333 Crazy Evolver
During the Mesozoic period of the ancient times, before humans even entered the stage of history, the earth was once ruled by the "king of reptiles" dinosaurs.
This rule lasted until 65 million years ago when dinosaurs left the stage in a mass extinction.
Now, after Pandora chose the evolution direction of "hugeness", the large lizard on her planet also began to evolve at a terrifying speed:
The originally short and thick limbs turned into muscular and agile "long legs". Although the two forelimbs still looked very thin, some of the lizards that could only lie on the ground were already standing up under the support of their hind legs.
After moving from four-legged walking to two-legged walking, these animals suddenly became much faster and became vicious carnivorous dragons. Those lizards who have not evolved to this stage and still use four-legged have evolved sharp horns or grown thick bone armor on their bodies.
The herbivorous dragon tends to defend, the carnivorous dragon tends to attack, and some "giant birds" with wings have become winged dragons flying in the air. Pandora's planet entered the era ruled by dinosaurs at an astonishing speed!
While reptiles are rapidly evolving, although the plants on that planet are also evolving, their speed is obviously much slower than those of animals and are still in the primitive fern period.
In contrast, the plants on Lin Chi evolved more than one level faster than the plants on Pandora.
——In fact, plants that can survive through photosynthesis and absorption of inorganic matter are, to some extent, much stronger than animals’ vitality.
Trees have a long lifespan. Even ordinary willow trees on the roadside can live for about 150 years. Some trees can live for thousands of years, and there are even "immortal bodies" that can survive for tens of thousands of years!
It is conceivable that if this type of extremely long-lived plant has a "brain" that can be thought-provoked, it will undoubtedly become very terrifying.
The reason why plants on Earth cannot evolve complex consciousness is because the energy they obtain is not enough to support them to grow organs that can make complex thinking.
After all, maintaining thinking will consume a lot of energy.
But on this planet, the situation is obviously not much...
Lin Chi can see that the nutrients in the soil of this planet are obviously much richer than the earth's land, and the high-intensity light brought by nearby stars also makes the photosynthesis intensity of plants higher.
In addition, the groundwater resources here are also much higher than those on earth. While plants receive enough light, they don’t have to worry about withering due to loss of water.
As for those plants that like dark and damp, you can also choose wet canyons as your "hiding place". In such a unique environment, these plants that are thriving have actually evolved their thinking organs while changing rapidly!
Click.
With a light sound, abnormal changes occurred inside the branches of a fir tree.
In the originally solid tree trunk, objects with a hard shell and a bit like walnuts were grown, and then they began to expand rapidly. It seemed that some kind of semi-liquid milky white gel was stored inside, and the inside was covered with nerve-like filaments.
These tentacle-shaped nerves spread out from the small hole in the shell of the "walnut" and spread in all directions along the trunk. They quickly connected the roots, barks, branches and other parts, and even spread to each leaf.
"Is this the 'brain' of a plant?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
——In order to protect one's "thinking", some trees hide the thinking organs in the center of the trunk, while the low shrubs hide it under the soil and tangle it with the roots. The hemisphere with a hard shell, like the human brain, creates complex consciousness through internal "chemical reactions"!
Noting that the plants on Lin Chi actually evolved something similar to the "brain". The purple-haired girl raised her short legs and shook it, whispering: "This is too unscientific."
"What science are you looking for in the game?" Lin Chi said seriously, continuing to observe the green plants on his planet.
Although organs that can be thought have evolved, plants still cannot move or make sounds. Therefore, they quickly began to communicate with other nearby plants by releasing pheromones with leaves. These plants spread throughout the planet even quickly created more than a dozen different "languages" to communicate quietly in the air.
As for the content of these plants' conversations, Lin Chi, as the creator, naturally heard it clearly. If it was to be translated into human language, the content of these plants mainly chatting is actually as trivial as the chat content of the aunt in the neighborhood committee downstairs:
"The redwood over there, your roots are wrapped around mine. Can you grow to the side?"
"Why are you absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium? Where is my nutrients? My son is malnourished, okay?"
"There is plenty of water here, so everyone can find a way to move here! Don't wait to die there..."
"That little poplar is quite beautiful... It's a pity that it's a bit far away. Why are there a bunch of crooked melons and jujubes around me?"
"Who do you think is a crooked melon and jujube? Believe it or not, I will tear off your roots?"
...
——Can these plants "see" the pictures around them?
Realizing this, Lin Chi observed the trees himself, but did not find parts similar to the eyes. It is believed that they should have created a three-dimensional dynamic vision similar to radar by releasing some substances on a large scale.
As the vegetation area further expands, the roots of many trees are connected together.
Then, under the gaze of the two Creators, several large forests actually realized "communism" and began to absorb water and nutrients together...
As these trees become one, they enter a state of "prosperity and loss", and their thinking organs are also connected together, just like multiple core CPUs installed, and they begin to operate at a nearly crazy speed.
"That's OK?"
After witnessing this scene, Lin Chi was also eye-opening. The two were still observing the evolution of plants. The host's uncharacteristic voice rang again in time:
"Two Creators, a new round has begun!"
Faced with the incredible evolutionary process, the two players were particularly perfunctory at blackjack, and the final round ended with a draw of 17 points to 17 points.
