Chapter 28: Monomers (8)
On the basis of Ndals's repeated outings, observations indicate that the natural conditions of the two areas originally selected as reintroduction sites have improved to varying degrees. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis gave the two of them the confidence to go ahead with the experiment in more detail. In fact, after a massive condensation of Vantelle, the entire planet began a relatively warm cycle, and according to Endals's monitoring, the planet gradually returned to its normal orbit and began to move away from the far side. In a word, the situation on the whole planet is starting to improve. This is good news for Crown Lords, who are looking forward to a better evolutionary environment for the monomers. In nature, the monomer that did not generate itself but died by itself and evolved with difficulty is changing itself step by step. However, the mysterious universe operates according to certain rules, even if it is a small and inconspicuous planet in the depths of the universe. As the temperature rises and the condensation process ends, the plane height of Vantel continues to rise, and it is a bad thing to see that the situation will gradually return to its original position. Korors was concerned about whether the subjects would be able to adapt to the change. The report given to him by his assistant did not reassure him at all, and he insisted on observing on his own. The result was not as bad as I imagined, and it can even be said that it was still unexpected to a certain extent. When the group of test subjects released into the Continent of Ephyrek diverged in two directions, the test subjects in the Continent of Esnia also diverged. This presumably had something to do with the fact that both instances had been interfered with equally, with Chronos pleased to see that one of them was more likely to stay in the warm and humid Vantle, while the other was struggling to adapt to the terrestrial environment and began to evolve primitive limbs in the next generation. Of course, the second type of subject does not exist completely away from Vandle, and sometimes swims freely in shallower places, but this is obviously not the main part of their lives.
Incidents of mutual disturbance occurred from time to time, and Korors began to want to interfere, but the assistant mentioned the result of their discussion, which could be considered a gentleman's agreement. In the matter of interference, it is indeed necessary to do something and not to do something, just like the mysterious god of the universe, of course, there is such a god. Thinking about what he and his assistants are doing, isn't it like a god doing it to these species that are evolving? The assistant told him that the test subjects roaming in Vandre had formed an invisible evolutionary divergence. He showed the captain a statistic that some of the components of Vantel contained a large amount of sodium-based impurities, while others did not. What does this mean? Endals said that the two subjects, who had developed a disagreement, and their offspring, were only similar in appearance, but in fact their adaptation to impurities had changed. Interestingly, they all showed signs of evolution to land, especially living where Vandel meets land. The captain asked when we would see something about our size, so that we could at least comfort us by seeing something that seemed to be of the same kind far from home. The assistant smiled, this is not very demanding, we should be able to see it. However, as for whether there will be a chance to continue to witness in the future, it is difficult to say. The captain said that was the end of my request.
The planet, named Earls by the captain, has been quietly changing the two of them since it became a new home where the two of them couldn't stay at ease. The severe gravitational pull caused the two to actually crawl outside the spacecraft to complete the experimental tasks many times. The speed of physical exhaustion also began to increase, and the captain asked the assistant if this meant that they were getting old. The assistant said that even though they weren't in Nabra, the planet was transformed quickly by day and night, but they had been here for a long time. As a law in the universe that will never be broken, there will be life and death, which no one can escape. Chronos told the assistant that the scheme of intervention needed to be improved and adjusted. If you don't see the level of hope before you reach the end of your life, you will definitely not be reconciled. The assistant spread his hands and said there was no way.
Perhaps the god of the universe was joking with them, but one day the assistant who returned to the ship excitedly told the captain that he had discovered a very rapidly evolving class of test subjects on the edge of Esnia. It is impossible to explain why these subjects have evolved at a much faster rate than the others, but this strange phenomenon has occurred. The rapid evolution was good news, but the captain didn't know why, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. He decided to go on his own and see for himself the rapidly evolving subjects. When he reached the edge of the continent of Aisnia, he did see what his assistant called the test subjects, and their long bodies had begun to resemble Corors. It's just that their rapid evolution in a short period of time has brought not only species dominance, but also invasion between the same species, and it is very serious. This was not what he wanted to see, but it was against his agreement with his assistant to stop it. Korors returned to the ship to discuss with his assistant, but the assistant should not interfere too much. He only made observations until one day the assistant approached the captain and said that he was going to change his position. Without delay, the two quickly began to fly to the edge of the continent of Aisnia. Despite this, this species is hard to find. After analysis, the two believe that this has something to do with two factors. One is that there are not many individuals in this experimental species who have really evolved in place, and what the captain sees is only a very accidental concentration situation. The second is that the invasion of each other has led to a decrease in numbers. Of course, it is also difficult to find these species in very dense vegetation. Perhaps, there are still a small number of individuals that need to be searched for very carefully.
Sure enough, their hopes were not dashed, and the monosyllabic wail of a valid individual under the leaves of a primordial plant finally led the two to find the survivor. They returned to the ship with the poor fellow, and that's right, it was the object of the next new intervention scheme. Compared with the past, there has been a substantial conceptual breakthrough in the new plan. Since this individual was the most evolved of all the subjects and their offspring, Endals decided to start with elementary mental interference. The captain thought that this plan was a bit too unrealistic, and the assistant alerted the captain, asking him if he was worried that he would not be able to see the extent to which the individuals on the new planet would not be able to evolve the two of them. The captain had no choice but to say okay and let the assistant implement his plan.
