Chapter 528: Chapter 529 Animal and Plant War
"The amount of resources needed to lay the rhizome under the ground is very large, but if too much liquid water on the surface is obtained, it will affect the stability of the ecosystem. Therefore, I propose to obtain hydrogen and oxygen from the strata to produce water elements as the main source of acquisition."
"Oxygen can be obtained directly from the air. The planet is extremely rich in oxygen, but we can\'t guarantee that there will be rich hydrogen in the formation."
"Hydrogen can be obtained from outside the planet. We build Yuntai creatures and send transport creatures to gaseous giants to carry a large amount of hydrogen resources back."
"Acknowledging the plan, but this can only be used as a supplementary plan for the lack of stratigraphic hydrogen resources. The colonization of the population in this stellar system requires a large amount of resources. If it is not necessary, try not to go outside the planet to obtain resources."
"I agree."
After simply formulating the expansion plan of the rhizome under the ground, the thick and long main rhizome is conceived. After reaching 50,000 meters to the ground, the one-sided vertical layout is displayed, forming a turfed mesh structure under the ground.
Such expansion is not once or twice. Collectors have quite experienced in this field, which assists their rapid expansion in the ground.
There are multiple combustion chambers in the formation. These combustion chambers regularly draw oxygen from the surface and then pour the rhizome into the hydrogen obtained from the formation. After combining the two, they are burned to obtain not only a large amount of heat energy as energy, but also a large amount of water resources.
Unconsciously, the collectors quickly laid the rhizome network all over the bottom of the planet, and the rhizome was staggered, replacing a stratigraphic structure of the planet.
Subsequently, the collectors began to extend vertically, one facing the surface and the other facing the core, extending the rhizome vertically in two directions.
In the process of expansion, something attracted the attention of the collectors. They found some spherical objects in the deeper layer of 10,000 meters, that is, about 60,000 meters from the ground.
"What are these?"
"It seems to be... eggs?"
"Be confident and change the question to affirmation. This is the egg of some kind of creature."
"If it were ordinary stones, there would not be these complex small structures in these balls. They were restored along the internal veins. The inside of the balls was obviously the embryo fossil of some kind of creature."
The size of these spherical fossils is very small, which is probably the size of a human thumb nail cover. It is precisely because these egg fossils are small enough that they can remain intact under a high pressure of 60,000 meters underground.
"The carbon-copper element is the basic skeleton, interesting biological design, and the group has no material idea in this regard."
"These things have basically confirmed that there are animals at some time on this planet."
"But now these animals are extinct. What causes them to become extinct?"
The collectors were puzzled. After the root and stems were laid up a surveillance network for the surface, they determined that there were no animals on the planet, but the fossils also showed that there were animals on the surface, which meant that there was an animal extinction event on the planet that led to their extinction.
"I don\'t know, these fossils don\'t leave us any more information. The lack of understanding of them makes it impossible for us to simply reverse their causes of death from their chemical composition."
"But it is certain that it should be the extinction of animals caused by a large-scale or even global disaster. We can try to find the answer from the changes in the formation."
The first thing that the collectors thought of was the extinction of animals caused by terrible natural disasters such as asteroid impact and super-giant volcanic eruptions.
"That\'s where the dividing line between animals and plants. There are only fossils of plants above this layer. According to the half-life, the distance from our current time is between 100 million and 150 million years."
"There is no obvious difference between the two strata."
Compared with the upper and lower regions, no obvious segmented traces were found. If it is a global natural disaster, it is bound to leave traces in the strata.
But it didn\'t."That\'s strange..."
"The reduction of animal fossils is gradual, perhaps not the result of large-scale disasters. It is more like being eliminated by natural selection."
Some collectors proposed, but it was soon questioned by the same clan.
"Elimination? Who eliminated them? There are only plants on this planet..." When this family member of the same family suddenly reacted, "You don\'t want to say that plants have eliminated them, do you?"
"Is this possible? The natural subjective initiative of plants is weaker than that of animals, so plants can only be producers of the food chain rather than consumers. Plants on this planet are also not as subjective as animals. How can they have the upper hand in biological competition?
The collector explained his idea, "Maybe it\'s because of the fire."
"Sea of fire?"
The high oxygen concentration on this planet is terrible. The plants are still oily plants. It can be said that they are plant-shaped gasoline. It only takes a spark to attract hundreds of kilometers of fires.
Animals are indeed much stronger than plants in terms of subjective initiative. However, no matter how strong animals are, they are no stronger than flames. The basic unit of genes will be denatured and decomposed in a high temperature environment. This is not a problem that can be solved by natural selection and evolution, but needs to be specialized. Targeted cooling design.
Therefore, the burning of a large area of flame on the planet will destroy everything. It is useless to hide in the water. The liquid water will be boiled, and the sky will not, because the heat of the flame is going up. If it is not for the super-large-scale perspective like the collectors, it is far from enough to have the ability to fly in the sea of fire. Live.
Considering this, there is a reasonable explanation for the extinction of animals.
"Yes, large-scale flames are catastrophic for animals and plants. I think animals are dying in the frequent sea of fire."
After a brief thought, other collectors also agreed with the idea of the same race.
"What you said is reasonable. If the environmental factor of the sea of fire is added, the competition between animals and plants is no longer more subjectively active than who, but more tenacious than whose vitality. Obviously, animals are far less than plants in this respect, so they are eliminated."
100 million to 150 million years ago on this planet, there were simple-structured animals that feed on plants, but a certain plant on the planet mutated and evolved into the ability to burn themselves. As a result, plants set off a fire and forced their natural enemies to destroy - plants defeated animals.
In front of the flames, the competition is no longer the two races, who are more effective, no matter how strong they are, they are no stronger than the flames. What they are competing for is the ability to survive, who has more birth and who develops faster.
Obviously, on this planet, plants in these aspects have completely abused animals.
