It was a small bipedal vertebrate, it was covered with gray-brown hair, it was easy to infer that it was an omnivore from the point of view of its body structure, it was not tall, compared to the large mammals that can be seen everywhere, he could only be regarded as a small person, Shure did not see anything outstanding about it, only knew that a creature like him must be in a very awkward ecological niche, its size was considered very small, which meant that they could not rely on scavenging and gathering for a living, but they did not have particularly high hunting skills, There's no way to compete with the top predators at the top of the food chain here.

Schul was interested in a very interesting change, the cervical spine of this creature has undergone a very interesting change, from the most common J-shape in mammals to the S-shape, which is the disadvantage left by their change from quadrupedal walking to bipedal walking in a short period of time, the pressure on the entire spine cannot be dispersed, most of it is piled up on the lumbar spine, which will cause serious damage to their health, not only the spine, such diseases also exist in their cardiovascular and retina, for a long time in the future, This kind of problem will bother them, but it is worth it, they walk on two legs, free their hands, which opens up more new possibilities for them, don't underestimate this small change, they may well create a new era.

Shul had just been taken aback by this guy, and now his fear had turned to curiosity, but the furry guy still seemed to be hostile to him, and it kept slapping the water and making strange cries to threaten Shul, maybe Shuer's appearance was indeed a little weird and even scary in the eyes of the creatures of this planet.

Shuer tried to stretch out his gravitational tentacles to make contact with him, but the other party was frightened, and he fled when he saw Shuer's movements from a distance, and Shuer did not force it, after all, excessive contact is likely to lead to the civilization of a species being enlightened in advance, which is strictly forbidden by the headquarters, and for this seed planet, maybe don't wake up to civilization, it's a good thing to live like this.

In the days that followed, Shull would always see that guy, consciously or unconsciously, and after the first contact, he also relaxed his vigilance against Shule, and instead began to be curious about his translucent gravitational tentacles and strangely shaped body, and would sneak peek outside the spaceship base from time to time.

For it, the spaceship was an incomprehensible existence, and his brain, with limited intelligence, could not understand why this strangely shaped reflective stone could fly around, it obviously looked so heavy, and it had no wings, at first it was frightened by the sharp sound of Shure piloting the spaceship during his patrol, but after a few days he got used to the noise and began to observe this strange phenomenon more closely.

Shul didn't know his name, this strange furry creature likes to roll on the grass, so he called it Furball, although his skinny appearance doesn't look like a ball at all, Shul once surveyed his tribe, the settlement of Furball is behind the hillside not far from the base of the spaceship, there are about thirty of them, they live in a cave in the mountain, they are strange hermaphroditic reproductive creatures, most of the creatures on this planet are like this, even plants choose this strange way of reproduction, Males like hairballs leave their burrows early in the morning and go hunting in groups of three or five, while females stay around the burrows to gather simple food, berries or shoots.

Furball is obviously not a successful hunter, the most nutrients he consumes in his life are still leftovers, yes, they give up their physical advantages in this kind of food, in addition to walking upright and freeing their hands, they also choose a difficult evolutionary direction - intelligence. Their overdeveloped brains need to consume about 20% of the overall energy, which is simply worse when they are already underfed and clothed, and this level of intellectual development will not help them much, at most they can learn to use simple stone tools, pry open the dry bones in the wilderness, and take a bite of the bone marrow eaten by predators, it is this bone marrow that makes their race tenacious to this day.

Shure understands that this is a difficult road, the world of organic matter is always so bad and ferocious, full of competition all the time, Shure's race has become experienced this hardship, they are an inorganic civilization, developed from the accidental formation of miniature electronic structures in nature, sleeping in the silent earth for hundreds of millions of years before awakening the intellect, although it is long, but at least there is no competition.

Because of this, Shuer is more interested in the hairballs, he sometimes stays on the way they hunt, showing the hairballs and its people some miracles of technology, of course they can't understand these things, but they will instinctively feel the magic, and get excited together, Shul has also tried to test them some times, test their abilities, Shure has recorded many creatures on this planet, he has recorded every creature with evolutionary potential, one day in the future, One of them will become the overlord of the planet.

Will it be hairballs? Shure himself didn't know that he could enlighten them at any time, but there was no need for that, and some of them were already arranged in the dark...... Shul was not a staunch believer in psionic idealism, but he liked this kind of explanation, and when faced with the unknown, the idealistic worldview made it difficult to get lost.

The days passed like this, it was only a short time for Shuer, their inorganic life was as long as the mountains and rivers, but the hairball changed a lot, it had grown up, and it was twice as tall as when they first met, because Shuer would give it some prey, and the hairball grew taller than its own kind, and soon it became the leader of its own small tribe, and it came to Shuer less and less, sometimes bringing its own groups of children with it, and they gathered in a circle, Summoning Shur out with a strange dance may be the earliest faith.

Shul responded to them less and less, his colleagues had already left, and indeed the mission was complete once they confirmed that there was a 'seed' on the planet, and Shul had already reached the deadline, and if he didn't set out again, he wouldn't be able to catch up with his companions.

His research paper had long since been completed, and the unpopular subject of the organism planet had not attracted much attention on the home planet, but Shul had found great inner satisfaction, and he felt that it was time for him to leave.

The last time I met Furball, it was still in the small river where they met.