Compared with the previous intervention plan, this time it is not generally more difficult. From the point of view of anatomy and the science of mind and cosmobiology, there are two conditions that a species needs to have if it wants to produce even the most rudimentary mind. First, you need to have a brain that is strong enough to withstand the thought process. In the final analysis, what is needed is that the brain volume of the brain reaches a certain level, and the cortical area on the surface of the brain needs to reach a considerable area, and it must also be contractile. Another point is that for a living being, the brain alone cannot complete a completed thought process. The brain also needs to have enough energy to support the thinking process, just like the central computer on a spaceship, when thinking and calculating complex problems, it is often the time when the energy is consumed the most. For living organisms, it needs to have a strong circulatory conversion system, which quickly converts the energy ingested at every moment into energy, and transmits it to the brain through complex transmission channels, so that the brain can have strong qi activities. However, this condition alone cannot complete the most basic thinking. The second condition is that the organism needs to observe and collect information about the environment in which it lives. This condition is even more difficult than the first, and it is only when the organism has a substantial need for its surroundings that it can gradually observe and gather information for the purpose, but this in itself is the same process as the first condition is fulfilled. To put it simply, the two processes need to be considered and implemented in one. The assistant was dressed with confidence, and the captain did not want to discourage him. Let him be.
The assistant's plan was finally released, and the first step was to indirectly promote the evolution of the individual's brain by interfering with the circulatory system in the individual's body. As long as the evolution is sufficient to meet the basic needs, the second step can be carried out. It's easy to say, and the assistant only tries his own plan first. Who can hardly guarantee that the individual will be able to withstand this kind of interference, but hopefully it will survive. Endals first gradually exported the blood from the individual's body, added his own structural information body, and after completing the basic fusion, injected it into the individual's body to observe whether there was a rejection reaction. Thankfully, there was no serious rejection, and the assistant speculated that it had something to do with the interference that the two of them had already carried out. That intervention may have inadvertently laid the groundwork for this interference. Gradually, the interference with the blood is completed, the individual gradually overcomes rejection, and changes begin to occur. The circulatory system in the body becomes more efficient than that of similar species. This fundamentally opens up a great possibility of subsequent intervention, and as the circulatory system changes, changes in the brain also occur. The main manifestation is that the size has increased, and Endals can't wait to start training this guy who is still in the cage.
In the case of a generation of individuals, it is not known whether the realization of this leapfrog evolution will interfere with the rules of the universe itself, or whether it itself will be a serious contempt for the evolution of life. Anyway, since it started, the captain encouraged himself, insisted on his point of view that he wanted to interfere, and knew that after the individual entered the spaceship with the kind of result he wanted, he slowly adapted to the environment in the spaceship, and the speed of evolution became faster, and compared with the individuals in the natural environment outside the spaceship, I don't know how much more advanced. The assistant still has to observe the test subjects in the Philaeric continent from time to time. Every time he returned, he only said a few words to the captain's report, and began to busily nurture his test subjects. It seems that those individuals who have evolved naturally have been unable to attract his attention. It's no wonder that the individuals in the spaceship's cages are smart enough to be trained to choose which flight meal to choose. It has a rather valuable autonomy than his mother's. You know, this is only found in high-level organisms. Needless to say, even the captain, who had always been worried about the two of them being disrespectful to the universe, often came to see this guy. The assistant jokingly told the captain that it was time to give the individual life a name as the fourth member of the ship. The captain pretended to think about it for a long time before he came up with it. Truth be told, in order to name the entire region of the planet, the captain used almost every name he could think of. The request made by the assistant was really difficult for him. The name he came up with was Nex, and he didn't tell his assistant, it was actually a name that his ancestors had already used. Perhaps with this name, it can be regarded as a kind of commemoration of the family. But embarrassingly, every time Endals teased Nexus, the captain felt a little embarrassed, and he had to walk away.
Nexus lived up to the expectations of both of them and learned things quickly. Supplemented with energy-rich in-flight meals, Nex's body shape grows as his brain develops. Thankfully, the huge spacecraft carried a lot of in-flight meals, or it was a head-scratching problem. When the cage couldn't fit Nex, the assistant got the captain's permission and released Nex. As soon as the excited Nexus left the cage, he climbed every corner of the spaceship at a fast speed, and he was like a child. This is true, compared to the life forms of many planets of Nabra, Nex's thinking ability is indeed at the level of a child. It didn't know that in fact, in the natural environment on this planet, the interference test subjects that could have evolved together were rapidly moving in the other direction. Not only him, but even Endals, did not go out of the spaceship on time to observe during this time.
In the hinterland of Esnia, not too close to the junction between the land and the Vantelle, the results of plant evolution are staggering, starting from a height close to the ground and facing upwards, gradually ceasing to rely on the same period of rain and heat that occurs regularly each year, and being able to cope with cold and drought, and forming a continuous dense system of plants. As these plants evolve and settle here, the test subjects no longer need to spend a considerable amount of time in Wantel to find food and life, but have no contact with Wantel at all except for ingesting Wantel. This is enough to prove that they have begun to evolve towards a de facto separate species. Compared to the vast Vantelle, they prefer to stay in dense vegetation. This is their home of Vandel, but their attachment to tall plants does not motivate them to climb up the trees, and more often they stay on the damp ground covered by plants, crawling around, whether they are upright or not, no different from the upright of Korors!
It had been a long time since Crown had come out to observe the subject, and he admitted that Nexus had taken up a lot of their time these days. During his time with Nex, he discovered how important language really is in communication. He had asked his assistant why he couldn't give Nexus an outside intervention in his language skills. The assistant explained for a long time, in fact, it only made a point of view that the ability to speak is more complex than the development of the brain. He also pointed to Nex's throat and said that it lacked the physiological system to complete verbal expression. I had no choice but to listen to the monotonous sound of Nex every day. The two of them had to count the number of his voices to guess what the guy was trying to say, which was too much work. Today, the captain was a little annoyed, he flew out to see the nature that he hadn't seen many times, and he didn't know how those laissez-faire monomers had evolved. Is it unfair to the other subjects to care too much about Nexus?
