Chapter 133 Purpose

The more you know, the more questions you have.

This is a very interesting phrase in the mind, and Lin also believes in this theory very much.

Lin looked at a series of statues. These statues seemed to illustrate the evolutionary history of the Inca swarm. It described a worm slowly evolving into a parasite, and then invaded the brains of other creatures, causing the creature to produce various mutations. Some organisms that became abnormal died, but some organisms with favorable mutations survived, and the worms used it to continue to hunt for themselves and obtain nutrients, and eventually the worms lived in groups and completely merged with the parasitized mutant host. , and they formed a whole new species.

This evolutionary approach, while fantastic, doesn't feel entirely impossible.

Lin has seen the impact of many parasites on the host. After they squeeze in, they do sometimes damage the host's cell division mechanism, causing the host to have an extra limb or something, or have some long-term effects. For example, the host will produce a lot of Immune cells attack parasites and even change the structure of the body, which will have a great impact on the future evolution of organisms.

It can be said that today's creatures have this appearance, and it has a lot to do with parasites and viruses.

However, the Inca swarms are more powerful. They directly affect the brains of creatures. Although the statues can't show it, Lin thinks that they may also release some information to interfere with the growth of creatures, causing the cell division of creatures to produce strange situations.

If a useless deformed mutation is generated, the host will die, and the worm will find the next target, generate a useful mutation, and the worm will continue to use this host.

It may take tens of thousands of parasites to have a useful mutation. But this is obviously not a problem.

In addition, the worm also controls the activities of the host through the brain and so on.

The worm at this time was very much like Lynn's brain reader. But the question is how do worms have these abilities? Statues describing the evolution of worms are actually incomplete. It only describes the growth of the worm's form step by step, but it does not describe how it knows how to parasitize into the brain, as if it suddenly knows how to control the brain...

Although Lin did not take a long time to create a brain reader, the evolution of other organisms is not the same as Lin, and the most important thing for them is the opportunity.

An accidental opportunity determines what changes will occur to the creature, rather than just thinking about it like Lynn.

How did this worm have the opportunity to parasitize into the brain? Maybe they were just ordinary parasites, and they got close to the brain by accident, anyway. This part of the Inca swarm research is incomplete.

The next route is clearer.

Worms should be able to tell which other organisms are being parasitized by the same species, and then they will live together and develop into full division of labor, which is a faster process than usual division of labor because they are different from the beginning.

In addition, Lin also found some other statues, which describe the process of changing some units of the Inca swarm, which is basically the transformation process of these ordinary creatures by parasitic worms beyond recognition.

It seems that the troops of the Inca swarm were obtained by parasitism from the beginning, but after that, they became the cell information of the target that was directly extracted by fat worms and then produced.

The 'fat worm' is not a parasitic army. It is a variation of the original worm, but there is no detailed process. The statue of the Inca swarm only describes the gradual change of their form. However, since the original parasitic ability and influence ability are so strong, it is not surprising to have this ability.

This is interesting and a very special way of evolution, but how did the Inca swarm discover its own evolutionary history? Lin believes that their brains began to develop at a relatively late stage, which means that the Inca swarms may have discovered their own history by digging fossils and so on.

Although fossils cannot be known in such detail, they also have ways to extract cellular information to help, and it is not difficult to study their own evolutionary history.

But the Inca swarm has a problem.

They don't have 'brain worms'.

Although they have a division of labor, they do not have any kind of arms that symbolize the existence of a brain. Each combat and non-combat arm of the Inca swarm has a certain degree of thinking ability. Speaking of a single unit, the intelligence is much worse than the Montezuma of the Aztecs, but as a whole, their intelligence is even higher than the Mayan group of the head worm.

This is a peculiar phenomenon, and although their arms have brains, they can cooperate perfectly, and they don't need any command or the like, and they can also transmit information to each other.

And they are obviously very thoughtful, like to record their research, and also make various statues.

At the time of the war, the ideas they showed were also very interesting, just like now, Lin didn't know why they ran into the tunnel in this huge pit, nor why they showed these things to Lin.

Generally speaking, you should not show your affairs to hostile creatures, this will only give the opponent a way to defeat yourself.

If it was Lin, all these research records would be destroyed before the enemy army came in, and the other party would not know any information about him.

However, Lin doubts whether the Inca swarm has ever come here. Almost none of the Inca swarms have the ability to live underwater. Their breathing structure cannot live underwater. It is estimated that they have been out of the water for a long time, so they are catching fish. Will make a net made of silk to fish, rather than just grab it.

'Guru...'

Lin heard a certain sound, a large creature was swimming.

There are some creatures here, but they're all snails and small trilobites.

The sound detective made a small sound, and the sound's detection power under water was much stronger than that on land, and Lin instantly knew the shape of this creature.

Is this... a creature that Lin knows? And it is actually one of the troops of the Inca swarm.

This is a shadow monster.

According to the observation of the statue, the shadow monsters come from a kind of fish, and they are indeed one of the few species with underwater life in the Inca swarm.

Lin only found one shadow monster, did they think they could defeat Lin's hundreds of sound scouts by this alone?

And this shadow monster actually didn't hide, but swam directly to the sound detectives.

It seems that it has no intention of attacking?

"Gah..."

Just when Lin was puzzled, the shadow monsters suddenly made a sound, and this time Lin actually found out that they used the vocabulary of the head bug.

It seemed that she had just learned it, and her pronunciation was weird and intermittent, but Lin could still hear it clearly.

The shadow monster's word is: "We, leave." (To be continued...)
