4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Finally ... it escaped from that place.
The flower was transformed by the manufacturing device.
It has a bigger size than before and many new capabilities.
For example, it found that it could feel the 'waves' of the surrounding space more carefully.
Simply put, it is easier to find various kinds of space gaps.
The original flower can also find gaps, but the perception range is much smaller than now.
At the same time, its mobility has become stronger. It finds that it can control the structures stitched by the manufactured devices at will.
Generally speaking, a creature is forced to put together a large number of other biological structures, which will definitely not move, but the flowers can move very well.
This surprised it ... and another small thing happened at this time.
That is the 'fusion' inside the flower.
For a long time, this flower was controlled by a highly intelligent creature selected by a certain clock.
These creatures control the flowers like a driver, they think about all situations and then decide how to act.
But after being transformed by the manufacturing device, these creatures ... were 'fused' with the neural structure of the flower.
Simply put, these high-intelligence microorganisms thought they were the controllers of flowers, but now they think they are flowers themselves.
After undergoing this small change, it did not change its behavior.
It's just that such creatures have no possibility of betrayal ... after all, they completely treat themselves as flowers.
So they continued what they had done before, that is, they chose to escape from this space at some point.
Because it did not know that the manufacturing device would use it as the brain of a huge flower, it always thought that the model device wanted to reconstruct the explosion.
So, it left here.
Because it noticed that the manufacturing device was not constantly being manufactured, but that it would take a break for a while, so the flower took this opportunity to drill out of the huge flower that had been assembled into the prototype, and escaped from this space. .
After escaping, the flower went to the normal void, but it didn't stay long, because it soon found something ... It could return to the entrance of the void tunnel, and then back into the tunnel.
Although the tunnel was in a period of collapse at that time, it was still some time before it completely collapsed.
So it returned to the tunnel, and continued to search in the tunnel ... found the same kind who had escaped from madness, and continued to live with them as a drifting creature, and the story was so successfully concluded ... Is impossible.
Because there is a small problem, that is, the returning flower itself is not the same as other flowers.
Not only because its body structure has changed after being transformed by the manufacturing device, but mainly because of its thinking.
Generally speaking, the highly intelligent species selected by flowers are only used to help them through the dangerous period.
Once the dangerous period is over ... these high-intelligence species will be completely wiped out, and the flower's thinking will be restored to the simplicity of drifting creatures.
In fact, the definition of "dangerous period" is also based on the selected intellectual species.
These intellectual species feel that there is nothing around them, when they are safe ... The idea of the erasure system detecting them will start immediately.
It's just that this returning flower hasn't activated the killing system.
Perhaps it is the relationship between those creatures who think they are flowers, or the manufacturing device has transformed the structure of the flowers to make the obliteration system disappear.
In any case, the flower still maintains ... the complex way of thinking of highly intelligent creatures.
In this case, it has no way to live the simple drifting life it had before.
But because it has a 'feel of belonging' for acting with its peers, it stayed with its peers for a while.
However, it quickly noticed the surroundings.
Various disasters occurred frequently in the tunnel, and various storms and more terrible phenomena appeared everywhere.
Reminiscent of the location of the explosion at that time because of the powerful energy storm and the tunnel was stripped out ... It felt that this place may not be maintained for too long.
So, the flower decided to leave here.
Of course, it is to leave with all the same kind and find a safe place.
It started its actions ... looking for safe places everywhere in the void tunnel.
In fact, it didn't think of going to the normal void at that time. It never thought of living in the normal void.
It believes that various disasters only happen in one area, and they can find a safe zone as long as they fly away.
After all, the entire void tunnel is very large, and it never thought of it ...
In fact, the disaster occurred within the entire tunnel.
So when the flowers traveled with their kind, they encountered various disasters ... and their small populations continued to decrease under the influence of disasters.
But the most deadly disaster for them was attacked by some kind of creature.
They came across this group of creatures by accident. At the moment of contact between the two sides, the other party attacked the flower group ... these creatures killed a lot of flowers.
At the same time they also grabbed a part of the flower, this creature is very interested in the internal structure of the flower.
This group of creatures is actually ... the channel brain.
To be precise, they are the "predecessors" of the channel brain. They are considered to be large, living creatures in tunnels.
They were also in the collapsed tunnel ... escape, but they did not encounter the flowers by accident, but came here deliberately ... to catch them.
Very early on they learned that there is a creature like a flower, and the special ability that a creature like a flower has.
That is the 'biological selection system' inside the flower.
I do n’t know if this system is “naturally generated” or because of what happened. This kind of system that picks out some intelligent creatures to help yourself through the crisis but is not completely controlled by the intelligent creatures is very interesting .
Maybe the channel brain is the controller who chooses the channel by simulating their system.
Because the original channel brain research and capture killed a lot of flowers, which is a fatal blow to the flower population.
Fortunately, the return of flowers found a doorway near by virtue of their enhanced spatial gap perception ability, so they took a little bit of the remaining ethnic group ... probably hundreds of flowers escaped.
The location where they fled this time was normal void.
Because of fear of encountering dangerous creatures and disasters in the passage, this time returning to the flower decided not to return to the tunnel.
It carried a new life with the population in the normal void.
Although they didn't die soon.
