The evolution of organisms in the "cradle" is completely unorthodox.

Life here does not follow the principles of "evolution" because of the external interference of the "fire chasers".

Every species on each planet is "pinched" by their own hands like clay men, and from the very beginning it is the final form of evolution.

Clues can be found in the paleontology of the "light-chasing" civilization, the fossils they excavated, the ancient ones can be traced back to hundreds of millions of years ago, and the younger ones can be traced back tens of millions of years, without exception, they all maintain a very similar form to the current living organisms.

There are no catastrophic geological activities, the planetary environment is unique, life does not need to evolve to adapt, and the ecological environment has remained the same from beginning to end.

Also due to the external influence of the "fire chaser", there is also the singleness of life forms.

It seems that because the "fire chasers" only consider the creation of living things from the perspective of "necessity", except for the largest proportion of plants, the largest proportion of the remaining creatures on the planet are mammals.

The rest of the classified creatures are either extremely rare or simply none, and the created "Gaia Planet" will not have an ecological collapse due to the lack of a certain kind of creature.

Here, the vast majority of plants are both "decomposers" and "producers", and they hardly need external forces to reproduce.

And on each planet, there will be a "superlative" creature that has been created to serve as the main body of civilization towards the starry sky.

It is difficult to understand the criteria by which the "Fire Chasers" put their civilizations, and it is likely that they simply recreated the civilization of the "previous era" here.

The "light-chasing" species look very similar to the large moth, but they are basically inherently insect-related.

They do not have an exoskeleton, their respiratory system is extremely developed, they are homeotherms, and their mode of reproduction is viviparous.

Although they have many hands and feet, these limbs are extremely complex, and the ends are divided into appendages that are as dexterous as fingers.

The most similar thing to insects is their mouthparts that feed almost only on fluids, and their compound eyes, which they don't use much anymore.

If Li Wenyuan were to evaluate it, he would feel that the species that "chased the light" was like a monster synthesized by some mad scientist, and it was a miracle that it did not die because of self-collapse.

However, perhaps because of the ridiculously high genetic attainments of the "Fire Chasers", the "Light Chasers" did not show any discomfort, they were extremely healthy, and the average life expectancy of the "Light Chasers" was about 400 years old in the past era before the Battle Royale.

Longevity is an essential trait for creatures in almost all cradle galaxies.

As a result, when they learned about another life form from five million light-years away, it was difficult for most people to understand it.

“…… This...... Can a creature born in this way still be considered the original one? ”

Some scientists showed an incredulous look when they learned about the "completely metamorphosed" developed creatures.

Complete metamorphosis is one of the growth stages of some insects, at the end of this stage, the insect will form a pupa and undergo a radical transformation of itself in the pupa to become a creature that is almost completely different from the original appearance and habits.

In a way, the life after pupation can be regarded as another species, and it is almost impossible to see the resemblance to the larvae before the pupa.

No civilized race in the galaxy has ever gone through this process, but that doesn't prevent scientists from discussing it.

This is a question similar to "whether uploading consciousness is equivalent to committing suicide": are pre-pupation and post-pupation still the same life?

According to the definition of some scientists, this does not count, because the pupae are not life, not even the form of life, but just a pot of thick soup full of a lot of organic matter.

In a philosophical sense, life at this stage is actually dead, and the life that is born later is "grown" from the corpse of the original life.

The current "light-chasing" civilization is facing the same problem.

One of their biologists came up with the crazy idea of mimicking this life birth process, having the entire civilization undergo a "complete metamorphosis", and in the process washing away the original genes that led to destruction.

"You're crazy! This is not the same as using genetic means to remove that gene, what is the difference between this and suicide? ”

There was a strong objection to this, and even the eyes of the biologist changed a lot, as if he was looking at an eschatological who wanted to drag everyone to suicide.

And the biologist also responded very calmly: "There is still a difference, if complete metamorphosis is possible, then at least we can grow into a new life, instead of dying suddenly because of genetic collapse." ”

“…… No, I can't possibly agree! That's suicide! There must be something else! ”

There was soon a lot of arguing in the council, some people objected, but some people agreed, because as long as the genes in their bodies could be removed, then at least the "cosmic contraction" against them would stop, and as long as the "fire chaser" also disappeared, then their crisis would be resolved.

The leader of "chasing the light" is also worried about this matter, this method of "turning into a cocoon" he thinks is indeed a feasible method, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart, is he still him after breaking the cocoon?

And Li Wenyuan, who learned all this through the "listening terminal" connected to the electronic virus over there, also had his thoughts.

“…… Is it just genetic? The 'Fire Chasers' should have no choice, most of them are locked in some kind of direct 'existence itself', and there will be no second way to do it except for their demise. ”

"But 'chasing the light'...... Will they be willing to accept the 'Mechanical Ascension'? ”

When he realized that the problem of "chasing light" was just the crucial gene in his body, Li Wenyuan thought of this solution.

After all, genes are still physical things, and as long as you abandon the physical body and embrace metal, then this problem will not exist.

“…… It's just that it's not easy to get people to accept the mechanical ascension, it depends on which method of 'suicide' they prefer......"

So Li Wenyuan passed on the introduction of "mechanical ascension" to the past, and it happened to be known to the people who were arguing in the entire conference room.

And after carefully reading the entire content of "Mechanical Ascension", everyone present felt a chill, and what they were thinking at this time was:

"Did the civilizations of other galaxies play so big?"

After learning that there is also such a "canning therapy" as "mechanical ascension", they look at the "cocoon" gaze, and they no longer seem to be so resistant.
