At first, the habitable planet they were on was in a blue dwarf system. This type of star has a shorter life span than small stars such as yellow dwarfs and red dwarfs, because the nuclear fusion reaction in its interior is affected by its massive mass. Intensified, more energy is released, and the reaction rate of fusion is faster.

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

　　The collectors walking among the trees can clearly feel the heat brought by the light from the stars.

　　 "My moisture is passing, why don't you remind me?"

　　 I was a little depressed at the beginning. The loss of water is necessary because I have to cool my body. But in this case, I face another problem, that is, excessive loss of body water and the need to replenish water.

　　 I knew this a long time ago, I should install a solid helium container for cooling down before I set off-I thought a little depressed at first.

　　 "Huh? Pay attention to the body temperature, isn't it what you said at the beginning? Blue dwarfs have very strong light. This is something everyone knows."

　　The gatherers walking in front of them showed strange emotions in the life field.

　　 "Before landing, I saw that the atmosphere of this terrestrial planet was dense enough, and it should be able to effectively shield a lot of stellar light. I didn't want to be too troublesome when I went back, so I didn't transfer solid helium from subluminal organisms."

I explained to my people that I didn’t expect anything of value on this habitable planet at the beginning. It didn’t expect much from it. The idea was to confirm early and let the collectors on the habitable planet work quickly. , I can quickly return to work and continue ethnic industrial activities.

　　 However, what Chu never expected is that this habitable planet is really worthy of being a research object for ethnic groups, because it is so rare.

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

　　 "You continue to lead the way."

　　 At first signaled to continue marching, a group of collectors moved again.

　　The lead gatherer walked, explaining to Chu Chu the question it asked not long ago.

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

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

　　 Initially puzzled question, the collectors paid homage to the tentacle to answer.

"Eating plants in the woods is difficult to obtain water. At this time, in order to keep their own water from losing, the plants will draw back the body fluids in the leaves and branches, and flow them back into a water storage container underground. This part of the ground will enter a dehydrated state of suspended animation. Didn't you notice when you ate it?"

　　 "It's really like this..."

　　 At the beginning, I broke off a branch at random and tasted it. It did not contain any water as my family said. Although the appearance looked bright and bright, crystal clear, like glass and beautiful jade, it was completely dry.

　　 I visited to understand the underlying genetic structure of this planetary creature before, but I didn't notice this, but I was a little bit puzzled at first.

　　 "Why is the water in the fruit not recovered?"

"The fruit is for the animals to eat. Of course, the water is not drawn back. There are various reasons. Some are mutually beneficial symbiosis with the parasitic organisms you just vomited. When the fruit parasitizes the host to lay eggs, the seeds of the plant will be planted in the host by the way. The parasites cannot distinguish the difference between their eggs and plant seeds, so they will be more careful about plant seeds. ."

　　 The collector explained to Chu.

"When the host dies due to an overdose of parasites, the seeds will absorb the nutrients from the host's corpse to thrive, and the parasites will die in large areas because they do not have the nutrients provided by the host. In order to survive, they will choose to place their eggs in seedling plants. Among the flower buds, when the bud matures and becomes fruit, it is another fruit with parasites, so the cycle continues."

To put it bluntly, it is to use and be utilized. The parasites use the fruits of plants to ensure that they can obtain sufficient water even if they do not go to the water source. If they are hungry, they can obtain nutrients directly from the fruits without facing the harsh outside world. Survival race.

　　 When a creature eats the fruit, the parasite enters the host from the esophagus to complete the parasitism, and then kills the host after a period of time. The plant uses the parasite to complete the long-distance seeding of the seed.

　　 This is not trust, it is simply using each other to let each other achieve their own goals because of the ‘benefits’ created by them.

　　 "It's really a brainless development model."

This biological model is not very optimistic at the beginning~lightnovelpub.net~ is too stable. The two species lose the pressure to survive under each other's dependence, and the direction of evolution will also change. Plants will evolve the fruit more attractively. Power, parasitic organisms will evolve to be easier to parasitize into the host's body.

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

　　 "It is true, but it can continue to this day, and it can be regarded as a relatively successful way of survival for races on this planet."

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

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

　　 "No, you got it wrong, I didn't mean this."

　　 initially stopped the rebuttal of the same clan, and it replied.

"What I want to illustrate is a vertical upward development model. As long as we are given enough time, we will one day be able to develop the ability to fight the terrifying things in the universe, but they can’t work. Give them a trillion years. Time doesn’t work either, because they don’t have a vertical upward development pattern. They may eventually rule the planet, but they will stop there, and they will eventually become the funerary for the death of stars."

　　 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 so difficult to give birth to wisdom."
