Chapter 68: The Theme of Spring
Sham Sha Bus ...... No brains.
Or rather, the creature didn't have brain-like organs, and Lynn's penetrators had searched every organ in its body, but none of them found a brain.
However, at the base of the forelimbs, there are ganglion-like organs, two in total, which are quite primitive structures and quite small, but the body of the deep sand bus is full of complex muscles and a large number of cells and organs, is that little ganglion enough?
And the Deep Sand Bus is quite a clever creature, very skilled at hunting, and can hide in the sand at the right time, trying to avoid injury as much as possible, which is not something that a creature with only one ganglion can do......
Lynn also discovered that the Deep Sand Bus itself was not a normal creature, it had a huge hollow space in its body, and many organs and muscles were squeezed to the side, but even so, it was still able to exert great strength and speed, which was quite abnormal.
And it doesn't even have a brain, so it's hard to fit a brain reader, because Lynn found that the nerves that control its body are not necessarily connected to the ganglia of its forelimbs......
Although it is not known for the time being where the secret of its body structure is, about the brain, Lin suddenly thought of a possibility......
The head worm, among the Aztec worms, there are such classes as the head worms.
In that case, we have to investigate.
"Gollum ......" lying on the floating green carpet of the deep sand bus slowly woke up, it had previously entered a coma because it flew too high, not only because of the fear of heights, but also because of the unsuitable temperature in the high altitude and the relationship between less oxygen.
Now it seemed to get used to it, and began to twist its body. Struggling to get up. And ran to the edge of the green carpet.
Doesn't it know that this is high in the sky? Lynn told Behemoth to stop it. But it's too late.
The Deep Sand Bus ran extremely fast, rushed out of the edge of the green carpet in one fell swoop, and then ......
Lynn heard only a scream of fear, which quickly died away, and after a while, some of Lynn's classes in the glittering glade below heard a violent roar again, as if some kind of giant object was striking each other.
The Deep Sand Bus had smashed a huge crater into the glittering woodland, and the Deep Sand Bus in the center of the crater had become a meat sauce mixed with a pile of carapace fragments.
It should have been pulled up just now...... But it doesn't matter. Lin has seen almost every structure in the body of the deep sand bus, there is nothing missing, this creature is very wonderful, but because it is too large and has special habits, it is difficult to keep the living body and study it all the time, and for the 'division of labor' creatures, if you only study one of them, you can't understand their group.
If you have the chance, you'll have to see the Aztecs again. If the Aztec worm also has a head worm, is it also possible to communicate?
Lynn uses some collectors to completely recycle the sand buses that have turned into meat sauce. Finally, some research was done on its carapace
Each scale on the back armor of the deep sand bus can be opened, so that the Aztec worm in the body can be released, just like the mouth of the army, and the Aztec is special about its carapace, which is made of a mixture of various chitin, and Lynn even found crystallized ingredients in it.
The combination of ingredients makes the carapace of the Deep Sand Bus strong and smooth, so that it can travel through the desert, and this new chitinous synthesis recipe is worth learning from Lin.
After studying chitin, Lynn's research on the Sham Sand Bus came to an end for the time being.
It might not be easy for Lynn to get her hands on the new Deep Sand Bus, so head straight to the Aztec Bugs, but there's still a lot to study in the Twisted Jungle right now.
Lynn's evolution is partly dependent on her own imagination, but partly on observing other creatures, and even the simplest creatures may hide the miracle of evolution.
Now, Lynn's main research is 'seasons', and Lynn has found that the word "season" in her mind represents different climates and different environments, and in different places, organisms will produce different changes.
After winter, it's spring.
In the middle of spring, the creatures begin to reproduce, which seems to be the theme of biological evolution, and Lynn relies on the constant combination of new structures, and they rely on the combination of male and female characteristics to change new structures.
This is an interesting research project, and almost all living things have evolved the trait of 'sex', which can be said to be the common denominator of all living things.
Recently, many creatures have begun to grow explosively, and in the jungle where the snow and ice slowly melt, plants and animals awaken together, and when food and water are extremely abundant, reproduction has become their theme.
