How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 123: Cognition

   "Woo-"

   The buzzing sound like a siren sounded in the auditory system of aliens in the colony. It was an alarm before the ‘crack sound’ was activated, which also meant that the flood was coming again.

   "Oh, it's another ‘pop sound’."

   "Sir, I think it will be safer for us to rush to the shelter. If we continue to stay here, in case..."

   "What's the panic? When the'pop sound' is activated, Hong Chao can't rush in."

   Marvin looked unhappy, and waved his hand impatiently, as if driving away annoying flies.

   But Marvin's work didn't last long, so he stopped.

   The flesh of the test subject burst into a pair of disgusting pastes that needed to be coded.

   "...I just wanted to tell you that the protection against ‘popping’ in the laboratory has not been completed."

   "Didn't I tell you to do it more than ten days ago?"

   Marvin stared at the assistant slightly sullenly, and while hesitating, the assistant explained the whole story.

   "The Governor, the Governor's Mansion said that the building materials are insufficient, so...so..."

   There is no need for an assistant to clarify, Marvin also understands what is going on, it is nothing more than the governor who is putting pressure on her.

   She sighed lightly and shook her head, but she was no longer as angry as she was just now.

   "In this case, take a break."

   "After a while, the popping is over, you go to the cold room to get another experimental product out, and work continues."

   Marvin dragged his tired body towards the outside of the laboratory, but he heard the assistant's nervous words again.

   "Then, that, the Governor's side, yes, I want me to give you a letter."

   said, the assistant tremblingly took out the white letter from the side collar of his clothes and handed it to Marvin who was about to leave.

   Marvin looked slightly unhappy.

   "Didn't I tell you not to collect stuff?"

   "Yes, but that's the governor, I'm just an inconspicuous little person..."

   The assistant was crying. He regrets now why he took this job in the first place, and finally understands what he will face after taking over the job.

No wonder the wages and salaries in the original agreement were so high, no wonder Sir Marvin’s assistant was like a product that was constantly replaced on the assembly line, no wonder when the former assistant left his job, he would show the look of seeing the savior—the assistant wanted to cry. Thinking without tears, he could have expected the refusal of his boss, and then he himself was put on various shoes by the Governor's Mansion.

   However, Marvin’s next answer was beyond the assistant’s expectation

"let's go."

"Uh……"

  The assistant thought he had heard it wrong.

   Seeing the assistant's dumbfoundedness, Marvin repeated it again impatiently.

   "Let's go, do I have to say it again?"

   "Oh...oh! Yes! I will prepare a car for you, Sir!"

   With full of doubts, the assistant hurriedly ran out of the laboratory where they were talking, leaving Marvin alone.

   Marvin stared straight at the experimental product that had shattered a pool of fluid under the blast, fell into contemplation unconsciously, and muttered to himself.

   "It's so strange, why is this?"

   "Why did the monsters that attacked us changed after that meteor shower? There are none of the previous monsters."

   "The time interval between them is so short, it's like an appointment in advance, it is really unacceptable to say that it is a coincidence."

   "Are the meteorites brought by those monsters?"

   "No, it shouldn't be. In that case, this colony would have fallen long ago."

   "Then, is it awakening? Because of that meteorite rain, completely awakened the living organisms sleeping on this planet?"

"From the perspective of the ecological circle on this planet, the problem is very clear. The size of'Roshan' is too large as a creature. The largest creature on the home planet is only one-half the size of'Roshan'. ."

"And this kind of creature itself actually emits heat constantly. This should be an ability evolved to fight the severe cold. The observation results of this parent star are consistent long ago. A planet completely covered by ice and snow, but now there is no ice or snow. And the climate is suitable, it should be because the number of'Roshan' has reached the level of attention to the influence of the planet's climate."

"It is by no means a simple ecological circle to breed such a complex organism. The evolution of organisms is a gradual evolution step by step. Because of the external environment, it changes itself and adapts to the environment to survive, so it breeds complex organisms. The ecosystem must be a more complicated ecosystem."

   "Before the planet was frozen, there was a major explosion of species for a period of time, and the effect of this explosion was far beyond the parent star, making the species on this planet evolve to a higher level."

As soon as the idea of ​​   Marvin came into being, I couldn't suppress it and began to dream about it.

   "There was such a period of time on this planet. During that period of time, the phenomenon of continuous outbreak of species appeared frequently, and various types of creatures were everywhere."

   "They soon dominated the ocean~lightnovelpub.net~ dominated the sky..."

   Marvin stopped thinking about this, and she found that one thing didn't make sense-the creatures of this planet dominated the sea and the sky, why didn't they only dominate the land?

   However, Marvin soon thought of a possibility.

   "Maybe, there was no land at all at that time, or there were only small scattered islands, so the species on this planet did not evolve completely terrestrial organisms."

   "The first monsters should belong to the lowest level of the food chain. They are not seen now. It is probably because the predators who feed on those monsters have been ‘awakened’ in the ocean, and the number has stabilized."

   "Fortunately, we only need to face the very territorial biota of'Roshan'..."

   Marvin's pushing stopped again, and she found that there was one thing that didn't make sense, and that was the temperature.

   The distance between the planet and the star itself is not enough to maintain a higher temperature. In other words, the freezing of the planet’s surface is normal, and the temperature above the freezing point is an anomaly.

To understand it in reverse, during a certain period of time on this planet, there was an abnormal temperature increase on the surface. This may be something or the result of an event, and this phenomenon is also very likely to be a stimulus. The root of this planet's biological explosion.

   "...I seem to have discovered something extraordinary."

   "No, we can't just assert that right now. This is just a guess, and we need to find actual proof to make this kind of guess."

   At this moment, the assistant entered from the door and said respectfully.

   "Sir, your car to the banquet is ready."

"Ok."

   Marvin recovered from the floating thoughts, she nodded.