However, Lin Chi and Pandora no longer care about the game, but just focused on staring at the distant planets and observing the evolution of the two planets.
In this round, the evolution direction chosen by the purple-haired girl is "wisdom", while Lin Chi chooses "body".
As Pandora made her choice, the dinosaurs on her planet improved their intelligence almost immediately, and the originally small and pitiful brain began to grow in size.
In order to support the brain's thinking, dinosaurs used some of the energy used for running and hunting in their brains. The originally strong body became slightly weaker than before.
With the joint operation of hundreds of billions of brain neurons, the dinosaurs' thinking patterns and thinking ability have also improved by leaps and bounds. They soon developed language for communication like trees, and even designed some handshakes, nods and shaking actions to express their opinions.
Then, many roars sounded on Pandora's planet. But this time, the howlings of the dinosaurs were not as meaningless as before, but became the new language for communication between them.
The two creators who are playing cards can naturally translate the dinosaur language into a form that humans can understand. However, compared with the chats with plants, the dinosaurs' speech is much more rude:
"Son, come with me and get the grass-eating dragon. Your mother is still waiting for dinner at home!"
"Tyrannosaurus Rex is here, run quickly!"
"There is a stegosaurus over there, and the chance of winning seems to be a little lower. Please retreat quickly."
"Fuck the velociraptor, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
While dinosaurs developed language, they began to try to inscribe their own words on smooth stone slabs with their pointed claws. These reptiles also realized that in order to reproduce better, it would be best to find a way to record certain information.
However, with the same evolution of consciousness, the dinosaurs on Pandora's side are obviously not as reliable as the trees on Lin Chi's side.
——Although the lifespan of dinosaurs is not short, it is far from the trees that can live for thousands of years. Most of the trees on Lin Chi are still the same as before, and the dinosaurs on Pandora have been replaced in several batches, and they are directly at the seniority of great-grandchildren.
Since newborns need to learn knowledge again, dinosaur civilization has just begun, and their civilization has developed extremely slowly. Except for the inheritance of language and a few words, there is basically no difference between other aspects and the previous round.
In this case, the lifespan advantages of trees are reflected.
The big forests that connect the roots together have become supercomputers operating at high speeds, thinking at a terrifying speed.
Since a large number of trees in the forest almost turned into a whole, their survivability has been increased by another level. Even in the face of a super storm, they will only lose dozens of trees at most, and it will not have much impact on the whole.
Not long after the first connected forest appeared, forests in each area began to be connected together. Hundreds of "supercomputers" that can perform photosynthesis were created everywhere on this planet.
As the trees' consciousnesses began to integrate, different forests began to communicate with each other. What's more peculiar is that they actually selected a specific "spokesman" to convey information to other nearby forests.
Under the observation of the two Creators, a coniferous forest composed mainly of spruce began to convey information to the broad-leaved forest several thousand meters away:
"Hello, are you here?"
"Hello, are you here?"
"Hello……"
The "spokesman" located on the edge of the coniferous forest constantly emits pheromones and uses the help of wind to convey the information. Then, it soon received a response from the broadleaf forest:
"No, get out."
"Are these guys actually kidding?" Pandora widened her golden eyes in surprise.
The slender branches of the spruce swayed in the wind, and ignored the ridicule of the broad-leaved forest next to it, and just sent another message:
"Our territory is about to collide together. Why not leave a boundary in the middle. We don't sow seeds here, how about it?"
"It seems that they not only learned to joke, but also learned to draw out borders." Lin Chi said with a smile.
The evolution speed of these trees even exceeded his expectations, which surprised Pandora, who was still suspected of the plant's inability to win.
There is no doubt that if plants continue to evolve, they will definitely build their own civilization faster than dinosaurs!
Thinking of this, Lin Chi raised his eyebrows proudly and continued to concentrate on observing the communication between the two forests:
"It's okay to draw a boundary line, but can you retreat a little?" Broadleaf forest responded through pheromone: "The land here is not nutritious enough, so it's not fair."
"Friends, you chose to take root there. What does it have to do with us?" Coniferous Lin was obviously opposed and even began to mock him: "Your child is not well-developed. Do you blame my child for eating too well?"
Even if we were ridiculed, the evergreen broad-leaved forest still refused to give up this condition: "Okay, okay, we are almost finished with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If this continues, we will die..."
"What do you have to do with me if you die?" Zhiyelin still cares: "When you talk about serious matters, do you accept the conditions of the boundary line?"
For trees that cannot be moved, there are naturally no equivalents such as money. In addition to survival, these trees do not have the same needs as humans, but also have spiritual life needs.
For these plants, helping other ethnic groups is of no benefit, so the coniferous forests are so decisively rejecting the proposals of the party.
However, the broad-leaved forest that will die sooner or later continue, will not give up fighting for resources in the soil.
"Since you are unwilling to give in, we can only force it to rob..." The broad-leaved forest sent a dangerous signal, and the green leaves rustled under the breeze.
"Ha, do you have the ability to come here? Do you think you can beat us?" Coniferous Lin mocked.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chi suddenly realized something and murmured to himself: "Is this a war going to break out?"
Pandora didn't say anything, but just stared at the two forests on Lin Chi's planet.
Under the observation of the "Sky Eye" of the two Creators, the first war that broke out between plants in history... finally began.
