Chapter 38 Unknown Things

New creatures, unknown creatures...

Looking at the sky with scattered snowflakes, Lin was thinking about what happened before...

The Inca Swarm has encountered some fantastic creatures and fought them, and some of the Inca Swarm's troops seem to have left, but others have fallen.

And the group of creatures they encountered also left behind a strange 'meat', which Lin had seen before, without any cellular structure but composed of cellular components.

In fact, Lin couldn't confirm whether it had any connection with those creatures.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that these creatures may not be active on the ground. They should be a similar species to atmospheric slimes. Although they are different in shape, they are very similar in appearance. They all have the characteristics of being light and transparent.

This feature means that they can move in the air, and they may be completely uncommon biological species. Generally speaking, whether it is arthropods or vertebrates, they start from worms.

And this kind of creature... Lin thinks it's not like that. Lin wants to study this kind of creature, but it's not easy to find them. The brain's search in the air has been fruitless.

Now that the world has been blocked by ice, even if there are any creatures, it is difficult to find them. They may all die or escape.

But...Lin feels that if you study this kind of creature, they may be very different from the common creatures now. This kind of creature is a kind of creature that stays in the air for a long time, and it is very different from marine and terrestrial creatures. the difference.

But this was decades ago, there is no way to track it, and the Inca swarm doesn't know how it is now... Maybe it went to another continent.

Then. This thing is over. There are no clues to follow.

The Orb of Record of the Att Race was affected by brain waves. Some parts of the battle are not clear, but Lin thinks it's the same whether you see it or not, and it's impossible to figure out where they are now anyway...

This record ball is very special and should be called a 'memory ball'. The brain inside is specially used for memory. At that time, it was not this ball that observed the battle of the Inca swarm, but a small bug. , they are scattered in the jungle. Observe from multiple angles and record the battle situation.

Therefore, Lin can also see the rich memory environment from multiple angles in the dream. These bugs should be the troops of the Att tribe. After recording, they input the information they see into the memory ball...

Lin still doesn't know what Li Xie is doing with this ball.

They just bury it in the ground and don't do anything... and they never mention the ball in their daily chat.

This feeling was really strange, and after that, Lin tried to use 'spy' to communicate with them, but soon the spy was discovered.

It's not that they felt the difference in this spy, but Li Scorpion found that the spy was an extra Li Scorpion.

It seems that every scorpion is very aware of the number of scorpions in the colony and even the personality of the individual. They feel that the scorpion of 'spy' is very strange. Doubt where the spies came from.

Therefore, Lin used another method. Use miniature troops to enter the body of a standing scorpion, and then contact its brain nerve lines in the previous way, and then control its body movements.

However, the current method is somewhat upgraded than the previous one. Now it can be controlled without cutting off the nerve cord, so the controlled person will not be disabled.

Lin later found out that this group of scorpions planned to dig this ball for 'inheritance'.

The young of the scorpion will not inherit the memory, but with this thing, there is a way. They don't have to waste their energy to teach the young, but can get all the knowledge in an instant.

Indeed, how to pass all the existing knowledge to future generations is a big problem, and this method is very good, because this process is very troublesome, and after rapid learning, there will be no delay in growth.

In this regard, the ancient squid and the skeleton dragon are also doing a good job. They let the cubs move freely and observe other older ones to learn, so that their intelligence can be stimulated during learning.

Now the scorpions still live safely on the island, and most of the brain-creators are caught by them, and then they are asked where the treasure is hidden.

There are not only flying scorpions here, but also some other species of scorpions and even scorpion worms. It seems that scorpions want to use the recording ball to transform into various forms to adapt to the surrounding cold environment to capture more prey.

Li scorpions of different forms will also chat with each other, and there is no gap between them, as if everyone looks the same.

Lin can call them 'species of pseudo-division of labor'.

As for the brain-creators, it seems that they cannot be deformed with the recording balls, but they still cherish the appearance of these 'treasures'. The detailed reasons are not clear. They may still inherit the will of the master brain...to protect these balls.

