Chapter 930: Latent
The Acadia Star was much smaller than Chu Tianjiang had imagined, at least compared to the home planet of the second home of human civilization, it was indeed much smaller.
In the orbit of this planet, there are no space cities, and all the Acadians live in the atmosphere.
Because of the sunlight received from the two stars, the plants on the planet appear pale yellow instead of green, which is also the favorite color of the Acadians. In fact, before the qualitative process, the Arcadians had pale yellow skin because it allowed them to absorb more sunlight.
The Acadians did not make their home planet qualitative, but retained its most primitive appearance.
The ocean covers a small area, about 50 percent, and the water is dark brown, a bit like a mud pool after rain. In addition to the light emitted by the stars, the ocean is also the effect of marine microorganisms, that is, those yellowish microorganisms coming together. Unlike Earth, Arcadia is surrounded by land, meaning that all oceans are actually lakes on land. Because the environment is very well protected, the land of Arcadia as a whole is the color of plants, that is, pale yellow. From above, the land looks like a huge desert, and the ocean is a quagmire in the desert.
All in all, with human aesthetics, Arcadia is not pretty.
Of course, the Acadians are completely different.
In physiognomy, the Arcadians are very similar to humans, with eyes, noses, mouths, and ears. The difference is that the Acadians had large eyes and ears, but small noses and mouths. This is also the result of natural evolution, that is, the Acadians have lived in the natural environment for a long time, and danger may come at any time, so they need extremely developed senses, and the requirements for vision and hearing are very high. The Acadians, who were less developed in vision and hearing, had long since been eliminated from the natural competition, and all that remained had big eyes and ears. Because there are pigment cells in the skin, which can produce oxygen through photosynthesis, the Acadians do not need to breathe normally, and only when the body needs a lot of oxygen during strenuous exercise, they will use the evolved lung lobes, which means that they need to breathe. By the same token, the digestive system of the Acadians was not very developed without the need to eat regularly. In addition, the Acadians communicate through consciousness, so their mouths are only used for eating, not for speaking.
The appearance of the Arcadians is very similar to that of the imaginary elves of mankind.
In terms of physical form, the Arcadians are not very different from humans.
In fact, from the aesthetic point of view of humans, the body form of the Arcadians is almost perfect, and the only thing that is lacking is the tail.
The Arcadians were able to evolve intelligence with two key watersheds. One is that their ancestors evolved from parasitic life, that is, limbs for walking. Second, after gaining the ability to walk, he gained the labor ability to create and use tools, that is, to liberate the upper limbs.
The latter is very similar to humans.
Although there have been some mutations in the evolutionary history of the Acadians, such as the appearance of individuals with more limbs, they have all been eliminated without exception. Too many limbs, apart from the consumption of nutrients, do not contribute much to labor, and to the development of the intellect through labor. For the Acadians, nutrients were the key to natural evolution, and only mutant individuals who made the most rational use of nutrients were able to survive the competition for survival. If nutrients are wasted, the result will only be obsolescence.
The point is, on a planet with a small ocean area, it is very difficult to get nutrients.
In fact, it is precisely on Acadia that the most advanced intelligence is not an animal, but a parasitic creature attached to a plant. The ancestors of the Acadians were able to obtain nutrients not only through photosynthesis, but also from their hosts. Because of this additional access to nutrients, the ancestors of the Acadians were able to survive in the harsh environment.
In contrast, both plants and animals have too many ways to obtain nutrients.
Of course, these characteristics also determine the physical form of the Arcadians.
The Arcadians needed only two legs to walk, and two arms to labor. In order to facilitate rapid movement in complex environments, the Arcadians had very slender legs, and later became one of the main aesthetics of the Acadians. In order to obtain more food and perform more complex labor in a complex environment, the Acadians also had extremely slender arms.
Obviously, this is also in line with human aesthetics.
Like humans, after entering the stage of self-evolution, the Arcadians retained their basic characteristics, only perfected them according to their own aesthetics.
It can be said that even the most discerning and discerning people will find the Acadians beautiful.
As long as you don't think about the huge tail, the Arcadians are indeed perfect in appearance and figure.
Of course, the current Acadian civilization is not what it used to be.
On Arcadia, there are many cities made up of mass-powered bodies suspended in the air. In fact, these cities are more like mountains suspended in the air. Most of the cities in the sky have the same shape, with a lot of plants on them, creating a favorite living environment for the Acadians.
The ground is still the world of the Acadians, but there are not many Arcadians living here, at least not in proportion.
In order to reproduce more offspring, the Acadians also changed their habits and developed from flat to three-dimensional.
All in all, this is a world full of wonders. From Chu Tianjiang's point of view, such a world realm only existed in novels before.
It's a fairyland-like place, except that the elves who live here don't have wings.
The Arcadians also didn't need wings, and the qualitative gave all Acadians the ability to fly and go directly to wherever they wanted.
After entering the atmosphere, Chu Tianjiang and Ali reduced their flight speed.
Along the way, the biggest feeling of the two of them was that the Acadians had been mobilized, and almost all of them were preparing for war.
Obviously, the war of expansion gave the Acadians a taste of sweetness.
Perhaps, the Acadians were not an aggressive civilization, but under the guidance of Valentine, they still embarked on the path of foreign expansion wars.
"Where are we going now?"
Chu Tianjiang glanced at Ali and pointed towards the nearest hill in the air.
"Where to go?" Arley was a little surprised.
"Even Valentine didn't know that we were here, and those Arcadians obviously couldn't have known who we were. There are twenty trillion Acadians in this star system, and all Acadians are not restricted from traveling, even if two unfamiliar faces suddenly appear, they will not be suspicious. ”
"It's just that it's too risky."
"Our task is to hide and wait for Valentine to arrive. Of course, we also have to confirm whether Valentine is in this star system. Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If we don't contact the other Arcadians, how do we know that Valentine is not here?" ”
"Perhaps, those Arcadians don't know Valentine at all."
"They at least know what's going on in the Dao, like whether their legions have begun to assemble."
Ali sighed, still a little uneasy.
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Wait, don't speak, communicate with consciousness." If we speak, the Arcadians will recognize us at a glance. ”
Ali nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"We've been on the road for months, and maybe war will break out soon. We must hurry up and find Valentine as soon as possible. Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, but told Ali through consciousness exchange. If Valentine hadn't been here, we couldn't afford to delay too much. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Think of yourself as an Acadian."
"This ......"
"We're Acadians now, so we're going to talk to the other Acadians and get news from them."
"How often did you do that?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled. "You know everything about me, and you know what I used to do. But when it comes to this kind of thing, it's not me who is the best at it. ”
Ali was stunned for a moment, and also laughed, of course she knew that the person who was best at Lu Dao was Zhang Xiaogang.
"Either way, don't let the Acadians discover who we really are. Wait, I'll do it, and you can just follow me. ”
Ali nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
On the way over, they found that the Arcadians did not communicate without communicating, but in a more special way, that is, any Acadians would release the message they wanted to express and let the other Acadians know the truth. If an Acadian is interested, he responds and communicates with him in both directions. If there are a few Acadians interested, there will be a multilateral exchange. Because it is an exchange of consciousness, there is no limit to the number of individuals who can participate. If an individual is unwilling to communicate, no other individual can force them to communicate. The key is whether or not you are interested in the messages sent by other individuals.
That is, sending out the message first is the basis on which the Acadians establish the exchange of consciousness.
As a result, many Acadians are releasing information that interests them, looking around for people who share the same interests.
As long as Chu Tianjiang and Ali remained silent, no one would notice them.
Of course, this is just the normal way of communication. In addition to this, there are some special ways to communicate.
