Chapter 40: The ...... Troubled by Evolutionary Potential
Wandering in space overlooking the planet, the evolutionary potential is in crisis.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the gentle slope of the submarine mountain near the summit, although it is not yet as bright as the sea, it is still a little hazy light penetrating. At the moment, the light is eclipsed.
Dazzling white light flashed in an instant, and the lightning that exploded directly from the sea was far more powerful than its airborne counterparts, exuding terrifying power......
For the purpose of emergency rescue, Xinglan almost aimed the energy stored in this part of the signal in the Lanxing Ocean at the caveworm and launched it, because it only lasted for a short moment, the instantaneous output power was extraordinarily large.
To put it simply, there was a loud bang in the sky, and Xinglan appeared brightly...... Well, the other guys in the room couldn't see her at all.
Perhaps it was due to the animal's instinct for danger, and at the moment when the electric current began to gather momentum, a terrible sense of crisis suddenly emerged from the sea giants and caveworms in the war, and their poor brains did not even have time to think, so they obeyed their instincts and quickly fell to the ground.
This is very sensible.
Rumble!
Sound waves are mechanical waves, and in contrast to electromagnetic waves, the greater the density of the propagation medium of mechanical waves, the better the propagation effect. In the seawater, the sound is much louder than the thunder in the atmosphere!
Perhaps because of some human genes, sea giants are not as sensitive as other animals, so the caveworms with keen hearing have decisively become the biggest victims of this sonic boom.
In fact, sonic weapons are really useful against bugs...... However, this time, in the face of other effects, the sonic damage is only pediatric.
The huge flash of light is so badly weakened in the sea that even a caveworm that doesn't normally use a light rod will not be blinded by the light.
However, a huge electric current electrolyzes a large amount of seawater in an instant, producing a lot of chaotic gases, which are then ignited by a combination of flammable gases such as hydrogen and oxygen. What's even more terrifying is that because of the complex composition of the gas, the consequence of ignition is not a quiet burning, but a violent explosion! This series of terrible consequences, combined with the disturbance of the electromagnetic field caused by the electric current, destroyed everything within a radius of tens of meters in diameter.
Well, that's right, although the light and momentum are terrifying, the effective killing range of this ocean lightning is only a few tens of meters in diameter. It's not that you can't expand the range of your attack, but if you accidentally kill all the sea giants, what is Xinglan for?
Moreover, in order to ensure that there would not be a situation where Xinglan's front feet just walked and the sea giants hung on their hind feet, not only could they not kill these sea giants by mistake, but they could not even be seriously injured. This really made Xinglan, who has always been proud of her computing ability, saddened...... Still, it's done, isn't it?
After all, it is not the so-called Zerg who are not afraid of death, the cave worms in the back were frightened by this sudden change, and the soldiers of both sides who were still fighting in front of them trembled out from the place where they were lying down, and looked at the charred black biological tissues in the center that had been completely charred together......
Well, charred black, twelve ripe caveworm meat, absolutely high-protein food, remove the head, you can eat it, chicken flavor, crunchy......
……
Huh? It's terrible!
As if realizing something, a large number of caveworms jumped up and began to run away in the direction they came, so fast that they felt that six legs were not enough! A certain cave insect king who was murderous and tried to stop the deserters was instantly drowned in the sea of people's war...... Not even a bubble splashed.
At a glance, a large number of insects seemed to have retreated from the cliff like a tide, and the gentle slope was clean and tidy...... Well, it's impossible to be clean or tidy or something.
……
"Well, it's over......" Xinglan floated in the sky, watching the sea giants look at the sky blankly, their faces still had the happiness of the rest of their lives, and they couldn't help but sigh a little, "It's just a temporary rescue, maybe, soon you won't thank me......"
The signals, which had lost their sufficient energy, began to gradually disintegrate, and their unique high-dimensional structure required continuous energy consumption to maintain, although it was not much, but the lightning bolt had almost consumed their energy.
Feeling the load of consciousness gradually dissipate, Xinglan relaxed her mind and watched the sea giants below ecstatically begin to clean up the cave worm meat, and a question welled up in her heart: ...... Caveworm meat doesn't really smell like chicken, right? They seem to like it very much......
Hawkers, no matter what~
No longer holding on, Xinglan even took the initiative to accelerate the death speed of this part of the signal. For astral-level consciousnesses, the loss of this signal is like pulling out a hair, and they don't care at all.
With the last chuckle left by the girl, all the signals in the Ranstar Ocean disintegrated themselves......
……
Xinglan didn't notice that just as the strong electromagnetic field fluctuations generated by the lightning spread out in all directions, several colorful and beautiful bands of light flashed in the empty sea water higher than where she was......