It can be seen here that the brain-creator is a creature with no 'prospect', while the scorpion is constantly working hard for its future.

In addition to the scorpion and the brain-creator, Lin also made some observations on the flying dragons. Lin also found them in other places. They seem to be flying very scattered, but almost all have their own way of life.

Shortly after this, a pom-pom had taken the record ball back to the head bug.

"Never use something stupid!" Lin originally thought that the head worm would say that, but the head worm didn't say anything. In fact, it didn't seem to have the energy to say it...

Because the rocky mountain it made was not completely warm, and the lack of food nearby, it had become relatively listless, and most of the troops had fallen asleep.

So, it will not refuse now, even from 'stupid things'.

Lin found that if the head worm asked the queen to absorb the 'information' in the recording ball, and then introduced it to the newborn larvae, the larvae could really produce some strange mutations.

There is a special organ in the recording ball to place the 'information cells', while the queen has an organ that is very suitable for absorbing these cells, and can accurately extract the information inside, so it seems... the head worm is indeed and the Att group. There is a connection...but since when did they separate?

However, the mutated larvae are not normal. The shape of the adult worms that hatched is very deformed. It seems that something is wrong, but this is only a preliminary test. test.

And Lin also made some careful observations on its mutation. This is mainly caused by some problems during cell division and reorganization. They may cause the adult worm to grow more limbs or abnormal body size and internal organs. As a result, the head worm More testing is required until one larval change is successful.

Lin mainly paid attention to the changes in the cells. Lin found that after the 'information' was extracted in the queen, it was transformed and injected into the larvae. The larvae absorbed it with a special organ, and then mutated.

The initial variation is only reflected in the skin of the larvae. It may be that the outer skin of the larvae will become harder, but there will be no major changes.

The biggest change is when the larvae dissolves itself into an adult after it has formed a cocoon.

This process is very wonderful. Obviously, Lin found that all living things rely on the information hidden in the nucleus, and rely on them to change themselves.

While Lin seems to be slightly different, the information in these cells does not seem to be that important to Lin.

But the head worm doesn't know how long it will take to transform into something useful, so it may need Lin's help... to live in the canyon...

Lin is still observing the changes in this world as usual.

Another year... The time has passed quickly, this cold is longer than the four hundred days and nights of winter in the North Continent, but there is no sign of turning back.

Lin found that another head worm, Amon, also left the island where it lived. It built a ship like a head worm very early on, but it didn't use this ship, but let it go. The troops stepped on the frozen sea.

Now, unlike the thin ice at the beginning, the ocean has been covered with a thick layer of ice, and even Lin's ark has been frozen by the sea, making it difficult to move.

Where will this Amon go? Lin didn't know what they were thinking, but she didn't pay any special attention.

There is very little snow on the mainland now. It seems that the moisture in the air has turned into ice crystals, but storms are still very common. The transparent shell on the canyon is often covered by various impurities from the storm. Now Lin What is often done is to clean up these impurities, so that the canyon maintains a bright environment.

Then it was to observe how the rare creatures in this world lived, and then, two years passed.

The head worm finally mutated a unit that emits warmth and light, and it is planning to use this unit to grow plants.

Although it didn't rely entirely on itself, it still managed to survive outside, unlike Monte III, who was still sleeping in that hole and gave his life to fate and Mao Yu.

Because some Maoyu also ran into the hole and slept with Monte III, it seems that most of the Maoyus began to choose to hibernate, and some remained active, but they could not be seen on the ground.

It is hard to see other creatures in this frozen world, and the creatures in the ocean are also very rare. Many coral reefs have disappeared, and creatures such as large sharks have also gone extinct. Only near hot springs There is biological aggregation.

After three years, the ocean has completely turned into land, and only the craters of meteorites can be seen on the endless ice crystals, and the world seems to be on the verge of collapse... (To be continued.. )
