4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 42 Buses and Movies

The sensation seemed to be the mouth of a worm, and the galloper was crushed the instant it was swallowed.

The galloper doesn't have any offensive ability, just runs fast. Small losses are not a big problem, which makes Lin more interested in the upper reaches of the river, but Lin also knows that the more upstream the river goes, the more water flows. The bigger it is, then it seems that it is indeed the cause of the dust covering the middle that becomes smaller, not the upstream problem.

Lin will go upstream sooner or later, but there are still many other issues to deal with now.

Ever since the flyer drilled into the Aztec worm's 'under the sand', the vibrations inside have not been heard, and it was not until the darkness of the second day and night that the mouth of the cave opened again.

When the flyer came out of the cave again, the surrounding environment was still a desert, but Lin knew it was a different place.

It seems that the Aztecs would ride this creature buried under the deep sand to travel through the desert over longer distances, avoiding the light and heat of the day.

This method seems to be quite good. It seems that these creatures have developed very interesting lifestyles. I don't know how big this creature in the sand is. Lin plans to give it a name: 'Deep Sand Bus'.

What is a 'bus'? In Lin's mind, it seemed to refer to a kind of thing that many creatures ride on.

However, I still don’t know why the Aztecs are afraid of light. It may be necessary to catch one and decompose it to find out.

A lot of large Aztec insects came out of the 'Deep Sand Bus'. They were seen by Shi Lin in the Sharp Column Forest. After all of them came out, the hole of the Deep Sand Bus was closed again. Dive into the sand.

I really want to dig it out and see what it looks like.

Though I think so. But the fliers kept up with the Aztecs. After getting out of the bus, they were heading west, and the pilots flew to a high place, and they could vaguely see their destination, which was... a stone?

Under the dark night, she couldn't see clearly, Lin could only see that it was a large pile of round stones 2 to 3 meters high until she got close. Only then did Lin see these things clearly, they were indeed stones.

Just a mossy stone.

And there are a lot of Aztec worms here. Are they planting moss in this location like a pillar forest?

The flyer flew to a high place and observed the place. This 'cobblestone forest' is a little smaller than the Sharp Column Forest, and it is located in the desert, not on the seaside like the Sharp Column Forest.

But in the center there is a lake more than ten meters wide. It seems to use that to maintain moisture.

The Aztec insects who came by the 'bus' are now communicating with the Aztec insects in the Cobblestone Forest, and they are touching each other with their tentacles. Although they always made a 'quack' sound, it now appears that they communicate using signals such as smell.

After a short communication, the Aztecs left, and the flyers followed them and found that they had returned to the place just now, and then the hole of the deep sand bus reappeared, and they drilled in again.

Lin's flyer also got in, and taking the 'Deep Sand Bus', Lin reached the next location again. When the hole opened again, Lin saw a huge stone.

This stone is quite large, hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters high, but there is only one piece. Of course, the surface of this stone is also covered with moss. In addition, there are many small holes on the stone, and many Aztec insects are in In and out there.

Just like before, the Aztec worms who came from the Spire Forest would communicate with them and then return to the 'Deep Sand Bus'.

What exactly are they doing?

Lin followed their bus to five places in total, cobblestone forest, boulders, and two cliffs by the sea. They planted moss on the cliffs.

The last one is a forest. This forest is very small and located in the desert, but it is full of various plants, and there is no moss, only Aztec insects.

If you add the spire forest, there are a total of six living places for the Aztecs, and if they are calculated at the speed of the deep sand bus, they are all separated by a day or so. After the last one, the deep sand bus will stop. Returning to the Spire Forest, put those original Aztec insects back.

what are they doing? Is it regular contact between groups? Or was Lynn taking some action because she had cut off the moss of the Pinnacles?

It's really hard to understand.

Lin has placed flyers in all the territories of the Aztecs to observe, and Lin's flyers can be divided into more flyers.

Next, Lin asked the pilots to continue to study them. Lin found that the Aztec worms in Jianzhu Forest would take the bus again every three days or so, travel back and forth among the other five locations, and then return to Jianzhulin. Pillar forest, and it is the same group of insects every time, but other than that, there seems to be no special performance. Aztec insects in other places are also nocturnal like those in the sharp pillar forest. Feed on moss or other plants.

