Chapter 226
"What's the matter with the Holy Land that the Precursors are talking about?" Princess Qian'er, the Little Mermaid, asked suddenly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Twenty-one years ago, when the Pioneer Mothership 2 was damaged in a tsunami caused by an undersea volcano, I directed the Forerunners to build a submarine docking point. As for what they call it a 'holy place', it may be based on the reverence for the interstellar mothership 'uso'. ”
"Oh well. That's it for me. Fleicisco felt a lot more relaxed, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"But I have a question." The central computer said suddenly.
"Oh." Flessisko Michael Cassan raised his eyebrows and said, "You ask." If we can't answer the question, we can contact the Earth Council and ask for their help. ”
"Not necessarily." The central computer said, "If you can't answer, forget it." I wonder if the current Red Starfish Forerunner can be further improved? Because after so many years, I found that there are some imperfections in the design. ”
"Genetic design is systems engineering, and it will take at least 5-10 years to implement the genetic design of each galaxy migration galaxy, and if you want to change the design, you must completely re-debug." Fleisisco replied with some impatience, he did not expect such a childish question: "The imperfection of individual places does not have much effect, and there is never a perfect design in the world." ”
Ten minutes after the Pioneer Mothership 2 advanced in the air, some green or light blue or pink-like umbrella-like floats began to appear on the sea. The large ones are more than 12 meters in diameter and look like umbrella-shaped sea-blue buildings, and the small ones are tens of centimeters.
"It's sea duckweed." Without waiting for Flesisko to ask, the central computer gave an explanation: "This sea area is a windless area, so there are so many gatherings." ”
"Very quirky and very beautiful! Do plants of red starfish have roots? The Little Mermaid asked suddenly.
The central computer hesitated for about a second: "Judging from the information I have, there should be none." All the creatures on this planet are in a state of afloat. The shallowest sea depth of the Red Starfish is 97 meters, and the deepest is more than 100,000 meters. ”
"I seem to see 'ghost islands' haunting this area......" Fleisisco chimed in. Yes, there are some magical, island-like giant floats in this mysterious, vast expanse of the sea, which sometimes rise above the surface of the sea, sometimes disappear inexplicably, only to suddenly reappear at some point and at some point. These island-like giant floating objects are like ghosts, making people feel mysterious and frightening, so they are called "ghost islands".
"Oh! You're asking where do these giant floating objects that resemble 'ghost islands' come from? And why? Most of the forerunners of the Red Starfish (who were marine geologists) attribute the island's cause to volcanic eruptions at the bottom of the ocean. At the bottom of the Red Sea Starfish Ocean, there are countless active volcanoes, and when these volcanoes erupt, the spewed debris and lava cool, solidify, and accumulate on the ocean floor. As for the disappearance of small islands, some forerunners attribute it to the failure of the lava formed by volcanic magma eruptions to form a solid base with the bedrock of the seabed, and after a period of time, the floating debris resembling the new island could not resist the continuous erosion of the ocean currents and broke off from the roots, and finally disappeared; Some forerunners believe that the island-like float disappeared because it was destroyed by a new submarine volcanic eruption. At the same time, there are also pioneers who believe that volcanic activity caused the earth's crust to sink in the same place, which led to the collapse of similar island-like floating debris...... Although there is some truth and scientific basis for these opinions and speculations, they do not fully explain why floating objects such as 'Ghost Island' appear and disappear from time to time, while there are no strong earthquakes, tsunamis and turbulence in the waters adjacent to them. These questions still baffle countless forerunners ......"
"Also, I seem to see birds flying in the sky."
"Red starfish does not have birds similar to Earth, but there are flying creatures that resemble insects and intelligent creatures that can spread their wings and soar freely in the clouds. They can also stay on the surface of the water and are supposed to have evolved from aquatic organisms. These insects are also one of the food sources for the Precursors and similar flying pterosaur-like 'intelligent creatures', and according to them, there is a large flying locust whose hind legs are delicious when roasted......"
Princess Qian'er, the Little Mermaid, frowned, as if she was a little worried that the Forerunner would treat herself with bugs. Fleisisco pointed to a huge undulating black shadow in the distance and asked, "What is that?" ”
"That's the sea giant unique to the Red Starfish - the red-tailed scale, nine-clawed, one-horned poisonous flame dragon." The central computer replied: "According to research, this species is similar to the dinosaurs on the earth, and it is almost 1.3 billion years old. ”
"1.3 billion years." Fleisisco gasped. He knew that some species of dinosaurs on the earth had become extinct and disappeared, and those flying birds that evolved from some ancient small pterosaurs had existed for more than 3-500 million years, which belonged to one of the oldest species on the earth, compared to the evolutionary history of more than two million years of human beings, which was simply not worth mentioning; In fact, Earth's terrestrial species have existed for a much shorter period of time than marine organisms. "After such a long time, it has not been extinct, it is truly a miracle of miracles."
"A miracle of miracles indeed, fossil data suggests that little has changed in this species over such a long time." The central computer went on to add: "Maybe the environment of the red starfish is too calm, and the motivation for evolution is too small......"
"That's how it should be." Flessisko nodded approvingly and said, "There are still some people on Earth who believe that some organisms have changed little over tens of millions of years and reject Darwin's theory of evolution, but in fact, this is only because these creatures have been adapting to the environment for tens of millions of years. Biological evolution is due to the selective pressure brought about by the living environment, and it seems that the water planet is indeed a comfortable cradle of life......" (To be continued. )
