Chapter 483: Chapter 484 Mutually Reexisted Symbiotic Relationship

At the beginning, the habitable planet they are located on is in a blue dwarf system. Such stars have a shorter lifespan than small stars such as yellow dwarfs and red dwarfs, because their internal nuclear fusion reactions are intensified under huge masses, releasing more energy and faster fusion reactions.

Because of this, the surface of the habitable planet can receive far more star light than the earth. Under the influence of this extremely energetic environment, the color of the leaves is generally white, like crystal clear glazed products.

Collectors walking in the woods can clearly feel the heat brought by the starlight.

"My water is passing. Why don't you remind me?"

At first, I was a little depressed. The loss of water is necessary, because it is necessary to cool down my body, but in this way, I will face another problem, that is, the loss of too much water in the body, and the need to replenish water.

If I had known this, I should have installed a solid-state helium container to cool myself before I set out - I was a little depressed at first.

"Huh? Pay attention to the body temperature, didn't you say at the beginning? The blue dwarf star shines very well, which is a matter that everyone knows.

The gatherings walking in front of them showed surprise in the life field.

"Before landing, I saw that the atmosphere of this terrestrial planet was dense enough to effectively block a lot of stellar light. I didn't want to be too troublesome to go back, so I didn't transfer solid helium from sublight speed organisms."

At the beginning, I explained to my peers that at the beginning, I didn't expect anything valuable to appear on this livable planet. The idea that I didn't expect much was to confirm it early and let the collectors on the livable planet work quickly, and they could quickly return to work to continue the industrial activities of the population.

However, what I never expected at the beginning was that this habitable planet is really worth being a research object of the ethnic group, because it is too rare.

"At first, you eat some plant fruits to replenish some water. There is a water source in our destination, where you don't have to worry about the loss of water."

"You continue to lead the way."

At first, he signaled to continue, and a line of collectors moved again.

As the leading collector walked, he explained to Chu the question it had just asked not long ago.

"At the beginning, you just asked where the animals in the woods are. In fact, this period belongs to the peak of the light intensity of the stars. In order not to evaporate their water, the creatures on this planet will gather near the water source in the woods and replenish water in that place at the right time."

"If you want to replenish water, isn't it okay to rely on the plants in the woods?"

At the beginning of the puzzled question, the collectors bowed to the tentacles and answered.

"It is difficult to get water from the plants in the forest. At this time, in order to keep their water from losing, plants will pump back the body fluids from the leaves and branches and flow back into a water storage container under the ground. This part higher than the ground will enter the dehydration state of fake death. Didn't you notice it when you ate it? ? "

"It's true..."

At the beginning, I casually broke off a branch and ate it. It was indeed, as my own family said, it did not contain a little water. Although the appearance looked bright and beautiful, crystal clear, like glazed jade, it was completely dry material.

I first paid attention to understand the underlying genetic framework of the planet's creatures, but I didn't notice this, but I was a little confused at first.

"Why hasn't the water of the fruit been recycled?"

"The fruit is used for animals to eat. Of course, the water will not be pumped back. There are various reasons. Some of them are mutually beneficial and symbiotic with the parasite you just spit out. When that creature parasitizes the fruit to the host and lays eggs, it will also plant the seeds of the plant in the host. Inside, That kind of parasitic creature can't distinguish the difference between their eggs and plant seeds, so they will also be more careful with plant seeds.

The collector explained to the beginning.

"When the host dies due to an excessive amount of parasitic organisms, the seeds will absorb the nutrients of the host's body and thrive, and the parasites will also die in a large area without the nutrients provided by the host. In order to survive, they will choose to place the eggs in the buds of the seedling plants. When the buds are ripe and become fruits, it will be another. The fruit of a parasitic creature is so constantly circulating.

To put it bluntly, it is to use and be used. Parasitic organisms use the fruits of plants to ensure that they can get enough water even if they don't go to the water source. If they are hungry, they can get nutrients directly from the fruit without facing the harsh survival competition outside world.

When a creature eats the fruit, the parasitic creature enters the host from the esophagus to complete the parasitization. After a period of time, it will kill the host. The plant uses this parasitic creature to complete the long-range sowing of seeds.

This is not trust, but simply using each other to achieve their goals because of the 'benefits' they create.

"What a brainless development model."

At first, I was not very optimistic about this biological model. is too stable. The two species lose the pressure of survival under mutual dependence, and the direction of evolution will also change. Plants will evolve the fruit more seductively, and parasitic organisms will evolve more. It is easy to parasitize into the host.

The last two species will be completely inseparable from the other side. If one side destroys, the other side cannot live alone. This drawback is very obvious.

"It's true, but it can continue to this day, which is also a relatively successful way of racial survival on this planet."

"It's not a success. The lifespan of blue dwarfs is much shorter than that of yellow dwarfs and red dwarfs. When the stars enter old age, the species on this planet will also face the consequences of wasting time - the extinction of the dead."

"If we judge like that, we can't be considered a success, because in this universe, there are too many things that can destroy us, such as black holes, neutron stars, supernova explosions, vacuum decay..."

"No, you misunderstood. That's not what I'm referring to."

At the beginning, it stopped the rebuttal of the same race, and it added an answer.

"What I want to illustrate is a model of vertical development. As long as we are given enough time, we will one day develop to be able to fight against those horrible things in the universe, but they can't, nor can they be given trillion years, because they don't have a vertical development model. They Maybe it can finally rule the planet, but it will stop here and eventually become the funeral object of the star's death.

The other collectors shook their heads helplessly.

"The requirements are too high. If you develop vertically, you need wisdom as a guide, and it is difficult to give birth to wisdom."
