Chapter 90 Origin and Recovery
I have done some research on the 'Death Spike'. These plants are indeed planted here by the Inca swarm. The roots of the plants have been excavated. The 'Death Spike' is not hard and should not be used to guard against foreign enemies. Yes, but it can prevent all kinds of creatures in the jungle from leaving. This may be one of the reasons why the rocky land is so barren. If a base is established here, it will be too conspicuous and will attract the attention of the Inca swarm.
But Lin can put down a lot of observation eyeballs to pay attention to what special movements this 'border' Inca swarm will have.
Leviathan will now return to the base of the home tree, and Lynn will continue to build the environment and continue to observe the Inca Swarm.
This kind of creature is indeed very valuable for observation. Lin mainly evolved by learning other creatures. Lin was very curious about how they were born. Lin has seen the evolution of many creatures, but Lin used to be in the ocean to the whole world. It's really small, so it's not surprising that there are many creatures that Lin has never seen at all, but, for those creatures that have never been seen, can't you tell where they evolved?
Not necessarily.
Lin was inspired by the excavation site of the Inca swarm. In the excavation site, Lin found that there are many transitional species between biological evolution, and the species at each evolutionary stage are located in different locations, so Lin can also dig, to find the ancestors of some creatures.
Although Lin cannot dig in the site of the Inca swarm now, Lin can also speculate under what circumstances the Inca swarm, the Aztec swarm or the Mayan swarm was born.
The initial situation of 'division-type' organisms should be larval differentiation, and in some social organisms, their larvae and adults live together. These creatures are discovered slowly. Juveniles can do things that adults cannot. Like getting into some crevices to find food or something.
So they began to keep a certain number of larvae in the community to maintain their function, but the larvae would grow up sooner or later, so this process was gradually strengthened and evolved, and at this time, this kind of creature even specially produced a kind of long-term growth. Large larvae help the colony, which is probably the basis of the 'division of labor'.
Then the division of labor gradually appeared, and it is also possible that an individual in the group encountered a certain situation that caused changes in its cells. These changed individuals reproduce with the original unchanged individuals, and because the changed individuals and the original individuals have different functions, they are both preserved and dealt with in various situations.
The process between this is very peculiar, just like the emergence of male and female species. At first, it just divides, then it becomes a combined cell, and then it becomes the 'male' side that only provides cells, and the 'female' side is responsible for combining cells. and production, obviously. The difference between males and females means that all kinds of creatures can create different 'division of labor' individuals, but creatures like the Inca Swarm. Their division of labor is more detailed.
From this process,
Lin can also figure out how the 'Headworm' was born. It's actually very simple. For example, when fighting, it can't rush up to the whole nest. There will always be a few individuals who can't squeeze in behind, and then These individuals will observe the entire battle situation from behind, and the heads of these 'bystanders' individuals will receive more information, causing brain cells to evolve, and they will become more capable of thinking than other individuals.
Then this special ability is also retained, and gradually, such individuals who specialize in 'watching' will appear in this community. They are distinguished from other individuals who are good at fighting, and they are also responsible for seeing the All kinds of information are transmitted to other individuals, so they have a strong ability to transmit information, and in the end they are simply commanded directly by them.
This kind of differentiation is very interesting. Ordinary organisms aggregate the abilities of males and females on their young, while division-type species develop various abilities separately, making them extremely powerful.
In fact, the division of labor species is very rare, but once the evolution is successful, it will continue to grow stronger like an explosion. Lin has seen primitive division of labor species 100 million years ago.
That species is called by Lin... the Legion Ball, which Lin met during a landing. This is an event that is easily forgotten, but it is also very simple to think about it in retrospect. The Legion Ball uses the parent body as a 'transport carrier' and releases it The larvae to attack, Legion Balls or creatures similar to Legion Balls, are the ancestors of these swarms that Lin has seen.
Studying the evolution of other organisms is equivalent to Lin's own evolution. Lin is very interested in the evolution of various organisms.
If there is no research, then there will be no progress. Lin has not seen the complete Mayan population of the head worm, so it is unclear, but the Aztec worm's life style of killing everything must be difficult to make any progress. Their race It gets to a point where it becomes difficult to evolve.
On the other hand, the Inca swarms may have excavated fossils to study fish, and they may try to resurrect fish, or they may be looking for their advantages.