Creatures on land began to gather together, and next to the base of the Dark Plains, there was a large group of beetles, their males fighting each other, and in order to fight, they evolved huge sharp horns above their heads to collide with each other, while the females were more idle, and generally stayed by and watched, waiting for the strongest to appear.
Males usually have a tough fight, and even if they become the strongest, they can be defeated quickly, but females are also troublesome when laying eggs later, they need to dig burrows and prevent predators from attacking their nests and cubs, in general, both males and females don't seem to be easy, but their morphology is already different, females have shorter horns and shovel-like shapes, which are suitable for digging burrows.
But Lin also discovered a special species of arthropod called 'flies', whose males changed the fight to some strange poses to attract the females, and whoever posed better would get the right to reproduce
I don't know how this strange way evolved, probably to avoid unnecessary damage during fighting, but in this case...... Does it really help to get stronger?
However, many creatures are bred by fighting, which helps them to evolve constantly, and Lynn has been observing nearby creatures lately, and noticing what unusual changes occur in their cubs, and sometimes even completely new ones.
Lynn also found that some creatures were starting to stop laying eggs, such as a special reptile 'knife lizard', because the eggs they produced were more vulnerable, so they began to let the eggs hatch directly in the body, which was more advantageous.
And some creatures still have the premise that females die after laying eggs, and although their corpses can provide abundant food for the creatures around them, Lynn really doesn't know what the point is......
Plants, on the other hand, usually rely on water or wind to transport their germ cells, and because they can't move, they have a lot of troubles, but they get over it.
The behavior of these creatures slowly changes their appearance, and this is how they continue to evolve a variety of different creatures.
Lynn had considered whether she wanted to put together a similar structure a long time ago, but even now she hasn't implemented it, and Lynn is still the fastest way to evolve now, but Lynn also likes to see how other creatures evolve, which is interesting.
Lin was also researching vine ferns, and finally several crushers dug until about twenty meters below the desert before they saw the end of the roots of the vine ferns, and the sand there gathered a lot of water, but there was nothing else special, it seemed that the vine ferns really grew entirely on water.
Later, Lin found out that in fact, the seeds of the vine fern were only about a meter below the sand, and it began to grow after receiving the information of moisture.
The vine fern has a very rapid circulation system, can use a large amount of water to produce nutrients very quickly, and can multiply in sufficient light, according to the way they grow, Lin has created a new type of green carpet, this green carpet can rapidly transform nutrients, grow much faster than before, and can quickly cover a large area.
However, there is no need to use this kind of green carpet yet, but Lin feels that this kind of 'exploding green carpet' will be useful sooner or later.
The brain cells of the head worm have all slowly woken up now, and the head worm has also begun to command a large number of reproduction in the community, although the general infantry has a gender, but they have no ability to reproduce, and it seems to have degraded in the process of division of labor, in addition, the head worm itself is a female, but it is obviously not responsible for life, and the queen is responsible for production.
Lin used the display to show the head worm the winter situation, and the explosion of vine ferns, as well as the various creatures in the jungle, and Lin wanted to see what special information the head worm had, but the head worm looked very curious, as if it had never seen these scenes.
It's not surprising that the head worm began to excitedly ask Lin about the winter, after all, the head worm went into a deep sleep as it approached winter.
Lin also asked some head worms about the season, and the head worm also has the word season, it said that winter generally lasts about 400 days and nights, but the situation is different each time, it is not appropriate to draw conclusions, when the winter is over, spring will last about 100 days and nights, this calculation method is mainly about the consumption of water dissolved by ice and snow.
Spring is over, it's summer, and the first time Lynn set foot on the Northern Continent, it's summer, and summer is the hottest season, but the Twisted Jungle won't be affected much.
The head worm said that the 'moon' will appear at the turn of spring and summer, and strange things will happen at that time.
Lynn had heard about the moon many times and had become a little anticipatory.
Finally, Lynn showed the head worm a sight of the deep sand bus appearing in the vine fern, to which the head worm said: "It's not hunting, it's exploring, then attacking, killing, it's coming, Aztec, winter is over, abundant food, huge army, it's going to attack, it's going to destroy, it's going to die."
