Chapter 452 Evolving Insect Eggs
The communication channel fell silent.
Chen Fan's words had a great impact on Hong Shi beside him, and Isa and Gao Yuan in the cockpit of the starship.
"Release the information disturbance contained in the light stone?"
After a long time, Isa's voice was heard in the communication channel: "I remember... information disturbance should not be of any benefit to organisms, right?"
"Yes." Redstone raised his hand with a complicated expression and swept it across the empty air, as if touching something invisible to the naked eye. "In Academician Wang's research, even if there is no information disturbance that carries [pollution], it will still bring unnecessary burden to the thinking organs of organisms."
"Excessive information disturbance can even directly lead to brain death of organisms."
"Not to mention those information disturbances that carry [pollution]. The TE913 research vessel had an accident because of this thing."
Isa, who was in the cockpit of the starship, was moved: "I remember... When we were in the Varela Star Forest, we also encountered a similar situation. Only Chen Fan could withstand the strong information disturbance near the source of information interference."
"If that's the case, why did the giant scorpion do this?"
Isa's voice was full of confusion: "Don't they worry that their young will die from the information disturbance of the light stone?"
"This..."
"Who knows?" Chen Fan shrugged helplessly and joked, "I'm not a giant scorpion, how can I know what those scorpions are thinking?"
"However, one thing is basically certain. Since the giant scorpion has spent a lot of effort to find light stones and laid these light stones in the hatching tower, this controllable information disturbance must be related to the hatching of the larvae!"
"Perhaps, appropriate information disturbance is a necessary condition for the hatching of larvae?" Hongshi frowned slightly and made a guess, "Just like factors such as temperature and humidity?"
"There is a certain possibility."
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully, then raised his hand and scratched his steel head wrapped in a mechanical exoskeleton: "Speaking of which, the environment around the larvae when hatching should have a significant impact on the organism, right?"
"Just like some reptiles, their gender is determined by the temperature during hatching." Chen Fan racked his brains to recall his shallow knowledge of biology.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
"Hongshi, you say..."
He stared at the squirming eggs in front of him with wide eyes, swallowing hard: "Is it possible for a race that has lived in weak information disturbance since childhood to evolve means of information interference?"
After this, even Hongshi could not remain calm.
She shook her head, nodded, and finally gave a vague answer in a very uncertain tone: "This... involves material information technology, it shouldn't be so easy, right?"
"Think about it, even the Human Union hasn't mastered the information interference technology yet..."
Although he said so, Hongshi's eyebrows still showed a hint of sadness.
The universe is so big, who knows what kind of creatures will evolve - in the past, who would have thought that a scorpion could evolve the ability to control dimensions? !
"..."
Chen Fan didn't speak, and the communication channel returned to silence again.
"No, that's not right..." As if he had thought of something, Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head while muttering to himself, "We may have missed a condition..."
"What did you say?" Hongshi subconsciously asked Chen Fan, "What condition?"
"Distance!"
Chen Fan gave a very brief answer.
The next second.
Before Hongshi could react, Chen Fan suddenly turned around, and with the help of the individual propulsion system, he went straight to the depths of the incubation tower!
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Hongshi shuddered suddenly and quickly followed his footsteps: "Chen Fan! Where do you want to go?!"
"Verify a guess!"
As he said that, Chen Fan once again accelerated the speed of "sinking"!
"Damn..." Hongshi glanced at the investigator starship not far away, and then looked at Chen Fan who was gradually disappearing in the depths of the incubation tower, with a rare look of anxiety in her eyes.
She gritted her teeth, gave up chasing Chen Fan, and turned directly to the investigator starship next to her.
Swish! As
soon as the hatch was closed, Hongshi gave an urgent order to the ship's main brain:
"Main brain!"
"Lock on Chen Fan's coordinates and catch up with him!"
...
The speed of the exoskeleton armor is naturally not comparable to that of the investigator starship.
Although Chen Fan set out nearly a minute earlier, the starship caught up with Chen Fan a few seconds later.
To be precise, it was Chen Fan who took the initiative to stop "sinking".
Swish!
The hatch suddenly opened, and seeing Chen Fan standing in front of the insect eggs safely, Hongshi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, Hongshi realized a problem-compared with before, the size of these insect eggs in front of him is much larger!
When they first entered the hatching tower, the insect eggs were just ellipsoids more than two meters long and resembled rice grains.
But now, these insect eggs have unknowingly become more than ten meters long behemoths!
As the depth increases, the size of the insect eggs in the hatching tower is also increasing, and correspondingly, the size of the hatched giant scorpions will probably also increase! !
The change in the strength of the insect eggs that Chen Fan first mentioned was presented very intuitively in front of Hongshi - but in Chen Fan's initial guess, the insect eggs at the top of the tower had the highest strength and potential.
Hongshi calmed down and controlled the exoskeleton armor to come to Chen Fan's side.
