127 Story 1

It is a short story, and after excluding all the "phrases" that resemble the language of the scriptures and prayers, Ankang summarizes a little and finds that it is simply a history of the development of civilization.
It's just that what makes them different from other races is that they are pure creatures.
About 140 years ago, there were no intelligent creatures on the planet now called Zymz-1 that could form a "civilization", and the absolute dominance of this planet was a large number of small species similar to insects on Earth, which were ubiquitous and ubiquitous in a world where creatures were generally short for gravitational reasons.
Such a life may continue for tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years, and there may be a change of species due to changes in climate and geology, or it may remain stable.
But there is definitely a long way to go before one of these races gradually evolves into advanced intelligence by some accident.
However, on a sunny afternoon, a large cube suddenly appeared in a shrubby-dominated plain in the northern hemisphere of Zymz-1.
Ah, what a wonderful and beautiful object it is, if viewed from the point of view of civilization, it is a square that cannot be called positive or even perfect.
The huge cube, or the cube that was huge compared to most of the creatures in the world at that time, seemed to be just "lying" quietly on the plain. It was quiet, except for the sound of the gentle wind stirring the bushes, the occasional cries of insects, and the sound of passing through the grass. The sunshine that is not scorching is gently swaying on this grassland, making the whole small world seem very harmonious, giving people a lazy feeling.
However, at this moment, a string of "beams" struck a passing insect.
The insect that was "hit" began to grow larger, just a circle of size at first, but ...... After only a few moments, the insect began to feel differently in the perception of well-being, and seemed to become more crazy and predatory, not long after the insect changed its perception. As if fully accustomed to its new body, the insect moved.
Compared to before. The insect that had obviously risen in a circle did not suffer from the disadvantages of being sluggish due to its larger size, on the contrary, its speed was very fast in its class, and its larger size, greater strength, and the speed and agility that did not change at all or even increased, made this insect a more advanced predator.
Next. The insect began to prey frantically in the surrounding plains, of course, compared to the still very small human body still can't carry a lot of food, even though the digestive ability seems to have increased to a terrifying level, but Ankang sensed that the insect stopped predating after eating food equivalent to 3.5 times its volume. And a new round of evolution began.
The speed of evolution is very fast, just a few days and nights, and the original little bug has become what might be called an animal's perspective, if you look at it from the perspective of an earthling.
It's even bigger than before, almost the same size as a fat vole.
The scene for a long time in the next long period is that this insect is constantly predating-growing-predating-growing such a cycle, in this process, Ankang can feel that this creature is becoming more and more intelligent and stronger and stronger, and in this process, Ankang also noticed that some species that seem to have been spawned appeared, but most of them were killed by this "insect" that was expanding and the hunting circle was expanding, and the only thing that puzzled Ankang was that it did not devour these creatures.
Of course, the expansion of the hunting circle also means that the creature's feet are getting bigger and bigger. And the variety of prey caught is also increasing. However, the hunting circle still uses the cube as the center of the circle.
After about thirty days and nights, the original "insect" has become the size of a lion, and it is obvious from the appearance that it belongs to a high-class predator.
It was also on a bright, sunny afternoon, like thirty days and nights, that the creature suddenly stiffened as it passed by the cube, which seemed to have no presence at all.
Then, the creature's entire body shattered into a misty mass in an instant, and then, a moment later, Ankang "saw" a ball of light emerge from the golden cube, which had remained spotless after thirty days and nights, and shot into the air.
The huge light mass quickly broke through the troposphere and reached the fugitive layer in just a few seconds. Then, like an intercontinental missile, he crossed several continents and smashed into one of the most vibrant continents that Ankang could feel.
It's the same plain, except that it's now evening, and the sun may go down completely in a little while, but a huge ball of light suddenly cuts across the sky. At that moment, dusk seemed to suddenly turn into afternoon. However, this phenomenon only lasted for a moment, and in the next moment, the light mass entered the troposphere and exploded.
The pale golden mist quickly dispersed and covered almost the entire plain, slowly drifting down to the ground as it dispersed.
The pale golden fog in the sky gradually dissipated, dusk was still dusk, and the plain was still plain. There is no less or no increase in the sound that should be, and it is still so harmonious, as if it has been thousands of years past.
However, when night fell, a cry like that of an insect that had been shot by a "beam" before thirty days and nights turned, and thousands of insects of the same species changed as that insect as that one.
The sudden increase in size and the need for food did not cause the Zerg that used to prey on their own kind to kill each other, but on the contrary, the changed bugs seemed to have a division of labor and seemed to be "disciplined" overnight.
The emergence of the division of labor has allowed these insects to complete a metamorphosis, and these "insects" who are themselves at the top of the food chain have expanded more rapidly after having a division of labor and "organization".
By the time they had taken full control of the plains, they had already undergone a second evolution, and were already the average size of a rabbit. And it is clear that this not very large plain can no longer satisfy this "terrifying" race. (To be continued.) )
