How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 123: Cognitive

"Wow--"

The buzzing sound like a whistle sounded in the hearing system of the aliens in the colony, which was the alarm before the \'explosion\' started, which also meant that the flood tide came again.

"Oh, it\'s another \'explosive sound\'."

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

"What\'s the panic?" When the boom started, Hong Chao couldn\'t rush in.

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

But Marvin\'s work didn\'t take long and stopped.

As an experimental subject, the meat cubes burst into a pair of disgusting paste that needed to be coded.

"...I just wanted to tell you that the protection against \'explosive sound\' in the laboratory has not been completed."

"Didn\'t I have told you to do it more than ten days ago?"

Marvin stared at his assistant slightly angrily. In his prostination, the assistant explained the whole truth.

"General, the governor\'s office said that there were not enough building materials, so...so..."

There is no need for an assistant to make it clear later, and Marvin also understands what\'s going on. It\'s just that the governor is putting pressure on her.

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

"In this case, let\'s take a break."

"When the sound is over, you go to the refrigerator and get another piece of experimental product, and the work will continue."

Marvin dragged her tired body out of the laboratory, but she heard the assistant\'s nervous words.

"Well, that, the governor wants me to give you a letter."

With that, 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 a little unhappy.

"Didn\'t I tell you not to collect things indiscriminately?"

"But that\'s the governor. I\'m just an inconspicuous little man..."

The assistant was sad. Now he regrets why he took this job at the beginning, and finally understands what he has to face after taking over this job.

No wonder the salary in the original agreement would be so high. No wonder Sir Marvin\'s assistant is like a commodity that keeps changing on the assembly line. No wonder when the former assistant leaves, he will show a look of seeing the savior - the assistant wants to cry without tears, he can already expect his boss\'s refusal, and then It was he who was put on all kinds of small shoes by the governor\'s office.

However, Marvin\'s next answer was beyond his assistant\'s expectation.

"Let\'s go."

"Uh..."

The assistant thought he had misheard.

Seeing his assistant\'s stunned mind, Marvin repeated it impatiently.

"How many times do I have to say that we are leaving?"

"Oh...oh! Yes! I\'m going to prepare a car for you!"

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

Marvin stared straight at the experiment that had broken a pile of paste fluid under the explosion. Unconsciously, he fell into meditation and muttered to himself.

"It\'s so strange. Why is it like this?"

"Why did the monster that attacked us change after the meteorite rain? There are no monsters in the past now.

"The time interval between them is so short, as if they had an appointment in advance. It\'s really unacceptable to say it\'s a coincidence."

"Is it the meteorite that those monsters attracted?"

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

"So, will it be a wake-up? Because of the meteorite rain, did it completely \'wake up\' the biota sleeping on this planet?

"From the perspective of the ecosystem on this planet, it is very telling that the size of \'Meat Mountain\' is too huge as a creature.

The largest creature on the home planet is only half of the \'meat mountain\'."And this creature itself is constantly releasing heat, which should be the ability to fight against the severe cold. The observations of this parent star a long time ago are consistent. It is a planet completely covered by ice and snow, but now there is no ice and snow, and the climate is suitable. It should be because of the number of \'meat mountains\'. It has reached the point of paying attention to the planet\'s climate.

"It is not simply an ecosystem that can breed such complex creatures. The evolution of organisms is a gradual evolution step by step. Because of the external environment, it changes itself and adapts more to the environment for survival. Therefore, the ecosystem that breeds complex organisms must be a more complex ecosystem."

"Before the planet was frozen, there was a period of species outbreak, and the effect of this explosion was far beyond that of the home planet, making the species on this planet evolve more advanced."

As soon as Marvin\'s idea came into being, he couldn\'t help but begin to fantasize.

"There was a period of time on this planet. During that period, the phenomenon of continuous outbreaks of species occurred frequently, and all types of creatures were everywhere."

"They quickly dominated the ocean, and dominated the sky..."

Marvin, who thought about it, stopped and found that something didn\'t make sense - the creatures of this planet dominated the sea and the sky, but why didn\'t they dominate the land?

However, Marvin soon thought of a possibility.

"Perhaps, at that time, there was no land at all, or only small scattered islands, so the species of this planet did not evolve completely into completely terrestrial life."

"The earliest monsters should belong to the bottom of the food chain. Now they are not seen again. It is probably because the number of predators who have \'awakened\' to feed on those monsters in the ocean has been stabilized."

"Fortunately, we only need to face the extremely territorial biomeg of \'Meat Mountain\'..."

Marvin pushed and stopped again, and she found that there was something that didn\'t make sense, 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 abnormal.

In reverse understanding, at some time on this planet, there has been an abnormal temperature rise on the surface, which may be the result of something or an event, and this phenomenon is also likely to be the root cause of the biological outbreak on the planet.

"...I seem to have found something terrible."

"No, you can\'t make such an assertion now. This is just a guess. We need to find evidence to prove it."

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

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

"Hmm."

Marvin recovered from her drifting thoughts, and she nodded.
