4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2375
Biological category monitoring: lost species, dust crocodile.
The current state of the organism: it initially enters a state of suspended animation, and then transforms into a state of high-speed metabolic operation.
The final result speculates that the creature will be reborn in its infancy.
Detailed introduction: The creature will continue to change its skin during the growth stage, and will not stop until it naturally dies. A special effect ... enhances this ability.
When it encounters a fatal threat, it stimulates a forced peeling ability. At this time, the peeled skin will not be directly removed from the body, but wrapped around the body to form a protective layer.
The greater the external threat, the more skin it will peel off as a protective layer. If there is too much skin as a protective layer, its body will slowly change shape, and its bones and some internal organs will dissolve and Change the shape to reduce the volume.
The nutrients produced by autolysis will be transferred to the skin in order to produce more protective layers, and at the same time, its body will become smaller and smaller under the squeeze of a large number of protective layers.
Finally, it is completely reduced to the volume of the pups. At this time, it is protected by layers, the temperature and humidity are maintained in a normal state, and it falls into a long-term sleep until the surrounding temperature recovers, thereby waking up.
-Finished.
"... Unexpectedly, the dust crocodile has this function."
Scholars are looking at some recorded data, which shows how this elite dust crocodile survived. In general, the "dry body" that the scholars saw before was not a dry body, but actually a layer of skin that it took off. That's it.
The body of the dust crocodile shrinks in this layer of skin, and then it continuously peels off. These peeled skins surround the body as a "protective layer", and the body shrinks smaller and smaller Aberdeen status.
Therefore, it can be said that the elite did not die, but took off a lot of skin, and reduced itself to the cubs wrapped in skin, so that they survived in this extreme environment.
It seems that in the center of the leather wrap, the temperature will be normal ... so it's fine.
And now it wakes up because it is in this bubble, the temperature of the bubble is quite ... suitable, it comes out of the corpse, otherwise it may have to sleep for a long time, elite even do not know that the dust crocodile actually has Scholars do not know this ability. Although scholars have read a lot of materials about dust crocodiles, such as the distribution of internal organs and anatomical structures, they have not read them.
However, it is mentioned in the data that it seems that a special 'effect' enhances this ability, but in general, this is indeed a very powerful ability.
Although Elite does not understand that it has this ability, it does understand ... what these materials are written.
It is the material that scholars and it is reading now, which reads the specific content of the peeling of the elite dust crocodile, and this information is recorded on a ... stone tablet.
If it were not for this document, scholars and elites would not understand what was going on.
But fortunately, when elite was moving in the bubble, I stumbled upon a stone slab under the corpse, and then took it out, and found that the stone slab was full of text.
These words ... the elite expression is written in 'guchen crocodile language'.
The ancient dust crocodile language ... as the name implies is the ancient dust crocodile language, it is said that it was a long time ago, the dust crocodile was in a split state, and like other personality creatures, every dust crocodile wanted to be a ruler, so at that time there was Many 'commanders', these commanders are fighting each other. At that time, the dust crocodiles used different languages than they now use.
It wasn't until the dust crocodile unified that the language was slowly unified and developed as it is now, but ... this does not mean that the previous language has just fallen.
Because there are many records in the past languages, the current dust crocodile also likes to study the previous things, and elite is also interested in studying ancient civilizations ... one of the researchers.
So it understands these ancient crocodile words.
"The ancient dust crocodile ..." After learning all this, the scholar asked the elite: "Could it be that the ancient dust crocodile put you in this bubble?"
"I don't know ..." Jingrui said: "We don't have the technology to fly out of the void in ancient times ... I don't think this is possible. The words on this slate only mean that they know the language, what their true face is is not easy to say , At least they are creatures there, but why are they here? "
"If they are not ancient dust crocodiles, what are they?" The scholar questioned: "I think it may be a small group of dust crocodiles in the past. By what means did they leave there and come to the void ..."
"There is another possibility." Elite said: "There was a legend before that our civilization developed under the influence of something."
"Something?"
"Yes ..." elite said: "Actually, before us, there were civilizations there. Our ancients lived on the ruins of the previous civilization, but they didn't know how to become extinct. Our development may be Be inspired by those ruins. "
"This is not surprising, but I have heard a legend ... that the civilization of the previous generation has not completely disappeared, some of them are still alive, and have met with some of the ancestors of the dust crocodile." Jing said: It ’s just the legend I heard ... but ... "
“We ’re talking about this here, it ’s better to go and investigate it directly.” Jing Jing said: “The ship you just said ... the ship may have been driven by the bubble maker.”
"It's the same thing." The scholar said: "Then I'll take a look first, you ..."
"I'll just stay here," said elite. "After all, it's impossible to follow you."
"Okay, let me put a thing that can be contacted here first." The scholar took out a mini-scholar and said: "If there is any situation ..."
"what is that!"
Suddenly, elite shouted at the back of the scholar, and the scholar immediately turned to look at it, and he saw a palm stone behind him ... doing strange movements.
Scholars remember that the palm stone in the back was originally in a fist state, and it is now open, and it constantly shakes all the 'fingers' on it.
"……What exactly is this?"
The scholar looked at this strange ... stone, full of doubts, he decided to go over and investigate, but when the scholar came to the palm stone, the palm stone immediately fisted again.
Feeling more and more strange, the scholar reached out his hand and gently put his hand on the palm stone, and then the scholar saw that the palm suddenly opened and a bubble ... appeared in the palm of the palm, slowly expanding Reached the size just held.
