Chapter 852: The Way of Nature (6)

"Again......" D'Ambro shook his head.

"There is a predator and prey relationship between animals in nature," I said, "and we can call it the food chain ......"

D'Ambro's eyes lit up: "This statement is a bit interesting......"

"At the bottom of the food chain are plants, and the higher they go, the stronger they become, and in the end, nature is human, that is, intelligent creatures, and of course, you can also understand that the top of the food chain is actually a god," I ignored him, and continued, "What you see is that there is a problem in a certain link in this chain, and the sheep that should have been eaten actually rose up against the wolf, which has violated the laws of nature, right?" ”

"Interesting, but a little inappropriate," D'Ambro said, seeing that I didn't stop, so he stretched out his hand to listen to it, "for example, some predatory plants, and many animals are absorbed by plants after death and become nutrients, so the name of the food chain should be changed to the food cycle chain." ”

I said, "No, a few exceptions don't break the chain, and besides, animals decay when they die, they don't belong to predation, and there is a creature in the middle that you have never seen before, and this creature is called a microorganism, which you can't even see with the naked eye, and with their decomposition plants can absorb the carcass of animals...... These microorganisms are parasites of the soil. ”

D'Ambro visibly looked disbelieving again.

I said, "I'll show you microbes when I have the chance, but not now, and I won't force you to join us to see them, because sooner or later this thing will become more common among magicians...... Okay, back to the problem of the food chain, in fact, there is a more general way of dividing, that is, there are three kinds of organisms in nature, one is the producer led by plants, who is responsible for providing the lowest level of food, and then there are all kinds of animals, collectively called consumers, because they do not make food, but only transform the food made by the producer into the food of the higher animals in the food chain, as for the third type, which is the microorganism just mentioned, they are called decomposers...... In other words, this is a larger cycle in nature, a cycle of energy and elements, which includes nutrients after animals decay, as well as water, nutrients, air and even gravel soil. ”

"You don't have to say so much," D'Ambro seemed alarmed, "just to say that sheep are not afraid of wolves. ”

"Wouldn't it seem a bit limited to simply analyze one thing without analyzing the larger environmental factors and the context of the natural world as a whole?" I said, "In what I just said, wolves are higher in the food chain, but they all belong to consumers, that is, they have something in common, in the entire energy and element cycle in nature, in fact, it does not have much impact, after all, they will eventually return to the cycle, of course, if the sheep have a higher intelligence, maybe they will jump to a higher position in the food chain, or even stand at the top of the food chain like the intelligent race......"

Leo lamented, "It feels like I'm back in middle school biology class. ”

D'Ambro pondered for a moment before he said, "You still have your point of view, but your description of the natural cycle seems to be like that. ”

I smiled: "I said that this is not what I thought of, otherwise I would not have to summarize such a bunch of strange concepts, these are the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors, I just took them and used them." ”

"That's all you learned in Santas, right?" "That's the only place where there are so many bizarre arguments." ”

"Not exactly," I said, "and some from somewhere else, like my hometown, or some distant plane......

"Well, let's not dwell on that," said D'Ambro, "I'll ask you about the wolf and the sheep, or we can go and see for ourselves." ”

"Of course," I said, "I guess the sheep that have evolved intelligence have driven wolves to the point of vegetarian food, right?" Otherwise, they will have to migrate. ”

"There is such a tendency...... "but are you so sure until you see it with your own eyes?" ”

I said: "This is actually a law that can be inferred, in addition to the biological chain and energy cycle, I have also seen another theory, called the ecological niche, in fact, it is similar to what I said before, that is, to give a name to the position of the organism in the food chain, called the ecological niche, the ecological niche does not refer to a certain kind of organism, but a similar function of the organism, for example, the wolf and the sheep have their own ecological niche, if the creature in this position is extinct, there will be other organisms to replenish, for example, the wolf can not eat the sheep and is forced to leave, There will be new species that will become the natural enemies of the sheep, maintaining a new food chain and niche balance, and if the liger comes to replenish the niche, the sheep may still return to their original ecological niche, and if they are intelligent enough to deal with the liger, then this change will continue until I just said that they go higher up the food chain. ”

