Chapter II

The self-pronounced name of the tea tree mushroom people is Diyukula, which can roughly be translated as favored by the gods: they stubbornly believe that Diyukula was able to become the ruler of the planet only because of a gaze from the gods hundreds of thousands of years ago.

A fungus and a plant that were originally at the bottom of the biological chain, plus some worms parasitic in the plant, the three have undergone a wonderful change at a certain point in time. And the history of the planet began from this moment into the era of Diyukula.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's incredible that this three-in-one life can come this far. ”

Sighing softly, Su Xing swiped his fingers and adjusted the direction where Shen Qi fell.

The god worshipped by the tea tree mushrooms is a rather peculiar being. Leaving aside how they have preserved this information over hundreds of thousands of years, it is a miracle that this race was able to understand the existence of God at the time of its birth.

"Do you think this is the result of interference by foreign civilizations?"

Su Xing was not very sure to ask, "This kind of mutation is even more exaggerated than the evolution process of human beings." According to records, it took them only a hundred years to evolve from a three-in-one parasitic life to their current form, and they have not changed much in the hundreds of thousands of years since. ”

He moved his fingers, and a large number of historical documents and pictures obtained from the tea tree mushrooms' database slowly flowed in front of the two of them.

"Obviously, during this time, no matter how the planet's environment changes, their deviation values from their species characteristics have always remained within a fairly stable range. ”

300,000 years ago, 200,000 years ago, 100,000 years ago, and 5,000 years ago, you can hardly find any noticeable difference between them.

"It's not scientific. ”

Su Xing spread his hands, "At least compared to humans, they are really too stable. ”

"What about the results of the genetic analysis?"

Feng Lixi was busy cooking noodles, but the strange color of the pot was really unsightly, and in comparison, the lamprey looking up at the starry sky pie could be regarded as a beautiful eyebrow.

She asked without looking back, and muttered to the recipe in her hand, "It's really strange, obviously I followed the steps above, why is it so different from the finished picture?"

"It hasn't come out yet," he stepped back a little, this terrifying biochemical weapon was really terrifying, just smelling the smell, made him clearly understand the fragility of the human body, "The genes of this creature, okay, let's call it that for the time being, are not the same type as human genes at all." Only half of them are carbon-based, and the other half I haven't found the right adjective to describe it yet. ”

"So, what about the conclusion?"

Expressionlessly pouring the failed pot into the vast space to destroy the corpse, Kamoriki reopened another cookbook, and she casually asked, "Don't tell me they're actually cyborgs." ”

"Almost," Su Xing broke out a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked at Feng Lixi from the ocean of the planet under his feet, its color was quite gorgeous dark purple, viscous like violet syrup, and he casually grabbed a slippery and round tentacle, and sliced it into seven thousand two hundred thin slices in a flash of the knife.

It's just that the vitality of this thing is so strong that it will regenerate itself when it is cut like this!

Turning his head away from looking at the bad picture that seriously affected his mood, Su Xing replied: "My personal opinion, the evolution process of this species is very likely to be affected by external forces, otherwise many problems cannot be explained. And we have been certain that this place is not infected by the Void, at least not before we came, so it is obvious that there is only one explanation. ”

"Indeed," she seemed a little annoyed, a bright glow visible to the naked eye dripping from her fingertips, and in a matter of seconds, the slices of unidentified creature flesh that had been cut into pieces had crossed what might normally take millions of years of evolution, stimulated by the sheer life force.

In the end, it turned into a fragrant cumin grilled squid ring.

"Can you determine that point in time?"

"According to their own records, combined with my archaeological work in the past few days," Su Xing blinked, "it was 410,000 years ago in the Kura calendar, and nothing can be done as to the location." After too long, many traces have disappeared cleanly. ”

"In that case, let me take a look. ”

Handing over a grilled squid ring, she ignored Su Xing's strange eyes and turned her head to look at the starry sky outside the observation station.

"Which direction? It doesn't matter, just look at it once!"

Her eyes were hazy for a moment, then cleared again, "Okay, I've found that guy!"

"How?"

"It's as simple as catching up with the light of 410,000 years ago. ”

Okay, Su Xing pouted, he can't do this kind of operation now, but Feng Lixi, some time ago, he could only look at the range of a hundred light years, and now he actually spends hundreds of thousands of light years with a rod, this span is too fast!

"You can do it very quickly, don't rush, just wait until you're more mature. ”

"What have you seen," not wanting to continue the egg-sore question, Su Xing asked instead, "Is there really anyone interfering with them?"

"Anyway," she looked a little strange, "it's not much to take the initiative to interfere, but there is no doubt that there is an external force to influence it." ”

She shared the history she saw with Su Xing.

That was a story from a long, long time ago.

At that time, the ancestors of human beings were still apes living in caves, and the home planet of tea tree mushrooms was still a living planet full of primitive atmosphere.

At least in the context of the evolution of life, there is miraculously not much difference between the two.

However, the change happened on that seemingly ordinary afternoon, when a meteor fell, and a whole new species rose.

"It's a biological culture chamber, and the level of technology is probably a little bit higher than that of Earth. ”

"It's probably the distance between the Mariana Trench and Mount Everest." ”

"Then the evolutionary tree of these tea tree mushrooms was locked up. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"At least as far as I can see, it's as simple as that. It was an accident that a culture pod of unknown origin affected them and directly led to the massive explosion of the species. This shows how dangerous littering is. She shrugged, a little helpless, "Life, it's such a fragile thing. ”

"In this way, do I have to thank humanity for not being hit by alien garbage in the process of evolution?"

"That's pretty much it. ”
