Kapitel 145: Chapter 144
The Deepsand Bus … … had no brain.
Or rather, this creature did not have any brain-like organs. Lin's penetrator had searched every organ in its body, but found no such thing as a brain.
However, at the root of the forelimb, there were two organs similar to ganglia. It was a rather primitive structure and relatively small. However, the body of the Deep Sand Bus was filled with complex muscles and a large number of cells and organs. Would the ganglia be enough?
Moreover, the Deepsand Bus was a rather intelligent creature. It hunted skillfully and could hide in the sand at the right time, trying its best to avoid injury. This was not something a creature with only one ganglion-like organ could do.
Lin also noticed that the Deep Sand Bus itself wasn't a normal creature. There was a large hollow space inside its body where many of its organs and muscles had been squashed to one side. Even so, it was still able to exert great strength and speed, which was quite abnormal.
Moreover, it did not even have a brain, making it difficult to install a Brainreader. Lin discovered that the nerves that controlled its body were not necessarily connected to the ganglion-like organs in its forelimbs.
Although she did not know where the secrets of its body structure lay, Lin suddenly thought of a possibility regarding the brain.
Cerebrate. Among the Aztecs, there were Cerebrate troops.
Since that was the case, she had to investigate.
"Coo … …" The Deepsand Bus that was lying on the floating green carpet slowly woke up. It had entered a state of unconsciousness due to flying too high. It was not only because of its fear of heights, but also because it was not used to the high altitude temperature and the lack of oxygen.
Now, it seemed to have adapted to its current state. It began to wriggle its body and struggle to get up. It then ran towards the edge of the green carpet.
Did it not know that it was high up in the sky? Lin ordered Bechymos to stop it, but it was too late.
The Deepsand Bus ran extremely quickly and rushed out of the edge of the green carpet. Then … …
Lin could only hear a fearful shriek, which quickly faded away. After a short while, some of the troops in the Glittering Woodland below heard another series of violent explosions, as if several gigantic creatures were crashing into each other.
The Deepsand Bus smashed a huge crater in the Aztecs. The Deepsand Bus at the centre of the crater had become a pile of meat paste mixed with fragments of its carapace.
'I should've pulled it back earlier …' But it didn't matter. Lin had already examined every single part of the Deepsand Bus's internal structure without missing a single part. This creature was indeed a wondrous creature, but due to its enormous size and unique habits, it was very difficult to keep it for research. Also, if one only studied one of the branching creatures, it would be impossible to understand their group.
If there was a chance, he would have to take a look at the Aztec worms. If the Aztec worms also had brains, wouldn't it be possible for them to communicate?
Lin used some collectors to recover the Deepsand Bus that had been reduced to meat paste. Finally, we did some research on its shell.
Every scale on the back of the Deep Sand Bus could be opened to release the Aztec worms from its body. It was like a military outpost. What was special about the Aztec worms was their carapace, which was made up of a mixture of different kinds of crustaceans. Lin even found a crystalline component in it.
The combination of various ingredients made the shell of the Deep Sand Bus sturdy and smooth. That was why it was able to travel under the desert. This new synthesis formula was worth studying.
After studying the shells, Lin's research on the Deepsand Bus came to a temporary halt.
It wouldn't be easy for Lin to catch a new Deepsand Bus, so she decided to look for the Aztec worms. However, there were still many things to study in the Twisted Jungle.
A part of Lin's evolution was based on her own imagination, but another part of it was based on her observation of other living creatures. Even the simplest living creature could hide a miracle of evolution.
Now, Lin's main research was' seasons'. Lin found that the word 'seasons' in her mind represented different climates and environments. In different places, creatures would undergo different changes.
After winter, it was' spring '.
During spring, creatures would begin to reproduce. This seemed to be the theme of biological evolution. Lin relied on constantly combining new structures, and they relied on combining the characteristics of both sexes to create new structures.
This was a very interesting research project. Almost all creatures had evolved the characteristic of 'gender'. It could be said that it was a common point among all creatures.
Recently, many creatures began to grow explosively. In the forest where ice and snow slowly melted, plants and animals woke up together. In a situation where food and water were abundant, reproduction became their main theme.
Creatures on land began to gather together. Next to the base in the Dark Plains, there was a large group of beetles. The males of these beetles were fighting with each other. In order to fight, they evolved huge horns on top of their heads to clash with each other. The females, on the other hand, were more idle, usually watching from the sidelines and waiting for the strongest to appear.