It's like an aurora formed by the magnetic field at the planet's poles deflecting high-energy particles.
With a few twists and turns, the brilliant colored light bands quietly disappeared, only the sea water was still constantly fluctuating, as if something invisible was swimming in it, all the way forward......
……
Universe, endless sea of stars~
The black velvet curtain is adorned with sparkling gemstones. Each of them is unique and precious.
However, the universe is just too big, too big.
Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?
This is a question that almost all intelligent beings know and do not understand, but still think deeply.
What's behind the stars? What is the outer world of the universe?
Whether anyone knows about it or not, I don't know anyway. Xinglan thought irresponsibly......
Well, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. With my current ability, I'd better take care of my little galaxy.
Ordinary creatures who come to the universe for the first time will always have a feeling of discomfort in the face of darkness and silence, distance and loneliness. But maybe it's because I was born in the universe, even if I leave the warmth...... Well, it should be a hot star, and Xinglan doesn't feel uncomfortable floating alone in space.
Although the space is so large that the density of signaling particles in space near Lanxing is actually very low, at this distance, if the signaling particles are mobilized at the speed of light to form a consciousness carrier, it is actually only a few seconds.
Looking at the azure planet in front of her, which looked huge because of its proximity, a smile appeared on the corner of Xinglan's mouth......
Hmph, my masterpiece, it's so beautiful~
Perhaps because there were microorganisms that could use oxygen directly in the strains that Xiao Cheng put in, Lanxing did not experience a mass extinction event that transformed from anaerobic bacteria to aerobic bacteria, but evolved smoothly for 500 million years, and there has been no mass extinction event so far...... At least that's what Xinglan learned.
But flowers in a greenhouse aren't necessarily a good thing......
Xinglan opened the calculation result file sent by the main computer of the Qingyan Base with the assistance of the signal subnet, and her mood instantly became solemn.
"Estimated evolutionary potential: 2.12%...... It's already seriously below the 10% warning line......" Looking at the beautiful huge planet in front of her, Xinglan couldn't bear it, "Perhaps, more data is needed to get accurate results?" ”
"Judgment Day or something, you still need to be cautious......" As if to convince herself, Xinglan muttered to herself, "It's better to observe for a while......"
She looked into the starry sky, and the vast network of signal subtons quickly amplified the object far away from space......
An asteroid that can switch orbits at any time, like a floating mountain......
Sighing softly and retracting her gaze from afar, Xinglan floated in orbit in space...... No, perhaps this is not accurate, because although the signal on itself cannot block the transmission of gravitons, it is almost not affected by gravity, so there is no need to follow the orbit.
Clouds of water vapor can be seen in the almost transparent atmosphere outside the planet. These pale white silks are an indispensable part of a planet's ecosystem. The cyclones rotate slowly, slowly, sometimes for hours or even days, to make a full circle, so that they look so peaceful and beautiful in space.
Keen perception caught the slightest electromagnetic disturbance, Xinglan looked at the thickest part of the cloud on the sea, and instantly understood what it was: "A storm on the sea......
The countless stars on the cosmic canopy flickered, seemingly constant, but they were actually like clouds that seemed to be slowly but actually rotating rapidly, so could there be a cosmic-level storm brewing in the depths of this endless sea of stars?
Feeling that she was thinking a little far, Xinglan gathered her thoughts, as if her thoughts had been drifting a little bit lately...... Why......
Looking at the azure planet in front of her, Xing Lan's mind moved slightly, and the planet in front of her seemed to be moved by an invisible giant hand, and quickly rotated to the other side, which had a continental side.
Of course, it's not that the planet is being moved, it's just that the signals that Xinglan's consciousness uses to make up the sensors are revolving around Lanxing at the speed of light. If it can really be dialed like a data model, then the planet is estimated to be almost in tatters...... Presumably, the entire surface of the planet will be thrown out by centrifugation......
So, let's take a look at the land half of Arashi.
Above the ancient Lan Star, the largest and only ancient ocean enveloped the Pan-Ancient Continent, which is the only place on the Lan Star that can truly be called a continent except for some small islands.
The continent, not yet divided.
The shape of the Panarchaea Continent is still the shape of a dog's bone that people can't bear to look at, and after 500 million years, it still retains its original dark or yellowish brown, and there is no large amount of terrestrial vegetation that can make the whole continent green.
Although some magical species have appeared, the overall evolutionary potential has almost disappeared, and this kind of ecological environment that is content with the status quo is not what Xinglan wants to see.
Life, must be on land. If you don't want to......
Then use calamity to persecut!