In addition, Lin also conducted some research on the life of Aztecs. In fact, except for the 'deep sand bus' hidden under the desert, there are three types of them, one is four meters long and the largest in size, and the other two They are all about ten centimeters, but one can fly and the other cannot fly. In addition, they communicate by smell and sound. Except for the one that can fly, the other two are blind.

Lin also conducted some investigations on their environment. In the territory of the Aztecs, they will kill all creatures except themselves and plants, and only a few creatures will not kill, usually relatively hard, such as beetles , so only a very small number of creatures with hard shells, or creatures that are good at hiding, and flying will appear in the Aztec territory during the day.

In addition, each of their territories is very small, probably because of the limitation of water sources, the largest is the Sharp Post Forest, but it is more than ten kilometers in circumference, and it is quite narrow.

They don't expand their territory because the surrounding deserts seem to have little impact on the environment.

Seems like a harmless species, the act of taking the deep sand bus should be a regular contact.

These creatures are fun, why do they build nests all over the desert instead of the twisted jungle? About this, it really made Lin feel very strange.

Why? Lin is now researching this question, but the answer may be difficult to find.

Now, the restoration of the glittering woodland has been very successful. The planted moss is very suitable for the appearance of the place. At the same time, the buried tree species have also begun to grow. They absorb the ashes of those flames and grow very quickly. The fungus-resistant moss that breeds with them solves the problem completely.

In this way, this woodland will soon be radiating the light of life again!

After completing this, Lin also has a feeling called 'sense of achievement'. It seems that this feeling is not caused by defeating a strong enemy, but after trying to accomplish something.

In addition to Lin, there are other creatures who are happy, that is, the head worm. It will make a sound of excitement about Lin's behavior. This kind of sound can be called "cheering".

However, there are still many problems in the way of communication between Lin and the head bug. It is impossible for Lin to show everything to the head bug, so that Lin does not understand the vocabulary of the head bug, and the head bug seems to understand the appearance of the Aztec bug. But Lin didn't know how to ask it.

Hmm...is 'inquiry' a new word? Lin found that after the communication, many words related to communication appeared in her mind.

However, Lin can only use a few words to communicate with the head bug now, and it is very difficult to communicate and understand further.

However, Lin thought of a new method, without taking anything back, she could tell the head worm. With this method, Lin could even show all the images in her mind in front of the head worm.

That's right, no need to bring the object back, just construct the image.

And that method of constructing the image is...

Pigment cells!

By combining the changes of various pigment cells, Lin can not only change color, but also compose various images, and even restore 100% of any scene.

Lin thought about it, and soon combined a new type of soldier called 'Shower'. This type of soldier's cortex contains rich pigment cells, and its body shape is flat. It only needs to be clawed on the wall of the cave. I can fully see the image for the head bug.

Lin let the head worm stay in this room and watch the displayer on the cave wall, and at the same time, the displayer himself began to adjust the pigment cells to display the image.

Lin changed the pigment cells and first displayed a picture of a beetle on the cortex of the displayer. It seemed that there was a problem with the light at first, so Lin mixed some luminous cells in it.

When the head worm saw this scene, there was a sudden emotion of surprise. It seemed as if it had reached the real area. Lin was also a little surprised. Lin knew that only the right combination was needed, and the pigment cells could fully display the real scene, but no Think it works so well.

The head worm seemed to think that what appeared there was real. When Lin showed some images of carnivorous arthropods, it rolled back and ran away in fright, but after a few laps, it rolled back.

The head worm seems to already know that this is not real, but a scene made by pigment cells. It really is a creature with a huge head, and it understands very quickly.

Lin showed the head bug a lot of images, which added more vocabulary to it, and in the process of looking at it, the head bug suddenly started to make strange movements, it bit a small sharp stone with its mouth, Scratched to the ground.

Lin found that it used stones to draw traces on the ground, and when these traces were combined, it looked like an image, but it was much simpler, but Lin still understood it, the head worm marked its own on the ground. In the same way, several arthropods were drawn out.

It turns out that it is intended to use pictures to communicate with each other directly? (To be continued...)