Males usually had to fight a fierce battle. Even if they were the strongest, they might be defeated very quickly. However, it was also very troublesome for females to lay eggs later on. They needed to dig caves and prevent predators from attacking their nests and young. In general, no matter if it was a male or a female, it didn't seem to be easy for them. However, their forms were already different. The female's horns were shorter and more like a shovel, suitable for digging caves.
But Lin also discovered a special species of arthropods called 'flies'. The males of these arthropods changed their fighting style to posing in strange ways to attract females. Whoever posed better would obtain the right to reproduce.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know how this strange method evolved. Perhaps it was to prevent unnecessary injuries during fighting. But if that was the case … would it really help them become stronger?
However, many creatures relied on fighting to reproduce, which helped them to continuously evolve. Recently, Lin had been observing the nearby creatures to see if their young would undergo any unusual changes. Sometimes, they would even undergo a completely new transformation.
Lin also discovered that some creatures began to stop laying eggs. For example, a special type of reptile called 'Knife Lizard'. Because the eggs they laid were easily attacked, they began to let the eggs hatch directly in their bodies. This was more advantageous.
Meanwhile, some creatures still had the habit of dying after laying eggs. Although their corpses could provide a rich source of food for the surrounding creatures, Lin didn't understand the meaning behind this …
Plants usually relied on water or wind to transmit their reproductive cells. Because they couldn't move, there were a lot of problems, but they seemed to have overcome these problems.
The behavior of these creatures caused their appearance to slowly change. This was how they continued to evolve into all kinds of different creatures.
A long time ago, Lin had considered whether or not she should create a similar structure, but even now, she hadn't put it into practice. Lin's current method of evolution was still the fastest, but Lin also enjoyed watching how other creatures evolved. It was very interesting.
Lin had also been researching the Vine Fern. In the end, a few Crushers had to dig down to a depth of about 20 meters before they saw the end of the Vine Fern's roots. Furthermore, there was a large amount of water gathered in the sand, but there wasn't any other special substance. It seemed that the Vine Fern truly relied on water to grow.
Later on, Lin discovered that the Vine Fern's seeds were actually only about 1 meter below the surface of the sand. They began to grow as soon as they received the water. Lin found a few seeds that hadn't been able to hatch because they were blocked by their own kind, and after experimenting with them in Lin's base, they quickly grew.
The Vine Fern's circulatory system was quite fast, capable of using a large amount of water to rapidly produce nutrients, which could rapidly grow under sufficient light. According to their growth pattern, Lin had created a new type of green carpet. This green carpet was capable of rapidly converting nutrients into nutrients, allowing it to grow much faster than before, capable of quickly covering a large area.
However, there was no need to use this green carpet for now, but Lin had a feeling that this' Explosively Increasing Green Carpet 'would come in handy sooner or later.
The brain worm's brain cells had slowly awakened, and it had also begun to command the colony to reproduce. Although normal foot soldiers had a gender, they didn't have the ability to reproduce, which seemed to have degenerated during the division of labor. On the other hand, even though the brain worm was a female, it wasn't in charge of reproduction, as the queen was in charge of reproduction.
Lin used the monitor to show the brain worm the situation of winter, as well as the explosively increasing number of Vine Ferns, as well as the various creatures in the forest. At first, Lin wanted to see if the brain worm had any special information, but the brain worm was extremely curious, as if it had never seen such a scene before.
The brain worm excitedly asked Lin about the situation of winter, which wasn't strange at all. After all, the brain worm would enter a state of hibernation as winter approached.
Lin also asked the brain worm about the seasons. The brain worm also had the term 'seasons', and it explained that winter usually lasted for about 400 days and nights, but the situation was different every time, so it wasn't easy to draw a conclusion. After winter ended, spring would last for about 100 days and nights, and this calculation was mainly related to the consumption of water from melting ice and snow.
After spring ended, it would be summer. When Lin first set foot on the Northern Continent, it was already summer here. Summer was the hottest season, but it didn't affect the Twisted Jungle that much.
The brain worm explained that the 'Moon' would appear between spring and summer, and that strange things would happen at that time.
Lin had already heard about the 'Moon' many times, so she was looking forward to it.
Finally, Lin showed the brain worm the scene of the Deep Sand Bus appearing among the Vine Ferns. The brain worm replied: 「 It's not hunting, it's exploring, then attacking and slaughtering. It's coming, Aztec, the end of winter, abundant food, a huge army, it will attack, destroy, and die. 」 If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation.
