Chapter 34 Extracting Materials
[Material Library: Archaeoptera, Pumono Scorpion, Small Shield Dragon, Zephyr Dragon, Avian Bird, Bird Bird, Bird Bird, .......]
Looking at the names of the fossils in the material library, the earth line fell into a tangle.
Archaeopteracian is a late Triassic, relatively primitive dinosaur, with a body length of about 1.5 meters, and his fossil should be 1.6 or 1.7 meters, and I don't know if it is a large individual or even an extreme individual.
As an early member of several families of sauropods, it is one of the early species of dinosaurs, which is difficult to classify, and can even be said to be the basic sister evolutionary branch of dinosaur sauropods.
Equally difficult to belong to are the eating habits, because they have the sharp fangs of carnivores, and also have the teeth of herbivorous dinosaurs such as Brachiosaurus Diplodocus, which are not sure whether they are carnivorous or omnivorous, and may even be herbivorous.
Of course, according to his habits, the habit of eating is not determined by omnivorous habits, and this archaeoptranus is an omnivorous label.
Bipedal dinosaurs generally walked faster than quadruped dinosaurs of the same size, but, according to research, as an early member, the body structure of Archaeopterasaurus may not have been able to support its long-term bipedal walking, and occasionally it needed to use forelimbs to assist walking, and the forelimbs were relatively developed......
The size of the digging dragon is about 2 meters, and it is possible to be a little bigger or smaller.
Because he was not sure about the specific type of fossil, he deliberately selected those dinosaurs that walked on two legs but had relatively developed forelimbs to find, and the digging was herbivorous, he barely managed to distinguish the teeth, and the result was .....
This one wasn't what he wanted.
Pumono scorpion, the public is more familiar with the common name is lung scorpion, a Carboniferous creature, the length of the snout anus is about 70 cm, oh, it is literal, the length from the mouth to the excretory hole, not counting the tail length, this only counts the pliers and tail length, the total length is about 1.6 meters.
The pumono scorpion is a creature that lives near water bodies such as Carboniferous swamps, and may burrow under plant debris, so it is not likely to burrow.
However, the scorpions of this period have fully adapted to life on land, and already have early book lungs, as well as sensory organs, such as ctenoids and suture sensory organs for sensory vibration.
If I remember correctly, I gave the lung scorpion [Land Creature], [Chelicera], [Stinger], [Swamp Adaptation], [Agility], [Exoskeleton], [Vibration Perception], ......
For the rest, it's good to say that [Vibration Perception] should be a good label for the ground line.
The underground environment lacks light, the visual organs are of little use, and many arthropods have poor vision, and the sensory organs that can bring the ability to perceive vibrations are the main way for many arthropods to perceive.
Of course, the world has a special, vision-like way of perceiving energy, and vision is useful even if there is no light.
What's more, an environment without light should be rare except underground, even at night, it is only a lack of light rather than no light, and the visual organ is still needed.
However, if you want to protect the fossil colony, you need to arrange a group of guards who live underground for a long time.
Originally, he was going to get the label from the black-scaled kobold, but after thinking about it, instead of thinking about picking the label from other materials, it would be better to start making a stable hatchery guard model with creatures that are suitable for the underground environment.
This is also his previous plan, to make an evolutionary branch with dinosaur and arthropod structures, to make a population type.
However, speaking of which, the Carboniferous lung scorpion or the Silurian scorpion, which is more efficient in breathing?
The Carboniferous period is known to be a period of high oxygen content, and various arthropods became larger, even in species with low oxygen exchange efficiency.
But this can be classified as a good environment, and it is difficult to say whether its own hardware efficiency is high.
Other materials, the little shield dragon is the ancestor of the ankylosaurus, and there is a body of armor on its body, although it begins to stack armor, but the speed is still quite fast.
As for the eating habits, it doesn't have fangs like the archaeoptera, only leaf-like teeth, and it looks like a vegetarian, so what do you need to say?
He glanced at the small shield dragon and the pumono scorpion again, and said that the small shield dragon could be used as the basic group for the evolution of arthropods?
Although the body length of this small shield dragon material is 1.3 meters, the tail length is particularly long, and the ratio of body to tail can reach about 1:1.5.
Seems like a good fit?
After thinking about it for a moment, he turned his gaze to the Zephyr Dragon.
Zephyrnosaurus, who doesn't know this kind of dinosaur and likes to associate it literally, may think that it is some kind of dinosaur that evolved into a bird and in the direction of flight, or even that it may be a pterosaur or something.
I had heard the name of this dinosaur and had the impression that it was ......
He immediately flipped through the illustrated book and looked at the picture.
This is a bipedal ornithischian dinosaur with a fossil estimate of about 1.7 meters in length.
[Zephyrnosaurus (original): Prismatic dinosaurs, burrowing dinosaurs that lived in the Cretaceous period. 】
Burrowing!
The ground line immediately looked at the label.
Life Lv 2, Terrestrial Animal Lv 2, Dinosaur Lv 1, Herbivorous Lv 1, Cave Dwelling Lv 1, Excavation Lv 1, Solo Walker Lv 1
[Herbivorous Lv1: Alert +5%.]
Food and health energy conversion can only be done using plant materials.
Plant material conversion efficiency and cap increased by 5%.
- "Compared to the prey that will resist and fight back, the prey that will not resist will be easier to obtain, but the energy that a plant can bring is lower than that of meat, and it needs to eat more." ”】
[Cave Lv1: When in a relatively small cave environment, +5% defense and +5% vigilance.]
Each time it fights an enemy, it will re-dig in another location or choose an existing cave or tunnel to live in.
- "A place where you can contain your body, but it is not easy for the enemy to directly discover you, does not mean that it is safe. ”】
[Mining Lv. 1: In a soil-rock environment, the individual holding this tag will create a mini-crypt or a tunnel after one turn or two.]
- "The underground is not necessarily safe, and those who dig burrows are not necessarily to hide, and they may also be predators looking for food. ”】
[Caveman] and [Digging] are tags that can be linked, and if the feeding is a carnivorous predator tag, there may even be a tag like [Ambush], such as some kind of spider.
Although I didn't get the materials for the digging dragon, the Zephyr dragon can do it.
However, he couldn't help but have some difficulty in choosing.
Should we choose the small shield dragon as the basal group of dinosaurs for arthropod evolution, or should we choose Zephyrist?
Of course, theoretically, you can have them all, the small shield dragon is specialized as a defense and guard, and the Zephyr dragon can take the offensive evolution route of active attack + tool dragon.
But now he doesn't have many resources to invest.
