dragged it in, like a fish, was huge, but it did not crush the mechanical spider, but spit it out in the soft lake and swam away on its own.

So Lin wanted to just let the mechanical spider check the environment here, because in the lake, Lin also found something familiar ...

No, it should be a feeling, this feeling seems to be ...

Thinking, Lin let the mechanical spider swim towards the bottom of the lake.

Surging here feels like moving in jelly, it's a little difficult, and ... quite interesting.

The bottom of the lake here is very deep. The mechanical spider has been swimming for a long time without seeing the bottom. When Lin wondered if the bottom of the lake would go straight to the surface, she suddenly found something.

This thing is all white, it seems to be solidified in the jelly-like matter of the soft lake, and this thing is ... the organ of the stellar bus.

It was about the size of the one that the light chaser dragged back, and Lynn found that it was slowly ...

Become smaller.
