Chapter 68: Evolution
[Xuannu: "Scan completed!"
"That's it!"
Chen Mulin immediately came to his senses.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with the structure of this cockroach lung!
According to the surface data, in addition to the strength of this lung, the function is almost the same as that of ordinary cockroaches.
But in the heart of this lung, it's different, with a space the size of an egg, surrounded by a membrane that is geometrically stronger than the entire lung.
According to data analysis, it is filled with compressed liquid oxygen, and it is conservatively estimated that the oxygen in it is enough for this cockroach to survive for a month.
"That's interesting!"
Chen Mulin made a copy of the information and uploaded it to the live broadcast room, and then said: "I have a bold idea for this lung!"
[Barrage: What do you want to do with this lung?]
[Barrage: I also have a bold idea, I don't know if to talk about it. 】
[Barrage: What kind of speculation, let's hear it.] 】
Chen Mulin said: "I think that Mars technology, that is, those oxygen tanks the size of No. 5 batteries, were developed through this lung!"
Chen Mulin used the tablet to find the X-ray of the cockroach lung, pointed to the black dot the size of an egg in the middle, and said: "Look at this black dot, according to the data, it is stored in compressed liquid oxygen. ”
"So I think the Martians' oxygen tank was developed through this!"
[Barrage: In this way, it seems really possible. 】
[Barrage: I thought what a bold idea, that's all?]
[Barrage: Oxygen can't appear out of thin air, the Martian atmosphere is so thin, and the oxygen content is even rarer, unless there is really a lot of oxygen under Mars. 】
"That's right, that's what I thought!"
Chen Mulin nodded and continued: "I think there is really a space under Mars, and the atmosphere in it may be comparable to that of the earth, and these cockroaches only need to store oxygen once on a regular basis to survive on the surface for a period of time." ”
He couldn't think of a better explanation than that.
I had already believed that there was space underground, and this time it was undoubtedly deepened.
So these cockroaches live in that kind of place, apparently because of the Martians, the underground space is the territory of the Martians, and they are driven out.
Thinking about it this way, the cockroach's nest may have a passage to the underground space.
After that, Chen Mulin returned to the kitchen, wanting to look again to see if there were any other finds.
This time, he set his sights on the stomach.
Cockroaches are omnivores with a wide range of foods, and they will eat anything they can chew on.
Of course, the cockroaches here are so big, and the possibility of eating only meat cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, some animal carcasses may be found in its stomach pouch that have not been completely digested.
Sure enough, after Chen Mulin opened its stomach pouch, many animal stumps were found inside, and some small ones were intact.
Some of them looked like rats, and some of them looked so weird that they couldn't think of any other words than hideous.
"Tsk, that's disgusting!"
Chen Mulin frowned, and his stomach pouch rolled for a while.
I've never seen anything so disgusting, it's more disgusting than just now.
Not to mention the green mucus, I've been used to it just now, and there are half-digested animal limbs in it, which is difficult to top.
In the past, when chickens were killed, at most, undigested corn feed and the like were turned out of the stomach, which could not be compared with animal stumps.
He resisted vomiting and picked up the mouse-like one to show the sailors.
"You see, I found a big rat in the cockroach's stomach. ”
[Barrage: This rat should weigh three pounds, right?]
[Barrage: You read it wrong, the anchor is not a mouse, but a unicorn!]
"Unicorns?"
Chen Mulin was confused when he saw the barrage, and no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't associate mice with unicorns.
"I said Lao Tie, are you kidding? In your mind, a unicorn looks like this?" said Chen Mulin, shaking the mouse in his hand.
[Barrage: Really, I don't believe it, look at the top of its head, there is a horn. 】
[Barrage: Really, I found out that there is a horn. 】
[Barrage: I really didn't find it if I didn't say it. 】
Chen Mulin was skeptical, and turned the mouse upside down to check.
"I'll go, it's really!"
The corner is only about a centimeter, and most of it is covered by hair, so it's hard to spot if you don't look closely.
Soon, this mouse was renamed by Chen Mulin and called the horned mouse.
Of course, this name has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among sailors.
They also said that when others find new species, new things and many things, they name them after their own names, and they want him to name them after themselves.
Putting the horned rat aside, Chen Mulin grabbed another animal that looked particularly hideous and showed it to them again.
On closer inspection, the hideous creature looked a bit like a hairless bat, covered in a black shell, with very large eyes that almost took up most of its head, and a pair of elongated fangs.
Like bats, it also has a pair of wings, which are very small and presumably degraded, after all, it cannot fly in the thin atmosphere of Mars.
Similarly, this thing was also given a cheesy name by Chen Mulin, the big-eyed bat.
As for those that have been bitten and most of them have been digested, Chen Mulin has not shown them again, and he can't see why.
It can be seen that these big cockroaches have a fairly high status in the food chain.
After a brief wash of the animals that had been taken out of the stomach pouch, they were all sent for scanning.
Similarly, these animals all have a space in their lungs to store oxygen.
It seems that all Martian creatures have a urine nature, and they have all evolved this ability.
Chen Mulin touched his chin and began to think.
Since the animals of Mars have evolved this thing, then the Martians must have also evolved.
If so, why did the Martians design tents with oxygen tanks?
Is it just to be able to make a fire?
It's ridiculous, no doubt.
When you think about it, the Martians may not have evolved.
According to the speculation of scientists on Earth, Mars may have existed in the equivalent atmosphere of the Earth in ancient times.
In this way, Martians lived on the surface of Mars in ancient times, and for some reason the Martian atmosphere became thin and full of carbon dioxide, and Martians were forced to move underground.
For some reason, there was plenty of oxygen underground, and they drove most of the animals out, causing the animals to evolve while they remained the same.
As for why the fire is lit, it may be a kind of faith, after all, there are so many religious people on the earth, and it is not surprising that the Martians have their own beliefs.
I really can't think of anything other than that.
Judging from the Martian technology discovered so far, if they can't use technology to cook and heat, he doesn't believe it.