Dambi couldn't help but nod, and then said: "I have to say that the wisdom of these predecessors is still very far-sighted, but do you think it is right to blend so many complex concepts together?" ”

"It's all said I'm practicing and validating them," I said, "or what do you think I'm here for?" With my strength, you wouldn't think that I was here to bully the Elder Elves and these Casper Giant Trees, right? Besides, my strength is also obtained through verification and practice! ”

Dambilo paused, suddenly remembered something, and then kept shaking his head, muttering to himself: "No wonder, no wonder, I always feel that something is wrong...... It turns out that this is where it all came from...... No wonder I met you under the tree...... No wonder the prophecy says that I will meet someone who will change me...... However, I, I still find it difficult to accept? ”

"It's really hard to accept your fate," I said, "but I've accepted my fate and left my hometown, so why don't you think about it and don't get so entangled?" ”

I saw that he was suddenly in a predicament, and he didn't press closer.

Leo was interested, and had to take a look at the green grassland, and I said, "Okay, then let's go and see it......"

Then, I summoned a native bird and called back the Tyrannosaurus rex in the canopy.

The Tyrannosaurus rex dragged on for more than ten minutes to come down, but it told me very proudly that it had completely conquered the top, that the insects and birds had settled down, and that it had completely burned the poisonous mushroom cultivation field.

This made Danburo worry for a while, for fear that the whole tree would be burned down, and the four poisonous crows would die without a place to bury.

After that, two eagle falcons with a wingspan of two meters flew down from the tree and brought down the iron cage holding the poisonous crow.

The two falcons are respectful to the Tyrannosaurus rex, it seems that the Tyrannosaurus rex does have a bit of a "tyrannosaur" temperament, but this "overlord" is a Chinese language, and people in this world don't understand.

"I feel like you gave the Tyrannosaurus rex this name just to watch it dominate the birds." I said to Leo.

"You've seen Tyrannosaurus rex on Earth," Leo said, "but they like to be alone, and rarely come in groups." ”

"You're just taking the meaning of the Chinese language," I said, "and you've said that in Western languages, Tyrannosaurus rex should actually be called Tyrannosaurus rex." ”

"No, the Tyrannosaurus Rex has a bit of a tyrannical momentum and it's pretty good, just forget about the tyrant." Leo said.

Dambiro looked at the poisonous crows in the iron cage, as if he was a little unbearable, and he didn't know whether he was disgusted or entangled, so he didn't speak.

"Wait, Ricardo will come back and we'll go to the green grasslands," I said, "but I'll see if a group of sheep that have awakened their wisdom will evolve into sheep people." ”

"You're leaving?" Dambilo was stunned, and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about, even if the creatures in the wild have wisdom, it is impossible to ...... You don't think you orcs ......"

"Hehe, isn't it a bit deviant and ridiculous?" I said, "This question has always been in my heart, including yourself, and after seeing those ancient elves, I also think that all intelligent creatures, in ancient times, were the same barbaric and ignorant, and later, it was either God-given wisdom or evolved wisdom, even if many people firmly believe that their race was created by God, probably, God also had a ......template when he created it."

"Your mind is becoming more and more dangerous...... Even the successive masters of Santas did not dare to say such a thing, but you dared to say such a thing to an outsider like me. Dambi said, "No wonder you're not interested in the green grassland, only the wood elemental god!" ”

I said, "Because I know you're going to agree with me eventually, and of course, I'm not threatening you." ”

"The more you know you, the less you know you," said D'Ambro, "and you're the most sophisticated young man I've ever met." ”

"Are you complimenting me?" I said, "But I don't think I'm always bothered by my stupidity and mistakes. ”

"Are you kidding? Or is it another form of arrogance? Dambiu said.

"I'm just telling the truth," I said, "don't worry about that." Perhaps, you can say something else, about the wood elemental plane, and if you don't want to talk about the gods, you can talk about the wood elemental king. ”

"All you're concerned about are these powerful enough beings." D'Ambro said. 2k reading web