In short, the Inca swarm is obviously the most powerful swarm and needs to be handled with care.
But in addition to observing the present, you must also imagine the future. When Lin saw the Legion Ball, Lin never thought that it might evolve into such a powerful species.
Lin slowly built various things near the rock base. Lin originally wanted to make the vine ferns explode, and then create a lot of soil or something, because the basic components of soil are the corpses of plants and animals, but Lin It was found that the arabesque fern does not grow in contact with water, and it may also have something to do with the temperature, so Lin had to slowly wait for the twisted tree to grow. Before that, Lin will use a green blanket umbrella to place it on most of the rocks area for nutrients.
None of this is close to the borderline of Death Spike, so the Inca swarm did not find that Lin was also starting to build a base underground, and probably did not find it.
Just like Lin had detection methods that the Inca swarm did not notice, the Inca swarm may also have detection methods that Lin did not notice. Maybe a certain creature on the rocky ground is one of the Inca swarm's troops.
Of course, Lin won't kill them all out of suspicion, Lin is just making the brain hunters pay attention to every move of the Inca swarm.
Time passed slowly, and it was mid-spring, and the troops of the Inca swarm had gathered quite a lot. These troops gathered in the trees of the home tree in large numbers, but Lin had not found any special movements from them so far.
During this period, the head worms on the land also became more and more prosperous. The head worms established more than ten rocky mountains, and successfully reproduced another kind of troops besides the 'infantry'.
This type of soldier is called corn, which is the pronunciation of the head bug. Lin found that this type of soldier is used to grow plants. They will plant the seeds of a fern, and then collect the leaves of twisted trees and chew them up as nutrients. Sprinkle on the ground to nourish ferns.
It feels quite ordinary, but it also symbolizes the recovery of the Mayan ethnic group.
In addition, the head worm once again told Lin that the moon is coming and needs to be prepared.
In fact, the head worm didn't know how to prepare, so Lin planned to do all kinds of preparations, but the most important thing at present was to deal with the Inca swarm.
Lin dug the passage from the mountain to the ground wider, and gathered many troops, including Behemoths, to the location of the mountain. They transported nutrients to the base below and prepared Inca worms. Preparations for a swarm of lava attacks.
The destruction of the Mayan group should have been done by the Inca swarms, but Lin was very curious about how they made the lava. So far, there has been no relevant discovery.
In addition, Lin also conducted some research on Aztec insects. Lin released a large number of fliers to search for traces of Aztec insects in the desert. Those insects that escaped could not disappear. Sure enough, Lin was looking for traces of Aztec insects. After a few days and nights, it was found that a large number of Aztecs gathered in an open space in the desert. They seemed to like this place, including a large number of Aztecs and a deep sand bus. In order to study them, Lin Jean The flyer created a shapeshifter and invaded the body of the deep sand bus.
The shapeshifter found an egg in the deep sand bus. This egg is located in the deep sand bus body closest to the brain. Lin knows what it is. A new leader is about to be born.
Division-type creatures are also very good. Generally, it is difficult for biological brain damage to recover, but even if their "brain" dies, the units will maintain a certain basic level of intelligence and try to reproduce new brains.
This egg had a crack in about a day and a night, and the creature crawled out. Its appearance and size are very similar to Montezuma, but it should be only the surface. It may not have any knowledge when it was born, because the memory in the 'brain' is Looks that cannot be passed on through reproduction, but apparently they have other ways of passing on knowledge.
This 'Montezuma II' climbed to the center of the deep sand bus immediately after birth, and Lin found a small ball there. Zuma left part of his memory in the ball and passed it on to his descendants.
This method is very powerful, the Aztecs may make a comeback, but Lin has no interest in paying attention to them now, but in order to prevent any problems, Lin asked the shapeshifter to climb the body of Montezuma II, quietly in its The scars were made on the joints, and then drilled into its body and parasitized near its brain.
If there is any situation, Lin can kill it directly, and then destroy its entire clan when the next generation leader is produced in the deep sand bus.
But Lin's main focus now is the underground, so I'll leave it alone for now.
Lin is slowly expanding the territorial scope of the underground rocky ground, and has created a new breed of breeding pods. This breeding pod looks like a stone and is not easy to find. They are all over the rocky ground, and there are also forts nearby. .
These preparations were not in vain in the end. Lin finally observed that the large army of the Inca swarm began to move... (To be continued...)
