Chapter 68 Spring Theme
The deep sand bus... has no brains.
In other words, this creature does not have a brain-like organ, and Lin's penetrator has searched every organ in its body, but has not found a brain thing.
However, at the roots of the forelimbs, there are ganglion-like organs, two in total, which are quite primitive structures and are quite small, but the deep sand bus is full of complex muscles and a large number of cells and organs. Are ganglia enough?
And the deep sand bus is quite a smart creature. It is very skillful in hunting. It can hide in the sand at the right time and try its best to avoid injury to itself. This is not something that a creature with only one ganglion can do...
Lin also found that the deep sand bus itself is not a normal creature. It has a huge hollow space in its body, and many organs and muscles have been squeezed to one side, but even so, it can still exert great strength and speed. It feels quite abnormal.
And it doesn't even have a brain, so it's difficult to install a brain reader, because Lin found that the nerve lines that control the body are not necessarily connected to the ganglia of the forelimbs...
Although I don't know where the secret of its body structure is, but about the brain, Lin suddenly thought of a possibility...
The head worm, among the Aztec worms, there are such types of troops as the head worm.
In that case, it must be investigated.
"Gu..." The Shensha bus lying on the floating green carpet slowly woke up. It had entered a coma because it flew too high before, not only because of fear of heights, but also because of high altitudes. Temperature incompatibility, and less oxygen.
Now it seems to be getting used to it. He started to twist his body and struggled to get up. And ran to the edge of the green carpet.
Doesn't it know it's high in the sky? Lin asked Bechymos to stop it, but it was too late.
The Shensha bus ran extremely fast, and rushed out of the edge of the green carpet, and then...
Lin only heard a scream of fear, which soon disappeared. After a while, Lin's troops in the Glittering Woodland below heard a violent roar again, as if some kind of giant was interacting with each other. Normal hit.
The Deep Sand Bus smashed a huge pothole above the Glitterwood. And the deep sand bus in the center of the pothole has become a meat sauce mixed with a pile of carapace fragments.
I should have pulled it just now... but it doesn't matter, Lin has seen almost every structure in the Shensha bus body,
There is no missing part, this creature is very wonderful, but because it is too large and has special habits, it is difficult to keep a living body for continuous research. And for the 'division of labor' creatures, if you only study one of them, you will not be able to understand their group.
If you have a chance, you have to go and see the Aztecs again. If the Aztecs also have head worms, is there a possibility of communication?
Lin used some collectors to completely recycle the deep sand bus that turned into meat sauce. Finally did some research on its carapace
Every scale on the back of the deep sand bus can be opened, so that the Aztec worms in the body can be released, just like a troop port, and the Aztec worm is especially its carapace, which is made of A mixture of various chitins. Lin even found the ingredients of crystals in it.
The combination of various ingredients makes the deep sand bus's carapace firm and smooth. Therefore, it can travel under the desert, and this new chitin synthesis formula is worth learning by Lin.
After studying the crustal matter, Lin's research on the deep sand bus came to an end temporarily.
It might not be easy for Lin to catch the new deep sand bus, so go straight to the Aztecs, but there are still a lot of things to study in the Twisted Jungle.
Lin's evolution is partly dependent on her own imagination, but partly by observing other creatures. Even the simplest creatures may hide the miracle of evolution.
Now, Lin's main research is 'seasons'. Lin found that the word seasons in her mind represents different climates and different environments. In different places, creatures will have different changes.
After winter, it's "spring".
In the spring, all creatures begin to reproduce, which seems to be the theme of biological evolution. Lin relied on constantly combining new structures, and they relied on combining the characteristics of males and females to change new structures.
This is a very interesting research project. Almost all organisms have evolved the characteristic of 'sex', which can be said to be the common denominator of all organisms.
Recently, many organisms have begun to grow explosively. In the jungle where the ice and snow are slowly melting, plants and various animals have woken up together. Under the circumstance that food and water sources are extremely abundant, reproduction has become their theme.
Creatures on the land began to gather together. Next to the base of the Darkness, a large group of beetles gathered. Their males fought with each other. In order to fight, they evolved huge sharp horns on the top of their heads to collide with each other. Females are more idle, usually staying by the side, waiting for the strongest to appear.