Before she had time to speak, Chen Fan, who had remained silent, took the lead and told her a piece of news that shocked her heart.
"I have carefully checked, and the larvae hatched from this egg already have organs to control dimensions."
Chen Fan's voice was a little hoarse in the communication channel: "If it is allowed to grow freely, it will be enough to grow into a 10,000-meter-class giant scorpion that can freely control dimensions."
"In addition... it's not just this one egg."
Chen Fan slowly turned his head and looked at the huge spiral pillars and countless eggs on them: "All the eggs in this area are breeding larvae with the same ability."
"This..."
Hongshi stopped suddenly and looked at the spiral pillars around him following Chen Fan's gaze.
Looking at the endless spiral column, Hongshi murmured in a difficult tone: "How many eggs are there here?"
"This machine preliminarily estimates that this layer of the hatching tower can accommodate 150 spiral columns. Although the scale of the eggs has expanded several times compared to before, there are still more than one million eggs attached to each spiral column." The electronic synthesis voice of Yi came in the communication channel, "If all the eggs in this layer are successfully hatched..."
"150 million?!" Hongshi finally couldn't help but let out a suppressed exclamation, "And they are all 10,000-meter-level giant scorpions that have mastered dimensional technology?!"
She looked at the surrounding spiral columns and densely packed large eggs with horror.
At this moment, the fear in her heart almost reached the extreme!
What is the concept of 150 million 10,000-meter-level giant scorpions?
Let alone the Xinaluo civilization, even the investigator starships and scientific research ships can't withstand this scale of encirclement and suppression!
A large number of ants can bite an elephant to death!
Not to mention the powerful starry sky giant scorpion!
The most fatal point...
they are not in the bottom of the hatching tower now!
There was at least 2,000 kilometers of altitude under their feet! !
As if sensing the movement of Hongshi looking deeper into the hatching tower, Chen Fan's voice continued: "Oh, now let me tell you the second bad news."
"Compared with just now, the information disturbance intensity of this layer has almost doubled, and accordingly, the giant scorpion eggs have also changed."
"You should know that according to the previous anatomical information, the proportion of meaningless blocks in the body of a hundred-meter-class giant scorpion reached 70%, and now, in this batch of scorpion eggs, the meaningless blocks in the larvae are only 50%."
"Although we don't know the principle, we can still make a very simple inference-this information disturbance may promote the evolution of scorpion eggs, or... perfection."
"This is similar to the high-dimensional information receiving tower of [Su Zheng]." Chen Fan took a deep breath, "It's just that the high tower built by [Su Zheng] receives the signal of the broadcast civilization. The signal strength at the top of the tower is the highest, and its degree of transformation of the organism is also the strongest; while the giant scorpion hatching tower receives the disturbance information from the light stone at the bottom of the tower. Because of this, the closer the eggs are to the bottom of the tower, the stronger their potential and degree of evolution!"
"Wait, wait!" Hongshi quickly captured the most critical information, "You just said... there are still 50% meaningless blocks in these larvae? Even if they have evolved organs to control dimensions?!" "
Well, this is the third bad news."
Chen Fan nodded silently: "If my speculation is correct, as the information disturbance increases, there may be scorpion eggs with more powerful potential below."
"That is what I told you before... the giant scorpion that masters information interference technology."
Hongshi lost his voice.
"Isn't there any good news?"
"That's not the case. Strictly speaking, there is still good news." Under Hongshi's horrified eyes, Chen Fan raised his hand and gently patted the large insect eggs in front of him like patting a watermelon, "Look, this thing is much stronger than we thought." "The
huge size plus the tougher egg shell, I estimate that these large eggs should take a longer time to hatch. "
"Looking at the current situation... this batch of eggs will take a long time to mature."
"... Next time, remember to put the good news first." Hongshi breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging high, fell back to the ground in an instant.
She regained her usual calm demeanor: "This... have you told Academician Wang about it?"
"What was her reaction?"
"According to Academician Wang's nature, do we have to pick some experimental samples?"
Chen Fan turned sideways and stretched out his hand to call up a deep blue holographic interface: "The report has just been completed, but Academician Wang seems to be concentrating on studying the light stone, so he has not responded to my message yet."
"Wait a little longer."
Chen Fan raised his hand to dispel the holographic interface, turned around and "floated" towards the investigator starship parked behind: "Let's go to the bottom floor of the incubation tower first."
"I want to see what these giant scorpions can evolve into..."
"Then what?"
Hongshi, who had received too much information in a short period of time, felt a little dizzy and asked subconsciously.
"Then?" Chen Fan turned and glanced at Hongshi, seeming to be very surprised by her question. "Collect the light stones as planned, and pull out the activated dark matter transmission pipeline here."
"As the saying goes, we must uproot the grass."
"Since we are here, we can't just let these scorpion eggs grow normally, right?" ps
