4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2833
"If you do this ... what can we get?"
"Don't you understand? We are stopping them!"
"What's the use of stopping them? Not to say ..."
……………………
This is a large swamp.
The trees here have broad and huge leaves, and have a root system that contains muscles and can be moved ...
The spy and Bilu are on the side ... just backed by the creature named Lin's bald crow, this creature was just very fierce, and now it is just a corpse floating on the swamp.
Spy and Bilu rode on it, using it as a raft, slowly drifting on the swamp.
Bilu is quite opposed to this approach, because it feels that this hairless creature is too disgusting, and Lin now ... feels that this creature is quite interesting.
It's just those ... ordinary crows evolved, it seems that they were originally looking for food in the swamp, where there are many foods suitable for it, like insects or something.
Then over time, this crow has been trying to dive deep into the swamp, living in the swamp, their feathers ... slowly degenerate, and become this kind of bareness that is more suitable for swimming in the swamp. Modeling, in simple terms, is a normal evolutionary phenomenon.
Of course, in this space, both the speed of evolution and the process have been greatly accelerated, and its size has also been greatly increased. It can be used as a spy and Bilu ... ship.
Swimming in the vast swamp, Bilu has been complaining about disgusting things, while spies are inspecting the surrounding trees and plants.
In fact, they are hard to say whether it is a plant or an animal, because the surrounding trees all have muscle structure and nerves, but they are still not moving as fast as ordinary animals.
However, they all have strong defensive abilities, and if they are attacked at will, they are likely to suffer.
"Student Veronica ... Let's find some other way, like cutting the tree upside down as a boat?"
Bilu looked at a tree next to him, looking at the way he was about to take out the blade to be cut. The spy stopped him and said, "Fly away for a while before talking."
"Why do you have to sit on this corpse!" Bilu was saying, suddenly something seemed to sound: "Oh, how did this corpse move?"
Neither the spy nor Billu were rowing the boat ... It should be said to be a corpse, but the body of this big crow was still moving slowly.
"Porter," the spy said.
"porter?"
"There are some small creatures carrying corpses under the corpse," the spy said. "They are taking us forward."
"..." Bi Lu said: "Ah ... it feels more disgusting!"
Despite this, Bilu didn't want to cut the tree anymore ... just muttered.
Next, the spy and Bilu stayed on the corpse. As the process progressed, the spy and Bilu saw many strange swamp creatures.
The creatures I saw in the jungle on the other side of the wall are still ... normal, but the creatures here are mostly weird, in terms of the aesthetics of the Ershi people.
Many of them look like huge skeletons, or they are like pale corpses, and most of them do not have normal sensory organs.
Sensory organs such as eyes, nose, etc. grow on the head and the place very close to the brain, which is common to most creatures on Ershi, but the creatures here ...
Their sensory organs can be said to be everywhere, some are all over the body, some are far apart ... Looking at these creatures, the bald crow seems very normal at first.
Lin feels that this place may be a special place in the evolution space, which is a place for these strange creatures.
"Arrived."
When the Bald Boat passed a small island, the spy suddenly jumped over and landed on the island.
"Wow! It's finally down!" Bilu also jumped over, but it quickly asked: "Why do you want to come down?"
"That." The spy pointed to the corpse of the bald crow that was still advancing in the distance, but before long, it suddenly sank, and a lot of strange noises rang under the mud.
"It was eaten?" Billy asked.
"It was eaten," the spy replied.
"... What shall we do now?"
"Wait for the next ship."
………………
During this period, Lin also noticed ... the situation outside.
Because after solving the bald crow, the spy cut off another hand and sent it out, but this time the situation is not ideal, because the location of the transmission is still near the pipeline.
But this time it wasn't on any tumbler, it was sent directly into the void, but it was only about a thousand kilometers from Midgart, too close.
It seems that she has to go further, and at the same time, Lin also pays attention to the previous things ...
The hand made by the spy before drilling into the deep underground of the frozen world, and found some white star ice sculptures, and also found a ... creature.
This creature is relatively small. Its size is about one millimeter. It is considered to be one of the micro-residents living in this underground, and it is also the most intelligent micro-resident. Too.
In its memory, Lin can see what happened before.
This tiny creature was originally a very large population, and they themselves live in the creator.
This place is a very large creator. It is similar to the common creator form. It lives underground, and the body spreads and spreads underground like countless tentacles.
This small creature is a part of the microorganisms in the creator, and their population is a kind of 'beneficial bacteria' in which waste is processed. Of course, they are not fungi, but microscopic multicellular organisms.
This creature itself is nothing special, but I don't know why the nervous system evolved.
And they can share and transfer the knowledge in the nervous system ... so each offspring has the knowledge of the previous generation. Even if the one discovered by Lynn is probably the last individual, it has the memory of the entire population.
In their memory, the creator himself has always been in good condition, and suddenly at some point the environment began to suddenly cool down, and then everything ... frozen.
They also left the creator's body and lived outside.
During this period, they received some of the creator's ... brainwave signals. I don't know if the creator is talking to himself or who he is sending signals to. These signals are recorded in the microbial nervous system.
In the signal, the creator called this cold phenomenon 'self-freezing', and said that soon ... about a hundred pompon years later, it will 'warm up'.
