Chapter 223: Creation or Evolution?
After learning almost all the languages and scripts of the White Skeleton Dragon, Lin immediately found the stone tablets that the White Skeleton Dragon used to record their history, which were placed in a corner of the room, and the pillars in this corner looked inconspicuous but recorded a lot of useful information......
Lin also found many other accounts that showed that there were originally many different versions of the 'history' of the White Skeleton Dragon, but it was later merged to form the version that Lin had just seen.
The entire historical record is not very complicated, but there are also explanations of what the White Skeleton Dragon went through, and there are chronological records on each experience.
Lin found that the group of white dragons had spent at least two thousand years old, and of course these two thousand years were their 'years', which were calculated in terms of 1,060 days and nights in a year.
If the records of the White Dragons are true, then they have been developing for quite a long time since they knew how to record history.
And their birth is inseparable from the 'creator' mentioned in their history.
Lin found that in addition to the historical records, there are many records of the creators, most of which describe some of the things about the creators, and they are all stories imagined with their thoughts, and there are quite a lot, and Lin can confirm that they worship the creators very much.
In the thoughts of the white skeleton dragon, this creator is omnipotent, it has incomparably powerful power, it can create a life, and it can create all the qiē......
It's a wonderful phenomenon, and they worship in a way that's a little different from the Emerald Dragon and the Skeleton Dragon, which has a lot of things to worship. But there are no emerald dragons who think they are something to worship. And the dragon didn't think that the pom-pom had created them. The pom-poms believe that pom-poms guide their direction, their path, their lives.
In historical records, the White Skeleton Dragons believe that they were shaped from clay by the creators......
…… This may seem strange, but it also means that the White Dragons don't remember what it was like in the first place, but only begin to imagine how they were born and how they came to be when they learned to record them. In this way, they are thought of as being shaped by the creator of zào.
…… Directly pinched from the mud into a whole white skeleton dragon? This may seem unlikely, but many of the ingredients in the soil can be converted into nutrients for living things, so it can't be said to be completely wrong......
In fact, this question has also been pondered by Lynn as to how organisms are created. But at least it's not like the White Skeleton Dragon said, if it's still possible to shape it out of clay, but later they say that the creator of the zào made other creatures out of rock......
Generally speaking, these organisms are unaware of the existence of cells, and they think that an organism is a whole, not a patchwork of many small things. They think that a creature is what it is when it spawns.
If you tell a white skeleton dragon or an emerald dragon that there is something about cells, they may not believe this fact at all.
It is true that their brains have no information about cells. They don't know that cells have undergone a lot of complex evolution to become like this.
When it comes to evolution, it's also a very complicated thing, in fact, there are many different situations of evolution, and now Lin has also integrated the study of the historical evolution of organisms, and the main evolutionary methods, Lin believes that there are about three types.
The original, and most primitive, way of evolution was what Lynn called 'completely random'.
That is, every time a creature reproduces, including when it splits, it is possible to produce some kind of change in its body, if a creature has a change in its beneficial life, it will become more advantageous than the surrounding kind, it has more opportunities to reproduce, and then slowly it will eliminate other kinds, and over time, the creatures in this area will become creatures with this dominant change.
This way of evolution is quite slow, because of the random relationship, they cannot evolve quickly, they can only rely on the random appearance of the next reproduction, and at the same time, they cannot cope with the mutation of the environment and various situations.
To put it simply, this method of evolution relies on coincidence and fate, and requires a large number of races, and if the races are too small, they may become extinct without random abilities.
If organisms had evolved in this way, it would have been difficult for them to have large arthropods, let alone divisional species or dinosaurs, in hundreds of millions of years.
As a result, another creature was born, one with a more powerful way of evolving, which Lynn called 'non-complete randomness'.
It seems to be similar to the name above...... But this creature evolves much faster.
These 'not completely random' creatures still evolve by coincidence, they need coincidence at first, they have to happen to something, like a beetle that has something explosive in its body by chance, and then secretes this liquid in its body.
