Chapter 141: Blue Planet (Part II)

With all electronic radar surveys cut off, Robin's task force has been sneaking through the dark jungle for a day and night. At the beginning, they were accustomed to the assistance of electronic equipment, and they showed extreme discomfort, as if they could not move an inch after leaving electronic equipment. But soon, those primitive infantry training programs buried in the depths of memory began to work, coupled with the strong environmental adaptability of humans in the new era, after a day and night, everyone seems to have become veterans of jungle warfare, not only can they shuttle freely in the dark jungle, but also through some subtle traces of destruction of vegetation, they can tell what exactly has passed here.

In the process, Leona's presence also provided a lot of information to help the team safely stealth. When encountering something strange or dangerous, the team will stand by and let Leona check it out to make sure it doesn't pose a threat to the team before the team continues on its intended route.

In just over twenty hours, the team has encountered thousands of alien unknowns. At present, one of the vegetation that appears most in the team's line of sight is the broad-leaved shrub plant that resembles 'Green Luo', this kind of plant grows everywhere in the forest, is accustomed to growing in a high humidity environment, and relies on absorbing the radiation contained in the forest fog to produce the nutrients needed for growth, this kind of plant has a strong reproductive ability, and the biological chain on the planet Wentini is similar to the pasture in the earth's biological chain, and it is an indispensable plant for herbivores.

Most of the animals that feed on this plant are small animals and insects, and in terms of insects, most of them are pupae with a body length of about one meter and a skin surface covered with blue-green markings. By eating these broad-leaved plants, the pupae will gradually grow into adults, and evolve into various large beetles and dipteras by shedding their shells or forming cocoons.

Animals, on the other hand, are slightly more monolithic than insects. Most of the animals that feed on this Wendini planet 'Green Luo' are small animals of the order Odd Hoof. In appearance, these creatures are somewhat similar to the thunderbeasts of the earth's paleontology, with both mammalian and reptilian features. However, unlike the Thunderbeast, this small herbivore on the planet Wendini generally weighs only about 100 kilograms, with strange bony horns at the front of its snout and two fleshy antennae on its forehead.

From the point of view of the earth's creatures, a creature weighing 100 kilograms is really not a small creature. However, on the planet Wendini, not only is the planet itself a thousand times larger than Earth, but even the creatures here are generally gigantic because they rely on absorbing radiation, a more efficient way of absorbing energy.

Just like on the earth, plants generate the energy needed for growth through photosynthesis, while animals and insects obviously do not have the ability to photosynthesize, so they rely on eating plants to indirectly obtain energy to maintain life, and between carnivores and herbivores, it is another mode of survival.

In the same way, a similar chain of organisms can also be confirmed on the planet Wendini. Due to the different ecological environments, the plants on the planet Wendini do not rely on photosynthesis to generate energy, and various plants use their leaves and rhizomes to absorb the radiation dispersed in the air and soil, and borrow chemical energy to form a cold nuclear fusion similar to Robin, so as to generate digestible energy. Like the animals on Earth, the animals on the planet Wendini do not have the ability to directly absorb the external energy of radiation, so they rely on edible plants to obtain energy indirectly, forming a biological chain similar to that of Earth.

Comparing these two biological chains, the biggest difference is undoubtedly the difference in the energy absorption mode of the species at the bottom of the biological chain. And it is this difference that causes the species on the planet Wendini to obtain far more energy than the species on Earth. As a result, the growth cycle of species on this planet is significantly faster, the size is larger, and the strength, degree, agility and other body values of animals and insects are also greatly higher than those of life on earth.

Based on the species data collected by Leona at present, it can be inferred that the evolution of species on the planet Wendini at this stage is close to the early Eocene of the earth, although the terrestrial species are still amphibians, reptiles and insects, but the transitional mammal has begun to appear as a stage species, such as the giant beast shaped like capybara that Robin and others first saw, although it is still a herbivore, but from the point of view of its aggressiveness, it has begun to evolve to a more high-end omnivorous species.

As an outsider to this planet, Robin is not really interested in paying attention to the stage of biological evolution on this planet, he only wants to learn from Leona which animals and plants are threatening and which are harmless. Unlike Leona, who is a scholar, he only needs to know how to fight in this forest and how to use it wisely in battle.

Leona has also made a detailed list of these things to help Robin get to know the forest more deeply.

In Leona's list, mammals are mostly non-threatening species, and although some individuals are hideous and large, they generally do not attack them as long as they do not actively attack them. And because Planet Wendini is a low-light planet, the species on this planet generally do not have good eyesight, and the visual ability test of most species is similar to that of the earth creature mole, which belongs to the amblyopia species, and it is difficult to have strong vision like most earth creatures.

Therefore, due to visual impairments, most of the animals here have a unique organ. This organ is also similar to that of the amblyopic mole, like the strange-looking star-nosed mole of the earth's creatures, with twenty-two fleshy appendages around the star-nosed mole's nose. Normally, the star-nosed mole has a snout that flutters rapidly for a long time, relying on the powerful sense of smell brought by twenty-two fleshy tentacles to distinguish external substances.

On the planet Wendini, all creatures here, whether mammals, reptiles, or amphibians, have this organ. Although the location of the organs varies, the effects are very similar, which can compensate for the lack of vision to some extent, allowing them to detect danger in time and capture prey with precision.

However, this organ is not a pure olfactory amplifier, and in Leona's research, this type of organ is more about distinguishing between changes in the concentration of radiation in the air and changes in electronic particles. This is somewhat similar to a radio receiver, which can confirm accurate information about the various species in the environment by distinguishing the concentration of radiation reactions of various biosmotes.

Therefore, the shutdown of all forms of radar is an essential step in ensuring the safety of the forest. As long as this kind of energy reaction release is cut off, then even if some aggressive species are encountered, the opponent will give up the attack because they cannot distinguish the species they belong to. That's why the capybara-like beast turned a blind eye to Robin's convoy, because in its eyes, a convoy with its radar turned off was no different from stone or dirt.

The most threatening to the convoy are the various giant insects that inhabit the forest. Crustaceans, in particular, are territorially aware and aggressive. Insects' natural chemical instincts allow them to attack in a variety of ways, and they are also very clever in concealment and camouflage, and Zhuo Luo, who serves as a sentinel at the front, has encountered these cleverly camouflaged giant insects many times.

In addition to insects, certain reptiles and amphibians can also pose a threat to the convoy. Just like an amphibian resembling a salamander that Robin once encountered, this large salamander with six red feathery tentacles on its gills attacked Robin without warning, and the tongue with a sticky liquid that was more than five meters long enveloped Robin almost instantly.
