How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 753: The origin of the mutation

Latest website: The Zerg was born on a terrestrial planet named'Tyre'. There is no ocean on this planet. There are only lakes distributed across the planet. The Zerg was originally born in these large and small lakes. Bred out.

However, the Zergs of that period could not be regarded as Zergs, but savage beasts without wisdom, from single cells on the micro-scale to various creatures on the macro-scale, deceiving, fighting, and disguising...In order to survive, they do everything they can to survive. It can be said that this planet also has other species with complex ecosystems.

Tyre suffers from the baptism of ionizing radiation every once in a while. The radiation intensity is not high, just to the extent that it destroys the genes of a wide range of organisms.

The reason is that the massive celestial body surrounding Tyre is not a star, but a neutron star with a relatively slow rotation. The pulse beam of the neutron star does not directly strike Tyre, but there is still diffuse ionizing radiation spreading to Tyre.

Tyre’s first creatures that climbed onto the land could not adapt to the terrestrial environment. Even if the ionizing radiation of the neutron star was filtered by Tyre’s atmosphere and the radiation was reduced a lot, it is still inevitable that a large number of creatures would die due to radiation. Aquatic organisms can survive the disaster, because the water body is also a natural radiation shield.

The seeds are still there, and there will be aquatic creatures climbing up to the land.

Tyre is a planet with a land area larger than that of a body of water. There is a wider living space on the land. As long as the survival instinct of the creatures on Tyre is not lost, they will not live in the lake peacefully.

Not afraid of life and death, just for survival!

After a long period of time, the death and rebirth of terrestrial creatures, finally some creatures on Tyre have evolved genes that are very resistant to radiation, and the land they climbed up to explore and conquer.

Although after a long period of time, genes with strong resistance to radiation have finally evolved, but strong resistance is only strong, and does not mean complete immunity.

Therefore, whenever Tyre rotates towards the neutron star and the day comes to one side of the planet, the terrestrial life in that area will mutate on a large scale.

Most of the mutations are very deformed, and even survival is a problem, but there are also a few creatures that mutate very advanced. They are the lucky ones in a million who sneaked into Europe by lottery.

Through the natural selection laws in the ecosystem, species that cannot adapt to survival will be discarded. Under the big waves and scouring the sand, the biological population on Tyre has become more and more advanced, and the evolution of species is far faster than other complex ecosystems. The evolution of species on other planets is measured in ten thousand years, while on Tyre it is measured in years.

On Tyre, creatures with a size like ants, as long as they are lucky enough, in fifty to sixty years, may evolve into a powerful predator of mammoth size and dominate one side.

However, such a competitive environment is not easy to evolve intelligent species. Large-capacity brains will occupy a lot of nutrients in the body, which will prevent intelligent species from competing physically and overwhelming other organisms.

The manufacture of tools does not happen overnight, and the accumulation of knowledge also requires a process, but the competition between organisms is every moment, and the high-speed evolution brings about a much fiercer competitive environment than other planetary ecosystems.

This has caused many of the intelligent species that were awarded the ‘Brain Expansion’ on Tyre to be destroyed due to their inability to adapt to the fierce biological competition. 89 Literature Net

There are exceptions to everything. A special kind of intelligent creature was bred on Tyre and has a firm foothold in the highly competitive ecosystem.

They are the original embryonic form of the Zerg-Worm Nest.

The appearance is similar to a volcano. By breeding a kind of small creatures, ‘worker bees’, the nest is responsible for producing worker bees and making food that is easy for the worker bees to digest, while the worker bees are responsible for hunting and guarding the nest.

At this time, there is no Zerg network, and they rely on bio-pheromone to maintain their relationship with each other.

Since there is sufficient nutrient supply and there is no need to participate in the fierce survival competition, the wisdom of the worm nest will be opened naturally.

Before the awakening of wisdom, the worm’s nest will exchange information, because this can increase the probability of survival. Even for wild animals, communication is also a very useful means of survival, such as lions and tigers on the earth, they will be conscious. Leave excrement on the edge of the territory to warn intruders outside the territory.

The pheromone exchanges between the insect nests leave the pheromone on a worker bee, and the worker bee is used as a messenger to deliver the ‘pheromone letter’ to complete the communication between the insect nests.

The increase in intelligence means the increase in the complexity of communication, and the amount of information transmitted between the same kind is increasing.

This kind of information circulation network has built a primitive civilized society. The worm's nest in this social system is the commanding class of the original Zerg, and the wisest leader of the class is revered as the ‘master’.

The power of the group is very powerful, especially after the emergence of "civilization", other creatures in the category of "beasts" can not fight against the Zerg at all. Because of the successful promotion to the "civilization", the Zerg has become the top of Tyre. , The most suspenseful predator.

However, no matter how powerful a creature is, it is very weak in the face of natural disasters.

Reality slapped the Zerg awake from the dream of "invincible under heaven"~lightnovelpub.net~ An asteroid with a diameter of 30 kilometers hit Tyre, and the shock wave destroyed all creatures in an area of ​​Australia, there None of the Zergs was spared.

Dust clouds cover the sky for 20 years, accompanied by severe cold that lasts for 20 years. Ionizing radiation is weakened by the dust clouds, and the entire ecosystem has entered the era of the'evolutionary brake'. I don't know how many powerful species are because of this. Unable to survive the severe cold and go to extinction.

In front of nature, all living things are so fragile.

The Zerg also almost perished because of this. If it weren't for the master to call all the same kind to command the worker bees to dig the ground and let the entire Zerg hide in the ground and rely on geothermal heat to survive the 20 years of severe cold, I am afraid the Zerg would have been extinct.

However, even if they hide underground and rely on geothermal heat to survive, the situation of the Zerg is not very good. Because there is no food, the extinction of a large number of species on the ground means that the Zerg has lost the source of food and many nests starve to death. No way, the brain activity consumes too much energy, but they can't find a new source of bioenergy, so they can only starve to death.

As for the Zerg who survived, it was because they were forced by the environment to learn how to plant them, and lived under the ground for twenty years through a fungus plant that absorbs geothermal energy to produce bioenergy.