Initially, it may have injured itself, but it did not die, but it managed to repair the wounds in its body, and the beetle discovered that the liquid could blow away predators.
Then, it succeeds, it feeds constantly, and then it secretes a similar fluid in its body to resist predators, and at the same time, the cells make its internal organs stronger, resisting the explosives without damaging them.
At this time, the cells of this beetle will completely record this new ability, and its offspring will also inherit this ability, maybe the initial ability is not very perfect, maybe it is just by peristaltic squeezing liquid, but each of its descendants will continue to use this ability in the process of improving it, and in the end it will even become a super cannon barrel that can be directly synthesized in the body, and can rotate 360 degrees!
To put it simply, as soon as this new type of evolution encounters some kind of coincidence, it finds that the coincidences are beneficial to itself, and it begins to change at the right time according to this coincidence, without the need to slowly stack up through random changes that occur by reproduction.
When organisms also reproduce sexually, the offspring produced will also have more abilities.
In fact, this 'new evolutionary ability' of this creature also came out at some point, and they quickly replaced the slow and purely random creatures and became the dominant species, and most of the creatures that Lynn saw now, including various dinosaurs and skeletons, were basically these creatures, and this species was not limited to animals, including plants and even fungi, and the era of purely random creatures was over.
There are only a few places where you can find some very primitive and purely random fungal creatures.
However, this new way of evolution was originally based on chance, so it was called a 'non-completely random' creature.
And as for how the virus evolved...... It's not easy to confirm what they are, next time it's good to do a real thing, Lin still has a fairly old virus, I don't know what effect it will have on living things now.
Non-completely random creatures, they do not get rid of randomness, they still produce random changes when they reproduce, occasionally produce some changes that are not good for the body, if the creatures of this change are successfully reproduced, their offspring will inherit similar bad changes, which is called 'genetic disease'.
Another thing is that Lin found that there are some emerald dragons, and if it gives birth to offspring in a very sad and melancholy situation, then its offspring may also become quite melancholy.
Regardless, their rate of evolution has increased dramatically.
However, while these creatures are evolving faster than purely random creatures, they are still slow, and they are unable to meet the rapidly changing class requirements of a division of labor.
And so the third mode of evolution was born, which is currently used only by the most powerful species, the division of labor.
i.e. 'controllability evolution.' ’
This is mainly the way the head worm creates new classes, although the head bugs have different classes, but their larvae are exactly the same, and only when they reach the worm, can you see the difference.
The larvae are very variable, and the head worm needs to change a larva if it wants to make a new class.
The queen of the head worm secretes a special substance to control the growth of the larva, usually a larva grows to about a meter and will slowly 'feather' into an infantry, but the head worm can prevent it from feathering, and then feed the larva continuously, when the larva grows to an unusually large size.
Then let it feather, and then the head worm will get a giant infantryman!
But generally speaking, it is not enlarged and it is over, because if the infantry is directly enlarged, its carapace is not suitable for this body type, and it will collapse instantly.
The head worm needs to have a basic effect on the larvae first, such as strengthening the carapace of the class, strengthening the strength of the muscles, and so on.
But this is not so simple, because the head worm relies on the 'special substance' secreted by the queen to guide the larvae to 'mutate', but what it will mutate into, the head worm itself does not know, and it needs to wait for it to become an adult before it can be observed.
Of course, this will also produce some failures, but as soon as something useful appears, the Brain Worm will immediately record it with the Orb of Record, and then make further changes based on that.
Giant classes like the Earth Splitter were born after a lot of modifications and enhancements from many head worms.
As complicated as it may seem, new classes appear much faster than both of them.
The Inca swarms directly omit this step, and they directly 'steal' the evolutionary results of other species, which leads to their incomparably faster evolutionary speed.
However, no matter which way of evolution, Lynn does not belong in their system, and Lynn's evolution is very different from them.
A qiē is from small to complex, and this will not change......
But where did the initial tininess come from? (To be continued......)
