Chapter 391 Between Scholars
The journey of the void... quite a long...
This is a certain black-and-purple tumbler, and Lynn named it the 'Lost Star' to mean that the captain was lost here...
The captain, who has no time to name this place, has built a small base next to the gunboat, which looks like a hemispherical transparent object, and inside it is placed a 'farm' composed of a large number of squares. There are many plants planted in it.
It can maintain a stable temperature here, and it also uses automatic mining machinery to start digging in a nearby place where useful minerals are found, and build more things with the excavated materials.
It seems that this virtual people can set up a kingdom of their own.
And Lin, has also developed in this place, and the microorganisms that have drilled into the ground have discovered many substances that can be absorbed... In fact, edible substances are quite common, but the most important question is how much they are in.
The nutrient levels here are too low, so the microbes are all burrowing out of the ground and starting to absorb sunlight to grow.
So far, I haven't seen any creatures. I should go out and explore. At present, Lin has found some rare and unknown structures in the rock formations here.
Lin felt a little hopeful that she might find the same structure as the teleporter and make one herself.
Although the captain didn't think so.
It just stayed in the gunboat, checking the state of the plants outside occasionally, watching movies or sleeping most of the time, and occasionally doing some research, studying the soil here and things like that.
It doesn't have any purpose, it seems to simply like to observe and study the structure of these things.
Just like another dummy.
"It's a miracle!"
scholar. Just like its title. I've been researching the pom poms thing. At present, it is very keen to study the various creatures on the pom-pom...
"How did this thing evolve? It feels incredible! How long has the ecosystem of this world been through? So many incredible creatures."
Using the equipment transported from the ship, the scholar was observing the habit of a shriveled creature, a creature of the Eastern Continent.
And before,
It has already studied a lot, and almost every time it sees a creature, it will sigh.
Especially when studying the division of labor species, it initially believed that creatures such as the Inca swarm and the head worm all belonged to Lin. However, it now finds that they and Lin are not the same creature, so they are also surprised by their appearance.
This made Lin feel a little strange, isn't there a similar creature on Xumin's cue ball?
However, it is no wonder that the virtual people generally believe that if a creature develops and grows, it will destroy the local environment due to excessive reproduction or various reasons, so that the environment of the entire tumbler becomes very poor, and the whole world should also be everywhere. are full of such creatures.
Therefore, when they first saw the jungle covered with pom-poms, they thought that there were no powerful creatures here, and they saw the army of spiral creatures. Immediately treat it as an alien.
Such judgments amount to direct destruction of themselves.
Leaving aside the dragons, the chances of a division-of-labor species destroying their living environment are too low. Generally speaking, there is such a phenomenon in the development, but a mature division of labor species will not do any harm to the environment.
Why is it mature? Knowing the size of the world is almost mature. After all, it is much simpler for a division of labor species to make any decision, and there will not be as many objections as individual creatures.
"The multicellular species here should have evolved over a billion years," the scholar said to himself while researching now: "So many strange creatures... The history of this place is much longer than our cue ball, otherwise It is impossible to produce so many intelligent creatures..."
"What are you talking about, this speed is simply slower than rolling."
Another creature also stayed near it and studied together with the dean. Through the translated troops, they could understand each other's speech, and at the same time, units such as time and weight would be automatically translated into what the other party was familiar with.
Therefore, deans often find scholars annoying.
But Lynn thinks there's a lot of fun in putting them together.
In the past, it also learned a lot of things, all of which were educated by spiral creatures, just like teaching the white skeleton dragon, which also included the knowledge of creatures.
Although it is said that the masters learn these basically to study things about the controller.
"What tumbling..." The scholars had a very respectful attitude towards the dean at first, but after knowing that it was not Lin, they changed their attitude.
"You don't keep using this strange metaphor. Are you trying to say that these creatures haven't evolved that long?"
"Of course," the dean said. "That shriveled monster, 10 million years ago, was a fish crawling on the ground, and then it became that kind of thing."
"How is this possible?" The scholar looked at the shriveled monster again, and then said, "It's impossible to evolve so fast. Could it be a mutant created by mutation?"
"What mutation?" The dean said: "It just changed from a fish to that, and slowly grew into that. It likes to grow plants, and then it mixes with plants."
Dwarfs are creatures that enter into a complex symbiotic relationship with a plant, and it seems that scholars don't think it could have arisen so quickly.
The dean didn't seem to be interested and answered casually.
"Don't you understand?" said the scholar: "Evolution is a very long process, and they require strict selection..."
"What choice?" The dean asked suspiciously: "I said they like to do this kind of thing and become like this."
"No, what you are talking about can only happen to individuals." The scholar said: "If we want to achieve group evolution, we must select excellent mutations, and this mutation is random, and only those with favorable changes will survive. , it can't be done so quickly, even if it is a fish, it will take at least 100 million years to get to this form."
The dean hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "I understand."
"It's good to understand..."
And before the scholar's words were finished, the dean continued: "Your ethnic group is randomly selected, so that's why you are so stupid."
"You..." Although the scholar betrayed his own ethnic group, at this moment it produced extreme anger...
But after a few seconds, it calmed down again and said, "I...get it."
Lin found that scholars still like to deal with problems in the usual way of thinking of virtual people.
Even if the environment is similar, there will be completely different biological mechanisms, which should be a very normal phenomenon.
But... how would the virtual people react to seeing strange creatures they have never seen before? (To be continued..)