Males usually have a tough fight, and if they become the strongest, they can be defeated quickly, but females are also troublesome later to lay their eggs, they need to dig burrows and prevent predators from attacking their nests and young, always. In general, neither male nor female seems to be easy, but their shapes are different. Females have shorter horns and shovel-like horns, which are suitable for digging caves.
But Lynn also discovered a special kind of arthropod called 'fly'. Their males changed the fight to some strange poses to attract females. Whoever poses better will get the right to reproduce.
I don't know how this strange method evolved. It may be to avoid unnecessary damage during battles, but in this case... does it really help to become stronger?
However, many creatures reproduce by fighting, which helps to keep evolving. Lynn has been observing nearby creatures recently, and noticing what unusual changes will occur in their young, and sometimes they will even change. There are brand new changes.
Lin also found that some creatures started not laying eggs, such as a special reptile 'Dagger Lizard', because the eggs produced were vulnerable to attack, so they began to directly let the eggs hatch in the body, which is more beneficial.
And some creatures are still popular with the setting that the females will die after laying eggs. Although their corpses can provide abundant food for the surrounding creatures, Lin really doesn't know what it means...
Plants usually rely on water or wind to transmit reproductive cells. Because they can't move, they have a lot of troubles, but they have overcome these troubles.
The behavior of these creatures causes their appearance to slowly change, and this is how they continue to evolve into a variety of different creatures.
Lin long ago considered whether she should assemble a similar structure, but it has not been implemented even now. Lin's current evolution method is still the fastest, but Lin also likes to see how other creatures evolve. very funny.
As for the vine fern, Lin was also studying it. In the end, several crushers dug to a depth of about 20 meters under the desert, only to see the root end of the vine fern, and there was a lot of water gathered in the sand, but nothing else. It seems that the arabesque fern really grows completely by water.
Later, Lin found that the seeds of the vine fern were only about one meter under the sand. It began to grow after receiving the information of moisture. Lin found some seeds that were blocked by the same kind and did not hatch. In Lin's base It grew quickly after the experiment.
The arabesque fern has a very fast circulatory system, and can use a lot of water to produce nutrients very quickly, and it can surge when the light is sufficient. According to their growth method, Lin has created a new type of green blanket. The blanket can quickly convert nutrients, grow much faster than before, and can quickly cover large areas.
However, there is no need to use this kind of green blanket right now, but Lin feels that this kind of 'surge green blanket' will be useful sooner or later.
The brain cells of the head worm have slowly woken up now, and the head worm has also begun to command a large number of reproductions in the colony. Although the general infantry has gender, it does not have the ability to reproduce. It seems that it has degenerated in the process of division of labor. In addition, , The head worm itself is female, but it is obviously not responsible for birth, and the production is the responsibility of the queen.
Lin used the displayer to show the head bug the winter situation, the surge of vine ferns, and various creatures in the jungle. Originally, Lin wanted to see what special information the head bug had, but the head bug was very curious. It looks like it has never seen these scenes before.
The headworm began to excitedly ask Lin about various conditions in winter, which is not surprising, after all, the headworm went into a deep sleep state when it approached the winter.
Lin also asked some head bugs about seasons. Head bugs also have the word season. It said that winter generally lasts for about 400 days and nights, but every time the situation is different, it is not suitable to draw conclusions. Lasting about a hundred days and nights, this calculation method is mainly about the consumption of water dissolved by ice and snow.
Spring is over, and summer is coming. When Lin first set foot on the North Continent, it was summer. Summer was the hottest season, but the Twisted Jungle would not be affected much.
The head worm said that the 'moon' will appear at the turn of spring and summer, and then strange things will happen.
About Yue, Lin had heard of it many times, and she became a little looking forward to it.
Finally, Lin showed the headworm about the sight of the deep sand bus appearing in the vine fern. To this, the headworm said: "It's not hunting, it's exploring, then attack, kill, it's coming, Aztec, winter is over , rich food, a huge army, it will attack, destroy, and die." (To be continued.
